I wanted to get that out there before we like
start this four hundred and First.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I did get the show out late again, even though
I actually started editing it, editing it right after we
finished last week, because I had so much fun on
the live show that I was like all into it.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
And I got like fifteen minutes in and then was like, Okay,
I gotta go to bed.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I'll just finish this, and then I like I wrote
like the book for like I'm not even kidding, like NonStop.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I'm almost on. I think I have.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I think it's going to be three chapters left and
then I have to figure out the that while I
was talking about, but like I didn't want to do
that until I've had the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
So I'm like just about done.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
And I've been on Canva, Like I watched I watched
the episode last night, the finale for Survivor.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I watched the first half at.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Elenas and then I came home and like I had
to rewatch parts of it today because I was I've
been on Canva like creating scenes so that way I
can write about them easier because I have the whole
description there.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
So I've like made full pictures of like these.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Things, and it's and it's like it's been like super
fun because then I can like just write through like
a whole bunch of chapters like that take place where
like anyway, I thought alex is upset because it's not
in black and white, and I was like, well, then
write a book and put in black and white. I
don't know what's to tell you, but good Canva's better
(02:52):
in color?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
But yeah, no, it's I've uh yeah, so that's why
it was late. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I feel like I'm building this book up too much.
It's not that good, guys, But like you know, I mean.
Speaker 7 (03:02):
So you're enjoying doing it. Sometimes it's like the end
result is immaterial to the journey.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
That is true actually, because I feel like more creative
or whatever.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
But Shandy, that is.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
An awesome coincidence. I had a similar one this morning
in which Alex was he was.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Things led to whatever.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
He has a watch. He's been setting the watch to
wake him up at seven o'clock so we can do
one hundred crunches. He then comes into my room and
wakes me up when he doesn't have the alarm on
the watch.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
He sleeps until like seven thirty seven forty five.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Zach is at the age now where he naturally sleeps
until seven thirty eight o'clock.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I because they don't have to be at school until nine,
and we're fifteen.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Minutes away, so like we can all easily get up
at eight, eat breakfast, make lunches, get out the house
on time, and everybody's fine, except you know, Alex has
been doing on this freaking kick where he wakes me
up and then it wakes both of me and Jay
up and it's like super annoying. So last night I
told him. I was like, because we went to Alenus
(04:10):
and then we got home. Uh, we left it like
nine because that's we left after the first tribal council
was done, and we got home at like nine twenty five,
So they didn't go to bed until like nine forty five.
By the time they like got changed and rust their
teeth and all that, because I had them shower before
he went and Uh, I was like, I need you
to turn the alarm off, like it's you are forty
(04:32):
five minutes later than usually go to bed, and I
can't have you getting up early because it's just like
we can't do that, and.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
He was refused to.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
So I was like, I'm gonna take that watch off
you when you go to sleep. If you're not going
to take it off, now give it to me. And
he didn't, so I took it off when he fell
asleep and he woke up and he was pissed, and
then he was He came in the room and he
started elbowing me. He was like, I don't know what
time it is, and I was like, I do, it's
seven thirty.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
You slept in because you never watch He's like, no,
I got up at six, but I didn't know what
time it was. And I was like, if only you
had an Alexa in your room that you could ask anyway.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
So he was in a bad mood, and like I
was so frustrated in the car on the way to
school that I was just like, Alex, I just I
don't know what to do, Like you're just being like
so extra right now, and like I guess my voice
was like sounded like I was crying.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
I swear to God. I wasn't. I was just exacerbated.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
And he was like, stop being such a cry baby mommy.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
And I was like, you know what, I'm putting the
radio on. I'm gonna ignore you, and do you know
what that sass is?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
So I know, I was like, do you know what
fucking and you know what fucking song started playing on
the radio when we turned on.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
It was the Beatles, Cry Baby Cry, I swear to God,
and I was just like, oh my god. He was like,
see even the Beatles think you're cry.
Speaker 7 (05:57):
Baby, Like, oh my god, no, yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Not as cool as it's number four hundred. The universe
was like stop it anyway, how are you guys, Amanda?
You did not have a great week as Oh my.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
God, I feel like I'm slowly but surely coming back
to life. I had the flu. Yes, the flu is
still going around at the end of May. As I've
been right. The entire joke I've been making all week
is I'm late to trends.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Like what trends, I mean the flu primarily.
Speaker 7 (06:45):
Most people usually have had it by the end of spring.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Oh that's very yeah true.
Speaker 7 (06:52):
Now, Thursday evening I started feeling a little like scritchy
scratch in the back of a throat. And then Friday
I woke up and I was like, Nope, not gonna today.
Stayed in bed all day. Same thing Saturday, try, which
is like such a bummer because like we had like
(07:13):
a really great weekend planned. It was like we were
going to do some petitioning for like a parents group
that we're involved in, and I was supposed to drive
upstate to like spend an overnight with some of my
old college friends and like see their how they're like
(07:34):
new house that they built like three years ago. And
I was just betting up there to see it, and
like I had this whole great weekend plans that I
was like really looking forward to, and it was just
like my body was like no, just no. So, yeah,
the flue sucks. I had never had it before. I've
never been so sick in my life.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Oh my god.
Speaker 7 (07:55):
Yeah, I like stupidly, I'm just spending like two full
days and bed. It was like Daniel and Eden were
at the playground and yeah, it was like they didn't
have any sunscreen. I was like, oh, yeah, I think
I can walk up and get bring you the sunscreen.
And then it's like I foud like a panic attack
because I got there and I realized I couldn't get home,
(08:16):
Like I was like too thick to walk back home.
Oh no, thankfully, Like you know, Daniel had the car,
oh because Eden also had a dentist appointment that day,
Like we just had all this stuff. I broke. Yeah,
but he then drove me to Urgent Care, which is
(08:36):
where they confirmed the flu.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
And then I'm so sorry.
Speaker 7 (08:40):
Yeah, I started feeling a lot better, and then I
had like terrible insomnia from the Tamia flu, which is
apparently a side effect.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Oh shit, wait, yeah what I had.
Speaker 7 (08:53):
Like so because by the time I got back from
urgent care like got my prescription, like I took my
first tama flu like later in the day on Saturday Sunday,
I was feeling great. But then like Sunday night, I
like could not sleep, like maybe slept two hours, Like
I was up literally all night. Like I like got
(09:13):
up and I like, you know, I read and then
I like turned my leg off again, and then I
was like nope, okay, I got up and I like
sat in the living room and like read in the
living room like just could not Oh my god. And
then I finally like at four am, like googles that's
like is it something out side effect? Turns out it is,
Oh wow. So then I like took a day off
(09:34):
from the MENS that I could like reset and like
start taking it in the morning, which did help ultimately,
but just yeah, like it's it's been wrong. It's been rough.
I've just been like it was zorry.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Oh my god.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
Yeah, So it's been it's been kind of a crappy
week for your girl.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Are you're feeling better now obviously?
Speaker 7 (09:56):
Yeah, yeah, I feel better. I'm just like very tired.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
And yeah, you know, yeah, yeah, I remember when Jay
had the flu when Zach was like six months old,
and just yeah, he had the same thing. He was
like tired for like you know, two weeks after.
Speaker 7 (10:15):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
But he also and this happens to him every time
he gets really sick because it happened when he had pneumonia,
and he happened when he had COVID, and like he
gets really like he goes through the sick and like
gets sick, and then he'll.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Feel better for like a few hours, and then all
of a sudden, he'll just like throw up out of
nowhere and then he's like better.
Speaker 8 (10:37):
It's like his body does this thing where like you know,
some people poop it out, he throws Steve vomits it
out like he gets It's like it's like that last
like your body getting rid of everything.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
And I know I'm not sharing anything that he hasn't
shared or I haven't talked about a podcast before or
any podcasts before, but like, yeah, it's just weird, like
how to like your body just expels the final bits
of being sick, but then you're tired for like weeks after.
Speaker 7 (11:03):
Yeah, yeah, thanks, thankfully. No, I was very nauseous, but no,
no vomiting.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
That's good, that's really good. Actually, you have the aches
and pains and all that though.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
Yeah, yeah, just aches and pains, just like I'm so sorry,
couldn't move, had no appetite, Like.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Yeah, well, you know, on the bright side, they're not
doing flu shots or COVID shots next year, so we.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
All might feel how you're feeling.
Speaker 7 (11:32):
We can just do it all again next year, but worse,
but worse because everybody's gonna be at it.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
I'm really sorry, but I'm glad that you're at least
feeling sit up a little better.
Speaker 7 (11:43):
Yeah, thanks, thanks. Yeah, it's been a long week. I'm
gonna treat myself to a pedicure tomorrow. Oh please do
I'm working a half day and I'm gonna go.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Wonder they really massage your feet and your calves just mine?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah, do that extra fifteen dollars upgrade. You'd previously be like,
why do I need this?
Speaker 7 (12:03):
You need that? I do I do? With these feet?
They're pretty gross, they're pretty grass Normally I can handle
like my own gross feet, but even I'm like, girl,
I don't think that skinna should look like that.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Yeah, I have an extra foot peel that I keep
meaning to do because now it's like fliplop season in
the South.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
My dad said, was really cold up by you guys today.
Speaker 7 (12:28):
Yeah, today was pretty Yeah, also pretty rough, and like
affecting my mood is the fact that it's also just
been like February today.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yeah, that's what he's he said, like, he was like,
it's May.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
But it's forty two degrees and what'd he say? It's
forty eight degrees in raining in the merry marry month
of May. You can see your breath outside direct quote unquote.
Speaker 7 (12:48):
Yeah, I mean I wouldn't know. I didn't go outside today.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Yeah, well you miss nothing.
Speaker 7 (12:55):
Had no desire. En didn't even go to school today.
She was like, and it seems sick, and then turns
out she wasn't sick, but.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Was it one of those like mommy.
Speaker 7 (13:09):
She really did, like her eyes were all watery and.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Like, okay, allergy season, baby.
Speaker 7 (13:15):
Yeah, she's had a coughin she's had a running nose
for like a month.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yeah, getting a lot of headaches at night, which I
know is probably he does drink a lot of water
during the day because I send him with a water
bottle and he tells me he refills it. I don't
think there's any reason why he would, you know, not
be truthful about that. But he he's always been more
sensitive to like that. We're not like in full. Pollen
(13:39):
season's over.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Shanny can attest to pollen season in the South and
how much it sucks.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Yes, but there are four there are four allergy seasons
in North Carolina, so you're not out of the woods
yet or ever.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
We had some excitement yesterday. Yesterday was a wild day.
So Zachary goes downstairs in the morning to go get something.
Vivian follows him. Now, Vivian went down first. Actually he
goes down right after her.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
He comes up.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I'm like, Zachary, he left those lights on downstairs. I
need you go turn them off. He's sitting there complaining,
like I turn them off by it, gets to the stairs,
stops dead in his tracks and goes. Vivian caught a mouse,
so we rewatched the tape. She went down at exactly eight.
(14:34):
Zachary went down at like eight oh one, like a
minute later, she came up, you know, two minutes after him,
enough time for me to notice the lights are on.
She had the mouth fully in her mouse and mouse
bully in her mouth.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
The mouth, yeah, just with the tail and the legs
stick little feet sticking out.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Super gross.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
I'm like, what like, So I go over and I'm like,
oh my god, Jay is in fucking London right now.
Last time we had a.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Comprehend in the garage when he was in California for work.
So like, all these fun things happen when he's not
here and I and I mean fun because everybody's yelling
like not at Vivian.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
But they're like, oh my god, you got it.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
It startles her so much as she opens her mouth
and the injured mouse runs away.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Oh no, no, no, no, it.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
All can go down exactly as you're imagining. So Zachary
jumps on my kitchen table. I mean, this fucking kid
is standing on my kitchen table and it is not
a stand on table, like you know. I'm like, he's
up there, foot flipping out. Alex is still just in
his boxers because he was in the middle of getting
dressed when this happened, and he runs out of his room,
(15:44):
like Vivian caught a mouse and he's like, oh my god, it's.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
So cheat cheating goodness can Yeah, and I was like
keeping house. Yeah, She's like, oh oh look it's bleeding.
Oh now it's under Zachary's book but he's following it
around and like where.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
I'm like, I can't look at this, Like I can't
look until it's dead. I don't want to see this
mouse running around.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Zachary's up there. I'm not free to the mouse. I
just don't want to see it.
Speaker 7 (16:14):
Yeah, so, oh, you.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Know, Zachary. She is under Zachary's book bag. Zachary's like,
I can't tag my book back to school. Like we
rewatched this scene like on the camera and like it
is a fucking chaotic movie scene.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
I'm standing there in my bathrobe and I'm like this,
I had Jay on FaceTime.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I much she got on the house. What did we do?
He's like just listening. He says nothing. He's like what
he says nothing? He listening the whole thing. Then we have,
you know, Zach's screaming on the table.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Alex Is like, oh my god, Oh it's he's calling
the play by play out.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Oh it ran under the couch and then it doesn't
come out from under the couch. Vivian's still staring at
the couch, so I know it's still there.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
And to make matters worse of all, the fucking mouse
is squealing, squeaking, squealing, making noises and I'm like ugh.
So then everything gets quiet, the mouse stops making noises.
Alex and Dakri eventually calm down, and I'm like.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Okay, we gotta go to school.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
If the mouse comes back out, Vivian will catch it,
and she'll do a lot better job catching it while
we're not home because she doesn't have us.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Yeah, so we're gonna go.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
So we go to school, come back, Vivian's still sitting
there at the couch.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
I'm like, all right, the mouse hasn't come out.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
So Jay is like, you need to flip the couches over,
and I'm like, do I really have to?
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Like I don't want to.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
He's like, you need to flip the couches over because
we can't have a dead mouse under the couch. And
also like there's a event there, and like you can't
have the mouse in the event too dead, Like you
gotta figure out what's going on.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
I was like, I really don't want to. I was like, fine,
So I call my dad. I'm like, Daddy, I'm forty
one years old.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Daddy, I have to flip the couch over to find
the dead mouse.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I don't want to. Can you just stay on the
phone with me?
Speaker 3 (18:24):
And he was like.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Sure, so, and you have to.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
And it's it's at the side of the couch that's
against the piano. They have to take my couch like
unhook it in part. So I had to take like
the chase lounge side first. I moved that over and
I didn't expect to find it anywhere but that one side,
because as the cat hadn't move from that area. Yeah,
so like I move that, I was like, there's nothing here.
I flipped the other one over.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
It's not there, and then I can't be the one
that The long.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
One was too heavy for me, so I just kind
of scooched it on back and was like, Okay, there's
nothing under here. And my dad was like, but you
really probably do need to flip the couch to make
sure that it's not like hiding on the underside.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
And I was like fine. So it took me.
Speaker 7 (19:15):
It took me from it, like we're going from the couch.
Speaker 9 (19:20):
Well, it took me a few minutes, but I finally
flipped it and I discover and I have a picture
I'll send you after I discover there is a hole
in the bottom of the upholstery of the couch that
was not previously there.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
We actually we were pretty good about vacuuming under the couch.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
And I'm like, fuck I was, and like I said,
I say this, I was like, fuck, Dad, there is
a hole in the bottom of my couch.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
I didn't I don't remember the hole being there last time.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
It was probably like a month ago, the last time
we flipped it over and like vacuumed underneath it.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
The cat gets her stuff like under there pretty frequently, so.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I would say like once every like six weeks, we
like flip it in vacuum.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Probably should do it more, but like it's a it's
a pain in the ass.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
So but it was like a month ago, and I
don't remember seeing that hole there, but I took a
picture and then I.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
See like indentation and that bucking mouse runs.
Speaker 10 (20:18):
Out a hole and runs towards the pile, the shoe
pile by my door, and it's then hiding there. Now,
I had I thought there was going to be a
dead mouse, so I had moved Vivian into my bedroom
with a door closed because I her to pick up
a dead mouse and bring it under my bed like
she usually likes to do.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
So I'm like fuck.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
So I put my phone down and I'm like, Mom, Dad,
you need to because by that point my mom is
like what's going on? They're on face time now, and
I'm like, watch this shoe pile.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
The mouse is in the shoe pile.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
So I get the cat out and I'm like I
put her there and she's pissed because she didn't want
to be in the bedrooms.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
She's it's me. So I'm like, Vivian, mouse, get the mouse, FIBs,
Go get the mouse, Come on, FIBs. And she just
she's like no, and she like walks.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Home sometimes and I'm like yeah, exactly, and I'm like
i'll give you chicken.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
I'll give you chicken if you get the mouse.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
And she hears the word chicken and she goes and
sits by the fucking fridge and.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
I was like, no, no, you can't sit by the
fridge to get the mouse. The mouse is by the door.
So then I like lure her over.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
I have her tissory that I cut, I like broke pieces,
and I learn her over.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
I learned her over, and I dropped one in like
the edge of the shoe pile, and I was like,
get the chicken and then get the mouse. She gets
the chicken and she literally runs off with.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
The chicken disappears like all right, I am on my
own with his mouth. My parents are washing this whole
thing on FaceTime because I have the phone propped, and
I was like, okay, fine, Like, let me get a
broom and start picking up shoes with the broom.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
So I'm picking up the shoes. The rothies go on
the pile inside the house.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Sneakers just in case I missed it because I saw
it was small. Sneakers went outside the door, just in case.
So like I'm breaking them all up.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
I'm down to the last three shoes. Finally, Vivian Vivian
at one point.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
And I swear on my life this happened. She comes
over at one point one I'm picking up all the
shoes and shaking them out, and she the couch is
flipped over, so like the top of the couch is
on the ground.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
She starts just.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Lounging there and watching me, like full on lounging. My
mom was like laughing so hard. She was like, my
parents are not cat people. They're like, oh my god,
I love this cat.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
This is so funny. I was like, she's supposed to
be getting the mouse. I get down to the last
three shoes.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
The mouse scurries, scurries out, tries to climb up the wall,
but it's still kind of injured.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Falls, But I'm like, Okay, the mouse is here. The
mouse is alive. My parents, it happens so fast that.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
They didn't see it because they didn't quite know where
to look, even though like they had a prime view
of it.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
So I was like, no, the mouse is here.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
So finally I get rid of all the shoes and
I find it's because I have these shoe trays like
that the shoes go in against.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
The thing, and it was hiding like under the lip
of one.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
So finally like I see it and I go and
I'm like I trap it against the wall and the
shoe tray and I'm like.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Vivian Dan, they ain't come here, now, come finish the job.
And she's like tail wag doo doo doot. It just
sits there and I'm like, come finish the job.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
So finally she does her little stalker thing. She goes
up to it and starts playing dead. This went on
for forty five minutes, this whole, this whole ortal with
the flipping the couch. So it starts playing dead and
she's like she's pawing at it, and it's it's every
so often it's pulling back at her and squeaking like.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
And she's just like, you're boring. So she walks so
and then it would play dead again. So like she
she was getting confused. I think she was like, okay,
just move, but now it's like limp. So at one
point she goes.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Back to her little perch, re hides, and then re
tries to attack it, and it's still like, you know,
like what I like this in front?
Speaker 1 (24:33):
It was so I was just like, oh my god,
I don't know what to do. So at this point,
I have the broom, I have the dust pan.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
I'm like, okay, maybe I can get it on the
dust pan and throw it outside, Like I just.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
I can't kill it. I cannot kill it, like I
get it. It's injured, but like I can't kill it.
So this goes on.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Vivian finally gets so fucking bored with this because it's
not playing with her and she wants to play with her,
you know, with the mouse, Like she doesn't just want
to take a dead mouse. So she just walks away
and is like, I'm done with you. So then at
that point, I'm like I need to work, Like I
can't just sit here and like hold like still with
all my tensing muscles like this thing against the wall because.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
I was afraid to like let go because I thought
it would run away again and Vivian was over it.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
So finally, like I get it trapped again with a
dustpan and I'm like, okay, just like squeeze its head,
like just you know, get the neck, like do it.
And I start to do that and it starts squeaking,
like and I start crying.
Speaker 7 (25:36):
Why do you just open the door and throw it outside?
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Because it wasn't close because I didn't want to well,
I didn't want to risk because I didn't know how
like injured it was or wasn't. I didn't want to
risk it running away again. And then like starting this
whole process because like I thought that maybe I could,
but also I didn't know if I could.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
So I'm like, okay, I'm killing it. My parents are
still on FaceTime, mind you, and then I just start crying.
I was like, I can't kill it. Please something to
kill it. I doesn't want to kill it.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
So I ended up calling my neighbor. Her husband comes
over and he's like, if we can rescue it, we'll
put it outside. And I was like awesome, and then
he was like, no, it it because it did start
to run away, but he was able to catch it
on the dust pan.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
He's like, it is injured. I'm going to take it
outside and I was like okay, and then he he
did finish the job, but like it was.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
I was so tense after that that I felt like
I had run like a ten mile race, Like I
was physically exhausted. I was like I kind of want
to just lay down and cry because I just I
didn't want the mouse to die. But like, oh, it
was awful.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
No, but it's like worse if it's just going to.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Suffer exactly, And he said exactly so, and just.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
Die anyway, but like suffer for several hours exactly.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
So he was like you know. I was like, okay,
but then so I don't know if I told you guys,
but black.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
When we were in New York for Evangelian's confirmation on
May fifth, Communion. On May fifth, zach we find out
that the school concert, the spring concert, was just choir
club only. And I'm on the PTA and I was
in New York. But I sent a series of texts
and I was like, I would like you all to
know that I am very I'm always nice.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
I was like, I am very upset about this. This
is our last chance.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
For fifth graders to have a concert. The calendar has
said spring concert all year. It was never indicated that
it was just going to be the choir club. So
I'm very disappointed, but I okay. Well, last Thursday they
sent in a message saying that they were having an
art explosion show where they were going to have children's
(27:48):
all the students created a special artwork that would be
displayed throughout and you could go to the chorus concert
and do that. And I'm like, ugh, I don't want
to go just to watch the suit of artwork. Yesterday
at three ten, because I had asked Zachary several times,
I was like did you audition for the choir?
Speaker 1 (28:07):
He was like no.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
I was like, and then after I made a fuss
with the PTA, the the UH music teacher was like,
you know it was auditioned, but like, anybody can still
do the concert if they want to, just have him
come down. And he was like, I don't want to
do it.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
So I get this.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Text yesterday at three thirty five, so you know, the
spring concert.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
I'm actually in it, and I'm staying after school tomorrow
and it starts at six surprise.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
And the funny thing is is my parents were going
to come for the concert.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
They decided back on May fifth that they weren't going to.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
We talked about it in the car earlier this week
with my parents and Zach was like, can you come
anyway and see my artwork? And my mom was like no,
we'll just take pictures. So, like, you know, this was
a whole thing where he was very convinced he wasn't
in it. And I was like since when He's like, uh,
since since like ten minutes or.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Ago or so. I was like, you're singing in it?
He's like, I'm doing I'm doing that and the ukulele.
Can you please invite Grammy and Grampy talk later and
I'm like, what, are you sure you're in it. He's like, yes, Sam,
and it just stopped. I was like, oh my god,
I am so exhausted physically from this stupid fucking mouse encounter,
(29:28):
and now I need to tell Grandma and Grandpa if
they're gonna miss the concert after all. Like, okay, so no,
my parent whatever. My parents ended up coming down.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
They were thinking about it, but they would have to
get up at like three in the morning to leave
to get here, and they were you know, so they
talked to him and I sent them videos, but I
was just like, he apologized profusely, was like, how did
you not know, like you're in the ukulele club. Also,
when did you join the ukulele club? Because he is
not once brought his ukulele to school.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
He's like, yeah, you know what kept forgetting about rehearsals And.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
I'm like what, Like, yeah, they would tell chorus club
when to go, but they never told ukulele club when
to go.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
And I was like, oh my god. He's like, but
don't worry. The other kids are playing a lot of chords.
I just have to play the C chord over and
over again. Okay, He's like, and you know, we're also
singing a song. I was like, oh okay, so get there.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
You know, Jack and Cindy, you were like, so it was
all last minute, like the survivor thing was supposed to
start a half hour before it did and everything was
supposed to go smoothly. So you know, Jack and Cindy
show up when we find out that the ukulele club
and the fifth grade chorus, which they had to have
added all this.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Stuff like last minute because the fifth grade chorus sang
the song that they were practicing.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
For their moving up ceremony which is a month from now.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
And I have video.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Zachary knew like two shit lyrics of that song, but
you could tell he was like barely.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Singing and he is front and center.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Usually he's in the bag and his front of the
center in his bright green because they said to wear
the school shirts.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
It was really funny, but they did the you can
count on Me like one two three, the Brutomar song
m and I Can count on You like four three
two dude. Anyway, they were singing that but whatever, But
(31:32):
it was funny because I was.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
There and I was I saw another mom that of
Zach's friends that I know, and I.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Was like, hey, we only found out about this yesterday.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
She goes, oh, you know when I found out about
this when the school called to ask if my son
could stay for their dress rehearsal from five.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
And I was like, I guess they sent a letter home.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
A week ago, like right right around the time they
say the email home.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
And I don't know if I just.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Missed it, like because they send a lot of stuff
home at once, and like I flipped through and if
it's like tests and stuff, I'm not always or like
you know, like math homework, I'm not always like whatever
with it. I guess it's to be better about it
because I just totally missed it. But yeah, I guess
I'm not the only one. So yeah, really funny anyway.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
So that that was that, and then today was much
much more back to normal. Anyway.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Sorry, I took up a lot of time. I can
I either do a thing or we can just move
on to feedback.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
It's it's up to you guys.
Speaker 7 (32:40):
Whatever's fine.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Yeah, people are sharing. People over thirty five are sharing
the things they missed that younger generations may never experience.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
That real quick. Those are all things.
Speaker 7 (32:55):
Life with the Internet.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
And this is from BuzzFeed.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
I think they compiled it from ask Reddit, but anyway,
the first one is toy stores. Nothing beats the aisles
and aisles of stuff at toys r us slamming the
phone down to end a phone call.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
I was pretty satisfying about phone calls.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Finding a magazine with something you love on it, a
band or an actor or whatever. Now, if you love something,
you can immediately consume every piece of media on that thing,
which is also cool.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
But I'll miss.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Turning the corner at the grocery store and seeing that
Spin is doing an all Punk issue or a Rolling
Stone issue after Hunter Thompson.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Died and being like fuck yes. Also, the smell the
ink plus the paper and the perfume samples incredible. I
forgot all about perfume samples.
Speaker 7 (33:45):
Yeah, I can smell it right now.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Yeah. Did anybody just get a whiff of the perfume
samples like in their mind? Certain times I do.
Speaker 7 (33:54):
I didn't this time, but there are definitely times just
like walking around you just sort of like get a
smell of like gap dream or something.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Yes or any of the others. Yeah, Oh my God,
what's next? Life without social media?
Speaker 2 (34:16):
You know, I will say, as much as I do
like social media past the time, I would read so
many more books and write so many more books.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
In social media didn't exist, I.
Speaker 7 (34:30):
Would just do I would have many more hoppies and
probably feel much more fulfilled.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
Yes, this's like kind of that whole thing where you're like, wow,
how did they do the Sistine Chapel And then it's like, oh, yeah,
they didn't have anything else to do.
Speaker 7 (34:45):
That's how I feel like easily fixable. I feel like
this is something I talk about a lot that like
I just need to do, like a phone cleanse. Yeah,
it's like if you just break the habit, then it's
not so bad.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
I go through periods where I'm definitely not on my
phone as much, but then you know, like you go
through periods where it's like NonStop life without tech in everything,
whole summers with this you the backyard and alternating different
between friends and bicycles, Oh summers summers.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
So that feeling of not being watched class recorded.
Speaker 7 (35:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Yeah, Actually, because there was a point today at the
concert everybody of their phones out and I was just like,
I wonder how many people's like Instagram lives I'm appearing
in right now, like cheering for my kid. H and
then like, you know, if something happens to me on
the way out of here, will this be the last
moments somebody has captured me on social media?
Speaker 1 (35:42):
I frequently think about that.
Speaker 7 (35:44):
Jeez.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
I know.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
It is Internet before the corporate world got hold of it,
It was truly the Wild West era. The old Internet
was just more fun. There was this sense of discovery
when you found a niche website or cammunity, like it
was something unique and special, and there were special forums
of expression out there. Now it's all TikTok and YouTube,
and YouTube isn't as good as it used to be.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
I actually they were talking about this on.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Maybe it was Es, maybe it was Redders whatever, but
like it was overwhelmingly the people were like, Oh, I
think the question was what do you miss about the
Internet before it like became now and everybody was like
internet forums because you were there in your niche community
and you were safe because everybody else because the world
hadn't gone it had been crazy with like trolls and
(36:35):
it was just people talking about things that they liked.
Speaker 7 (36:39):
Yeah. I just feel like like early Internet video was
like more creative, it was more visually interesting. Like I
feel like TikTok has made video like the lowest common
denominator now, h yeah, like it's just not as visually imaginative.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
Yeah, you're right. Actually I never even stopped to think
about that.
Speaker 7 (37:04):
Yeah. Yeah, Like I think about the sort of viral
videos that like we were watching or like those like
thirty second reenactments by movie reenactments by bunnies.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
Yes, like you wouldn't see that ship on YouTube now
even like so funny, that's true because if you think
about what the first.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
Like real viral video.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Was the Charlie bit my finger one right, and like
that's the other day.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
And one person got it. I was like, oh, were like.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
This, Uh, Jack references that all the time.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
He loves the He's probably still watching that video and
keeping those people like in royalties, like.
Speaker 7 (37:52):
That End of the World video just circulated for me. Yeah,
so I like shared it. Oh my god, I loved it.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Yeah so good, so good, so funny.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
I mean I barely watch things if it's long, you know,
it's longer than like thirty seconds, I sometimes won't even
watch it.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
I'm like, yeah, I don't have the time listening to
want them.
Speaker 7 (38:23):
I want them to get that like algorithm.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Yeah, okay, the next one is listening to whole albums,
not just singles on an app.
Speaker 7 (38:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Yeah, a Blockbuster.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
I remember going and putting in my pizza order, then
going next door to Blockbuster, picking up movies and games.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Then going to get my pizza, heading home and joining
the evening. It was an event and experience.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
We see the same thing actually where Blockbusters would be
next to, like a pizza place or something, or a subway,
Chinese takeout.
Speaker 1 (38:58):
Or Chinese take out.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
Yeah, the arcade putting two quarters on the glass indicating
you've got next to watching this.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
One.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Dude beat Mortal Kombat too on just two quarters, which, yes,
that is very stranger things.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
Speaking speaking of things, there's just a couple left.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
This person said things built to last more than that,
things were built to be fixed. We joked so much
about how gen Z doesn't know how to fix anything,
but they've literally never owned anything they could fix themselves.
Literally every single thing is use and throw. How they
supposed to learn. I remember the nineties taking my boombox apart,
finding out that a few cogs had chipped, had chipped teeth,
(39:39):
runing my bike to the neighborhood store, finding the right
cog in the giant box of dogs, and then fixing
the boom box.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
It was a fun summer afternoon.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
I'm pretty good at fixing stuff, but I can't do
anything of my phone breaks now or my car. You
need specialized tools for fucking oil change.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
That is true though, because.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
I had fixed my the sliding things from my dishwasher
a few months ago, and one of the one that
I fixed, like is already broken again.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
And then and it's just like.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Like it's kind of frustrating, and like these things are
I'm just gonna keep building and replacing this until like
it's time to buy a new dishwasher, which I don't
want to do so, but I'll say Zach has this
keyboard that he was using at school and he lost
the chip that connects the bluetooth tooth and he it
was like, uh.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
Oh, this is broken, but it was not broken, but whatever.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
But the other night he actually sat there and he
took the entire thing apart and then figured out how
the motherboard works and like spent the whole evening doing that.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
Yeah, yeah, I thought that was really cool.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
Now, of course he can't fix it because it still
works on the Bluetooth, but like he taught himself like
how everything is connected and works and then like put
it back together.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
So it was really.
Speaker 7 (41:00):
Breast that that's really cool.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
Nice when we didn't have to pay an exorbitant amount
of money for concert tickets. Oh yeah, second to last
one being able to be unreachable. It's hard to really
get alone time or for time to relax when you
always have a phone on you and can always be reached.
Speaker 7 (41:21):
Yeah. Yeah, and even just the feeling that you have
to have your phone on you, Like I'm just like
at home and like if my phone's in the other room,
it's like no, no, I intentionally put it there, like
I need some space, and it's like, oh but what
if someone needs me? What if I mit something? It's like, well,
I also.
Speaker 2 (41:40):
Like it kept it later, It's fine, and that that's
totally like I totally agree with that, but like there's
also that like need to feel like you have to
have your phone with you when you leave the house,
especially as a woman, because you might need it for
an emergency.
Speaker 7 (41:54):
Yeah, every once in a while forget to bring my keys,
So if I didn't have my phone and I didn't
have my keys, then I would be royally stuck.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
Yeah, anyway, the last one's not that great, so we're
gonna end with that.
Speaker 1 (42:12):
All right, Fine, the excitement of your new favorite song
playing on the radio or on MTV. Yes, yeah, yeah,
all right, that was pretty much all right, all right, alright,
I was being a snob anyway.
Speaker 2 (42:28):
All right, let's take it a commercial break. Don't think
we have too much feedback, so we should be able
to get through the rest of the show pretty quickly.
Speaker 1 (42:35):
Here, here we go. All right, we are back.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
We ready to get into feedback Before we start, though,
I want to remind everybody that June seventeenth is that
the date is going to be our tenth birthday party.
Speaker 1 (42:50):
Ninth birthday party, ninth birthday party.
Speaker 3 (42:53):
We can never figure this out, but.
Speaker 1 (42:55):
We can never figure this out.
Speaker 11 (42:56):
Whatever turning Wait, we're turning nine, but it's our tenth season, no,
because we twenty sixteen.
Speaker 3 (43:07):
Yeah, this is always our question.
Speaker 1 (43:11):
And this is why I always say, and this is
why I.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
Always episode title it party like it's our first birthday party,
like it's our second birthday, because then I can go back,
what was our last birthday?
Speaker 4 (43:23):
Yeah, I mean we are going to be starting a
ninth birthday season.
Speaker 7 (43:28):
And our ninth birthday.
Speaker 1 (43:30):
It's our ninth birthday. We were entering our tenth year. Okay,
I think.
Speaker 7 (43:37):
Yes, that's how.
Speaker 2 (43:38):
Yes, whatever, join us live seventeen nine pm Eastern Standard time.
Speaker 7 (43:47):
You're in.
Speaker 1 (43:48):
We'll shoot without a script.
Speaker 2 (43:51):
We'll see if anything comes of it, but it will
be our old ship, all right, let's see.
Speaker 1 (44:01):
So yeah, please please join us though, I think that. Yeah. Also,
if anybody can leave us a voicemail. We got that
your voicemail will expire in thirty days unless.
Speaker 2 (44:11):
You use it email, So if somebody can please like
call us and leave us some feedback via voicemail, like,
we appreciate that. And I'm not like, yeah, like we're not,
you know, slutting it up for voicemails. We just need
somebody to like save our voicemail.
Speaker 3 (44:30):
Slutting it up for voicemail.
Speaker 1 (44:33):
Which you know in Trump's America. Here I can say
that again, all right.
Speaker 2 (44:43):
In the Facy Bag, Matt says, I'm a few chapters
into Woodworking by Emily Saint James. It's about a trans
woman in her mid thirties who gets help about her
transit trans transition from the only other trans person she
knows in her vigor conservative South Dakota town, one of
her student and liking it so far. Probably in the
broadcast book club. I'm assuming it's it's a true story.
Speaker 1 (45:07):
It's that a biography. Oh maybe not.
Speaker 7 (45:09):
Actually, I've definitely heard of this book. I feel like
maybe it was in my real simple they give like
book reviews, because that's right, Okay, it's interesting magazine, like
a physical magazine subscription.
Speaker 1 (45:22):
Do you wait, do you get the smelly samples?
Speaker 6 (45:28):
No, there's there's no magazine, just book reviews and recipes
and what to do with recycled the sponges.
Speaker 1 (45:45):
Yes, okay, it looks like it is a fiction book. Cool. Nice,
It's in best Literature and Fiction category.
Speaker 7 (45:54):
Cool.
Speaker 2 (45:54):
Add it to the Libby list, it says customers who
bought this book also about items by Lea Lippman.
Speaker 1 (46:07):
Also doesn't surprise me, you know Lib's book. Cool. Let's
see the that's it actually cool. We're really powered through.
Speaker 2 (46:25):
We're really powered through here, all right, let me give
you each one question about me, separate questions.
Speaker 1 (46:30):
So each of you pick one question one number.
Speaker 7 (46:34):
I don't know how many, three thousand.
Speaker 2 (46:36):
I'm gonna give it to you, tailored on you, Amanda.
Speaker 1 (46:40):
What three songs will always be found? That's half of
your playlist.
Speaker 7 (46:44):
Oh gosh, I don't know. They change all the time
right now. It's like in Conto Frozen two and Solid.
We've been really like into the good movie.
Speaker 1 (46:56):
Oh my god, we went there, goofy movie Beans too.
That song is so much fun.
Speaker 7 (47:00):
It's so good. It's so good. Oh and Moana, we've
been doing a lot of of Maui song which Eden
calls Mauie.
Speaker 1 (47:10):
Mallie and you can't correct her.
Speaker 7 (47:14):
You can't correct her, it's missus.
Speaker 1 (47:16):
Yeah, what's uh? What's the one that I like for Mowana?
Speaker 6 (47:20):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (47:20):
An, you know how far I'll go.
Speaker 7 (47:24):
Like eighteen times in one song. They're like, oh my.
Speaker 2 (47:26):
God, Okay, it's so funny that you mentioned the modulates
because I was just about to say that. So j
watch a YouTube video and it's like, how you know,
like the it was like the twenty Telltale Signs of
a Linen Manuel Miranda composed composed song.
Speaker 7 (47:42):
Modulate exactly that was modulates like five times, like, oh
my god, pick a key it's taking it.
Speaker 1 (47:50):
But that was that was the like number one thing.
Speaker 3 (47:54):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (47:55):
Okay, but like for real, I know, I know you
got I know you got some songbird on there.
Speaker 7 (48:00):
Probably, I know you got.
Speaker 1 (48:01):
Some incubus on there.
Speaker 7 (48:03):
Not so much these days, okay, not so much. What
am I listening to these days? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (48:10):
It's a hard question.
Speaker 7 (48:11):
I don't like.
Speaker 1 (48:13):
Yeah, you know it's an escape from reality.
Speaker 2 (48:18):
All right.
Speaker 1 (48:19):
Do either of you believe in karma?
Speaker 7 (48:22):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (48:23):
I would like to.
Speaker 4 (48:25):
I would like to to, to be fair, like, I
think the actual like like religious conception of karma is
different than like sort of how we.
Speaker 1 (48:34):
Use Okay, let's the broad universe sense of But I love.
Speaker 3 (48:39):
To think that.
Speaker 4 (48:39):
But then it's like really terrible things happen to good
people also, so like.
Speaker 1 (48:45):
You now, okay, I would love I would love to.
Speaker 3 (48:49):
I would love to help pope for it.
Speaker 4 (48:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (48:51):
Yeah, I want it to be real, whether or not
it is. I suppose this may be a different thing,
but I want it to be real.
Speaker 3 (49:00):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (49:00):
That's kind of like the old question, like, well, if
God exists, why does he let bad things happen to
good people? Also get like super theological about it too
or whatever like philosophical and be like, well maybe it's
a previous debt from a karmic debt from another lifetime
and then they'll get to like.
Speaker 1 (49:19):
Suffer through this and you know, go on blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (49:22):
Because oh, Alice was so mad and we found out
that we kill the mouse because they really wanted to
keep it.
Speaker 1 (49:26):
And I was like, but think about this.
Speaker 2 (49:29):
The mouse is gonna get to be reincarnated as a bunny,
rabbit or a cat in their next life, so it's
gonna be better off. He was like, Okay, yeah, I guess.
Speaker 1 (49:40):
So all right, one thing, what is priceless to you?
And can't say people?
Speaker 7 (49:48):
Hmm, can't say people, yes, because.
Speaker 1 (49:52):
We all know people are assumed.
Speaker 2 (49:54):
It's assumed that edid is the most priceless thing to Amanda,
and like children the most priceless thing to me. It
has to be a physical item, a physical item or something,
I don't know, not a person.
Speaker 1 (50:08):
You could say like the forests are priceless to me.
Speaker 7 (50:11):
I don't know, Like yeah, like sort of framed the
things we've got on the walls, you know, like that
kind of stuff. I feel like it's like really valuable
to me, like those sort of like visual memories of
a life.
Speaker 2 (50:25):
So if there was one thing I could save, like
if there was ever a fire in my house, I
think it would be either my grandpa's baby blanket or
those silver rosary beads that my grandma gave me like
ten years ago, because both those things have extreme sentimental
value to me.
Speaker 7 (50:44):
Yeah. Oh, and like weirdly, I was just thinking about
this the other day. I have this copy of a
tree groves in Brooklyn that was my grandfather's that he
had with him during World War Two, and like, I
guess he would do this with books. He'd write like
where he was in the world when he finished it.
Speaker 1 (51:05):
Oh that's cool.
Speaker 7 (51:06):
Yeah, And it was just sort of like, oh yeah,
if the apocalypse apocalypse comes, I would probably grab that
book with me because it's like, you know, like it's
just a cool thing to live on.
Speaker 1 (51:17):
It's history. It's cool.
Speaker 7 (51:18):
Yeah, just this cool little moment of someone's life that
is tangible and can like live on and extend on.
Speaker 2 (51:26):
Yeah, your granpa was the one that used to work
by the International dateline, right.
Speaker 7 (51:32):
Well, he did have some saying about that that it's
like if you went over it, you got like in
the navy, you got a special name, call yourself something.
I can't remember what it is now, but okay, yeah,
he was on that side of the world during the war.
Speaker 2 (51:49):
Yeah, okay, hello, Colleen, Budding in here real quick. So
for the next twenty minutes or so, we talked about
the season forty eight finale of Survivor.
Speaker 1 (52:00):
It's spoilery.
Speaker 2 (52:01):
I realized not everybody wants to listen to twenty minutes
of that, so I put it on these river jj
sfeed and I made it a patron bonus clip. Thank
you to the patrons. We appreciate. It was always but
all right, here we come back in in the mass
what she says. Here we go, all right, god, we
gotta do the mass what she said, and then we
gotta go Oh my god.
Speaker 7 (52:22):
I forgot we still had to do that.
Speaker 1 (52:23):
I thought, all right, oh yeah, let's do that, and
then we're gonna go. Here we go, Oh.
Speaker 3 (52:30):
My god, all right. I filmed them and almost sent
it to you.
Speaker 7 (52:36):
When I put it in, he was like, you don't
want it to blow up like the other one.
Speaker 1 (52:43):
And then he's like, uh, she.
Speaker 3 (52:49):
Came back up and I hear slip slip, slope.
Speaker 7 (52:54):
We're gonna keep this in as long as we're gonna
keep this in.
Speaker 1 (52:59):
No, I don't have to decide which one to pick.
I can pick them all. You gotta pick them all.
Speaker 3 (53:07):
I'm honestly annoyed. I've lived this long without one.
Speaker 7 (53:11):
Two is enough for me.
Speaker 1 (53:14):
We'll do whatever it takes.
Speaker 4 (53:17):
We pause for about five seconds and then we start again.
Speaker 7 (53:20):
How it's four hundred possible? This is huge.
Speaker 1 (53:26):
I don't know if he's still gonna be doing this
in twenty years.
Speaker 3 (53:32):
It's not gonna be real quick. It's me, but I'm
gonna try.
Speaker 7 (53:37):
We've done more than four hundred.
Speaker 1 (53:40):
We did a whole fucking thing on it.
Speaker 3 (53:43):
This is very wet and very difficult to open.
Speaker 5 (53:51):
Oh my god, Oh good crop heay, real quick, I
gotta make my joke one more time so I can
make it an episode title, so I can get redemption
for not being able.
Speaker 1 (54:04):
To do that on Survivor j JC.
Speaker 2 (54:07):
But going back to Survivor real quick, you might say
that David thought Joe was his brother from an utter mother.
Speaker 1 (54:24):

There we go, Alice, You ran with Alison mar.
Speaker 5 (00:55):

Speaker 4 (00:56):
Our friend's daughter was doing this little thing that's like
Girls on the Run, which I don't know if you've
heard of, but it's organization.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Yeah they have that yeah everywhere yeah here.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Anyway, So and they asked me to run with them

but my number was four hundred.
Speaker 6 (01:20):
No.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (01:22):
I was like, yeah, that's wild.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
I wanted to get that out there before we like
start this four hundred and First.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I did get the show out late again, even though
I actually started editing it, editing it right after we
finished last week, because I had so much fun on
the live show that I was like all into it.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
And I got like fifteen minutes in and then was like, Okay,
I gotta go to bed.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I'll just finish this, and then I like I wrote
like the book for like I'm not even kidding, like NonStop.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I'm almost on. I think I have.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I think it's going to be three chapters left and
then I have to figure out the that while I
was talking about, but like I didn't want to do
that until I've had the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
So I'm like just about done.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
And I've been on Canva, Like I watched I watched
the episode last night, the finale for Survivor.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I watched the first half at.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Elenas and then I came home and like I had
to rewatch parts of it today because I was I've
been on Canva like creating scenes so that way I
can write about them easier because I have the whole
description there.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
So I've like made full pictures of like these.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Things, and it's and it's like it's been like super
fun because then I can like just write through like
a whole bunch of chapters like that take place where
like anyway, I thought alex is upset because it's not
in black and white, and I was like, well, then
write a book and put in black and white. I
don't know what's to tell you, but good Canva's better
(02:52):
in color?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
But yeah, no, it's I've uh yeah, so that's why
it was late. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I feel like I'm building this book up too much.
It's not that good, guys, But like you know, I mean.
Speaker 7 (03:02):
So you're enjoying doing it. Sometimes it's like the end
result is immaterial to the journey.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
That is true actually, because I feel like more creative
or whatever.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
But Shandy, that is.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
An awesome coincidence. I had a similar one this morning
in which Alex was he was.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Things led to whatever.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
He has a watch. He's been setting the watch to
wake him up at seven o'clock so we can do
one hundred crunches. He then comes into my room and
wakes me up when he doesn't have the alarm on
the watch.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
He sleeps until like seven thirty seven forty five.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Zach is at the age now where he naturally sleeps
until seven thirty eight o'clock.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I because they don't have to be at school until nine,
and we're fifteen.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Minutes away, so like we can all easily get up
at eight, eat breakfast, make lunches, get out the house
on time, and everybody's fine, except you know, Alex has
been doing on this freaking kick where he wakes me
up and then it wakes both of me and Jay
up and it's like super annoying. So last night I
told him. I was like, because we went to Alenus
(04:10):
and then we got home. Uh, we left it like
nine because that's we left after the first tribal council
was done, and we got home at like nine twenty five,
So they didn't go to bed until like nine forty five.
By the time they like got changed and rust their
teeth and all that, because I had them shower before
he went and Uh, I was like, I need you
to turn the alarm off, like it's you are forty
(04:32):
five minutes later than usually go to bed, and I
can't have you getting up early because it's just like
we can't do that, and.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
He was refused to.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
So I was like, I'm gonna take that watch off
you when you go to sleep. If you're not going
to take it off, now give it to me. And
he didn't, so I took it off when he fell
asleep and he woke up and he was pissed, and
then he was He came in the room and he
started elbowing me. He was like, I don't know what
time it is, and I was like, I do, it's
seven thirty.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
You slept in because you never watch He's like, no,
I got up at six, but I didn't know what
time it was. And I was like, if only you
had an Alexa in your room that you could ask anyway.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
So he was in a bad mood, and like I
was so frustrated in the car on the way to
school that I was just like, Alex, I just I
don't know what to do, Like you're just being like
so extra right now, and like I guess my voice
was like sounded like I was crying.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
I swear to God. I wasn't. I was just exacerbated.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
And he was like, stop being such a cry baby mommy.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
And I was like, you know what, I'm putting the
radio on. I'm gonna ignore you, and do you know
what that sass is?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
So I know, I was like, do you know what
fucking and you know what fucking song started playing on
the radio when we turned on.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
It was the Beatles, Cry Baby Cry, I swear to God,
and I was just like, oh my god. He was like,
see even the Beatles think you're cry.
Speaker 7 (05:57):
Baby, Like, oh my god, no, yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Not as cool as it's number four hundred. The universe
was like stop it anyway, how are you guys, Amanda?
You did not have a great week as Oh my.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
God, I feel like I'm slowly but surely coming back
to life. I had the flu. Yes, the flu is
still going around at the end of May. As I've
been right. The entire joke I've been making all week
is I'm late to trends.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Like what trends, I mean the flu primarily.
Speaker 7 (06:45):
Most people usually have had it by the end of spring.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Oh that's very yeah true.
Speaker 7 (06:52):
Now, Thursday evening I started feeling a little like scritchy
scratch in the back of a throat. And then Friday
I woke up and I was like, Nope, not gonna today.
Stayed in bed all day. Same thing Saturday, try, which
is like such a bummer because like we had like
(07:13):
a really great weekend planned. It was like we were
going to do some petitioning for like a parents group
that we're involved in, and I was supposed to drive
upstate to like spend an overnight with some of my
old college friends and like see their how they're like
(07:34):
new house that they built like three years ago. And
I was just betting up there to see it, and
like I had this whole great weekend plans that I
was like really looking forward to, and it was just
like my body was like no, just no. So, yeah,
the flue sucks. I had never had it before. I've
never been so sick in my life.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Oh my god.
Speaker 7 (07:55):
Yeah, I like stupidly, I'm just spending like two full
days and bed. It was like Daniel and Eden were
at the playground and yeah, it was like they didn't
have any sunscreen. I was like, oh, yeah, I think
I can walk up and get bring you the sunscreen.
And then it's like I foud like a panic attack
because I got there and I realized I couldn't get home,
(08:16):
Like I was like too thick to walk back home.
Oh no, thankfully, Like you know, Daniel had the car,
oh because Eden also had a dentist appointment that day,
Like we just had all this stuff. I broke. Yeah,
but he then drove me to Urgent Care, which is
(08:36):
where they confirmed the flu.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
And then I'm so sorry.
Speaker 7 (08:40):
Yeah, I started feeling a lot better, and then I
had like terrible insomnia from the Tamia flu, which is
apparently a side effect.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Oh shit, wait, yeah what I had.
Speaker 7 (08:53):
Like so because by the time I got back from
urgent care like got my prescription, like I took my
first tama flu like later in the day on Saturday Sunday,
I was feeling great. But then like Sunday night, I
like could not sleep, like maybe slept two hours, Like
I was up literally all night. Like I like got
(09:13):
up and I like, you know, I read and then
I like turned my leg off again, and then I
was like nope, okay, I got up and I like
sat in the living room and like read in the
living room like just could not Oh my god. And
then I finally like at four am, like googles that's
like is it something out side effect? Turns out it is,
Oh wow. So then I like took a day off
(09:34):
from the MENS that I could like reset and like
start taking it in the morning, which did help ultimately,
but just yeah, like it's it's been wrong. It's been rough.
I've just been like it was zorry.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Oh my god.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
Yeah, So it's been it's been kind of a crappy
week for your girl.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Are you're feeling better now obviously?
Speaker 7 (09:56):
Yeah, yeah, I feel better. I'm just like very tired.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
And yeah, you know, yeah, yeah, I remember when Jay
had the flu when Zach was like six months old,
and just yeah, he had the same thing. He was
like tired for like you know, two weeks after.
Speaker 7 (10:15):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
But he also and this happens to him every time
he gets really sick because it happened when he had pneumonia,
and he happened when he had COVID, and like he
gets really like he goes through the sick and like
gets sick, and then he'll.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Feel better for like a few hours, and then all
of a sudden, he'll just like throw up out of
nowhere and then he's like better.
Speaker 8 (10:37):
It's like his body does this thing where like you know,
some people poop it out, he throws Steve vomits it
out like he gets It's like it's like that last
like your body getting rid of everything.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
And I know I'm not sharing anything that he hasn't
shared or I haven't talked about a podcast before or
any podcasts before, but like, yeah, it's just weird, like
how to like your body just expels the final bits
of being sick, but then you're tired for like weeks after.
Speaker 7 (11:03):
Yeah, yeah, thanks, thankfully. No, I was very nauseous, but no,
no vomiting.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
That's good, that's really good. Actually, you have the aches
and pains and all that though.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
Yeah, yeah, just aches and pains, just like I'm so sorry,
couldn't move, had no appetite, Like.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Yeah, well, you know, on the bright side, they're not
doing flu shots or COVID shots next year, so we.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
All might feel how you're feeling.
Speaker 7 (11:32):
We can just do it all again next year, but worse,
but worse because everybody's gonna be at it.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
I'm really sorry, but I'm glad that you're at least
feeling sit up a little better.
Speaker 7 (11:43):
Yeah, thanks, thanks. Yeah, it's been a long week. I'm
gonna treat myself to a pedicure tomorrow. Oh please do
I'm working a half day and I'm gonna go.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Wonder they really massage your feet and your calves just mine?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah, do that extra fifteen dollars upgrade. You'd previously be like,
why do I need this?
Speaker 7 (12:03):
You need that? I do I do? With these feet?
They're pretty gross, they're pretty grass Normally I can handle
like my own gross feet, but even I'm like, girl,
I don't think that skinna should look like that.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Yeah, I have an extra foot peel that I keep
meaning to do because now it's like fliplop season in
the South.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
My dad said, was really cold up by you guys today.
Speaker 7 (12:28):
Yeah, today was pretty Yeah, also pretty rough, and like
affecting my mood is the fact that it's also just
been like February today.

Yeah, that's what he's he said, like, he was like,
it's May.
Speaker 2 (12:38):

for like a month.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yeah, getting a lot of headaches at night, which I
know is probably he does drink a lot of water
during the day because I send him with a water
bottle and he tells me he refills it. I don't
think there's any reason why he would, you know, not
be truthful about that. But he he's always been more
sensitive to like that. We're not like in full. Pollen
(13:39):
season's over.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Shanny can attest to pollen season in the South and
how much it sucks.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Yes, but there are four there are four allergy seasons
in North Carolina, so you're not out of the woods
yet or ever.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
We had some excitement yesterday. Yesterday was a wild day.
So Zachary goes downstairs in the morning to go get something.
Vivian follows him. Now, Vivian went down first. Actually he
goes down right after her.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
He comes up.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I'm like, Zachary, he left those lights on downstairs. I
need you go turn them off. He's sitting there complaining,
like I turn them off by it, gets to the stairs,
stops dead in his tracks and goes. Vivian caught a mouse,
so we rewatched the tape. She went down at exactly eight.
(14:34):
Zachary went down at like eight oh one, like a
minute later, she came up, you know, two minutes after him,
enough time for me to notice the lights are on.
She had the mouth fully in her mouse and mouse
bully in her mouth.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
The mouth, yeah, just with the tail and the legs
stick little feet sticking out.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Super gross.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
I'm like, what like, So I go over and I'm like,
oh my god, Jay is in fucking London right now.
Last time we had a.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Comprehend in the garage when he was in California for work.
So like, all these fun things happen when he's not
here and I and I mean fun because everybody's yelling
like not at Vivian.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
But they're like, oh my god, you got it.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
It startles her so much as she opens her mouth
and the injured mouse runs away.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Oh no, no, no, no, it.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
All can go down exactly as you're imagining. So Zachary
jumps on my kitchen table. I mean, this fucking kid
is standing on my kitchen table and it is not
a stand on table, like you know. I'm like, he's
up there, foot flipping out. Alex is still just in
his boxers because he was in the middle of getting
dressed when this happened, and he runs out of his room,
(15:44):
like Vivian caught a mouse and he's like, oh my god, it's.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
So cheat cheating goodness can Yeah, and I was like
keeping house. Yeah, She's like, oh oh look it's bleeding.
Oh now it's under Zachary's book but he's following it
around and like where.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
I'm like, I can't look at this, Like I can't
look until it's dead. I don't want to see this
mouse running around.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Zachary's up there. I'm not free to the mouse. I
just don't want to see it.
Speaker 7 (16:14):
Yeah, so, oh, you.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Know, Zachary. She is under Zachary's book bag. Zachary's like,
I can't tag my book back to school. Like we
rewatched this scene like on the camera and like it
is a fucking chaotic movie scene.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
I'm standing there in my bathrobe and I'm like this,
I had Jay on FaceTime.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I much she got on the house. What did we do?
He's like just listening. He says nothing. He's like what
he says nothing? He listening the whole thing. Then we have,
you know, Zach's screaming on the table.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Alex Is like, oh my god, Oh it's he's calling
the play by play out.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Oh it ran under the couch and then it doesn't
come out from under the couch. Vivian's still staring at
the couch, so I know it's still there.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
And to make matters worse of all, the fucking mouse
is squealing, squeaking, squealing, making noises and I'm like ugh.
So then everything gets quiet, the mouse stops making noises.
Alex and Dakri eventually calm down, and I'm like.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Okay, we gotta go to school.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
If the mouse comes back out, Vivian will catch it,
and she'll do a lot better job catching it while
we're not home because she doesn't have us.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Yeah, so we're gonna go.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
So we go to school, come back, Vivian's still sitting
there at the couch.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
I'm like, all right, the mouse hasn't come out.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
So Jay is like, you need to flip the couches over,
and I'm like, do I really have to?
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Like I don't want to.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
He's like, you need to flip the couches over because
we can't have a dead mouse under the couch. And
also like there's a event there, and like you can't
have the mouse in the event too dead, Like you
gotta figure out what's going on.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
I was like, I really don't want to. I was like, fine,
So I call my dad. I'm like, Daddy, I'm forty
one years old.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Daddy, I have to flip the couch over to find
the dead mouse.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I don't want to. Can you just stay on the
phone with me?
Speaker 3 (18:24):
And he was like.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Sure, so, and you have to.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
And it's it's at the side of the couch that's
against the piano. They have to take my couch like
unhook it in part. So I had to take like
the chase lounge side first. I moved that over and
I didn't expect to find it anywhere but that one side,
because as the cat hadn't move from that area. Yeah,
so like I move that, I was like, there's nothing here.
I flipped the other one over.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
It's not there, and then I can't be the one
that The long.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
One was too heavy for me, so I just kind
of scooched it on back and was like, Okay, there's
nothing under here. And my dad was like, but you
really probably do need to flip the couch to make
sure that it's not like hiding on the underside.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
And I was like fine. So it took me.
Speaker 7 (19:15):
It took me from it, like we're going from the couch.
Speaker 9 (19:20):
Well, it took me a few minutes, but I finally
flipped it and I discover and I have a picture
I'll send you after I discover there is a hole
in the bottom of the upholstery of the couch that
was not previously there.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
We actually we were pretty good about vacuuming under the couch.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
And I'm like, fuck I was, and like I said,
I say this, I was like, fuck, Dad, there is
a hole in the bottom of my couch.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
I didn't I don't remember the hole being there last time.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
It was probably like a month ago, the last time
we flipped it over and like vacuumed underneath it.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
The cat gets her stuff like under there pretty frequently, so.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I would say like once every like six weeks, we
like flip it in vacuum.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Probably should do it more, but like it's a it's
a pain in the ass.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
So but it was like a month ago, and I
don't remember seeing that hole there, but I took a
picture and then I.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
See like indentation and that bucking mouse runs.
Speaker 10 (20:18):
Out a hole and runs towards the pile, the shoe
pile by my door, and it's then hiding there. Now,
I had I thought there was going to be a
dead mouse, so I had moved Vivian into my bedroom
with a door closed because I her to pick up
a dead mouse and bring it under my bed like
she usually likes to do.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
So I'm like fuck.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
So I put my phone down and I'm like, Mom, Dad,
you need to because by that point my mom is
like what's going on? They're on face time now, and
I'm like, watch this shoe pile.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
The mouse is in the shoe pile.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
So I get the cat out and I'm like I
put her there and she's pissed because she didn't want
to be in the bedrooms.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
She's it's me. So I'm like, Vivian, mouse, get the mouse, FIBs,
Go get the mouse, Come on, FIBs. And she just
she's like no, and she like walks.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Home sometimes and I'm like yeah, exactly, and I'm like
i'll give you chicken.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
I'll give you chicken if you get the mouse.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
And she hears the word chicken and she goes and
sits by the fucking fridge and.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
I was like, no, no, you can't sit by the
fridge to get the mouse. The mouse is by the door.
So then I like lure her over.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
I have her tissory that I cut, I like broke pieces,
and I learn her over.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
I learned her over, and I dropped one in like
the edge of the shoe pile, and I was like,
get the chicken and then get the mouse. She gets
the chicken and she literally runs off with.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
The chicken disappears like all right, I am on my
own with his mouth. My parents are washing this whole
thing on FaceTime because I have the phone propped, and
I was like, okay, fine, Like, let me get a
broom and start picking up shoes with the broom.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
So I'm picking up the shoes. The rothies go on
the pile inside the house.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Sneakers just in case I missed it because I saw
it was small. Sneakers went outside the door, just in case.
So like I'm breaking them all up.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
I'm down to the last three shoes. Finally, Vivian Vivian
at one point.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
And I swear on my life this happened. She comes
over at one point one I'm picking up all the
shoes and shaking them out, and she the couch is
flipped over, so like the top of the couch is
on the ground.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
She starts just.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Lounging there and watching me, like full on lounging. My
mom was like laughing so hard. She was like, my
parents are not cat people. They're like, oh my god,
I love this cat.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
This is so funny. I was like, she's supposed to
be getting the mouse. I get down to the last
three shoes.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
The mouse scurries, scurries out, tries to climb up the wall,
but it's still kind of injured.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Falls, But I'm like, Okay, the mouse is here. The
mouse is alive. My parents, it happens so fast that.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
They didn't see it because they didn't quite know where
to look, even though like they had a prime view
of it.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
So I was like, no, the mouse is here.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
So finally I get rid of all the shoes and
I find it's because I have these shoe trays like
that the shoes go in against.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
The thing, and it was hiding like under the lip
of one.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
So finally like I see it and I go and
I'm like I trap it against the wall and the
shoe tray and I'm like.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Vivian Dan, they ain't come here, now, come finish the job.
And she's like tail wag doo doo doot. It just
sits there and I'm like, come finish the job.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
So finally she does her little stalker thing. She goes
up to it and starts playing dead. This went on
for forty five minutes, this whole, this whole ortal with
the flipping the couch. So it starts playing dead and
she's like she's pawing at it, and it's it's every
so often it's pulling back at her and squeaking like.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
And she's just like, you're boring. So she walks so
and then it would play dead again. So like she
she was getting confused. I think she was like, okay,
just move, but now it's like limp. So at one
point she goes.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Back to her little perch, re hides, and then re
tries to attack it, and it's still like, you know,
like what I like this in front?
Speaker 1 (24:33):
It was so I was just like, oh my god,
I don't know what to do. So at this point,
I have the broom, I have the dust pan.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
I'm like, okay, maybe I can get it on the
dust pan and throw it outside, Like I just.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
I can't kill it. I cannot kill it, like I
get it. It's injured, but like I can't kill it.
So this goes on.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Vivian finally gets so fucking bored with this because it's
not playing with her and she wants to play with her,
you know, with the mouse, Like she doesn't just want
to take a dead mouse. So she just walks away
and is like, I'm done with you. So then at
that point, I'm like I need to work, Like I
can't just sit here and like hold like still with
all my tensing muscles like this thing against the wall because.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
I was afraid to like let go because I thought
it would run away again and Vivian was over it.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
So finally, like I get it trapped again with a
dustpan and I'm like, okay, just like squeeze its head,
like just you know, get the neck, like do it.
And I start to do that and it starts squeaking,
like and I start crying.
Speaker 7 (25:36):
Why do you just open the door and throw it outside?
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Because it wasn't close because I didn't want to well,
I didn't want to risk because I didn't know how
like injured it was or wasn't. I didn't want to
risk it running away again. And then like starting this
whole process because like I thought that maybe I could,
but also I didn't know if I could.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
So I'm like, okay, I'm killing it. My parents are
still on FaceTime, mind you, and then I just start crying.
I was like, I can't kill it. Please something to
kill it. I doesn't want to kill it.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
So I ended up calling my neighbor. Her husband comes
over and he's like, if we can rescue it, we'll
put it outside. And I was like awesome, and then
he was like, no, it it because it did start
to run away, but he was able to catch it
on the dust pan.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
He's like, it is injured. I'm going to take it
outside and I was like okay, and then he he
did finish the job, but like it was.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
I was so tense after that that I felt like
I had run like a ten mile race, Like I
was physically exhausted. I was like I kind of want
to just lay down and cry because I just I
didn't want the mouse to die. But like, oh, it
was awful.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
No, but it's like worse if it's just going to.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Suffer exactly, And he said exactly so, and just.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
Die anyway, but like suffer for several hours exactly.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
So he was like you know. I was like, okay,
but then so I don't know if I told you guys,
but black.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
When we were in New York for Evangelian's confirmation on
May fifth, Communion. On May fifth, zach we find out
that the school concert, the spring concert, was just choir
club only. And I'm on the PTA and I was
in New York. But I sent a series of texts
and I was like, I would like you all to
know that I am very I'm always nice.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
I was like, I am very upset about this. This
is our last chance.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
For fifth graders to have a concert. The calendar has
said spring concert all year. It was never indicated that
it was just going to be the choir club. So
I'm very disappointed, but I okay. Well, last Thursday they
sent in a message saying that they were having an
art explosion show where they were going to have children's
(27:48):
all the students created a special artwork that would be
displayed throughout and you could go to the chorus concert
and do that. And I'm like, ugh, I don't want
to go just to watch the suit of artwork. Yesterday
at three ten, because I had asked Zachary several times,
I was like did you audition for the choir?
Speaker 1 (28:07):
He was like no.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
I was like, and then after I made a fuss
with the PTA, the the UH music teacher was like,
you know it was auditioned, but like, anybody can still
do the concert if they want to, just have him
come down. And he was like, I don't want to
do it.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
So I get this.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Text yesterday at three thirty five, so you know, the
spring concert.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
I'm actually in it, and I'm staying after school tomorrow
and it starts at six surprise.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
And the funny thing is is my parents were going
to come for the concert.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
They decided back on May fifth that they weren't going to.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
We talked about it in the car earlier this week
with my parents and Zach was like, can you come
anyway and see my artwork? And my mom was like no,
we'll just take pictures. So, like, you know, this was
a whole thing where he was very convinced he wasn't
in it. And I was like since when He's like, uh,
since since like ten minutes or.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Ago or so. I was like, you're singing in it?
He's like, I'm doing I'm doing that and the ukulele.
Can you please invite Grammy and Grampy talk later and
I'm like, what, are you sure you're in it. He's like, yes, Sam,
and it just stopped. I was like, oh my god,
I am so exhausted physically from this stupid fucking mouse encounter,
(29:28):
and now I need to tell Grandma and Grandpa if
they're gonna miss the concert after all. Like, okay, so no,
my parent whatever. My parents ended up coming down.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
They were thinking about it, but they would have to
get up at like three in the morning to leave
to get here, and they were you know, so they
talked to him and I sent them videos, but I
was just like, he apologized profusely, was like, how did
you not know, like you're in the ukulele club. Also,
when did you join the ukulele club? Because he is
not once brought his ukulele to school.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
He's like, yeah, you know what kept forgetting about rehearsals And.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
I'm like what, Like, yeah, they would tell chorus club
when to go, but they never told ukulele club when
to go.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
And I was like, oh my god. He's like, but
don't worry. The other kids are playing a lot of chords.
I just have to play the C chord over and
over again. Okay, He's like, and you know, we're also
singing a song. I was like, oh okay, so get there.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
You know, Jack and Cindy, you were like, so it was
all last minute, like the survivor thing was supposed to
start a half hour before it did and everything was
supposed to go smoothly. So you know, Jack and Cindy
show up when we find out that the ukulele club
and the fifth grade chorus, which they had to have
added all this.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Stuff like last minute because the fifth grade chorus sang
the song that they were practicing.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
For their moving up ceremony which is a month from now.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
And I have video.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Zachary knew like two shit lyrics of that song, but
you could tell he was like barely.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Singing and he is front and center.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Usually he's in the bag and his front of the
center in his bright green because they said to wear
the school shirts.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
It was really funny, but they did the you can
count on Me like one two three, the Brutomar song
m and I Can count on You like four three
two dude. Anyway, they were singing that but whatever, But
(31:32):
it was funny because I was.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
There and I was I saw another mom that of
Zach's friends that I know, and I.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Was like, hey, we only found out about this yesterday.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
She goes, oh, you know when I found out about
this when the school called to ask if my son
could stay for their dress rehearsal from five.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
And I was like, I guess they sent a letter home.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
A week ago, like right right around the time they
say the email home.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
And I don't know if I just.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Missed it, like because they send a lot of stuff
home at once, and like I flipped through and if
it's like tests and stuff, I'm not always or like
you know, like math homework, I'm not always like whatever
with it. I guess it's to be better about it
because I just totally missed it. But yeah, I guess
I'm not the only one. So yeah, really funny anyway.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
So that that was that, and then today was much
much more back to normal. Anyway.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Sorry, I took up a lot of time. I can
I either do a thing or we can just move
on to feedback.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
It's it's up to you guys.
Speaker 7 (32:40):
Whatever's fine.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Yeah, people are sharing. People over thirty five are sharing
the things they missed that younger generations may never experience.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
That real quick. Those are all things.
Speaker 7 (32:55):
Life with the Internet.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
And this is from BuzzFeed.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
I think they compiled it from ask Reddit, but anyway,
the first one is toy stores. Nothing beats the aisles
and aisles of stuff at toys r us slamming the
phone down to end a phone call.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
I was pretty satisfying about phone calls.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Finding a magazine with something you love on it, a
band or an actor or whatever. Now, if you love something,
you can immediately consume every piece of media on that thing,
which is also cool.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
But I'll miss.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Turning the corner at the grocery store and seeing that
Spin is doing an all Punk issue or a Rolling
Stone issue after Hunter Thompson.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Died and being like fuck yes. Also, the smell the
ink plus the paper and the perfume samples incredible. I
forgot all about perfume samples.
Speaker 7 (33:45):
Yeah, I can smell it right now.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Yeah. Did anybody just get a whiff of the perfume
samples like in their mind? Certain times I do.
Speaker 7 (33:54):
I didn't this time, but there are definitely times just
like walking around you just sort of like get a
smell of like gap dream or something.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Yes or any of the others. Yeah, Oh my God,
what's next? Life without social media?
Speaker 2 (34:16):
You know, I will say, as much as I do
like social media past the time, I would read so
many more books and write so many more books.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
In social media didn't exist, I.
Speaker 7 (34:30):
Would just do I would have many more hoppies and
probably feel much more fulfilled.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
Yes, this's like kind of that whole thing where you're like, wow,
how did they do the Sistine Chapel And then it's like, oh, yeah,
they didn't have anything else to do.
Speaker 7 (34:45):
That's how I feel like easily fixable. I feel like
this is something I talk about a lot that like
I just need to do, like a phone cleanse. Yeah,
it's like if you just break the habit, then it's
not so bad.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
I go through periods where I'm definitely not on my
phone as much, but then you know, like you go
through periods where it's like NonStop life without tech in everything,
whole summers with this you the backyard and alternating different
between friends and bicycles, Oh summers summers.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
So that feeling of not being watched class recorded.
Speaker 7 (35:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Yeah, Actually, because there was a point today at the
concert everybody of their phones out and I was just like,
I wonder how many people's like Instagram lives I'm appearing
in right now, like cheering for my kid. H and
then like, you know, if something happens to me on
the way out of here, will this be the last
moments somebody has captured me on social media?
Speaker 1 (35:42):
I frequently think about that.
Speaker 7 (35:44):
Jeez.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
I know.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
It is Internet before the corporate world got hold of it,
It was truly the Wild West era. The old Internet
was just more fun. There was this sense of discovery
when you found a niche website or cammunity, like it
was something unique and special, and there were special forums
of expression out there. Now it's all TikTok and YouTube,
and YouTube isn't as good as it used to be.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
I actually they were talking about this on.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Maybe it was Es, maybe it was Redders whatever, but
like it was overwhelmingly the people were like, Oh, I
think the question was what do you miss about the
Internet before it like became now and everybody was like
internet forums because you were there in your niche community
and you were safe because everybody else because the world
hadn't gone it had been crazy with like trolls and
(36:35):
it was just people talking about things that they liked.
Speaker 7 (36:39):
Yeah. I just feel like like early Internet video was
like more creative, it was more visually interesting. Like I
feel like TikTok has made video like the lowest common
denominator now, h yeah, like it's just not as visually imaginative.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
Yeah, you're right. Actually I never even stopped to think
about that.
Speaker 7 (37:04):
Yeah. Yeah, Like I think about the sort of viral
videos that like we were watching or like those like
thirty second reenactments by movie reenactments by bunnies.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
Yes, like you wouldn't see that ship on YouTube now
even like so funny, that's true because if you think
about what the first.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
Like real viral video.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Was the Charlie bit my finger one right, and like
that's the other day.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
And one person got it. I was like, oh, were like.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
This, Uh, Jack references that all the time.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
He loves the He's probably still watching that video and
keeping those people like in royalties, like.
Speaker 7 (37:52):
That End of the World video just circulated for me. Yeah,
so I like shared it. Oh my god, I loved it.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Yeah so good, so good, so funny.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
I mean I barely watch things if it's long, you know,
it's longer than like thirty seconds, I sometimes won't even
watch it.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
I'm like, yeah, I don't have the time listening to
want them.
Speaker 7 (38:23):
I want them to get that like algorithm.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Yeah, okay, the next one is listening to whole albums,
not just singles on an app.
Speaker 7 (38:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Yeah, a Blockbuster.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
I remember going and putting in my pizza order, then
going next door to Blockbuster, picking up movies and games.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Then going to get my pizza, heading home and joining
the evening. It was an event and experience.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
We see the same thing actually where Blockbusters would be
next to, like a pizza place or something, or a subway,
Chinese takeout.
Speaker 1 (38:58):
Or Chinese take out.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
Yeah, the arcade putting two quarters on the glass indicating
you've got next to watching this.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
One.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Dude beat Mortal Kombat too on just two quarters, which, yes,
that is very stranger things.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
Speaking speaking of things, there's just a couple left.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
This person said things built to last more than that,
things were built to be fixed. We joked so much
about how gen Z doesn't know how to fix anything,
but they've literally never owned anything they could fix themselves.
Literally every single thing is use and throw. How they
supposed to learn. I remember the nineties taking my boombox apart,
finding out that a few cogs had chipped, had chipped teeth,
(39:39):
runing my bike to the neighborhood store, finding the right
cog in the giant box of dogs, and then fixing
the boom box.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
It was a fun summer afternoon.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
I'm pretty good at fixing stuff, but I can't do
anything of my phone breaks now or my car. You
need specialized tools for fucking oil change.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
That is true though, because.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
I had fixed my the sliding things from my dishwasher
a few months ago, and one of the one that
I fixed, like is already broken again.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
And then and it's just like.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Like it's kind of frustrating, and like these things are
I'm just gonna keep building and replacing this until like
it's time to buy a new dishwasher, which I don't
want to do so, but I'll say Zach has this
keyboard that he was using at school and he lost
the chip that connects the bluetooth tooth and he it
was like, uh.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
Oh, this is broken, but it was not broken, but whatever.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
But the other night he actually sat there and he
took the entire thing apart and then figured out how
the motherboard works and like spent the whole evening doing that.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
Yeah, yeah, I thought that was really cool.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
Now, of course he can't fix it because it still
works on the Bluetooth, but like he taught himself like
how everything is connected and works and then like put
it back together.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
So it was really.
Speaker 7 (41:00):
Breast that that's really cool.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
Nice when we didn't have to pay an exorbitant amount
of money for concert tickets. Oh yeah, second to last
one being able to be unreachable. It's hard to really
get alone time or for time to relax when you
always have a phone on you and can always be reached.
Speaker 7 (41:21):
Yeah. Yeah, and even just the feeling that you have
to have your phone on you, Like I'm just like
at home and like if my phone's in the other room,
it's like no, no, I intentionally put it there, like
I need some space, and it's like, oh but what
if someone needs me? What if I mit something? It's like, well,
I also.
Speaker 2 (41:40):
Like it kept it later, It's fine, and that that's
totally like I totally agree with that, but like there's
also that like need to feel like you have to
have your phone with you when you leave the house,
especially as a woman, because you might need it for
an emergency.
Speaker 7 (41:54):
Yeah, every once in a while forget to bring my keys,
So if I didn't have my phone and I didn't
have my keys, then I would be royally stuck.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
Yeah, anyway, the last one's not that great, so we're
gonna end with that.
Speaker 1 (42:12):
All right, Fine, the excitement of your new favorite song
playing on the radio or on MTV. Yes, yeah, yeah,
all right, that was pretty much all right, all right, alright,
I was being a snob anyway.
Speaker 2 (42:28):
All right, let's take it a commercial break. Don't think
we have too much feedback, so we should be able
to get through the rest of the show pretty quickly.
Speaker 1 (42:35):
Here, here we go. All right, we are back.

Speaker 3 (44:30):
Slutting it up for voicemail.
Speaker 1 (44:33):
Which you know in Trump's America. Here I can say
that again, all right.
Speaker 2 (44:43):
In the Facy Bag, Matt says, I'm a few chapters
into Woodworking by Emily Saint James. It's about a trans
woman in her mid thirties who gets help about her
transit trans transition from the only other trans person she
knows in her vigor conservative South Dakota town, one of
her student and liking it so far. Probably in the
broadcast book club. I'm assuming it's it's a true story.
Speaker 1 (45:07):
It's that a biography. Oh maybe not.
Speaker 7 (45:09):
Actually, I've definitely heard of this book. I feel like
maybe it was in my real simple they give like
book reviews, because that's right, Okay, it's interesting magazine, like
a physical magazine subscription.
Speaker 1 (45:22):
Do you wait, do you get the smelly samples?
Speaker 6 (45:28):
No, there's there's no magazine, just book reviews and recipes
and what to do with recycled the sponges.
Speaker 1 (45:45):
Yes, okay, it looks like it is a fiction book. Cool. Nice,
It's in best Literature and Fiction category.
Speaker 7 (45:54):
Cool.
Speaker 2 (45:54):
Add it to the Libby list, it says customers who
bought this book also about items by Lea Lippman.
Speaker 1 (46:07):
Also doesn't surprise me, you know Lib's book. Cool. Let's
see the that's it actually cool. We're really powered through.
Speaker 2 (46:25):
We're really powered through here, all right, let me give
you each one question about me, separate questions.
Speaker 1 (46:30):
So each of you pick one question one number.
Speaker 7 (46:34):
I don't know how many, three thousand.
Speaker 2 (46:36):
I'm gonna give it to you, tailored on you, Amanda.
Speaker 1 (46:40):
What three songs will always be found? That's half of
your playlist.
Speaker 7 (46:44):
Oh gosh, I don't know. They change all the time
right now. It's like in Conto Frozen two and Solid.
We've been really like into the good movie.
Speaker 1 (46:56):
Oh my god, we went there, goofy movie Beans too.
That song is so much fun.
Speaker 7 (47:00):
It's so good. It's so good. Oh and Moana, we've
been doing a lot of of Maui song which Eden
calls Mauie.
Speaker 1 (47:10):
Mallie and you can't correct her.
Speaker 7 (47:14):
You can't correct her, it's missus.
Speaker 1 (47:16):
Yeah, what's uh? What's the one that I like for Mowana?
Speaker 6 (47:20):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (47:20):
An, you know how far I'll go.
Speaker 7 (47:24):
Like eighteen times in one song. They're like, oh my.
Speaker 2 (47:26):
God, Okay, it's so funny that you mentioned the modulates
because I was just about to say that. So j
watch a YouTube video and it's like, how you know,
like the it was like the twenty Telltale Signs of
a Linen Manuel Miranda composed composed song.
Speaker 7 (47:42):
Modulate exactly that was modulates like five times, like, oh
my god, pick a key it's taking it.
Speaker 1 (47:50):
But that was that was the like number one thing.
Speaker 3 (47:54):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (47:55):
Okay, but like for real, I know, I know you
got I know you got some songbird on there.
Speaker 7 (48:00):
Probably, I know you got.
Speaker 1 (48:01):
Some incubus on there.
Speaker 7 (48:03):
Not so much these days, okay, not so much. What
am I listening to these days? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (48:10):
It's a hard question.
Speaker 7 (48:11):
I don't like.
Speaker 1 (48:13):
Yeah, you know it's an escape from reality.
Speaker 2 (48:18):
All right.
Speaker 1 (48:19):
Do either of you believe in karma?
Speaker 7 (48:22):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (48:23):
I would like to.
Speaker 4 (48:25):
I would like to to, to be fair, like, I
think the actual like like religious conception of karma is
different than like sort of how we.
Speaker 1 (48:34):
Use Okay, let's the broad universe sense of But I love.
Speaker 3 (48:39):
To think that.
Speaker 4 (48:39):
But then it's like really terrible things happen to good
people also, so like.
Speaker 1 (48:45):
You now, okay, I would love I would love to.
Speaker 3 (48:49):
I would love to help pope for it.
Speaker 4 (48:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (48:51):
Yeah, I want it to be real, whether or not
it is. I suppose this may be a different thing,
but I want it to be real.
Speaker 3 (49:00):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (49:00):
That's kind of like the old question, like, well, if
God exists, why does he let bad things happen to
good people? Also get like super theological about it too
or whatever like philosophical and be like, well maybe it's
a previous debt from a karmic debt from another lifetime
and then they'll get to like.
Speaker 1 (49:19):
Suffer through this and you know, go on blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (49:22):
Because oh, Alice was so mad and we found out
that we kill the mouse because they really wanted to
keep it.
Speaker 1 (49:26):
And I was like, but think about this.
Speaker 2 (49:29):
The mouse is gonna get to be reincarnated as a bunny,
rabbit or a cat in their next life, so it's
gonna be better off. He was like, Okay, yeah, I guess.
Speaker 1 (49:40):
So all right, one thing, what is priceless to you?
And can't say people?
Speaker 7 (49:48):
Hmm, can't say people, yes, because.
Speaker 1 (49:52):
We all know people are assumed.
Speaker 2 (49:54):
It's assumed that edid is the most priceless thing to Amanda,
and like children the most priceless thing to me. It
has to be a physical item, a physical item or something,
I don't know, not a person.
Speaker 1 (50:08):
You could say like the forests are priceless to me.
Speaker 7 (50:11):
I don't know, Like yeah, like sort of framed the
things we've got on the walls, you know, like that
kind of stuff. I feel like it's like really valuable
to me, like those sort of like visual memories of
a life.
Speaker 2 (50:25):
So if there was one thing I could save, like
if there was ever a fire in my house, I
think it would be either my grandpa's baby blanket or
those silver rosary beads that my grandma gave me like
ten years ago, because both those things have extreme sentimental
value to me.
Speaker 7 (50:44):
Yeah. Oh, and like weirdly, I was just thinking about
this the other day. I have this copy of a
tree groves in Brooklyn that was my grandfather's that he
had with him during World War Two, and like, I
guess he would do this with books. He'd write like
where he was in the world when he finished it.
Speaker 1 (51:05):
Oh that's cool.
Speaker 7 (51:06):
Yeah, And it was just sort of like, oh yeah,
if the apocalypse apocalypse comes, I would probably grab that
book with me because it's like, you know, like it's
just a cool thing to live on.
Speaker 1 (51:17):
It's history. It's cool.
Speaker 7 (51:18):
Yeah, just this cool little moment of someone's life that
is tangible and can like live on and extend on.
Speaker 2 (51:26):
Yeah, your granpa was the one that used to work
by the International dateline, right.
Speaker 7 (51:32):
Well, he did have some saying about that that it's
like if you went over it, you got like in
the navy, you got a special name, call yourself something.
I can't remember what it is now, but okay, yeah,
he was on that side of the world during the war.
Speaker 2 (51:49):
Yeah, okay, hello, Colleen, Budding in here real quick. So
for the next twenty minutes or so, we talked about
the season forty eight finale of Survivor.
Speaker 1 (52:00):

of that, so I put it on these river jj
sfeed and I made it a patron bonus clip. Thank
you to the patrons. We appreciate. It was always but
all right, here we come back in in the mass
what she says. Here we go, all right, god, we
gotta do the mass what she said, and then we
gotta go Oh my god.
Speaker 7 (52:22):
I forgot we still had to do that.
Speaker 1 (52:23):
I thought, all right, oh yeah, let's do that, and
then we're gonna go. Here we go, Oh.
Speaker 3 (52:30):
My god, all right. I filmed them and almost sent
it to you.
Speaker 7 (52:36):
When I put it in, he was like, you don't
want it to blow up like the other one.
Speaker 1 (52:43):
And then he's like, uh, she.
Speaker 3 (52:49):
Came back up and I hear slip slip, slope.
Speaker 7 (52:54):
We're gonna keep this in as long as we're gonna
keep this in.
Speaker 1 (52:59):
No, I don't have to decide which one to pick.
I can pick them all. You gotta pick them all.
Speaker 3 (53:07):
I'm honestly annoyed. I've lived this long without one.
Speaker 7 (53:11):
Two is enough for me.
Speaker 1 (53:14):
We'll do whatever it takes.
Speaker 4 (53:17):
We pause for about five seconds and then we start again.
Speaker 7 (53:20):
How it's four hundred possible? This is huge.
Speaker 1 (53:26):
I don't know if he's still gonna be doing this
in twenty years.
Speaker 3 (53:32):
It's not gonna be real quick. It's me, but I'm
gonna try.
Speaker 7 (53:37):
We've done more than four hundred.
Speaker 1 (53:40):
We did a whole fucking thing on it.
Speaker 3 (53:43):
This is very wet and very difficult to open.
Speaker 5 (53:51):
Oh my god, Oh good crop heay, real quick, I
gotta make my joke one more time so I can
make it an episode title, so I can get redemption
for not being able.
Speaker 1 (54:04):
To do that on Survivor j JC.

But going back to Survivor real quick, you might say
that David thought Joe was his brother from an utter mother.
