SPEAKER_01 0:21

Welcome to the pod. What's up, everybody? This is Christy. Hi, Christy. I'm Ashley. Hi, Ash. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you too. Do we know each other? No. I just wandered into your house. Oh gosh. It's crazy. I was looking for Bigfoot. Um looking for Bigfoot.

SPEAKER_00 0:38

Looking for messing with it. He might be here. Maybe maybe he's in the shower.

SPEAKER_01 0:45

Yeah. Got it. Got it. Um, how you doing? Good. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. It just feels like uh you and I had this conversation this week of like we talk uh people talk about Maycember being like, you know, we're wrapping up the like the school year for the children, and so it feels like a December month, but they call it Maycember. And I said, it actually feels like Aprcender. Aprender. Because April is also quite a bit chaotic.

SPEAKER_00 1:16

I feel like since mid-March I've just been holding on to my butt, really. Just chasing my tell and trying to live, trying to survive.

SPEAKER_01 1:26

I keep saying my vibe is off. Yeah. And I need to stop saying that, but I really feel like it is. It's the best way to describe it. Um do you think it's just because we've had like such a weird winter?

SPEAKER_00 1:37

Like we didn't get our like we didn't get our normal seasonal depression on on schedule. So now we're just like microdosing it for the whole spring time.

SPEAKER_01 1:49

I don't know, maybe is it the our seasonal depression was wasn't good this year or something? That's really annoying to me. Maybe. I don't know. I don't know. I think I need a hard reset. I need to be unplugged and back in. Yeah. And I might do that. I might, I I really might like unplug. Do it. Not from this pod, but from everything else. Everything else. Yeah. So if I don't respond to you about things, that might be it, because I'm unplugged.

SPEAKER_00 2:15

It's fine. Don't talk to me. I'll just keep bugging you. Just kidding. But like I think the fall starts to spring have really messed with us too. Because that's we've done like really nice weather where we've been able to do like yard work and then blizzard and then nice weather and then blizzard. Like yeah.

SPEAKER_01 2:33

It's a lot of it's a lot of whiplash.

SPEAKER_00 2:34

It's a lot of whiplash and also just general emotional whiplash. Yeah, and we just are people who generally care about climate and climate change, and that can also just reinforce our anxieties about the future when things are so crazy. So I'm sure it's a whole lot of everything.

SPEAKER_01 2:49

Apparently, my youngest today oh I can't remember the context, but he said to my husband, like, oh no, we're cooked. Yeah. About like the environment. And I was like, Oh, because he uh he watched some presentation or something at school or something about just how much plastic is on the world, and he's like, Yeah, we cooked.

SPEAKER_00 3:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 3:10

And my husband was like, Oh, like you're not supposed to know that.

SPEAKER_00 3:15

I don't think the kids are alright, but it's okay. We're gonna just keep plugging on.

SPEAKER_01 3:19

So, all of that to say, I'm not alright.

SPEAKER_00 3:22

Okay, you're not alright.

SPEAKER_01 3:24

And I really tried hard. I had uh a couple good ideas for episodes to write about this week, and just none of them really took off. None of them, none of them got their legs. Ashley showed up at my house today, and I had nothing prepared. Okay. Um, so in the uh couple hours that she's been here today, I put something together. It's is it about koala bears? Koalas? Yeah. What's a koala bear?

SPEAKER_00 3:52

Be so for real right now. I only know him as koalas. Okay. We just recorded the episode about Bigfoot, which hopefully you've already heard, and Christy's husband made a special guest appearance and told us that koala bears are not actually bears. They're called koalas.

SPEAKER_01 4:10

Shooketh to our course.

SPEAKER_00 4:12

Honestly, I can't stop thinking about it. I might have to do an episode about bears. Yeah. My husband has actually actually asked me once why are there like brown bears and black bears? But sometimes black bears can be brown, like and grizzly bears, but are grizzly bears brown or black? You know?

SPEAKER_01 4:32

Or and then like I just avoid all bears.

SPEAKER_00 4:35

Well, I know, but like what how why are we bad at naming things?

SPEAKER_01 4:39

You know? Lazy? Why are we lazy? Why are we lazy? I don't know. Anyways, so this episode is just gonna be Ashley and I doing the thing that we do best, which is just riffing at each other.

SPEAKER_00 4:53

Raging raging out about stuff.

SPEAKER_01 4:54

No, not even raging. We're just gonna argue. Okay, let's do it. Yeah, I'm ready. So we're gonna do this or that. This or that. I like it. Is it this or is it that? Okay. And these are just like these are just mellow, these are just chill, these are just bet Christy Christy tired.

SPEAKER_00 5:08

I'm just really ready to argue with you.

SPEAKER_01 5:10

Let's do it.

unknown 5:11

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 5:12

Christy tired. I'm tired. I'm tired, grandpa. Which I say a lot, and I get either people who totally know exactly what I'm talking about with the tired grandpa thing, or people who just stare at me like, what are you talking about?

SPEAKER_01 5:25

Oh, just walk away from those people.

SPEAKER_00 5:28

Never mind. I mean, he's like, I'm tired, grandpa, and they're like, What?

SPEAKER_01 5:32

I'm not your grandpa. What are you talking about? Okay.

SPEAKER_00 5:34

She's gone off the deep end. This girl. Hold on, we gotta really throw an MRI machine around it quick.

SPEAKER_01 5:40

Okay, this just feels better. Um, okay. So let's just start out hot. It's not hot at all. Do you like a sweet breakfast or savory breakfast? And I want our listeners to also kind of like, in your mind, weigh in. Do you want a sweet breakfast or a savory breakfast? Savory. Savory. Okay, me too. I want eggs.

SPEAKER_00 5:57

I want toast. Sourdough, toast, toast, bacon or sausage of some kind, yeah, cheese.

SPEAKER_01 6:04

I had a really delicious uh sweet breakfast the other a couple weeks ago, and um it was too much.

SPEAKER_00 6:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 6:12

It was bread pudding French toast, which I was like, ooh, that actually sounds really good. Is there any bread in this, or is it just straight sugar? And I was like, don't tell me, I don't care.

SPEAKER_00 6:23

I will say one time we went on a work retreat and I got like creme brulee French toast or something, and I still think about it to this day. Where was that? Uh when we went and stayed overnight somewhere. Oh, I don't remember that. And I was pregnant, so that's probably why I remember it because everybody else was having a good time and I was pregnant.

SPEAKER_01 6:43

You were having a different good time. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 6:49

You guys were like shot, shot, shot. And I was like, Skittle, skittle, skittle.

SPEAKER_01 6:54

We were not like shot, shot, shot. Okay. Chips or crackers? Chips. Oh, really?

SPEAKER_02 7:00

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 7:01

I feel like lately I've been more into crackers. Like a thin trisket, phenomenal.

SPEAKER_00 7:05

Triskets are basically just a wicker chair turned into cracker form. Not the thin trisket. I hate triskets. Have you had a thin trisket? Yes, you've bullied me into having a trisket before, and I'm telling you, it's basically like eating this plant thing right here.

SPEAKER_01 7:18

You look on the trisket box, it has like three ingredients. It's like water, salt, and wheat.

SPEAKER_00 7:23

And chair.

SPEAKER_01 7:23

And oil. And chair. It's disgusting. And your grandparents' wicker chairs.

SPEAKER_00 7:29

Did your grandparents have wicker chairs? Probably. My parents did. Oh. The ones with the big backs?

SPEAKER_01 7:34

Big back? Is that where kids get the big back? I'm talking like the ones that were like multicolored and they were like woven wicker.

SPEAKER_00 7:41

Oh yeah. Yeah. No, but you remember the ones And they rocked? Oh no, we didn't have those. But do you remember the ones that were like they look it's very 90s and they're like they have like the big back. They look like royal, like royalty chairs. Like that. That's wicked. I think so.

SPEAKER_01 7:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 7:58

Okay. Yeah. And they had like a black woven thing through it.

SPEAKER_01 8:01

Okay. Ice cream in a bowl, or do you just eat it straight out of the container? Depends on my mood. Oh, okay. I'm I'm in a bowl. I I bowl's fine. I'm not gonna eat the whole thing. You're not trying hard enough. But also, like if you're dipping into the container, your hand's gonna get sticky. I don't like that. Yeah, that's true. So I will say even if I'm taking the very last the bottom of the mount, I'm gonna still put it in a bowl.

SPEAKER_00 8:26

Yeah. They have those Ben and Jerry's little little guys. Oh. That I'll just eat that by myself. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 8:33

You know, that's only like literally like not the not the regular size. Well, those two. Oh. But then they are the little ones like $15 a piece? Probably. Yeah, that's why I think. In this economy? Yeah. In this economy. No, thank you.

SPEAKER_00 8:45

I'm trying really, really hard to cut my sugar again. I I'm going through the yo-yoing of life.

SPEAKER_01 8:51

It was so fun. Asha came into my office this week and was talking about decreasing sugar, and I like literally like reached into my drawer and like pulled out a handful of sugar.

SPEAKER_00 9:00

It's like, oh okay, have a good night. And then she I like I went to like pick something up off the ground and I see her turn around with a handful of like jelly beans and my favorite of all time, those Cadbury mini eggs. I was like, cool, cool.

SPEAKER_01 9:16

And I said, I'm just I'm just a baby.

SPEAKER_00 9:18

I'm just a baby. It's like four o'clock.

SPEAKER_01 9:20

I'm literally just a girl. I'm just a girl. Okay. Thin fries or thick fries. And who has the best fries?

SPEAKER_00 9:30

Ooh, that's a good one. I like a thicky if it's like if it's like made correctly. I like me a thicky thick boy. I like a thick boy. I like me a thick one. Do you remember salty?

SPEAKER_01 9:45

Okay, do you remember like a couple years ago? And not by a couple, I mean like a couple decades ago when Wendy's changed their fries. Yes.

SPEAKER_00 9:53

Okay. They went from the yellow Wendy's to this weird healthy Wendy's. Yellow Wendy's is far superior.

SPEAKER_01 9:59

Oh I should look up like new versus old Wendy's. Hold on.

SPEAKER_00 10:05

They didn't, they like put sea salt on them now instead of like the other stuff that yeah. Who has the best fries? McDonald's fries when they're hot, 10 out of 10.

SPEAKER_01 10:15

Okay, so I think Wendy's fries went from being like regular fries to like the ones with the potato skin on it, which I like a potato skin, but sometimes theirs are kind of gross. Is that right?

SPEAKER_00 10:25

Yeah, but they also changed like what they they must like fry it in a different oil or something because they're not the same. They're definitely not the same. Anyways. I have a lot of opinions about potatoes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 10:36

Lots of, lots of opinions. I just remember when that occurred, like one time I was going to Wendy's and like picking up food for me and my sister, and she was like, But tell them you want the original fries. And I was like, Oh, they do that. And she's like, Yeah. And I was like, Oh, cool, great. So I like go to the like drive-thru and I like order. And then I was like, Can I get the or she might have even said like the old fries, or she said something. And I like went to order them and they were like, um ma'am, we don't do that. And I was like, Okay. Cancel order. She just like put it in reverse. It exited out of there. And then I like got so mad my sister. I was like, they don't do the old fries. And she's like, Yeah, I thought you knew. Classic. My sister, she's funny.

SPEAKER_00 11:21

You kind of troll your little siblings.

SPEAKER_01 11:23

I mean, we were adults at the time. I know. I just remember that just being like. I was like, oh, they do the old fries again. And she's like, Yeah, they do. You just gotta order them. And I was like, oh my gosh, that's amazing. I hope she listens to this and hears that. You just has another look. You know who you are. You know why. All right. Um, crunchy versus smooth peanut butter. What do you do?

SPEAKER_00 11:44

Wait, we didn't go back on the fries. Who's the best fries?

SPEAKER_01 11:47

Oh, who I love McDonald's fries. I don't care what you say. I don't care about these videos saying that the potatoes have to sit in a factory, or not in a factory, in a warehouse for six months because it's so toxic. Hey, Hans, I'm in secret.

SPEAKER_00 12:00

In this all potatoes sit in a warehouse before they get to the grocery store. Oh, do they? Like, yeah, most of our food sits in a warehouse and before it goes to the grocery store. Like, that's why they say frozen.

SPEAKER_01 12:12

Frozen make me spiral about food right now.

SPEAKER_00 12:14

Yeah, but that's why they say frozen vegetables are actually far better because they're picked at the peak freshness and then immediately frozen.

SPEAKER_01 12:20

Oh.

SPEAKER_00 12:21

So like frozen vegetables and frozen, probably frozen french fries or if you have an air fryer. But who's who's shading you about fries? I want names and addresses because I'm gonna take some people down.

SPEAKER_01 12:32

Oh, oh no, no, no, no. Just the internet in general.

SPEAKER_00 12:35

Don't don't let those vibes bring you down. That's what it is. You don't have enough potato in your life.

SPEAKER_01 12:40

Yeah. Sneak fries. I like thin fries.

SPEAKER_00 12:43

I like thin ones when they're like cooked hot, but I also like a thicky that's like got a good seasoning on it.

SPEAKER_01 12:49

Yeah, I like thin fries or and I don't I don't feel like I've seen this lately, like, but when I was like in high school, you used to be able to go to the gas station and get potato wedges. And those are so bonus. But didn't we?

SPEAKER_00 13:01

There's some gas gas stations that still do it. There's one by my house, and there's also what's it called? Um Philips66, I think. Bring me some next time. Okay. They also do um the pizza sticks. Oh, I don't want pizza sticks.

SPEAKER_01 13:13

I just want potato wedges with sour cream.

SPEAKER_00 13:16

Um, you know who else does that is Harman's and Kent's. They do the potato wedges.

SPEAKER_01 13:21

Oh.

SPEAKER_00 13:24

You gotta be a potato connoisseur like me.

SPEAKER_01 13:26

Yeah, I didn't I didn't realize I didn't read that on your resume.

SPEAKER_00 13:29

Yeah, it's on my resume.

SPEAKER_01 13:30

Okay, well now I know.

SPEAKER_00 13:31

Right under bitch.

SPEAKER_01 13:34

She a bitch. But also something about some potatoes. All right. Crunchy versus smooth peanut butter.

SPEAKER_00 13:42

Smooth.

SPEAKER_01 13:43

I like smooth too. Yeah.

unknown 13:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 13:45

But I don't mind a crunchy. I mean, I don't know. My husband's very against texture- things like crunchy things and sweet, like he doesn't like like nuts and cookies and stuff.

SPEAKER_01 13:54

Speaking of your husband, yeah. We just this week released, so you'll hear this a month later. I don't know, maybe about the Too Many Cups episode where I said that I asked your husband all those questions. Yeah. That was funny.

unknown 14:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 14:08

He texted Christy and was like, What did he say? Something like, God damn it, Christy, or like, look it up. And then he told me later that night, I didn't tell you this, but he told me he was like having like a little bit of a mental spiral because he couldn't remember the conversation, but he had almost convinced himself that you did have had that conversation. And he kept going, like, I would remember that though. And then we got in a discussion about towels, and then it was all you really spiced up our evening. Thank you very much.

SPEAKER_01 14:35

You're welcome. And I just got a I got a text from him that said, God damn it, Christine. And I said, I've been waiting. Because he listened to you like two days later. Yeah. Oh, it's so funny. And he said, I was super confused. I'm like, I don't remember you asking me anything about this.

SPEAKER_00 14:52

He did. We talked about it later that night, and he was like, I had convinced myself somehow that we ended up having that conversation. This is do you know what?

SPEAKER_01 15:00

This is the absolute perfect payback for him placing that chip on my desk that one day, many, many years ago. Told that full story, or we just keep referencing it. I don't remember. I think I told it. Oh. How I found a chip on my desk, but it was like a chip I hadn't eaten in a while. Like a potato chip, just like a literal potato chip, and there was no like bag anywhere, but it was just sitting on my desk, and like I was like, Where did this potato chip come from? Spiraled for days about it. Yeah. Days. And then finally Ashley was like, it was Dayton. Yeah. Whatever. Okay. Still a good joke. Alright, next topic. Next hot topic. Breakfast for dinner or dinner for breakfast. So breakfast for dinner is actually called Brenner. And I am love a brenner. But what about dinner for breakfast?

SPEAKER_00 15:45

I don't like either. So I'm a very category person. Like I don't really enjoy breakfast for dinner because it just makes me feel like just time isn't real. And so I have to have those like markers in my life of what time it is. And it grosses me out to think like not having breakfast, food for breakfast.

SPEAKER_01 16:08

Well sometimes I'll have like a really good dinner and then we have leftovers, and then I will take that um the leftovers for lunch the next day, and I get to work and I'm like, or even just if I work from home that day, and I'm like, oh that actually sounds really good. I'll just eat it for breakfast. And so sometimes I accidentally eat my lunch for breakfast, but then I then don't have any lunch.

SPEAKER_00 16:29

I don't know. I maybe that's just a weird thing about me that I just I have to have my categories. I got that dog in me, dude.

SPEAKER_01 16:38

Like, you don't ever have like eggs and hashies and bacon for dinner? No. Oh no. Girl, it's easy. The other day, the other night we had nothing for dinner and I wasn't hungry because I had accidentally had lunch at 4 p.m. A burrito. Remember, you were sitting in your office going, oh Yeah, I had a burrito baby in my tummy. And I got home and I was like, Are you are you guys hungry tonight? And they're like, Yeah, we're hungry. And I was like, shoot. So we just had eggs and toasts. It was lovely. Fair enough. I don't shame it. I just I don't prefer it. Try it sometime. Yeah. Okay. Uh paper towels versus napkins. Um, I don't care. You don't care?

SPEAKER_00 17:18

No.

SPEAKER_01 17:19

I don't like to wipe my face with a paper towel. It's too rough.

SPEAKER_00 17:22

Yeah, I don't care. Okay. I mean, I think napkins are just cut up paper towels. They're just they're just.

SPEAKER_01 17:30

But I also don't want a napkin to get wet, so I would never use a napkin to wipe up like water because that's that would make yucky wool wet paper.

SPEAKER_00 17:39

They am I can count on like one hand the amount of times I've bought napkins like voluntarily.

SPEAKER_01 17:45

I've bought I buy napkins, but like they last forever because you pull out a whole stack and like you maybe have people over and they use half of one.

SPEAKER_00 17:55

Yeah. But that's also what jeans are for. Just yeah. Just swipe your hands on your jeans like a grown-up. Yeah. Just wipe your mouth on your shirt, the bottom of your shirt.

SPEAKER_01 18:03

What's that there for?

SPEAKER_00 18:04

Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_01 18:05

All right. Top sheet versus no top sheet. No top sheet. Oh, ever? Ever. So I used to be a no topsheeter, but now I'm a top sheeter. A top shitter.

SPEAKER_00 18:14

No, no top shittering. No top shitting or shitters. I feel like this is getting dangerous dangerously close to top or bottom, and I'm gonna pass. Okay. Top or bottom.

SPEAKER_01 18:26

No, I I used to not like a top sheet because you know they just get so tangled, but now I love a top sheet. Makes me feel adult.

SPEAKER_00 18:35

Again, I don't care. Okay. My husband has really strong feelings about it. I'm like, whatever, dude.

SPEAKER_01 18:40

So he doesn't like them.

SPEAKER_00 18:41

He does not like them. No. But he and I are both the same in that when we get in bed, we like push the blanket up and like flip it under our leg or our feet. So like having something tucked in is like really restricting. Wait, you get into bed in what? So like you like kick the blanket up and then like flip it so that it goes like underneath your feet. So your feet are tucked. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 19:03

But you're still covered up head top?

SPEAKER_00 19:04

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01 19:05

Oh. You both do that.

SPEAKER_00 19:07

Mm-hmm. Yeah. And we both do that because he steals my blanket. This this man, uh tangent now, this man gets blood ass naked, like just underwear before bed, opens the window, turns the fan on, gets in bed, and gets as close as humanly possible to me because he's cold. And I'm like, you have got to be kidding me, dude. Get like, and sometimes I'm like, okay. And then other times, like when I'm in my don't touch me phase of my cycle, I'm like, get, get, I'm gonna snap. And sometimes he snores because he has acid reflux and he won't admit to it. And so he's like laying basically next to me and just his mouth shut. I might. And his nose. Just kidding. I love you, honey.

SPEAKER_01 19:58

Did you just commit to you just admit to murder? No. Um, I'm always really cold, so I am fully dressed with socks on. Gross.

SPEAKER_00 20:11

I actually gotta tell you a secret. The other day I was cold. I was having like a weird hormonal shift thing, and I put socks on before bed, and I was like, I looked at Dayton and I was like, Don't you dare tell Christy.

SPEAKER_01 20:26

And he didn't. He didn't. He's like a boy. Talk to him about that. Yeah. Um, no, but I will be like so cold. We don't have the fan on. The window is closed, and I am like, you know, fully dressed because I'm so cold, socks on everything, and then I'm gonna go up to my husband and he's like, You're a thousand degrees, get away from me. This is another thing where me and your husband are the same, and you and my husband are the same. But I'm not opening the windows and being like, I'm cold.

SPEAKER_00 20:55

It's fine. But then I get shamed for it. It's like, well, you want to snuggle me? It's like, no, put some clothes on if you're cold.

SPEAKER_01 21:03

So right now we're entering the summer months, and um, I love right now to just get into bed, but then I tuck myself into my um what is it called? What is the blanket called that I have? Goosebump. The goosebump. Yeah, yeah, I like tuck myself all in my goosebumps, and that is phenomenal. But but then my husband is like, you're just not gonna be in the covers tonight, and I'm like, no, ma'am. Correct. I'm in this, I'm in my cocoon. Leave me alone. Okay. Shower in the morning versus at night.

SPEAKER_00 21:35

In the morning.

SPEAKER_01 21:36

Always in the morning. But there are like a lot of people that even shower morning and then also like right before bed.

SPEAKER_00 21:42

It depends honestly on the day. Like I'm going to the gym that evening, I will shower in the evening. But the thing that I hate is that if I don't blow dry my hair, like I have curly hair, and so if I sleep on wet hair, it is just a big thing. Girl, are you washing your hair every day? Not every day, no.

SPEAKER_01 22:02

No, no. I'm at one time a week.

SPEAKER_00 22:04

I'm at every three days.

SPEAKER_01 22:06

No. Um it's good though. It feels nice to like shower right before bed, but I just I don't know. I guess I I could in the summer. In the winter, I would not be able to because if I get into the shower at night and it's cold. Like I will have the water on scald and I will not be able to get out. So that's the problem. I always have the water un scald.

SPEAKER_00 22:28

Always. If it's not burning off that top layer of skin, what is it even doing?

SPEAKER_01 22:31

Yeah, what are what are you in there for?

SPEAKER_00 22:33

Yeah. No, I just I I guess if I'm just like washing my body in the night in the evening, but if I'm having to wash my hair, it's uh always a morning.

SPEAKER_01 22:43

You gotta plan ahead for the hair wash.

SPEAKER_00 22:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 22:44

Okay. All right. Uh eating leftovers cold versus reheating them. Reheat. Always. Always. Unless it's pizza. No, pizza's even still gross. Oh no.

SPEAKER_00 22:55

A good little Caesars pizza cold is prime live in it. Hey friend. I'm ghetto.

SPEAKER_01 23:00

Little Caesars. I'm ghetto. It's fine. It's pizza. Um, I do like uh lukewarm pizza, like one that's maybe sat on the counter for an hour. Gross. The cheese is all like wow. Okay. The girl that eats it straight out of the fridge is judging the girl that eats it after.

SPEAKER_00 23:17

At least I know the cheese hasn't like made some germ friends by just sitting out on the counter sweltering. Yeah, that's true.

SPEAKER_01 23:25

Sweating the cheese is sweating on the counter.

SPEAKER_00 23:27

The cheese is sweating. Gross.

SPEAKER_01 23:28

Okay. Sweaty cheese. I think I already know the answer to this one, but do you make your bed or absolutely not?

SPEAKER_00 23:34

I give it a good college try, but no, not really. Do you just at least cover your bed? I try. Okay. I like a made bed. I love a made bed, but I it's go from the second I wake up. It's what? It's just go, go, go from the second I wake up until I'm back in bed.

SPEAKER_01 23:52

I have big like decorative pillows, and if I don't put them back on the bed, then they're just like on the floor. Like taking up space. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 24:01

I think my husband would kill me if I had big decorative pillows on our bed. He would probably be like, what the hell is it there for if it's not to be used?

SPEAKER_01 24:09

Yeah. Well, I can't convince my husband to put them back on, so that's fine. Okay. So I make the bed for myself and it I love it. It looks nice. Yeah, I do love it.

SPEAKER_00 24:18

It looks nice.

SPEAKER_01 24:19

Okay. Funny story. One time uh my friend like was coming by to grab something from my house. I don't even know what she was coming to grab. And so she came into my house and she literally sent me a picture. She came into my house and got into my bed. And at the time we had a dog and she was laying, she said, I don't know if the dog was like laying on our bed. And so that's why she decided to get into my bed. But wait a second. She sent me a picture and she's like of her and the dog laying in my bed. And I was like, Oh, I see you let yourself into my house. You weren't home. No, I wasn't home. Okay. That's a TDT. Oh, you missed. Oh, sorry. I was not home. She was coming by to grab something. I was at work. And then I could just get a picture of her and my dog laying in my bed. And I was like, okay.

SPEAKER_00 25:06

And you're like, should I come home?

SPEAKER_01 25:08

Or she could find that. Okay, if you're listening to this, find that picture and send it to me. Yeah. Okay. This will kind of go back to the Too Many Cups episode. Socks on at home or barefoot?

SPEAKER_00 25:21

Socks usually.

SPEAKER_01 25:22

I always want socks on. So I had said in the Too Many Cups episode that I like to put my socks by my shoes because they're a package dill. Um, which oh sorry, did I just say I like socks on at home? Yeah. I don't like socks on home. Oh. My feet get hot. That's fair. Um, anyways, but my spouse said, Well, I like the my socks up in the bedroom because I put on socks every day no matter what. I don't ever walk around barefoot. And I was like, Oh, I do. And just even last night, so there's five of us in our little family, the four of us, minus my husband, all say we get hot feet, which I don't know what phenomenon that is, but my husband's like, I've never had hot feet. And I was like, You never had a hot feet? And like, maybe get hot. No?

SPEAKER_00 26:06

I mean, yeah, like in the summertime, but not like oh, I get hot feet.

SPEAKER_01 26:13

Okay. Wow. Interesting.

SPEAKER_00 26:15

Cool story, bro.

SPEAKER_01 26:16

Cool story. Love that for you.

SPEAKER_00 26:19

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 26:21

This one I don't have an opinion on because I don't ever I rarely set an alarm, but do you set multiple alarms or just one?

SPEAKER_00 26:27

I very rarely set an alarm. I don't know. I don't really have much of an opinion.

SPEAKER_01 26:32

Nobody cares.

SPEAKER_00 26:33

I will say my husband sets multiple alarms and I want to schmurder him when he does it.

SPEAKER_01 26:38

I like to push snooze when I do have to set an alarm, I like to push snooze just one time.

unknown 26:42

Just once.

SPEAKER_01 26:43

No, but I'm not like a I'm not like a every two to three minutes like on a different alarms going off. Okay. Do you like to rewatch shows or always starting something new?

SPEAKER_00 26:52

Rewatch.

SPEAKER_01 26:53

I like to rewatch too.

SPEAKER_00 26:54

Yeah. I got that anxiety in my dude.

SPEAKER_01 26:57

Takes me back to my comfort zone. Yeah. Um, did you see that there is a new spin-off of Handmaid's Tale?

SPEAKER_00 27:04

I did.

SPEAKER_01 27:05

I wanna talk about it or no?

SPEAKER_00 27:07

I want to watch it, but also I'm still trying to finish freaking Dexter.

SPEAKER_01 27:11

Oh. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 27:13

But I I kind of do want to watch it. I don't know. I kind of assumed they were setting it up that way because some of the episodes at the end of Handmaid's Tale were very much like alluding to this other thing that was gonna happen with Hannah and then like never went anywhere.

SPEAKER_01 27:30

Well, there is like a book in the series called The Testament. Yeah. I don't know. We saw it the other night and I said, I'm not in the right space. Um We just started Rooster. Rooster? Yeah, it's got Steve Carell in it, and it's got Steve Carell and Steve Carrell in the Jamie Stark from Ted Lasso, whatever his running is. Jamie Tart?

SPEAKER_00 27:54

What did I say? Stark? Stark? Jamie. Tart? Jamie Tart, dude, dude. I don't think it's Tart. It is Tart. Jamie Tart. You know, given the history here of what things are, I think I'm probably right. But you're you're right. You should Google it for sure. Definitely Google it. Nobody needs to Google it.

SPEAKER_01 28:17

Nobody cares to know what the actual thing is. Just move on with your lives.

SPEAKER_00 28:20

Do you want to tell me more about Daylight Saving Star? What did I do? Jamie Stark?

unknown 28:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 28:24

Was I mixing it with like Game of Thrones? Sure. Oh, because there's Jimmy Lannister.

SPEAKER_00 28:31

You know, it's probably not that important. Okay. Let's go back to my previous statement of Steve Carell's a zaddy. He looks good in that.

SPEAKER_01 28:39

He looks really good in that show.

SPEAKER_00 28:40

Did you ever watch the one where he's the therapist and he's treating that? Will Will Farrell? No. Steve Carell's a therapist and he's treating a patient that's a serial killer and the patient kidnaps him?

SPEAKER_01 28:55

No. That's a good one. I mixed that up with there is a neighbor next door or psychiatrist next door or something like that. Yeah, that has Will Farrell and Paul Redd. And that show, I didn't like it. I think we did one episode. Okay. Are you an early bird or a night owl? I'm an early bird. I stuff that happens after 10 o'clock is none of my business.

SPEAKER_00 29:17

I feel like I don't know. I used to be growing up, I was a night owl, but now as I get older, I think I'm more of an early bird.

SPEAKER_01 29:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 29:25

There's nothing like watching the sun come up in the morning.

SPEAKER_01 29:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 29:27

That's beautiful. With a hot cup of coffee and silence. Nothing like it. Stop talking dirty to me.

SPEAKER_01 29:36

Okay, I already know what this one for you. Plan everything or wing it. Plan it. I'm a winger. I know. I'm not a I'm not a wing it. I am a You're a wiener. Uh thank you. I'm a wiener. No, I am uh go with the flow. So I do like a plan, but if a plan changes, I'm like, cool, we're going here. That's great. I'm fine.

SPEAKER_00 29:56

I'm then cool. Googled the freaking menu and I don't know what I'm gonna order, and then I'm gonna look like an idiot when I get there because I don't know what I'm gonna order.

SPEAKER_01 30:04

Is that a true anxiety? Yes. Oh.

SPEAKER_00 30:08

You can always just look. They give you time. Yeah, but then you're having conversations. Like if you're going with a group of people and you're having like conversations and then you're still trying to look at the menu, but then everybody else kind of knows what they want and you don't know what they want. It's not that serious. It feels that serious. Oh my gosh. Unless it's a place I've been to before, then I just get what I normally get. Yeah. Hidden things in Ashley's mind. This is why I'm in therapy, my dude.

SPEAKER_01 30:36

Is that why people love to know where they're going? Yes. I like to be surprised. Yeah, I'm I'm I mean, not surprised. I like to like going to a new restaurant. I'd never look ahead to see what the menu is because I I don't know. I just can always eat something there.

SPEAKER_00 30:51

I guess it kind of just depends on the setting. Because like if I'm just going with my husband, then yes, I'm like, don't look at the menu ahead of time. But if I'm going with like a group of people, I have to look ahead. I have to know. I have to know.

SPEAKER_01 31:06

Did you pre-order it too?

SPEAKER_00 31:08

Probably. That's the name of business.

SPEAKER_01 31:10

Don't ask me what I want to order. This is what I want. I do the thing where you look at the menu and you're like, oh yeah, I'm gonna get, you know, this. And then you continue to look at the menu and you're like, well, should I get this? Well, should I get this? Should I get this? So lately I just have to be like, the first thing I decide, I just put the menu away.

SPEAKER_00 31:27

But I have to have the menu open so that I can make sure I remember what I'm gonna tell them.

SPEAKER_01 31:32

Do you wish there was this embarrassing? Do you wish there was an app so that you wouldn't have to talk to them? No.

SPEAKER_00 31:38

Oh my gosh. I tried to use a coupon at a smoothie place the other day. What? A coupon.

SPEAKER_01 31:43

It's a coupon.

SPEAKER_00 31:43

A coupon?

SPEAKER_01 31:45

Coupon.

unknown 31:46

Whatever.

SPEAKER_00 31:46

I tried to use a certificate. Whatever. And the girl's like, oh, you had to put that in the app. And I'm like, then why the hell did you give me the paper? Do you know what?

SPEAKER_01 31:55

Why do I have the paper then? Just charge me double. Just you know what? Charge me double. I don't even care.

SPEAKER_00 32:00

Don't even give me the free stuff anymore. I don't want it. I'll just pay for it. I'm not downloading your stupid app for a freaking smoothie.

SPEAKER_01 32:09

Okay. Um, okay.

SPEAKER_00 32:12

I really need to chill.

SPEAKER_01 32:13

Yeah, you do. Okay. Self-checkout or regular checkout. So when you're at the grocery store, I just choose the shortest line. Yeah, I do too. So the other like I was at the grocery store just yesterday, and I think I had five items and I and the person like the regular checkout was completely empty, and I was like, or it wasn't completely empty, but they were finishing up. But self-checkout was full, and I was like, heck yeah, you can ring this up for me. Yeah. I did feel like a little bit sub-con or sorry, I did feel a little self-conscious about it because I was like, I could absolutely do this myself. But yeah.

SPEAKER_00 32:44

You don't work at that grocery store, girl.

SPEAKER_01 32:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 32:47

Just do it for me. You're giving them something to do, otherwise you're just sitting there like, okay, wish I had something to scan. Also, how fun is it to do? I really like that.

SPEAKER_01 32:57

Doop doop. So fun. I don't know. It's fine.

SPEAKER_00 33:02

All my childhood dreams are coming true when I can use this out like that. All right.

SPEAKER_01 33:07

Do you speaking of the grocery store, do you carry everything in in one trip or do you take multiple? Do you do you cut off all circulation to your hands because you have 17 bags? Okay. Yeah. We only want one trip. I don't care if I lose a finger. I'm taking one trip. Anybody that would want to take a multiple trip.

SPEAKER_00 33:25

I don't know. We have to because we end up having so much stuff, but I do pile that crap on as much as I can. Yeah. And you know what's really sexy is those houses that have the those newer houses that have like the Costco door? The Costco door. Oh, that goes right into the pantry. That is so sexy to me. Give me that. Hey, she's husband.

SPEAKER_01 33:46

Her birthday's coming up.

SPEAKER_00 33:47

Give me a Costco door.

SPEAKER_01 33:48

Do you have a place for a Costco door? No. Okay. You just have a real door?

SPEAKER_00 33:52

I just have a real door.

SPEAKER_01 33:54

Just treat your real door like a Costco door.

SPEAKER_00 33:55

Hey.

SPEAKER_01 33:56

It'll be sexy.

unknown 33:57

No.

SPEAKER_00 33:58

Okay, fine. I can't, my socks are there. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 34:04

Um clean as you go or just let all the chaos ensue and then you clean.

SPEAKER_00 34:10

Clean as you go.

SPEAKER_01 34:11

I like as clean as you go, too. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 34:14

Uh when cooking, you're right. Is what you're talking about?

SPEAKER_01 34:16

Cooking parties. I mean, if you have a party, it's likely involves your kitchen too. Yeah. Okay. I think I know this about you, but I'm gonna ask anyways. Start tasks early versus wait until the last minute.

SPEAKER_00 34:31

I like to wait till the last minute.

SPEAKER_01 34:33

Oh, I like I was gonna say I thought you would start the task early. No. No, I do really good on a a deadline.

SPEAKER_00 34:39

Yeah. I'm older and therefore wiser. Yeah. You don't remember me telling you about that story where I would wait and for projects and do them like tell my mom the night before.

SPEAKER_01 34:51

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00 34:52

Because it it's like a fear of failure, I think, for my little perfectionist body. So I just don't if I don't start it, then I can't fail at it until I get the anxiety of the day before and realize, oh geez.

SPEAKER_01 35:04

So mine is different because I just if I start it early, I will take one whole day to do what would take me last minute five minutes. Yeah. So I just I didn't know that about myself and I'm like, oh, I'd rather do this project in the 30 minutes it'll actually take me versus working on it for two days.

SPEAKER_00 35:25

Yeah, the pro the problem too is that if I start a project early, for example, something that we're doing at work right now, I started months ago and then other things came up, and now I've forgotten where I'm at in that process. Oh yeah. And I have to relearn, and I have a little bit of a deadline now of things, and so now I'm panicking a little bit.

SPEAKER_01 35:48

Uh okay. Do you walk fast or do you walk slow?

SPEAKER_00 35:52

I walk fast.

SPEAKER_01 35:53

I'm a very fast walker.

SPEAKER_00 35:55

Yeah. I know. And I have to walk fast to keep up with you. No, but I got places to be. And I've told you this before when I'm in like the store or something, and people are just dilly-dallying.

SPEAKER_01 36:07

Like they have all day. They just got all day.

SPEAKER_00 36:09

They're just having a day. And I'm like, Pam. Listen, bro, I have four minutes to get what I need and get out of here because I'm already late for the next thing I have to be to. Because time isn't real. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 36:21

Well, that's a great segue into do you like to be early or be exactly on time?

SPEAKER_00 36:26

Late. I'm late. Yeah. My license plate says late again. Yeah. I'm late. Always.

SPEAKER_01 36:35

I just want to tell you today, Ashley texts me and said, all I gotta do is change my pants and then I'll be on my way. And I got that text and I said, All right, well, I guess I gotta go shower. I showered and went to the grocery store and came home and got the pod set up before you got here.

SPEAKER_00 36:52

Yeah. Part of that is my husband's fault because I went to leave and he knew I was going to leave and I couldn't freaking find him anywhere.

unknown 36:58

I couldn't find him.

SPEAKER_00 36:59

Where was he? No idea. Was he hiding under the bean bag? He was across the street.

unknown 37:03

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_00 37:04

How dare you?

unknown 37:05

No.

SPEAKER_00 37:08

My child the other day got out of her bed. At night. At night. And my husband comes in after I get out of the shower, which is a night I showered after the gym. And he's like, Where is where's your daughter? And I'm like, what the hell do you mean where she's should be in her bed? And we panic searched the entire house, could not find her. And I mean like I was about ready to like call the police. I was freaking out. She came out, would not tell me where she was, would not tell me where she was. I don't even like I was coming out of her bedroom as she was coming around the corner. And I'm like, where the hell were you? And of course she thinks she's in trouble because I'm freaked out. Yeah, you are. So she just starts crying and keeps saying over and over again, I was nowhere. I was nowhere. Like, you're not in trouble. You're not in trouble. Please don't ever do that again. Where were you? And she would not tell me. And I'm like, okay, she just doesn't want to go. Like, she just doesn't want to get in her bed. So then I get her back in her bed in the morning. I ask her, like, where were you? And she's like, Oh, I was hiding under the beanbag. I'm like, Are you kidding me right now? Anyways, where were we going with that? Oh, today I was leaving. Oh, yeah. And the house across the street, our neighbors are selling it. And um the girl, like the she's such a sweetheart. She can mow, but she has needed help with like the trimming and stuff, like the edging and stuff to make it look nice. And my husband's really good at that. And that's where he was. But like, he had left his phone and the baby monitor, like in the garage, and he had taken my daughter with him over across the street. So like I go to leave. He knew I was going to leave, didn't say a word to me about where he was going, and then I come out and I can't find either of them. And I'm like, she's gonna lose her shit if I leave and not say anything. Anyways, that's the story of why I was late. Okay. But also I had to put on my leggings, and that takes a minute because I had to find the right underwear.

unknown 38:57

The whole thing.

SPEAKER_01 38:58

So I showered, got ready, went to the grocery store, came home.

SPEAKER_00 39:04

I need a I need adult supervision. I need seriously, I don't know who let me grow up and be in charge of stuff. It shouldn't, it shouldn't have happened. It's fine.

SPEAKER_01 39:14

I think it's I don't know. I think as you get older, you get more on time. Unless you're my mom.

SPEAKER_00 39:21

I'm your mom. Hi mom.

SPEAKER_01 39:23

Hi mom. Okay. Uh overpack or underpack? Overpack. Oh, I'm a right on pack.

SPEAKER_00 39:30

No, I'm a if I'm going for four days, I'm going to bring 20 pairs of underwear kind of person. You might shit yourself. Yeah. Five times. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 39:39

Okay, are you ask for help or figure it out yourself? Ask for help. I think I initially try and figure it out and then I will ask.

SPEAKER_00 39:48

Yeah. I yeah. Depends on the situation.

SPEAKER_01 39:52

You know what? I take that back. Because sometimes I bug you for help almost immediately. Well, sometimes I'll ask you for help and then I send the message and then I immediately send you the answer. And you're like, why did you why did you tell me this?

SPEAKER_00 40:05

No, I like it.

SPEAKER_01 40:06

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 40:07

Makes me feel needed.

SPEAKER_01 40:09

Alright. Now we're gonna get uh really deep. Oh, geez. Do you wanna fight one horse-sized duck or a hundred duck-sized horses? Didn't we already do this one? I don't know, we might have. I want the a hundred ducks size horses. You could just kick those things.

SPEAKER_00 40:25

Yeah, a hundred duck size horses. We've done this already.

SPEAKER_01 40:28

I know you have, but this is my episode, so shut up. You had like a big beak coming at you that's the size of a horse. Yeah, no. No thanks.

SPEAKER_00 40:36

No thanks.

SPEAKER_01 40:36

Okay. Would you give up your phone or your TV forever? I'd give up my phone.

SPEAKER_00 40:41

I think I'd give up my phone too.

SPEAKER_01 40:43

Yeah, I like TV.

SPEAKER_00 40:44

I enjoy TV.

SPEAKER_01 40:45

Okay. Um would you eat only one style of food forever or never repeat a mill?

SPEAKER_00 40:52

Never repeat a meal. I need variety. I don't know. I live with someone who could eat the same thing every night for dinner and what would that be? Pizza. Always pizza. Pizza? It's always pizza. Always pizza. Always pizza. And I like pizza. It doesn't matter. It's just always pizza. It doesn't matter. He wants crusting stuff. Cheese. He w yeah. It's always pizza. Okay. In fact, last night we went over to our friend's house for dinner and they had like planned, they'd like text our group chat, and we're like, and they they always eat like really good food. So they text the group chat and they're like, hey, should we do Indian for dinner? And I'm like, yes. Let's do it. Oh my god. I love Indian food.

It's in Leighton, it's called Redfort, and then it's so good. Oh my gosh, it's so good.

SPEAKER_01 42:02

And they had McDonald's, all right. And they had McDonald's. Okay. Would you like to always be slightly too hot or slightly too cold? Oh that's hard. I think slightly too hot for me.

SPEAKER_00 42:14

No, I think cold because I can still put more things on.

SPEAKER_01 42:17

I just think if I'm cold, I'm gonna be constantly being like a shivering, you know, like Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 42:22

But at least I won't be irritable. I think being slightly too hot means you live in Florida. And then I'm gonna be committing crimes. And then you get in fights. Wandering through the woods naked and stinky.

SPEAKER_01 42:34

Florida man, aka Bigfoot. AKA Bigfoot. Uh would you like to have no inner monologue or just a non-stop inner mon inner monologue?
