welcome, welcome, welcome. We're excited to have you back slipping it in with us, so sit back, slip in and enjoy the ride it's good to be back yes, it is good to be back.
Speaker 3:Before we slip it in, we just want to send out a little love to our lost buddy, henry. Yes, henry, our dog that JJ and I purchased at the start of our relationship.
Speaker 1:Really, Pretty early yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, After almost 11 years. We lost him last week, so we know he's looking over us as we record here today, but just wanted to shout out his name and send him a little love. And yeah, let's dive in folks.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he was a very good boy and he was spoiled rotten, that's for sure. That's for sure. Yeah, he lived a good life.
Speaker 2:Definitely, definitely. Well, we've had a lot of feedback from the last episode. We had a listener from grand rapids, michigan, complain about our wuzu fan commentary our first complaint already yes, already one episode in and here we go causing chaos we just want to clear it up.
Speaker 2:We never said the wuzu fan was a new item. We are aware it's been out in the market for many years. However, it is a viral item and that's what we said. It was viral and that it's hard to have it be on Costco shelves and in fact, after disappearing for weeks, it was found back at our local Costco, but this time on sale for $25.99.
Speaker 3:Wow, wow. So, if you see it.
Speaker 2:Buy it because that's a cheap price.
Speaker 3:And I would say like, if you're going to file a complaint, bring the receipts, because we have transcripts. We looked at the transcripts and we chose our words wisely on that one 100. Okay, also on the fan topic, a listener in Hawaii messaged us and said because I'm a fan of fans this fan of fans, by the way I'm getting encouragement to relaunch my Facebook group, but we'll see. But they went out and bought it and apparently there's a pedestal version of it as well, so I haven't seen that I'm interested in that pedestal version.
Speaker 2:Sounds amazing yeah.
Speaker 1:So we are like coming from all the way from Grand Rapids to Hawaii.
Speaker 2:Just in episode one.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:We have a big reach.
Speaker 3:And before we get into it also just quick update Still no hummingbirds.
Speaker 1:Oh, oh, no, I was wondering, I was wondering.
Speaker 3:I know Everybody was. They're on their edge.
Speaker 1:I did notice. I don't know if Megan you know this, but he transitioned from a small container to a bigger container for his meal prep for the hummingbirds.
Speaker 2:Wow. Well, I have to say, from what little I know of hummingbirds, they like a fresh mix.
Speaker 3:So if you've got this sugar, mixture Girl, I got a fresh mix.
Speaker 2:Okay, well, you better be mixing every day Girl, it is mixed Okay.
Speaker 1:It is fresh, mix it up, man. It is fresh, mix it up.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean, I'm doing it.
Speaker 2:I'm going to get a bird. Well, for that riveting hummingbird update, we can go to something else that's in the headlines.
Speaker 1:Besides these hummingbirds.
Speaker 2:Target's been in the headlines lately because it ceased its DEI policies. In the headlines lately because it ceased its DEI policies. There is a huge boycott being pushed by Reverend Jamal Bryant, who's the pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Atlanta, and he is also the ex-husband of Giselle Bryant yes, giselle Bryant from Real Housewives of Potomac.
Speaker 3:JJ and I watch this show and are big fans, but Maddie is not. I don't. I mean, I watch, uh, a couple real housewives, but that one I don't. And and I don't need to, you know, because you know why why, I got my own shit show over here, and so that's that is the lead-in from how we signed off of episode one. So, if you recall, megan said we got some situation, a targeted situation.
Speaker 3:She titled it that she sure did, and let's get into that. So, yeah, this story is really me being vulnerable right now. I'm going to. I'm gonna start off, though, to let people know that one I've got some poop stats, oh god, yeah. So here's poop stat number one one in four adults have had a poop related emergency. Oh my god. Now this is according to and I'm using air quotes the internet.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 3:So, you know I love you know that's. It's a little risky citing the internet, but I'm going with it, cause they also say that it's probably a lot more than that. People just don't self-report. But anyway, here's the deal. So I leave my house, I go to target and it's like um. So I leave my house, I go to Target and it's like 15 minutes from my house. As I'm getting closer to Target, I realized there's some movement happening and I'm like, oh God, should I turn around and go home? And I'm like I don't think I'm going to be able to do that.
Speaker 1:So you said that Target is about 15 minutes At this point. Where are we? At 10 minutes five minutes.
Speaker 3:I'm like five minutes Okay, so closer to target than I am to home still 15.
Speaker 1:I mean 10 minutes, so it's not really that bad yes, but I thought I was gonna have it to be me I was gonna have a situation in my car if I turn that car around and so I'm like nope, park it, get, and you know, all will be good.
Speaker 2:Well, and the bathrooms are right in the front of the store. Yeah, so you can make a quick entrance and beeline right to the restaurant.
Speaker 3:I just hang a right and they're right there.
Speaker 1:Also, you know the floor map of this Target, so you're regular.
Speaker 2:Most Targets are laid out kind of the same. Okay, which?
Speaker 1:yeah is. I haven't been in target in a while, hence the dni situation.
Speaker 2:So I've been trying. So you're, you're following the reverence boycott. Well, wow, look at that.
Speaker 3:I mean I suppose, yeah, I haven't done it either. I mean this, this shitty situation was pre-dni scandal. Okay, so you won't catch me shitting there anytime soon. Okay, so I park the car, I start walking towards the front door. I don't make it, oh my. God, it starts to activate. I make it, I get into the bathroom.
Speaker 1:So what stage are you in? Are you in the chills?
Speaker 3:I am hot sweats, oh hot sweats.
Speaker 1:That's the worst part.
Speaker 3:It's like your brain leaves your body. You're in like panic mode. You're like I'm hot, I'm sweaty, I'm full of anxiety.
Speaker 1:Are you getting anxiety, like the cramps, like?
Speaker 3:you're like, I'm just it's yeah. I want to like cry. I'm like what am I gonna do?
Speaker 1:yeah yeah, especially like I. I don't know if it happens to you guys, but when you expect with the store, you know exactly where the bathrooms are. It's like kind of the same way of like when you, your body knows that you're closer to home, exactly it knows exactly it's time to get out.
Speaker 3:It knew because of the store layout it knew it was close. It was like, hang a right and you'll be there. But I yeah Listen, quick sidebar to your point One day this is the second one One day I was driving home and I was so close to home and I knew I was going to have to go to the bathroom, I hit a red light, so I cut through a Kroger parking lot to avoid the red light and a car backed up. So then they had to call the police and I sat there like clenching for like this whole Okay.
Speaker 1:But this is back to that man, Back to that. This confirms, man, that this is really not your first shitty rodeo.
Speaker 3:No, no, it's not my first shit show rodeo, so here's what I do. So I'm in the bathroom, right, and uh, I well, I mean I had to throw my underwear away, I. So I had to like take off like all my bottom clothes which is what one of our friends does just to go to the bathroom in general, which again weird but true.
Speaker 3:And then clean myself up and then I made sure nobody else was in the restroom. I come out and then I put underwear like in the in the trash can and then a bunch of paper towel on top of it Cause I don't know if Megan knows like we don't have a actual trash can.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, Like in the women's we have little trash cans in every stall.
Speaker 1:Oh, you mean in the stall, I'm like we have trash cans.
Speaker 3:Oh, interesting, that's probably you have it for feminine products, correct?
Speaker 1:We don't need that.
Speaker 2:But I've used it to throw away just other trash.
Speaker 3:It'd come in handy for me to throw a pair of undies away.
Speaker 2:Well, obviously.
Speaker 3:These were Calvins. I was pissed, oh God.
Speaker 1:And you're not known to have the best underwear All right, all right.
Speaker 2:Jesus.
Speaker 1:That's a topic for later. Megan, that's a topic for later. He's not usually a fancy underwear situation.
Speaker 2:Well, I hope at least it was dark. What a fancy underwear situation.
Speaker 3:Well, I hope at least it was dark.
Speaker 2:What the underwear?
Speaker 1:Because it seems like this is an ongoing regular problem.
Speaker 3:Well, I mean it didn't matter what color they were, because I had to part with them, but I did get my targeting done. I mean I went. Oh underwearless, yeah, you were free-balling At that point I went, oh, I underwearless. Yeah, oh, you were free balling at that point, At that point I'm like there's an aspiration of underwear aisle.
Speaker 2:I did not, oh God.
Speaker 1:I mean, this is kind of the kind of like, just kind of the opposite of that man, and I think that we've talked about this before. It kind of reminded me of a term that we use often. It doesn't show up often, but we talked about a ghost poop. Yeah Well, do you know what a ghost poop is?
Speaker 3:It's almost the opposite of what I had.
Speaker 1:It's pretty much yeah.
Speaker 3:Mine was not hiding from anyone.
Speaker 1:It was, so it was a ghost poop is like when you are, you go to the bathroom and you wipe, and when you wipe, like there's nothing there, it's just like oh, there's nothing there, also known as a dream. It's also known as a dream. Yes, it sounds like you have issues quite a bit in this area which is kind of like the equivalent of like what the bidets do.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly of like, the same equivalent, of like what the bidets do. That, yeah, exactly. Well, this is where the united states is behind asia, with its lack of an intricate uh bidet, with the toilet, which I'm a big fan of, the toto neo rest 100, yes, yes and I've tested out yours and it's a dream.
Speaker 3:We have it and I love it I have a question for the two of you. Yeah, go for it Poop stat number two Over the court, and there's a reputable source for this one. Over the course of our lives, how much do you think, in terms of pounds, do we poop?
Speaker 2:Oh my God, I have no idea.
Speaker 3:I mean like give it a shot.
Speaker 2:I have no idea.
Speaker 1:I don't know.
Speaker 2:Like 50 pounds oh.
Speaker 1:I think it's more than that 50 pounds.
Speaker 2:I would think it would be more than that 50.
Speaker 3:Wow, you went from 50 to 50,000.
Speaker 1:Well, your reaction, your reaction was enough.
Speaker 3:All right, 14,000 pounds.
Speaker 2:Wow. I would have thought it would be higher than that Really, yeah, well, you didn't guess. Well, I didn't have a number. I'm not good with numbers, well me, god knows.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and she was already ready to move on from that shit show to a bidet, which is a different story. Exactly, 100%, all right.
Speaker 3:Well, I didn't want to miss out on that opportunity. I'd love to put out some new info.
Speaker 2:I appreciate it. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1:Well, that's why we love a hot topic. Yeah, and you know it's, it's, it's a tradition that we've as friends. We've kind of taken it for a few years now for sure um, you know, this kind of stories is not just about maddie, miguel and I. Like, every time we friends get together, there is going to be a hot topic, something that, um, we are all talking about, the news are talking about, and one of our friends really, uh, from grand rapids, she created like a little mug yeah, we have it with us today we have it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we have it here and I thought why not bringing that energy to that, you know, to the pod, and slips on um hot topics and talk about it. What do you guys think?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I love it. So what we would do really and we do this with a couple different kind of groups of friends, if you will we literally take pieces of paper, write down a hot topic. You can write down as many as you want and nothing really is off limits. Well, sometimes we do say like politics is off limits.
Speaker 2:It still gets thrown in. It's still we've got we. Yeah, we've went down that road.
Speaker 3:But anyway, we throw them all into the mug and then we pull one out, we read it, we kind of just have, uh, an engaging dialogue around it and um, we thought, yeah, let's do you want to do one right now.
Speaker 1:Okay, so we, yeah's see, yeah, pull it out, pull it out. All right, let's see what it is, let's see what we're going to talk about now in our hot topic. And it says oh, if any, if there's any Swifties out there, you better listen to this, oh boy. Human remains found near Taylor Swift's estate.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:In Rhode Island.
Speaker 2:In Rhode Island.
Speaker 3:So clearly this was your topic.
Speaker 2:No, it's not my topic, but I love Rhode Island and I've always been very jealous that Taylor Swift has a house there, because I would love a house in Rhode Island.
Speaker 1:And just FYI, coming up on Bravo, Real Housewives of Rhode Island is coming up Another one I don't watch.
Speaker 2:I'm very excited about that Real Housewives.
Speaker 3:Yes, me too.
Speaker 2:Okay, let me know when you guys want to talk salt lake city?
Speaker 3:well, I'm always ready to talk housewives I might check out the rhode island one you should.
Speaker 1:I do like that state yeah tell me about this findings and and taylor swift's estate. What, what is happening?
Speaker 2:I mean, I don't know anything about it, like what happened it was a bone, I think it might be a leg bone, and it was found by her Rhode Island house, I think, like maybe a football field or two from her house, and I think, well, the police are saying no foul play is suspected. However, I think that's a little suspicious, considering. Why is there just a human leg bone hanging out?
Speaker 3:in the ground by someone's house and there's no other bones, like there's no full human carcass situation, so maybe a dog grabbed a hold of this and brought it by our state.
Speaker 2:Maybe, or people are speculating that there could be another serial killer on the loose in the area, serial killer on the loose in the area.
Speaker 3:What I find that hard to believe because I don't, I don't know about you guys, but like I'm a huge true crime fan and like in the seventies, like there were serial killers everywhere, Right, and nowadays you don't really see them as much and I think they're serial killers living amongst us 100% and they're just suppressing it because why Technology and video footage Like you can't right, Like between DNA and all of this crazy stuff that they've done? So like I, the serial killer, I'm not saying I feel bad for them, but they are living amongst us and they can't. They're not, they're just probably pent up so it's probably showing in other ways.
Speaker 2:But that's just my take on. Yeah, totally no, I would. I would potentially agree with that.
Speaker 3:I would love it, not like love it in a way that is weird, but just like a true crime serial killer on the loose that somehow taylor swift is intertwined with I'd follow.
Speaker 1:I'd follow that and but reading through it, it seems like there's been like 13 other bodies in the area.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, that by definition is serial killer, like I mean they're. The police aren't really acknowledging that. They're're kind of trying to downplay it, so who knows what's going on?
Speaker 3:Well, let's hope Taylor writes a song about it.
Speaker 2:She might, because she's been big in the news this week. She's been brought into this bitter dispute between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. They are co-stars of the film it Ends With Us and I'm sure you've heard about this crazy battle that they're currently in. There's kind of a lot to dive into with it, but I'll see if I can like give it to you as simply as possible.
Speaker 2:Blake Lively is suing Justin Baldoni he also directed the it Ends With Us film and both of them starred in it and she's suing him Baldoni for sexual harassment, retaliation, breach of contract, defamation and some other claims. Then Justin Baldoni is countersuing Blake Lively, alleging defamation, breach of contract and other claims. His $400 million defamation case also targets Lively's husband, ryan Reynolds. It's been a very, very public battle between the actors and has unearthed a number of interesting texts, emails and heated discussions. The big thing that happened is that on May 9th, swift was subpoenaed as a witness and a spokesperson for Swift, who is also godmother to Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' three children, saying that the pop star had any connection to Ends With Us beyond the licensing of her song my Tears, ricochet.
Speaker 1:I don't think I've heard that song no.
Speaker 2:I'm not that familiar with Taylor Swift's full musical catalog yeah, thank, you, so I'm not sure I've heard it or not. Lots of times I hear songs and I'm like oh okay. And sometimes I don't even always realize that they are Taylor Swift songs. When in doubt, it's usually a Taylor Swift song, exactly 100%.
Speaker 2:So when the subpoena got issued to Taylor Swift, Lively and Reynolds attempted to get it squashed, which is when Baldoni's counsel wrote a letter on May 14th to the judge where he made the bombshell claim that Lively's lawyer contacted Swift's legal team to demand that Ms Swift release a statement of support for Ms Lively, intimating that if Ms Swift refused to do so, private text messages of a personal nature of Ms Lively's possession would be released and that that is crazy, and that conversation apparently happened after Blake Lively was not invited to go to the Super Bowl with Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1:She didn't get that special invite. I don't know if I followed all of that.
Speaker 2:So then she was angry so she tried to say like threatening Taylor hey, I can release 10 years of your text messages between us. So when this letter to the court got filed, lively's lawyers immediately filed a motion to strike these accusations from the letter, saying that the only purpose of this letter was to launder scandalous and defamatory allegations about Lively. Well, the judge kind of agreed, because within 24 hours this letter was removed from the court docket and Baldoni's counsel got admonished. However, everyone learned about these accusations and these claims in the meantime, so things are getting heated.
Speaker 3:Gossip girl, gossip girl.
Speaker 1:I'm just going to say this this is like a mess of gossip girl and I love to have An attorney in the table.
Speaker 2:With us.
Speaker 3:She is bringing us the facts. Yeah, I mean, you know it's a blessing and a curse, correct?
Speaker 1:It's a blessing and a curse as a friend sometimes you know she comes in and she brings in the facts and stuff like that. But Now that you're saying that allegedly Travis Kelsey actually unfollowed Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds- 100% From Instagram so that makes sense? Yes, and she did not even get that invite.
Speaker 3:Oh look, who's putting the pieces together. Well, listen Exactly.
Speaker 1:Whenever I can, I put my little two cents.
Speaker 2:Oh, you slip it in, I do slip it in, you're slipping it in, and it's clear that this friendship between Blake Lively and Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1:It's broken.
Speaker 2:It's broken and I'm not sure it's going to be repaired anytime soon.
Speaker 3:I don't know if I'm going to be able to sleep tonight. This is upsetting. Yeah, no, no.
Speaker 2:Well, Ryan Reynolds is kind of not really a stranger to bad press because he had a lot of bad press in the very beginning of his career when he was dating Alanis Morissette, when he was a nobody and Alanis was like the biggest pop star on the planet.
Speaker 1:Megan, you're bringing the tea today. You're coming in hot.
Speaker 3:I just want. I love Alanis Morissette.
Speaker 1:It's your favorite.
Speaker 3:I cannot get enough of going to see her live. She's amazing in the live performance, but go for it, keep going.
Speaker 2:Well, and I'm assuming you are not a Ryan Reynolds fan, since he dumped Alanis to date, scarlett Johansson. Oh, after he got all his clout and notoriety and became a name from dating.
Speaker 3:Yes, oh, really I don't remember nobody until then.
Speaker 1:Okay, I do like me some scarlett johansson I do too, I find her funny too I like her you don't feel much about her. I feel I see it on your face you're like well, I don't I like her. I don't you don't have a care much about her yeah, I'm I'm kind of yeah it seems like it. I think it's more of a negative side. What else you got?
Speaker 2:Judge Judy. In the other big news, I started seeing all over the socials a new product which got me excited. It's a super cute name Cloud, which is spelled K-H-L-O-U-D. Cloud, which is spelled K-H-L-O-U-D, and it's what I didn't realize initially was a Khloe Kardashian backed product, and what it is is hence the K yeah.
Speaker 1:I was just saying, if there is a.
Speaker 3:K, there is a Kardashians there, I like it.
Speaker 2:I'm here for it.
Speaker 1:I think it's cute I love it.
Speaker 2:And I love how it's cloud and it is.
Speaker 3:I know this popcorn. It's cute, I love it and I love how it's cloud and it is, I know this popcorn, it's a popcorn. Oh sorry, it's a protein popcorn. Yeah.
Speaker 2:It's a protein popcorn, so I'm a popcorn lover Hate it, and I'm a protein guy. I hate it. I love the combination. Have you tried this product? No, I haven't.
Speaker 3:It's awful. I hate it. Oh, you hate it, oh you hate it?
Speaker 2:Oh, I disagree. There's three flavors. There's a white cheddar, which I actually do like, because most of your cheddar popcorns out there do have a coating and what's interesting about this, like how many brands have you tested?
Speaker 3:I'm a popcorn aficionado, oh protein popcorn.
Speaker 1:Have you tried protein popcorn?
Speaker 2:No, no, I have not, but I hear Smart Pop Iionado Of protein popcorn. Have you tried protein popcorn before? No, no, I have not, but I hear SmartPop, I think, has a protein popcorn. I have not seen it or had it, but white cheddar popcorn in general usually has some type of a kind of a coating or cheese on it Like a little powder, correct?
Speaker 2:So the Cloud product, the white cheddar, has a coating on it, which is how they get the protein in the popcorn. The protein's not in the kernel, it's in the actual powder.
Speaker 1:I was going to ask because I was like how can they combine the popcorn and the protein in it Like I've never.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and they call this the cloud dust, okay, which is where the protein is. They also have a kettle, okay, a kettle corn sweet and salty kettle corn flavor, and that flavor also has a um dusting on it, of sort of a sweetness. I don't mind this one, but I don't love it as much as the white cheddar. And then there's olive oil and sea salt, which you don't expect to have a coating, and it does, and so that one just seems weird to me when I eat it.
Speaker 1:So it's white cheddar, sweet and salty kettle, corn and olive oil sea salt Correct, and where do you find this product? Did you?
Speaker 3:have to order this online no.
Speaker 2:I randomly was in Target. Oh back, Circle back.
Speaker 3:That was not planned.
Speaker 2:I was surprised to see it on the shelf and I immediately bought it because they literally had just seen on social media, a few days before, this new product and was like, oh, I have to look for it and thought I'd have to order it online. But there it was at Target. The only other comment I'll make about it is for the size of the bags. It seemed a little pricey. It was $4.99 a bag.
Speaker 3:That seems fine to you nowadays it seems like okay, yeah, so I mean I tasted it. Did you taste it? Jj?
Speaker 1:I tasted the white shitter. That's about I did.
Speaker 2:Oh, you didn't try the other two.
Speaker 3:No, I sampled all three of them and I just I mean like I'm not here to like dismiss the. I think it's kind of clever, but I think there's some work that could be done to make it that film. I'm not a fan of that.
Speaker 1:And I'm going to tell you the reason why I tried the white cheddar is because former housewives of New York, Bethany Frankel, which Matt loves I'm using that sarcastically- here, she does this, you know, know her own reviews and things. And one thing I don't know. You know this, megan, but she did the review of this cloud popcorn and she had to do a take two of the video.
Speaker 1:Oh, really yes, because she had given a higher number to the white cheddar. That she thinks that the white cheddar is there is the top of the three I agree because of what you were explaining about the coating with the protein. She thinks that they need that some sort of a sort of powder thing because they need to get that protein. And she went back and she thinks that the kernel is like crispy and good, but there is somewhat of a shocky and maybe I'm mispronouncing it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so she went back. It's the actual protein is why that's what this is.
Speaker 1:Yes, so she went back and gave it a seven. Mm, I totally agree with that number I think it's generous Out of a 10. And then she suggested though I don't know if you've thought about this what will be the next flavor for them, and she's like we know what cool ranch or ranch oh, that would be good because she's talking about this powdery thing which makes sense.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that makes sense, yeah I mean, why don't you just have a shake or a bar like do you need protein people?
Speaker 1:everything, try to find different venues of getting their protein, and I think that you know, and again, it's's cloud with a K. The Kardashians are looking for something. The new product?
Speaker 2:I see myself buying the white cheddar again. And I like the idea that I can have a snack and get some extra protein all in one.
Speaker 1:And Matt, you and I know if Megan needs to get her intake of protein, popcorn is the perfect match for her.
Speaker 2:I love popcorn 100%. Well, well, all right, and along those same lines, I was also shopping the other day and came across a new skinny pop limited edition flavor harry potter butterbeer. So I also had to pick that up and try it, and it's good.
Speaker 3:What is butterbeer butter.
Speaker 2:Well, you obviously aren't a Harry Potter fan.
Speaker 3:Me neither. I've never seen a Harry Potter movie. Well, you're a book reader. You didn't read the books. I am a big book reader and no, I didn't.
Speaker 2:I don't gravitate. I didn't gravitate towards that. It's something that's in the Harry Potter series. Butterbeer Is it series, butter beer?
Speaker 3:Is it a? It's a beverage.
Speaker 2:It's a beverage and if you go to universal studios you can also get butter beer but I'm assuming it's non-alcoholic I was going to ask that it is. I'll see I'm out so well, everyone has to have regular non-alcoholic beverages at some point. Anyway, I thought it was very good. It really kind of tastes similar to a kettle corn. It doesn't have any type of coating on it, um, no powder, anything like protein no protein though. Yeah, so you lose the protein, but you get a sweetness.
Speaker 1:It maybe has a slightly more butterscotchy flavor than a typical kettle corn okay, I'm not a big I'm not a big kettle corn flavor fan, so I'm like I mean I'll try it once, Maybe not twice.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I don't know. I always in my mind think I don't like it and then I'll taste it. I'm like I kind of like that it can get you. Yeah, it's like it's sneak up, sonia.
Speaker 1:But, megan, you're biased. It's still popcorn, so you will eat the popcorn it is.
Speaker 2:But I also am not the huge kettle corn fan oh, you're not, but I don't mind it a little bit, but I can't eat a lot of it. I mean, my preference always is just a typical standard butter.
Speaker 1:Kind of going back to Henry. He loved the sound of that popcorn he did.
Speaker 3:He did, and actually on his last day not to get all emotional or whatever like he got zero dog food, it was popcorn and pieces of chicken and treats. But like he, he had lost his sight, but not his hearing. And when that corn would be, poured into the, he'd come clunking around, hitting his head along the way into the walls and stuff, but yeah that's a sweet memory, yeah it is he. He loved his popcorn.
Speaker 2:I don't think he'd eat that protein chip, but well, the white cheddar he might, because that cheese, what dog doesn't love a little cheese that's true, all right, but I, yeah, okay, well, so what do you?
Speaker 3:okay, you, you telling people to rush out and get it?
Speaker 2:What's your thoughts? Yeah, I mean, I think. Yeah, I would say you should try it, and if you're looking for new ways to get more protein in your life, which everyone typically does need, I'd say, you know, give it a whirl.
Speaker 1:And to that point, just for those that are wondering, it's a seven gram protein popcorn.
Speaker 3:Oh, good point. Yes, oh, good yeah, and when you go to get it and pick it up. Just remember, the restrooms are to your right.
Speaker 2:Well, on that note, I think it's time for some slip it in and pull it out.
Speaker 1:I'm ready.
Speaker 2:Yes, for me. The weather in Detroit is getting warmer and it means rosé season is upon us. I love drinking wine. Red wine is my go-to drink. However, once the weather gets warm I don't usually want a warm, yummy red wine I start looking for my rosés. So I'm excited to have the warmer weather here so I can start enjoying a rosé or two.
Speaker 1:Rosé all day.
Speaker 2:That is me All about it.
Speaker 3:I don't do rosé.
Speaker 2:You don't no.
Speaker 3:And it's a struggle for me in the summer because I'm a red wine guy and everyone typically it's like, yeah, they love the red wine during like the fall and winter and then when the warmer seasons roll around they either switch to white or rosé. But I keep it real with the red.
Speaker 1:Do you have a preference, Megan, of bubbly.
Speaker 3:Sorry Okay. Well, you were pooping the whole rosé Trying to bring it back.
Speaker 1:Poopooing. Yeah, okay, poopooing. All right, you were poopooing Megan slip it in All my reds out there. All my reds out there call in.
Speaker 2:Do you have a preference, megan, that's my point like do you have a preference of your rosé being sparkly, or like, still, I like it both.
Speaker 3:Okay, I go both ways. Let me give you a little life hack right now.
Speaker 2:Oh, I love a life hack. This is my like thing I like to do in the summertime, when I kind of I'm just really um, wanting to have a red wine but it's hot out, I freeze grapes so that when I want Green ones.
Speaker 3:No, I don't like a green grape. I know, Okay got it wrong. I knew she was only into red ones. Well, that makes sense. I do a black seedless grape.
Speaker 2:I put them in the freezer, so they're frozen grapes, and then when I want a red wine in the summer, I throw in my frozen grapes. Then when I want a red, wine.
Speaker 1:In the summer I throw in my frozen grapes. I do love that. Yeah, I'm not a big red wine person, but I will try that I'm gonna try that too.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you're gonna love it.
Speaker 2:Thank you for that well, a pull it out for me is I was just in the store and I can't stand having a big shopping cart and I always want the small carts, but there's a local store and it seems like they have bought more big carts and gotten less small carts, or small carts got taken away, I'm not sure.
Speaker 2:So I go to get a small cart and there's none, and then I'm forced with this big cart, constantly trying to maneuver a big cart through these small aisles and maneuvering around people. I like to get in and out when I'm at the store and it is hard to move fast with a big cart.
Speaker 1:What are you doing? Like in this big bulk stores like Costco and Sam's that they? That's the only thing they have.
Speaker 2:I think that's a different sitch, no it is a little different because they only have big carts and those are actually even bigger than a normal big cart but I'm usually buying more or the products are in bigger bulk sizes. So you kind of need that bigger cart and I do struggle to get around sometimes, but the aisles are bigger than a typical grocery store.
Speaker 3:Don't you wonder how we even made it through so many years without a small cart option? I mean, they're relatively new on the scene.
Speaker 2:Well, and I kind of feel like the stores yeah. I think the stores are limiting small carts because they think people will buy more with a big cart. But that's not true. I'm going to buy the same, regardless of cart size.
Speaker 3:I don't know yes.
Speaker 2:I shove it in a small cart and I get angry when I have a big cart.
Speaker 3:Yeah, okay, all right, jj, would you like to go?
Speaker 1:It. Yeah, okay, all right, jj, would you like to go? I, it's perfect, because it kind of goes back to what megan might at least might slip it in. It kind of goes back to um, megan's rosé. Um, the weather is getting better, especially here in michigan. Um, if you have never been to a michigan summer, it's like Michigan summer is like one of the best. Yep, my slip it in is brunch.
Speaker 2:It is brunch season. I love a good brunch.
Speaker 1:And Megan Maddie and I, we often try to find the next best stop here in Detroit, trying to find a good spot for brunch. And yeah, it's just, it fills me up literally and it gives me a good energy. It's brunch and good vibes and laughs and a good rosette.
Speaker 3:Going back to what Megan was talking about, I was just talking to one of my colleagues this week, in fact, about brunch, and for me there's at this stage of my life there's two ways to brunch. There's just going and enjoying a brunch and going home, or there's Sunday fun day brunch. And I am at the stage now where, if I do a Sunday fun day, like, oh, we're doing brunch today, okay, I take.
Speaker 1:Monday off. So you're taking Monday off.
Speaker 2:I take Monday off. I have to.
Speaker 3:I like a brunch.
Speaker 2:I call it an early night and I'm ready for work the next day.
Speaker 3:That's why I'm saying there's two different types of brunch and I used to be able to do that. I used to be able to Sunday fun day, show up on Monday Not so much.
Speaker 1:To that point, Matt, I was thinking about like why we don't normalize a saucy Saturday brunch.
Speaker 2:I love like why we don't normalize a saucy.
Speaker 1:Saturday brunch.
Speaker 3:I love a saucy Saturday. Did you just coin that? I just coined that. Yeah, hashtag, saucy.
Speaker 1:I could do that. I mean Cause, then you have.
Speaker 3:Sunday, just to recover, right. Yeah, and you do couch binge watch and all those things.
Speaker 1:So that's my slip it in.
Speaker 2:Love it.
Speaker 1:My pull it out. It is gay dating apps. I am done with them, kind of done with them. It's a pull it out, literally and figuratively.
Speaker 3:Yeah, bleep.
Speaker 1:It's just, and, matt, I don't know if you've had that same experience, but it's just. I am done with them.
Speaker 2:I've seen you around. Well, I do love it when you pull up a sniffies or a grinder and I can see what's around. I do love that, so I hope you'll still keep your account, just so when we're out and about, we can see. I will keep it for research purposes oh, I love it, not for dating.
Speaker 1:You have a sniffies account. I don't keep your account, just so when we're out and about we can see. I will keep it for research purposes.
Speaker 2:Oh, I love it not for dating.
Speaker 3:You have a sniffies account.
Speaker 1:I don't have any sniffies.
Speaker 3:Okay, I think you should set the record straight no I don't, for that's too much. And don't you listen?
Speaker 1:this is nsfw if anyone puts sniffiescom into their web browser don't do it at work and, honestly speaking, I don't think that Sniffies is a dating app.
Speaker 2:I don't either. Oh, it's a hookup app.
Speaker 3:It's a hookup app. Oh different.
Speaker 1:I mean, it's like my back door is open, but now like the polls that we get, like the people that we get on those dating apps. Like Megan is just like it's hard to just get it.
Speaker 2:Is Grindr a dating app or a hookup app?
Speaker 1:I think it is the hookup app that you can get surprised if you get something. Really I don't. Okay. I haven't had a date in Grindr in years.
Speaker 3:I've never had a date or anything come of it from Grindr.
Speaker 1:Which is my point. This is a pullout. Okay, they're there and I have them on my phone. I the expectations are you do hinge?
Speaker 3:do you do hinge? I've tried, I've tried hinge and it.
Speaker 1:It just doesn't work out for me maybe, maybe you're the problem, it's you it might be like even when I was thinking about this pullout. I'm like this might be more than a pullout and later on our podcast. You know a little bit about my dating habits and things like that, but right now my pullout is my frustration with gay dating apps.
Speaker 2:I get it and for everyone's edification out there, Grindr and Sniffies, you pull them up and you can see who's on it all around you.
Speaker 3:So it shows you a map.
Speaker 2:No, it shows you a map.
Speaker 3:I don't think you're breaking any news. Well, Sniffies maybe.
Speaker 2:Well, sniffies shows a picture that's of someone's lower regions, versus a profile picture.
Speaker 1:A penis or a butt. Talking about free balling? Exactly All right. Lower regions versus a profile picture A penis or a butt Talking about free balling.
Speaker 3:Exactly, all right, well, mine's. You know I'm going to shift gears, so you got a little bit of a emotional Maddie today. So I, you know I talked about Henry, but I also this morning I got a text message from my niece and it was you know, like a a meme right. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean, and it just said that uncle or aunt, who kept their distance from the rest of the family, will start making more sense to you as you get older. Oh wow.
Speaker 1:Wow, that's powerful.
Speaker 3:Yeah, as you get older, oh, wow, wow, and that's powerful, yeah, I I like literally had an emotional reaction to that and like, welled up, she is a beautiful young lady, young woman, and it is true. I I mean, we won't talk about future apps, I don't know if I'll go there or not, but like we all have crazy families, right, but like I've got some crazy and and our family and I did kind of distance myself. My family lives in the West side of the state and so I kind of made my way over to Detroit. But now, as she has grown up and has created a family of her own, I think she's starting to see things differently. So it was just really nice to get and really was, um, meaningful to me that's nice, that is very sweet.
Speaker 1:Yeah, especially like those random texts that you just like oh I was not even expecting it.
Speaker 3:Yeah yeah, but she did follow. I said, oh, that's so sweet. And she's like, can I move in with you?
Speaker 1:She's like do you have?
Speaker 3:room, she sent a note with like can me and my daughter move in with you? Meaning. What that was about, though, was like I'd like to escape this crazy family and come over to your side of the state as well, so it was kind of a joke. But yeah, it was funny.
Speaker 1:You need a bigger house for that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, for sure. And then my pull it out, chalk, chalk.
Speaker 1:Chalk Really.
Speaker 3:You know I had a different pull it out that I was going to talk about, but chalk, I hate it and the. The reason I brought it back and made it my pull it out today is because you guys were all talking about that popcorn and that powder.
Speaker 2:Yes, like that's part of the reason I cannot stand chalk, like I can't get it.
Speaker 3:Like the text, I don't like the texture and I don't like the smell. You know, chalk that smell. I don't like seeing somebody use chalk on a board. I don't like the powder it generates, I don't like anything about it, and so it was very tough in school. I you know, I don't even know if they have chalkboards anymore.
Speaker 1:I was going to say whiteboards. You're aging yourself here.
Speaker 3:I know, but I mean when I was asked to write on the board. I cringe, oh, deep cringe, and I will say, because JJ's very-.
Speaker 1:I was going to say I knew you were I know.
Speaker 2:I'm sure you were chomping at the bit I was going to.
Speaker 3:I'll give you your props here. Jj is like a well, he's art. He's an artist first and foremost, so he delves in a lot of different areas of art, but chalk drawings on pavement is one of them, and he, uh, did some amazing things when we were well throughout the years, but particularly during the COVID years, and people would literally walk down our street intentionally to see what JJ had drawn like that week or I will change it every week, yeah. And do you?
Speaker 3:we can throw one of those up on our yeah let's throw one of those up on our, our socials after the show. But yeah, I just I can't stand it. So that was hard for me because I wanted to support JJ but I didn't want to see him doing it.
Speaker 1:I do have to say that it was like a blessing in disguise, because those moments that I was there with Shock doing my creative thing.
Speaker 2:Alexa is ready to chime in. No.
Speaker 1:I was going to say that when I was doing the drawings on the pavement or on the driveway, because you didn like chalk, you kind of stay away from it.
Speaker 3:So it was a kind of a me time.
Speaker 1:Oh well, win-win.
Speaker 3:Win-win, win-win. I didn't have to deal with the chalk, you didn't have to deal with me.
Speaker 2:Well, now that I know that you are such a hater of chalk, I can see why you never became a gymnast. What hater of chalk. I can see why you never became a gymnast.
Speaker 1:What Well you put chalk on your hands. Wow, Megan, that was great, you do.
Speaker 3:Well, I was a gymnast, as a matter of fact.
Speaker 1:Well, how were you handling the?
Speaker 3:chalk issue. I can still do a front hand spring round off.
Speaker 2:You weren't doing much on the bars.
Speaker 3:Well, I wasn't great on that apparatus.
Speaker 2:Well, you had to chalk up.
Speaker 3:Well, you had to chalk up.
Speaker 1:Well, okay, yeah, well, yeah. That's probably what traumatized them I was good on floor.
Speaker 2:Okay, no chalk involved.
Speaker 3:No chalk involved and balance beam.
Speaker 2:Well, balance beam, I do think they might chalk up.
Speaker 3:I think so Because you do the flips and stuff.
Speaker 2:I think they chalked up.
Speaker 3:I did not. I wasn't chalking up. Well, maybe that's what ended your career. You were wrong.
