SPEAKER_00 0:04

Slippers unite, it's time to play. We bring the spice to your work or your day, confessions, debates, and a product or two. We slip it in just for you. You laugh, you cringe.

SPEAKER_02 0:23

Welcome, welcome, welcome, everyone. We are back, slipping it in with you. This is Megan. I'm virtual today because I unfortunately have COVID. I'm on day five and still testing positive. But luckily, I'm finally starting to feel better.

SPEAKER_08 0:39

Yeah, it sounds a little choppy where you're at, but like we'll get through it.

SPEAKER_02 0:44

That might be my voice.

SPEAKER_08 0:45

Um well, can are you still able to do the sexy voice?

SPEAKER_07 0:51

We're hoping that you would do that.

SPEAKER_08 0:53

I think so. Can you say can you say I have COVID? I have COVID.

SPEAKER_02 1:04

Oh, I have to take a big breath before I can do that. Um, we have Melissa back again to slip it in with us. If you remember, she was on our pig's gotta eat pod when we were up at the cabin in the woods.

SPEAKER_07 1:18

Yes. Welcome back. Welcome back.

SPEAKER_05 1:20

Hey, I'm excited to be back. I'm very happy to be here.

SPEAKER_08 1:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:25

It seems like I've seen you guys almost every weekend.

SPEAKER_08 1:29

Yeah. A lot this summer.

SPEAKER_05 1:31

Well, I mean, in a good way this summer. No, in a great way.

SPEAKER_08 1:34

In a great way, yes. But it's and we're we have some things to unpack, I think.

SPEAKER_05 1:38

From seeing each other?

SPEAKER_08 1:40

Well, yeah, some shit's wet down. There's been a lot of fun. Like we'll get to we'll get into it.

SPEAKER_05 1:44

No, we've had a lot of fun.

SPEAKER_08 1:45

Have you been listening to the pod?

SPEAKER_05 1:47

I've been listening to the pod. Oh, I have been listening to the pod. And I have a couple little pieces of information I want to add to advice? Not advice, information/slash corrections for the high school episode.

SPEAKER_07 2:02

Corrections. Not a correction. Megan and Maddie, are you ready for that?

SPEAKER_05 2:06

Yes. I'm ready. Well Megan said that there was not a drama class in high school. And yes, there absolutely was a drama class in high school.

SPEAKER_08 2:18

Didn't I say I think there was drama? And she said there was only in middle school.

SPEAKER_05 2:23

Yes, there was drama class in high school. I know it. I was in the drama class.

SPEAKER_02 2:27

Okay, but they we didn't have a production or a play or did in the middle school.

SPEAKER_07 2:32

So we had a class. That's correct.

SPEAKER_02 2:35

But there was a drama.

SPEAKER_07 2:36

Were you part of that drama class?

SPEAKER_02 2:38

I sure was. Yeah. Well, it was only one time. It's not like you could take it every year. No.

SPEAKER_08 2:43

Oh, really? Oh. You're acting like I was, I mean, like, it's just semantics.

unknown 2:49

Kind of.

SPEAKER_02 2:50

No, no, I'm just saying it because JJ said, Oh, were you a part of it? It's like it was one time you took the class once. Well, you said there was no drama classes.

SPEAKER_04 2:59

I thought there was. And there was. There was a drama.

SPEAKER_02 3:03

So that was it was odd that you had such a robust drama program in middle school where we had a big play that you did in eighth grade, and then you had no plays, nothing. That is true.

SPEAKER_08 3:15

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 3:16

Well, that was more my point. But no, I didn't even think we had a drama class.

SPEAKER_08 3:20

So you didn't thank you for that.

SPEAKER_05 3:23

And then I did just have to like thank you guys for talking about the newspaper articles, the Ask Alice segment. Yeah. Because I was in newspaper and I was in charge of writing the response. Wait, what?

SPEAKER_08 3:41

Wait, you were Alice? Were you Alice?

SPEAKER_05 3:43

Yes.

SPEAKER_08 3:44

Like you guys are probably listening thinking, like, oh, Matt knew I didn't know you were Alice.

SPEAKER_05 3:50

Are you mostly did because the number of questions you asked?

SPEAKER_08 3:57

Oh, so we knew we had an insider?

SPEAKER_07 4:01

Oh my god. Did you know that she was Alice? I don't remember that piece of things.

SPEAKER_02 4:06

I remember knowing that she was Alice, but I do remember we had some commentary from people who are in the newspaper. I don't know if it was a class or a club or it was something else. Yeah. And like you had to be in it and like so be at it.

SPEAKER_08 4:20

So there is something we weren't telling the listeners. We had insiders in the newspaper.

SPEAKER_04 4:25

So we knew we were overrun in the app, Alice. You were the only ones in the entire school that wrote in.

SPEAKER_05 4:33

Nobody, thank you. You're welcome.

SPEAKER_08 4:36

Yeah, you're welcome.

SPEAKER_05 4:38

So I would write equally funny responses, but he would not let me put publish them. No, there was no publishing because we had an audience trying to get off a teeth. It was the tea and the tot, and my responses.

SPEAKER_08 4:56

I get this feedback. Yeah. And like we, if you're just tuning in, you don't understand. So let me like, so Megan and I were like taking advantage of the ask Alice column in our high school newspaper. We said we were on a teeter and a totterer, a teeter totter, teeter and a toter. And we couldn't stop. And we were teething and totten all the time. We're like, help us, we're losing weight, we're skipping class, our relationships are failing. Like, how get help us get off the teeth and tot.

SPEAKER_05 5:27

Yes.

SPEAKER_08 5:27

Yours truly, teeting tot.

SPEAKER_05 5:30

Correct.

SPEAKER_08 5:30

So, like, so my. So, like you were on the receiving end of that. Yes, dear. And what would you respond back? Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 5:37

I forget the response, but I was so proud of how funny it was. And then the teacher said, no, we're not doing this. This, we're not doing this.

SPEAKER_08 5:46

Meanwhile, there's two young adults out there struggling.

SPEAKER_09 5:51

They're probably teaching tattoos.

SPEAKER_08 5:53

I mean, while we're right here with you.

SPEAKER_02 5:56

It took up like every day. We spent a whole class period just writing our questions. Oh, I know. I love that. Yes.

SPEAKER_08 6:02

And we'd have to ask for like an extension to turn in our paper.

SPEAKER_05 6:07

It was the greatest. So I'm glad you're going to be able to do that.

SPEAKER_08 6:10

Okay, well, thank you for clearing that up. That was really funny. I appreciate that.

SPEAKER_07 6:14

Oh my god. I love that so much. I love that so much.

SPEAKER_08 6:18

So I had mentioned, or you did, or we did, like we've hung out a lot.

SPEAKER_05 6:23

Yeah, we have.

High School Newspaper Revelations

SPEAKER_08 6:24

Shall we? It's been a good summer. It has been a good summer. You know, I think tomorrow's the first official day of fall. I don't know. When this airs, it's already fall. Yeah. But let's if I say wood shop, does that ring a bell? Ring a bell?

SPEAKER_05 6:41

It does. Yep, it does.

SPEAKER_08 6:43

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 6:44

How about we have to say about the wood shop?

SPEAKER_08 6:46

Well, I mean, like we got so it's a tangled. It is a two-part limited series. I feel like. Is it? It kind of is. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 6:57

Well, I did not hang out with you guys. Well, you are part one.

SPEAKER_08 7:00

You're in episode one. Megan's in episode two. I was in both apps.

SPEAKER_07 7:04

This is a two-part series.

SPEAKER_01 7:06

And I'm in episode ground zero.

SPEAKER_08 7:08

Well, you were in the um, what do they call it? Like the prequel. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. She was in the prequel. And I don't know. The finale could still happen. So, like, uh, I came into town with JJ. So JJ and I visited for this was Labor Day weekend.

SPEAKER_05 7:25

Labor Day weekend, yeah.

SPEAKER_08 7:26

Oh, yeah. I think typically, like when we get together, because we don't get to see each other all the time. Sometimes we are like, let's opt for a night in. Yes. We catch up. We have some wine. Take cards, we sit on the couch, we play cards, con it, yep, all the things. But this time I was we had a pool day scheduled for Saturday. So I knew we would have pool conversation. So Friday night, I suggested, why don't we go out? Like mix it up, right? So we do. We go to this place called the Wood Shop. After like our four other three places before I agreed. It was like four in.

SPEAKER_07 8:04

And I would just say, like, it's like when we did say and decide, oh, we're gonna go out.

SPEAKER_05 8:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 8:12

We have not done like a it was pretty much like a bar hop. It was a bar hop.

SPEAKER_05 8:16

I haven't done that in a bar crawl.

SPEAKER_07 8:19

A bar curl. Like we had dinner, and then after that, another bar, and then after that we did like this. Yes, yeah. We had probably one of the best espresso martinis I've ever had.

SPEAKER_08 8:31

Oh, right. At that little kitchen.

SPEAKER_07 8:34

We got that smell.

SPEAKER_08 8:36

It did smell in there, but the social misfits.

SPEAKER_02 8:38

It always smells in there. Oh really?

SPEAKER_08 8:41

It does.

SPEAKER_02 8:42

Because they make waffles.

SPEAKER_07 8:43

What was that again? Every time we get to repeat that. We lost you there.

SPEAKER_08 8:47

Can you ask her to repeat it because she she in and out? What? What'd you call it?

SPEAKER_02 8:52

It always smells like burnt waffles. Yes. Correct.

SPEAKER_08 8:56

Well, you nailed it with that. That is correct. So anyway, um, I did in the car, we had a conversation and I said, why don't we go to the wood shop? It's a gay bar, it's a gay cocktail bar, upper scale cocktail bar. I mean, like if like wood shop. Like you get it? Like wood. One, I get it. Like if you don't get it? I also get it, yes. Like if a man is a rat, it's called wood. Yes, I get it. And here we are to shop. So, but I said also it doesn't play like that. It doesn't play like a gay bar. It's very diverse, it's very mixed.

SPEAKER_07 9:38

There's a kitchen to like it's there's food.

SPEAKER_08 9:41

We'll get into that, right? Yeah. And it's just like you don't feel like you are actually in a gay bar, you just feel like you're in a very welcoming place with all kinds of people from all walks of life. Yes? Correct. We sit at the bar and we are at the very end of the bar towards the kitchen in the restrooms. Like a lot of bars, there is a cutout in the wall where the chef or is able to also like get orders from the bartender. That's the that's the goal. Like they're passing tickets through the window. And so this handsome man comes into frame, literally into frame. Yep. And go ahead.

SPEAKER_05 10:22

He was watching me. He was he was looking at me, and I kept I glanced over a few times. I'm like, wow, this is like a really good looking man. Like this cook, like so. I say to Matt, who is sitting right next to me, right? Look at the cook is like looking at me. And then Matt looks over and immediately started laughing.

SPEAKER_07 10:43

Because he was not looking at you.

SPEAKER_05 10:44

He said, He's not looking, he's not looking at you. I go, Yes, he is Matt.

SPEAKER_08 10:49

I'm like, he's looking at me.

SPEAKER_07 10:51

I don't think that he was looking at Matt either. Matt either.

SPEAKER_08 10:54

He was looking at us because we were looking at him talking, and basically it was obvious we were talking about him. Right.

SPEAKER_05 11:03

So and then you said to him.

SPEAKER_07 11:08

It was all signals. There was no There was a lot of signals.

SPEAKER_08 11:11

I did mouth something though. I was like, I put my hands up like the shrug emoji or the I don't know emoji. Like she and I said, she I mouth, I can't mouth it here, but like she thinks you're cute.

unknown 11:25

Which is.

SPEAKER_08 11:26

And I told her you're gay. And and he then you made eye contact with him. He picked up my signal and then put his hand out and then dropped his wrist and did a limp wrist. And you interpreted that as.

SPEAKER_05 11:42

I interpreted that as, oh, I'm not cute. Listen, you're not. The gay signal. I'm like, no, I didn't. Why are you saying that?

SPEAKER_07 11:52

The only thing missing with that was like, hey girl. Yeah. Well, completely. 100%.

SPEAKER_08 11:57

100%.

SPEAKER_07 12:00

With the pinky up.

SPEAKER_08 12:01

Like it's not. Missy would have none of it. I was telling her, like, I mean, like, what we're at the wood shop.

SPEAKER_05 12:08

I couldn't believe it.

SPEAKER_08 12:09

He is giving, he just responded.

SPEAKER_05 12:11

Just because we're at the wood shop doesn't mean the cook would necessarily.

SPEAKER_08 12:15

But like if you start putting the pieces together. But anyway, he comes out of the kitchen because nobody's ordering food. The bartender that is waiting on us comments, oh, he is a handsome man. He's actually going to sit with his boyfriend. Missy still did not believe this.

SPEAKER_05 12:31

I believed I was in denial.

The Wood Shop Gay Bar Adventure

SPEAKER_08 12:33

Fair. That's well, I don't know. In that I don't know the truth. The truth is somewhere in there. So he's sitting down there for like 20 minutes and she's carrying on like argumentative, like he's into me, he's into me.

SPEAKER_03 12:46

I didn't 100%.

SPEAKER_08 12:51

No, it is not. Lies a minelling. No. Okay, tell me if this is a lie. Then 10 minutes in, you said, somebody in this bar better fucking order some food because he we need to get his ass back in the kitchen. That's right.

SPEAKER_05 13:05

That's a fact.

SPEAKER_08 13:06

I did say that.

SPEAKER_05 13:07

And I said, let's order nachos. So he's good. Right.

SPEAKER_08 13:09

SPEAKER_07 14:40

I'm in a competitive league.

SPEAKER_02 14:41

So Well, did you play in college?

SPEAKER_08 14:45

SPEAKER_02 14:54

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 15:06

Of all places.

SPEAKER_05 15:07

Yeah. And I said, He he works at the wood shop. And they said, Yeah, he's the cook at the wood shop.

SPEAKER_07 15:13

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_05 15:14

Worlds are colliding.

SPEAKER_08 15:16

Like I am sitting there, like, what?

SPEAKER_07 15:19

So at that point were you like, wait a second. Like, yeah, this is the same person. The same guy that I thought he was falling in love with me.

SPEAKER_05 15:28

And that I had met him before, like a year earlier. And to me, he looked totally different the first time I met him. Megan thinks he looked just the same.

SPEAKER_08 15:36

I agree with Megan.

SPEAKER_05 15:38

You didn't meet him the first time.

SPEAKER_08 15:39

But I mean, I but like you also said on two different occasions when we did run into him that you didn't think he was the same guy. And I'm like, that's totally the same guy.

SPEAKER_07 15:50

That's true. Because that same night, that same night.

SPEAKER_08 15:53

He didn't go to the apartment.

SPEAKER_07 15:54

I was there. I asked 100%. Melissa. Because he wanted to avoid it.

SPEAKER_08 15:59

He was trying to like distance himself with his most recent stalker.

SPEAKER_07 16:05

Yes, 100%.

SPEAKER_05 16:07

Well, then here is the bottom line. He ended up coming that night. We all hung out. He came to one bar with us, and then he actually came afterwards. We went out for a quick bite to eat at the end of the night. And he came and he was with us the whole rest of the day.

SPEAKER_08 16:27

He was out with me later in the evening. Not like with me, but at the same time where he was.

SPEAKER_05 16:32

I don't know how that's possible.

SPEAKER_07 16:34

I know. Well, there is only two bars on that area.

SPEAKER_05 16:37

I know, but what times do you think it's close?

SPEAKER_07 16:39

Either or I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 16:40

Because he was with us until 2 a.m.

SPEAKER_07 16:42

Ah, yeah. There's an after hours.

SPEAKER_08 16:44

I got back. I got back to your place around what time?

SPEAKER_05 16:47

5 30.

SPEAKER_07 16:48

Oh my god. That was a day. I do have to say, like with this story, and I I think that beyond, you really have a very low gadar.

SPEAKER_05 16:56

Yeah. It does seem.

SPEAKER_08 16:58

Well, there is a jaw-dropping finale to this story. Oh, there is?

SPEAKER_05 17:04

Yeah. Well, there is something that's more embarrassing.

SPEAKER_08 17:10

Okay, go for it. Please. It's your embarrass yourself, please. It's all you.

SPEAKER_05 17:15

So the friends that we have, the volleyball player and his girlfriend, they're very good friends with this person. And his I'm we won't use his other his real name, but he came to their house the next day, they played volleyball. The next day after the wood shop. He went to their house, they played volleyball, and he told them the story.

SPEAKER_08 17:39

And how did he put it?

SPEAKER_05 17:41

That there was an older woman in the bar who was hitting on them, which is not true. I wasn't on the phone. Did you know that it didn't monster? I just was thinking it was good looking, and then it just snowballed. Oh my God.

SPEAKER_08 17:59

You're trying to get people in the bar to order nachos. What are you doing?

SPEAKER_07 18:03

Speak one at a time. I know that we're excited. I know, but my apologies.

SPEAKER_05 18:09

That like friends of mine heard about.

SPEAKER_08 18:12

The very next day.

SPEAKER_05 18:13

The very next day had been a little bit more than a little bit.

SPEAKER_08 18:14

Who doesn't normally go out?

SPEAKER_05 18:16

Yeah, that it would be me. And it was really interesting. That is but it was fun, and I would do it all over again.

SPEAKER_08 18:23

Yeah. I would too. I would as well.

SPEAKER_07 18:27

Oh can't. I just can't. Lesson learned or not.

SPEAKER_05 18:32

Yeah. Well, now I feel like he's gonna be in the mix of like hanging out with us. Don't you, Megan?

SPEAKER_07 18:38

No.

SPEAKER_05 18:38

Yeah, I do. I don't think he wants to.

SPEAKER_04 18:40

No, I think he does. Well, no, he's fine. He I think he probably is totally fine about all of it. Yeah, he was fine with it all.

SPEAKER_07 18:48

I mean, maybe not with you, but you know, gaze love. Well, but was it?

SPEAKER_05 18:56

It was.

SPEAKER_07 18:58

He probably will be a guest on this podcast.

SPEAKER_08 19:01

Oh my god, we could be like, so Melissa, we're just we're about to bring somebody out. Yeah, like Murray.

SPEAKER_05 19:09

Well, it's crazy because Megan follows him on Instagram. She was like all in the know of him.

SPEAKER_08 19:16

This is so crazy how what a small world is a small world. All right, small worlds. What about my small little creatures?

SPEAKER_07 19:25

What creatures?

SPEAKER_08 19:26

All right, you guys. I have talked about this in the past. Laboo boos have come up on our podcast before.

SPEAKER_07 19:32

Yeah. They're part of the podcast.

SPEAKER_08 19:34

I talked to you guys about when I was well, you were there too in East Lanting, and I had a weak moment and I bought this six-piece set of labu-boos. You did. And they are called Have a Seat Laboo Boo. It's a collection. I'm here. I haven't opened it.

SPEAKER_07 19:50

They're part of a collab, right? A collab with no, it was a collab with Walmart.

SPEAKER_08 19:58

Oh, maybe, but listen.

SPEAKER_07 20:02

Wasn't it, Megan? I thought that there was like a collaboration with Molmart.

SPEAKER_02 20:06

It was like a collab, or if Walmart was just Sal. I don't know. I don't know if other people.

SPEAKER_08 20:11

Yes, I think Walmart was making purchases possible. There's not a Walmart component to my Lucas.

SPEAKER_07 20:16

Because now there's a Target collaboration.

SPEAKER_08 20:19

Great. Oh.

SPEAKER_07 20:22

Great for Tarkup.

SPEAKER_08 20:24

These are not, I just want the audience to understand, these are not Walmart Labubos.

SPEAKER_07 20:29

No, they're not. Can we? I'm not I'm not saying that.

SPEAKER_08 20:32

Well, you're muddying the water.

SPEAKER_07 20:34

They are a rich.

SPEAKER_08 20:35

You are a muddy. Okay. I'm talking over you. My daughter. Carry on.

SPEAKER_07 20:40

I'm just saying that there are original labu boos, but they are like this, like Walmart Target has done that. They're doing this collapse because they want the labu boos to be more accessible, but still be the labu boos, the original labu boos. So not a labouf.

SPEAKER_08 20:56

It's not lafouf. It's laboob.

SPEAKER_07 20:57

Yeah. It was sealed and everything.

SPEAKER_02 21:00

They were also StockX Verified.

SPEAKER_08 21:02

StockX Verified. Yes.

SPEAKER_02 21:04

And which Michigan, a Detroit-based company.

SPEAKER_08 21:07

Yeah. Shout out. Yeah. Non-spawn. But so I have them here. I'm going to open them. I've opened the box. I haven't opened the individual. There's six blind boxes in here. And what I'm hoping for is a duo duel. Okay. That's the like, so I'm either guaranteed six unique laboobs or five with a duodule.

SPEAKER_07 21:29

Okay. Yeah. All right. And you're actually right here. Wait, well, you can actually get five of the rare ones if you no. Oh.

SPEAKER_08 21:36

You gotta pay attention. I'm trying. I can either get six unique laboobs part of the have a seat or five uniques plus duo dual. Okay. Got it? Yeah. Audience. All right. All right. Open it up. There we go. Here we go. Oh. Oh, okay. Hold on. Oh, wait. I got hold on. No, there's a little. Hold on. I've lost. Wow.

SPEAKER_05 22:01

There's a lot happening.

SPEAKER_08 22:02

Why did I get?

SPEAKER_07 22:03

I can you speak to the mic?

SPEAKER_08 22:06

I've got.

SPEAKER_07 22:07

A sticker.

Bad Bunny's Puerto Rican Pride

SPEAKER_08 22:09

I've got. I can't read that boo boob. Can you read that boo boob?

SPEAKER_07 22:12

I can't, because I just got progressed. So I didn't.

SPEAKER_08 22:15

Okay. Can the old seat.

SPEAKER_07 22:19

Have a seat.

SPEAKER_08 22:19

Could the older age woman read it? Or no?

SPEAKER_07 22:22

No, it's it says have a seat.

SPEAKER_08 22:23

Okay, here's the all right. I didn't realize. Okay, we're gonna have to move on. We're gonna have to move on. I didn't realize that when I open the box, so I opened the big box, then I opened the little box, and inside the little box is a little bag, and I can't.

SPEAKER_05 22:37

So that does seem like a production.

SPEAKER_08 22:39

It's a lot. And I uh yeah, I can't shoot. I'm gonna take this offline. Maybe we'll shoot some content about it. Okay. Jen, it's exciting.

SPEAKER_05 22:50

I'm glad that you find it. I feel like that was a won won. Can you do the originally gonna knock open the box?

SPEAKER_08 22:56

I thought this would be an amazing moment for our slippers and me, but yeah, uh I don't know.

SPEAKER_07 23:01

We don't have the won-won because all the we have all the channels all together, but uh I now do it. I do this is like a kind of a perfect um moment for me to just bring in like even though capitalized on my moment. Bring the spotlight back to me. Um we don't have time to open all this six laboo boos, but I I have to think about what Butt Bunny has done. And you're like, wait, labooboos Butt Bunny, what is that has to do with all this conversation? He created a version of a labu boo, it's called a sapo concho labubu. It's kind of a like a say again.

SPEAKER_08 23:47

Yes, sapo concho.

SPEAKER_07 23:49

So he he launched a new album called De Viti Dharmas Photos, which is I should have taken more pictures.

SPEAKER_05 23:57

Nice.

SPEAKER_08 23:58

And it's all about I always wish I could.

SPEAKER_07 24:01

Yes, so his concept with this album was that about the memories and the nostalgia of family, friends, the country that you're in. And he just finished a 30 concert, a 30 night concert residency in Puerto Rico. And it was one of my uh slipping ins, like probably like episode three, four, very early on. Um, so he is really putting the spotlight in Puerto Rico after uh you know Puerto Rico has gone through a lot, so he really took the time to just do that, and he really is taking the concept of labubu and he created this sapo concho, which is a frog, which is the original frog. It's a frog that is actually from Puerto Rico, it's called the coquille. That's cute, it cannot even live outside of Puerto Rico. They even had a day of tried to get this animal out of Puerto Rico and it cannot live outside of Puerto Rico.

SPEAKER_08 25:00

I are you sure?

SPEAKER_07 25:01

100%, 150%. They tried it.

SPEAKER_08 25:04

Can you I can I try? Can I try to make this frog live?

SPEAKER_07 25:08

I don't think no. And it's it's it's called this this frog's name is Coqui because at night their song is Coqui. Coqui? It's so it's like it's it's really the name. So that's not that's not really the point. The point is like he really created and he took this laboo boo concept uh to back to Puerto Rico with his whole you know concert and trying to bring the spotlight to this country. The lines to get this uh version of a laboo boo it's insane. I think I show you a video of it.

SPEAKER_08 25:42

It's it's I don't think it's a version of a labu boo. I mean, like he's doing his own thing, but I think the craze of the like the concept and this idea around a novelty little stuffed animal you can clip, like good for him. Right, right. I mean, like yeah, I mean it like I I have fallen in love with Bad Bunny.

SPEAKER_05 26:04

Well, you know that he is opening um Saturday Night Live, he is, and we're big fans of Saturday Night Live, yes.

SPEAKER_07 26:10

And people have been waiting when Saturday Night Live announces who the first host of season 51 will be because it's a big season after the 50th anniversary, and they just announced that.

SPEAKER_08 26:22

I think that Farada will be on.

SPEAKER_05 26:24

Well, I hope that Pedro Pascal will be on because the two of them have been on. I feel like the two times that Pedro was there, Bad Bunny was there or vice versa.

SPEAKER_08 26:35

How do you say it? You say Pedro.

SPEAKER_05 26:36

I think it's Pedro Pascal.

SPEAKER_08 26:38

Pedro, yeah. Pedro.

SPEAKER_05 26:40

I always used to say Pedro, but then that's Pedro. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 26:43

Oh, I think JG nails it with Pedro.

SPEAKER_07 26:45

Well, but I I know Spanish, so it's it's fine. I can I can give the Pedro to the Pedro, it's different. Um, but I I I I just had to give the shout out to Pedro and the way that he has had an impact on that. Whether that is with a version of Labu Boo or not, um, with his own twist to it. Yeah. But I think that his main goal has been to bring the eyes to this island in the middle of the Caribbean that has such a big heart. And I it makes me so proud to be, you know, call myself a Puerto Rican to be able to have uh an artist like Bat Bunny that has done that for the country.

SPEAKER_08 27:26

I'm gonna make a prediction. I don't I don't know how what qualifies you, but I think he deserves the pulser. Oh my god, yes. I think like what he is doing is incredible. Like, because Puerto Rico is amazing territory, an extension of our country. I don't think it gets what it deserves, and it's sometimes neglected. Like he is just putting all the attention on Puerto Rico as it should be, like it's amazing, and like he is just like no apologies, like here's what I'm doing. Yeah, I'm not, and also I'm not gonna succumb to like whatever like fame means to like get all of the tours in and all of the ticket thing. Like, no, I'm sticking and I'm being true to this country and or sorry, this territory that's part of our country, and just no like I love it. It's hands down pulser.

SPEAKER_07 28:26

Yeah. Now do you think that bad bunny is a daddy, a saddie?

SPEAKER_02 28:31

Oh his appeal. Well, to take it from um Puerto Rico and Bad Bunny to get to Puerto Rico, typically you have to fly in an airplane.

SPEAKER_09 28:44

Yeah.

Mirror Reflections and Airplane Bathrooms

SPEAKER_02 28:45

And in airplanes, their bathrooms typically always have the mirrors in them.

SPEAKER_07 28:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 28:52

So Jeff Lewis recently on his radio show that he loves going to the bathroom in airplanes because he looks at his penis in the mirror, and his penis looks so much better from the side. So I have a personal when you're in an airplane bathroom, you have those side mirrors. Do you look at your penis? And do you think it looks better from the left? From the right or the front?

SPEAKER_08 29:28

And wait, what was the second part? Does it look better from the right? He's got a penis side.

SPEAKER_02 29:39

And sometimes from the left, depending on the bathroom you're in.

SPEAKER_07 29:45

Yeah. So your question is what?

SPEAKER_02 29:48

Unequivocally, his penis looks better from the side, and he likes to admire it in the side.

SPEAKER_07 29:54

When he's in the bathroom in the airport and the plane?

SPEAKER_02 29:57

Yeah. So is that something you boys do? Do as well when you go to the bathroom.

SPEAKER_08 30:02

I have a flight tomorrow, so I might, I haven't really, I can't speak to it. I can't speak to the fact that I've ever thought to look. Well, I I mean, I've probably seen it on this in the mirror, but I haven't like, wow, I need more airplanes in my life.

SPEAKER_05 30:22

I don't know if it's a good angle.

SPEAKER_08 30:24

Right? Like, I don't, I guess I haven't, but like now it's gonna be it planted in my head.

SPEAKER_05 30:29

So when you go to the bathroom tomorrow, I'll be like, what are you doing in there?

SPEAKER_08 30:33

Clearly, I need the bathroom on the other side of the plane.

SPEAKER_07 30:39

I mean, I've never thought about that, but I've I've caught myself looking at the mirror.

SPEAKER_08 30:44

Um I have a mirror that I put uh up. Um oh my god, I shouldn't say this. I do this because here's the deal. I do, I know. I, for whatever reason, the way my bed is, I like to I like to face the wall. Like my comfort, like do y'all have a position that you like to fall asleep in? Yeah, I'm a side sleeper. Right.

SPEAKER_05 31:06

Me too.

SPEAKER_08 31:07

I'm a side sleeper. You too, but I am a let me, I guess I'm a right side sleeper and not a left. However, I also have a TV in my room and my TV is on the left side.

SPEAKER_07 31:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 31:20

So then I was in a conundrum, right? Because I'm like, well, I love that. I want to fall asleep to TV, but my position is facing the wall, my favorite and not the TV. So I bought a slim mirror so that I so I could change it. You know it's true. I know that's true. I think it's true. I can see that. So now when I lay in my comfort, I see the TV in the reflection. Oh my god. It is the truth. And when I in case and when I go out on a Friday or Saturday night, I gotta remember to put the mirror down on the off chance that I might bring company home. And they think that I'm like some kinky thing. No, it's just to watch Dateline.

SPEAKER_07 32:06

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_08 32:07

That's that's another I've never shared that.

SPEAKER_07 32:11

Don't you feel, and this is like taking, I mean, we went from Bad Bunny to this, and I but don't you feel that when you're looking at it, it's like not on the other hand. I don't think she has it to look at.

SPEAKER_08 32:22

You're pink making that?

SPEAKER_07 32:24

No, when you look, I'm talking about you and your TV.

SPEAKER_08 32:27

Oh, my TV mirror. No, when you get the mirror and you say on the other side, it's not really Well, you want to know what's the worst is I love to watch TV with closed captions. Well, everything's in reverse. Yeah, it is in reverse. But I so I'm learning to read reverse words backwards. It's oh my god. Oh, that's a lot. All this is true.

SPEAKER_05 32:48

I will say when I get ready for work in the morning, I have my get ready room and I have like a vanity that I sit and a mirror, and I sit there and do my hair, makeup. The TV is behind me. It's so I watch like the today show and the morning news in my mirror behind me. So there you go. That's what I do too.

SPEAKER_08 33:10

It's the same, really.

SPEAKER_02 33:11

It's just like well, I think you should invest in a frame TV that just goes on the wall.

SPEAKER_08 33:17

There we go. We go. Well, that it goes on my wall.

SPEAKER_02 33:22

It would be artwork, TV, everything in one.

SPEAKER_08 33:25

I have a window on the wall that I face, so I just have room for a slim mirror.

SPEAKER_02 33:32

You can put a frame TV there, it's just like a piece of art.

SPEAKER_08 33:35

I know what it is.

SPEAKER_02 33:36

He has a window there, he said.

SPEAKER_08 33:38

Shouldn't listen. Oh, a bed wall.

SPEAKER_02 33:42

He is oh part wall.

SPEAKER_08 33:44

Not only have room for a target 799 mirror.

SPEAKER_07 33:51

But I've never thought about looking at my penis in the mirror while on the plane.

SPEAKER_02 33:56

Well, I thought then would do it. But now I just, it's a question I have in my head because of Jeff Lewis.

SPEAKER_08 34:03

Yeah. Well, I've got like I said, got a flight tomorrow. So I'll report back.

SPEAKER_02 34:09

I want an update.

SPEAKER_07 34:11

Yeah. Okay. Or if anybody that is listening that they've done it and they've actually look at their opinions when they are in the there is a lot of people that love to have sex in the plane. So that's so gross. There is actually a Vegas. Why would it be gross?

SPEAKER_05 34:27

To go in that little bathroom.

SPEAKER_08 34:29

I mean, but don't you want to check the box? Like, I don't think I have no idea.

SPEAKER_07 34:33

There is actually a service now in Vegas for a nine um mile high club. Mile high club. Mile high mile high club club. Then you can actually just book the plane just to have sex in the air.

SPEAKER_08 34:49

Well, then I've got too much money.

SPEAKER_09 34:54

That's ridiculous.

SPEAKER_07 35:17

My palms are sweating.

SPEAKER_08 35:18

I know. I'm actually, can you feel? Uh she asked. We said yes.

SPEAKER_05 35:24

I was excited for this product.

SPEAKER_08 35:26

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 35:26

And the reason being, the last time I did an episode with you when we were at the cabin, we did Oreo cookie that was the Selena. Selena Gomez Oreo cookie, which I love Oreos, all of that. Love Selena. Yep. Well, Reese's Oreo is the new product that I am presenting today. They're the miniature peanut butter cups, but they have Oreo in them inside? Yes.

SPEAKER_09 35:56

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_05 35:57

So I brought some for everyone to try.

SPEAKER_07 36:02

I always like a good ASMR.

SPEAKER_05 36:05

Peanut butter cups are my absolute favorite. Oh, they are. They are candy.

SPEAKER_08 36:09

I know a lot of people love them.

SPEAKER_05 36:10

Love them. And my favorite cookie is an Oreo cookie.

SPEAKER_08 36:13

Oh, so it's a best combo. So you are like, get me a mirror.

SPEAKER_05 36:17

I wanted to try and see what you think.

SPEAKER_07 36:20

I'm gonna go with an ASMR moment.

SPEAKER_05 36:25

What do you think? Oh man. What do you think?

SPEAKER_08 36:33

I don't honestly, I'm not getting the Oreo much.

SPEAKER_02 36:37

I'm getting more of the You took a very small bite.

SPEAKER_08 36:39

Oh god.

SPEAKER_02 36:39

Well, and that's I will say, I like them, but I have some comments. Okay, please.

SPEAKER_07 36:45

Go for it.

SPEAKER_02 36:46

My one comment is is to Maddie's point, there's only a teeny bit of Oreo in the bottom. I think they could have had a little more Oreo.

SPEAKER_08 36:56

I think it's in the top. It's in the bottom.

SPEAKER_02 36:59

The cream, the cream is on the top.

SPEAKER_08 37:00

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02 37:01

Yeah. The cream.

SPEAKER_07 37:02

Top versus the bottom is us always the same.

SPEAKER_02 37:05

Where do you put the cream?

SPEAKER_07 37:07

The cream is always in the middle.

SPEAKER_08 37:09

Put it on the side. I'm more on the side. Go ahead.

SPEAKER_02 37:12

The cream is a little more white chocolate than cream. Agreed. So I'm someone who does not like white chocolate. I don't either. So I think I would have done more Oreo cookie, less of the cream slash white chocolate. And I'm going for it. I was gonna say my preferred way of eating Ares's is I like to eat the top off first and then eat the rest. So in this case, I've been taking the top off and spinning it out. And then Jesus Christ. Are you kidding me?

SPEAKER_01 37:46

That's a lot of work. But why have those cows? So what are you doing with chocolate?

SPEAKER_08 37:51

Spinning it on a plate and having your COVID nurse pull them out.

SPEAKER_07 37:56

I mean, I do have to say, in good in good gay culture, you know, eat the top first. That's the best thing that you have to do. Oh, gross.

SPEAKER_08 38:04

NSF dub again. Here we go. Here we go.

SPEAKER_07 38:09

I'm with me again. I am not a big white chocolate fan. I'm not either. But when eating it, I love peanut butter. But I don't find that it's like white chocolate forward.

SPEAKER_08 38:21

Oh, okay. What do you mean? It didn't present white chocolate forward.

SPEAKER_07 38:26

Listen, I am I'm not a chef, but I've watched a lot of choice. You play one on TV. I play one on TV. I've watched a lot of top chef in my life. And I know when a specific ingredient or component of a dessert in this case, I would call it a dessert, a candy.

SPEAKER_08 38:42

I would call it a yeah. I don't know if I'd call it a dessert. Well, I mean, is it a dessert?

SPEAKER_05 38:48

If I serve this as like bon appetit, like after a dinner and I brought out a bunch of peanut butter cups, that would be a dessert.

SPEAKER_08 38:57

No, that is a hot topic. I would call it a snack.

SPEAKER_07 39:00

Maddie, if you put that little cup in a big white plate with a little raspberry sauce on the side.

SPEAKER_08 39:07

With a tiny spoon. With a tiny little spoon.

SPEAKER_07 39:10

With a tiny little spoon.

SPEAKER_08 39:11

Well then you might get me. But I'd be like, I don't know.

SPEAKER_07 39:14

I gotta tell you, Melissa. I don't know what Maddie's response is on this. I'm right. Oreos. I know for a fact that he's gonna put a couple on the freezer.

SPEAKER_08 39:26

Oh shots fired.

unknown 39:29

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 39:30

I don't know if that's a whole nother topic because these two came for me when I put Lexi's loaves. She was our guest from last she baked these amazing cookies. I put my cookie. Yeah. We ate cookies. Everyone left with cookies. My cookie went in the freezer, but I didn't like Ziploc it. I didn't freezer bag it. I just wrapped it in a uh paper towel.

SPEAKER_05 39:54

Oh, paper towel.

SPEAKER_08 39:56

Yeah, because ridiculous. I had a plan.

SPEAKER_05 39:59

You might as well have thrown it in the trash.

SPEAKER_08 40:01

I ate it two days later. It was fine. No. And I love a frozen anything. Snickers.

SPEAKER_05 40:07

In a Ziploc bag, or if it's stored properly.

SPEAKER_08 40:09

All right. Well, put it in the comments, people. I love it. Where can people find that, Melissa?

SPEAKER_05 40:16

So Walgreens, Target.

SPEAKER_08 40:19

What about a Walmart collab?

SPEAKER_05 40:21

I don't know about a Walmart collab. But I will say these Reese's Oreo, they're the mini, the miniature cups. Yeah. It's the only thing I can find, and they come in a bag, like a shareable bag. But I think they sell them in the individual, like Reese's peanut butter cup type thing, but I can't find those. Can I ask if you're going to do that? But Target, six bucks.

SPEAKER_08 40:41

How do you feel? And I know we're short on time. Yeah, but how do you feel about Oreo? Like they seem to be exploding into like too much. Agreed. Like Doritos, we've talked about that a lot. Like I feel like all of a sudden we're in this age where all these products are doing all these extensions of stuff. And it's like it's fun to try them, but like stay true to your brand. I don't know. I don't know. I guess it's totally agree. A topic for another day. But I agree. It's like don't dilute your brand so much. Yeah. I mean, that's a great way to put it, right? Don't dilute it. Yeah. Right. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 41:18

Well, I hear what you're saying and agree with you. Except I will say I don't buy a lot of these candies and cookies, but when I see a new limited edition flavor, it's first thing I buy.

unknown 41:31

Yes.

SPEAKER_08 41:32

Whereas the first thing you buy. You don't buy them, but it's the first thing you buy.

SPEAKER_02 41:38

No, I wouldn't. If I went to the store, I never buy Oreos, period. But if the new limited flavor, I'll buy it. It's a new product. Sure.

SPEAKER_08 41:46

But that's a lot of expense for a company to put something out for an impulse purchase if it's not going to turn into a repeat purchase.

SPEAKER_05 41:56

Well, I guess they try to see if it will turn into something. If it sells off the shelves, then they know they've got come out of it.

SPEAKER_08 42:03

No, I get it. I get it. Yeah. And like I would say, like every five product extensions that they do, probably one does hit it. And I guess that's worth the investment. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 42:14

Right. But I mean, how many people are like me in the world? So I'm not going to buy like nobody else. Well, I'm sure there's other people that only are going to buy certain things if there's a new limited edition flavor.

SPEAKER_08 42:28

I agree, but it's it's the difference. I guess my point of response is it's a difference between like, yeah, you might buy it because you want to try it, but will you buy it again? That's my point. Like, and would you buy these again?

SPEAKER_02 42:44

No, but if you've got millions of people doing the try, it's more sales that you would have.

SPEAKER_08 42:50

Yes, but do you know how much goes limited edition? But so much goes into RD and all, okay, all the like ingredients. But like you're right. I agree with you. You agree, maybe not with me. But happy family. I like it. I do like it. Okay. I wouldn't eat more than two.

SPEAKER_07 43:11

And I do have to say, like, Halloween is coming.

SPEAKER_05 43:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 43:14

And I think that I would have that, you know, for the kids. I think that the kids will love it.

SPEAKER_05 43:18

But I like regular peanut butter cups.

SPEAKER_07 43:21

Yeah, there's nothing, yeah, there's nothing like the regular ones.

SPEAKER_02 43:23

Agreed.

SPEAKER_07 43:24

What do you think, Megan?

SPEAKER_02 43:25

I agree. And I would I would have loved them if they had another chocolate layer on top or got rid of the cream altogether and just had the worry about a couple of things.

SPEAKER_08 43:35

Either way, Megan, I bet can they tomorrow will they be able to find them on our link tree?

SPEAKER_02 43:41

I will add them. Yeah. Perfect.

SPEAKER_07 43:45

And we want to hear crunchy on the bottom, cream on the middle.

SPEAKER_02 43:49

I mean, so well, I think with that, we're ready for slip it ins and pull it out.

SPEAKER_07 43:54

We sure are.

SPEAKER_02 43:55

And I'll start, and I'm gonna start with my pull it out.

SPEAKER_08 43:59

Oh, flipping the screw.

SPEAKER_02 44:01

Yep, it's COVID. It's that oh yes. That sucks. So it was not on my radar. I was shocked. I thought I had a bad cold and tested and was shocked.

SPEAKER_08 44:12

I can't believe the fact, I mean, Melissa and I were with you last weekend, and neither of us got it. Yeah. Thank luck goes. Thank Jesus. Because we are, and I'm not like Jesus. I'm not, I know that scratch that. You'll bring it to the screen. Can you edit that out? But we're going to well, that well, that'll be my slip. Go ahead. Sorry. Yeah, Jesus.

SPEAKER_02 44:34

So my slip it in is that I feel very lucky to have a partner who's been taking care of me.

SPEAKER_08 44:42

Aww.

SPEAKER_02 44:44

Getting me everything I need. And he drove to three places tonight to get these Reese's so I could try.

SPEAKER_07 44:54

That's so sweet. You were cutting up on the like the last thing. Can you say that again?

SPEAKER_02 44:58

That he drove to three places to get them for me for the podcast tonight.

SPEAKER_07 45:05

Nice.

SPEAKER_02 45:06

Um, because Kroger didn't have them, Walgreens didn't have them, but he was able to find them at Target.

SPEAKER_08 45:12

Nice. Target comes through again.

SPEAKER_02 45:14

Target is the one that seems to have them. They were all sold out at Kroger. They had them before.

SPEAKER_08 45:19

He's a keeper. He is.

SPEAKER_07 45:20

He's a keeper. I mean we love the doctor. Yes.

SPEAKER_08 45:26

Okay. Who would like to go next? Me? Oh no, that's you.

SPEAKER_05 45:33

Oh my god. What's happening? There we go. What is happening?

SPEAKER_07 45:36

What did you hear?

SPEAKER_05 45:38

I don't know.

SPEAKER_07 45:39

What did you hear? I heard I passed. Maybe some gays might recognize that sound. I heard my Tuesday. Well.

SPEAKER_05 45:50

Clue me in.

SPEAKER_07 45:51

You've never heard that sound before? No, I have not. It's the sound of the gay ad called Grindr.

SPEAKER_05 45:56

Okay.

SPEAKER_07 45:57

And Grinder is not my slip it in.

SPEAKER_05 46:00

Okay.

SPEAKER_07 46:01

My slip it in is, and I don't know if you've heard. No. But Christina Aguilera has a collaboration with Grindr.

SPEAKER_05 46:08

These collaborations are everywhere.

SPEAKER_07 46:11

No. Instead of having that sound, gays now have the option of have Christina Aguilera saying, come on over. Come on over, baby.

SPEAKER_02 46:22

I love it. And I have to say, I think this collaboration came out because Andy Cohen and John Hill were talking on Andy's morning show about when Andy was in Disneyland, he said all over Disney he kept hearing the grinder tone. And he said, we have to teach all our straight girls what that tone is so they know if their man's on the down low, because there were lots of gay dads at Disney.

SPEAKER_08 46:51

So what are you saying? You're saying that they're disguising it now so like when a wife hears their husband's phone say come on over by Christina Aguilera, that that's gonna throw them?

SPEAKER_02 47:02

They'll think it's just music by Christina Aguilera.

SPEAKER_08 47:04

Oh Mike. Would you, if Brian's phone started saying, come on over, would you be like, honey, I didn't know you were like into Christina Aguilera?

SPEAKER_02 47:14

Well, I'm in the no lab. So it other women might not be for us.

SPEAKER_07 47:20

So moving forward, that's my submit. So moving forward from you coming in from this too. It's the best thing. It made my time. I think that it's it's my favorite. Give that keeper. I think that we can talk about this a lot. And I'm gonna we wrap it up. My pull it out. I know that we're coming in from an episode that I told about my slipping and being and telling people I love you. My pull it out is American hugs. You Americans, there is a certain way that give me one cat uh hug that is not really not all of not my people, but some people give like this American hug that is like a side hug.

SPEAKER_08 48:06

I know what you're talking about.

SPEAKER_07 48:07

That is like it gives me like a little touch, but it's not really a hug. And it's just like that's weird. Yeah, it makes me cringe.

SPEAKER_05 48:14

Yeah, that is crazy.

SPEAKER_07 48:15

I'm like, I'd rather you not give me a hug. Right. I don't give it to me.

SPEAKER_08 48:18

I support you. Like pull me in and fucking hug me.

SPEAKER_07 48:22

Yeah, and I'm a very like I'm a Spanish, affectionate. If I'm gonna give you a hug, I'm gonna give you a hug. Right. And I remember like moving in into America, and I'm like telling my family, it's like I feel so like it's so creepy, like it's just a bunch of side hugs.

SPEAKER_08 48:38

It feels like a wet handshake. It does feel like a wet uh you know what I'm talking about.

SPEAKER_07 48:42

Oh, I say window handshake. I sure do. So that's my pull out.

SPEAKER_08 48:45

Melissa, I think you should go next.

SPEAKER_05 48:46

Okay. My uh slip it in is fall, the new season.

SPEAKER_08 48:53

Love it.

SPEAKER_05 48:54

I love it so much, and I feel like the transition from summer to fall is the best transition between any of the other seasons because winter to spring just it doesn't. You know, it's like there's a deserts. And then it just all of a sudden it's summer. But fall, like there's just such a change in the feeling. The pumpkins are weather.

SPEAKER_07 49:21

Something about it.

SPEAKER_05 49:22

It's there's just something about it, and it makes me feel happy and good.

SPEAKER_07 49:25

I love that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 49:26

So that is and the layers, and I know it's better weather, sweater weather so much. And pumpkin, every fucking thing is pumpkin.

SPEAKER_05 49:33

I love it. Um, my pull it out is the expression, I know, right? I cannot stand it. And it's been around for years, and I keep thinking it'll go away, and it doesn't. And it just bothers me. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 50:04
