As much as possible as I can, it's just been crazy.

Matty:

Here in the D it's either 95 degrees or I'm losing my power because of the thunderstorms. Yes, yeah.

Megan:

Very true. I was at the Tigers game yesterday and the Tigers won. Yay for us. But I'll tell you like it was a hot one. But it was so nice walking through downtown detroit. I parked by the piston stadium, little caesar's arena for those who know, I know, but it was so fun because when I was walking back from the tigers game, which was at comarica park, I walked by little caesar Arena and the Pistons were holding this big community event, and so there were all these people milling around Right, yeah, it was really cool.

Megan:

So I love it when the D is vibrant and has all sorts of action, especially when it's like 95 degrees, it is definitely the beginning of summer.

JJ:

Yeah, yes, yeah.

Megan:

So we've had a lot more listener feedback and one of our slippers has clearly not been to Denny's, so we had black eyed. Shame, I know who. Who could ever resist?

Matty:

a Denny's. I mean it might be generational, but no, the Denny's are a hot commodity anywhere.

JJ:

I haven't been to Denny's in so long. Oh, I'll take you there so.

Megan:

Megan:

Oh, it still is. It's my dream sandwich. It's an amazing sandwich of grilled artisan bread, scrambled eggs, swiss cheese and American cheese and ham. But let me tell you I used to be pescatarian and it is also delicious without the ham. But let me tell you, I used to be pescatarian and it is also delicious without the ham.

JJ:

Well, Megan's version of pescatarian is pretty much like the version of Ramona being vegetarian, with the side of bacon.

Megan:

No, when I was pescatarian, I didn't eat any meat.

Matty:

I remember the day you told me I'm a vegetarian except for bacon. Well, that's when I was pescatarian, I didn't eat any meat. I remember the day you told me I'm a vegetarian except for bacon.

Megan:

Well, that's when I was tiptoeing back into the world of meat.

Matty:

Okay, but.

Megan:

I was a solid pescatarian for about six, seven years.

JJ:

All right, okay, I'll give that to you.

Megan:

Getting back to Black Eyed.

JJ:

Susan, check my.

Matty:

Let's go back to.

Megan:

Black Eyed Susan is not done.

Matty:

She wants merch. I want to give Black Eyed Susan some merch. I've got some merch ideas. So, black Eye, here's what you need to do. You need to spread the word, get the listeners. We need the support to then create the merch. So spread the word. We got merch.

Megan:

We're ready for it. We're ready for merch. Stay tuned, keep listening and get your friends to listen, there's some slipper.

JJ:

Merch that. And black eyed susan, like I was gonna say like yeah, I'm assuming that your name is susan azuz. Don't call me. Um, tell us what you want. You want a t-shirt, you want some slippers?

Megan:

we get you some we love our slippers and we had another slipper. Brian from Canada cannot get enough of the commentary about JJ's short shorts.

JJ:

Get in line. Oh my god.

Megan:

These short shorts. And when it's 95, believe me, they get shorter and shorter.

JJ:

I've been rocking those short shorts like nobody's business.

Megan:

They've gotten a few inches shorter. They're no longer five inchers, they're now two.

Matty:

Well, that seems more like a speedo.

Megan:

Well, they're border, yeah, they're borderline.

Matty:

Borderline Borderline 100.

Megan:

So, Maddie, you told us about a puppy that reached out to you on a dating app. Did you ever go out on a date with him?

Matty:

Was it out to you on a dating app? Did you ever go out on a date with him? Was it a puppy or furry? No, it was. It was a someone that identified as a puppy. Oh yeah, I mean, they didn't even have to say it, their oh, their photo was a full-on profile pic. I don't even know what you call them like snout mask.

Megan:

They had a snout a snout like a dog, like a dog's nose yeah pigsigs have snouts Dogs. Oh well no, dogs do have snouts Now that you say that.

Matty:

All right, let me boo-doo, boo-doo, boo-boo-boo. Yeah, dogs have snouts as well, I think. But so I was not attracted, because that's not my thing but I was.

JJ:

It was not a connection.

Matty:

It was a difference between attraction and fascination, and I was fascinated so I did have a conversation with the puppy to just ask and learn but no, no no dating, no dates, no, nothing, but like a S a nice civil conversation which and I feel felt like I learned a few things and I thought that was great. But dating in general, I'm ready to open up the conversation about it, Like I think that would be a nice little topic for us to dive into.

Megan:

Well, you, know I'm a dating expert. Oh, okay, here we go, I am 100%.

JJ:

Here we go, 100% Well that's what Maybe 10, 11 years ago. I don't think that now you're an expert. Yeah for the record.

Matty:

you've been partnered for how many years?

Megan:

For a while we don't need to get into the exact time, but the year before I met the doctor I went on 100 first dates. Correct, I'm an expert at working those days.

Matty:

I'm an expert of witnessing you go on those 100 first dates because you lived with me. When it would happen, I would be literally I'm laying on the couch thinking, oh, she'll come out of her room at any moment in her sweats and we'll watch a movie or watch some TV. Nope, she comes out completely dialed up. It's like a Sunday at two. I'm like where are you going? She's like I've got a date, and it was one date, two days, a hundred first dates.

JJ:

I saw her in the wild a couple times, and I mean I, I was on my own with my friends and there she was, on a date. Well, there was one time that I thought that she was not on a date well, we were so used to megan being on dates, const that, um, I was like oh, megan, matt maddie like megan. I saw megan with a guy at the bar, like, and they were, I think that she was going on a date. No, she was with a gay guy.

Megan:

Yeah, I have my gay guy.

Matty:

Still, all right, she fit in at a gay end. I always have room for the gays as the hag she is.

Megan:

Yeah, I have rooms for the gays at all times.

JJ:

Yeah, but we try. You know, dating is a complicated situation. Are you dating? I well, what do you mean by dating then?

Matty:

Well, you and I used to date. We are now both obviously single, and it's been five years.

JJ:

It's been five. Yeah, it's been five years. You get that right.

Matty:

You said, I miss it by a year or something.

JJ:

It has been five years.

Matty:

So it's been five years. I've I I mean covid was in the mix there's but like yeah, I'm like I'm out there trying to date but like it ain't fun, I don't love it.

JJ:

But I'm only. How about you? Yeah, I'm only asking that because I don't know what your concept of dating is, especially after five years not true.

Matty:

True, you know, but you know that.

Megan:

I mean it like Dating means you've gone on a date, you're dating, you go on dates with people.

JJ:

No, that's what dating is.

Megan:

And then, if you've been, on a date more than one date with the same person you're dating them.

JJ:

You're not in a relationship. You are going on dates.

Megan:

You haven't DTR, you know what that is.

JJ:

No, tell me that, oh my define the relationship dtr look at see.

Megan:

I told you I'm the expert in dating. I mean trumped you.

Matty:

You might have googled some shit but, you're not enough listen I will take it. I will take it a step further and say if I go on one date with one person and then second, no, sorry, one date with one person, another date with a second person, that's totally different than the first person, correct?

Megan:

I'm still dating yeah, 100%, because I'm doing I'm dating.

Matty:

I went on a date here, I went on a date there.

Megan:

You're dating, I'm dating. You're dating. You're not in a relationship. You're dating.

Matty:

Correct.

JJ:

Okay, we will be let's give him a moment.

Megan:

What is it in your book?

JJ:

So if you are going on multiple dates, even if you were to go into more than just one date with the first person, you are still going on dates with that individual or individuals. Yeah, dating. I personally, can you? You told me that.

Matty:

I was. I was giving the floor.

JJ:

I was giving the floor for a second but it is blasphemy what it is considered on my books as dating is when you officially you've done in two, three dates and you like that person and it's like you make it official, you're no longer going on to the apps and you're not. We're not, you're exclusive to each other. It's not boyfriend and girlfriend and boyfriend and boyfriend, girlfriend, girlfriend, but you are dating to figure it out if this is going to be official. So that is a dating for me. If you're going just on dates, you're not really dating. I think that if you're doing, if you're saying that you're giving bad signals to that person, that is still probably dating somebody else I feel like it has nothing.

Matty:

Well, I also don't feel like it is about giving a signal to that person. It's about me. I'm going on one date, two dates, three dates. I'm dating, you're dating, we can we can.

JJ:

We can argue this six days and I, three dates I'm dating. We can argue this six days to Sunday. I'm going to say this Slippers, if you're on my side please slip on those DMs. I cannot wait for us to prove Megan and Maddie wrong.

Matty:

I mean it's just if you look it up in Miriam Baxter Bernie's.

Megan:

Miriam Webster.

Matty:

But if JJ says if you go on several dates, you're not dating. By definition, plural dates is dated. We got a lot to get through.

JJ:

By the way, in regards of dating, just a little fact I've been 30 days not being in any of the dating apps.

Megan:

No dating apps for for jj. Well, that's a travesty. That's the only way people meet people nowadays.

Matty:

I'm on instagram well, exactly, he used like, so that's kind of another yeah it's like well, you're saying you're not on dating apps, but you're treating instagram I'm an app, but that's not a dating app but you're leveraging it as if it were yes, it happens organically, yes, or if I just happen to like a picture of it like a picture or a short short for me Strategically, like a picture you can like.

Megan:

Andy Cohen's pictures all day long and John Hill and I don't think they're going to get a date out of it.

JJ:

I am constantly trying to find. I mean not anymore this month because I'm not in the app anymore, but when I was in the apps I was always talking Andy Cohen and John Hills whenever they were on the grinder and the hinge. I just changed my location to New York or Los Angeles if. I'm looking into John Hill and I look into what's happening with them.

Matty:

Short, short lovers beware. Yes, there is a location change up in here.

Megan:

Yeah, Well, let me tell you, I think both of you need to get on Raya and we need to get you on Raya.

Matty:

So if any slipper out, there wait, if any slipper out there is listening.

Megan:

We need a sponsor for Maddie and JJ to get them on Raya, I'll take a sponsor.

Matty:

Here's what I'm on. I'm on Hinge. I'm on. I'm on Hinge, I'm on Facebook dating and I'm on Tinder and I hate Tinder. I don't really it's there. I don't like it.

JJ:

But there's a lot of Bitcoin. There's a lot of Bitcoin.

Matty:

I know Like a lot of people like three texts in, like I'm a financial planner. Yeah you invest, I'm like, oh, but megan raya not I've until, honestly, pre-production. When you're like I'm going to talk about raya, I'm like I, honest to god, have never heard of it, so I'm here for it. I told you don't tell me. I want to learn in real time.

Megan:

Bring it raya is the exclusive app for creatives and a lot of stars and celebrities are on raya. Charlie's theron is on raya, andy cohen's on raya. Why am I getting crickets about?

JJ:

raya.

Megan:

Andy is not a big fan of raya well, he's on it, but I like, how does it's been on it? Christian cavallari's on it for creatives yes, so what box do?

Matty:

I check podcaster and therefore I'm creative yes, 100, but you're also very naturally creative.

JJ:

But you're not just a podcaster, you are digital entrepreneur yeah, but you can't get on raya without a sponsor. Yes, you need a sponsor. Oh so, are you on it? No, because you're, you're, no. Are you on it? Jj, no, no.

Megan:

Are you on it, JJ? No, I cannot. You need a sponsor. Well, I didn't know what he's doing. That's what I'm asking the slippers for. We need a sponsor for Maddie and JJ to get on Raya.

Matty:

But they probably got to vouch for me. How do they know what the hell I'm even creative about?

Megan:

They're listening to the bomb. Oh, fair, fair, fair.

Matty:

So if you're, listening right now and you think I'm really fucking creative. Sponsor me.

Megan:

It took you that long to understand what I was saying.

Matty:

I'm not logical.

Megan:

I'm creative.

Matty:

Oh wow, I created a monster, I feel like though I feel like that comes with a little added pressure. Like I'm on there, let's say, I get sponsored, I'm on there, they're going to expect. Like say, I get sponsored, I'm on there, they're going to expect like Van Gogh or like no, it's not.

JJ:

No, it's not like that, it's not. You're not a painter, or Cardi B.

Matty:

No, well, creative can be a lot of things to a lot of people.

Megan:

There's also a lot of entrepreneurs on there. There's also a thing like super wealthy people are on there.

Matty:

Well, okay, that's what I'm saying. You want to get on Raya, sponsor me.

JJ:

Yeah.

Megan:

If you're on multiple apps, which is my suggestion to anyone out there dating, it's not going to be one app. Usually it takes a few, and Raya is a great one to get on, if you can get on it.

Matty:

Can you spell Raya? No, you can't.

Megan:

It's R-y-a or r-i-a. I think it's r-a-y-a, but I don't know I'm not on it, I don't know.

Matty:

R-a-y-a, that's what I thought oh, that's what I thought.

JJ:

She says, I just oh, you did, I missed it sorry sorry, I was maybe you should listen. Raya r. Raya Raya R-A-Y-A.

Matty:

Perfect, perfect Sponsors Spons.

JJ:

Yeah, sponsor me.

Matty:

I mean, I'm not still I'm going to give it a few more days until I'm actually thinking about coming back to the apps. I don't pay for any premiums, so I'm limited to like two people liking me every week or all the ads and I'm like I don't know.

JJ:

I've just got so much going on. So, maddy, you that are on the apps and some of those apps and you already mentioned it I'm actually curious and Megan can you know, as she is the expert, she can just probably chime in on this when did you really transfer, because I'm not a big like really transfer, because I'm not a big like again, I'm not a big proponent of the app. So when do you transfer your conversation from the app to the actual phone?

Megan:

I do it. So my protocol this is mind you megan protocol, but it still works really in today's world later well, I advise all my girls who are dating. This is what they should do, and when they do it, they have good success okay.

Megan:

So you want to get out of the app to a phone to meeting in person. Sometimes you can be app to scheduling your date and just meet in person. Otherwise you can also do a text or two or a phone call and then get into meeting in person, like my go-to. After like a text in the app once or twice I'd be like hey look, this is so much easier over the phone. Give me a call, here's my number.

Matty:

Or let's just meet and rely for a drink, but as somebody that went out on a hundred first dates, it seems like 99 didn't work out.

Megan:

A hundred percent.

JJ:

This is why you block those numbers.

Matty:

No, don't even start what is your like okay, what's your icebreaker for when you transfer? You're in the apps you transfer to text Like I don't know. Then then what you go out on a date like what's your icebreaker Like, how do you engage with them?

Megan:

On the date or to get to the date.

JJ:

You never talk about exes, that's for sure.

Megan:

Oh, I agree 100%.

Matty:

Well, what about the nuts?

Megan:

Well, I'm not thinking about nuts on a first date period. No nuts.

JJ:

You're not nutting on a first date you gotta stop.

Matty:

No, no, okay, stop. This is like a flashback no, nuts this is a date nuts day. Okay, we're talking about three different kinds of nuts. My nut is not about nutting or not what is nutting? Oh god do we have to go there.

JJ:

No, megan, really I mean, it's a it's, if you're. Can I say what I want to?

Matty:

like I'm gonna say something then we'll backtrack real quick. But, like last episode, I said my goal and it was a side tangent and I I said I'd bring it back. I'm bringing it back this. I tested on my last dating episode that I went on and it was a hit, even though we didn't continue on. But I said what are your favorite three nuts? And it stops people in their tracks Because suddenly you're like is it pistachio? Is it almond? What do I do with the cashew? Like it's like. And then there's just the general peanut Right. And then I said I think your nuts are going to change in a couple of days, so text me your new nuts when they change, cause you're going to get home and you're going to be like thinking about it. Now I've dropped this nut thing down and nutting has come up, and nuts have come up and you're thinking ball sack and you're thinking come. Who said that?

Megan:

Oh.

JJ:

Well, she didn't know about nutting.

Megan:

No, I'm like hashtag.

JJ:

Nutting is coming. Nutting is like when yeah, nutting, howard Stern uses it all. Yeah, and you're a big fan. I do love.

Matty:

Howard, If you're like wow, I saw that individual over there. It almost made me nut. Oh really, you would say that, and I think when I said Interesting. But when I said what about the nuts, you went to balls.

JJ:

Yeah, when Matt went into the nuts, I went into cum.

Matty:

This is nut gate. Nut gate up in here.

Megan:

Yeah, it is nut gate, but I do like a top three nuts.

JJ:

And I can tell you.

Megan:

I've been thinking about my top three, I think I'm like already. Yeah, Cashew, pistachio smoked almond.

JJ:

Oh, it has to be smoked. Well, wasabi almond meat.

Matty:

And I will say this listen for the record in case anyone's listening and was listening to the Handsome podcast I have to give credit to that podcast who had a caller that called in and asked those people, those hosts, and they're like, wow, what a great question. And I just feel like it has legs and I wanted to bring it over here. So I'm not stealing content, I'm a creative from the get-go Raya sponsor.

Megan:

So you then took it from Handsome and brought it into your dating life. Yeah, oh, I love that and it was a hit. I am struggling.

JJ:

I love that and it wasn't it.

Megan:

I am struggling because now that I think about it more. I am Because I can't stop thinking about you know, I like sometimes get caught up on things and can't let it go. But I'm, what about a honey roasted?

JJ:

Yeah, like, how do I?

Megan:

bring that in, I've got a cashew, a honey roasted, a pistachio and a smoked almond.

Matty:

I don't know where to go with that. Well, we're going to have to. This is a cliff. We're going to have to revisit it because your nuts can change from week to week, right, jj. You know, whether it's a short short or real short short your nuts are going to change.

Megan:

Well, you better not go too short, or some nuts are going to be out and about. They're going to change something up in here.

JJ:

I'm just loving the conversation that we went from dating to nutting.

Megan:

I don't think we went to nutting. No nutting happened.

JJ:

I don't have sex in the first place. I think it's very closely tied.

Matty:

Yeah, speaking of nuts, how about hot topic time?

JJ:

Yeah.

Matty:

This shit is nuts, right, and shit is the key word, like, if you are, unless you're living under a rock. You have either watched or talk to your coworkers about the poop cruise. So let's break down this shit. It's a shit-uation. We're bringing it in, I mean, or maybe, in this case, maybe it's a ship-'re bringing. Yeah, I mean, or maybe in this case, maybe it's a shipuation but it's a I mean, this is nuts, this is my top, not megan this might be my your top, but it's gonna change it.

Matty:

It's yeah, it's crazy. So did you guys have you guys watched it or just talked about it, or I watched it.

Megan:

yeah, I, I've heard I watched it. I haven't watched it yet. I've heard lots of stories about it and it seems so disgusting. I've gone to like turn it on a couple of times and I'm like I just don't think I can deal with the shit.

Matty:

It is, and I haven't turned it on A piece of work. I thought it was going to be an episodic program.

Megan:

You can wrap this shit up in 45 minutes and you have?

Matty:

oh, it's only a 45 minute show. Yeah, I like that. Oh, I thought it was a couple hours you were thinking you had to devote like uh, like a full, like I'm gonna like binge this shit. Yeah, you don't have, it's like one and done. Oh, good, good, it's a number two, it's a number two, one and done so what's?

Megan:

there's so many opportunities here to use little puns. The basic facts I've heard is that this was a short cruise and several days into it the boat lost power, which also shut out all its plumbing, and then all the toilets and things backed up.

Matty:

Yeah, let me give you a little bit of the factuals. It was a three-day cruise. I've been on one myself, you know.

Matty:

you just do a quick little bahamas yep, and then the engine did catch on fire. It disabled the ship and they were about 150 miles off of the yucatan penance. And and then the not only did they lose power, but it also knocked out the plumbing. Okay, so I'm putting myself in their shoes, right? So, like I, it's like being at home. The power goes out, you're like it'll come back on whatever, right. And so, like then, at first it was all like, oh, my God, you know, and they were one day like they were going to be in port in Mexico the next day.

Megan:

So you're like one day. So you're like one day.

Matty:

So they're like we're. You know we're at the end of the cruise, they had had a blast, blah, blah, blah. Then the power goes out and then you know you don't jump to the conclusions of what ultimately happened, because they ended up being out there three extra days, wow, and with no power, no power and so and a lot with no power no power and so like.

JJ:

So no plumbing, no air conditioning. Uh, so you're no tv, you're dead, no tv. This might sound very ignorant of me. So if a cruise just doesn't have any power, so are they just stranded on the water?

Matty:

yeah, they're basically just floating.

JJ:

They just well, okay, they're floating.

Matty:

So I I mean sysic people like they're like if you're, if the motor isn't, even the engines are not running.

JJ:

They're like you're, you're just going with the waves.

Matty:

Oh, god, you are, yeah, you are at the mercy of mother nature. Basically, you're in the middle of the ocean. You're on this huge basically they even say it in the show you're like on a skyscraper on inside, basically, and you're just going through the the thing. So they're out there and then, like it, over time, it starts to get more desperate and they realize they cannot use the bathrooms and so, like I don't, I don't know. There are some funny moments like funny. Like not like don't put me on that fucking ship, but like funny as a viewer watching this. Be like they come over the announcement speaker at one point and be like hello, passengers, it was this woman that had a beautiful little fun voice.

Matty:

Like sorry for the inconvenience, but we're about to walk around and pass out these little red bags. What you should do in these is, if you have to take a number one, pee in the shower. If you have to take a number two, please poop in these red bags, can you? Yeah, I mean for a moment, for a moment, pause in your mind and just think about, like not just the fact of having to shit in a a plastic bag, but like the logistics of it, like how am I going to? How am I gonna.

JJ:

How am I gonna? Squat and hold the bag, yeah, and get this, and it's not a we're not talking a Trader Joe's grocery bag.

Megan:

This is like a little red bag, like and so it's not even like a garbage, like trash bag no, no, we're talking like a like a vomit bag on a plane yeah, like a ziplock, like oh my god not to be too, like descriptive of anything but no, not poops are the same shape consistency.

JJ:

Can you imagine a cruise passengers descriptive of anything but not all poops are the same shape consistency.

Matty:

Can you imagine a cruise passenger's poop? After three days of drinking.

JJ:

With the buffet. The buffet.

Matty:

Like I've had 15 Malibu rums and I've had four pizzas and all these french fries, and now you want me to poop in a little red bag? Yeah, no.

Megan:

No, I'm out.

Matty:

Well was there alcohol available for this Great question, because usually alcohol will take care of a lot of things.

JJ:

What hurts?

Matty:

Here's what they did they stopped alcohol service.

JJ:

Oh, my God, why, megan? What would you do there, like you have?

Matty:

nothing to do Because the lights and the power are out. So like, let's just hold on though Wait for it. So then it goes into day number two, and people are very frustrated. At this point, people are pulling mattresses out of their beds and putting them on the balconies, they're taking their sheets and creating tents out of the pool chairs.

Megan:

I mean, it is getting like Lord of-, because it was so hot.

Matty:

Well, yeah, you don't have air in your room.

JJ:

You want to be outside. Can you imagine those little yeah, right, yeah so they're.

Matty:

Yeah, so like they. It was stifling and plus your toilets backed up and you're pissing in your shower.

Megan:

You're like, get me out of this room. Yeah, right, no, exactly right, yeah, and so they're pulling these things out.

Matty:

And then it's starting to get lord of the flies and like it's really kind of a study in society. Like people were getting aggressive, like this is our space, these are our chairs. Like get away, these are my family members. So like people went from like doing the Macarena two days earlier and doing the centipede on the floor, like really heavy set men.

Matty:

It's in the show and then to like get the fuck away from my yeah chair I get it, because I this is my tent like self-preservation anyway, and this is where, like if you were able to bring alcohol on, you would probably be like praising god if you hadn't opened those wine bottles yet, because you'd be like thank god, I've got something to drink whomever's worship so on day right, well, okay, yeah, well, this is gonna be inclusive right so day two rolls around and you know what fact check me slippers, because it could be day day number two but like not day two of the cruise, but day two of no power, somebody sitting around the committee table with the employees was like listen, the one thing that can make these people happy, let's just open up the bar. Yes, so they did Smart.

Megan:

Smart. They opened up the bar, oh, and I'm sure everyone was like going Gangbusters.

Matty:

Everyone went out of their mind getting all of these. I love it, All of these drinks, and everyone started getting wasted. But like to me, I'm like you know, when you're drinking, you got to pee more and just more stuff.

Matty:

And so then it got so out of control. People were getting crazy, drunk, out of control and acting badly and just consuming alcohol and eating onion sandwiches. Like people were waiting in two hours in a line for what would normally be the buffet line. They'd get up there and it was soggy bread, onion and tomato or something like that.

Megan:

And they'd be like. I'll take ten of those.

Matty:

Because they were hoarding them and bringing them into their.

Megan:

Oh my god, I was just like a little butter and bread. I'll survive.

JJ:

Especially if you don't know how many more days you have on this cruise, Megan.

Matty:

Some people thought they were dying. Have you ever had wet bread? Wet bread.

JJ:

Why was the bread wet?

Matty:

I'm not sure, but they say I think from the like tomato juice. Well, can I just have butter, and bread. You might, I don't know, I would do a little bread and butter.

JJ:

It takes you two hours to get bread and butter. Do you do like some butter? So?

Megan:

then people got.

Matty:

People got so nuts that they we gotta shut this shit down.

Megan:

So then they shut down? Oh my god, that sounds like a nightmare. They shut it off.

Matty:

So it's like bringing a kid to a candy store. So it was insane and I will say sidebar, because I'm famous for a sidebar. There were these three white women in like they they had like three different people like that they were interviewing and they would cut to these three white women several times that were on a bachelor cruise. I think they're getting a lot of bad press and follow up. I've seen a lot of comments on social but like everything they would be like I know it's hot and I know I'm sleeping outside, but like where's my margarita?

Megan:

They were pissed about that bar getting shut back down.

Matty:

I got and they were like. They are like. This is the best thing I've ever seen when they turn the bar on.

JJ:

And then they shut it off.

Matty:

Then they went back into, like I want to make a deal, okay, I'm going to, we can wrap this shit up, but like I want to say this, a couple of things real quick. Finally, tugboats come.

JJ:

This is the worst, grossest thing, best day ever, probably.

Matty:

So they thought these tiny little tugboats show up. They hook their little ropes up and one tugboat this is from what I'm seeing. I don't think the two tugboats that they had pulled together at the same time so they didn't do a one, two, three tug. One tugboat started to go and suddenly the cruise ship went onto a 45-degree angle. So what does that mean? All the piss, shit and the toilets and the showers spilled out.

Megan:

Oh, my God.

Matty:

And so people were literally you. There were clips of people like in flip flops, with feces water above their shoe oh my God, what a nightmare.

Megan:

How?

Matty:

much do you think, carnival, sorry.

Megan:

Oh, this was a Carnival cruise.

Matty:

Well, this is why I don't do it. Yeah, I won't do it. Sorry, kathy Lee.

Megan:

Allegedly I won't do Carnival. No, I'm a virgin.

JJ:

Well, virgin cruise you mean?

Matty:

Yes, but here let me ask you guys, if you were on that cruise and you were experiencing all of this stuff, what do you think like? Just throw out a gut wrench, like a figure like what do you think you deserve in return?

Megan:

$250,000.

Matty:

Well, yeah, I mean, you could really get sepsis and die. Yeah, if you had an open cut on your yes, if you stubbed your toe on day one through three.

Megan:

Plus, I think, the emotional distress A hundred percent Of opening that bar and then closing it. Oh, it's back to the bar you should have been in this, it's back to the bar.

Matty:

You should have been in this fucking bachelorette party. I don't want to be drinking, though, in the heat and stifle and the like. I don't want to pee more. I don't want to shit.

Megan:

What else are you gonna fucking do also next time?

JJ:

any of this, it's a cannot next time any of these passengers will go into any kind of event that there's a portal party. There is a situation happening.

Matty:

Yeah, this ptsd of going back to this cruise, I mean yeah thousands of dollars have to be given to me in order for me to yeah, there was even a moment where they were singing verses from the bible. I'm like oh, really, it was like a yeah, praise something, and like everyone knew the words, Again, I need alcohol. Right and $250,000.

JJ:

So here's what they got. No, here's what they got.

Matty:

This is a word to the wise and I don't do it, but if you want to read the fine print, maybe you should. We all signed these cruise contracts. You get on the cruise they got. Their cruise was paid for Fair. They got a $500 voucher. What For a future cruise? Oh no, as if I'm going to go on a carnival cruise ever again in my life.

Megan:

That's not enough for what they went through. They ended up getting $500.

JJ:

Do you say $500? They went through, they ended up getting $500.

Matty:

Do you say $500? Yeah Well, and they got. So they ended up getting tugged into mobile Alabama because I didn't say this but, like when you to your point about being dead in the water, they were supposed to go into Mexico. They drifted 150 more miles away from Mexico and then they're like somebody's like oh, now we're closer to Alabama than Mexico, why don't we go there? So then everyone's like Holy shit, that means two more days. So anyway, long story short, they get pulled into mobile Alabama and then they paid for their transportation home because obviously you didn't make travel.

Matty:

So those are what you got. That's what you got. No, I will say, if you watch it, there is a segment in there where there's um uh attorney I don't know his name, but like, apparently his job is to like look for opportunities to bring class actions. He saw it unfold. They're interviewing him. He sees this as an opportunity. Apparently they did. He did like do a case afterwards. So there were like 3000 people, uh cruisers on the boat, additional thousand employees. But if you signed up to be part of, I guess, the class action you then were, you got he settled in carnival, settled, uh, settled undisclosed terms. So people got anywhere from five to $15,000. If you didn't participate and many didn't you got nothing but your voucher.

Megan:

Well, this is why I always say any class action notice I get, I sign up.

JJ:

I'm in it, I sign up and.

Megan:

I, you know what.

JJ:

I've got lots of money in these.

Megan:

Well these class actions will pay out.

Matty:

You better effing believe I'd sign up for this one. Sometimes it's $2, sometimes it's $1,000. If I had shit on my feet and between my toes, under my fingernails and toenails, I'd be signing up for this class action 100%. But I don't know why some people got $5, some got $15.

JJ:

Depending on the level of the poop.

Matty:

Well, one the experience one person threw their red bag off the balcony top and it hit another passenger on the lower. So 15 for that person.

JJ:

That's disgusting well, well well that is definitely a situation um 100% just told us about, but I think that it's time for me to bring in yeah, we, we, yeah, I'll. Yeah, I'll definitely want to watch. I'm, I, it's on my list, I'm going to watch it, um, but I think it's time for a little bit of a review, so to, so that we can just get out of that shit show in there. Yeah, um, so slippers block it up. Um, literally and emotionally, as we sink in our teeth with a gummy treat here.

JJ:

I have a sweet treat for you, and it's the Almost Peelers right here. For us, this is a tiktok trend, oh so before you go in. No, I'm gonna give you some facts this is something that I want to. I want to set the stage for you. This is a dual texture gummy so it's tangy chewy, just so you have to peel on the outside what? And this is a sweet on the inside do I eat the peel?

JJ:

yes, you do. This is very tiktok famous, so people are talking about this on tiktok. Uh, it went viral for like how fun it is for like the textures there is with it.

Matty:

Yeah, go for it. There is a fruit flavor fantasy.

JJ:

So most popular flavors is the, the gummy peach that I'm bringing in today and the mango you have to no you cannot you have to peel it. You have to peel it. Oh, she put it in her mouth and she's taking it. What?

Megan:

am I peeling.

Matty:

You're peeling the gummy yeah, it's, oh, I see, oh, I see, like so it's a peelable fun that's already gross to me.

JJ:

I'm not happy, no well that's the reason why I wanted to get that in.

Matty:

So it's a cute and quirky it is a weird brand, it's a weird experience.

Megan:

I don't want to get all my hands dirty with this but you have to eat the peel as well. Oh, well then, why do I peel it?

JJ:

because it's a fun experience of a gummy you eat and there's two textures, like there is a tangy one and the sweet one in the middle.

Matty:

I like both of my experiences, the outer and inner well, you know what that's good I like it, do you like?

JJ:

reviews yes, I've had it for a few. Uh, I've had the, the, the oh, you have a different peach one and the mango ones. Uh, before there is a different shape for the mango, so you can see it and you can peel it differently.

Matty:

I'm enjoying it.

JJ:

Honestly, on the TikTok the reviews are like it's a big debate, people like it or people don't like it.

Matty:

I like it. I think you have that happening right here. She doesn't seem to.

JJ:

And she usually is a gummy person. So I thought this would be a great way to add it To the debate of having a sweet treat, because we all love a sweet treat she does not.

Matty:

Where can one buy these?

JJ:

so you can get them online with amos peelers. Um, there is a few um like sweet and you know candy stores around town. Um, I was able to get one in the Oakland Mall here in Metro Detroit I'm having more.

JJ:

So you can get either the peach, which is the gummy peach, or the mango. There is a lychee version. There is a banana version of it too. I like banana, but the fun thing is, like this company, amos, is known to be like a more fun. They tried to bring in like the nostalgia, those um treats that we had when we were growing up in the 80s and the 90s, and they wanted to just make it fun with the peel and two different textures.

Matty:

I'm, I'm out, I'm on board.

Megan:

Peel it up for me it doesn't do much for me. The flavor is not bad. I don't really enjoy the peeling, but it's. I wouldn't buy it. Okay, my fingers are sticky. Yeah, I don't like that. But.

Matty:

I don't really enjoy the peeling, but I wouldn't buy it. My fingers are sticky. Yeah, I don't like that, but I don't mind that.

Megan:

That's the dream of like an M&M, where you can eat a candy and not get your hands sticky. It's not about M&Ms, it's about the peelers.

JJ:

And the review is in. Maddie is in Maddie gives out of 8, out of 10, sorry.

Matty:

I would give it a 7.5. Alright.

Megan:

I'll give it a 5.

JJ:

Oh, you give it a 5. Okay, I give it a 7.5.

Megan:

Yeah.

JJ:

I just wanted to slip that in for you. I do like it.

Matty:

Megan:

Matty:

He is shopping at Target all on his own, no security, and he's doing the self-checkout. I love it.

Megan:

Skittles A hundred percent. I did not.

Matty:

Yeah, so we'll see Same my turn. Yeah, go for it. My slip it in, since we talked earlier about dating is just mustaches. I am, I can't. If you have a mustache, you go to the top of the list. I just cannot get enough. A mustache in the wild is just.

JJ:

It doesn't matter the shape of the mustache.

Megan:

What about the color?

Matty:

What do you mean? I don't love a blonde mustache. I don't think.

JJ:

Yeah, exactly I like a brunette mustache.

Matty:

But like to your point about the style, like I don't want a handlebar per se, I mean I could like I just like a don't go crazy, don't have all like don't know what a handlebar is you don't know, a handlebar mustache.

Matty:

Okay, we don't have time we don't have time, but google, chad, gpt, uh, but like I do, like I just don't, like, don't go, like I'm not gonna date somebody that's gonna have an hour to get ready, get their mustache ready, but just like a mustache, like okay, I'm feeling very negative this episode because I cannot stand a mustache in any form.

Megan:

It is a no If.

JJ:

I saw a guy Well, you don't like facial hair period, I don't like facial hair, and my least favorite facial hair is a mustache as of tonight if you have a mustache and you're eating a peeler, oh my God, slip that in.

Megan:

I'm a no to both.

Matty:

All right, my bullet out is ducks on dashboards.

JJ:

I need some help.

Matty:

I need to help, need some help from the community.

Megan:

A slipper Call me.

Matty:

Because I used to have a Jeep. I used to have to wave at other Jeeps Apparently now. I mean, like you drive by a jeep and there are 100 little rubber duckies I have not seen this.

Megan:

Oh what now?

Matty:

it's not everywhere now that I've told you you won't be able to not see it. You look at it. It is crazy. Like what in the f is going on? Like what do these ducks mean?

JJ:

I have not. Well, it's like you've been ducked and then, from one Jeep to the other, they just put a little duck on the handle.

Matty:

You have no clue yes, 100%. You've done duck research.

JJ:

No, but I have friends that have Jeep and they just exchange it with each other. So that is like the recognition of you have a Jeep, I have a Jeep.

Matty:

You're a 40-year-old person, stop. You don't need 25 ducks on your dashboard Like, are you putting a little scotch tape? How are they? I can't.

Megan:

Well, if I had a Jeep and I was driving it and someone put a duck on me, I would throw that right out, put a duck on you. Well, put a duck on my Jeep. No, it's okay, you don't get it.

JJ:

No it's on my Jeep. No, it's Okay, you don't get it. No, it's on the dashboard.

Megan:

No, but you're saying that people give you ducks if you have a Jeep.

JJ:

They just leave it on the handle when you open the door.

Megan:

Yeah, so my point is I see the duck, I pick it up and toss it. This needs to transition into a future hot topic because I'm learning a lot of ducks.

JJ:

I want to share my slip of the hand for today's episode. One of my newfound artists that I love her is Renee Rapp. She was part of the sex lives of college girls in MEX and she just announced her new tour. Bite Me Tour, bite Me, it's called Bite Me Tour. Oh wow, yes, I love me some renee.

Matty:

Um, she's so witty and she's so funny and um, she's just unhinged like our slippers that show she was on like was doing really well and when she left the show collapsed oh, it's part of one of her new songs. She's talking about it okay, well, look at me, it got canceled right Sex Lives.

Megan:

It was college girls.

Matty:

But she left the show and it just fell apart.

Megan:

I like the show. I'm sad it got canceled.

JJ:

Go to her, bite me, she said I live the sex lives and the show ain't fucking.

Megan:

That's part of the lyrics right there. Oh really, that sounds intriguing.

JJ:

And my pull it out is because, as you've heard, I've had a recent injury in my foot and because of that, for a month now, I've not been able to do leg day oh, I didn't realize that so no videos but yeah, but I thought you weren't doing legs because you were doing some deep bends and had an injury from some of your deep bends.

JJ:

Well, the listeners maybe don't know that JJ is a fabulous dancer, but his dances sometimes come with a big drop and bend in his dance moves and sometimes my wardrobe might get red. It might malfunction.

Megan:

He loves a onesie, and those onesies can't always handle those big bends.

JJ:

But that's not my pullout. My pullout is the fact. It's not your pullout. You have another pullout. No, my pullout is the fact she just derailed me for the deep end. My pullout is the fact that I'm not being able to do leg day. So, I cannot wait for it to get back to it at some point. So if, megan, if you missed, the videos.

Matty:

Well, maybe you should just be a little more careful on the dance floor Maybe. I mean it's going to cost you a month of leg days, like calm down when when the Rihanna comes on.

Megan:

And there goes those short shorts, yeah.

JJ:

A leg day for every man is very, very important. It boosts your testosterone. You know what? It's very important. What I would say if you can't do, legs, just grow out your stash, oh God.

Megan:

I hate these stashes and legs. That's what you can do in the interim, okay, well, I think it's time to say thank you all for slipping it in with us, and we have some big news for you.
