Speaker 3:

Phillips Okay, so it's not real.

Speaker 2:

Well, it's not a verified account, so I feel, like it's another TikTok Carney instead of TikTok.

Speaker 1:

Susan, yeah, but I think that the verified on the TikTok and sometimes on Instagram. Some people do it some people don't.

Speaker 3:

Oh, so you're giving the benefit of the doubt. Karni is like I'm not spending the dollars. I'm holding on for one more day.

Speaker 1:

Uncle Kathy, I learned.

Speaker 3:

I don't want to put people in a category. But chances Did you just snort A little tiny snort I apologize.

Speaker 2:

Well, not necessarily lesbian, but Charlie Sheen's been out in the world with his new memoir and documentary on Netflix, not necessarily lesbian, I would say.

Speaker 3:

I would say correct, I would say correct.

Speaker 2:

Well, he's had a gay sex confession in the memoir and documentary. Yes, correct.

Speaker 1:

So it's lesbian and Jason.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1:

I'm okay with that.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, apparently I haven't watched the documentary yet. I haven't, but it's all over the news that he confesses that when he was doing crack cocaine in his words he turned the menu over and started having sex with men. Does it turn?

Speaker 3:

the men paws you over, or is it turn the menu over?

Speaker 2:

I maybe watched the documentary to find out.

Speaker 1:

I wonder how Denise Richard feels about it.

Speaker 3:

I think she might have already known. She's like any press is good press. Give me back on the real house.

Speaker 1:

I want her back too, which again in the new season she has some appearances.

Speaker 3:

Oh, she does.

Speaker 1:

Well, I love that. They've spotted her.

Speaker 2:

Well, she's going through this crazy divorce.

Speaker 3:

Divorce yeah, another one.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3:

This is why I don't get married. Divorce Well, well, all right. Well, that was a long. Can you do that long, long button? I don't know.

Speaker 2:

I think there might be other reasons why you're not getting married.

Speaker 3:

What would you think those would be? You are single.

Speaker 2:

You need a Correct, you need a man to marry.

Speaker 3:

Oh wow, Low-key shade Go.

Speaker 2:

How is that shade? I'm just saying you're single.

Speaker 3:

Well, you're like you can't get married because you don't have a man.

Speaker 2:

Well you're single, right I can't get married either. Yeah, I would say that when I was single, I'm like, I'm not like moments away from a marriage because there's no man in my life all right, what else we got?

Speaker 3:

let's keep it moving. I'm sure that this documentary, or it's going to be crazy oh yeah, I mean, clearly we love a good doc, a salacious well, he's been so salacious doc yeah, he's been sober for eight years.

Speaker 2:

He also discusseses a lot about his HIV diagnosis and how he tried to hide it, but people would come to his house and take pictures of his medication just to blackmail him.

Speaker 3:

That's insane.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and he paid people off initially and then finally he's like just screw it and he came clean. But that was back in 2015.

Speaker 1:

These are just like friends coming over. Oh he With Benz.

Speaker 2:

These were, I think, maybe drug friends or people taking advantage of him. If you're.

Speaker 3:

Charlie Sheen, how are you like? I don't expect you to answer this Call this rhetorical.

Speaker 1:

But how do you get up? She was ready to answer, I know.

Speaker 3:

Well, she always says, even before I'm ready to finish, you get so close that you're up there on his porch taking pics of his meds Like right, oh, no, she didn't miss a beat.

Speaker 2:

No, these were people in his home like he invited to his home. They weren't on a porch taking pictures in. They were like hookup girls or friends or boys or friends doing drugs or all right, just in in california you always have those celebrity hanger on so like, oh right, the pseudo friends?

Speaker 1:

yeah, exactly, maybe a few gay for pays what?

Speaker 2:

probably, yeah, probably, right. Well, I think, jj, you have some other interesting news from Wild Chips.

Speaker 1:

We did review Wild Chips, probably a couple episodes back. Maddie brought those here and I'm not sure if they've listened to the episode yet, but they just said that we're fire, so I'll take it Multiple fire signs on Instagram about us instagram.

Speaker 3:

so here's my guess you've got a wild intern like that's like your job, your job your job is anytime we're mentioned you go hot it, comment, do something. And like they didn't listen. Because if they did, like those wild chips, they did not, they went into the trash and I don't know we've mentioned them again. So let's, we can tag them again, let's see what happens.

Speaker 2:

Let's get those fires back. I mean I'll take a fire, I will too.

Speaker 3:

I mean, these are protein chicken bone broth. Because you caught me, I listened back they were awful.

Speaker 2:

They were not good Whatever they were. But I was on my way here today. I drove down 8 Mile as a little ode to Eminem because I watched the Stans documentary so powerful.

Speaker 3:

So is this like you're making this connection, or did actual construction push you? Onto eight mile.

Speaker 1:

Okay, I was gonna say like don't you take it, because I'm like I've done the trip as well, and I'm forced on eight mile now there's another option better, I'm willing to go with it.

Speaker 2:

There's another route I could have taken, but I chose the eight mile route because you were feeling.

Speaker 3:

You were feeling the topic, what we're talking about today. Yeah, exactly, and I saw a little, let's like let's dive in.

Speaker 2:

I saw a little group of kids walking down one of the side streets and I was like, oh, that's like eminem and proof back in the that thought really, you are fabricating it.

Speaker 3:

No, 100%. You thought oh, that's proof. In little Eminem.

Speaker 2:

No, it was like them. They could be the next proof in Eminem. Who knows, anything can happen on 8 Mile, do you want?

Speaker 3:

my phone number so you can give a comment on that, not my personal phone number, but the podcast phone number 313-444-9004. Correct.

Speaker 2:

Got it, nailed it.

Speaker 3:

Okay, all right, I think we're transitioning into Stan.

Speaker 2:

Yes, stan or Stans, it's Stan.

Speaker 3:

Stan Stans, I wash it and I have a lot of pens. Okay, well, what's your?

Speaker 1:

opinion. Let's start with it, yeah.

Speaker 3:

Well, there's a lot of chatter online about it, like did it waver too much on his fans or not enough on him? I don't know. I found it fascinating and I'm going to just say this. So, stan's, I'm sure a lot of people know and maybe a lot of people don't just generally generationally, but this term originated from the 2000 track called stand that also featured dido great and it is a good song I mean, it's incredible song and it's about an obsessive fan that just the lines got blurred between reality and you like fandom and all of that.

Speaker 3:

And but now fast forward to today. It's a term. The term Stan or stands is a broadly used term for like I'm a huge fan and some people embrace it, some people don't. So some people consider it like yeah, I'm going to stand on that pedestal, I'm going to call myself a Stan, and others are like well, if I correlate that term to that music and that video, like to that music and that video, like, no, that's not me, I'm not that crazy. But and today, now, what I love about it is that it's being used. It can be used as a noun or a verb.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

So I am a big fan of Alanis Marsa yes, you are and I wouldn't like. Here's the thing I've never been a person that has been obsessed about much of anything, like celebrity actors, anything. I think the closest thing I'm obsessive about is true crime, like just something that I can't get enough of, but like let's just use a lot of Smorza as an example. I can say either I'm an Alanis Morissette stan or, which is a noun, or as a verb, I stan Alanis Morissette.

Speaker 1:

Oh, I like that so. I stan Alanis Morissette Especially for me having English as my second language, the way that you're putting it there, my brain appreciates that.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, yeah, 100%. So give me your stan. What is your stand?

Speaker 1:

my stand, I would say, is all things bravo.

Speaker 3:

Mainly andy corn. That makes, that makes sense. He is my zaddy and everything that he promotes it.

Speaker 1:

I will watch it. You know more than anybody else, matt, that Megan and I we follow many of the Bravo celebrities and if there is a pot in.

Speaker 3:

Ohio or any place around us. I was just going to say if they get into Cincinnati or Columbus.

Speaker 1:

Or Cleveland, or Cleveland Any of the Ohio's three C's?

Speaker 3:

Yeah, cincinnati, columbus, oh, cleveland, any of the Ohio's three C's.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

Is it these? Cincinnati, columbus or Cleveland, cleveland? Jesus Christ, I'm like the Bravo Leopardies love it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we find places. There's not much happening in Detroit with the Bravo Leopardies, which, again, this is a call out for you, bravo Leopardies, you should come to Detroit more.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Claussen is a c come to us, but we, I, I, I love all things. Bravo, I cannot get enough what about you, megan?

Speaker 2:

well, for me it's easy.

Speaker 3:

It's uh, michael jackson, it's oh yeah I still am okay obsessed with penny loafers. This is why you got like trendsetter?

Speaker 2:

yeah, because I. Yeah, exactly, I still love a white sock and a penny loafer. I'm obsessed borderline with penny loafers.

Speaker 3:

I keep buying them in different colors stan penny loaf.

Speaker 2:

Well, no, it's all michael, because you can be a.

Speaker 3:

It doesn't have to all, because there are a lot of people out there that are self-proclaimed Trader Joe's stans.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah. But I think that what Megan is trying to say is pretty much just the same thing that the stans were talking about with Eminem. Even the white shirt, yeah, they will wear it because I mean, even like bleaching their hair, yes, so I kind of like, on the last couple of years I've been doing like the Eminem, like bleach blonde. I always have loved that.

Speaker 2:

Look, I still think Eminem was the cutest with his bleach blonde. Oh, really, oh, I've always been attracted to Eminem. I'm always hoping.

Speaker 3:

I'm going to run into him around town. This is a bombshell.

Speaker 1:

Well the problem is.

Speaker 2:

he's at the very bottom of my height level and I think he's probably too short for me.

Speaker 3:

He is at the very top of my height level and I think he's probably too short for me. He is at the very top of my height level. Five, eight, oh well, five eight is I'm that's my sweet spot, that's his published height.

Speaker 2:

I kind of wonder if he's a little shorter.

Speaker 1:

We'll see I'd like to. Maybe he's got the new.

Speaker 3:

The new um heels that people that men put in a A kitten heel, no, the shoes.

Speaker 2:

They have hidden lifts in them.

Speaker 3:

Jack's tailor had it on the reunion. How are they hidden?

Speaker 1:

if I see them, you could put it like a sole inside the shoe Like a Dr Schultz.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, there's like what is it the Veja?

Speaker 3:

brand of tennis shoes has a special height lifter one and Jack'slor on the valley this is not in her notes, so the fact that she can rattle these off because I know okay, and people are buying these shoes online like crazy.

Speaker 2:

Okay, put it. Can you put that in our link?

Speaker 3:

your our link tree. Yes, I will.

Speaker 2:

Can I ask?

Speaker 3:

you do, you guys know a fit, like you know when, like this whole thing was coined, like the first official, I guess, or like, if you look in the history books of the internet, who the first Stan was, from a point of view where it crossed the line between like fan and obsessive fan, stalker fan yeah, I'm not, I'm not sure you know, I'm gonna look at my notes wasn't it you're?

Speaker 2:

I guess I don't really understand the question you don't no, okay.

Speaker 1:

Well, is it like elvis presley, like with their fans?

Speaker 2:

no, no, no, no, he's still talking, eminem, right no, I am.

Speaker 3:

Oh, you are I didn't transition to elvis presley. Did I miss? Well I thought you?

Speaker 1:

I thought your question was about like who was the first one? That here's the thing, let me.

Speaker 3:

Let me give another frame. So stan's yes has become more broad in terms of like being okay with it, but it originally was obsessive fans based on his song and his video and that guy like drove off a bridge and killed himself and was like got crazy. So the first stand like from that perspective is Mark David Chapman, do you? Know who that is yes, yes, he's the one that killed.

Speaker 2:

John Lennon yeah, wow.

Speaker 3:

So, uh, he essentially is the first stand. He was obsessed with him, he stalked him, he got his autograph during the day and then, like hours later in the evening, when him and yoko were returning from dinner, shot him five times and killed him. Wow, and so it's like he is the original stan. I don't know if that's. I don't know. It is just a piece of education, because we are what an educational pod well for education.

Speaker 2:

I will say I didn't realize that eminem had worked at this like restaurant bar in st claire shores called gilbert's and now gilbert's lodge, I think, and now I'm kind of like we need to go there for a little outing.

Speaker 3:

I'll Gilbert it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, we have friends in St Clair Shores so we can have a little meet up.

Speaker 3:

I don't want to give away where I live Right, because the fans are crazy.

Speaker 2:

I think you already have given it away.

Speaker 3:

But I mean like I'm literally a half mile off of eight mile. Yeah, have I said that before?

Speaker 2:

Well, you've said you were a block or two from Valentine Vodka, so that kind of gives away your location.

Speaker 3:

If you're a sleuth, you're narrowing it down. Yeah, coworkers come into town that I've entertained and asked me to pull over in front of a street sign to get their picture of eight mile, which is which is something I probably would also do if I was in another city and like it's just funny to me, right? Yeah, it's just weird, cause, like and that's part of what I loved about that documentary and probably why a lot of us the three of us attached to it yeah, it's because we could. I mean, like there was footage of him driving down. I'm like, oh, I know, I know that shot.

Speaker 3:

You can blur it all you want. I know that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, sub shop yeah, I know that, kroger, when I see it. Yeah, yeah, it was. It was nice to see that differently and I think that there is a that it's a component of like when you see a documentary like that, that you can see the streets that you kind of relate to, like you just feel that the story makes a little bit more sense home on.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, probably. Yes, that's more nine.

Speaker 2:

Well, I do wish it looks like they filmed it in detroit on kind of like winter or fall, like it was a very gray day. So all the scenes of detroit I felt like didn't look that pretty and nice. So I was like couldn't they have done it on a nice sunny day?

Speaker 3:

everything would have looked a little better I feel like, though that's kind of in line with eminem's brand, I guess, like he doesn't seem sunny and nice, he just seems more like conflicted and like I don't know like they're tortured poet.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, thank you, I was gonna say internal struggle.

Speaker 3:

But tortured poet nailed it thank you, taylor Swift.

Speaker 1:

Oh, and to that point, that is like that is one of the things that I kind of I wouldn't say, but I was like kind of fighting in my mind when he was going into like the you know, the fandom of the, you know going into him being a rapper and being an artist, and he said I'd never sign up for this. I mean, in a way I was like, yes, you did sign up for, you know, to be a public figure. I do understand that he did not sign up for some of the repercussions of like being that so, so, so famous like especially when that you know, you know stardom affected like the family, his daughter especially that you know you can see His mom's spaghetti His mom's spaghetti was there.

Speaker 3:

I think that was a positive, which is could be a slip it in. His mom's spaghetti was very, very good.

Speaker 2:

I think that was a positive which could be a slip it in his mom's spaghetti. Oh so good. Oh my God, if you're coming to Detroit you have to get mom's spaghetti. 3 pm it opens.

Speaker 3:

Sometimes I'm like I've picked it up as takeout, but I'm like does that mean I have to stay at the office until 3? Because I like to skip out around 2. The office until three, cause I like to skip out around two not skip out and stop working, but skip out and finish my day at home. But like mom, mom's spaghetti.

Speaker 1:

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

Speaker 3:

I love it.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 3:

What else do we so fan fiction did you get the through line for that?

Speaker 1:

You were telling us a little bit about that. Listen, I don't think I have it all.

Speaker 3:

I don't think I have it all either, and I am very always excited about learning something new that I didn't know was like out there and I'm like how did I not know there was this whole world out there around?

Speaker 2:

fanfic is what they call it, Fanfic for fan fixture which is, which is just people writing stories that they put up on the internet about themselves and celebrities.

Speaker 3:

Well, I don't know if it's always about themselves, but what they take is, a lot of times what they take is an existing story that already is out there, and then they reimagine it and they put celebrities in there, and a lot of times what they do is put nsfw content not, always not always listen, don't come for me.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's erotica kind of not all but not always but a lot of comfort.

Speaker 3:

come for her, not don't come for me, because a lot of time it's just you. It's an existing story that is reimagined with celebrities and new events. So like, imagine you are a huge fan of Taylor Swift and suddenly you are also not suddenly, but you are a fan of Harry Potter. You are also not suddenly, but you are a fan of Harry Potter. They re-imagine it and Taylor is now in that story and the story is slightly re-imagined. So it I mean AO3, listen, if you are out there and this is your community. I apologize if I'm getting anything wrong cause I'm new about it, but I am learning and I am appreciative of your community. I apologize if I'm getting anything wrong because I'm new about it, but I am learning and I am appreciative of your community. And if you have things to tell us, please feel free. Give us some stuff, because I am just here to spread the word.

Speaker 3:

But, like these short stories by fans and it's the most popular platform is AO3. It's called Archive of Our Own, ao3. It was launched in 2009. It's a nonprofit, so no one's here to make profit on this. This is just people that are like trying to exhibit their passion in a way where writing, I guess, and creativity merges with fandom, so it's really interesting intersection. There's millions of stories on there, again, a lot of NSFWw content, but not all of it. A lot of there are. In terms of nsfw, the most popular sexual content is around harry potter, bts and harry styles oh wow, those are like last I checked the top three so isn't that?

Speaker 3:

it's fascinating. Like I'm just going about my day, I had no idea all these people yeah were out there taking everyday stories, headlines, movies, books and then reimagining them and putting their fan, their, their fandom celebs into the narrative yeah, that's crazy.

Speaker 1:

I've been speaking too much, so you guys one thing that I wanted to just mention that I found very interesting is about the word fuck and how they use it in the documentary oh and yeah, and that was a hard right, it just took a hard right well, I, I think that I you know I want to just lift up some of Probably a left yeah.

Speaker 1:

Probably a lefty, Sorry, and how like they really just used that little segment of like. Oh, and the word fuck was created in this, you know, in this term and all that thing, and I do like the word fuck.

Speaker 3:

Do you like the middle finger?

Speaker 1:

I do like the middle finger. Sometimes, not all the time, it has to be appropriate, I think.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

It has to be a moment for me to get the finger, do you?

Speaker 3:

remember? Oh my God, do you remember JJ? When we were driving to Grand Rapids.

Speaker 1:

And I was in the lane.

Speaker 3:

that was supposed to merge, but it merges immediately after the stoplight.

Speaker 1:

Like I have, like I've got to go on it. I've got to go on it to get over.

Speaker 3:

This woman.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and gave a finger, Middle fingered me. Wow, I love that Middle finger.

Speaker 3:

And then she got nervous and backed off, I mean right. Like it's a story for another day.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, she sure did. But that segment on the documentary made me think JJ sure did.

Speaker 3:

but that segment on the documentary made me think jj, what is your favorite swear?

Speaker 1:

like curse word, did it? Because I think you already know I was. It was brewing in my brain a little bit and then I realized although I don't use it often, one of my favorite, if not my favorite um swear word is motherfucker. Oh, I think that it's a. It's a word that you could use in every single moment, like if you're angry, you like you, motherfucker, but if you're excited, it's like yeah, motherfucker you know I like that, I like to shorten it to mofa. You probably call those a mofo I do sometimes.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

What is, maddie, your favorite?

Speaker 3:

well, can I comment first on your motherfucker, because I feel like I do like to use it in a lot of like motherfucker, where you been, you funny motherfucker yeah, don't you feel that I just like I'll mf it all day and I can use it Happy, sad, indifferent.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3:

My favorite oh God Swear word is oh Jesus, I don't know, it's probably like um batshit.

Speaker 1:

Batshit. I don't know if that's one of my favorites.

Speaker 3:

Like that girl be batshit crazy.

Speaker 1:

I've never heard you say that.

Speaker 3:

I agree.

Speaker 2:

I'm thinking the same thing, like wow, this is your favorite swear word and I've literally never heard it. Then what?

Speaker 3:

have you heard me say?

Speaker 1:

Fuck maybe.

Speaker 3:

Well, these are words I'm saying to you two because you're annoying me, but my favorite is batshit.

Speaker 1:

Batshit. Okay, what's yours, Megan?

Speaker 2:

I think I'd just go to a standard old fuck.

Speaker 3:

Yes, well, I thought you were going to put your money on mofo.

Speaker 2:

Well, mofo is not mofo. Is swearing without swearing.

Speaker 3:

Can I say this to the audience?

Speaker 2:

Without using a swear word.

Speaker 3:

I would say she's not this way anymore. But there was a period of time where all she would drive were Volkswagen bugs that were convertibles, and yes or no, yes or no, yes or no.

Speaker 2:

Okay, I had a convertible. That was a bug. You act like I was only driving around in a bug. You act like I was all jumping around in a bug.

Speaker 3:

She would enjoy putting the top down and putting on lyrics of songs like 2 Live Crew.

Speaker 2:

It was milkshake.

Speaker 3:

No, it was milkshake the fuck. Word was being blasted like high volume. As we're going through Pleasant Ridge, which is a community between Royal Oak and ferndale, and I'd be like megan, I feel very uncomfortable. She's like no it's an amendment I can play this as loud as I want and I'm like there's children and she's like fuck them it wasn't that loud and that wasn't exactly how it went, but well, that's I was playing explicit versions of certain pop songs.

Speaker 2:

Do you guys want?

Speaker 3:

me to Not to live crew. Do you guys want me to get into Larry Stilson?

Speaker 1:

Go for it. We only have a few more minutes, but yeah.

Speaker 3:

Okay, this is where fandom and fanfic collide, larry Stilson, I'll pause while you Google it. Pause, pause. This is Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson Tomlinson, tomlinson. These are One Direction band members. Everybody was speculating that the two of them were so close in public and I guess they got some matching tattoos and everyone thought that they were in a relationship. So these people propagated is that the right word? Promulgated.

Speaker 2:

Promulgated.

Speaker 3:

I've never heard of that. I've never heard of it.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I think that's made up, but anyway, they apparently well, not apparently they perpetuated this rumor that the two of them were together. I am looking at my notes. So in 2014 and 15, when they were at their height they were called Larry shippers. So a Larry shipper? Well, let me break it down. A shipper is somebody that is a big proponent of two people being in a relationship together. They could be real people. They could be not real people. They could be largely probably not a couple, but they are like I'm convinced that they are together. So I'm a shipper. So Larry Stilson is a mashup between Louie and Harry, and then they called themselves Larry for Louie and Harry and shippers.

Speaker 3:

All like a ton of money and then rented planes to fly these flags that say said Larry is real. I did not know that all of this shit was going down during One Direction. Like I wasn't a huge One Direction fan, but like that's a lot right. Like, speaking of, I didn't sign up for this. Like regardless of what you think you're going to get or not. Like do you think you're going to get a plane flying over your neighborhood or your city saying Larry is real, and what the insinuation is is that you are in a sexual and romantic relationship with your band member.

Speaker 1:

That's kind of goes back to like I didn't, they did not sign up for that.

Speaker 3:

Which right Like cause you don't is like you're right if you're gonna go down this path and you get successful and and you get famous yeah you know it comes with a price, but like you don't right, but you, you can't imagine the lengths at to which it could go.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, which is this right? Like this is kind of absurd, and like louis was like begging them to like please stop. Harry just ignored it. I don't know what the the better alternative is, but like it's like. Yeah, like I feel like we are this close to slip it in banners. Yeah, probably Like coming down eight miles.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and, as we wrap it up on this, you know Stan's documentary. I feel that we do have to say that. You know, I personally learned the impact that Eminem has on the music history and obviously the impact on the lives of their stands and us, even that we've watched him doing it like one of the things that I you know the impact that he's had even on mental health yeah, after his recovery.

Speaker 1:

He did a recovery album in 2010 just because of that and and the love that he has for his daughter, so I uh the influence and everything that he's done I think is great, and if you have not watched it yet, you should go and watch it in Paramount Plus stands.

Speaker 3:

I also loved his Detroit hat and I think JJ.

Speaker 1:

Did you Google?

Speaker 3:

that I think. Well, google Lens.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, I think you Did, you do it.

Speaker 3:

It has the backing that. It doesn't work for me. It works for you, so you should get it.

Speaker 2:

If not, not, you have a birthday coming up and if I buy it, I'm sure we can all force me to put it on the link tree, but I do want to comment.

Speaker 3:

Here we go. I can see her computer screen.

Speaker 2:

I can see her screen. Well, promulgate is a word and it means promote or make widely known. So your correct word was promulgated.

Speaker 3:

Did I use that word?

Speaker 2:

No, you said some other word propagated, which I don't believe is a word.

Speaker 3:

It's promulgate, promulgated is the word you wanted. Again what we are, what An educational pod.

Speaker 1:

Yes, and we are ready for a product review.

Speaker 3:

Oh, let's do it we, and this is one.

Speaker 1:

Today is a very good one it's a saucy one.

Speaker 3:

It's very. It's a. What it's a saucy?

Speaker 1:

it's a saucy one, yes uh, it comes from one of our favorites, uh, harry hamlin. Uh, four-time golden globe and one-time prime. Emmy la law, uh-huh. And he's love for spaghetti sauce. Yes, we saw it first on the real houses of beverly hills as he was preparing his uh sauce, still waiting for garcelle's.

Speaker 1:

Uh, grateful note you know, thank you note about how he received. You know he gave her some, some of the sauce, but I think, um, in the few minutes that we have, I wanted to just, you know, bring in what you know harry has done with this, um, with this sauce, which is has become one of my favorites. Megan actually gave it to me as a present for my birthday and after that I it's I kind of been obsessed with it, to be honest it is borderline obsessive it.

Speaker 1:

It is. It is very good and one of the things that I love about Harry's Sauce and Harry's company is it's actually one of the first.

Speaker 3:

I giggle, I giggle.

Speaker 1:

I giggle. Yeah, we love Harry's Sauce, but they have the first open source food company, which is that they're completely transparent. They say all the ingredients.

Speaker 3:

And on top of that, on their website, they have the full recipe of the sauce. So if you just want to make it real, yeah, 100 percent, 100. What's the wine they use?

Speaker 1:

I'm not he just it says like uh, I think a dry red wine yeah okay, so the one that I have right now is a rosemary red wine, but they do have other. They have the lemon pepper and the marinara number seven, which are the new ones.

Speaker 2:

Yes.

Speaker 1:

And the spicy tarragon vodka, which is a very good one. I mean, jeff Lewis, they were there and he was, he was promoting it and they were tasting it and I mean it's's again, it's one of my favorites, I love it so much the traditional one is the rosemary red red wine sauce and it's so good.

Speaker 2:

I make it as a bolognese and I don't love it.

Speaker 3:

How do you turn something into a bolognese?

Speaker 1:

just meat sauce. You add meat meat. Yeah, oh, beef, that's it I actually do my. I add meat and I add um mushrooms and one thing that I've added to that to talk about that, yeah, and how they really encourage people to just get their own twist on their sauce. It's like you. Put a little dollop of alfredo sauce in it and make a blush, creamy rosemary wine sauce on your pasta, you know.

Speaker 2:

Make it part of your meal prep and I think also the official recipe that harry gives that you're supposed when you make the bolognese is you also add a touch of soy sauce oh, got it, I have tried har Harry's sauce.

Speaker 1:

Multiple times or just once.

Speaker 3:

I've had a couple heaping toppings of his sauce and I love it and I have actually tried to find a comparable local sauce there's none you can't, you can't. No, I know I'm like why what's happening? Why can't red wine sauce just be prolific?

Speaker 2:

well, this is also, I think, rosemary. It's very heavy rosemary, so that also adds to the taste but I love it.

Speaker 3:

I give it five stars out of five 100, 100.

Speaker 1:

And one thing that I'm not as happy about is the bundles. Like I wish, I can just order one.

Speaker 3:

But you're probably going to have to pay for something you got to order in threes. Which is fine, because it's so good, I'll go in. There's three of us right here I'll give you what $7?.

Speaker 1:

It is $37.47 for the bundle of three. No for three.

Speaker 3:

Well then, I can give you $11.

Speaker 2:

three, okay, well then I can give you 11. We're gonna definitely put it on the 25 cents. Yeah, it's on the link.

Speaker 3:

We also just find it there, the slip it in podcast crew. Just also. We're you know like should we come into a wealth and fortune from lottery tickets?

Speaker 2:

so oh well, we'll see but I will say harry looks amazing for his age. I mean, he was always a handsome man, but he's 72 and he does not look anywhere near that age. And also his wife, lisa, lisa Renner. I love her. I miss her on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and she also looks great for her age. Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Okay, that is my review.

Speaker 2:

Okay, so we went from mom's spaghetti to Harry's sauce. That's true.

Speaker 3:

Like harry and ma, uh, and eminem's mom should do a clip. She died, yeah well, so that's out okay, sorry yeah, sorry about that.

Speaker 2:

Well, but now I'm gonna keep it with the tomatoes and for my slip it in. I am obsessed with these tomatoes. They're called dirty girl tomatoes. They are made by dirty girl produce in California. They're dry farm tomatoes and they only come out in late summer. Early fall and they're out. So if you're in, California you can get them. If you're in the Chicago or Detroit areas, you can get them at plum markets and they're amazing.

Speaker 1:

They're so good.

Speaker 2:

They're the best tomatoes I've ever had.

Speaker 3:

Can I comment Like?

Speaker 2:

I agree with you.

Speaker 3:

You gave me a taste of those before and I agree I'm like I didn't think you could change my opinion on tomatoes. You did. Yeah, period.

Speaker 2:

Well, thank you, thank you, Dirty Girls, for dry farming these amazing tomatoes, and my pull it out is-.

Speaker 3:

Dirty Girls, Dirty Sheryls.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, we're all about the dirty here on Slip it In. So my tailor has closed and I haven't been able to find a new one Taylor Swift.

Speaker 3:

No, my tailor, oh like-.

Speaker 2:

Like tailoring clothes, repairing clothes, things like that.

Speaker 3:

Oh, I didn't even know they existed. Yeah, 100%.

Speaker 2:

Don't you ever get anything tailored.

Speaker 3:

No, I sure do not. Oh okay, I just buy something new.

Speaker 2:

Well, but sometimes, like you need pants shortened, you need I'm a 30. Well, shortened, whatever anyway I don't need well, maybe you do anyway, my tailor closed. I haven't found a new one. I've tested out a couple. They were not very good, so now I have this pile of clothes that need to be tailored and nowhere to take them. So I'm struggling. If you are in the detroit area and have a good tailor, message us, let us know I think I have a friend that might oh good.

Speaker 2:

Good, I need your connection because I had an amazing one, and now I'm in need of one, and yeah, I have a friend that does that all the time oh good yeah, my slip it ins are one of my favorites, introduced by the one and only andy corinne and john John Hill, scandinavian swimmers from Trader. Joe's. I cannot live without them, and once I opened that bag, megan.

Speaker 1:

I just cannot stop, especially the original ones, which is like a version of, like the Swedish fish yeah, but Swedish fish are nowhere near they're so good, that's my slip it in. I you know I cannot get enough of them. Um, my pull it out, you know, kind of going into. I've said before that I don't like the term poppy, and I've realized too that I'm not really a big fan of the term girl amongst the gays for myself and they're like hey girl to me.

Speaker 2:

Sometimes they do that and I'm like I just don't work a girl, no, I don't want it. Hey, girl, hey no, yeah, I just don't hey girl hey, you'd like it for a? Man, I kind of like it, yes, I kind of like it.

Speaker 1:

I just don't know Like I.

Speaker 2:

Work, yes, I just don't. What about?

Speaker 3:

the new season of Project Runway, where she's like child.

Speaker 1:

Oh, really yeah.

Speaker 3:

I'm all caught up. I feel like that oh you are.

Speaker 1:

I feel like that's equivalent to girl child Could be, but yeah, the term girl amongst the gays I'm not a big fan of Me. Yeah.

Speaker 3:

Okay. So my slip it in is that I got on my chat GPT to give me advice about seeding my lawn, but then I saw on the sidebar that I had subscribed to a gpt that was astrology related, true story, true story. So I clicked on it to be like, oh okay, I obviously put that into my menu and they said do you want me to give you a reading based on all your shit? And I'm like sure. And it said what we need is your birthday, the time you were born, which I was born at like one, 25 AM, which is why I'm a night owl.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I mean that standard to get readings.

Speaker 3:

They want your time of birth and the city I was born in.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3:

And then it produces stuff.

Speaker 3:

It fucking motherfucking blew my mind yeah, I'm only gonna read the first part of it and then the rest, like I'll share with you guys. On the side it says sun and gemini. So I'm a gem. Your core essence is curious, adaptable and highly mental. You thrive on ideas, communication and variety, with your sun in the fourth house. Home, family and inter-emotional security are central themes in your life. You may be the storyteller or bridge in your family, someone who carries ancestral stories and finds identities and roots, yet you also crave freedom and mental stimulation. I mean to call me a storyteller.

Speaker 3:

I'm like love it as well. And it goes on and on and nails and nails and nails.

Speaker 2:

Astrology is pretty amazing.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, okay, we should do an episode about it. I think so.

Speaker 2:

Well, the birthday book and the relationship and the Etsy witches.

Speaker 1:

Well, that's a different one.

Speaker 3:

Okay, my pull it out is Bibles in hotels.

Speaker 1:

We did not find one in the last, we did not the last time we traveled. Yeah, I do you remember, though, I was opening all the drawers.

Speaker 3:

I'm like, is there a bible in there? I don't want it. I don't need it. Like it's the days are done. However, I did a research and hilton, maria and radisson still do it, and that's like, why? Like isn't that a specific community that you're appealing to? Like everybody and anybody could stay at your hotel. Like, don't put your Bible in my drawer. No right, like I don't want it, I don't need it. And like the Bible industry, who's profiting? Well, a lot of times I think Off of bulk Bible purchases.

Speaker 2:

No, but sometimes certain of these religious organizations donate them to the hotels.

Speaker 3:

Oh, it's a donation.

Speaker 2:

Sometimes Not as a rule, but that does happen Still. It's appalled and like lots of times, the Mormons would be upset with the Bible, so then they donate the like, whatever they call it, the Book of Mormon, the Book of Mormon.

Speaker 3:

I know we got to wrap. I know we have to wrap it up.

Speaker 1:

Yes, we do, let's say this.

Speaker 3:

Let's say I love the fucking Bible. Let's say I love it. I'm in my room 1030, 11 o'clock, ready to go to sleep. You think I want to open up chapter?

Speaker 1:

17 john. Some people do some people then bring your own bible, pack it and they might be bringing their own bible as well put it in your carry-on because I don't got time.

Speaker 3:

I don't need to count on a bible being and first. That's why I see your airbnb pulled.

Speaker 2:

Well, if you look, at those. Bibles in the hotel rooms. They're usually clearly never been opened.

Speaker 1:

That's true, they're dollar store Bibles Probably Well, they're donations per Megan's suggestion.

Speaker 3:

Well then, let's just stop the madness.

Speaker 1:

Let's stop. That's a pull-out for sure.

Speaker 2:

Get a job for one of the Get a job for one of the get a job for one of the big hotel chains and make that your mission.
