Speaker 3 1:28

I love that we call her TikTok Susan Exactly.

Speaker 2 1:31

She was supposed to appear on this podcast today as our guest host, but she never called in like we scheduled and she failed to respond to our DMs.

Speaker 4 1:41

But we knew right, we set her up really. We were going to do like a Chris Hansen moment.

Speaker 2 1:48

Well, who knows? Yeah, we weren't sure what to expect, but we were ready to record as soon as that phone call came in, right?

Speaker 4 1:55

Because we hadn't led on to her, although she might've picked up some cues that we were on to her, on to Tic Tac, Susan, Well since- we were on to her, on to.

Speaker 2 2:04

TikTok Susan the gig was out Exactly, but since the missed call I have been responding more to TikTok Susan and pressured her and she said well, I didn't call because you didn't pay my honorarium. So I said how can I pay you without any payment instructions? Because I was hoping to get some real info that I could pass on to the real. Susan Powder and hopefully get some goodwill with her. And anyway, tiktok Susan sent me her Bitcoin info. Yeah, exactly, so we're not paying the fraudster at all.

TikTok Susan Fraud Update

Speaker 4 2:44

It's like my experience on Tinder, like four interactions in, and then it's like they'll ask what do you do for a living? And I'll be like I'm in communications, what do you do? Well, I, you know, I dabble in bitcoin do you have your whatsapp? Oh my god, yeah do you have your whatsapp number? Exactly and I'm like, here we go.

Speaker 3 3:05

When I see that the last two pictures is a landscape. Oh really, yeah, it's a bit.

Speaker 4 3:11

It's a clue, yeah, and sometimes, when they're, when they turn out to be real and I think I've done my, I've asked the questions I need to ask, yeah, then later I'll be like I thought, or I'll ask a question, I'll be like your next question isn't going to be asking me if I'm into Bitcoin is it and they'll laugh and be like been there, been there, I love it.

Speaker 2 3:33

And you know, it's those crypto bros on the other side. Charlie Zucor from NextGenNYC is out there trying to get this Bitcoin coming in. What New York? And no, that's different, right. And NYC is out there trying to get this Bitcoin coming in. What New.

Speaker 4 3:46

York, and no, that's different right Next gen NYC.

Speaker 3 3:50

Yeah, oh, yeah, oh is that, charlie?

Speaker 4 3:52

Yes, oh, because I finished the show, you guys.

Speaker 1 3:56

Oh, you did.

Speaker 4 3:58

Yeah, so this is the second time I've taken your advice, megan, you gave me.

Speaker 2 4:02

Making the Band.

Speaker 4 4:04

I was in it. Well, yeah, but she gave me Making the Band you both were telling me to watch New York Gen Z, which I can't.

Speaker 3 4:10

Next Gen, next I don't know why it's so hard for me Next Gen NYC. You're not the only one.

Speaker 4 4:15

There's a lot of people that have that.

Speaker 2 4:16

Next Gen NYC yes, just think Next Generation NYC, because there's probably going to be a next-gen.

Speaker 3 4:23

LA. I think that that's happening. Heather Dubrow is actually wanting to have one of her kids in there.

Speaker 4 4:29

I did watch the whole, thing, I did get hooked pretty quickly. Charlie was the only one lower on the list for me from a character standpoint was Hudson. I didn't think Hudson brought anything to the show. Charlie was obnoxious.

Speaker 4 4:46

I, you know not, not a fan of his, his, I guess antics character or whatever, but from a but from a character standpoint which you like, which I like, because if you bring drama or a storyline, that's what keeps it interesting, interesting so you'd love to hate that particular character, like that's how I felt about brandy glanville on uh yeah, there's a lot to talk about. Well, that's there's some other things going on there now, but like back in the day when she was throwing she was like lisa rena fake leg or something was going on but.

Speaker 3 5:22

But now that you say Charlie, what about Charlie's roommate? Yeah, he's a cutie, he's an OnlyFans act.

Speaker 4 5:29

Oh yeah, but he's like just.

Speaker 3 5:32

It's like a friend, but also on.

Speaker 4 5:34

OnlyFans. It's all clothed. Oh, it's not.

Speaker 3 5:38

Yes it is. Did you check? Well, I no.

Speaker 2 5:41

You got to subscribe for the naked photos.

Speaker 3 5:46

Thanks but if you checked his ex.

Speaker 2 5:50

Oh, oh, his ex, oh again, you know what Right?

Speaker 4 5:54

We know they won't let you run an ad that talks about the South Shills.

Speaker 3 6:02

But you can do porn all day. I bet you did Well you know it's funny.

Speaker 4 6:04

You say that because as soon as I saw that roommate I'm like oh.

Speaker 2 6:15

I bet JJ was all up in that place, but I I also was very surprised by Brooks Brooks.

Speaker 1 6:18

Oh, Brooks Marks.

Speaker 4 6:18

So we watched Salt Lake City and you know he would be on there. And then when I heard you guys talking about it, I'm like I'm not gonna really you know he would be on there. And then when I heard you guys talking about it I'm like I'm not going to really. You know, like that him as a like like a cast regular in a different show. But he pleasantly like surprised me. He was very like self, like grounded, comfortable in his own skin. Comfortable in his own skin, very, I mean funny in his weird his dad is I can't it's the most cringe-worthy moment.

Speaker 4 6:53

With his pans comments. You know what I mean.

Speaker 3 6:56

And wanting to be pansexual.

Speaker 4 6:59

Yeah, he was making comments about pansexual and, but he would call it. He goes what do you kids? Call it pans, pans, and I even thought that was a little bit like yeah I like brooke's um avoidance of conflict which is kind of a contradicted.

Speaker 4 7:13

It could very contradicting to like what he is surrounded well, it seemed like for me the four or five of them that are from real housewives parent the moms are on real house. All of them were like, yeah, I just avoid conflict, I'm because they grew up with conflict all around them and cameras and all the clips and stuff with crazy, crazy moms. Yes, I'm glad that you cut off yeah, yeah, yeah, I enjoyed it, so keep the ruckos coming, I will have you watched him acres.

Speaker 2 7:42

That didn't take long.

Speaker 4 7:43

No, I haven't but, you've plugged that a couple times. And it's kind of on my list, but there's new, more and more shows coming out as we get into fall, that is going to fill my sketch.

Speaker 2 7:54

Well, get it in quick.

Speaker 4 7:55

And I have one if you tell me when we want to talk about it. But there's a new drama series out.

Speaker 2 8:01

Okay. Well, I was going to first shout out some of the commentary that we've been getting online. We had heard from slippers, scott, kier and mitch oh yeah, they dm'd us to tell us that they were having a boys weekend up north and listening to the pod and they were actually asking for what, what our top episodes were, which is very hard, hard Like when you're having 15 episodes out and they're all so good, like that's, our library is so expensive.

Speaker 3 8:31

But I do have to say that they are all on the straight band, so they're straight. They're not gays or gay adjacent. So we're, you know, aiming not only for the gays and the lesbians and the Uncle Cathy's. I think we're, you know, aiming not only for the gays and the lesbians and the Uncle Cathy's.

Speaker 4 8:47

I think we're just aiming for listeners. We want listeners.

Next Gen NYC Show Discussion

Speaker 3 8:50

And we want slippers and I think that Scott, kier and Mitch, they are slippers.

Speaker 4 8:54

They are slippers. They gave you the first names.

Speaker 2 8:57

Shout out, straight Boy Slippers.

Speaker 3 9:00

Straight Boy Slippers. We're in.

Speaker 4 9:03

Love that. What else you got?

Speaker 3 9:06

I heard you guys went to Atlanta, the good ATL oh yeah, we did.

Speaker 2 9:10

We had a little hotlanta trip and I was sort of devastated because the first morning there I open up my Uber app and it says Waymo is here. And you're obsessed with it, even though you have never I haven't tried a waymo, but I'm dying to. And for those of you who don't know what waymo is, it's an autonomous driving vehicle that works like uber. So, um, it said, switch your your settings to say you're open to autonomous and you'll maybe get a Waymo when you order Uber. Maybe you can't.

Speaker 3 9:49

So it's like a lottery.

Speaker 2 9:51

In Atlanta so in. Atlanta Waymo operates through Uber. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the laws and how Uber got into Atlanta. Uber got into Atlanta because Waymo is operating on its own, with its own Waymo app out of LA, San Francisco and Phoenix. So in those cities you just open your Waymo app and you'll get a Waymo. In Atlanta, you open your Uber app, you request a car and maybe you get a Waymo, maybe you don't.

Speaker 4 10:21

Well, we never know. I mean, I kind of like that, you know, like it is that lottery blind box kind of feel.

Speaker 2 10:27

I think in a regular day I'd be fine with it. But when I'm only in the city for a limited time frame, that has Waymo and I can't get Waymo. It just creates extra drama for me.

Speaker 4 10:39

I just wonder, you know, like we had a couple of situations Remember that one time where we were down in the hotel lobby and the car was like just won over, like how, and they called us and it's like how well, like what's going to happen when Waymo is like no, there's like a code you have that you can't either like unlock the door or, when you get in, the car won't move if you don't have this code.

Speaker 4 11:02

Yeah, but I'm saying if they can't find us, they think they're at the right spot, but they're not at the right spot.

Speaker 2 11:08

Well, that's been some of the way. I've been following a lot of Reddit threads on Waymo.

Speaker 4 11:12

Okay.

Speaker 2 11:13

And that's a lot of some of the complaints, but there's also, surprisingly, so many people are like this is the best thing ever, I don't tip and I just sit there. I don't have to worry about trying to talk to someone or have them, you know, control the heating and the cooling or the music I can do it all myself.

Speaker 4 11:33

You can, is it? Is it voice auto, like turn up the air, or do you?

Speaker 2 11:39

oh, you're okay.

Speaker 4 11:40

You're like, if I would have got my, my Waymo, I'd be answering you, I got to say this is for sure a quiet ride. Yeah, You're not going to have the issue that Maddie does. I'm going to guess you know what else? Probably no air freshener in there which is a plus, Because you don't got any.

Speaker 3 11:59

I don't know, but you're not going to have that conversation after the bar.

Speaker 4 12:02

There's no driver worried about, I probably still would JJ.

Speaker 2 12:05

You'll just talk to the.

Speaker 4 12:06

Waymo, I'll be having a one-way combo.

Speaker 2 12:09

Yeah, I am curious because, to Maddie's point, every time we got in a Lyft or an Uber in Atlanta it did reek of air freshener, sometimes good, sometimes bad. So I am curious, like does Waymo pump in air freshener? Sometimes good, sometimes bad. So I am curious, like does waymo pump in air freshener?

Speaker 4 12:28

but I mean is the air freshener and who I don't know. It's probably car by car, but, like, if I'm a driver, am I putting it in there? Because I have 300 people getting in and out of my car all day and some of them are smelly and walking around and it's too much and so it's for them. If there's no driver, then there's. I mean like's.

Speaker 3 12:48

I don't think that air freshener, but there's a company that handles this car, I'm assuming.

Speaker 1 12:52

Waymo.

Speaker 2 12:53

Yeah, it's the company.

Speaker 3 12:54

Well, I'm talking about, like, the cleaning and the making sure. No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 4 13:09

If you're an Uber or Lyft driver, you're responsible and required. Well, that's a good point. Like what if I get in there and I leave all?

Speaker 1 13:12

of my snacks and food items and garbage in there. Who's cleaning?

Speaker 4 13:13

Okay, megan's, like I don't know If someone wants to sponsor me on a cross-country Waymo tour. Give us a ring.

Speaker 2 13:18

Yes, absolutely.

Speaker 3 13:20

So that's about it. Well, the other thing that was very-.

Speaker 4 13:23

That's just how we got around, yeah or didn't.

Speaker 2 13:26

The other thing that was super interesting and I've never seen it before is we came across a gaggle of gays at the gay bar and they all had loops in.

Speaker 3 13:38

Oh yes, so for our slippers my product.

Speaker 1 13:40

Yeah yeah, jj did a product review several episodes ago about loops. Which are these earplugs? Earplugs, yeah, like noise cancellation or noise there's.

Speaker 3 13:54

There's no full cancellation, but noise filtration filtration.

Speaker 2 13:58

I like that, I like that, I like that so these gays had them on in the gay bar and there was like they're meant to be like that.

Speaker 1 14:06

Yeah.

Speaker 2 14:07

It was odd and it was interesting and we approached him about it.

Speaker 3 14:10

Oh, you for sure did Well they kind of blew me off. Oh, they maybe talked to you a little more. They did talk to me.

Speaker 1 14:19

Some gays, I was saying gaggles and gays together.

Speaker 2 14:24

But anyway, some gays love to talk to a straight woman and some gays they think I'm really fucking annoying.

Speaker 4 14:36

So this group thought she was fucking annoying.

Speaker 2 14:38

No, I wouldn't say that.

Speaker 4 14:39

But I did have a conversation and you know I just said, like, why no-transcript? I think there's probably a fashion thing to it.

Speaker 3 15:12

That's what the design is.

Speaker 4 15:13

Yeah, like I mean, you know you, you would recognize it you know, like you can see that they have a loop and they're getting trendy.

Speaker 3 15:21

And mine, I don't use it like out and about, but I use it when I'm at work. Oh well, that's just a signal to your colleagues don't fucking talk.

Speaker 4 15:33

100 and you know, when they see me put that those ear um earplugs and it's like don't, like I'm not airplane, like yeah, oh, yeah, oh my phone is loading. Get my plugs in.

Speaker 3 15:39

Get my plugs in I might bring those earplugs when we megan and I do the cookies and just plug that. Those ears.

Speaker 4 15:45

Oh well, maybe that, maybe I'll get to come back then no, you're not. Oh, okay, that's another.

Speaker 3 15:50

You're in probation.

Speaker 2 15:51

So I got a sense from these, this gaggle.

Speaker 1 15:55

I do like that word gaggle.

Speaker 2 15:57

They kind of seemed like they might've been salesmen of the loop or something Like they there seemed to be an ulterior motive to it, but cause they really couldn't like give a good reason as to why Were they giving away samples or something?

Speaker 4 16:11

No, they weren't even talking to her. I don't know what she's talking about. Well, that's.

Waymo Rideshares in Atlanta

Speaker 3 16:15

She's making these judgments because they were. She always does. Yeah, just got a little story on her head. They did not want to deal with me. Well, talking about your plugs and music, this, there's a big controversy this summer. I don't know if you've heard, but like nobody seems to figure it out, what the song of the summer is no.

Speaker 3 16:34

There clearly is no song of the summer well, I have some options, you know, but but there's lists everywhere. I mean, andy corn and john hill were talking about it and they were like not really content with the list of the songs even provided to that.

Speaker 2 16:48

Well, yeah, if you pull up like Billboard top hits right now it's like three Morgan Whelan songs.

Speaker 4 16:55

Oh and like the other genres, is Song of the Summer just like pop, or is because isn't Morgan Whelan like a crossover country?

Speaker 2 17:04

Well, yeah, so a true song of the summer, I think, crosses multiple charts and is a worldwide hit. Like think about, like sexy back gold digger.

Speaker 4 17:16

Yeah, but I wouldn't, in all fairness, I wouldn't call those country hits.

Speaker 2 17:19

but blurred line, well, but they cross. Pop rock they crossed a ton of others. Flowers from miley, yeah like hip pop yeah, okay, all right. And like, I think, a song of the summer which is still on the charts today at number seven pink pony club.

Speaker 3 17:35

That was song of the summer like a year or two ago I think that two years ago, like I remember when maddie played it on my car once and I'm like you have to listen. What in the world is this song about? No one knew who Chapel Roan was. No, you discovered her pretty much.

Speaker 4 17:48

Oh yeah, I sure did.

Speaker 3 17:50

Well, she's still on the charts. Well, do you?

Speaker 4 17:53

if you guys were to say there was a song of the summer, do you have? Oh, I have mine. Do you have one that you would think is an honorable mention? Or I guess the question is twofold Do you agree that there really isn't a song period that rises to the occasion? But then, secondarily, if you were to say okay, if I had to choose, I have a, a, a selection.

Speaker 3 18:18

Yes, yes To the both I would say like I would agree with you know, andy Cohen, which is my, you know, preferred daddy, he I would go with whatever he says.

Speaker 3 18:33

He says that maybe some summers don't have a song of the summer and we can bring in whatever we feel is the song that actually feels us like summer individually, and you just play it. You know, like I always play my new songs when, I you know know, go into your car, I would just like find my song and I, you know all right, figure it out what is it my song of the summer is how, um, how bad do you want me, by lady gala good song. I think it's not played enough.

Speaker 4 18:54

I think it checks a lot of boxes. I mean it's a banger.

Speaker 2 18:57

No, it is a banger it's semi banger, it's not that banger.

Speaker 3 19:03

Every time I hear it, I Full banger.

Speaker 4 19:06

I'm a full banger.

Speaker 3 19:08

I'm in a full banger mode and I'm singing along and it has some Taylor Swift to it.

Speaker 4 19:16

I wonder why. I might be a Swifty adjacent I have two that I would throw out there for consideration.

Speaker 2 19:25

We're still in summer I think so yes, but it's quickly coming to an end.

Speaker 4 19:30

So I think I have two that I'd throw out there. One, I think, came a little pre-summer, although it was summer, and one is a little come is coming out now and it's a little late summer. So I don't like if they would have hit more at the prime of summer. I think they had potential. My first one, I think, is messy by Lola.

Speaker 2 19:48

I like that song. I mean that might be one of them on my list.

Speaker 4 19:54

You couldn't not hear it. It was everywhere and I saw, and the other one that's going right now is no broke boys oh.

Speaker 1 20:00

I haven't heard that.

Speaker 3 20:01

Oh my God, oh my god yeah, that's the song that lisa barlow was singing with meredith max doing the dj?

Speaker 2 20:08

oh, I did hear that. Yes, I know that.

Speaker 4 20:09

I mean, it's just got like you can't help but move in your seat yeah, you're right, that is a good one.

Speaker 3 20:14

So those are. Oh, that would give me that I like messy.

Speaker 2 20:18

I hear messy a lot. Still I listen to. If I'm not listening to podcasts or talk radio, I listen a lot to Adult Alternative or the Hits. So I hear Messy a lot on Adult Alternative.

Speaker 4 20:32

Well then that kind of checks your criteria box. Absolutely.

Speaker 3 20:37

So other than that, that's, you don't have.

Speaker 2 20:39

Well, I probably people don't know this, but I also love Passion by Milky Chance.

Speaker 3 20:44

Never heard of it.

Speaker 2 20:45

It's really good.

Speaker 1 20:46

I should put it on my list.

Speaker 2 20:48

So that's it's got a catchy tune, but it hasn't really transcended, so I don't think it really.

Speaker 4 20:54

Well, it's worth a listen. I'd like to give it a listen.

Speaker 2 20:56

You'll enjoy it. It's like a messy song, so it's similar to that in its vein.

Speaker 3 21:01

Yeah, similar to that in Spain.

Speaker 4 21:03

Yeah, I will put it on my new songs list, then I'll eventually hear it.

Speaker 2 21:07

That's for sure. So get it going. Okay so you said you're watching new shows on netflix I, yes, no or hulu well, every streamer.

The Amanda Knox Series

Speaker 4 21:20

But okay this show happens to be on. Hulu got a little unpacking to do so, I'm sure roll the carpet come on, come on. Oh well, malfunction. We have a dashboard malfunction, okay. So, amanda Knox, I'll just I won't bury the lead. She's back in the headlines. This has been going on for 20 plus years. There's a new show on Hulu. I don't even know what the name of it is. Something to do with?

Speaker 1 21:53

Amanda.

Speaker 2 21:54

Knox, I think it says like the real Amanda Knox or something about something. Amanda Knox.

Speaker 4 21:59

Okay, but yeah, it's the first thing you see if you go into Hulu, because they're really heavily promoting it. So, but this the difference between this. There's been several, obviously, documentaries and shows in the past. This one is from her perspective. They've released two episodes as of yesterday and it's an eight episode arc. The season finale is set to premiere on October 1st and it was executive. The executive producer on the show, interestingly enough, is Monica Lewinsky.

Speaker 2 22:32

I love Monica.

Speaker 4 22:33

Yeah, I love Monica too, and I'm, you know it's. I saw her do so. Here's what I've seen so far. I saw a pre-interview with Monica Lewinsky and the other guy that was like the director I forget his name, but and then I saw three quarters of the first episode, cause I it was my yeah, I can't, I can't stay awake.

Speaker 4 22:54

So I go in with full intentions but then I have to pause it. So I don't, I don't mind, I'm not one of those people that you have to like, like, finish it up wherever I'm at if the lids are heavy, the lids are heavy. Pause and then uh, so I watch 45 minutes of it how long is the episode? They're like an hour, oh, okay so but you can even that I press pause and it says 15 minutes. I'm like oh no, you can't, then it's like a morsel.

Speaker 2 23:24

When I go back to it it's like oh, I got a little snackable 15 minutes what I struggle with is I'll be in that scenario and I'm like, oh, I can do 15 minutes and I immediately fall asleep. Oh, oh and then I wake up in the shows over or it's moved on to another episode. So then I'm like oh, I got to go back to finish those 15 minutes and I started over again. I can watch these 15 minutes back asleep.

Speaker 4 23:48

And I wake up 30 minutes later and I go through this. You got to take a page out of my book I do, don't fight it, just pause it, I need to. Don't fight it, pause it, yeah. But Megan, can you give us a? I think you have a little factual rundown for us. Well, kind of just from, like Foxy Noxy is what they called her right the.

Speaker 2 24:05

European press loved calling her Foxy Noxy because as a child Amanda Knox was a soccer player and that was kind of like her nickname on the childhood soccer field. So when the foreign press got a hold of that, that's what they called her. Because, for anyone that doesn't remember, amanda Knox was an American exchange student who was in Perugia, Peru, perugia, I think it's Perugia. I think it's Perugia, yeah.

Speaker 4 24:32

Italy. I think it's Perugia. I think it's Perugia, yeah, italy.

Speaker 2 24:36

And she rented a room in a house with a British roommate, meredith Kircher, and another roommate who was Italian, and this was back in November of 2007. Well, amanda Knox was with her boyfriend, comes back the next day to her house and notices the front doors like a jar or something goes in, gets ready, leaves, goes back to her boyfriend, tells her boyfriend oh, things were weird, I don't know, no one was there, the door was open. They go back together and that's when they discover that her roommate Meredith is murdered. So, and apparently come to find out later on she was also sexually assaulted and stabbed, torrid threesome sexual situation and killed meredith in either a threesome gone wrong or some jealous rage or something, even though the facts didn't, didn't support that 100 at all.

Speaker 2 25:49

She ends up getting convicted in 2009, in 2011, and her boyfriend, amanda knox and her boyfriend both get convicted and murdered yeah, rafael, solicito, solicito. Okay, so in 2011, the convictions get overturned. On appeal, amanda and her boyfriend were both uh released. Amanda comes back to america.

Speaker 2 26:12

I think her boyfriend was italian, so he stayed in italy um and then, in 2013, italy's highest court overturned the acquittal in order to retrial. So then, she and her boyfriend are retried for this murder, which the evidence again doesn't support anything in the us at this time, correct, right.

Speaker 4 26:33

So, yes, she, it could have been well within her decisions to just stay what in the US at this time, right, correct. Yes, it could have been well within her decisions to just stay what in the US, right.

Speaker 2 26:40

I'm not sure if she went back, for the second trial or not?

Speaker 4 26:43

I don't think so. But then she went back later to clear her name.

Speaker 2 26:46

So in 2014, at the retrial, Amanda and her boyfriend are convicted again.

Speaker 3 26:51

What a nightmare.

Speaker 2 26:52

I know. But then, luckily, in 2015, Italy's Supreme Court finally acquitted both Amanda and her boyfriend and they've cleared them indefinitely of murder. It's over. So meanwhile, while all this was going on, there was one major suspect to this murder, and at some point he even admits to doing the murder Rudy Guillaume or Guida and he was, if I believe correctly I think he's from Nigeria or something, which is irrelevant, but I think they didn't even look at him at all, even though a lot of evidence pointed to him. And he eventually admitted to doing the murder and he was convicted and served 13 years in prison and was released in 2021.

Speaker 2 27:41

So when amanda got through this whole hellish of a nightmare, she became a public speaker. I think she's written a book she advocates on issues of wrongful conviction as well as media sensationalism, because that's kind of like everything was foxy-noxy and they tried to create all these crazy threesome scenarios, even though there was no evidence for any of that. So it's a very interesting story, so I'm kind of excited to watch this. I didn't think it came out till this weekend.

Speaker 4 28:13

I have a situation to just talk about that's interesting and I think, for people that this story might be new to because it is nearly a 20 year old story.

Speaker 4 28:21

So the, the you know some generations may not know about this, but, like when you watch the show, I have already learned that even in this show, even though it's from Amanda Knox's perspective and from her point of view, they still have done some things for the benefit of the drama of the show. And like just you know how they always have that little thing and certain things have been changed for the storyline or whatever.

Speaker 4 28:49

So I was watching episode one and then, after I watched the part that I did, I Googled it and so this is interesting. So, if anyone, I'm spoiler alert, a little spoiler alert, a little shitty one, not major.

Speaker 4 29:01

A little shitty spoiler alert In the episode and even you said, megan, she came over to the house, she left, they came back. I don't know if there was one trip or two In the show, it is two trips, okay. So she comes over, she sees the door jar, as you say, right, and then calls around. And then she's looking around cause the door's a jar and she goes into the bathroom and there's a giant piece of shit in the toilet and she's like, oh, gross.

Speaker 4 29:28

And she like leaves the bathroom Right and then she proceeds to get ready, do her thing, leaves, goes back to Raphael's house. When they come back and he's with her and they're kind of still trying to figure out what's been going on in the house she noticed there's no shit in the toilet. So the theory there she's like oh my God, when I came back here, whoever was in the house they just thought at this point had broken into the house they hadn't found Meredith's body and was like in the house with me, because now the, now the, shit's been flushed, oh yeah.

Speaker 1 30:03

So I'm like wow, how come?

Speaker 4 30:05

I never heard about that but I'm like in my mind, I'm like it makes sense because, let's say, you're taking a dump right and all of a sudden you hear somebody I'm out like I just killed someone, gotta take a shit right, so I take my. Sudden you hear somebody like I just killed someone, got to take a shit Right, so I take my shit. I hear somebody come in. I don't have time to wipe or flush, so it's just shit in the toilet. I hide wherever I hide and then when they leave I'm going to flush that because it's my DNA.

Speaker 2 30:30

Right, so that would all make sense.

Speaker 4 30:31

So I did a little boop-a-doop-a-doop the next day and that is sensationalized for the program. Oh, really there was the shit in the toilet did happen. Oh, okay, but the shit didn't get flushed. Oh really, which even is, and later they didn't like go. I don't know why to your point, like I don't know why they didn't like, automatically rely on that as key evidence.

Speaker 2 30:56

Yeah.

Speaker 4 30:56

Because they collected sample but didn't test it until later, and when they did it was this guy's name that you said Rudy Rudy, it was his shit. Like his shit was in the toilet right, oh my God, and it's the bathroom adjacent to Meredith's. I mean shit in the toilet doesn't mean you stabbed somebody, but come on Like and you stabbed somebody but, come on, they also found his bloody palm print and other things.

Speaker 3 31:19

Yeah, there was other stuff there which speaks to one of the myths I was reading too, that say that Amanda Nock's DNA was all over the crime scene and it wasn't, but she lived there.

Speaker 2 31:27

But even if it was, she lived there Her. Dna should be everywhere, but I just caution people.

Speaker 4 31:32

I mean, do a little research because we don't have to get into this. But it's similar to like the Menendez story, like at the core the facts are there, but there was like they do these drama shows and they sensationalize it. So, even even when the in this case Amanda's, you know having say on things, they still want to make the program good and, like you know, suspenseful or whatever. But yeah, I thought that was a funny little tidbit to add.

Speaker 2 31:57

That is, that's so crazy and it just shows the Italian prosecutors, I think had it out for Amanda because she was an American, so it became this like Italian versus.

Speaker 1 32:09

American thing.

Speaker 2 32:10

Plus, I think they just wanted it to be her because they didn't like how she was acting, because it was weird when the body was getting discovered and stuff she and her boyfriend kept like hugging and kissing and stuff.

Speaker 4 32:25

They were actually comforting each other, but the media, to your point, turned it into like oh, your roommates murdered, and you guys?

Speaker 2 32:31

are all lovey-dovey making out and when we say roommates, they hadn't been roommates very long, so this also wasn't like her closest best friend ever. It was more like, hey, we have a room, anyone can come rent it. So she also wasn't like super close with Meredith and I think they were newer friends, newer roommates. So again, it's not like your family member has been found murdered. It's still just Well not to mention.

Speaker 4 32:56

You're probably in a bit of shock. I mean the person that you live with just was murdered, and you are the one that, like, stumbled onto the scene. So how do you want me to act? No, exactly, I don't know.

Speaker 2 33:07

Well, it's just like the Idaho murders and how everyone in the beginning kept saying the woman or the roommate who saw, you know Brian Koberger exiting, supposedly, and said all she could remember were his bushy eyebrows. Everyone's like oh, she must know more.

Speaker 4 33:24

There's two roommates there that were alive. She didn't act like a normal person would act after she saw somebody in her home. Yeah, but I guess, like, how do you define normal? And until you've been in a situation that murder is at your front door, right, yeah, that might be the title of the yeah, I mean, who knows Right?

Speaker 3 33:43

So, I'll let you know if it if my dateline so just to clarify this is a limited series show, Not a, not another documentary.

Speaker 4 33:53

It's not a documentary Right and some of the facts have been changed for the television drama.

Speaker 2 33:59

And it's on Hulu, and it's on Hulu.

Speaker 3 34:01

Yeah, I brought something kind of shifting gears a little bit about from Amanda to. Well, let's just talk about the movies then.

Speaker 4 34:11

Well, I was just if we were going to go into a little. Are we doing product today?

Speaker 3 34:17

I was going to do a product review, but it seems like you have something that you have to say.

Speaker 4 34:20

I just want to slip this one thing in, because it's the ever, ever conversational laboo boo. I had a weak moment we were. Last weekend the three of us were in East Lansing. Last weekend, the three of us were in East.

Speaker 1 34:36

Lansing.

Speaker 4 34:37

Well, you guys might have saw the pic of all three of us in a giant Kingside's bed living the life of a slipper. And that morning I got on the phone and I saw that Walmart was having a collab with Pop Mart and they were selling a pack of six Labubus of this new have a Seat collection.

Speaker 3 34:59

The real Labubus?

Speaker 2 35:01

Yes, they have been verified by StockX. Shout out to StockX, which is a Detroit-based company.

Speaker 3 35:07

That's true.

Speaker 4 35:08

And yeah, they have the seal on it. I haven't opened it. There's six of them in there and I'm guaranteed no dupes and I'll get all six that are pictured, unless duo duo, which is the rare one within this set, happens to do a swap out and so duo duo could be in there.

Speaker 3 35:27

but if not, I've got he that's the name of it duo, duo duo.

Speaker 4 35:31

Duo is the rare one as part of this collection, otherwise I've got he, he cc da, da z z baba and qq.

Ballsy Product Review

Speaker 3 35:40

Are you gonna open it? All of them no, I'm just.

Speaker 4 35:42

I'm still debating, so I don't know what to do. I don't know if I open them and keep them, open them and gift them, open them and sell them. Don't open it and sell it.

Speaker 2 35:51

I'm in a boo-boo conundrum so let's just just say this Slippers, If you're into boo-boos, maybe start calling, emailing, DMing us and see what you can do for us.

Speaker 1 36:05

Maybe they're for sale.

Speaker 2 36:06

Maybe they're for giveaway, I don't know, but we need some. I'll take some boo-boo advice.

Speaker 1 36:12

We need some.

Speaker 2 36:12

Slipper commentary about these boo-boos.

Speaker 4 36:15

I am on the struggle bus with it.

Speaker 3 36:18

Are you tempted to open up?

Speaker 4 36:19

I'm tempted to yes, like I could start bonding with them.

Speaker 3 36:22

Do you have a booboo fam?

Speaker 4 36:23

I could start bonding with them now, but I'm like no, I'm like put it off, put it off.

Speaker 2 36:28

Well, let me tell you this I do know Cynthia Bailey of Real Housewives of Atlanta. She has hee-hee and she has it on her handbag.

Speaker 3 36:37

How much is that worth? Do you know I?

Speaker 2 36:40

don't think it's worth more than $30.

Speaker 1 36:42

Oh really.

Speaker 2 36:43

Well, I think it's fairly common LeBooBoo. Oh, okay, Well and I will also add this I've now heard there is, at least in Michigan, a couple of vendors setting up in malls selling labubus, saying they're real, but they're really lafufus. Yeah, and his wife went to the Somerset Mall, which is in suburban Detroit, and bought LeBooBoos from a vendor there.

Speaker 4 37:21

In Somerset In.

Speaker 2 37:23

Somerset.

Speaker 3 37:24

That's an upscale mall. Yeah, I saw that picture.

Speaker 2 37:25

It's a very upscale mall. It has all your high-end stores and in the end they were all LeFooFoos, wow, wow. So don't assume, because you see a vendor in a legitimate mall setting, that they're really the boo-boos, they very.

Speaker 4 37:41

In that moment you're probably losing your mind. You're like oh my god I've stumbled on a laboo. It's a lafoo, yeah, so you better run oh my god, 100 are we ready for?

Speaker 3 37:53

a review review now.

Speaker 4 37:54

I'm sorry about that. They've been sitting here patiently and they were waiting for their spotlight moment, so I apologize. That's totally fine.

Speaker 3 38:03

That's totally fine. I wanted to bring something that I have used for quite some time here in the pod. We talked about our favorite tree nuts. For quite a bit we have. I'm going to talk a little bit about how to keep a specific kind of nut a little bit more fresh, which is our balls.

Speaker 1 38:22

So we're dropping one.

Speaker 4 38:24

We're going from three nuts to two nuts for a product review. Got it.

Speaker 2 38:27

Well, if you're Lance Armstrong, that's one nut.

Speaker 4 38:30

There we go, then the product will go a lot longer.

Speaker 3 38:35

There is a very clever company called Ballsy and Ballsy has created this liquid powder called Ballguard and it is like a liquid form of like a baby powder for your balls. The goal of this is just to keep them fresh, not to have shreddy balls.

Speaker 4 39:00

No, shafting. Chafing you mean shafting is a different product for that same area, but yes, okay yeah, there you go, like whatever maddie said oh my god, um a good few facts about this is that this ball guard, it's not a powder, it's a liquid, so it's a lotion that you put on your balls.

Speaker 3 39:25

It was actually made for just your balls, so it's not a lotion that you use for any place on your body and then you use it on your balls. This is specifically for the tendon, the tenderness of your balls so sensitive, like for you. If you're sensitive when it comes to that, this is a good you know product that you can use. It fights the swamped crotch syndrome, which some people might it's a syndrome I've heard about it yeah

Speaker 4 39:51

well swamp ass. Have you heard of swamp?

Speaker 2 39:53

ass, can you?

Speaker 4 39:54

put that? Can you put that in your crack?

Speaker 3 39:57

You can put it in the crack. Oh, you can. Yeah, you can put it in there.

Speaker 2 39:58

Well, so this just really sounds like Lume to me.

Speaker 3 40:01

It's a special one. Lume has a different.

Speaker 2 40:05

Well, Lume's marketed to everyone and anyone, and for all over your body.

Speaker 4 40:08

Yeah, this is just for your balls, well if you just happen to just slip it in your crack, will be very happy about it too. So do you. Are you? What would you give this on a scale of one to 10?

Speaker 3 40:24

Oh, I give it like a 9.5. I use it on a regular basis.

Speaker 4 40:28

So I don't use it. You brought a sample and I will tell you this One thing that I did, even though it's for your balls oh, you went. I put it further well, I know I put it.

Speaker 3 40:40

I thought you went in your no.

Speaker 4 40:41

I actually put it on my hands to then because I wanted to like just smell it and also feel it with my hands and I. You know what it felt like to me after it kind of dried, it felt like chalk, kind of like if you were in a gymnast and I was just about to do the high bar.

Speaker 2 41:00

Yeah.

Speaker 4 41:02

This ballsy I could do twists and turns and vaults and I don't you know the rings.

Speaker 2 41:08

You'll be a new Mary Lou Retton. I could do the rings. And weren't you a gymnast? Well, I was. You knew I was a gymnast.

Speaker 4 41:16

Well, I was. Yeah, whoa, you knew, I was a gymnast.

Speaker 2 41:19

In what grade?

Speaker 4 41:23

Fifth grade Because ever since I've known you, you've never been a gymnast. In grade school I was. I had several blue ribbons.

Speaker 3 41:30

And I always thought, Megan, that he was a gymnast.

Speaker 4 41:33

This is why I can do better.

Speaker 2 41:35

Grade school gymnast To is why I can do better Grade school gymnast.

Speaker 4 41:38

To this day, I can still do a round off. Who can't? I want to see you do a fucking round off.

Speaker 2 41:44

I can round off. Everyone can round off In my mind.

Speaker 4 41:47

I see your legs swinging to the side.

Speaker 2 41:50

No, I do crossover and down straight up. This is why I can do backflips off the diving board.

Speaker 3 41:56

Do you do a split?

Speaker 2 41:57

No, I've never been able to do a split, but I don't think he can split it either. I can't split it Exactly.

Speaker 4 42:04

Yeah, I did floor and uneven bars.

Speaker 2 42:08

I think most people. I mean, I was a grade school gymnast too. I didn't consider that gymnastics at that level.

Speaker 4 42:16

If you're in gymnastics, okay good to know. I'll start putting that on my resume, so you tried it on your hands, yeah and I smelled it and I do get the baby powder-ish stuff.

Speaker 3 42:31

So I support it. Do you give a rating to Well?

Speaker 4 42:35

I'd have to try it down there and maybe detour it around.

Speaker 3 42:39

Yeah, detour it. And you know, one thing that I said that I liked about Volsi is that they're very humorous and kind of like have a pun under any product that they have. They have a nut rub which is like a cologne for your area, that word you were saying.

Speaker 2 42:56

Shafting. Shafting.

Speaker 4 42:58

Nut rub sounds more appropriate for them.

Speaker 3 43:02

And they have the good head shampoo.

Speaker 4 43:04

So they always use. They have a play on words, Don't they have a boobsy guard?

Speaker 3 43:08

They have a boob guard, so they created now a boob guard.

Speaker 4 43:10

They should have called it boobsy. So you're ballsy and boobsy, they should have. Oh, they should have. They should have called me, I mean like come on, people, you're marketed, I am, that's what.

Speaker 3 43:18

And she's like oh, jj is talking about things. That is not for me. Palsy also offers the boob guard, because I mean boob sweat can happen. I've never experienced it, but Well, we've got someone here.

Speaker 4 43:31

Do you want to comment on boob sweat?

Speaker 2 43:33

I mean, if I'm working out, yeah, but I mean I think it's more, not boobs. It's like in between, if you have large breasts, if you have small breasts, I don't think you have a problem, but I will say you can find all these I was gonna say glorious products on our link.

Speaker 3 43:48

Glorious, yeah and like tree. Um, if you find it, if you buy it through our link tree, if you buy one item is 15, if you buy two of the ball guard you save about 12, and if our link trees, I think, linked it to the amazon link, yes, you have a 10 discount but if you only got one ball, I would just go with one first, before you get the buy one.

Speaker 4 44:11

Get one, but you could give one to your friend.

Speaker 3 44:12

Yeah, try it out, try it out slip that in and maybe pull it out it dries quickly, so you're gonna have to be fast.

Speaker 4 44:21

It's a transition. It's a transition.

Taco Bell's Decades Menu Returns

Speaker 2 44:23

With that I think it's time for some slip it ins and pull it outs. And let me tell you, my slip it in had me giddy, giddy, giddy. So Taco Bell has a.

Speaker 4 44:37

Here we go again, here we go. I was mid, mid sip, but I had to get that down quick.

Speaker 2 44:43

Well, here we are, so if people remember, back at the Bell, yeah, back at the Bell. Last year, taco Bell came out with a decades menu where they brought back items from over the years that had been discontinued. So when they brought it out, they had some things like a tostada and a green burrito, which were from like the 70s. So like I got to try them and they were both excellent. So now, fast forward. We're coming into the fall. Taco bell is releasing its decades menu again. They haven't officially announced the date yet, but they have teased us with what will be on it.

Speaker 2 45:23

And let me tell you I'm so excited. One of my all-time favorite Taco Bell items that was discontinued in COVID. The Mexican pizza's been back it was discontinued and there was such an uproar, Taco Bell brought it back and it's a permanent menu item.

Speaker 3 45:41

It's permanent.

Speaker 2 45:42

Yes, Besides the Mexican pizza, my other top item that Taco Bell discontinued in COVID seven layer burrito. Oh, my God, it's on the list to come back.

Speaker 3 45:56

Do you think it's going to be a permanent too?

Speaker 2 45:58

I'm hoping because you want to know whenever the doctor and I have a little Taco Bell. Is that on the reg?

Speaker 3 46:04

No I mean it's not that regular, but I mean I have a little Taco Bell. Is that on the reg? No, I mean it's not that regular.

Speaker 2 46:07

But I mean, I do love my Taco Bell, so sometimes I'm like I think it's a Taco Bell night and the doctor loves the seven layer burrito even more than I do. So I've had to come up with concoctions where I have customized burritos to make a seven layer burrito, because they have all the ingredients. You basically have to just customize a burrito to get to a seven layer burrito.

Speaker 3 46:32

So what is in a seven? I'm not a big burrito fan.

Speaker 4 46:37

God, you just ruined her giddy up.

Speaker 3 46:39

Well, I know Well, but I want to know. It's like a seven layer dip type of thing on the burrito.

Speaker 2 46:44

It's a seven layer dip in a burrito, okay, and it's a dream, okay. And why Taco Bell had to discontinue it in COVID, I'll never know, but anyway it's coming back.

Speaker 3 46:52

You should bring it to the pod so that we can try it.

Speaker 2 46:54

Oh, believe me, it'll be out. It'll be a product review for sure. The other thing that's coming coming back is the Cool Ranch.

Speaker 1 47:04

Doritos Locos.

Speaker 2 47:06

So those also got discontinued. I didn't know that they have regular Doritos tacos, but they got rid of the Cool Ranch. But they're coming back on this decade's menu.

Speaker 4 47:18

So we'll keep you updated. Where do you find the time? Well, I mean you are a Taco Bell influencer.

Speaker 3 47:22

They have a Taco Bell night.

Speaker 2 47:25

Well, but not I mean only when there's new items. I can't imagine that household.

Speaker 4 47:29

That household is lit up Shafting.

Speaker 1 47:36

With seven layers. Let's move on to a pull it out Okay.

Michael Franti Controversy

Speaker 2 47:40

And this is not so giddy. So I have always been a very big Michael Franti fan and so I don't know. I'm assuming there's other. Well, I know Michael Franti has a huge following. He tours consistently, he has soul rocker cruises and he's always come across as such, like an amazing guy with a great message. He's a beautiful songwriter, singer, and I've been a huge fan for years. Well, I recently saw he canceled this tour and his Soul Rocker cruise. That's coming up and his management dropped him.

Speaker 2 48:20

So I delved a little further into what's going on and Victoria Canal, a Spanish-American singer-songwriter, essentially accused Franti of grooming her and sexual abuse. She never officially named him. She just went on Instagram and said she was groomed by an older musician she was touring with who touched her in non-consensual ways and coerced her into not telling. Well, the Internet sleuths easily figured out Sleuths. It was, yeah, michael Franti, and it all came tumbling out that it was him. He's denied the allegations. He says it was a consensual relationship, but obviously whenever it's you know a 19-year and you know a 50 something man, it becomes questionable.

Speaker 4 49:08

This is a long pull it out.

Speaker 2 49:10

Well, I'm devastated.

Speaker 4 49:11

Yeah, yeah, it's, it's it's always sad when somebody you I wouldn't I'm not saying you idolize, but like someone, you enjoy their craft, what they put out into the universe, that type of thing. And somebody that you do you do say stuff like I've always loved his music, I always thought they were a great person, and then it all comes crashing down. That's sad.

Speaker 2 49:35

Well and he played out having this sort of all loving, beautiful type person Like. So he's the type of person that you would never expect to act in these ways because of his persona.

Speaker 4 49:48

You know other people I don't really know who he is, but I know you played a song and I immediately recognized sound of sunshine yeah, but rainy days here yeah, yeah, okay, well, we better move on we will move on.

Speaker 3 50:03

Yeah, I have a slip it in and I just switched my slip it in as we were talking today.

Speaker 3 50:08

Um, I had one at the beginning of our episode and I now changed it um, because I it made me think, it made me kind of um giddy about it oh I guess that's the word I was watching the real housewives of OC this past week and I noticed that you know that they're all bringing their glam squats now everywhere they go oh, yeah, every single trip, which is great. But I was looking at one of the castmates and they were doing their makeup and I noticed that they were having so many brown spots in their faces like big lines, and I'm like I've seen this before. Drag queens yes, oh, that is my slip it in oh, drag queens have brought in the concept of contouring to all worlds. Oh, 100%.

Speaker 2 51:00

Oh, I don't think that came from drag.

Speaker 3 51:02

I think so.

Speaker 4 51:04

I think women have been contouring for years.

Speaker 3 51:07

Not to the level of what we see and what they're doing now. We've seen it so much on the RuPaul drag show all the time.

Speaker 2 51:18

It is very severe.

Contour Wars and Instapot Revival

Speaker 3 51:19

Well, if it was Megan, it was never televised the way that it is now.

Speaker 2 51:23

It has been televised since the. Kardashians came out Contouring at that level.

Speaker 3 51:30

But RuPaul has 18 seasons, 18 years onto it.

Speaker 2 51:33

Kardashians is older than that and Kim K used to do.

Speaker 4 51:38

No, she used to always do makeup tutorials about her contouring. You might want to change your. Pull it out, because I think you got a new one.

Speaker 3 51:44

She just loves to damn know my slip it in.

Speaker 4 51:47

Post production is going to be a nightmare.

Speaker 2 51:50

I get your commentary about the contouring.

Speaker 4 51:52

Can he have a little joy? He asked.

Speaker 2 51:54

I'm trying to get in so the joy is about contouring being shown on TV or contouring coming from drag queens. What's the slip it in?

Speaker 3 52:02

The slip it in is me realizing that drag queens have? Influence, influence the way that makeup is being portrayed I agree with you 100.

Speaker 4 52:14

It does with the contouring.

Speaker 3 52:16

That is my slip it in well.

Speaker 2 52:17

From the straight girl in the room who wears makeup every day, I can tell you I don't think it came from the drag queens wow, okay, gauntlet has been thrown all right

Speaker 4 52:27

and that is my pull out what, what megan?

Speaker 1 52:30

just come everything straight girls everything megan just said, to pull it out.

Speaker 3 52:34

Okay, all right, her poo-pooing. All right, you guys, we're gonna turn this turn this around with my um.

Speaker 4 52:42

Mine is not gonna be that controversial. Oh well, let me see. Should I change my pull it out, my slip it in is instapots, I love that and here's why I think, I believe, like all the time you know, their companies are trying to come out with a new small appliance, a new kitchen like George. Foreman, for example. You know the air fryers right now are having a moment.

Speaker 3 53:13

I cannot live without them Right.

Speaker 4 53:15

I use it all the time too, but Instapot had its moment. It kind of died. I put my Instapot on my baker's rack and haven't touched it for probably two years. I put my Instapot on my baker's rack and haven't touched it for probably two years. But I like to pre-cook chicken and have chicken available like as a snack, and so I'm like I remember I used to use my Instapot to make chicken and it's a really healthy way to do it. I can put a whole packet of Costco chicken in there, set it, forget it and let it go, and then I take it out and it's done and it's cooked in broth. So it's not being fried, it's not touching oil, it's not touching butter, it's not getting dried out in the oven, it's moist, it's ready to go. And now I've done it two weeks in a row and I'm doing it typically on Sunday or Monday for the week. And so if you have one, just you know, tap it on the shoulder and say hello, get reacquainted, slip it back into your routine.

Speaker 1 54:10

Especially with fall season coming in oh right, and you can do a lot.

Speaker 4 54:14

Yeah, I've done some really good soups in it.

Speaker 1 54:16

Yeah.

Speaker 4 54:16

And that.

Speaker 3 54:17

I'm a lot. I love chili.

Speaker 4 54:26

I love me some soup season, sweater, soup season, sweater weather yes, sweater weather. My pull it out is I have a friend who could use a little pick me up, but I'm not willing to spend $6.99 on a greeting card. So let me frame it a little bit more. My pull it out is the price of a greeting card. Like the intent of a greeting card is to show somebody that you're thinking of them and now they're taking advantage of us.

Speaker 4 54:52

That's why you go to you find a card and you're like beautiful card. You flip it over it's 6.99. I'm like 6.99, just to say hang in there. I'm like I. No, I don't want it. I don't want to pay 699 wait. So when you get a card, you just looked at what, how much no, when I buying it because I, like I try to keep I feel comfortable around 499.

Speaker 3 55:14

Price point 699 just go to dollar tree and I don't want well, I don't want to send a signal that I'm I skip.

Speaker 4 55:21

I know it's weird, but I don't want to skip off to the card.

Speaker 2 55:25

Yeah, but if they flip it up. No one looks at the price when they receive a card.

Speaker 4 55:29

They know a Dollar Tree card when they see one.

Speaker 2 55:31

No.

Speaker 3 55:32

Which is fine. I think the gesture is what matters to me.

Speaker 2 55:36

I've never looked like judged a card that I've gotten.

Speaker 4 55:40

Oh well, I've been a little judgy Judy before, but I mean like only on my own purchases If. I get a card, I feel grateful because I love getting snail mail. I love it Well.

Speaker 2 55:52

I've already got some issues with JJ in this episode, but I'm about to call out some new issues with.

Speaker 1 55:57

Maddie With me.

Speaker 2 55:58

Yes, because when we talked earlier about this, you actually said whenever you get a card in the mail or receive a card you immediately turn it over and look at the dollar.

Speaker 4 56:09

I'm saying that was taken out of context.

Speaker 3 56:12

I didn't say I would agree to Megan which I was not expecting me to agree at this point in my life.

Speaker 4 56:18

That's not entirely true. I might do a quick glance on the back looking for a Hallmark stamp, just to see it, or if it's an American greeting.

Speaker 3 56:27

This is a topic.

Speaker 4 56:30

Papyrus is so good, I know by the envelope papyrus, or like if there's a butterfly glued to the front of it papi it's not a butterfly, it's a hummingbird. It's many, there's a lot of hummingbirds the logo, but they love to put a little emblem on their cards they should do, which makes it? Pricier to also mail, because you've got to put extra stuff.

Speaker 3 56:53

I think that this is a whole topic that we can talk about. I don't appreciate you talking free pride. Megan is in the hot seat with Maddie and Jason, if anyone wants to send me.

Speaker 4 57:03

I would prefer a homemade card, quite honestly.

Speaker 3 57:06

So I just like I think your sister used to do.

Speaker 4 57:08

Yes, and they were beautiful, I still. I kept a couple of them. Okay, well, hopefully.

Speaker 1 57:14

We are going to you.

Speaker 4 57:15

guys don't even know what's going to happen If we did a behind the scenes after the after the show. Shit's about to happen.

Speaker 2 57:21

Ooh, it's about to get real. I have now refriended JJ on my side.

Speaker 4 57:25

I don't know about that. Well, it only takes me to say one thing, contour, and you're back at it.

Speaker 2 57:32

She's shaming Well with that, I think I do have to go do some contouring.
