Welcome Back And Birthday Banter

Speaker 0:06

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.

Speaker 5 0:22

You laugh, you cringe, you welcome, welcome, welcome, everyone. We are back slipping it in with you. This is Megan.

Speaker 2 0:30

And this is JJ.

Standby Stakes And National Delays

Speaker 3 0:32

JJ as an aka birthday boy. This is Matty. Yes, we have a birthday at the table. Happy birthday, JJ. Happy birthday. Did you guys miss us slippers? I missed us. Yeah. We did have a little bit of a lapse in between episodes. Um, but yeah, we'll get into that a little bit later about our story about our friend Harold. Um, he did get a little stage fright. Harold was a friend we were visiting in Houston. We had full intentions to record and share a really fun, funny story from our past with Harold, but we'll park it for right now. We'll get it's a hairy one.

Speaker 5 1:16

It definitely is. Well, and we had a hairy travel situation to Houston. I don't know about the rest of you out there, but I've been hearing a lot on the news and other radio shows and podcasts that I listen to. There's been a lot of travel issues because of the government shutdown and TSA and air traffic controllers aren't getting paid. So I think sometimes they're calling in sick or not showing up, or there's just shortages in general. So it complicates things. So normally that's just a problem here and there if you happen to be on one of those flights that get delayed and or canceled. However, I'm the daughter of a retired commercial airline pilot. So I'm still flying on standby.

Speaker 2 2:04

Oh my God. I got to experience that.

Speaker 3 2:07

Oh, I've experienced it before.

Speaker 5 2:09

All my friends at different points in time, I'm like, hey, just come on my dad's passes. It's super cheap. You can literally fly round trip for like $30 domestically. But the issue is you fly standby.

Speaker 3 2:23

Right.

Speaker 5 2:24

And in normal times, you might get stuck, but I'm usually pretty good. I've got my tricks to get around so that I usually can get where I need to go. But when there's major problems across the country with air traffic issues, as well as throw in some nor'easters, etc., travel becomes even more difficult.

Speaker 2 2:46

Yeah, and I've flown I've flown before an um standby because I have a family member that it's on um that works for uh Jet Blue. Um and I have not, I mean, I've had a couple experiences here and there, but not like this.

TSA Crotch Alerts And Pat-Down Drama

Speaker 3 3:01

Yeah, why don't we get into this?

Speaker 5 3:02

Yeah, okay. Well, it started with our arrival at the Detroit airport with JJ and his crouch.

Speaker 3 3:11

Yeah. I Can I just, for the record, for the people I'm traveling separate. So I've been in a situation before where the pass didn't go my way. And so I've politely declined the offer. And so I just I'm flying Delta.

Speaker 2 3:27

We went to Puerto Rico, right?

Speaker 3 3:28

Yeah, I remember that story. I and I got there on time. She got there a day later, if you recall. Because I walked up.

Speaker 5 3:33

Well, that wasn't pass related, that was just a mechanical.

Speaker 3 3:37

Well, whatever it was, I walked up to the counter and said, Delta, give me a ticket. I'm going and I'll see me again when she gets there. But anyway, I'm just I am on a separate. We're all merging into the city of Houston on the same day. That's the hope. And then I was on a separate travel schedule, travel plan. So this experience of you guys that you're telling, I'm not a part of it. Correct. No, not at all. In the as in being there physically, but I mean I come into the story in a minute.

unknown 4:09

Yeah.

Speaker 2 4:09

Yeah. And I to Megan's point, when we were traveling and the the whole TSA thing, um, I think that I've mentioned before, I do I normally travel with short shorts. My short shorts are always with me.

Speaker 5 4:21

Yep, they were on.

Speaker 2 4:22

But I was not thinking that they will get so much attention when we went to the TSA, and the guy for the first time ever, I see that my whole crotch was on red, like a full-on square. And he sat, he looked at me and he's like, So I had to pat you. It's going to be the back of my head, my hands. Um, but then he looked at me and he was a ginger. So, and he's like, We can do it private if you want. And for a slight second, I was like, I was like, Oh, maybe I can do it private with this ginger.

Speaker 4 5:02

You know, it was like one of those things that we're doing.

Speaker 2 5:07

I thought it was an invite.

Speaker 4 5:08

Yeah.

Speaker 2 5:09

But he, I mean, he went in, like he touched crutch and insights and all the things. Well, the doctor front and back, even though it was just a crotch.

Speaker 5 5:19

The doctor had the same issue when we went to Nashville. He got all lit up in the crotch and he had to get touched up lit up on the screen.

Speaker 3 5:28

Are you guys able to see the screen?

Speaker 2 5:30

And the back is behind us.

Speaker 3 5:31

But you're seeing it lit up.

Speaker 5 5:33

Yeah, apparently they show you and say, look, this, you know, you've been in the scan, you can see, and it's lit up. I was I didn't see either one. I don't know.

Speaker 2 5:43

It tastes like metal, I think. That sometimes.

Speaker 5 5:45

But what's metal down there for you? Did you have something in nothing?

Speaker 2 5:49

Was that not a cock ring or anything like that?

Speaker 5 5:51

The doctor didn't either. And he had on jeans, so it wasn't your short shorts.

Speaker 3 5:55

No. And I think your doctor has a cock ring.

Speaker 5 5:58

I would say and Jeff Lewis I thought maybe it was a Detroit thing because it didn't happen leaving Nashville to come home.

Speaker 2 6:07

Oh, okay, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 6:08

But Jeff Lewis had the same experience leaving LA and he got his crotch got lit up and he had to get touched up. He talked about it on his radio. Come on, all that!

Speaker 3 6:17

I just wonder, I know you guys are saying the crotch got lit up, but like I just like when I was going through, there was somebody in front of me that's like, sir, you need to step over here, and he's like, Did I set did I send off the signal or whatever? And they're like, It's random. Oh, really? Like randomly they're checking somebody, but like no, I saw I saw that crotch alert, crotch alert, crotch alert, and so did the doctor.

Speaker 5 6:44

He said it was all lit up in his crotch area, and that's what Jeff Lewis said too.

Speaker 3 6:49

I don't know. Like are you both shaved down there?

Speaker 2 6:52

Is that I am I mean I'm I'm trimmed, but I don't I think the doctor's probably full. But no, I only honestly speaking, I only looked at the little TV because he said to me, Your crotch is smart. You can take a look at it.

Speaker 3 7:10

Oh, Mark. I thought you said my crotch. No, no, no, no Mark.

Speaker 2 7:13

I thought he said it can be um smarty pants, yeah. Literally, no, but he did say you can look at the screen so that it's I'm not making it. So he's justifying what he's about to do to you. Yeah, 100%.

Speaker 3 7:26

Yeah, got it. So then it feels like attack. So did you feel at the end of it like, wow, this is off to a great start or an even better start?

Speaker 2 7:35

I was like, oh Megan, immediately when I saw Megan, I was like, Megan, you just loving it.

Missed Flights And Strategy At The Gate

Speaker 5 7:40

Oh, well, I'm like, oh, the doctor had the same situation. Like I was already on top of it. So anyway, from the night before, it looked like us taking the 9 30 a.m. flight, we were gonna have no problems. By the time we got to the airport and I checked, all of a sudden, there's like four seats, I think, and we're like seven and eight. And I'm like, well, this isn't looking good.

Speaker 3 8:05

Or seven, eight, sorry. Yeah, six, seven.

Speaker 5 8:07

And so then we get to the gate, we're waiting, and sure enough, we don't get on.

Speaker 2 8:16

He was not looking good.

Speaker 5 8:18

And I look, and all the other flights have just a few seats available, and there's many pass riders, and there's gonna be a few people ahead of us.

Speaker 2 8:27

Can you believe that we were sitting there and Megan is contemplating the options? So at that point, yes.

Speaker 3 8:32

I'm just gonna say yes, I can believe that. No matter what you're about to say, I'm gonna be like, yes.

Speaker 2 8:37

Well, she looked at me and she's like, Well, there is another flight coming in, JJ. But if worse comes to worse, what we could do is that we can fly to San Francisco.

Speaker 3 8:50

We are in Detroit and we're going to Houston. Right. Uh, yeah, I'm trying to the flight path is a little off.

Speaker 2 8:57

It's a little off. But I'm not, I'm not gonna lie. I I there was a slight moment that I was thinking, well, I did not mention this to Megan because I know that she would take my word for it. But I'm like, well, if we're mentioning San Francisco, I know that Megan will love to do a little Waymo.

Speaker 5 9:12

Oh God, I would have. Like if he'd mentioned it, I might have been like, let's just stay here in Detroit and try to get on these flights to Houston that don't look good just to get on that five o'clock flight to San Fran where we can Waymo around before we get on the flight to Houston.

Speaker 1 9:26

Unbelievable.

Speaker 5 9:28

Anyway, I was like, I think we're better off driving to Chicago because the flights to Chicago to Houston, there's several, there's one every hour, and there's seats available on each one. I think we'll get out that way.

Speaker 1 9:43

Yeah.

Speaker 5 9:43

Otherwise, I'm afraid we're not gonna get out and we'll be stuck going to San Francisco, and then we take the overnight to Houston. So really we arrive next day. And my whole goal was to get there that day.

Speaker 4 9:56

Right.

Speaker 5 9:57

I'm like, if we go to Chicago, I think we'll get there. It'll just be a few hours later.

Speaker 2 10:01

And at this point, Megan and I were just like obviously planning, and Megan is looking at me like, are we communicating this to the group? Like, because they are texting us.

Speaker 3 10:11

Grab your shit, we gotta go.

Speaker 5 10:12

Well, because JJ's like, let's just wait for the 10 o'clock. And I'm like, if we wait for the 10, we're not gonna make the two, and the two looks the best to get to Houston.

Speaker 3 10:21

In our first rodeo, yeah.

The Detroit To Chicago Pivot

Speaker 5 10:23

And so I'm like, I think we gotta cut our losses now and get in. Grab that carry-on girl, and well, and then I'm you had to check the bags. Um, yeah, our bags were checked and on the flight. So I knew they were on the flight to even though we didn't get on, our bags went to Houston. So I'm like, perfect. We don't, we're now just carry-on only, so we can maneuver.

Speaker 2 10:44

Yes.

Speaker 3 10:45

And we're like, well, because there's three others of us traveling, and we were communicating and we weren't hearing from you, and we're like, oh, that makes sense. They're in the air.

Speaker 2 10:53

No, not so much. And we were supposed to be there the first of the crew. Right.

Speaker 3 10:58

You were gonna be in the pool, you'll be in the cocktail to the city.

Speaker 2 11:01

The night before you came to me and said, JJ, we're gonna do a Ramona style on the housewives. You're claiming our rooms as soon as you get in, before you get in.

Speaker 3 11:09

But I also had an asterisk on that, and I said, unless, of course, something goes haywire. So we'll see how it pans out.

Speaker 5 11:18

Well, these goddamn government shutdowns affect you in many ways.

Speaker 2 11:23

Yeah.

Speaker 5 11:23

Luckily, we're not federal workers, so we're all still getting paid. But I empathize with all the federal workers out there.

Speaker 2 11:31

So we hop in the car.

Speaker 5 11:33

We hop in the car, we're off to Chicago. Well, we did a stop at Starbucks. I stopped at home because I thought I had to get my um toll booth thing. So then we got on the road.

Speaker 2 11:46

I didn't know.

Speaker 5 11:46

Yeah, we had a little stopover. Yeah, and off we went.

Speaker 2 11:49

We had to get to Starbucks ourselves because of our rewards.

Speaker 4 11:53

Yeah, they're bad. I didn't know. I told you they're bad.

Speaker 2 11:57

Maddie, I couldn't even pay for it because she's like, no, I need to.

Speaker 3 12:00

Well, at this point, I would be letting her pay for everything.

Speaker 5 12:05

So as we're driving to Chicago, I'm like, okay, I think we need to let everyone know what's going on. And I'm like, why don't we call Matty and see what's going on with him? He's probably at the airport already, and we'll let him know.

Speaker 2 12:20

At this point, we're probably 110 miles per hour, and Megan with her phone.

Speaker 5 12:24

Not always. When I get to 100, I slow down.

Speaker 2 12:27

She was trying to check on flights as we were going to Chicago because Chicago is a United Hub. And it's four-hour drive. So it's so she's like flying, like I'm like praying for my life.

Speaker 5 12:38

Well, my car also has driving itself capabilities, just so you know. Great.

Speaker 3 12:44

That's just good to know now. Good for when you're trying to catch that flight.

Speaker 5 12:48

Well, we called you in that moment, Matty.

Speaker 3 12:52

We probably will not answer the phone, but I'm like, this is interesting. We were supposed to be in the air. How are they calling me uh? And immediately I'm like, something's amiss.

Speaker 4 13:03

It was.

Speaker 3 13:04

So I do answer and I'm greeted with like the jolliest of jolly people I think we were. You guys had a Starbucks going five. Like, what is going on? And slowly the story's unfolding. And and like we're talking in it, and at some point, I'm like, I'm really shocked at the like demeanor I am getting. I'm like, because why exactly? I think this is exactly what happened. You're like, why? And I'm like, well, let me get this straight. You're at Detroit, you got up at like five in the morning, you're at Detroit. I might be taking some liberties here. Bear with me. But then you've got felt up, and then you've gotten I was happy early. Well, okay, there, okay, that yeah, that can go either way, and then you're like back in the car, yeah, back on the road, four hours, four hours to Chicago, and then you still don't know what's happening, and like you guys are hee hee he. And I'm like, these guys should be full of piss and vinegar, and instead they are just like jolly jolly jolly.

Speaker 2 14:09

Full of full of fun.

Speaker 5 14:10

Piss and vinegar. No idea what that means. You don't know that.

Speaker 2 14:14

Like, what do you mean?

Speaker 3 14:15

Like fit fit to be tied. Oh my god.

Speaker 1 14:22

Here we are. So you don't know.

Speaker 2 14:24

Pissed, piss and vinegar is like a piss, like I'm piss.

Speaker 4 14:28

Yeah, like you're mad.

Speaker 2 14:29

Like you're fired up.

unknown 14:30

Yeah.

Speaker 2 14:31

Which is also like fit to pick. But piss, not like pee. Like piss.

Speaker 3 14:34

Piss and vinegar. Well, I mean, I don't know. Yeah.

Speaker 5 14:37

That's just a phrase. I don't know what literally it means.

Speaker 2 14:39

Yeah, we have to do it. Like bitter.

Speaker 3 14:42

Like you're you're just mad. You're like, this is the worst thing ever. I'm in a car driving 110 with me getting away. It was an 110.

Speaker 5 14:51

It was a moment here earlier.

Speaker 3 14:53

That is by definition fit to be tied. Yes, fit to bigger. Fit to be tied. Fit to be tied.

Speaker 5 14:58

They're both little phrases for when you're mad or you're in a circle, you know, an uncomfortable situation.

Speaker 3 15:05

I mean something. I don't think Gen Alpha's using it these days, but fit to be tied. So anyway, yeah. So you get to Chicago.

Parking Hack Victory At O’Hare

Speaker 5 15:12

Yeah. Well, we get to Chicago, and luckily, while we drove, JJ reached out to ChatGPT and asked where we can park for the cheapest daily rate for long-term parking that doesn't require us to take shuttles because we just wanted to like hop on a train from parking to get to the terminal.

Speaker 2 15:33

I forgot about that. Yeah, that was great.

Speaker 5 15:37

So we drove up and there is a line of cars waiting to get into economy F. I'm like, well, this isn't good because mind you, we're also trying to catch a 220. And we by the time we left Detroit, it was probably like 10:30, 11 a.m. Probably. And then there's an hour change in between. So like 220, we probably were gonna make it, but we needed to like keep ourselves on a steady track.

Speaker 3 16:03

Not to no pun intended here, but we need to land the plane.

Speaker 5 16:06

Well, okay. So we pull up to Economy F parking, and there's three or four cars in front of us. And I'm like, well, what's going on here? And they each are talking to this little guy in a truck that's sitting there, and then they all drive off, and we notice they're not letting people in to this economy F parking garage. So we talk to the little guy, and he's like, Oh, thank you so much. He was a short little man. He's like, Thank you so much for your patience. We're so sorry.

Speaker 2 16:35

He was apologizing.

Speaker 5 16:36

Yeah, and we're like, Oh, no problem. And he's like, You can't park here. He's like, but I'm gonna give you this for voucher parking to park at the main terminal. Oh, that's a dream. And I'm like, Yeah, I'm thinking, this is great. And he goes, Yeah. No, but I'm like, where do I go? And he tells me you go to like parking C, it's for the disappear disabled. And when I hear that, I'm thinking, ooh, that's even better. Like, I'm gonna be close to the airport and the gates. So off we went with our voucher. Well, then we get to the parking lot. We're not sure how the voucher works. So we drive in, we drive out. Yeah. Luckily, there's a lady at the gate. How tall was she?

Speaker 3 17:14

She appeared to be normal.

Speaker 5 17:16

And she said, No, you use this when you leave. Like you don't do it pre-ahead. I'm like, oh, okay, we misunderstood.

Speaker 2 17:23

Yeah. Oh we drove back in and parked. Main parking, like right steps, like making love.

Speaker 5 17:29

You act like $75 a day. It was $75 a day for parking.

Speaker 3 17:36

After a four-hour drive from Detroit.

Speaker 5 17:38

We got it for like $23. $23. Wow. Yeah.

Speaker 3 17:41

It's the it's the little thing. I love that. Park.

Speaker 4 17:46

So you're parked. We park.

St. Louis Connection And Finally Houston

Speaker 5 17:48

Get on the flight. We get in. I'm TSA pre-check. So I leave JJ. He goes through regular security. While he's in security, I start looking up the flights. And I'm like, these goddamn flights to Houston are all not looking so great. But then I notice, because now that I'm just doing Houston, Chicago, Houston, it's giving me some other options. And there's a St. Louis option. Yeah. Chicago, St. Louis to Houston, and it gets us in at 7:30. And I'm like, that's probably maybe our best bet because they both flights look wide open.

Speaker 2 18:25

I knew it when I saw her face after I'm like, she's like, Well, JJ, I have some news to you. Oh my god. I'm sure.

Speaker 5 18:34

And he was still trying to get himself together from TSA. No crotch touching. So he wasn't smiling.

Speaker 3 18:41

I was a little, yeah.

Speaker 5 18:42

Yeah. Disappointed by it.

Speaker 3 18:43

Just so y'all know, I was in the Delta Lounge having a smart team.

Speaker 2 18:48

Well, yeah, so this is like at this point, I said Detroit didn't happen. We drove to Chicago, right? Hoping for Chicago, Houston. Didn't happen. Then now is we're gonna hop in from Chicago to San Diego in San Diego. Then we were in the world.

Speaker 5 19:05

No, St. Louis, not San Diego. No, no, we were just going a little south.

Speaker 1 19:10

Yeah.

Speaker 5 19:11

So JJ looked a little haggard, like, really St. Louis. And I'm like, well, I think it's our best option, but we've got to decide because they leave at the same time. And so he's like, let's, and they're in completely different terminals. So off we went to St. Louis. We get on the flight with St. Louis, no problem. We land. We're hoping to get a little snack. That St. Louis airport, it's looking a little tired and not a lot of food options.

Speaker 3 19:37

Oh Lord. Okay, you guys.

Speaker 5 19:39

We get a snack. We get back on. We're on to Houston. No problems.

Speaker 3 19:44

You arrive.

Speaker 5 19:45

We arrived.

Speaker 3 19:46

It was a best time. Fresh as a daisy.

Speaker 5 19:47

Yeah. We were. You guys were a little bit of a hot mess when we were.

Speaker 3 19:51

Oh my God. You guys have been traveling for 13 hours.

Speaker 5 19:55

Well, we weren't drinking on the plane either, which you guys are.

Speaker 3 19:58

I did. I had one cocktail. Well, I had one espresso martini in the lounge and one vodka soda on the plane.

Speaker 5 20:06

And we were coming no drink.

Speaker 3 20:07

However, our other two friends did down a bottle of champagne. Yeah.

Speaker 5 20:12

It was a little messy, but we arrived. We were happy. We arrived. We were landed at 7:30.

Pool Days And Empty Bars In Houston

Speaker 3 20:19

Here's the thing. We were gonna talk about, we anticipated a full good episode around everything we were doing in Houston. Yeah. Yeah. But really the story the story has been more about your actual getting there. So we're gonna tighten up the actual Houston activities. Here's what we did. You guys layer in if I missed anything, but like they have uh our friends have a pool. We did a lot of pool activity, a lot of drinking, a lot of different options of cocktails. Yeah, we met some of their friends, we went out to it. It was the weirdest thing, would you say? We'll keep it quick, but on like the Friday, like what we normally thought would be like happy hour, people are getting out of work early, hitting the bars for a cocktail. We were in these big, huge bars, nobody's there.

Speaker 2 21:03

It kind of felt that the the you know, our host, our friend, pretty much just rented the it felt like for the whole like and in fact, that's what he was it was a joke, that's what Harry kept saying.

Speaker 5 21:13

I honestly didn't mind it. Like they had these free games, like we played these free games like that I haven't played in years, and I really enjoyed it. And I enjoyed not having randoms around.

Speaker 2 21:23

I actually saw a competitive side of Megan that I've never seen before on that Miss Pac-Man.

Speaker 3 21:28

She was like, Who wants to play? And she's doing her class, like, who's next? Yes, she was. JJ, you want to play? Get up here. Anyway, um, then you know, we did go to the varsity, which is like a you know, it was a low-key sports gay bar. But then we were like, what about this? What do you call it? Rods, Rodney's Watkins.

Speaker 5 21:49

Before you get there, we started at Montrose Country.

Speaker 3 21:52

I was just throwing it all together.

Speaker 5 21:53

Yeah, but that was like my one of my favorite bars I've ever been to.

Leather Night At Ripcord

Speaker 3 21:57

Oh, it was a restaurant. No, it wasn't. Oh, it was my bad, my bad, my bad.

Speaker 5 22:03

So this, you walk into this pool with cabanas and tons of lounge chairs around. You can hang out, you can pull it up, you can get drinks delivered to you. It was like a hotel pool, a fancy, nice hotel pool. You walk in, there's a whole outdoor patio with really cool uh seating. You have either little booths or you have lots of little banquettes and things. And then you went into a little peacock room, which was this cute little bar with like peacock wallpaper. And then you went into another bar that was more like a nightclub, like a fancy nightclub. So I was loving it. I'm like, if we had this in Detroit in the summer, like I'd be calling my gaze up every weekend. Like, hey, let's hit Montrose for some pool action because it's like a free way to drink and hang by the pool.

Speaker 3 22:57

There's definitely some like people watching out. Yeah. So I love this.

Speaker 2 23:04

It's it has some pool and there's a bottle. You need to look it up, and there's like uh some gay events throughout the summer.

Speaker 5 23:11

Well, it doesn't need to be uh gay, but I'm just saying I'm looking for the pool. Well, okay. But well normally I'm trying to figure out ways to sneak into a hotel pool for a day, so this works out better. So I love Montrose Country Club shout out. I think we all did.

Speaker 3 23:27

I think then we stumbled upon this ripcord. Ripcord, I was like Rod King.

Speaker 2 23:33

Yeah, ripcord, yeah.

Speaker 3 23:35

It was a leather bar, but like it was like Mr. Leather Universe going on.

Speaker 5 23:40

It was a major leather contest.

Speaker 2 23:42

Yes, yes, smell leather everywhere.

Speaker 5 23:44

It was called Leather Daddy. I think it was a leather daddy contest or like Mr. Leather, and all these local leather clubs, which I didn't even know existed, that there's local leather clubs, were up there admitting new members, and you'd get a little leather vest that had these patches on it. They weren't giving out harness, you harnessed yourself, but they were giving off the vest to their new members. Yeah, so I was learning quite a bit about this leather world. Yeah, that there's clubs and it's just like camaraderie.

Speaker 3 24:15

There's like eagles everywhere around the country. That's what they're using.

Speaker 5 24:18

I thought those were for lesbians.

Speaker 2 24:21

Not mine, no, no, eagles, usually after eagles like a lesbian. I can't.

Speaker 5 24:27

I thought the Eagles, there was an Eagles club up north, like in Oh, 6'7. Well, whatever. Don't use six seven, stupid.

Why “Harold” Didn’t Record

The Infamous Hairy Towel Story

Speaker 3 24:35

All right. So the other thing that really was gonna be a centerpiece for this trip was a recording. Yeah, we brought the equipment and we brought well, you all you all were having that equipment all over the country getting there, but it got there. But um, so we were gonna record with Harold, and we were trying to lay out like, okay, here's when like let's do this, and Harold got a little stage fright. Yes, just because of which happens, right? Yeah, I mean, but like I think it was he was a little bit worried about the story itself and getting it tied back to him, but the story is not anywhere inappropriate, it's just it does talk about nether regions and stuff. So, anyway, so that's one of the reasons why we had a lapse in our podcast, is because we didn't end up recording. We were, I mean, uh, at the end of the day, we respected what he wanted, but I do have permission from him to tell the story today, which I've been sitting on since the beginning. 22. I've been waiting. I've been waiting for this moment. It's such one of my favorite stories of my life, and um, we have protected him by changing his name. So we're calling him Harold. Harry for sure. Yeah, and you'll see why.

Speaker 2 25:59

Yeah.

Speaker 3 26:00

Okay, here's the story. I was in my previous relationship. We had we shared or we owned a condo, and uh, we decided to put the condo up for sale because we've separated, we're going our own ways, and it sold so fast that neither of us moving out of the condo really had made arrangements of where, you know, like now where am I gonna live? I've got to get out of this place because it's been bought. So Harry let me temporarily set up shop at his place. So I put my stuff in storage, I moved in with him, he was renting a house in Ferndale, and all is good. So we're cohabitating and one day I he it's the morning, he is up, it's a weekend, he's outside mowing the lawn. I wake up, I'm like, oh, okay, I'm gonna get showered before I start my day. So I grab a towel from like the closet uh pantry. I don't know if that's what you call it. Okay, so like what like a linen closet? Yeah, it's a linen closet in the bathroom. Perfect, perfect. I grab a towel from the linen closet, I jump in the shower, I am done showering as we do.

Speaker 2 27:18

So you shared your towels?

Speaker 3 27:20

Well, no.

Speaker 2 27:22

When you move in with Harry.

Speaker 5 27:24

He moved in with none of his stuff. He just packed it and stored it. So he just moved because um Harry had like a three-bedroom, four-bedroom house. It was all furnished, etc. So Maddie just came with clothes.

Speaker 3 27:37

And I just went to the linen closet, got a folded towel from the linen closet, and well, it wasn't actually folded.

Speaker 2 27:43

It was, yeah, yeah, it yeah. Well, Harry explained it. Harry does say it's rolled. He would roll them.

Speaker 4 27:52

Oh, all the towels.

Speaker 2 27:54

I actually, that's how I met you. And I live also, I was her roommate with Harry as well. Yes. And he will that. People are like, why are you guys debating this?

Speaker 3 28:01

But it will become apparent. Yeah. But either way, when I grabbed this towel out of this, it looked like every other towel, and I just it seemed like the uh ready to go, exactly, ready to use white towel towel.

Speaker 2 28:15

White towel. That's very important.

Speaker 3 28:17

Okay, so as you do, if the towel is in reach of the shower, when I'm done showering, open up the shower curtain, reach out, towel's on the bathroom sink. I grab the towel. I'm wet, my eyes are closed. I take the towel, and as I do, start up at the top, work my way down with the towel.

Speaker 2 28:39

You should start with my legs.

Speaker 3 28:40

Okay.

Speaker 5 28:40

Oh, I always start with my favorite thing is I take that towel and put it right on my face. I love just feeling that soft towel on my wet face and hair, and I love it. My favorite thing.

Speaker 3 28:51

Wow, sorry about it. She's gonna use that voice in a minute.

Speaker 4 28:53

Well, no, but you I'm assuming did the same thing. Well, I yes, but not with such sensuality.

Speaker 2 28:59

Wow, she loves the feeling of a tiny little hair.

Speaker 3 29:03

I just start at the top and I work my way down when I dry off. So I'm doing that, I start at the top. No, okay, dry, dry, dry. I it goes over my face. I start to dry off my chest, and all of a sudden I do a little of this. I'm spitting like, you know, like, oh, what is that?

Speaker 5 29:21

So I think like I've got a little It's lint, lint from the top that happens sometimes.

Speaker 3 29:25

I kind of keep moving, and then I like the eyes open because the water's clean, and I look down, you guys. Fucking covered in Harry's pubic hair. Oh my god.

Speaker 2 29:38

You had black hair everywhere on your face. How do you know what's pubic hair? It's not like his body hair.

Speaker 3 29:43

Okay. Either or I like it is black short hairs all over me. And I'm pitting them out of like they're in my mouth. Yeah, and I am like, oh, you cannot. My God. So then I mean. Immediately jump back in the shower, right? Yeah. To get it all on. Did you get a new towel? Back out. Thank God. I didn't have a towel then. But like again, he's out mowing the lawn. I can actually see him out there mowing the lawn from the bathroom window upstairs. So I just know that it's okay. I can come out of the bathroom naked or whatever, go across to the linen closet, get another one, which then looks like all the mess.

Speaker 4 30:23

Yeah.

Speaker 3 30:23

And I dry off. How then I go downstairs, I go outside, I open up the slider door, and I'm like, are you fucking kidding me? And he's like just pushing his little lawnmower around and he's like, shuts the lawnmower off. And he's like, What happened? I'm like, I just took a shower and I dried off, and it I had your pubic hair all over my whole body. Unbeknownst to me, his two gay neighbors were sitting out on their porch right next door. And I know you guys can't see us because we're not on video right now. But imagine a man hold like newspapers are still a thing. He's holding a newspaper in front of his face, and I look over, and the newspaper is like bent down and he's looking over the top of the street. Yeah, he's like, oh, this is a gay spat next door. It's about to go on.

Speaker 5 31:18

Yeah, he was loving that tea.

Speaker 3 31:20

So then that's pretty much the story. But then Rolando's like, Well, I'm not used to having anyone live with me. Yeah. So he trimmed, he like body hair. Put the towel down, trimmed his pubits and body hair. Yeah. But he just then folded it and rolled it and put it in the living closet.

Speaker 5 31:40

Well, he says he was getting ready for a day and was like rushing for time. So he just wanted it to look good. Like if for some reason, and so he rolled it up. It looked so good all over me. And then he forgot about it. He forgot about the towel that he's just instead of putting it in like toilet, like in his laundry area, he like just put it there so it would look so much.

Speaker 3 32:04

I just can't tell you. I can't die. I brought back to that moment like the feeling of that, like the moment I realized, oh, this isn't a towel linen flint little uh lint in my mouth. It is Rolano's body haircut.

Speaker 5 32:21

I cannot imagine.

Speaker 3 32:22

And I'm like, whoa! I all I was like back in the shower, and I'm also like, yeah.

Speaker 2 32:28

I wouldn't, oh God.

Speaker 3 32:30

I mean, it was everywhere on me. I'm sure. Yeah. Because that's why we're calling him Harry. So there was a lot going on.

Speaker 5 32:39

Well, I like the name Harry because it makes me think of Prince Harry. So I actually, the whole story kind of gives me a little royalty.

Speaker 3 32:46

Maybe one day when he's willing to come forward, we'll release his true identity.

Speaker 5 32:51

Yeah, I just it just oh, every thought of it, I'm like, I just feel it on my chest.

Speaker 3 32:56

Well, it's so funny because when we were in Houston, he's like, you know, he's he's he was a very great host. So he put stuff on. He's the best always. And he put it out again. He's like, you might want to check your demo.

Speaker 2 33:09

So it's you know it's this is this funny because it kind of reminded me of the story. Like, I mean, you've probably heard it and seen like the whole viral and sold out Skim's new underwear that is a full uh fan for a fur. Fuck fur? Full faux fur, full full fur, which is kind of imitating like pubic hair, and it comes in every color, yeah. It comes in like red, brunette, blonde. So it's like, does the carpet match the drapes or drapes matches the carpet? And it's just it's sold out very quickly.

Speaker 5 33:43

Yeah, it's people just love a little patch, it's sold out immediately, like, but we've been taking some secret pulling of our straight male friends because I don't see the beauty of this. I don't want it, I wouldn't buy it, I wouldn't wear it.

Speaker 2 34:00

But I think that the way that they are it's like kind of in a 70s vibe.

Speaker 5 34:03

So I bring it still, but our straight guy friends, like including the doctor and some other male friends we've asked, all were anti this bushy bond.

Speaker 3 34:14

Just do not unless you are just photographing it. If you are getting intimate, if you're a straight, I don't understand. Slip the thong for the side and just but it's just like you're pushing a toupee over. It's a it's like a toupee for your pussy. Yeah, it is like a too pussy.

Speaker 5 34:29

I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan.

Speaker 2 34:31

I don't get sold out. I mean, I think that you know, we gotta give it to Kim. She's always like her marketing campaigns and things like that. She does it, yeah.

Speaker 3 34:40

But I will say it's probably sold out solely because the novelty of it and the fact that it's Kim K. I don't, I could be wrong. I could be wrong, but I don't think it's gonna be like the next big fashion trip.

Speaker 5 34:53

I wonder though, if people, because it's close to Halloween, if people who are wearing like a little short skirt might be if I'm like a redhead, I'm gonna do a black one to like do a little flash out and about, or vice versa. Like the whole campaign is like, do the curtains match the drapes? Or no the carpet. Does the carpet match the curtains?

Speaker 2 35:14

The drapes, well, call me pits and vinegar. I cannot get them right.

Speaker 5 35:21

Remember in Houston when we were talking, I'm like, this is a pain in my back, or what did I say? A needle in my back?

Speaker 3 35:28

A needle in my back. I'm like, do you mean a pain in your ass?

Speaker 5 35:31

Yeah, no, it's a pimp.

Speaker 2 35:32

This is why for me it's hard to keep up with all these American sayings.

Speaker 5 35:36

I can't say them and I get them wrong.

Speaker 2 35:39

You know, it's all those, yeah. It's just all but the bush is back with Kim. I just don't know.

Speaker 5 35:44

It's a yeah, if you want a bush song, they're sold out on skims, but we appreciate the viral commercials. They're kind of cute and funny.

Speaker 2 35:53

The commercials are funny, and I I see your point, Megan. Like, I see, I see like now, you know, the next the sexy nurses having a little red, you know, yeah.

Viral Airplane Snacks: Hits And Misses

Speaker 3 36:02

If you're gonna do the kind of well, I guess if you're into role-playing as well. That's like yeah, but I'm gonna say that. And I know you guys don't agree with me, and that's fine, but I just don't think middle class American straight men are going to necessarily be up on the Kim K faux fur uh new product.

Speaker 5 36:26

So And it was 50-50. 50 of them knew about it, and 50 of them didn't.

Speaker 3 36:30

But even the men we're polling are like more, I think, into cultural things just adjacent to us and all that stuff. They're like middle America may not be up on it.

Speaker 4 36:45

So I'm a straight farmer, and I go and I go out where I'm trying to give you contacts.

Speaker 3 36:54

Okay, but the farmers are hurting now too because they're getting screwed over, and all they're looking for is maybe a little fur, like a little fun. Yeah, and they go to their local tavern, things go well for them, they get home, and she starts to undress, and let's say it's a burgundy bush, and he's like, I love that. And then all of a sudden the whole thing starts to shift on its own, and it's like, or it just disappears. It's just like I think it makes for a very awkward moment. That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 4 37:28

I guess it could.

Speaker 3 37:29

The farmer is gonna not know what's happening and be like, why does this woman have a I don't faux vagina?

Speaker 5 37:36

I don't think girls are wearing it just out and about, I think they're wearing it more for like a specific thing because honestly, the way clothes are so tight and stuff now, I think you're gonna notice this big bushy hair there.

Speaker 3 37:51

Yeah, like it's I think people I think it's all because it was a novelty. I think you might be on to something with Halloween, yeah. But I just also think like, oh, Kim K put this out there, it's such a crazy idea. I'll buy it, it's a novelty, I'll keep it. Uh, whatever. Yeah, well, we'll see. We'll see. Yeah.

Speaker 5 38:09

Well, let's talk about some viral. We had a lot of talk about travel. I want to talk about some airplane treats that have kind of gone viral.

Speaker 1 38:19

Okay.

Speaker 5 38:19

And I don't know if you guys are aware, but United is serving on its flights these undercover agent dark chocolate quinoa crisps. Now, I, yeah, right after COVID, when people started traveling again, I took a flight early on and it was on United, and I had these as a snack, and I was like, oh my God, these are like the best things ever. I was immediately obsessed. Now, mind you, I'm not really a big quinoa fan, and I don't like rice crispy treats. So I was like, So it's weird. When I got it, I thought, I'm not gonna like this. And I took a bite and I was in heaven. It's like a dark chocolate sea salt, so it gives you just a hint of salt. It's not too salty, and it has a really good chocolate taste, but it's light and airy. Love it. I immediately searched everywhere to buy it at that time. No stores had it, had to get it from Amazon.

Speaker 3 39:12

Lucky for you, you have four or five connections on a flight path. Well, yeah, sometimes I can collect them. Yeah.

Speaker 5 39:19

So anyway, I love them. Check them out. I try them, yeah. I know are you a fan, Maddie's? I try them.

Speaker 3 39:26

Here's what I'll say. I'm not not a fan. I like the way you set it up and talk about it is not the experience I have. Like, I taste it. I'm like, uh I'm like, I don't, I wouldn't want more of them, and I don't find them awful, but I just don't find them amazing.

Speaker 2 39:44

I try them on my way back from Houston uh to Detroit because I was able to get on the flight and Megan didn't. That's a different story. Um, and I'm like, you know what? I mind myself, I'm gonna try it. It was they're very good. Yeah, and I'm I'm I'm like you. I'm not I'm not a big Rice Krispie uh that's weird. I do love it up.

Speaker 3 40:03

Which is weird that you guys, neither of you are real big Rice Krispie fans and you like these. Yeah, I am a Rice Krispy fan, and I don't know you don't.

Speaker 5 40:11

So maybe that's it. Maybe that's it. You can't be into that crisp.

Speaker 3 40:14

Yeah, maybe an under it's called undercover. Maybe the undercover rice crispy.

Speaker 5 40:19

And they come in other flavors, like they have a milk chocolate version, they have some with cherries and blueberries. I've tried all of them.

Speaker 3 40:26

You love a raspberry.

Slip It Ins And Pull It Outs

Speaker 5 40:26

Yeah, I love just the plain dark chocolate and sea salt. Okay, but anyway, I also want to quickly mention any of you people who fly Southwest, you know people are obsessed with the snacks on Southwest. They're made, they're called stellar pretzel braids. They come in a bunch of different flavors. Yep, a little ASMR, but the flavor on Southwest that they serve is Maui Monk, and people go crazy to the point I've heard people talking about them on talk shows and podcasts. And I'm like, I need to like book a flight on Southwest to try these pretzel grades because people were talking about how amazing they were. So mind you, I finally tracked him down. I found them in our local store, but before I knew they were there, I'd ordered them on Amazon. I had to get a four-pack of all their flavors. The Maui Monk, it's kind of just okay for me. Like it didn't like do a ton for me, but I'm glad I didn't buy a flight to Southwest for it.

Speaker 3 41:29

But people get to pick your own seat.

Speaker 2 41:32

That's the new spot. Well, that is good.

Speaker 5 41:34

Exactly.

Speaker 2 41:35

You got me a pretzel because you know I love me a pretzel rub, and they're pretzel braid.

Speaker 4 41:39

These are pretzel braids.

Speaker 3 41:43

Yeah, true.

Speaker 4 41:43

He does. That's episode.

Speaker 3 41:45

Go back. Go back.

Speaker 4 41:47

You'll hear all about the pretzel.

Speaker 3 41:49

Yeah.

Speaker 4 41:50

The sticks. Those those pretzel sticks. I liked them.

Speaker 5 41:52

I'm a fan of the fan. You like them.

Speaker 3 41:55

Uh-huh.

Speaker 5 41:56

So check them out. Those are you can get them. Can we get them on our link tree?

Speaker 3 41:59

Can we get them on our link tree?

Speaker 5 42:01

I'll put them both on our link tree. And I'll actually put all the different flavors for stellar pretzel braids on, as well as the undercover agent.

Speaker 3 42:09

Well, awesome. Well, how about the undercover beaver?

Speaker 5 42:12

Well, we can. Yeah. You can't buy it, but I'll put them. I'll put them on our link tree.

Speaker 3 42:18

No, two pussy.

Speaker 5 42:20

Yeah.

Speaker 3 42:21

I don't like saying the word.

Speaker 5 42:23

Well, with that, I think it's time for some slip it ins and pull it outs. And my slip it in may seem a little crazy with our commentary today, but it is travel. I just love travel and JJ is a fabulous travel partner. Like to the extent that I feel like we should go on the amazing race. No, he was not. I feel like we would be great on amazing race. You would have been oh God. Thank God it was JJ, not you.

Speaker 3 42:51

I told, I think I did I tell you guys on the call. I'm like, just so you know, if I was in that car with you right now, you would not be laughing. Or I totally would not be, but no. I'm glad, like, I'm glad you guys had the adventure. Yeah, it was an adventure. And I'm kind of, yeah. I'm ready.

Speaker 5 43:08

I kind of, you know, do it again. Well, some people, like most of the time, nine times out of ten, it goes perfectly. And sometimes I get fabulous first class seats, and I'm paying $12 for the flight. So no issues. The other times there's craziness. And I just kind of let it go and I'm like, I'm up for the adventure, and who knows where I'll end up tonight. Maybe it ended us on a Waymo ride, and you know, I would have been giddy.

Speaker 2 43:37

You were, yeah.

Speaker 5 43:38

So my slip it ins travel and my pull it out is pumpkin spice. Oh, so we're not even in November, and I can't handle it. I'm done. I'm over. It's everywhere. There's the whole special rack in Trader Joe's of all the pumpkin spice products, and I just walk right by. I think I'm not a fan. Well, it wasn't. This is my pull it out. I'm over it. Some other there's been slight commentary, but in my opinion, I'm over it. I'm done. Yeah.

Speaker 2 44:05

Yeah, we talked about it when you brought in the pumpkin pie MMs.

Speaker 5 44:09

Oh, you had the pumpkin pie M's. You're right.

Speaker 2 44:11

We talked about the pumpkin haul experience.

Speaker 3 44:14

All of the pumpkin.

Speaker 2 44:15

And I'm I agree with you, Megan. And then it starts like a early September.

Speaker 5 44:19

Well, because Starbucks comes out with the pumpkin spice latte, and I'm not interested.

Speaker 3 44:23

Well, those espresso martinis I made for us last night, JJ, those were pumpkin.

Speaker 5 44:27

Oh, you made a pumpkin espresso martini.

Speaker 3 44:29

I thought it was a little off, but it was very well, it was a uh pumpkin espresso because of the espresso machine. Yeah. Sounds awful.

Speaker 4 44:38

Yeah. Like I said, it's a pull it out. I'm done.

Speaker 3 44:41

All right, birthday boy. Do you want the final word or the next word? You want the final word? Okay, I'll go then. You know what? I kind of like that your slip it in had to do like JJ. It was travel, but like JJ was a delight. Yeah. So mine's about JJ as well. And we didn't even plan this, even though it's his birthday. But like JJ uses this terminology that I every time he says it, I'm like, God, I still want that part of my vernacular. Do you know vernacular? Oh, is this the rolled R?

Speaker 2 45:10

No.

Speaker 3 45:10

No. Oh no.

Speaker 2 45:12

I do roll my R's.

Speaker 3 45:13

I can't roll an R. But it's JJ loves the term or uses the term fruit loop. Oh. And it was used in Houston when we were at that varsity bar. There was a cutie around. And I was trying to find him because I saw him when we came in, and JJ's like, should we do a fruit loop? And it's like around the bar. Yeah. Let's do a loop around the bar and look for him. Even yesterday, we got some pedicures, and then we were driving home, and there was um a person in their condo with their shades pulled open and he was cooking a pick. I didn't see any of this, but you you're like, there's a guy in cooking.

Speaker 2 45:56

You know what this condos with the big windows and you can see through. I love it.

Speaker 3 46:00

And I'm like, Do you want me to turn around? He goes, Maybe we should do a fruit loop.

Speaker 2 46:05

I love it. I don't think about it.

Speaker 3 46:06

I just I know, and I'm like, I am gonna, I told him, I'm like, JJ, you like this was three weeks ago or something. I said, you should use that as one of your slip it in. He's like, well, you seem to love it. Why don't you use it? I'm like, Yeah, I'll make a note. I'm taking a note. So that's my slip it in, Eric. Fruit loops. I love a fruit loop. And then okay, we've talked uh about bathrooms and different things. This here's the thing, you guys. I might pull it out are two stained toilets when you visit someone's home.

Speaker 2 46:41

Oh, okay. Not yours. I mean you can handle yourself.

Speaker 3 46:45

I will clean mine if I'm having guests, as should you.

Speaker 2 46:48

Yeah.

Speaker 3 46:49

As should everyone else. I can't, I am always it's like it's like me checking the back of a card. I will check a toilet. Like if you're gonna have a party and I come over.

Speaker 5 47:00

Well, what if it was a guest that was did it in that?

Speaker 3 47:02

That guest should clean it. But I I like uh this is like an intimate gathering where there's not 50 people, there's like four. And I'm like, well I agree. And when you and it looks like a Pollock painting. Oh, it is like a little Vango. Like, yeah, well, Pollock is an artist that's a splatter. Jackson Pollock. Jackson Pollock. It's like a splatter. I just like you don't see that, like, brush that before you have conversations.

Speaker 5 47:29

I haven't encountered that, honestly.

Speaker 3 47:32

Well, you said that about the ducks and jeeps. Now you're gonna that that's all you're gonna see.

Speaker 5 47:36

All right.

Speaker 3 47:37

I just question like I need listeners to kind of friend, yeah. Send us messages. Well, where like yeah, like you go into. I don't walk out and say, listen, you I like your artwork, not in the toilet. No, thank you.

Speaker 5 47:52

I wonder if it's a guest and they have no clue. Like it was clean at the start of the night.

Speaker 3 47:57

Listen, just just then get in there and monitor. You can tell, but you can tell you. A lot of times you can tell if it's fresh or two days old.

Speaker 5 48:04

And you're saying you think it was old.

Speaker 3 48:06

100.

Speaker 5 48:07

That is disgusting.

Speaker 2 48:08

Well, my slip it in.

Speaker 3 48:10

And you know who you are.

My slip well, my slip it in. Um, here with the weather in the Midwest being a little colder and chilly. Um, there is um gray sweatpants season. Oh, and I love being a gray sweatpants, not only on myself, but when you go to the gym again, they're wearing the gray sweatpants. Sometimes they're not wearing underwear. So you see that VPL all over. So that is a delight.

Speaker 5 48:40

Just like those football players.

Speaker 2 48:42

No comment.

Speaker 5 48:44

I notice it when I watch football.

Speaker 2 48:46

Oh, yeah. So gray sweatpants, Nason. I'm in, I'm fully in. I'm slipping that in.

Speaker 3 48:52

Wow. I hope your colleagues like that one.

Speaker 2 48:56

My pull it out is I don't know if you've probably encountered this, is like when you are when you have been well, you have when you have subscribed to text messages from a company and subscription and things like that. And they said, if you don't need this, put stop on the text message, but then they send you a message right after you put stop.

Speaker 3 49:17

But it's a confirmation of stop, no?

Speaker 2 49:18

Yeah, but I'm like, I don't want the message anymore. I told you already stop. So take that consideration and don't send me another confirmation of the stop.

Speaker 5 49:27

You don't like knowing that like they've taken note of your stop.

Speaker 2 49:31

It's kind of the same way that when you actually go to your email and unsub uh unsubscribe to that newsletter, and then they send you to another email saying, Do you really want to unsubscribe?

Speaker 3 49:43

That's bugged me. When I and then or they were like, What if we just give you every other week?

Speaker 2 49:48

No, no, bitch. I don't want to I said stop, and stop means stop. Don't text me.

Speaker 4 49:57

Well, no means no. Yeah, correct.

Speaker 2 49:59

I've heard it's a yes or no question. So it's no that you you just asked me if I want to stop the the text messages. I said yes, stop. Don't send me another text. It's a pull up.
