Welcome Back Slippers

Speaker 1 0:21

You'll laugh, you'll cringe, you'll beg for more, with a guilty pleasure you can't ignore, like a drunk text sent at 2 am. We slipped it in again. Welcome, welcome. Welcome, everyone. We are back, slipping it in with you. This is Megan.

Speaker 2 0:43

This is your favorite storyteller, Maddie.

Speaker 3 0:46

You can not call me Papi, but you can call me JJ.

Speaker 1 0:49

Well, with that, and before we jump in, I want to remind everyone to check out our Linktree account for links to products we review or discuss and for links to all of our socials, our website and where you can listen to all of the episodes. Our link tree can be found at and, once again, we've heard from one of our loyal slippers, black Eyed Susan. She's back, yep, she's back, and she's shopping at Aldi and she wants to let us know that Aldi has amazing greeting cards for $1.99. Oh, does she?

Speaker 1 1:31

Yes, so, Matty, when you're wanting to send someone that little, pick me up and $6.99 is too much. Go to.

Speaker 2 1:39

Aldi, go to Aldi, but it's going to cost me a quarter to get my cart to go in there.

Speaker 1 1:43

You don't need a card. You don't need a card. Yeah, I agree, jj, I agree.

Speaker 2 1:48

So I mean the word amazing subjective. So I'll check it out.

Speaker 4 1:54

I'll check it out.

Speaker 2 1:54

I'll check it out but OK, noted and report really at the end of the day. Dollar ninety nine to ninety, nine, six, ninety nine A $6.99 $1.25, $1.30. I mean, it's really just the sentiment, right? Isn't that what I'm trying to say? It was your pull it out.

Speaker 3 2:09

I know, I'm just trying to like. Just make sure that you don't flip that card.

Speaker 4 2:15

Do you see me backpedaling?

Speaker 2 2:16

Backpedaling episode after episode. Okay, alright, alright, I have a piece of feedback, not from a Fan per se, but a family really is who it came from, and our conversations around the poop antics that would happen in public places inspired a memory of theirs. So as a young boy he was at a store, a department store, with his mom. She lost sight of him for a second and, when she finally found out, found him he was pooping in the store's model toilet.

Speaker 2 2:55

I'm like I love it. I mean like as a kid, you see it, you got to go. I'm like better than going in his pants.

High School Memories and Forensics

Speaker 3 3:02

Right, and I'm sure that probably it was. It's. He's not the first person. Oh, I'm like better than going in his pants, right, and I'm sure that probably it was. He's not the first person or the first kid that's seen a toilet, like when they are in Home Depot, that they don't want to be in Home Depot and they just want to.

Speaker 2 3:13

They have to go whoever's setting up those displays. It's smart. Now I think you would. Just I would tape it down.

Speaker 3 3:19

I think that they do. They have like a little label on top of that yeah, one.

Speaker 2 3:24

And then you learn your last sentence.

Speaker 3 3:26

You take that mother down, kind of related to that, although I'm not agreeing with this. Your whole take on the farts and the smell of your farts and how much you love them. I'm sure Megan agrees with me on that. I totally agree with you Again subjective subjective no, not really but this past week I was listening to the jeff lewis life um radio show that's a shock megan, and I well megan got me into it, got me into it um, so I'm I'm now an avid listener to the jeff lewis um.

Speaker 4 4:00

But comedian uh becky robinson from the entitled housewives.

Speaker 3 4:02

She had a little to the Jeff Lewis, we know, we know, we know. But comedian Becky Robinson from the Entitled Housewives, she had a little take on regards of farts that I do agree with her about. I do and listen to me, Maddie.

Speaker 1 4:14

I'm listening, she says that whenever you're able.

Speaker 3 4:20

If you're able to fart around your significant other, your partner, your spouse, it is a level unlocked on the relationship, like it's.

Speaker 2 4:30

It's a turning point. It is a turning point.

Speaker 3 4:32

Yeah, and I do agree with that because I feel that once you're able to fart around or poop around your partner and feels that you're a little bit more comfortable around that person, I totally disagree.

Speaker 1 4:44

I think it's unnecessary and I don't think it's a turning point that needs to be turned.

Speaker 3 4:49

I think you're getting closer together.

Speaker 2 4:52

What's funny about that? And I'm trying to think, because I can't have a specific memory, but I know when I've been in that situation where I'm like, do I let it fly? Has enough time went? Like, how are they going to react to this? Do I act like it was an accident and then just be like, okay, now, now I've got a policy, an open door policy, to let them fly? But I agree, I am with you, JJ and I. It's just, it's so hard to hold them in and then they they go through like they circle up into your body and they're like I'm good for a second.

Speaker 2 5:25

And then it's like, oh, it's back, it's coming back yeah you're like, excuse me, I gotta go, I gotta run to the garage yeah, so you know, becky, I'm agreeing with you okay. Well, it's that time of year. I've been noticing on my commute now into work that, uh, the, the local cross guard is out, the, the buses are in full effect, kids are back in school. I do love that from a um traveling standpoint, cause I, right Like my travel game changes when I'm like. Well, at least the kids will be in school.

Speaker 3 5:57

So well, like not if I live in a big um school district area and it's, it's a nightmare for me I said when I'm traveling oh, like, I am, like I'm gonna go.

Speaker 2 6:09

Like, if I'm going to new york city, for example, there won't be probably as many people in general, because anyone traveling with their children will not be traveling, because those children are hopefully in school wait, I was not listening to that part.

Speaker 3 6:22

Well, um, I was just thinking about my commute to work or any other place like outside around the area, like the times of, like school, you know times it's, it's just a nightmare well, okay, there's pros and cons, like, yeah, that's why I don't go into the office till like 10, because then the buses have made their routes.

Speaker 2 6:45

And I remember when I used I had to ride the bus. Did you guys ride a bus?

Speaker 4 6:49

yes yeah, well, you lived in the country like I did no, I didn't

Speaker 2 6:53

no, what'd you guys ride?

Speaker 3 6:54

you walked we either walked or we were dropped off by our parents oh okay, yeah, I, I went to a to school, like in very, very small private Christian school, so we you know. Yeah, it was very close.

Speaker 2 7:08

Oh well, Christians were on my bus too. There were also some bullies on my bus. I remember that there was. The first three rows in my bus were by this family. They were all related. They were either sisters or cousins, and they might not, they were sitting next to each other well, they owned the first three rows. You were not allowed. They got, and it was always like, oh, and I I know their name, you can't and I hope you're listening because I will not say it, but you, you know who you were.

Speaker 2 7:44

You were like no, you can't sit in the first three rows. Those are for the, and they were all. There was one boy, six females.

Speaker 3 7:53

Cute boy, cute boy.

Speaker 2 7:54

No, no, no I don't know, JJ. All I know, I was just always like it was uncomfortable and I would just go to the back of the bus and hopefully find a seat by myself, but anyway, so I don't know. That's a memory that sticks with me, but I OK, let me ask you guys this If you had the choice, would you want to go back to high school and do anything over, or even go back? I wouldn't. I mean I didn't enjoy it, yeah I I liked high school.

Speaker 1 8:28

Well, we did have some shenanigans yeah, we, we had a lot of fun yeah I have some bad memories.

Speaker 2 8:34

I have some good and bad.

Speaker 3 8:35

I don't think I I don't I mean, that's the relationship of high school and that experience that you both have, that I don't have, probably with the friendship that we have because you, you did spend high school together. Yeah, probably a blessing and a curse, um.

Speaker 2 8:50

I'm gonna go blessed oh, you're gonna go definitely. I mean, you see us today and you're like, had you not met, maybe you wouldn't have to deal with the way you deal with now. But I would take it. I take it. It was like no, I she was. She's a very, very best close friend of mine now and she was then. So that's, it's a blessing we had. Yeah, we'll get it. That's. We're going to get into a couple of things about our shenanigans.

Speaker 4 9:15

Yeah, yeah, I'm ready.

Speaker 3 9:17

I'm ready to listen to the stories. That's. That's what I was. I was going to get myself into Like I'm, like, I want to listen to. I mean, I've heard some of those stories and I'm I'm curious to see what the slippers think about.

Speaker 1 9:28

Yeah, oh well, oh, we can. Well, I do. I always think about um. Our senior year, we were in forensics and our school was a small school of small public like forensic files no, forensics is a competitive speech.

Speaker 3 9:45

We're dissecting little files, isn't it the same word?

Speaker 1 9:48

Yeah, but that's forensic science. Forensics is a competitive speech and debate competition that's put on through high schools throughout the country and it's focused on public speaking storytelling newscasting acting. So our school always had a pretty strong forensics team and you could do monologues, newscasting. But the big prime thing was every year they did a multiple, which was multiple people, and it was kind of like a small little play where you had to transition from different scenes, that was usually around 15 minutes in length yeah, yeah to 15 minutes so on.

Speaker 1 10:29

In junior year I was part of the multiple and that was my first year doing it. Was really fun and we didn't have any other type of drama program. So if you were interested in anything theatrical or but, we had drama class. I was in it, not in high school. You're thinking of middle school.

Speaker 4 10:48

We had a very that was middle school.

Speaker 1 10:51

Oh wow, we had a very strong theater program in middle school, but nothing in high school.

Speaker 2 10:55

Shout out to that teacher. That is shocking now that I think back on it.

Speaker 1 10:58

Yeah, well, they put all the money into sports. So anyway.

Speaker 2 11:01

Well, that is not shocking.

Speaker 1 11:01

So anyway, the only outlet we had was forensics, and junior year we were both in forensics. I think, Matty, you did a monologue.

Speaker 2 11:08

I did a solo, I was part of the multiple.

Speaker 1 11:11

And I didn't want to do something on my own. I liked being part of the team. So the last year, senior year, I think we maybe both tried out I don't know for the multiple and didn't get in.

Speaker 3 11:22

And they're like oh, you have to audition.

Speaker 2 11:24

I don't think I auditioned Okay, cause you recruited me, yeah. Well, then I was mad because I'm like I want to do this activity. Especially because it was your senior year.

Speaker 1 11:34

Yeah, and they were doing the school one that was sponsored and directed by the school program director for forensics was Pink Floyd the wall. So I think I was just not like into it. Well, I don't know, I didn't. I didn't get cast, so I still wanted to participate. So basically, I recruited all my friends and said let's do our own multiple.

Speaker 1 11:57

And the school basically said you can, because you, anyone, could be a part of the program. That we just couldn't. It wouldn't be directed by the program director, we had to do it all ourselves.

Speaker 2 12:07

Can I tell you my memory of that. And both are probably they're different. So it's just been a while. I feel like in my story, in my head, I feel like they told us we couldn't at first.

Speaker 1 12:22

Oh, I think they did.

Speaker 2 12:23

They're like no, we're having one, we have a multiple, and then I do think we had an advocate and a teacher who wasn't necessarily able to support us.

Speaker 1 12:33

She was an ex a prior program director and she said listen if these students want to organize their own then let's not get in their way.

Speaker 2 12:43

So props to Mrs Gillespie.

Speaker 1 12:44

It was yeah, okay, okay, thank you.

Speaker 2 12:47

That's why you know we shout out to all teachers because they really believe in their students, and that is a proof of that. All these years later, and that memory is ingrained in my head yes, it was true, because she advocated for it.

Speaker 1 13:00

And there was space. There was I mean, they took big buses to the competitions. There was space for us. So it really didn't cost the school any money and had it been a money thing, we could have easily paid. It's not like it was thousands of dollars. So we put together our own multiple. There were six of us, so six high school students, Nice and we had to write it, direct it, place it, perform it all on our own. And we did it on our own and many times we beat the school one Wow, and the competitions.

Speaker 2 13:34

Oh, yes, and it was always, and this group of six, like we were pieces of work, I mean when we would try to do after.

Speaker 3 13:41

I am not surprised by that comment.

Speaker 2 13:43

I remember some of the after school like rehearsals. And I'm just like get me the fuck out of here. We are out of our minds.

Speaker 1 13:53

What are we doing I cannot.

Speaker 2 13:58

Ours was fun, ours was on, ours was.

Speaker 1 14:01

The Poems by Jack Perlutsky, who's an American writer of children's poetry and he's published over 50 poetry collections so his poems were kind of childish and fun, so ours was very lighthearted and fun and our transitions from scenes. We do things like sing a chewing gum song or sing sing like a teddy bear song the dump, or yeah, we had all like funny little things. So as it is with the oscars, even we sometimes didn't win because we were more light-hearted and not the dramatic ones drama usually wins over comedy.

Speaker 2 14:38

Like, like, yeah, and we were all in like primary colors. We each had a primary color like from a crayon book.

Speaker 3 14:44

Yes, I got it.

Speaker 2 14:44

See, I know I'll get to get closer to the mic, sorry.

Speaker 3 14:47

I'm trying to button it and just try to speak with my eyes, I guess.

Speaker 2 14:50

So we have a blue, like a t-shirt blue, and we were lighthearted fun. They were again Pink Floyd, the Wall, dark, all black, you know, very dramatic.

Speaker 1 15:05

As were many of the other schools.

Speaker 3 15:07

On and off. Oh really, it was not just them, but like most of them, yeah, most of them were Drama, and they all were very black and we came in.

Speaker 2 15:14

Yeah, we came in like modern day bridesmaids show, like right, like listen. We deserve our moment.

Speaker 3 15:21

Yeah, you were like the La La Land yeah.

Speaker 1 15:24

We went to the state finals and everything, and the team that ultimately won was from a different school and theirs was something on like Hitler and it was a very dark.

Speaker 2 15:35

They were good Schindler's List, really yeah.

Speaker 4 15:39

So they were going to had some girl.

Speaker 1 15:41

There was like raya but it was heaven when we, you know, would be our school team. So because it was kind of like, matty and I were very good students. We graduated top of our class with honors, but we were a and b students without really putting in much effort yeah, and I believe in that yeah, and I feel like, with activities like this, they were gravitating towards the straight A students and placing them Cause they, you know, would make it look good on their college applications, not assuming like we would be very successful and go to school as well.

Speaker 3 16:16

I was my class president.

Speaker 1 16:17

Oh wow, look at you. Well I'm. I was class trendsetter. There we go.

Speaker 2 16:22

I was not.

Speaker 3 16:24

Again, I'm not surprised by that either.

High School Traumas and Digital Dangers

Speaker 2 16:26

Well, she got class trendsetter because she was like embracing penny loafers with white socks, rolled up pants.

Speaker 3 16:36

Well, Michael Jackson and she had a really bedazzled new york city.

Speaker 1 16:42

Uh, blue jean jacket I remember oh yeah, I mean, where do you have it? I mean where that one? Yes, I do, I have it. You dare pull it out anytime. It's a great jacket.

Speaker 2 16:50

Yeah, you dare to wear that to school on tuesday. You deserve the award and when I knew she was getting it, because, like, all signs pointed to her direction, I actually launched a campaign to get this. So there was a female and a male boy and a girl winner of this award, and so I am like what if we got this particular beep beep guy, that's his name, beep beep guy, that's his name.

Speaker 4 17:17

Oh.

Speaker 2 17:17

And he was. This had nothing to do with fashion and everything to do with disorderly conduct.

Speaker 1 17:25

Well, he also carried a Bible around.

Speaker 2 17:27

Oh, so he would walk through the halls with a Bible. Well, he got in a lot of trouble and then he started showing up with a Bible and I'm like I mean, if that ain't trending. If that ain't turning the corner and setting a new trend, I don't know what is. So I campaigned my ass off to get him.

Speaker 3 17:44

For me, yeah, oh, to get him out.

Speaker 1 17:46

No to get him. So all my photos for Class Trendsetter was with him and his Bible.

Speaker 2 17:50

He hated me so much because she loved the award but she had to take pictures with Bible Boy in the yearbook and everything.

Speaker 1 17:59

Well, the other shenanigan we did and this still makes me laugh to this day is we had a school newspaper which neither one of us were on, but they had like an Ask Alice column where you could put in questions. So Matty and I would just Any question? Any question you want. It was like a self-help, like whatever column.

Speaker 2 18:19

This is my favorite story At any moment. When you want to let me in, I'm ready.

Speaker 1 18:25

So we would sit in our classes and when we're supposed to be doing work, we were sitting there writing crazy questions with funny names of the people to like give to the paper and we basically flooded the paper with questions non-stop questions. Okay, can I yeah?

Speaker 3 18:42

so there's our jump in here is our first.

Speaker 2 18:45

I don't have the actual letter, but it's there in our head so the very first submission we sent in to ask alice was can you help us? We don't know what to do. All we do all day is get on the teeter-totter and we are constantly going up and down and up and down for hours, you know, like a seesaw.

Speaker 4 19:10

Oh, a seesaw.

Speaker 2 19:11

And we're like we can't, we're just pushing up, coming down, pushing up.

Speaker 1 19:15

We're missing class because we're teetering and tottering.

Speaker 2 19:18

We're losing weight, we're not eating. Please give us some advice. Yours truly, did you get a hold on this is I'm selling it right here. We're like yeah, help us. We need your help. Yours truly, Teet and Tot oh my god.

Speaker 1 19:37

And so we would just die laughing and we would create crazy questions, and then, when that paper came out, the first thing we do is go to Ask Alice, and then, finally, they just took the column away.

Speaker 2 19:48

No one else was submitting questions. It was like a two-way dialogue between the editor and Teet and Tot and they're like we gotta kill this.

Speaker 1 20:01

I gotta ask who is dead and start.

Speaker 2 20:03

Oh, it was any of us oh my god, that is funny I have one shenanigan or one little thing I want to talk about, that kind of takes it outside of the school walls. So this group, group of people that Megan talked about, that was in our multiple, those, these six individuals, we a lot of times they were involved in these shenanigans outside of school. So I I recently came clean to my dad, like a few years ago and he loves to bring the story up and he never caught me but like I used to sneak out of my window at night and I could make the jump, it was fine, it was easy, but I couldn't get. It was just slightly too high to get lift myself back up. So I used to keep a like a Home Depot style bucket in my closet and what I would do is when I would jump out the window, I take the bucket with me and then after shenanigans I would get on the bucket. That was enough to lift me in.

Speaker 2 21:04

And then I would take a wire coat hanger, hook the handle and pull it up and it was not, not in the wiser, but yeah my dad was like no wonder you would sleep till like three in the afternoon. He's like God that boy can sleep and it's like, and he's like now now he's like.

Speaker 1 21:26

Now he's like a little did.

Speaker 2 21:27

I know you were out and about to like 4 PM or 4 AM in the morning. But my favorite story one. Well, a couple of things we used to do. One we would collect for sale signs and we put them in someone's yard so that when they woke up in the morning they had like all these for sale signs. And one of the times I brought this big wooden sign and it said fresh veggies for sale. It was a homemade sign. It said fresh veggies for sale. We go to put it in this girl's yard. I have it, I take it with all my might and I go into the ground and it's like October, November and the ground it must've been November because the ground was kind of somewhat frozen and so it didn't go.

Speaker 2 22:02

So I then took it again and I I split through my brand new what were those shoes at the time? They're, oh, bass, brand new bass shoes and split my toes apart. Oh God, I never. I dropped to the ground, I couldn't say a word. People are like what's wrong with him and I'm like fresh veggies fresh veggies.

Speaker 3 22:30

Oh my God, that's painful. Yeah, it is.

Speaker 2 22:36

To this day, though, I still like to put one neighbor's gnome and put it in the yard of another neighbor's gnome.

Speaker 1 22:41

Yeah, we used to do that, just so when you wake up, someone's like honey, honey.

Speaker 2 22:46

I think our neighbors took our gnome Exactly. How do we broach this topic?

Speaker 1 22:52

We were always trying to create fights between neighbors.

Speaker 3 22:55

We can wrap it up with this high school experience or a talk that we had that I I would never forget is like again, probably like a year or two ago, maybe three years. Um, I was reached via instagram but one of my high school you know um teammates and I have not seen this guy in again since high school. I'm not gonna you know age myself let's um.

Speaker 3 23:40

Let's keep it very vague but but one one thing that he, he, he said to me um, it was one of those things that we knew we were gay, but we didn't say a word while we were in high school. But then he can. We connected via instagram and he was like oh my god, I'm so happy that you, you know, you seem happy, you know, and I said the same thing, but he's like, I gotta say, out of all the people from our school, the gays are keeping everything tight and everything fresh because we moisturize yes, so I was like I.

Speaker 3 24:14

I find that, you know, when we're looking back at pictures from our high school, you didn't go back to Facebook or Instagram. It's like, oh my God, these people have gone through it.

Speaker 2 24:23

Yeah, I guess you know we laughed about a lot of things and there are those fond memories. But I did kind of allude to the fact at the upfront that it was like it was a blend for me, and you know it is. I do feel when I look back, I don't. I remember like, yeah, I had my close friends and they were there for me, but I often, you know, didn't feel like I fit in, I felt like the oddball out. I, you know I would be called names sometimes and you know I wanted to be like part of the popular crowd or fit in and it was.

Speaker 2 25:00

It's not like I, I don't know, I just kind of rode the middle, the middle line a little bit. But one memory that sticks with me and is it in my you know how you, the yearbooks would come out and you'd pass the yearbooks around one girl and again, I hope, I hope she listens because she knows who she is, but she, she wrote, you know, the typical thing you would write in uh, your yearbooks is like hope to see you around in the summer yeah, oh yeah yeah, so she wrote that.

Speaker 2 25:28

Then she said you're such a fag oh my god really and it just when I read it and I got it back. I can't, I mean, it stuck with me forever. And then I tried to change the word to like freak and I'm like you try to change it yourself.

Speaker 2 25:46

Yeah, because I'm like I didn't want to now pass my yearbook around to anybody else, but I didn't not want to either and it just stuck with me and it's just like people can be so cruel, and this I mean again aging ourselves a little bit, but like this is when we didn't even have cell phones in school.

Speaker 3 26:04

Or social media.

Speaker 2 26:05

Yeah, and getting text messages all day or checking your social or being you know just part of a thread, like you're walking down the hall nowadays and people are looking at you, probably, and you're like, oh my God, what's circulating?

Speaker 3 26:19

I cannot even imagine how kids nowadays do it.

Speaker 1 26:23

Well, Unknown Caller. If anyone hasn't watched it, you better watch it on netflix yeah, it is based in michigan unbelievable. But these high school students where they started getting these nasty messages, which are almost comical, it was this two, this two couples like a boy and a girl, and they both started getting messages that were like nasty, like oh, owen's gonna break up with you because you're not giving him bjs, and oh, he wants to have sex and you're not gonna have sex with him.

Speaker 1 26:54

13, 14, yeah, 14 really nasty messages that were so over the top. At times I kind of chuckled a little watching it because I'm like this is crazy. Well, I also knew who was doing it early on. Oh, you did, Because I had remembered reading the news articles.

Speaker 3 27:11

Oh, I got it.

Speaker 2 27:12

And so then. So knowing that you still thought it was comical.

Speaker 1 27:17

Well, no, it's crazy, but the messages were so over the top. I was thinking like this person who, knowing who's they're older and who they are like, how could they sit there and just write them? And they were writing like all night long these messages, so like whoever was doing it literally had no other life. And then they started to get very dark.

Speaker 1 27:38

They went from very crazy and sexual to very dark, like you need to go kill yourself. Things like that which is so out of control. I don't know. Are we talking about? Who did it?

Speaker 2 27:49

Well, I know.

Speaker 4 27:51

I mean at this point I feel that I mean it's been all over the news media.

Speaker 2 27:55

Yeah, I think. I mean, we have to. Yeah, right, I mean because it was the crazy mom.

The Unknown Caller Documentary

Speaker 1 28:00

It was the mom and for two years she was sending these messages to these kids and then, ultimately, the messages kept saying you need to break up. So finally, the two kids broke up and then the boy started dating another girl. This all happened in Beale City, michigan, which is up by Mount Pleasant, michigan, which is where Ferris State University is and then he started dating a girl even like further north or east it had been Pinconning, pinconning, yeah, yeah, and there's a famous cheese from there, oh there. And then he started dating a girl even like further north or east, yeah, even pin conning, and there's a famous cheese from there oh, there is pinocchio the doctor

Speaker 1 28:32

loves it pin coning cheese or pin con. I don't know if it's pin coning or pin con like wait, does pin coning? There's a pin coning cheese.

Speaker 3 28:41

Yeah, you'll see it in stores, yeah, so anyway, is it worth putting in a security board?

Speaker 2 28:46

oh yeah, it's a very good cheese all right, so we put it in a product, maybe, maybe it should have been this episode, but we missed the mark yeah anyway.

Speaker 1 28:54

Then that girl started getting messages and the mom and the mom. Well, this mother of the girl who I think she was obsessed with the boy Owen and I think she was also like the attention that this was bringing on her family and her daughter, the Munchausen, and I think she also like she had Munchausen kind of with this texting, because then her daughter was like so reliant on her because literally she was getting sabotaged with these texts.

Speaker 2 29:21

My thing always is in stories like this, like even when we were talking last time about serial butt sniffers, just finding the time for it, but like how. I'm like the amount of messages and the times that these are being sent. I'm like where does this woman have time? But part of the time was because she also is not working.

Speaker 1 29:42

Yeah, she basically intended to tell her.

Speaker 2 29:45

Her husband thought she was working. Yeah, um, she wasn't. She had like burner phones, like in the shed, and all this shit that she's going out and she's sending off of, like you dirty little slut, and it's like you're texting your daughter, exactly it was insane, it's crazy and I gotta say, like, on her confession, she said that she did not start it but she continued it.

Speaker 3 30:07

I don't believe it.

Speaker 2 30:08

She started it Well also in her confession, and this is like a lot of people blowing their mind and she's like come on, we all break the law.

Speaker 1 30:17

Oh, yeah, that hard.

Speaker 2 30:20

So like, if you're driving recklessly and you get caught, you got caught If you get pulled over and you've been drinking or or yeah, or you don't. You drive home, you've had too many drinks. You don't get caught. The difference between that and me is I got caught.

Speaker 1 30:34

No, honey, not at all. The difference is you're telling your daughter to kill herself. Yes, exactly, it was out of control when she that. But she did get convicted. She went to jail. She's out.

Speaker 3 30:49

She's trying to reconnect with the daughter, but the daughter is kind of, you know, keeping her yeah, I'm kind of glad that the daughter is, even though at the beginning she said that she wanted to see her mom and I think that she kept communication with her yes when the mom was in prison, like now. Maybe you know if she's growing older and she realizes what the mom was doing it's just she was only 14, yeah, when it started.

Speaker 2 31:08

When it started, actually she's 15. How do you put any of those pieces together? None of us would know.

Speaker 1 31:13

You know, because I think it all happened maybe back in like uh, the like. I think she's like 17, 18, I think.

Speaker 3 31:22

Yeah, I think they're older now no, I, I just I just uh on her last and the part of the documentary with the interview. I just love that she was able to just say I just need my time until that moment when I meet my mom again, and I also loved the that her relationship with her dad got stronger.

Speaker 2 31:42

I love that too.

Speaker 3 31:43

I think you said that, Megan the way that her dad handled it.

Speaker 1 31:46

I liked how the dad handled it. I liked how the dad handled it when he found out. He was just immediately like you have to go, you need to leave and like totally shut it down. Can I ask you guys?

Speaker 2 31:56

this Go for it? What was the boy's name? Did Owen's mom give you? Kristen Wiig? A little bit Kristen Wiig. What are you on the show? How'd you get on the show? What?

Speaker 3 32:09

are you doing? It's funny that you say that, because I'm like I want to see this in SNL.

Speaker 2 32:15

Well, I don't know, do you think the mom's like I've got a Netflix, I'm doing a documentary Give me the Kristen Wiig. Give me the kristin wig. I mean like I don't know, but like that, that was a high moment it was a mix between kristin wig and lisa lisa reina for me.

Speaker 3 32:29

Oh, there were some.

Speaker 2 32:30

There were some ways but I just, every time they cut to her, I was like oh kristin, I was like target lady, oh my god. But it just goes.

Speaker 1 32:40

I mean, we're not super old and we, our shenanigans, were writing about Tete and Tot to the Ask Alice newspaper.

Speaker 2 32:49

And inflicting pain on one's own self by stabbing them with a sign.

Speaker 1 32:54

We weren't terrorizing people like kids get terrorized today. Now we do do a little of that now.

Speaker 2 33:01

Later in life we'll terrorize theirs via text to each other, oh well to each other is fine, that's not. I mean, if I give either one of them a thumbs up, it is terror.

Speaker 1 33:11

Well, that's for another episode. Can we get a gen z here to comment?

Speaker 3 33:17

yeah, but and yeah, and as we get ready for that episode, slippers, if you have an opinion about a thumbs up and a text message, please send this one a message Thumbs up to that. We're ready for that.

Dirty Shirleys and Adult Beverages

Speaker 1 33:30

100%, well, all this talk of high school has me thinking about my childhood and something I loved about my childhood Well, a Shirley Temple. So my parents were very whenever we went out to eat. A lot of times when we were younger we would go to bars or places that were like bar restaurants. They would be having their drinks and cocktails, and my brother and I, we always were able to get Shirley Temples. So for me I feel like I've created a very good drinking habit from starting drinking my Shirley.

Speaker 3 34:03

Temples at a very young age. Can I tell a story Because Megan actually taught me about Shirley Temples at a very young age? Can I tell a story Because Megan actually taught me about?

Speaker 4 34:11

Shirley.

Speaker 3 34:11

Temples? Oh yes, because not so long ago we were out with some friends and there was a minor with us and I saw this minor, or you know, our friend, ordering a Shirley Temple.

Speaker 2 34:21

Well, it was our friends.

Speaker 3 34:23

Yes, yeah, I'm just going to respect the name here.

Speaker 2 34:27

Well, I don't want them to think we're hanging out with friends that are minors at a bar.

Speaker 3 34:32

No.

Speaker 2 34:32

So it's through friendships, relationships like their niece kind of was.

Speaker 3 34:37

Kind of a family member. Yes, a younger family member was with us at a bar that has games and things like that. That is, like you know, is kind of family friendly too well 100%.

Speaker 2 34:50

It's not a Dave and Buster's, but okay it is kind of a.

Speaker 3 34:54

Dave and Buster's I'll give you that back to my story so I go to Megan and I'm like Megan, like our friend is ordering, like Shirley Temple's left and right, like nobody's business, like nobody's business. And she was like JJ, that's okay, that's a non-alcoholic drink. And I was like laughing so hard because here I am, thinking that she is about to pull over.

Speaker 2 35:22

Well, you thought she's like this girl's on her fourth.

Speaker 3 35:28

Like, who's going to say something? Gonna say something only in my second drink, and who's gonna say so?

Speaker 2 35:31

she's sucking those things down with a straw, like but then, megan, it was an educational moment for me again.

Speaker 4 35:37

It's like no I I didn't grow up here, so I it was sure I didn't have that growing up, I mean in in spain I think they had shirley temples in spain probably.

Speaker 1 35:46

but I'll tell you, when I went to kentucky as a child they called Is that growing up? I mean, in Spain we just drink something, I think they had Shirley Temples in Spain Probably. But, I'll tell you. When I went to Kentucky as a child, they called them Roy Rogers.

Speaker 4 35:52

Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 35:53

Yeah, so a Roy Roger will work too sometimes, or Arnold Palmer. No, completely different. Arnold Palmer is half, lemonade half whiskey.

Speaker 2 36:04

They have alcohol versions of it now.

Speaker 1 36:06

Okay, but that's not a Shirley Temple.

Speaker 2 36:08

A Shirley Temple, Well how's a Roy Rogers, a Shirley Temple?

Speaker 1 36:12

Because it's the same drink.

Speaker 4 36:14

It's a Sprite or 7-Up with grenadine All right, that was.

Speaker 2 36:17

I did miss the mark, I guess, on that one my bad, my bad. I was just going with famous people, no, no, no, forget it All right, all right, all right, but yeah, but today going from Shirley Temples as I got older.

Speaker 1 36:32

Sometimes I'm like I miss the days of a Shirley Temple. Well, I learned you can have a Dirty Shirley, which is a Shirley Temple, with vodka.

Speaker 3 36:41

That I also learned from you. What was that?

Speaker 2 36:43

Was that around age eight? No, that I also learned from you what was that?

Speaker 1 36:45

Was that around age eight? No, dirty Shirley's kind of came into prominence not too long ago.

Speaker 4 36:53

I love the name. I do too. Yeah me too.

Speaker 1 36:55

So beyond that, I recently was in the store and discovered a hard seltzer, dirty Shirley. So, just like a high noon, it's a vodka based hard seltzer. They're called dirty Shirley's. There's classic version. There's extra dirty which is more alcohol. So it takes the alcohol content from a 5.9% to a 12%, and extra dirty Shirley yeah. And then there's cherry vanilla, so the cherry vanilla is probably. I like them all, but the Cherry Vanilla is my favorite. It is my favorite it tastes kind of like a Dr.

Speaker 3 37:29

Pepper, same here, fave.

Speaker 1 37:31

The classic tastes kind of like a traditional Shirley Temple.

Speaker 3 37:35

Or a traditional cough drop medicine.

Speaker 1 37:39

Well, shirley Temple is kind of cherry cough syrupy to begin with, so we have them all here you can buy them.

Speaker 2 37:49

They're amazing yes I just did my prices right I'm a big fan.

Speaker 1 37:54

So if you don't want to make your own dirty shirley, which is just a seven up or sprite or even a club soda and grenadine and vodka with a little lemon or lime, you can buy these dirty shirley hard seltzers and I highly recommend them yeah can I call them?

Speaker 2 38:10

dirty shirls, I do so I do sometimes.

Speaker 1 38:13

And the other thing is dirty shirley. I think is such a prominent name that revlon came out with a lipstick that's called dirty shirley, which I'm actually wearing you are yes, yes.

Speaker 3 38:25

What a tie-in, what a brand tie-in, so Megan has a Dirty Shirley on her lips right now.

Speaker 1 38:30

I do wear a lot of Dirty Shirley. Can we get this?

Speaker 2 38:32

in the link Yep, it's in our link tree.

Speaker 1 38:36

You can buy it on our link tree, yes. So thank you Revlon for that Dirty Shirley. I love it. It's kind of. It's not a bright red, it's more of a subtle red, but with a little shimmer to it and I love it.

Speaker 2 38:49

Do you want to know what your co-hosts think about it?

Speaker 1 38:51

My Dirty Cheryl. Yeah, yeah, what.

Speaker 3 38:54

About the drink or the lips oh my lips.

Speaker 1 38:56

I thought you were talking about my lips.

Speaker 4 39:00

Your lips look fab.

Speaker 2 39:02

And when you put this Dirty Shirley to them it's a win-win.

Speaker 3 39:06

I like them. I'm sure the doctor loves that too.

Speaker 2 39:08

I think I can only drink one, and then I'd move on.

Speaker 4 39:11

Yeah.

Speaker 2 39:11

But that's me. With most these days, most seltzers, it's like one done or a sweet drink, because I kind of find them a little sweet.

Speaker 1 39:20

They're on the sweeter side. I did like the vanilla the best.

Speaker 2 39:22

But the bang for your buck with the double dirty is surely the way to go.

Speaker 3 39:28

What about that Again? Did you like that?

Speaker 1 39:32

The extra dirty.

Speaker 3 39:33

Yeah, I like the most of the one. That I like the most is the vanilla one because it breaks the sherry a little bit.

Speaker 2 39:41

Yeah, the other ones I can drink. God, I'm on fire. I'm on fire kind of like my love language.

Speaker 3 39:50

Yeah, vanilla, bring the vanilla in.

Speaker 2 39:52

I'm, I'm totally in okay, give me some dirty. I'm going more for this darker can, oh god, all right with that we're gonna move on to some slip it ins and pull it outs and my slip it in is so exciting to me and I think many others is with love.

Speaker 1 40:08

Megan is back on netflix for season two I loved the first season and I binge watched the second season um and and jj, I know you love christina, tosi of milk bar. I love her yep, well, okay, she's also. She's on the first episode for both of you guys, I have all of her.

Speaker 3 40:29

Do you know her back?

Speaker 2 40:30

story. We don't have time to go into it, but you should go down a rabbit hole with her it's amazing she was on it and With Love Megan is still great.

Speaker 1 40:41

I will tell you, I learn something every single episode and I encourage everyone to watch it.

Speaker 3 40:49

Well, I was not a fan of the first season, but since you brought in Christina Tosi on the first episode, that's going to make me want to watch it. So to like Andy and John. That always makes fun of Meghan Markle with her first season. I have not watched it yet, but I will watch it.

Speaker 1 41:07

I will tell you I'm a big fan. She's also a lover of lavender, just like me, so it's a Meghan thing. I love that well, and my pull it out is actually more of a slide it back oh, can you?

Speaker 4 41:24

get a something for that.

Speaker 1 41:27

It's a little slide it back oh so I previously had talked about how I was searching and looking for dubai chocolate, yeah, and couldn't find it. Yeah, so I we heard from one of our slippers, jolene, in dearborn. She told me, jolene, where I could buy it. I got it. I tried it. I was like lackluster for me. So I thought I maybe I'm missing something because I'm a pistachio lover and a chocolate lover you are so, lo and behold, I'm in the grocery store and there is lint chocolate, a dubai chocolate bar.

Speaker 2 42:03

It's called manifesting. I I was so excited.

Speaker 1 42:05

I'm like oh, my God, I love those Lindt chocolate. I did. I love those Lindt chocolate truffles, so I'm like, oh, this has to be really good.

Speaker 3 42:13

I love them too.

Speaker 1 42:14

So I bought it and I check out and I'm like how is this so expensive? That one chocolate bar is $14.99. Wow, that's a return it back. I was like oh my God, that's crazy.

Speaker 3 42:27

That is worse than a greeting card.

Speaker 1 42:29

But it's good, again it's good, but I just, I don't get the viralness and rave about it.

Speaker 2 42:36

Oh, okay, so that was a slide it. It was a slide it back. You went out there on a limb and now you're dialing it back.

Speaker 1 42:42

No, because it was previously a pull it out, because I couldn't find it.

Speaker 3 42:47

She couldn't find it, so it's a slide it back.

Speaker 1 42:49

But then I found it and tried it and I slid it back.

Speaker 2 42:54

I'm going to take a note. Take a note, take a note.

Speaker 4 42:56

You can slide it back too. It's not just for Megan.

Speaker 1 42:58

Can I go next? Matt, you sure can.

Speaker 3 43:01

Yeah, my slip it in is Venus Williams' performance at the US.

Speaker 2 43:06

Open, were you afraid I was going to steal that one? I was. That's why I wanted to go first.

Speaker 3 43:10

It crossed my mind Such an inspiration At 45, she decided to go to the US Open.

Speaker 2 43:22

She was not able to go far on singles, but she was able to go to quarterfinals and doubles and she won a set off a top 10 player in the first round.

Speaker 3 43:27

Yeah, and she's getting married in September. It was such a highlight, um, and I was looking forward to watch those matches, um, especially in the doubles with Layla Fernandez. Um, and the the respect that leila had for venus when they won that first match and they continued throughout and they, like leila, actually stepped back and let venus do her famous twirl. Yeah, for the fans it was such an inspiration and I I'm inspired by her again and and and I. It was such a strong moment on the us open um and regardless of her Inspirational.

Speaker 3 44:06

Yeah, it was. Yeah, that's the word that keeps popping for me. Venus, you're powerful, you're a legend, you are a legend.

Speaker 1 44:13

I love it I love those Williams sisters.

Speaker 2 44:16

I mean, if you want to come on and talk about your experience.

Speaker 4 44:19

Venus, you know where to reach us.

Speaker 3 44:21

Yeah, 100%. My pull it out is one of Mattys and I favorite actor, jonathan Bailey. He made the decision of taking a break from acting, so he is taking a break for a year.

Speaker 2 44:35

Wow, Wow. This is a new news. Bomb a shell. Is this going to impact your Wicked?

Speaker 3 44:42

No, it's not, because he already filmed that.

Speaker 1 44:44

Wicked's in the can. They filmed it all back to back. Yeah, okay.

Slip It Ins and Pull It Outs

Speaker 3 44:48

So it's a pull it out for me because that means that less of Jonathan Bailey's on the TV. But you know he is stepping back because he does has a UK based nonprofit and charity organization that he is a founder of that he wants to dedicate his time um sorry, are you sliding it back? In real time right now, like did you just take a slide?

Speaker 3 45:17

I want to recognize the decision that he's making about not like taking the break from it, which is a pull it out for me, but I also want to recognize that he's taking the time for that um non-profit organization that supports the lgbtq community, um. So so, jonathan, we're gonna miss you, but, uh, we'll support you and whatever you do, 100 okay a lot of liberties being taken today with slips and pulls, but I'm gonna give it to you straight my slip.

Speaker 2 45:45

It in also a premiere and it's the upcoming survivor premiere september 24th jj myself. We have some other friends of ours that are 49 megan is not in it no no, she's not. She is not so, but jj and I are already on the side talking about how do we continuously talk it about it, unbeknownst to her, knowing that we're sneaking it into the agenda?

Speaker 3 46:20

we might have a little survivor segment.

Speaker 2 46:22

So, if you're a survivor fan, buckle up buttercup, because we're going to talk it, we're going to slip it on, and we're also going to maybe put a call out to a survivor contestant to maybe visit us.

Speaker 2 46:37

So stay tuned for that. Okay, here's my pull it out. This happened to me since we last recorded Very specific I'm at bj's. Bj's is a warehouse like costco. They have a gas station, you know there's always. It's not as bad as costco's line for gas, which I am always like people. You're gonna wait an hour to save four cents per gallon like oh, it's like 15 cents it's.

Speaker 1 47:06

Yeah, it's a huge difference, because I, I know exclusively get gas at costco we know that and if you go at odd times there's no line f5. I know you knew what you.

Speaker 3 47:19

Let me go with four cents.

Speaker 2 47:20

It makes the story better. All right, so anyway, b's, I'm three deep in the line and this woman goes. It's her turn. She gets up, she gets out of the car, she then grabs her purse, she walks over to the pump, she scans her card, then she goes back to the front seat of her car before pumping and she starts to clean out her car before pumping. And she starts to clean out her car Like legit.

Speaker 1 47:50

And her car is still pumping, or it's not, not even pumping, that's no you know how the trash cans are there.

Speaker 2 47:57

Yes, I'll do this as well While my gas is being pumped. Yeah, 100%, and you clean out their car, if it's still pumping, she starts to clean out the car. And she doesn't. She's doing nothing, and it gets to the point where, like the guy in front of me, as well as myself, are like what is happening here?

Speaker 2 48:15

he says out his window, ma'am excuse me ma'am, and she's like, literally, this is what she says don't rush me, oh my god. And I'm like, oh my lord. She's like, literally, this is what she says Don't rush me.

Speaker 1 48:27

Oh my God, and I'm like, oh my Lord, and I'm trapped.

Speaker 2 48:30

I've got a car in front of me and behind me. I'm like, if this goes, I'm like I got to have my phone ready and then she, intentionally, from that point on then she's like funneling through her. I am like I cannot. Are you kidding me? What a pitch. I do when I'm up there, because I know what it's like to wait.

Speaker 3 48:49

I get out of my car, I go over, I do it, I pump, I go, I get Especially those gas stations that are usually very, you know busy.

Speaker 2 48:55

When she yelled at that man.

Speaker 4 48:57

Wow, don't rush me.

Speaker 3 48:58

She knew 100% that is a pull out for sure. I'm fired up just unless I sweat, I am too.

Speaker 2 49:06

Yeah, I mean okay, that is my pull it out.

Speaker 1 49:10
