Megan O 0:08

welcome, welcome, welcome everyone. We're back to slip it in with you, and boy have we had a lot of listeners slip into our dms and these slippers mean business. They, yeah, they're serious, they sure do Okay.

Matty 0:23

Well, first of all let me apologize, because it was brought to my attention by one of our slippers that I misused a term, and rightfully so. Let me explain. In the last episode there was conversations about Birkins. I intuitively said oh, what's? The male version of a Birkin Must be a Merkin Like. If you're following my thread, like remember like she carries a purse, he carries a.

JJ 0:56

Merse, yeah 100%.

Matty 0:58

Purse, Merse, Birkin Merkin.

Megan O 1:01

No, Not at all, but no one corrected me. I didn't even notice it. Correct.

Matty 1:09

Well, a listener did notice. And I got a little bit of a FYI. Do you know what a Merkin is? Dot dot dot? It is a wig made out of pubic hair.

Megan O 1:22

Yeah, it's used in theater and movies. Yes, what? Yeah, so your privates don't show when you have to do these like racy scenes.

JJ 1:30

You have a merkin. I was thinking that people really make a full on wig that you put on your head of pubic hair.

Megan O 1:39

It's to hide your private hair.

JJ 1:40

I'm like there is a lot of pubic hair that you need for your head.

Matty 1:44

Oh, can you imagine like a wig down to your waist? Well, if you want, like a very tight perm Correct. Oh yeah, like a curly tight.

Megan O 1:53

Well, you know I have to say this because this was shocking to me. Jenna Lyons has straight pubic hair.

Matty 2:02

Oh so.

Megan O 2:03

So she has no curl, it just hangs straight. I've heard, and it's weird I really want to see a photo she has not made it public.

Matty 2:11

As far as I'm aware, she could do like no, it just hangs there. She could part it.

Megan O 2:16

I guess I don't know.

JJ 2:17

I've never heard, I didn't even know it existed. New installment on the Real Housewives of New York.

Megan O 2:22

Well, she's also the former creative director of JCrew.

JJ 2:25

JCrew, which we love.

Matty 2:27

Okay name droppers.

Megan O 2:28

All right.

Matty 2:29

Yeah, I got it, we all got it Plug, plug, plug. Okay, and then the other piece of-.

JJ 2:34

We accept your apology, by the way, and it wasn't a plug.

Megan O 2:37

I've been a huge fan of Jenna Lyons long before Real House. No, no, I think he's talking about the pubic hair plug the merking.

Matty 2:43

But I do apologize for everyone out there that was somehow offended by merking.

Megan O 2:50

Well, maybe they're running around town calling their birkin a merkin, if they're a man carrying a birkin.

Matty 2:56

Right now I see a rainbow that has a star at the end and says the more you know. Okay, so the next piece of feedback that I got, um, well, we got, but like specifically around a thing that I had said, around situation, do you guys remember? This goes way back to episode two, I think two, two okay, I had a little target.

Megan O 3:23

Oh you were. I had a target up Situation.

Matty 3:25

Yes, correct, and the feedback was oh my God, I laughed so hard. Situation should be a thing Not necessarily about always having, yeah, number two situation going on, but like just a bad thing that happens to you or a predicament you find yourself in. It could be just like oh my God, have you guys heard about my recent situation? So, uh, point taken, we love it. You might hear about it. Hang in there. Thank you, Lexi, from Dallas. We appreciate your situation feedback.

JJ 4:04

Keep listening, love it, keep listening, keep slipping it in.

Megan O 4:07

JJ 4:25

I don't know what that is, oh does JJ know it? You don't know what Johnson means no Stop. It just means you're really eager. I was not even expecting that word to come out.

Matty 4:40

It's like they're trying to get on the show that word was done in the pre-prod it wasn't.

Megan O 4:44

Well, no, that word was done in the pre-prod.

JJ 4:46

It wasn't Well no.

Matty 4:46

That's hilarious Because it seems standard, so tell me. It just means you're really eager, you're really into it, like they're really like Jones, not Johnson.

JJ 4:54

Okay, jones-ing, jones-ing, jones-ing, jones-ing, jones-ing, jones-ing.

Matty 5:00

Jones, like I'm really like giving everything I have to be like doing what I want to do well, and I think it has.

Megan O 5:10

JJ 6:01

I do have to say that I love the update, but today is a very, very, very special day. And I'm glad that we're recording today, not only because it is Juneteenth, which marks the end of slavery here in the United States, and some companies have started to give that as a holiday, and I would encourage other companies to continue to give that as a holiday and I would encourage other companies to continue to do that, so that we can remember that the end of slavery.

JJ 6:31

But our very own Maddie's is celebrating his birthday today so happy birthday happy birthday.

Merkin Mixup and Vocabulary Lessons

I love it. So, besides just chilling at your house, what are you going to do with her?

JJ 9:51

There's so much that you can do just here with Fortune.

Matty 9:55

Well, I think we could probably go through my photo albums and stuff. But what I would we'd probably. I can walk downtown, so we'd walk, or if she wanted me to drive, I'd drive you Forge and then we would go to, like the local little Soho pub which is in Ferndale.

JJ 10:14

You call it a pub. Yeah, it's not a pub. It's not a pub, you're correct, it's a bar.

Matty 10:19

You're correct, but I mean it's a bar Fortune, it's not a bum.

Megan O 10:23

But I think you would want to take her to Como so she could find some lesbians.

JJ 10:27

She's single now, megan. Stop, she's single now. Why the lesbians at Como?

Megan O 10:32

Because they have this after-hour softball.

Matty 10:34

Megan no, not since Como, not since they burned that place down for insurance.

Megan O 10:40

No, Pull that out.

Matty 10:43

Pull that out Clip.

Megan O 10:48

But yeah, no, insurance, pull that out, pull that out, clip uh, but yeah, no, the lesbians for the locals.

Matty 10:52

the minute a lesbian stops partying after a softball game is the minute I mean like I'm sure they're partying, I just don't know if they're partying, I just don't know if they're partying At. Como's.

Megan O 11:05

Okay, right, all right Okay.

Matty 11:06

No, they do have no back at Soho, though I think the first, they do like Wednesdays of every month.

JJ 11:11

Yeah, I hope I don't get fan mail on this First the. And they can, you know they can reach out to us and correct us.

Matty 11:31

But I if it's wednesday they transition from wednesday is a great day for softball, okay, well, so hopefully you'll just have fun at soho with fortune and that's it well, no, I mean, I mean, maybe I will. Yeah, I don't know, but maybe like eventually, as the night proceeds, we'll eventually like migrate and I might like, let's say it's 11, 12, 1 o'clock, we're still oh my god man you can take it to after hours 100 if I'm with 4?

Megan O 11:56

no, after hours. You tried that once with me, yeah, no, he's tried it with me, you don't seem like somebody that would ever go for after hours. Megan, he got me sexy. Well, I had to feed her a couple of nuggets that weren't correct but absolutely true. So I'm like, okay, let's go home. No, let's go to after hours. I'm like, no, I can't do after hours. And then they're like, well, this great after hours place, then they're like well, this great after hours place.

Birthday Celebrations and Guest Requests

Megan O 12:28

It's like a denny's with drag queens. Oh, you love a dennis. Well, I love a moons over miami, and if you've been drinking all night, a moons over miami sounds like the best thing ever. And then throw in a drag queen serving it to you. It was like I got super excited I was in.

JJ 12:40

I was in such a thing as Denny's with drag queens though, let me tell you what I ended up at.

Megan O 12:46

Well, this divey warehousey I don't even know what it was somewhere in downtown Detroit where we walk in, and it's just a mishmash of craziness.

JJ 12:58

This is like a few years ago, yeah.

Megan O 13:01

It was when I was in law school with multiple rooms. Yeah, it was when I was in law school with multiple rooms. One room was just like a big hot dance room and the other room was just everyone milling about trying to get to the bar. And at the bar there were no food, there was no Moons Over Miami. All it was was cranberry specials.

JJ 13:19

Cranberry specials like a snack.

Megan O 13:21

No it was a sink full of watered down vodka and cranberry juice. So if you ask for a cranberry special, you got alcohol after 2 am and if the cops came in they could just immediately drain it and say no we're not serving alcohol.

Matty 13:37

They didn't have a liquor license. But just so you know, I got her there by just saying moons over Miami.

Megan O 13:43

By drag queens and Denny's she's like I'm in. She snapped right the fuck out of it. It seemed like a dream.

Matty 13:50

She snapped out of it.

JJ 13:52

I love when Megan gets tipsy. Well, let me tell you JJ.

Megan O 13:57

I was not happy because I had to go to the bathroom. As soon as we arrived, I tried to get to the bathroom, the women's bathroom. Well, it was packed full of lesbians holding court. Hold on. They were just hanging out in there and there were three stalls and only one stall had a door.

Matty 14:15

This is a positive. Was Judge Jude in there?

Megan O 14:19

No, they saw me. They were all very nice and welcoming.

Megan O 14:24

And then they're like oh, here, just use this, pointing to the two stalls with no doors. And I'm like, no, I'll just wait for the stall with the door. So I went to the bathroom, I left, I'm immediately trying to find the people I came with, and they were all in the crazy dance room. That was like a rave and I'm like, well, I'm not in the mood for this. So I go room that was like a rave and I'm like, well, I'm not in the mood for this. So I go back to the other room and I'm just sort of hanging out looking around by myself.

Matty 14:50

Yeah, I was in it for some food and drag queens, and that's not what I was getting, and now I'm standing by myself like a wallflower well, this kind of attractive guy came over, but he had, he was a little too like military looking for me and he had this weird like 80s brown leather jacket on.

Megan O 15:10

It was kind of top gunnish but not super stylish. But he came over and he started talking to me. He was really nice and I'm like, oh, this guy's like I don't know, we'll see and he started like asking me all these questions about myself and I told him I was just like dragged here by my friends and I think that's a little.

Matty 15:29

No, and then I didn't drag you there, I coerced well, and I said I'm here, just for the weekend.

Megan O 15:35

I'm from law.

JJ 15:36

I'm, you know, here visiting from law school so just, it was just the two of you at the bar.

Megan O 15:42

No, there were several others, but they were all dancing oh, and I didn't want to be in the room was so hot and crazy with the dancing.

Matty 15:49

Just I think there's some embellishment, no not at all.

Megan O 15:52

And then he said very sternly to me like you need to get out of here asap. Oh my god, and I'm like what? And he goes get your friends and get out why was there?

JJ 16:03

I was like this is weird.

Megan O 16:05

And so then, luckily, maddie came over finally, and I'm like look, we gotta go. I'm tired, there's no food here, there's no moons over my family.

Matty 16:16

I was like what? The kitchen's closed?

Megan O 16:18

yeah, exactly, it was too much, so we leave. Five minutes after we leave, the whole place got raided by the police.

JJ 16:27

How do you know? Oh, my God.

Megan O 16:28

Because we immediately got texted, because our friends got caught up in it, that we're still there.

Matty 16:32

I just wanted the audience to know, yeah.

Megan O 16:34

So he clearly was an undercover cop, and when?

Matty 16:37

he heard I was involved.

Megan O 16:38

I think the way he looked and acted yes.

JJ 16:41

But, maddie, you and I both know that Megan sometimes makes stuff in her head.

Megan O 16:46

No, 100% it's true, because I think he felt like 100% through. Never mind, no that he was an undercover cop because I think he knew that was going to mess up my character and fitness for the bar exam if I got caught up in this police raid your character and your fitness. For A character in your fitness, For In order to become a lawyer, you have to pass a character in fitness background.

Matty 17:06

Check why does it have to do with fitness?

Megan O 17:08

They mean like your fitness to be an attorney? Oh, like mentally fit.

Matty 17:13

Well and properly fit as far as upstanding okay, having integrity, so you think you knew your whole background I told him oh wow but you thought he okay, wow, this is a and that's as soon as he heard I was there from law school.

JJ 17:32

He told me to get out I feel that they kind of find a connection.

Megan O 17:37

Well, not in that 80s brown leather jacket. Do you know what?

Matty 17:42

else happened in that place.

Megan O 17:44

What.

Matty 17:44

Sandbar, and I don't go there anymore at all, like I don't even know the name of it anymore. But I did go back there, like I don't know, like a couple months later and I'm out. On this I'll use your words hot dance floor room. Yes, exactly. And I'm out there and all of a sudden someone's over the loudspeaker says if you are driving a black ford, escape, please come to the front.

Matty 18:12

And at the time that was your car that was what I was driving, so I go up to the front I cannot picture you in a forest cape. No, well, this was like circa circa 20 years ago, and they thanks, man, I do like it, I did like it, um. And so I go to the front and they're like sir, your, your car's on fire, oh my god, this is the type of place we're talking about.

Matty 18:40

This is like 3.30 in the morning and I'm like can you give me more words, like you might want to go outside. Your car is ablaze. How did they?

JJ 18:54

know it was your car.

Matty 18:55

Because they did an announcement. Who?

Megan O 18:58

owns a black Ford Escape.

JJ 18:59

Oh, and you came forward.

Matty 19:01

Yes, correct. So because I'm'm like, that's my car, so I go out there and sure enough, it's all in a blaze, and well, that's a birthday text.

JJ 19:10

Oh, you're getting text messages. That's the ding. I'm like what is going?

Matty 19:13

on, uh, and sure enough, the fire department's out there. They're putting my car like they're spraying it with water. They're putting my car like they're spraying it with water. They're putting the fire out. And wait, I'm going to keep this short, but like here's the deal, they put the fire out and I'm like well, fire's out. So I was with my friend. We go back in.

JJ 19:34

Oh, you, just like you were fine with it.

Matty 19:36

Well, we let the car cool down. I drove the car home what I had to get in through the passenger side, but I drove the car home I was with. Were you there? No, no, no, no, I don't think I'll get in trouble.

Megan O 19:51

Better to ever go back.

Matty 19:52

I don't think I'll get in trouble by saying it was my friend brad. He was with me and we drove home. I had to get in through the passenger side because my whole side was melted. So anyway, they ended up totaling the car and literally I'm like, okay, I had to pay all like, whatever my deductible was, all that stuff and I took care of that business. Five years later, five years later, I get a random check in the mail and they subrogated against the person that set my car on fire and I don't know even I honestly don't remember how I found out this information but I found out that there was a jealous boyfriend driving down that street that knew his partner was at this Denny's.

Megan O 20:49

Don't make Denny's out to be a bad name. It wasn't a Denny's, sorry Denny's, it's not Denny's. We love Denny's.

Matty 20:55

That's how I got her there, Denny. But, he threw a Molotov cocktail. Is that what they call?

Megan O 21:01

it. Do you know that?

Matty 21:03

I you know it's like a like a firebomb that you throw. But they were driving and they misjudged and they hit my car and the ex boyfriend's car or the boyfriend I don't know was car was next to me, but they hit mine and I got all my. Uh, I got a check for my deductible back oh, I mean, like it was a well this was a five-year closure yeah, wow, the wheels of the law are slow moving.

JJ 21:30

So here's what I get. So should I not?

Matty 21:33

hours are you telling me I shouldn't date fortune? Probably not, yeah.

Megan O 21:38

I don't think.

Matty 21:39

Fortune wants that Fortune's a no-go. I can tell you it's not up her alley.

Megan O 21:46

Sounds like she'd love it.

JJ 21:48

I don't think so. I think she'd love it. It'll be great content for her comedy.

Megan O 21:52

That's about it. She doesn't want to get mixed up in that.

Matty 21:57

This sounds like a fucking night out?

Megan O 21:59

She would love it. She wouldn't All right. I think this sounds like a fucking night out. She would love it? She wouldn't All right. All right, I think she needs a saucy Saturday.

JJ 22:05

Oh, you're thinking a saucy Saturday. I do think you need a saucy Saturday All right, so here let me reframe the night.

Matty 22:11

Yeah, soho, como's Sands Lesbians.

Megan O 22:16

Yeah, because they're not there, even though you think they are. They're not there, even though you think they are, after the softball.

Matty 22:25

and then yeah, sorry, so well, softball is not on a friday, okay, I get it. So what I'm gonna do is we're gonna you turn it. I might swing by the elks oh yeah she might like the elks I don't think, elks ferndale listen for the audience.

Matty 22:37

Lgbtq elks in the country, so when I'm sayingks, don't think that I'm talking just like your normal, like Iowa Elks. This is no offense. Iowa but this is like your farm to Elks and we'll do a drink there and then we're going to come back and I'll spin some records and then I'll I'll be like, ok, let's call it an early night, because it's two thirty. And then we will saucy Saturday.

JJ 23:05

Perfect, so you're going to cover the expenses for all that.

Matty 23:11

Well, of course, and you pay for it. Well, yeah.

Megan O 23:14

Do you hear that Fortune you have a free night out in Detroit.

JJ 23:17

Well, megan, saturday, I'm sure that you have to go back to one of the bars to pick up your card. Oh, 100 percent.

Megan O 23:24

Maddie can't leave a bar without also leaving a credit card behind.

JJ 23:30

And then it's been so many times, so many times in the morning Maddie was like oh, we have to go to that bar. Can I pick up that? Can you just go in? Can I say something? Jj?

Matty 23:44

There was always this moment where I'd crawl out of bed and I'm like, oh, there's my pants on the floor jeans or whatever they are, and I'm like, oh my God, I hope to God when I reach into that front pocket or look at my wallet and then eight times out of 10, I'm like oh God, treasure hunt time. And I'd look at my wallet and then eight times out of 10, I'm like oh God, treasure hunt time.

Megan O 24:04

And I'd have to. But those days are done, I've lived it. No, I've lived it so many times with you.

Matty 24:08

I don't do it anymore. Tell Megan why I've got the hold on. You know what the worst part about losing your credit card is. I have those last four digits memorized, and then they would change. You know when you have to buy something online and you're like what's the last one? Well, lots of times it's the security code the three numbers.

Megan O 24:31

Well, imagine that changing every two weeks.

Matty 24:32

I know imagine having to drive you over town trying to find that credit card. I know, I know, I know, listen, my last four digits have been remained the same. For the last, I would would say good, 18 to 20 months.

JJ 24:45

I would say probably a year.

Megan O 24:47

I don't know, that seems like you're pushing that. That's a stretch. No, no, same, same, no. But Because Matt?

Matty 24:53

Go, can I just go in?

JJ 24:54

Megan Matty. I introduced Matty to the bar. You can actually pay with Apple Pay.

Megan O 25:00

Well, how is that?

JJ 25:01

Well, you should see his face Every time I would go. Maddie you can test that Every time I would go to the bar and just give him a because the thing here locally, if you're paying with the Apple Pay, with your phone, for your tab, you would just have to hand them your phone.

Megan O 25:20

Oh, you're not tapping, you're not tapping.

JJ 25:23

Oh, okay, so you, I, you would just have to hand them your phone. Oh, you're not tapping, you're not tapping, so you, I would go every time, every single solitary time. Like maddie was like wait, what are you? Why are you giving the your phone?

like I'm, like, I am pain, and he's like that's amazing oh yes, well, let me just say, like I know how to use apple pay, I think I introduced you to like two clicks Apple Pay on your phone, like I could get it at the grocery store, but like fast forward.

JJ 25:49

What about at the?

Matty 25:49

bar Correct. That's a different story.

Megan O 25:52

That's exactly this.

Matty 25:53

And I would be, like, well, it would be weird. Here's the weird part.

JJ 25:57

What's the weird about it?

Matty 25:58

Well, we get two drinks and then I give this bartender my phone that's unlocked Right, like I've either given the code or my face.

JJ 26:07

It's not unlocked, you're just tapping into the screen.

Matty 26:10

I should stop unlocking.

Megan O 26:12

Yeah, obviously.

JJ 26:16

Yes, I didn't mean that. I thought he was looking at my photos and shit I'm not sure you've really accomplished using Apple. Pay. The thing with this is, every time you go in, you have to pay for the tab right at the moment. That's what Gen Z is doing. What do you mean?

Megan O 26:36

They're reportedly avoiding bar tabs.

Matty 26:40

Well same, you don't have to be a Gen Z to avoid a bar tab or picking up your credit card the next day.

Megan O 26:47

I mean, I'm just saying they want to just close out and pay after each drink instead, Like they don't want to have a tab out there at all.

JJ 26:56

Okay. I don't mind that, to be honest.

After Hours Adventures in Detroit

Matty 26:59

Well, it does save the next day, anxiety reaching into your pocket.

JJ 27:04

But I think that if you are just at the bar it's different. I think that if you are a restaurant, but if you're at the bar, I typically just tip the same thing per drink. Now, with the Apple Pay, I just close it every time.

Matty 27:20

But you do know, cumulatively that's a hard word to say, but cumulatively, if you have a bar tab that is for your whole night and you tip on that versus tipping on every drink, you're probably going to come out more ahead on the cumulative. Yeah, but probably that will be something that will keep you from getting too many drinks. Or getting up the next morning and running around like did I leave my card here? Yeah, maybe.

Megan O 27:48

Yeah, absolutely. I think it's interesting to me because I like the bar tabs, because it's just easy to not have to worry about it and have one transaction at the end. And that's a bartender's preference, because apparently this gen z close out consistently after each drink causes them for some frustration. And this is all according to a recent new york times report oh, wow, yeah.

Matty 28:13

What kind of like. I mean like they're frustrated about everything.

JJ 28:17

I feel, I know I mean like I love you all, gen z. This makes me feel that I always was connected to the Gen Z, for some reason, oh my gosh.

Matty 28:25

Why? Because you're on the cusp.

JJ 28:27

Maybe, maybe yeah. Because I'm on the younger side of you.

Matty 28:31

This group Only because I had a birthday today.

Megan O 28:35

That puts the gap a little longer but like, yeah, I get it. Well, I think it's time for a product review.

JJ 28:43

That's a good segue From tabs To a review.

Matty 28:49

Let's do it. It's time to move on.

Megan O 28:52

Fortune's left. Fortune is right here with me, she's always on my shoulder, hopefully listening Listen.

Horsepower Duck: Maddie's Product Review

Matty 29:00

Fortune, call me Alright Fortune. I hope you like a duck on my shoulder, hopefully listening to you. Listen, fortune, call me Alright Fortune. I hope you like a duck. So, since it's my birthday, it's my product review. I'm going to give you a noise teaser.

JJ 29:15

People need to. I don't know what that is.

Megan O 29:21

It's really not that exciting for a listener.

Matty 29:23

I exciting, oh it is for some um hold on. It's got a cult following, so that just turned out thousands of people on wow. So here's the deal. Let me set it up. How I'm gonna set it up, I'm not sure how it's coming out, but here's how it goes. Okay, go for it. I do feel like I'm a little bit of a gadget guy, like I love a good gadget. Like find something for me, gadget it up. I like it if it's got an on off switch. I'm a fan, yeah, speaking of fans I didn't even mean that.

Matty 29:56

My first product review was a fan and then fan of fans. A fan if I'm correct and I know I am blows out air. This one sucks in air, so like there's something going on. It's a Freudian thing, but this is a small handheld vacuum that looks like a mallard and it's called JJ.

JJ 30:24

I can't with you. This episode is loaded. It's a type of mallard.

Matty 30:29

Well, it's a male duck. Oh, I didn't know that. Oh, you didn't.

JJ 30:32

Well, megan just so you know, megan and JJ, something I learned.

Matty 30:36

A mallard is a male duck.

Megan O 30:39

Oh, I thought it was a type of duck. I didn't know if they were very spiced.

Matty 30:43

In the duck world, the men are prettier than the females.

Megan O 30:45

Yes, in the animal world. That's typical. That's an animal world, well, and definitely the bird world.

Matty 30:50

Well, the females are like beige and brown, which I do in the human world, as you know Flashback, I like a beige, but this is like a mallard is the prettier, yeah. And so this particular vac handheld I got so much to say yeah, I don't know where to start. So it's a very attractive, it's got the greens, it's got the yellow and like the beak is the thing that sucks it up.

JJ 31:15

Yeah, now that I'm looking at it, it really looks like a duck. That's why it's called.

Matty 31:19

It's like I'm looking at the label it says Horsepower Duck. So here's the thing. I don't know. I'm like I don't tune in to like infomercials, but I think this is a legit infomercial product.

JJ 31:34

You got a QVC.

Matty 31:35

I did not.

JJ 31:42

Because what you do nowadays is, you see it, and they're like oh for 20, two for 20, this was like three payments of 20 right free shipping if you order in the next 20 minutes, damn um.

Matty 31:49

And then it was like um, I, I made record of it and then I went in, of course, immediately to amazon and I'm like does?

Megan O 31:58

amazon carry the duck.

Matty 31:59

Amazon does carry the duck, so I ordered the duck. Here's the thing. I don't know why, but there is a certain gratification about taking this handheld little vacuum and walking around my house, and I've told JJ this on several occasions. It's like I don't know why, but like there's little tiny particles around my house, like little, this little, that little, this. And when I bring this duck around and it just sucks it up, that little is. And when I bring this duck around, and it just sucks it up and it's like this mini little victories or like accomplishments.

Matty 32:32

It's like, oh, and I'd prefer it over a vacuum, like a vacuum could probably do it faster, but I have hardwoods and you do a victory dance every time you suck it well, especially when it's like I don't think the duck can handle that and it pulls it right in.

Megan O 32:48

Well, how much is this duck?

JJ 32:52

Okay, it's like $40 to $50, depending on it's $40 to $50, that little thing. I have a cheaper version.

Matty 32:56

Okay, but listen, I'm here for the duck Like it gives you visual aesthetics.

JJ 33:03

Yeah, it does look a little bit.

Matty 33:05

It's got horsepower. It says it even on the thing. There is legitimate horsepower going on. There is also just a cult following. So you can. You can buy your little side piece, little uh, vacuum cleaner, but you're not going to be part of a community. I'm part of a duck community, part of a duck community the map. It sucks up crumbs, even screws. It'll pull up a screw like oh wow, yeah, sometimes they screw it sure yeah.

Megan O 33:35

So okay, nice, it's yeah, so I'll have to try it yeah so it's so.

JJ 33:39

Do people have to go to qvc or asia?

Matty 33:42

I think, what you should do nowadays is just I would probably go to chat gpt and just be like I want the horsepower duck, tell me where to buy. It gave me the cheapest price because I did my leg work.

Megan O 33:55

I didn't need two for 20 and not that well, let me ask you this why couldn't you just do a google search for horsepower? Dot google gives you all the different places I could but that seems so easy yesterday.

Matty 34:08

I do like that.

JJ 34:09

There is like a feature of google that says nearby yeah, if I want to buy it.

Matty 34:13

Have you ever used the also the google lens. I do like google lens where it's in your google search, but if you hit that little icon, that's the lens it'll let you take a picture of it so what I do on. That is like when I see an outfit on tv of somebody, I'm like, oh my god, I want that shirt. I will google, lens it and it'll find the shirt. And usually, because it's a celebrity, it's like three thousand dollars for that shirt well, that's a great life hack.

Megan O 34:39

I love it yeah pro tip. Well, just like you love a gadget and you have this need to like consistently vacuum up things around your house with your little duck, I have a. I have a thing where, if I see a new product in the store, I just can't walk by.

JJ 35:03

I have to pick it up.

Matty 35:04

I just have to. Are we talking about food products, snack products? I think everything, or just like any product.

Megan O 35:11

All of these.

Matty 35:11

Because you'd be busy.

Megan O 35:12

But specifically I get it a lot in a grocery store or a market.

Matty 35:17

That's what I thought.

Megan O 35:18

Because I just I'm there a lot and the items are usually smaller dollar amounts, so it's easy to like try stuff out, just throw it in the bag.

Matty 35:30

Yeah, smaller dollar amounts so it's easy to like try stuff out in the bag. Yeah, so my pull it out oh is oh, we're a new item. Oh, we're pulling it out, yeah, yeah, well, okay, well, all right, I'll talk to you done like well what more is there to? Say well, I don't know like there isn't duck, duck, goose you've talked about it.

Megan O 35:45

You told the price yeah yeah so my pull it out is a pringles limited edition flavor. Now, I love me a pringle. Oh god, I love a pringle. I just I don't.

Matty 35:57

I can't put my finger on it.

Pringles, Bravo and Slips & Pulls

Megan O 35:58

I don't know why I love a pringle, but anyway I was in the grocery store I saw a huge setup for these Pringles limited edition flavors and I immediately got excited. Well, I tried these special limited edition Miller Lite flavors beer can, chicken and the other ones grilled beer, brat and honestly, I can't. No, it's a pullout, I can't. No, it's a pull out, I can't do it. It's kind of like you know sometimes where you might drip your beer over some French fries or potato chips, and then you go pick it up and eat it.

Megan O 36:37

It's kind of got this soggy beer taste. That's what these Pringles are. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Matty 36:43

We better not. I love you.

Megan O 36:45

I love all your regular traditional flavors, but I can't do the limited edition Miller Lite flavors Same.

Matty 36:53

Good try though.

Megan O 36:54

Yeah Well, I appreciate it. I love the tie in, but it's not for me. My slip it in is the Real Housewives of Miami are back on.

Matty 37:05

I'm not a fan.

Megan O 37:06

It's so good, it's a good one.

JJ 37:09

It started like I have never seen a Housewives.

Megan O 37:11

Start before with the whole walkout on one of the main characters, alexia, who just got married. A year or two ago. Her husband basically encouraged her to leave for the day to go shopping, and then he moved out and filed for divorce, then, if that's not enough, encouraged her to leave for the day to go shopping, and then he moved out and filed for divorce.

Matty 37:29

Oh then, there you go, if that's not enough if that's not enough.

Megan O 37:32

She takes them back.

JJ 37:33

Yeah.

Megan O 37:34

They're not living together.

JJ 37:37

They're not living together.

Megan O 37:38

They're still getting divorced. So it started well it started with a bang and it's only gotten better.

JJ 37:46

So, it's it's a slip it in for me and I'm loving it I love the switch of like pull out first and then slip in after like yeah, like but I'm gonna start out with my slip of it, and my slip it in is that the cast of the season four of traders is out. Oh, and I'm so excited. I don't know if you've heard any of the new cast members for the season four of Traders. There are 23 of them, so I'm not going to mention all of them, but I'm going to tell you who I'm excited about. The first one is Dorinda is coming back, I know.

Matty 38:21

Dorinda's coming back, I'm sure because they kicked her off so early on. Like this didn't pan out so.

JJ 38:28

Dorinda's coming back. So some of the housewives is Dorinda Candice from Potomac. She's coming back. She's coming as part of the cast. Lisa Renna is going to be part of it.

Megan O 38:41

I love Lisa, yeah, and.

JJ 38:42

Megan O 39:16

And Kristen.

JJ 39:17

Kish from Top Chef, which is like a brand new host, honestly speaking, the first season for her. Last season I was not a big fan.

Matty 39:25

I do like her outfits this last season yeah, this last season she was good, big fan. I do like this last season yeah, this last season she was good.

JJ 39:28

she addresses impeccable yeah, so I'm very, very excited for the season four of traders that is my, slip it in to see like the housewives and the gamers go against each other and I'm in game of games yes, my pull it out has to kind of be with bravo con um, there is going to be.

JJ 39:50

There's been like rumors and people talking because people are very, very upset about the ticketing system. When trying to get bravo con tickets, people have been like not even sleeping trying to get in. And there's this third party companies that they buy the tickets prior to it and at the time that the tickets are going to be sold, they take sold out I don't think this is just bravo this is a problem in our, in our industry, our industry.

Matty 40:23

When you start to come to see our shows. This will be a problem. We will not stand for it I, I, yeah, I it is.

JJ 40:31

You're right, it's a problem with the ticketing system. I just wanted to bring in bravo con just in case there's any bravo con tickets left that we can get in love it but it's a pull out. The whole ticketing system with especially bravo con, there's like a lot of uh bravo holics like megan maddie and I that wanted to get into bravo con and they were now able to get the three day pass because of this situation. So that's definitely a pullout for me I agree.

Matty 40:59

Is it the birther boys? It is okay before I do for last before I slip it in and pull it out, I do want to backtrack to my partner, fortune Fortune. When you asked what my favorite three nuts were, I just want you to know. Shout out. I use it on all my first dates.

JJ 41:23

That's from the Handsome podcast, right Correct.

Matty 41:26

And they're like what are your favorite three nuts. It's controversial, like how do you choose between a pistachio, a cashew, an almond, a regular peanut?

JJ 41:35

That should be an episode here.

Megan O 41:37

Yeah, I think that maybe that has to be a until next time.

Matty 41:41

Okay, because that's a lot to talk about. I'm planting a peanut seed, okay, so mine slip it in. Here's the thing, you guys. Today is my birthday, my mom has passed away, and last night was also my aunt's birthday, which is on my mom's side, so my mom's sister. When I was younger, anytime it would rain or thunderstorm, we would not close the windows and shut the doors. We would open them and run outside and we would play in the rain as long as it was safe, right, like or maybe not, I don't know, but like we lived on the edge, but like we would go out and embrace the rain.

Matty 42:29

And uh, last night it started to rain and I went inside and then it rained harder. And I'm like, no, I think it was funny, Cause JJ texted me and said, uh, oh my God, this weather. And I'm like I think it's my mom saying happy birthday, yeah. And I went out that's so cute.

Matty 42:51

I went outside and then I just like put my arms out to my side and looked up and I said you know, we, I had a little conversation and then the next, I guess so this is gonna segue into my pull it out it's a big. It was, and so then I get inside, and then, two seconds later, my power goes off.

Megan O 43:13

Oh my gosh. And.

Matty 43:14

I texted JJ. I'm like oh my God, my power just went off. I'm like mom too much.

Megan O 43:18

Yeah, too much mom, mom, too much, that is.

Matty 43:21

So she crossed the line and my power went off for two hours, which is my pull it out, but like, also acknowledging privilege of electricity. But like, okay, you guys again, I'm a fan of fans, I cannot sleep without a fan lucky for me. I had yes, I had a little portable fan that was like like ager fan.

JJ 43:46

I had it like You're like a fan ambassador.

Matty 43:50

It is. So it's 10 pm on my birthday eve. I'm like, well, I might as well go to bed. I have no power, no lights, no TV, so I'm in bed. I'm propping this tiny little fan up. I'm so annoyed, and that's when I pull it out like storms crossing the line.

Birthday Rain and Show Wrap-up

Megan O 44:08

I guess, Is that how I would frame it? No power no power. No power, but like. Make it simple, Okay. No power, but like.

Matty 44:16

I also would rather put it on like the storms fall like crossing a line, okay, All right, Because like. I don't want to some, yeah, okay.

Megan O 44:28

I. I don't want to sound yeah, okay, I'll leave it there. I'll leave it there. I love you Mom. Yeah, we had a special pull-it-out come in from one of our listeners.

Matty 44:32

Oh, this is a bonus poll.

Megan O 44:33

Yep, a bonus poll from Kim in Huntington Woods and her pull-it-out, which I 100% agree with, is reCAPTCHA.

JJ 44:43

I'm not sure what that is.

Megan O 44:44

You don't know what recaptcha is Are these like a million little boxes.

JJ 44:48

Maybe if you explain it to me. Can you put it in a sentence for me?

Matty 44:51

Well, when you're trying to log into a website, when you're trying to recaptcha a bunny that got loose.

Megan O 44:58

No, when you go to log into a website, they give you a picture with all these squares on it and then they'll say select all the squares with a bicycle. It's a bicycle, it's a bus, it's a bridge, it's a sign, it's a nightmare.

Matty 45:13

But the problem is there's five boxes that are obvious and then there's one like does the bumper carry over into this square?

Megan O 45:23

Yeah, exactly, I'm not sure it's a nightmare. I hate them so thank you for that.

Matty 45:28
