Megan: 0:21

Welcome, welcome, welcome everyone. We are back S it in with you, and today I have some interesting listener feedback from Dan in Salt Lake City. He says he's loving the podcast and he loves the chaos of it all. So shout out to Dan and his fabulous food truck, moe's Chicago Hot Dogs, on the road around Salt Lake City, known for their hot Italian beef a la the bear, if you're watching it. Okay.

JJ: 0:50

A la bear.

Megan: 0:51

Well, when you watch the bear, you're always wanting to have a hot Italian beef sandwich. I know you guys aren't bear watchers, so I have some listeners.

JJ: 1:00

I watched the first season and the second season. I did not like it at all Well.

Megan: 1:03

The third's amazing it's back on track.

Matty: 1:06

All right. Well, I have some listener feedback as well. This goes back to the pretzel rods.

Megan: 1:12

Oh my gosh, A dirty rod.

JJ: 1:14

I'm missing my pretzel rods today.

Matty: 1:16

Yeah, I'm sorry about that but, like a listener, sent me a Reader's Digest article. Oh, wow, I mean readers must be an aging listener of ours. Well you know, readersdigestcom.

Megan: 1:29

Ding ding, oh I didn't even know there was a readersdigestcom.

Matty: 1:32

Well, and they're, you know, they're rdcom, rdcom.

Megan: 1:37

Oh wow, Very restoration hardware of them. Yes.

Matty: 1:46

Someone in the marketing department said you know what?

Megan: 1:47

we can be more relevant if we go from readers digest to rd. Anyway there is an article.

Matty: 1:50

It's called here's why chefs never order these seven foods in restaurants. So this article was forward to me by a listener to us to buy a listener. It's there are seven foods, but what I will just zero in on is the part that they highlighted in yellow to flag for you.

JJ: 2:11

For me yeah.

Matty: 2:13

I'll just read it, the seventh one in the article. The headline says some germs with your cocktail. There are germs everywhere. It says even if you're starving, while waiting for your table to be ready, avoid nibbling on bar snacks with that pre-dinner cocktail. The bowls are rarely washed between patrons, so you can pretty much be assured that many fingers other than your own have already dipped into that nut or pretzel bowl. So there you go.

JJ: 2:47

I mean, I think, it.

Matty: 2:48

I think it states the obvious. We already knew this, but I love that. A listener is like if you need a receipt to show him.

JJ: 2:58

I didn't need a receipt. I mean, I know that the pretzel rods might be a little bit saltier than others and depending on the bar.

Megan: 3:10

Well, didn't we hear from a friend of ours? Who used to be a bartender at that bar, that he would take a rod and lick the salt off and put it back in the bowl.

JJ: 3:15

Yeah, and that's what you're eating.

Megan: 3:16

I was not eating that after oh, I'm not sure you know, at 135 in the morning I would not.

JJ: 3:23

I I would immediately will notice if there was some salt or there was like a sucked rod when it's when it's a dimly lit bar and it's 1 45 am and you're looking for a snack after all those when you've sucked on, that rod is not as hard anymore wow, they were soggy anyway, because people kept spilling beers over them.

Matty: 3:46

This is innuendo. This is why I can't get an ad to post on X.

Megan: 3:51

What is going on with this nut campaign? You're posting on X, formerly known as Twitter, which is how I still like to call it.

JJ: 3:58

I'd still call it X. I love a little tweet I was trying to promote our three nuts, three top nuts.

Matty: 4:05

You know I was trying to promote an audio clip and they flagged me for twofold. They said well, we think the combination of slip it in and favorite nuts is innuendo and I'm like, I mean in my mind.

Megan: 4:26

I'm like yeah, maybe it's a double entendre.

Matty: 4:29

Maybe it is a double entendre, but in my mind I'm like in the reality. If you go to the clip, we are talking pistachios almonds cashews honey rose and let's not forget it Very naive nuts. Yes, everyone loves a nut and these are. These are suitable for work nuts if, however, 100 if you don't know already, when a certain person took over the platform, like there is wild wild west porn on there.

JJ: 5:02

They are nuts on the other side, yeah really I, I thought it was just words You're saying people are posting.

Matty: 5:07

What do you mean? Just words?

Megan: 5:08

I thought Twitter was all about just writing little.

Matty: 5:12

No, it's porn soup to nuts Porn. I mean you could put an SFW search term in there.

JJ: 5:19

It is the main source of porn.

Matty: 5:23

And meanwhile I can't get our.

Megan: 5:24

I'm trying to give them money to get our pistachio content elevated and they're like seems a little risque I'm like, yeah, does it, but there's full-on blowjobs being shown meanwhile, meanwhile, wow, yeah, it's too much.

JJ: 5:38

It is, it is talk about the top three knots so yeah, so what else has been going on?

Matty: 5:44

What's going on with your dad, megan?

Megan: 5:46

Well, I'm still trying to deal with this Canadian border situation for him. So I went actually to the courthouse today in East Lansing, michigan, to try and obtain this dispositive order from my dad's guilty plea to the snowball fight in 1964. And the woman at the courthouse was like well, were you here the other day with another gentleman who was looking for something similar? I'm like nope, this is the first time. She's like well, another guy was in here.

Megan: 6:19

And he's been going back and forth all the time to Canada and all of a sudden, sudden recently, he was not allowed in and he had some issue with his criminal history from like the 70s was he part of the snow fight?

Matty: 6:32

no, I told you guys, this before, but Canada doesn't fuck around, like if you've done one thing wrong, that is like a little yeah thing on your record, like they. They are like stay out yeah.

Megan: 6:45

So, basically what I learned, this criminal record history that I pulled from the state police's website, uh, shows everything that they have relating to this misdemeanor assault and they're like this judicial sentence section that's showing up, this is at all we would have. And I'm like, well, how do I tell them this is it? They're like it shows he pled guilty, it shows he paid a 19 fine and so that's it she's like we don't have like an formal order dismissing the case or something like that.

Megan: 7:20

there is nothing that exists, one due to the and two due to the type of crime it was. And then she also checked with the Michigan State Campus Police for me while I was there and they said they have nothing, no record, nothing. It doesn't exist what Canada wants. So hopefully they accept this criminal history report and my commentary and we'll give him his Nexus card.

Matty: 7:46

Meanwhile, does your dad even give a shit? Well, well, he's not really trying to get in canada, he was doing it for the getting the tsa pre-check and global entry and again, maybe, maybe, a little fishing.

Megan: 7:57

Well, maybe, but well, because you know canada only really wants to give this to people who are planning to use the fast lane to get in and out of Canada quick. But anyone out there, if you live near a Canadian border, you want to do Nexus. Fifty dollars Well fifty dollars and you get TSA pre-check and global entry and each of those on their own are like eighty five and one eighty five a piece.

JJ: 8:22

I wish we could get a Nexus code 85 and 185 a piece.

Matty: 8:23

I wish we could get a Nexus code Well and you can discover something that you didn't know was on your record from 70 years ago. Well, correct.

Megan: 8:30

Who knows what they're going to pull up. That's crazy. So anyway, I'll keep you posted if this card actually shows up, but we'll see what Canada says when I email them this information.

JJ: 8:41

I mean if Maddie and I need to testify. I mean about roger and your behavior.

Matty: 8:45

Yeah well, his character I've been like yeah, I mean, I guess, I didn't know, he had a whole different life assault history.

Megan: 8:52

Yeah like yeah, big in the snowballs who really I mean thinks that you're gonna throw a snowball on campus in college when you're not even of age to drink yet? Well, maybe in 1964 you could drink if you were under 21.

Matty: 9:06

Was it.

Megan: 9:06

I don't know when those drinking ages got put into place, wasn't that?

Matty: 9:09

prohibition no.

Megan: 9:11

That's the 20s.

Matty: 9:14

Okay, so I want to tell you guys something. So this wasn't necessarily coming through direct feedback through our channels and our social, but people in my orbit that listen to our podcast like I can't tell you how many people have brought up to me the conversation we had in the last recorded episode around my dentist.

Megan: 9:38

Oh, yeah, Well it's shocking.

JJ: 9:40

Yeah.

Matty: 9:41

Which is weird to me because I still, to me'm not in the mindset of I of it being shocking, although as people talk to me, I'm like maybe I should have made a bigger deal of it than I did at the time. But, like everyone is, like I can't believe you went back. I can't believe you didn't take some sort of action. Yeah, all of these things.

JJ: 9:59

I'm surprised Netflix hasn't called yet.

Matty: 10:02

I know so it is. I don't know so that. So people have really wanted to dive deeper, and so I've retold the story and retold the story. Okay, I'm not here to retell that story, but I am going to say that since the last time we came together, I had a doctor's appointment and I went to the my doctor. Now this is this is something that is not necessarily new, but, like since everyone was so shocked by my dentist appointment, let me tell you about this doctor's appointment. It has nothing to do with my actual doctor. Was there a case involved?

Matty: 10:38

No very my doctor's not the problem. I I don't know what do you call the person that's like coming in and taking the blood work? The nurse.

JJ: 10:50

The assistant.

Matty: 10:51

I don't know if she's really a nurse.

Megan: 10:53

Probably a med tech. Med tech Okay.

Matty: 10:55

And let's just call this med tech. I know her actual name, but I'm going to call her Barb.

JJ: 11:01

Yeah, I was thinking Betty, but Barb, so Barb um.

Matty: 11:06

Barb is a character she is. She's got like one of. She's got. No, no shame whatever, but like this she's sunburnt every minute of every time I've ever seen her.

Megan: 11:18

So she really so she's going to a Tanner, yeah.

Matty: 11:21

And it's you know how you pull up. She's also a smoker, so you know how like this has always got me, like when you pull up to your doctor's office and like health professionals are outside smoking.

JJ: 11:32

That's such a weird thing. Yeah, it is. It happens a lot.

Matty: 11:35

She's a big tanner, she's a big smoker, she's a big potty mouth. So the last time I went there, started off the conversation with me, like I can't do this anymore, maddie. These fucking young girls that the doctor has hired, they do not do anything. I'm fucking working my ass off. She's like I'm here till seven o'clock at night. I cannot, yeah, I can't. I can't deal with them anymore, I'll just vent.

Megan: 12:07

Wow, I love it. I'm going to call her bitching Barb, yeah. It's a bitchy Barb.

Matty: 12:13

And the other thing is she's discovered her and I have the exact same birth date.

Megan: 12:17

Oh God, so she she's connected.

JJ: 12:21

She brings this up every time. Every time.

Matty: 12:24

Okay, there was more said during that, but I'm going to go. That was two appointments ago. This last appointment that I had last week, again, it starts off very similar. But then she says to me she goes. I said you know whatever. I'm going to say again.

JJ: 12:39

You know, barb? Yeah, bitchy, barb, I said you crack me up.

Matty: 12:47

She's like? Well, you know what she's like. I used to drink a bottle of Hennessy every fucking night oh my God, the walls are very thin, like I can hear other people. She's like but, no, I went on the Magiorno, the Magiorno.

Megan: 13:00

Magiarro, magiarro. I went on the Magiarro.

Matty: 13:03

She goes like I can't. I can't drink anything anymore. I've tested every single thing. You don't know. This is why I'm all fit to be tied. She goes.

JJ: 13:11

I used to go home. Every night I would drink a fifth of Hennessy.

Matty: 13:15

Oh my God, I'd come right back in the office the next day and I'd be fine and I'd put a full day in, while these fucking bitches don't do a damn thing around the office.

JJ: 13:26

You might want to introduce her to a little malord.

Megan: 13:27

Is she looking really slim and trim now?

Matty: 13:29

No, no, but she still looks suntan. And then she says the other thing, I forgot, this, does she?

Megan: 13:36

have a lot of wrinkles around her mouth, because you get that with smoking. I try not to make eye contact.

Matty: 13:42

But when I got there, I forgot to tell this.

Megan: 13:44

I forgot this.

Matty: 13:45

I forgot this. I told you this when I got there. I said I had I had to go to the restroom. I'm like do you guys mind if I use the restroom and the and the lady behind the desk goes can he use the restroom or does he need to give a urine sample today? And barb says no, he's fine. So I go to the restroom, I get into the room. She's like j Jesus Christ. She goes I need to get a urine sample. She goes that's on me, I guess. But they looked at the record and she said no. And I'm like no. She's like do you think you could squeeze a little more out?

JJ: 14:18

That's what she said to me, and I'm like I can try, you have very sexual type relationships with these doctors in your life.

Matty: 14:29

And then we can move on from this. But then she's going on and on with her stories and she's taking blood and she's like, and she poked me and I jerked, she goes, stop moving. And then she's like she's like Jesus. Your response you're not paying attention. I'm like I'm not paying attention. She's like well, got it.

Megan: 14:50

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. So she didn't even pull it out.

JJ: 14:52

No, she just moved it around. They do that sometimes. I've never had that.

Megan: 14:54

Yeah, I would never, like I wouldn't know a little too deep and they got to pull it out a little no, I said it in and pull it out, and then I said that's why, then, we're calling I said this was a lot today and she goes.

Matty: 15:06

That's what keeps you coming back.

Megan: 15:08

So she thinks you guys are like the best of friends. Now it's become a thing.

JJ: 15:12

Oh, you're connected, You're getting a kiss, yeah, next week.

Matty: 15:15

That's what I was going to say, or whenever your next appointment is.

Megan: 15:18

So yeah, oh my God. Well, this is a little precursor. I think that we have a special guest coming up soon. We have a special guest coming up soon, dr Anonymous, who is going to give us the 411 on a lot of hot topics in the dental realm. And I am going to address this. Kiss your dentist gave you and find out from a real dentist what is were that appropriate or not. And also we've got some other deeper topics to talk about.

JJ: 15:51

How deep are we talking about?

Megan: 15:52

Well, we'll save it for Dr Anonymous, but stay tuned, it's an episode you don't want to miss.

JJ: 15:59

Well, my updates are not as exciting as you two with the criminal record.

Matty: 16:03

I can make a referral. If you want to come to one of my, I wouldn't mind that.

JJ: 16:08

I wouldn't mind a visit to that, but I, you know, I always forget, like, how, like in the summer, you know, it's wedding season. So I was able to get to one of my good friend's wedding and it was. It was so beautiful. You know how the weddings just get you emotional.

Megan: 16:23

I love a wedding.

JJ: 16:23

Yeah, maddie, doesn't really like to go. I hate everything about it, so I didn't have a plus one, which I loved, but I definitely was the Only one 1% gay on that wedding. I was actually hoping because We've been talking about dating and I'm like you know what, I'm not on the apps that might be a great place for you to meet somebody.

Matty: 16:46

Yeah, that would be nice. Not at that one.

JJ: 16:49

I was the one percent token was the token, gay one thing that I have to say that I've never seen before. We all a big fan of espresso martini I a louche type of thing showed up in the venue and they had espresso martini pour oh my god, that's, amazing and we were all taking like espresso martinis that's kind of weird, though no, like I mean, I love an espresso At 9 pm at night?

Megan: 17:27

Oh, I drink them Shots of espresso.

JJ: 17:29

Yeah.

Megan: 17:30

It's an all-night thing for me, Is it? Oh yeah.

Matty: 17:34

I love the idea. I've never heard of an espresso martini. I'll tell you if.

Megan: 17:37

I have a bar crawl around Detroit where I'm testing out espresso martinis.

Matty: 17:42

It's a great drive home because I'm wide awake. You mean in the. Uber because I'm wide awake. You mean in the Uber Pretty much yeah.

JJ: 17:51

But I got to tell you to Megan's point. After that espresso martini moment, we were all at the dance floor.

Matty: 18:01

And you know, Megan, I did. That's why I'm token gay on the dance floor. I'm sure got everyone going.

JJ: 18:05

And I made sure I wore like the good solid pants. So there was no split. Yeah, because you've had several split pants situations with those deep Everyone going, and I made sure I wore like the good solid pants.

Megan: 18:08

Oh good, so there was no split? Yeah, because you've had several split pants situations with those deep bends in your dance moves. At weddings as well.

JJ: 18:15

That would be great At weddings at holiday parties.

Megan: 18:18

Yeah.

JJ: 18:18

Anywhere, any, you know, anytime.

Megan: 18:20

I'm always ready for that. Well, I'm glad you did.

Matty: 18:29

You need to whenever you squats. Jj and I also went to Kesha.

JJ: 18:32

Oh my God, talk about a people watch concert. Oh, at Kesha, really.

Matty: 18:37

I like to say, and this is a positive thing, but like we like to say, body pee for body positive. We used to say body positive like embrace it.

JJ: 18:49

It should be body positive.

Matty: 18:51

And then we shortened it to body pause and now it's body pee and like people, just embracing not just the body, but everything. Like wow, we'd be, like there's a body pee, like look, they're all, and I love it.

Megan: 19:05

So this is supportive. Sometimes I question people's thought process with what they're wearing when they are out and about in the world Same, but we give power to them.

Matty: 19:14

Both thoughts are in my head.

Megan: 19:16

Well, I hope so.

Matty: 19:17

But, at the end of the day.

JJ: 19:18

It's like beam beam, beam, beam.

Matty: 19:19

Yeah, I mean, it's shooting fireworks left and right, but both things are in my head. But at the end of the day, good on them I support it, I guess. Well, there was a lot of it well there was a lot of, and then but before we went we did we grabbed a bite to eat. Um, I don't even know where was that? Clarkston, clarkston, yeah. And first of all there was this. I don't there's, there's a some more we could unpack here.

Matty: 19:45

Probably don't have time, but they're, because this is a probably an episode in and of itself, but there was a waitress there that clearly was a mother and her daughter was sitting on patio furniture for upwards over an hour and occasionally the mom would come over and talk to her and be like I'm gonna get off soon, like I don't think we don't have to get into it, but like when you bring your child to work, because because I get it maybe there's no other options. But whatever she was reading as if it was a page-turned-novel, a book on mushrooms.

Megan: 20:19

I couldn't get enough Like just regular mushrooms or like psychedelic mushrooms, no just like a dictionary of mushrooms.

Matty: 20:29

Yeah, like Northern Michigan.

Megan: 20:31

How old was this child? Late teens maybe, oh, okay.

JJ: 20:36

It was just like so bizarre to us.

Matty: 20:38

Well, maybe she's taking a class in like horticulture or something she would turn a page, and I'm like JJ she's on to oyster mushrooms.

JJ: 20:45

He could not Stop it. Stop, stop, or she might be in like chef school. Well, well you.

Matty: 20:51

This is another case of megan making well then, well, no, after a couple chapters, she put it down and she went to sleep on the futon chair while her mom's waiting tables yeah, well, I mean, that just makes me sad because obviously there was some type of child care I mean she had a cute little dress on.

JJ: 21:08

She did. She was eating with a little purse. She looked great. Yeah, she looked.

Matty: 21:13

And our waitress was amazing.

JJ: 21:16

I wish we knew her name, but she was amazing and one of Megan's favorite restaurants we went to.

Matty: 21:21

She waited on a group of six other girls that were also going to Kesha. Long story short, we could see the interaction, it seems. Really they were bringing the shots and drinks and having a great time. They skiffed her $250.

JJ: 21:38

They put on the ticket on their receipt. They just put cash. They wrote the word cash. I've never seen that before. I have.

Megan: 21:47

To say like we left on the table. I get it. Nothing was not.

Matty: 21:50

Usually you have your receipts right with your cash the waitress was so engaging and friendly with us that she's like that didn't just happen to me, did it?

JJ: 22:00

and she's like we're like why this is a 200 plus yeah no, that, there's that it was.

Megan: 22:05

I felt so bad for her. Have you waited tables before?

JJ: 22:08

no, everyone and I both did and have.

Megan: 22:11

And yeah, that's just. There's no. Even when I have bad service, I still leave a tip, just because I know whoever's working, whoever the server is like, that's the majority of their money.

JJ: 22:25

So yeah, that's awful and I gotta say like maddie did do a very beautiful act of kindness and he did put a little bit more into it.

Matty: 22:35

Well, I had already filled out mine yeah and I had given 22 or something like because she was regardless of that. She was very nice to us but then that happened and so then I had I looked at my wallet and I had cash in my wallet, so I put it on top and I left her a little note and I'm like, here's a little extra.

Matty: 22:53

And uh, we just so happened to walk one way and then we turned around and we're like no, let's go back this way. And when we came back this way, it just so happened that we were walking by when she was picking up that from and she went.

JJ: 23:04

Oh her face. Yeah, it was so nice. Yeah, it's a beautiful act of hers, for sure.

Megan: 23:09

That's just I, just. There's no excuse for that, and I think those girls knew what they were doing by writing cash. Like think they thought they're being cute, and it's like cause I've sometimes done it with people where we're like, oh well, we'll leave this cash tip Never, never have is anyone written cash in the tip line?

Matty: 23:31

You just do zero and then you have your signature signed copies.

Megan: 23:34

I have heard of people writing cash in there because the person with the card doesn't want immediately to think that I get it. But either way, I think that was a shenanigan.

Matty: 23:40

But Kasia was great.

JJ: 23:42

The trail of sparkle and fishnets was everywhere.

Matty: 23:45

I love it. She came up and down our row.

JJ: 23:50

Yeah, maddie at that point had gone to the bathroom and one of the ushers. We were just at the aisle and the usher is like you better just stay here, and we were like what's happening?

Megan: 24:02

He's like I cannot tell, but she did a little fruit loop. Oh, I love it.

Matty: 24:07

But I had actually come back from the restroom to try to get to my seat and they're like no, you can't come in, why not? So, like I was, he was at the seat. Yeah, that was next to the aisle. I was at the front of the part where she turned and came down the steps.

JJ: 24:24

So it was amazing it was cool, so it was amazing, it was cool, it was a great concert Tits out and Scissor Sisters killed it. Oh my God.

Megan: 24:29

Yeah it was great the Scissor Sisters were the opener. Yeah Well, I know you loved them as a band.

Matty: 24:34

They were great. Jj hadn't really Never, never, and he loved it. Yeah, it was great.

Megan: 24:39

That's awesome. Should we talk a little? Tv I love to talk TV. Any day of the week I'm ready.

Matty: 24:47

I think we've caught up on some programming. There's been some finales, blah, blah blah.

JJ: 24:53

Can I just say, because we did talk about this, I think it was one of your slip it ends, maybe Megan Next Gen NYC. Oh yeah, you just talked about it.

Megan: 25:02

Oh, I've been talking about them because I'm obsessed with the show you got me into it.

JJ: 25:06

I have to say and I got.

JJ: 25:09

You have man, it's just I know well and they're gonna do a next gen la, yes, to get the la kind of celebrity kids I've heard that it's really taking I'm glad that you're saying that, megan, because they're saying you know that, you know, I'm I'm kind of obsessed with andy cohen, um, and I obviously listen to him every day. They're saying kind of like that next gen nyc is the new vandenpump roles, like I can see that and it might take over. You know they're trying this new, you know, vandenpump, like new kind of reiteration of it, but they say that next gen might just take over, and people are really, really watching it.

Matty: 25:46

They have not seen the ratings as high as when vanderpump actually I don't watch either of those shows, but just history says that after a while, like vanderpump, rules had its heyday, it's did its run here, comes something like similar but different, unique. So it only makes sense that there would be something else, that takes over it makes sense, I think.

Megan: 26:12

well, I think what's interesting is, especially when you have people who are now in their early 20s to 30s, who some of them are from celebrity parents, wealthy parents and or were on TV as children, I think as watchers, viewers, you're interested to see what's happened to these people, these kids that you saw like growing up on.

Megan: 26:40

TV when they were young and now they're like young adults, like what are they up to? Plus, I think it's always interesting when you have celebrity kids like. There's been lots of different celebrity kid reality shows. I've watched a lot of them and I think it's always interesting because the children have so much to live up to, because their parents have been so successful in their life and some of them try to, you know, be successful in the same realm. Others try other avenues, so it's always an interesting thing to watch.

JJ: 27:11

Yeah, and I think you get kind of a bonus because you got the kids, which they're very entertaining, yes, and once in a while you get Meredith Marks coming in and Candy Burris coming in, and Kim Solsiak is coming in, and so I think that you get a little bit of the best of both worlds with the new kids that are like so great and it's so crazy to see like these kids like generating like millions of dollars.

Megan: 27:38

Well, yeah, and let me tell you this Tell me that maybe you don't know.

Matty: 27:42

Tell me, I probably don't. I probably do not.

Megan: 27:45

We have a podcast and you may not know, but Barack and Michelle Obama also have a podcast. Yeah, well, mio.

Matty: 27:54

Are you talking about a different one, michelle? It's Michelle and her brother. Oh, okay, yeah, barack just came in as a guest. Yeah, he's been on it, but it's her and her brother, fyi, okay.

Megan: 28:04

Yeah, well, they have a podcast and Michelle Obama herself has been talking about NextGen NYC and how much she loves it. And that she loves all the Bravo shows and she's a Bravo addict.

JJ: 28:14

Do you think we're going to get the Obama daughters in the NextGen?

Megan: 28:18

Can you imagine? That would be amazing. I actually doubt it.

JJ: 28:24

But can you imagine Sasha and Malia there?

Megan: 28:26

I know, they would be on Bravo so fast. Andy Cohen would sign them up.

JJ: 28:31

If he cut no questions asked, he would go right in. Have you watched anything, matt, because it seems like Megan and I are the only ones that are like reality TV junkies.

Matty: 28:42

Well, I did take another one of Megan's clips and Michelle Obama. We're in very good realms I do put her above you two in terms of we are reality TV experts.

Megan: 28:53

I know I'm a lawyer, just like Michelle. I'm about to give you some cred so.

Matty: 28:59

One of you, another one of your, slip it ins was building the band. I did and I said I hadn't watched it, I would watch it. I watched it. I actually pretty much been watch binge watched it.

JJ: 29:08

You were, I got really went through it like I did. I got really hooked on I would watch it. I watched it. I actually pretty much binge watched it. You went through it like nobody's business.

Matty: 29:10

I got really hooked on it. I did enjoy it. I don't know, Should we? I mean the finale's happened. I don't know how we should approach spoiler alerts or whatever. I'm happy with how it came out.

Megan: 29:21

I wasn't a fan of the ending.

Matty: 29:32

Tune out if you don't want to hear, but Frequency One, right? I'm not a fan of the name. It's the girl with the audio wave constantly in her face which annoys me. If not for that, you'd like them, but you're annoyed by them.

Megan: 29:35

Yeah, but I guess I think a girl group of three, it's sort of been done. There were some other bands with different makeups that I found more interesting and were more talented vocally as well.

Matty: 29:46

Okay, so you more talented vocally as well. Okay, so you're talking about four seasons.

Megan: 29:52

Yeah, I love the one man who was very Michael Jackson.

Matty: 29:56

Oh yeah, he was great.

Megan: 29:59

I couldn't get enough. I liked him both as a durable.

Matty: 30:01

Yeah, Just, he's a great singer, but I think he's going to go far. I liked his. He was such a beautiful person, Like I feel like this was what Michael was before he was famous.

JJ: 30:10

Yeah, like very innocent Now that you say that, but his voice is amazing it was like that I thought about Michael Jackson every time he was on the screen.

JJ: 30:19

Yeah, I do like the concept of like the whole, like you're like on a cube and you're kind of putting it together and I do have to say also that I was not expecting I mean, I kind of was expecting it from Kelly Rowland, because I've seen her on the voice UK. I think that she was. She was in the X factor as well, but Liam and the way that he was judging- it was amazing and I really wasn't in.

Megan: 30:49

I wasn't a One Direction person and so I wasn't really all that. I knew his name but I didn't know much more, but like he came across so well, so it is such a loss that it is. I agree he's no longer with us and I think it was sort of a weird People there's a lot of of the band members post finale.

Matty: 31:07

Oh really Commented on, like how much his mentorship and how kind he was and things like that.

Megan: 31:14

Very thoughtful.

Matty: 31:15

I'll tell you what I liked about the show and they made I feel like several times they made a key point to make sure that this was driven home is that these band members selected themselves. Yes, whereas historically these bands that have been manufactured very successful bands like one direction, they were put together. They got a pussycat dolls.

Megan: 31:39

Yeah, from the block yeah.

Matty: 31:42

All of these like and it was producers and Hollywood honchos or whatever that were like trying to make money off of it and they're like let's manufacture chemistry and stuff and in many ways it worked. I'm sure in many ways and other bands it didn't work, where they got to like chat with each other and talk with each other and vote and they make connections and then say I think we would be good together instead of a Hollywood producer, music producer doing it.

Megan: 32:17

Yeah, well, sticking with that theme and with Netflix, let me clue you into something else that just dropped. That is amazing.

JJ: 32:24

Drop that bomb.

Megan: 32:25

Hitmakers, if you haven't watched it, you better watch it, it's a quick six episodes. And if you ever watched the show Songland, which I loved and was obsessed with, I was obsessed with that too.

JJ: 32:38

I didn't know much about Ryan Tedder.

Megan: 32:40

And then I saw that show and like I became obsessed with Ryan Tedder. Like I think it's so fascinating to see people who can just sit in a room and so hit makers. It's like songwriting camps of these top songwriters who've all had like most of them have won Grammys. They've all had number one hits.

JJ: 33:02

They go to these camps.

Megan: 33:03

They put these songwriters in a room and five hours later they have these songs. And let me tell you, almost every episode there was a song I was obsessed with and I almost always was up on my feet dancing at the end of the episode I wish that my teddy bear cam was running for this so let me tell you hit makers it was like six episodes done in no time I wanted more so check it out Nice.

Matty: 33:30

We are running short on time. Can I really quick, though, just say that JJ came with me. Our friend Melissa, who was on a future or previous sorry, previous podcast, was there. I went. We went to West Michigan area for I had a family member birthday to go to, and while we were there, another friend of ours popped in with some very complimentary things to say about the podcast and then surprise, surprise, presented us with three. Shout out isabel for the labubu gift. My god, I I don't know if I'm releasing the video.

JJ: 34:21

I'm not there yet I'm not ready for that.

Matty: 34:24

But I've named mine Zuzu. I have Zuzu the Lububu I think they all come with names. Well, I've changed my name, though. Mine is Zuzu, all right. And Zuzu has been doing a lot.

Megan: 34:36

You looked it up, because they all have their own names.

JJ: 34:38

Well, mine is a different edition because it's the Coca-Cola edition, but I think it still has the name.

Megan: 34:44

All right, well, from the boo-boo people who are like they come with names.

JJ: 34:49

We were very excited and we're obsessed, and the boo-boos have been with us. I don't know Doing everything everyday work with us.

Matty: 34:56

Our gift giver, isabel, who gave it to us, said I don't know, I think they're real. They could be foo-foos, I don't even care.

JJ: 35:02

No, I don't.

Matty: 35:03

Boo-boo, foo-foo. I'm obsessed with them. I am a fam fan.

Megan: 35:07

Well, it's clear you don't care because you cut the tag off. Which we said on this show you can never cut the tags off. It was distracting.

JJ: 35:15

It devalues your le boo-boo.

Megan: 35:17

I mean.

Matty: 35:24

Your le boo-boo now worthless I'm well, it's priceless and I would never part with it, I would never part with it, so I'd never.

Megan: 35:28

I'd never prostitute it anyway. Well, okay, but yeah, don't cut your tags, shall we?

Matty: 35:31

shall we move on to? I mean, we've got a hot topic we were going to talk about.

Megan: 35:35

We got a product review that we had.

JJ: 35:37

We got yeah okay, sydney sweeney oh my god, and we have even. We took a selfie with her gosh?

Matty: 35:44

I mean, I don't even know. I know this is can get contentious and heated and I don't like how do we feel about it?

JJ: 35:50

why don't you?

Matty: 35:52

why don't you kick us off on this topic and give us your thoughts?

Megan: 35:56

yeah, well, I guess I would hope people know what we're even talking about which is, you are the queen of bringing the facts American Eagle jeans ad, which shows her seductively wearing jeans and talking about how jeans spelled. G E N E S dictate so many things like hair color, eye color, um diseases, other things, and then't think they went diseases. How well they fit. I see what you're saying From a scientific standpoint.

Matty: 36:32

There was this comparison between genes and jeans, correct?

Megan: 36:36

So she said my genes are blue because she's wearing blue jeans, and then jeans spelled with the G is crossed out with the J, e, a, n, s, so it's come out that people are finding this to be like a Nazi propaganda type ad which. I understand because Cindy Sweeney has blondish hair and blue eyes.

Matty: 37:01

And then they, and then they would tie it to like I have good jeans, like because I, they would tie it to like I have good genes. Correct, because I have, as if to say only blue eyes and blonde hair white yeah.

JJ: 37:13

But I gotta say, like Maddie and I went to the mall just to check out American Eagle and they have not even taken the posters out or anything like that.

Matty: 37:20

Well, no, I think they're going full force, yeah.

JJ: 37:22

Yeah.

Megan: 37:22

Well, it's just like our name. It's a double entendre. Jeans with a G, jeans with a J can mean many different things. I don't think they put this ad out trying to promote any type of jeans other than blue jeans.

Matty: 37:39

Oh, they knew what they were doing. I don't think Are you trying to say slip it in versus slip it in. When you said like our name, you said like our name slip it in words. We're trying to slip it into conversation slip it in.

Megan: 37:53

If you're thinking triple x, it means something much different okay, fair enough.

Matty: 37:57

Fair enough, I do the. There's uproars and then the like stock, I think.

JJ: 38:03

I think stock prices have went up, I think sales have went up, so I think that there was obviously for a campaign like that, there was a round table and discussions, and they were very intentional about how they did that. They wanted to be very provocative. 100 and costs what we're doing right now because they are talking about it, and that's pretty much what they do and maybe they're getting more people going and getting to. American Eagle and buy some more jeans.

Matty: 38:33

Yeah right, who really even shopped at American Eagle?

Megan: 38:38

It's the same old Hollywood statement no publicity is bad publicity.

JJ: 38:43

Right, that's true.

Megan: 38:46

So they're taking the good with the bad. Do you agree?

Matty: 38:50

I'm not an.

Megan: 38:50

American Eagle shopper.

Matty: 38:52

I know I put it on par with JCPen.

Megan: 38:55

I thought they were a dying brand, so kudos to them this gave them a lifeline.

Matty: 39:00

But there is a lot to acknowledge and say. I don't know that is a lot to acknowledge and say and I don't know that we're going to go there today. But you know everyone's got an opinion. It's a hot topic. We will follow it. We'll see what unfolds. Unzips.

JJ: 39:18

And we will slip that in when, when, if there is any kind of updates on regards to that and let people know what, yeah, what's going on with that, for sure I think the update is american eagles laughing to the bank oh, I, I think that is true.

Matty: 39:31

I'm like, yeah, they're like good on us well, I think jj, don't you?

Megan: 39:36

have something smooth and silky for us today.

JJ: 39:41

There we go with the voice. Do you have something smoothie and silky for us? Oh yeah, I do have to say I do have a product that I want to bring to the forefront today, um, and I want to kind of set this, set it up for you because it kind of comes in with one of my biggest nightmares, which is one, grocery shopping and second, doing that grocery shopping at Costco. Maddie knows this. I despised it. I just cannot get to deal with it. It's an unnecessary evil. Is that the phrase? Yeah, that's a phrase. Well, let me tell you.

Megan: 40:25

They are anyone who, if you're an executive member, you can now go to Costco, starting at 9 am.

Matty: 40:32

Nobody needs that.

Megan: 40:33

Well, the doctor does all our Costco shopping. He loves Costco, so he was giddy.

Matty: 40:41

Let me tell you that I don't want my alarm clock going off at 8 to get to Costco by 9.

Megan: 40:47

That's an unnecessary evil. Well, you're still in bed at 2, so I get it oh wow, I don't think so.

Matty: 40:54

No, I was like 10 years ago, I'm just going to bed at 2 am.

JJ: 41:00

Well, Costco still has one of my favorite products that I have to go there and even I call and text Maddie sometimes, and sometimes you don't.

Matty: 41:08

Sometimes I go on your behalf.

JJ: 41:10

But the Neutrogena Rain Bath Shower Gel from Costco or Costco carries it. It's like one of my favorites. I think, Maddie, you introduced it to me, I did.

Matty: 41:24

Back in the day when we were living together and it was in the shower, so therefore.

Megan: 41:30

Well, he used to rave about it to me as well. It's a hot product for him. Yeah, it is.

JJ: 41:35

It's a good blend of good spices with fruit. The smell is very soothing. It sticks with you.

Matty: 41:52

Do you find that it's a little like? I find it like masculine in a way that I haven't, but yet it could still be. Anybody could. It's kind of a non-binary scent.

Megan: 41:57

I think that's what I'm trying to say. Well, I think, before you get too much further, you should say what the product actually is. I thought we did. I just said Rainbath, no Neutrogena Rainbath.

Matty: 42:06

Okay, that's how I started. All right Okay.

Megan: 42:09

Review me Review me.

Matty: 42:11

All right, I've got your back. Jj, I got my facts. Sorry I missed it. She be busy over there typing some shit down.

JJ: 42:29

I was just no. The good thing about this is it's not very foamy at all. Rinses it very clear Again. I really like the smell. The smell is one of the biggest things that I really like. One of the things that I found that is a good benefit of this specific shower gel is like it has a non-dying formula which, like one, strip your skin's natural moisture to it without being heavy. So I you know, maddie knows this Like it's a very you feel, fresh.

Matty: 42:58

I feel like I just had a rain bath. I mean it lives up to its name.

JJ: 43:04

It's funny because as I was preparing for this review, it kind of took me back to when we were to the rainforest in Puerto Rico and we just like we will stand right under the waterfall and we were just pretty much kind of rainfall.

Matty: 43:19

Neutrogena is going to call you.

JJ: 43:20

Ring, ring, hello Hi, it's Neutrogena. Yes, neutrogena is going to call you. It's taking me back to that.

Matty: 43:23

Ring, ring, hello, hi, it's Neutrogena.

JJ: 43:26

Yes, neutrogena, if you're listening, wow, slip in.

Megan: 43:29

Well, let me tell you I can maybe save you some of your Costco hassle, because Rainbath is available on Amazon.

Matty: 43:38

Oh, and it's in our link tree. Not for this? Oh well, it's in our link tree. Not for this? Oh well, it's in our link tree. Oh, fair enough.

Megan: 43:43

Yeah, so for anyone who hasn't checked out our link tree yet, go check out our link tree. You can get to it easily.

JJ: 43:56

Just go to any of our socials and click on the link tree link and it will take you right there and you can see all the products we talk about. Yeah, it is $19.99 at Costco if you have a $5 coupon, which sometimes happens.

Matty: 44:05

You don't need a coupon anymore. They've stopped that If it's on sale, you get it, and I buy three at a time. It always rotates into the cycle. You just need to give it a couple weeks, it'll be back in the cycle. I'll get three. I usually keep one down here, so then when you're like Maddie, could you get me one? I'm like sure, let me go down in the basement and Maddie talk about the gender.

JJ: 44:24

One of the things that I just in just wrapping up with this review is that this specific rain bath shower gel serves as a body wash shaving gel and also you can have a bubble bath with it.

Matty: 44:37

So all those three things, all your sensitive parts, are fine with it. They love it. They love the rinse.

Megan: 44:42

Well, I've used it in the past. I haven't used it recently, but I'm almost out of body wash, so I think I'm going to put this on the Dr.

JJ: 44:49

Tosco list. I just smell it. Right now we have it right here in front of us Aroma Love that.

Megan: 44:54

Well, with that, I think it's time for our slip it ins and pull it outs, and for my slip it in.

JJ: 45:09

this week is something I've been talking about off and on and all these various episodes of the pod Starbucks rewards. How many times are we going to talk?

Megan: 45:13

about this rewards. Let me tell you, I think they're back. I think they're back. I got buy this item four days in a row. You get 100 points last week and I have it this week and I've been doing a lot of traveling this week.

JJ: 45:28

You don't have to do any like challenges and things like that it's just by the one particular product okay so, and I had the same thing this week.

Megan: 45:35

So I think, fingers crossed, the rewards might be back you didn't get any like. Have a great day well no, let me tell you the words the smiley faces, the choose joy, the have a great day. All those shenanigans are still being written on my cup and they did acknowledge me today, like when I walked in. They're like oh, we're getting your nitro cold brew, so, like my starbucks I stop at in the morning, the roller coaster of emotions you go through. They know me.

Matty: 46:07

So now I think I might tell them hey, if you see my Megan cause I just call myself Megan to them. To make it easy, just stop you don't need to write anything. I might have that conversation with them. You're like I can see it. Nope, nope, not necessary, put your Sharpie away.

Megan: 46:25

Yeah, so we'll see, fingers crossed these rewards.

Matty: 46:30

I am pulling for you, I'm pulling for you, thank you.

Megan: 46:34

And my pull it out is kind of a creature feature.

Matty: 46:38

Oh, creature feature. Do we have a cricket or anything Like a little? It's a little sad. Oh there's a creech Feech.

JJ: 46:47

I killed a gopher mole or maybe a muskrat. Today I was driving.

Megan: 46:56

Yeah, I was driving, there was this little animal on the other side of the road and the car was stopped and he was standing there and looking, looking around and he wasn't going and then I slowed way down and then he started to go forward. So I just went forward and then he turned and ran under my car they get so confused and I'm like oh, he's gonna be like in the middle.

Matty: 47:19

And then I went, oh and I'm like oh and I look in my rearview mirror and there's you're driving and then your car went boop. Oh, your car went boop. Did you go right straight to a car wash to get that I drove over a little critter I don't know what it was. I drove over a squirrel once and the feeling that you have, oh, I know, can you feel like the crutch of?

Megan: 47:41

Let's not talk about it because it's going to make me cry.

JJ: 47:44

So that's my pull it out, Well. I might slip it in I don't know if I'm ready for a slip it in after that Bring us back, rip Bring us back. My slip it in is gum, but not me buying it when Maddie buys it. Or I have another friend, another friend that has it every time he's got the gum. There is some joy.

Matty: 48:10

This isn't my pull it out, but my pull it out could be him chewing all my gum.

JJ: 48:15

The joy that I get when we're on a road trip we're going somewhere else. I just don't buy it. I know that Maddie has some gum from wow I when I go out now that I don't buy it because my other friend has some gum for me. I just it's such a joy for me, don't gum for me don't well, you need to look into mint mentos.

Matty: 48:37

It gives you a gum feeling and vibe. It freshens your breath, but it doesn't you should be telling me that, so I can buy it.

Megan: 48:44

I do love Mentos Well we're going to be traveling together and I'll have some Mentos we leave tomorrow.

JJ: 48:50

I love me some gum when I'm not the one buying it, I pull it out. Maddie and I, we just finished the long-winded RuPaul Drag Race All-Stars the long-winded RuPaul Drag Race All-Stars. It was the longest All-Stars that we've ever watched. And, by the way, rupaul, I think that we need a break for All-Stars. That's not my pullout. My pullout is RuPaul All-Stars and not All-Stars. You know that you're going to be in a sewing competition. You know that you're going to be in a sewing competition and the fact that you don't know how to sew for those type of competitions.

Matty: 49:30

It's like going on Survivor and you don't know how to swim it's about time.

JJ: 49:33

It's about time that you know what.

Matty: 49:35

It's like going on Survivor and you don't know how to swim.

JJ: 49:37

That's another thing. Yeah, but for now I just think that if you're going, you've been selected to go into the RuPaul drag race. You know exactly that there is in every single one all-stars or not all-stars, there is a sewing type of challenge Every single.

Megan: 49:55

Oh, I didn't know that we know about it.

I'm very pleased with my parents' choice of pet names and street names because it's my stripper name Sheba Monroe.

JJ: 50:54

You were expecting what yeah, wheat thins, I just go and skip bagging right away, no yeah, but it only lets you do that once or twice, and then it won't let you do it anymore and then I'm like have to get the lady or the gentleman to come over and be like boop boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. Let me check. Oh yep, he did scan Like. And then two scans later, unexpected item in bagging area.
