Speaker 4 0:33

I am JJ.

Speaker 3 0:35

Hi, guys.

Speaker 5 0:36

This is Matty. And I have a relative in the house. Yes. My sister, who has been jonesing to get on this podcast ever since our launch, has joined us today and is in the house. True slipper. True slipper. Stacey. Hi, sis.

Speaker 2 0:57

Hi, everyone. Thanks for inviting me.

Speaker 5 1:00

Welcome to the pod. Welcome.

Speaker 2 1:01

Thank you.

Speaker 5 1:02

Here's what I love. Here's what I love. Uh soon as she started listening, I had a built-in feedback mechanism.

Speaker 4 1:14

I mean she's fact-checking you.

Speaker 5 1:17

Yeah, kind of. Like kind, like a hundred percent. Like her internal Google is clipping at a fast pace. I would get um messages all very supportive, I would say. But also like there were moments where she's like, hmm, that's not how I remember the story. Or did you also know this happened? Yeah.

Speaker 4 1:42

So it's been really But there is two sides of the story.

Speaker 5 1:45

Right. Well, and I feel like every time I'm talking and recollecting a story, it is my truth.

Speaker 4 1:52

Yeah. But that's the way you lived it.

Speaker 5 1:54

That's yeah, that was my perspective. That's how I lived it. Those were through my eyes. And a fast forward years and years and years, uh a lot of times stories will evolve and change. And but there are like other people live it through different eyes. Would you agree, Stacey?

Speaker 2 2:11

Correct. And some of them were many years ago, and I maybe have different memories of them that many years ago.

Speaker 5 2:18

Well, and I think your truth is your truth, and my truth is my truth, and the truth is in the middle somewhere, probably.

Speaker 3 2:25

Yeah, and I also will say from my own personal experience with Matty, sometimes I'm not sure his memory is as sharp as he may think it is.

Speaker 2 2:33

Well, I would think his would be sharper than both. Oh, really?

Speaker 3 2:37

Well, Stacey, I thought we'd be on the same team. Blood is thicker than water. God, I was looking for a pee in my pod.

Stationery Talk Sparks A Twist

Speaker 5 2:48

Oh, that's cute, but no. Okay, so here's our lead story today. And this one was shocking to me when it happened. So we had an episode a few back where we were talking about how 2026 was gonna be the year of stationery and like a return to writing letters, and like people were a little fed up with AI and you know, tech in general, and we just needed to get back to stationery. And one, my sister is really good with crafty stationery stuff. She went through a period of time. And correct me if I'm wrong at any point. She will correct me if I'm wrong, jump, please jump in. Um, where she would create and make her own cards and head stamps and stuff very meaningful to get into in the mail. That also kind of dovetailed into letter writing and pen pals. And I had talked about a pen pal I had from Sweden. And then lo and behold, Stacey.

Speaker 4 3:52

She is we're here with us, the Sweden girl. The Swedish girl. No, no, bring her out, bring her out.

Speaker 5 3:58

No, but lo and behold, Stacey says to me, Do you remember my pen pal that I had from Costa Rica? That dot dot dot. The dot dot dot was the shocking piece of it, but I'm not gonna tell the story. I'm gonna have Stacey tell the story as if I'm hearing it for the first time all over again. Stacey, I tell us about your pen pal.

Speaker 2 4:26

Well, I was in high school, and and part of our Spanish class was the teacher gave everybody the opportunity to sign up and get a pen pal. So I signed up and I was assigned a pen pail for uh from Costa Rica. We could choose our country, and if we wanted a male or a female, so I chose a male from Costa Rica. I would have done the same.

Speaker 4 4:47

Yeah, I was gonna say like good choice, Jesus.

Speaker 3 4:51

Yeah, did you were you hoping for like this hot, sexy Latino man? I said, like no idea. This was many years ago. Okay, all right. I was like, oh, were you hoping it was gonna turn into this button? I don't think I was.

Speaker 2 5:05

I don't think I was, but um, so I got assigned this post.

Speaker 5 5:09

I was opening her mail.

Speaker 2 5:12

So we started writing letters back. I didn't have very many letters, and then from the letters that I still have that I kept, it looks like maybe it was a year to two years that we wrote. Um, and then we continued to write for a few months after I graduated from high school. And then after that, um, I don't know what happened, but there was no more letter writing.

Speaker 5 5:35

Oh, so you thought the relationship was over.

Speaker 3 5:38

Right.

Speaker 2 5:38

Well, and it was were these letters ever like flirty or um not but not really, but one of them had a heart drawn on it that he had written love Stacey in the heart. In the heart.

Speaker 3 5:53

Inside the heart. Well, so he was trying to get flirty with you. Possibly, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 4 5:58

So they'll connect you with somebody from another country that speaks English? Um, or were they trying to learn the language?

Speaker 2 6:06

All the letters were in um English. Okay. So I did not write to him in Spanish, and he did not write to me in Spanish, although it was set up through my Spanish class.

Speaker 5 6:16

Okay, okay. I see. Okay.

Speaker 2 6:18

So the letters just kinda went away. I don't know what happened there. If we drifted apart.

unknown 6:24

Yes.

Speaker 3 6:24

I mean, I think that's what happens with all the pen pals. You know, people stop writing and it just goes by the wayside.

Speaker 5 6:30

Right. Until it doesn't. Well dun dun dun. Okay.

Seven Years Later He Appears

Speaker 2 6:35

So I had forgot about this person entirely, went on with my life, went to college, got married. One day I was home with my um young son who was probably six or seven months old, and my parents called and said, Hey, there is this guy at our house who has a handful of letters that you wrote to him. He speaks no English.

Speaker 5 6:58

And he's which way, hold on, flag on the play. We just substantiated that he was writing you letters in English.

Speaker 3 7:06

English. So something was up. So that's interesting. And there was the Google Translate back then. No.

Speaker 5 7:12

Right?

Speaker 3 7:13

Well, maybe it was his English teacher or they had someone translating. I thought it was asking about the class.

Speaker 5 7:18

Have you also heard sometimes that someone can write it but not speak it, or speak it but can't write? Okay. Well, anyway, sorry. I go ahead. Go ahead. That's my sister needs to understand that we are opinionated girls. So we will, so like we will let it be. Yeah, let her, yeah, that's so there.

Speaker 2 7:36

I get the phone call. This gentleman is at their house, all these letters in his hand, so they know it's legit. They know it's my handwriting. Um, my parents' address is the return address on the envelopes. They're like, he has come here to meet you. What do you want to do?

Speaker 3 7:52

Oh my God.

Speaker 5 7:53

That is like just crazy. And what did you want to do?

Speaker 2 7:56

Years later.

Speaker 5 7:57

Did you start warming the car?

unknown 7:59

In the thing.

Speaker 2 8:00

It was summer. I didn't need to warm the car, but I did pack up my um young son, and I drove over to my parents' house. It's only a couple miles away. And I got there and I met him.

Speaker 4 8:11

And he's like, Is he is this son mine?

Speaker 2 8:15

Uh oh, I cannot.

Speaker 5 8:17

Not at all.

Speaker 4 8:19

Oh my god. I didn't know. Yeah. It's just like a telenovela moment.

Speaker 2 8:25

It is.

Speaker 3 8:26

It is.

Speaker 5 8:27

That heart through the mail got her impregnated. Sorry. Sorry, sorry. No.

Speaker 2 8:32

Okay. So my son and I went over there. My husband was at work, so he did not come with us at the time. So then we went into my parents' home. We sat around the table. We started talking, communicating with him. He had um this little machine that you could type in sentences and stuff, and then it would translate it from Spanish to English, and we it just got kept getting past our.

Speaker 4 8:55

That's probably what he used when he was writing the letters. Yeah, maybe.

Speaker 2 8:58

And he just copied.

Speaker 5 8:59

Where was I? Do you know where I was? You were probably in college.

Speaker 2 9:04

Oh I yeah, you I don't know where you were living. I think you I'm not sure.

unknown 9:09

All right.

Speaker 2 9:10

That's a long time ago.

Speaker 5 9:12

Okay. All right.

Speaker 2 9:13

So we probably chatted for three to four hours. Um, and then I had That's a long time to just for Google. Well, it takes a very long time when you're not just speaking to somebody and you have to type something in, pass this little gadget machine around back and forth.

Speaker 5 9:30

So was he in Costa Rica and then he was just out running errands and just pop by?

Speaker 2 9:35

The story that I remember is that he had uh he had an uncle in Florida, so he had gone from Costa Rica to Florida, and then he was headed to Canada to see possibly another relative, I don't remember exactly. So Florida to Michigan is on his way to Canada. Right to Canada. So he just showed up unannounced, hadn't heard from him in seven years.

Speaker 5 10:01

Seven years. And well, how many letters would you say you had written each other prior to his I mean drop off?

Speaker 2 10:09

Five or six at the most. I I don't have unless I didn't keep them. I don't know. I do have the letters, some of them. I don't know if that's all of them or not, but it looks like it went on for two close to two years.

Speaker 4 10:21

Oh wow. And all those years you never saw a picture of him?

Speaker 3 10:25

I never saw a picture of him at all. When he showed up at the house, did you think he was handsome? Um, I would say neutral.

Speaker 2 10:33

I mean, I wasn't like yeah.

Speaker 3 10:35

Was he tall or short?

Speaker 2 10:37

I would say average height, average build.

Speaker 3 10:41

Okay.

Speaker 5 10:41

Did you think that he sorry, you're in an interrogation room right now? Did you think that he I mean, what did you think his motivation was? Do you I mean it seems odd to me? I was just in shock. Does it seem odd to you?

Speaker 2 10:56

So I was very much in shock. It's like I haven't heard from this person in years because I'm just thinking in my head, right?

Speaker 5 11:03

Like, okay, I'm gonna visit my uncle in Florida. I have a pen pal from seven years ago. Yeah. May oh, let me dig that letter up and then let me find that address, and then on my way to Canada, I'll just swing by and say hi. I don't speak English.

Speaker 3 11:19

I got my little Yeah, something it's very suspicious, and it's also like where you were growing up, where your parents' house was, was Grand Rapids, which isn't near the Canadian border. Like he had to go out of his way.

Speaker 4 11:33

Or the Detroit airport.

Speaker 3 11:34

Yeah, he had to go out of his way. Well, he was driving a car.

Speaker 4 11:38

Oh, okay. So he was a bit of a couple of years.

Speaker 3 11:39

From Florida, yeah. So he would have gone straight up through Detroit into Canada. Like coming over to Grand Rapids makes no sense.

Speaker 2 11:46

I think at the time I was just so in shock, I didn't really think it through. But now that we're reliving this and talking about it, I'm starting to feel like putting the pieces together.

Speaker 5 11:59

Like what? Because I mean, you can't just say that and we walk away from that.

Speaker 2 12:06

Well, um my stepmom the next day said to me, I think he was coming here hoping to find you to be single and maybe find his way into the country.

Speaker 5 12:19

That could be so.

Speaker 2 12:22

Possibly. Um, but my husband did stop by after he got out of work and he met him for about 15 minutes.

Speaker 4 12:29

So you're like, we're going home.

Speaker 2 12:32

Pack it up. No, grab the seven-month-old. No, it didn't really happen like that, but um, I think I never did hear from him again when I before I went home that evening, he did ask me if he could continue to write to me and ask for my address, and I wasn't really comfortable providing my home address to him. So luckily, my parents had a post office box address and I provided that to him, but I never did hear from him again.

Speaker 5 12:58

When you say luckily, they had a P.O. box, and yet at the other token, on the other hand, not so lucky, did or did our dad not allow this man to sleep over?

Speaker 3 13:15

That is correct. Oh my god, that's so insane.

Speaker 2 13:20

That's his problem though. I was protecting myself at my home at a different address.

Speaker 5 13:25

So you packed up your son and went home. Dad offered this man a place to sleep overnight.

Speaker 3 13:36

Correct. Which is insane.

Speaker 5 13:39

It is a miracle that my dad and stepmom are alive.

Speaker 2 13:43

Yes.

Speaker 5 13:44

I mean, not anything about against that guy, but like a stranger comes into your home, he doesn't speak English, he says, I communicated with your daughter seven years ago, and you're like, Oh, yeah, let us turn down the bed for you.

Speaker 2 13:57

Exactly.

Speaker 5 13:58

It's crazy.

Speaker 2 13:59

Yes, I agree. My stepmom was very upset about it, and I side with her on this.

Speaker 5 14:05

Yeah, and did he make him breakfast in the morning? Dad loves a sunny side. Well, how do you like a little egg sandwich? He's ready for it. From what I recall from what I recall, sunny bacon. Oh my god. likely venison bacon. He probably never had that from Costa Rica.

Speaker 2 14:25

I'm 100% sure my my dad fixed dinner or breakfast and offered it to him. I do not know if he stayed. From what I recall, my dad just said he was a gentleman, he got up, he got dressed, and he left first thing in the morning. But chances are he had breakfast.

Speaker 4 14:39

I'm sure.

Speaker 5 14:39

And we're not here to put this guy's name out into the universe. But do you think you've tracked him? Have you Googled him? Have you found him today?

Speaker 2 14:48

Um perhaps. In the last couple of weeks, when I found out I was going to be talking about this, I did check out Facebook. I may have located him on Facebook. I have not reached out to him and I don't plan to. Well, we have a surprise.

Speaker 4 15:01

If you need a Spanish.

Speaker 1 15:05

Oh my god. We have a surprise.

Speaker 4 15:08

If you need a Spanish-speaking, we now have exactly with JJ in the mix.

Speaker 3 15:13

We can make all this chat.

Speaker 5 15:15

We told him to keep his translator in his car. Yeah.

Speaker 4 15:19

It's like Megan when we were at the garage sale. It's like, well, we have, we can welcome clients that speak Spanish. Yeah. We have JJ. She did.

Suspicion Grows And True Crime

Speaker 3 15:27

Exactly. If I even thought there was a hint of Spanish being spoken, I'm like, JJ, go deal with those people. Like I want to know part of it. Yes. But I feel like a critical part of the story has been left out that like I really believe to be true is that your stepmom said the next day that she thought he was into drug running. Correct. Because he had a long pinky fingernail. That's correct. Which is used to like kind of line up the coke.

Speaker 4 15:56

A long pinky finger uh nail can be just like do play a little guitar.

Speaker 3 16:02

No, I looked it up on Google and they say like Coco.

Speaker 4 16:06

You know the movie Coco? I'm aware.

Speaker 5 16:08

I feel like you both have strong points.

Speaker 3 16:11

They said Google AI says a pinky is probably not necessary or helpful for playing guitar and is gonna snag on the uh strings.

Speaker 5 16:21

It's what does it say? It's more valuable when doing a coke line.

Speaker 3 16:25

Yeah, or like I've seen like those people who take their finger and like dip it in.

Speaker 5 16:30

Like fund it.

Speaker 3 16:31

Yeah, exactly. And I think it makes sense. Like I think some shit was going down, and he had audience. Here we go, audience.

Speaker 5 16:44

So he had to come down through Grand Rapids.

Speaker 3 16:48

Yeah.

Speaker 4 16:49

I almost said I almost said our street name, and I'm like, oh very sketchy. The immediate clip that.

Speaker 3 16:56

Yeah, it's very sketched, this shenanigans with this long loss.

Speaker 2 17:00

My stepmom strongly believes that that was part of the problem, and I do believe that was a concern back. Well, even now, maybe, but between Costa Rica and Florida, there seemed to be some and then getting it up through Canada.

Speaker 3 17:15

Like it's a standard drug line. It's a it's a traditional drum line. Yes.

Speaker 5 17:21

Oh god, the more you know, the more you know. It goes right through our backyard. No, that was a side trip, which is close to your backyard as well, just so you know.

Speaker 3 17:34

It's right around the corner. Well, I was like fascinated with this story and like was Googling like pen pal murders, and there have been several like real life pen pal murders. Like one case as recent as 2017, a career criminal had pen pals. Well, 2017. I mean what are we 2026? Yeah, okay. Well, you think there's a pen pal murder every other month? I would think so. Well, take it off with Google. Well, you said it's recent as 2017, which you acted like it was a Tuesday. Well, I'm sorry, that's the most recent one that popped up.

Speaker 5 18:14

Okay, fine.

Speaker 3 18:14

And it was with a career criminal who gets released from prison, and then he went and stabbed his 50-year-old pen pal and her roommate in their home.

Speaker 5 18:25

First of all, you probably shouldn't be having a pen pal if you're 50. Well, if you are 50 and have a pen pal, they're likely incarcerated.

Speaker 3 18:32

We don't know if it was a Stacey situation and they hadn't corresponded in 20 years. Well, I'm just saying her situation, she didn't have a pen pal. He's long gone for eight years and showed up out of nowhere. Yeah.

Speaker 1 18:44

Yeah.

Speaker 3 18:44

On his drug run.

Speaker 5 18:48

Well, all right. Well, I do think the pen pal murders is a documentary in the waiting. And if you guys want to, if anyone needs to contact my sister for a side interview, you can go through slipitinpodcast.com.

Speaker 4 19:03

Yeah, 100%.

Speaker 5 19:05

She lived it, she was this close to a pen pal murder.

Speaker 3 19:08

Well, you think our pair close were that exactly. Like you almost home. Yeah, with no half your family gone in one night.

Speaker 1 19:17

Okay.

Speaker 3 19:18

Well, true story.

Sourdough Starter Becomes A Lifestyle

Speaker 5 19:19

Slip through that one. All right. Okay. What else do we want to talk about? Let's talk about sourdough. Yes? Oh, sure. Okay. Again, it's a reflection back on previous episodes.

Speaker 1 19:33

Yep.

Speaker 5 19:33

Lexie of Lexie's Loaves.

Speaker 1 19:36

Yeah.

Speaker 5 19:37

Good friend of mine from work. She introduced me to the art of sourdough, and I went down this path in this journey. And then uh it was the journey.

Speaker 4 19:48

That's it.

Speaker 5 19:49

It was a journey. And a great journey, and I loved it. When I went home for some sort of event, I asked Stacy if she wanted me to bring some starter, which I got from the Secret Bakery. Shout out to Secret Bakery. Non-Spom, big fan. But uh I brought that over to her. She went through the process. I found out just last week. True story. True story. That since then, and we're talking what, Stacey? Three months?

Speaker 2 20:20

No, it's been longer than that. It was probably six, seven months. Yeah. Six, seven months. We did the episode.

Speaker 4 20:27

Wow.

Speaker 5 20:28

Okay. Uh she told me she's like, that's all we eat now is sourdough bread.

Speaker 4 20:34

The bread that you made, yes, she's still making it some six months ago.

Speaker 5 20:39

No, she's been making it. So she has been making, and they've stopped buying Meyer bread, and it's all sourdough, and she hasn't stopped. And oh, I hear a rustle. I'm like, I'm trying to figure it out what's going on. Go ahead. Do you have a reveal?

Speaker 2 20:56

Yes, I brought some sourdough bread for each of you. Oh my god. Since the podcast when Lexi was on there, I had been thinking about doing sourdough, sourdough. And so then, like Matty said, Matty says he brought me some starter. I got started. I've been making bread ever since. So I brought you guys some sourdough bread for each of you. Oh my gosh. I love it.

Speaker 4 21:20

Lexies Loaves what's out.

Speaker 2 21:23

I've also made some wild sourdough gloves. This is made from sourdough starter discard. Yes, I love it. I started making those this week. So I brought these along for each of you. Oh, the bad exciting too.

Speaker 5 21:40

JJ, didn't you say earlier tonight when Christmas rolls around? Because Stacy brought JJ some starter and he goes, I might try to make my journey. Yeah. He's like, I might try to make sourdough cookies. And lo and behold, yeah.

Speaker 4 21:55

I'm gonna start my journey next week. And yeah, this is it. Wow. Thank you so much.

Speaker 3 22:01

That's amazing. Thank you. And it's so great. We love to hear that the podcast is like inspiring people to change.

Speaker 5 22:08

Changing lives.

Speaker 3 22:10

Exactly. Yes.

Speaker 2 22:11

My husband said it is the best thing.

Speaker 3 22:13

It really changes lives. Bread. That is amazing. But I will say since we are so funny. I will say that the Secret Bakery is now. I just saw on Instagram, they're doing bread making classes. So they are. You can go.

Speaker 4 22:35

I would do that.

Speaker 3 22:36

And the chef of Secret Bakery is on a James Beard Award winner. Yeah. So I mean, amazing. Two blocks from me. Yeah. Amazing one that we have such an amazing starter to work from, but two, that you could go take a class to like get your special sourdough and bread making tips and you should stop by if you're doing a drug run from Florida to Canada.

Speaker 5 22:58

It's right on your way. Yes. One on your way.

Speaker 4 23:02

Pick up right on your alley. It's a secret bacon.

Speaker 5 23:04

It is. Oh, it's right up your alley if you're trying to like move under the darkness of cover, cover of darkness, I think. 100%. Yeah.

Speaker 2 23:13

I would love to take a class. I mean, I've learned from Lexi and I've done a lot of love.

Speaker 4 23:18

Lexi, shut out.

Speaker 2 23:19

Yes, I that was my first class. Listening to her. Yeah.

Speaker 5 23:23

Oh, yeah, because I sent her Lexi videoed stuff for me and I shared it with her.

Speaker 2 23:29

So and then a lot of YouTubing, but I would like to still attend a class.

Speaker 5 23:35

Nice. Well, you could come down for this class. I don't know when it they're right now, they're only open Wednesdays and Saturdays. Yeah. I think this class is gonna happen.

Speaker 3 23:45

I I don't know. I think you you'll have to stop in and ask. It might be happened already. I know I think it was Oh, it's a one and done. Well, initially, but I don't know what long term.

Speaker 5 23:56

So talk to me a little bit about what is a week in the life of a sourdough baker. Are you feed because we have different yeah? Do you feel like it is a like almost like a child that you're taking care of? Like you're feeding it, you're watching it, you're babysitting it.

Speaker 2 24:16

It was felt like that in the beginning, like, wow, this is a lot of work.

Speaker 5 24:20

Okay.

Speaker 2 24:20

Um, but I have figured some things out as you go, and I'm sure there's more for me to learn and and figure out. But I was baking weekly, um, making two loaves at a time. And then I was like, okay, this is you know, wear me out.

Speaker 5 24:36

I'm not that's also a lot of bread to eat. Yeah.

Speaker 2 24:39

Well, you can freeze it. So I freeze it.

Speaker 4 24:41

So I was it were you did you find that you were getting better at it as you were going through?

Speaker 2 24:46

Yes, I messed with one of the recipes a little bit because a friend recommended adding some honey to my recipe. And uh it did not go well. It was my loaves of bread that week turned out more like a doorstop. Oh, wow. And my husband said to her. I do, I have not told her that. Oh, wow. Um said, Why on earth would you mess with your recipe? It was perfection to start with. Oh, wow. Wow.

Speaker 3 25:15

That's amazing.

Speaker 2 25:16

So we are back to the original recipe without adding honey.

Speaker 5 25:20

So now I eat the honey with the the grass-fed butter and honey on my wait, grass-fed butter, you said yes, grass that sounds like an invitation to you, Megan, to comment on butter.

Speaker 3 25:33

Yeah, well, I missed it. Is it Carrie Gold? Yes, it is. Yeah, see.

Speaker 2 25:36

Oh, I already know from Costco. Yep. Oh, that's a good butter.

Speaker 5 25:40

Oh, wow.

Speaker 2 25:42

And then raw and unfiltered honey.

Speaker 4 25:45

We like it raw.

Speaker 2 25:46

Is it a local honey? Yes, yes.

Speaker 5 25:48

Dad uh is a beekeeper. Yeah.

Speaker 3 25:51

Oh, I didn't know that far from him either. Yep, yep.

Speaker 5 25:54

He's got every year I we get a little honey.

Speaker 3 25:57

Some of his honey, yep. Does he sell it? No. So I could just swing by and bring mine.

Speaker 2 26:09

Maybe now that I know you're a honey lover, I could just swing by and drop my last name, my maiden name. Yeah, welcome. Because he did know me from years ago. I'm sure he's seen me in probably 40 plus years, but oh yeah.

Bonsai Is An Art Not A Tree

Speaker 5 26:25

Um, okay. Um I'm looking at my list. Um, we also know you to be a lover of gardening and plants. And I just learned something the other week about I'm gonna say bonsai because that's what I know it to be. Yeah, but we are an educational pod. And so we are here to educate our listeners that you too probably have been saying bonsai your whole life and buying these little bonsai trees and thinking, oh, how cute am I in America getting a little bonsai? Yeah, and it's not everything you thought it was. So we are cracking the code on bonsai. Would you like to elaborate?

Speaker 2 27:10

Sure. I she's ready for it. She's right. I am definitely always interested in plants of any type, house plants, outdoor plants. So a couple weeks ago, I attended the local library for a love.

Speaker 5 27:23

Hold on. Sorry to cut you off, sis.

Speaker 2 27:26

I know you are a fan of local libraries.

Speaker 5 27:29

Yes, so plug to the local library. Love it. I'm glad that I didn't know this was a part of the narrative, but yes.

Speaker 2 27:37

The local library was presenting a free class, so I of course had to go and attend because I've always wanted one of these bonsai trees. So first thing I learned in the class is the instructor said it is not bonsai. Most of us call it that, but it is actually bonsai.

Speaker 3 27:57

Oh my god. Interesting.

Speaker 5 27:59

What that has changed.

Speaker 3 28:01

I feel like in Karate Kid they said bonsai.

Speaker 4 28:03

Well, it was an American movie.

Speaker 3 28:05

Oh, true story.

Speaker 5 28:10

Okay. Also, is it true that it's not really a noun? It's an adjective. No, a verb.

Speaker 4 28:19

It's an art, right?

Speaker 5 28:20

It's a is the art of the bonsai is an adjection. Bonsai.

Speaker 2 28:25

Bonsai is not really the plant itself.

Speaker 5 28:28

Right, which would be a noun.

Speaker 2 28:29

Right.

Speaker 5 28:29

Correct?

Speaker 3 28:30

Which I always thought it was. I thought it was a special type of little tree that people pruned and this is what the bonsai garden.

Speaker 5 28:38

Well, this is what the government has fed us. The government? I don't think the government fed us. Well, I mean, that's how we grew up.

Speaker 3 28:48

It's more Hollywood.

Speaker 5 28:50

Oh, Hollywood. Yeah. Hollywood's pushing the bonsai narrative. Karate kid. Right. Wax on, wax off. Okay. Sorry. Sorry. This is how we roll.

Speaker 2 29:02

Bonsai is not the plant. Bonsai is not the plant itself. It's the art of how you prune and keep the plant and shape it. So it's an art. I call it man's computer. And there's just oh my god, I can't do that. JJ, that's a whole other thing.

Speaker 3 29:22

But you do keep it tight and you keep it angular. Exactly.

Speaker 5 29:26

Here's what shocked me. She's texting me this, and then she says to me, I'm gonna go out probably this spring to dad's property and dig up some bonsai. I'm like, how? I don't think this is how can this be? Did the did the Costa Rican plant some out there than age? Where did these come from?

Speaker 4 29:46

Oh bons sites are Japanese though.

Speaker 5 29:48

Nah, yeah, no. Yes. Well Costa Rican. You would think if you were to say, was a bonsai more US or Costa Rican, what would you pick?

Speaker 3 29:58

U.S.

Speaker 4 29:59

U.S. Me too, yes. JJ and I are on the same page here.

Speaker 5 30:05

Anywho, you tell tell the listeners why we could find a bonsai uh in Michigan uh in the woods.

Speaker 2 30:16

Um because it's not a specific type of tree. I mean, pines are very much what you see a lot of times, and when you buy them in a nursery or a store, it's some sort of a pine tree. A pine tree is a bond is is in the bond.

Speaker 4 30:32

Can be created as a bonsai. That's what you see that they're gonna be. You gotta change your mindset.

Speaker 2 30:37

But really, it's just a tiny little tree that you buy from a garden center, or like I'm going to go out in nature and find them, because there are maples that can be this is mind-blowing. Created into a bonsai tree by trimming it. So basically, you're taking a very small tree, a seedling type thing, letting it grow, you're pruning it, you're pruning its roots, you're keeping it in a small container.

Speaker 4 31:03

Let it grow, let it prune, and trim those bushes. That creates a bonsai. That's what I learned. Right.

Speaker 5 31:12

You I mean, you might have been caring for his bonsai for quite some time now.

Speaker 3 31:18

Well, the more you're trim, the bigger it looks.

Speaker 4 31:23

But we want to keep it small because it's a bonsai.

Speaker 3 31:26

Oh, well. Right.

Speaker 2 31:27

So it's taking like a tree that's back to business. It's like taking a tree that could grow very large, but you're keeping it miniature in a small container by can pruning its branches and pruning its roots.

Speaker 5 31:39

Okay.

Speaker 2 31:40

And it's an art, like not a science. Right. Well, it's like an art form, and there's art rules, and these trees can live hundreds of years old. I've seen one that was over a thousand years old.

Speaker 5 31:54

I got a call the other day from your sourdough bread saying I'm really worried about her new interest in bonsai. Who is bonsai? So who like what is how are you gonna balance the two?

Speaker 2 32:07

Well, right now I don't have a bonsai, so electrically. I'm going to have to prioritize the sourdough bread.

Speaker 5 32:21

Over the bonsai.

unknown 32:22

Yes.

Speaker 5 32:22

But there's also bonsai. Yes. I'm you know what? I'm learning.

Speaker 2 32:27

But there's also another competitor in there that probably will even outweigh the bonsai. So what's that? Would you care to elaborate? No, now I've mine peaked up. Yeah. We'll get into that later in the conversation. Oh wow, girls picking up some.

Speaker 5 32:45

Okay. Well, we would call that a tease. Yeah, I love that. All right. Well, okay, so those are, I think, the topics we had uh on our agenda to bring back that you have brought forth as a result of past episodes. Is there anything you would like to? I mean, like, here's your chance, sis. Like, call me out. Anything you want to do? Oh my god, yes.

Speaker 4 33:06

This is what we've been waiting for.

Speaker 5 33:08

I mean, I'm an open book.

Speaker 2 33:10

Yeah, I don't want to disappoint, but I'd like to be invited back again. So I'm not going to share the family seat day. Oh, wow.

Speaker 3 33:21

Well, I do appreciate that. Well, it sounds like they're ready to be spilled in a secondary episode. So I don't know if you should be that happy.

Speaker 4 33:30

I'm happy about that.

Speaker 5 33:33

Um, so I would say I did have a moment with my sister. Can I? Do you have you don't have anything?

Speaker 2 33:40

You go right ahead.

unknown 33:41

Okay.

The 911 Prank And SWAT Night

Speaker 5 33:43

Second child. Um, I you know, listeners, I am a huge true crime fan. I think I had the closest moment to a true crime moment with my sister one night at the house. Megan, you were involved.

Speaker 3 34:02

Oh, great.

Speaker 5 34:03

I probably you hadn't come into our life yet, but I don't it could it have been a Tuesday or a Wednesday? It was a school night. Okay. And we I had some guests over. Me, Stacy was over, but I had a friend. She lived there. She lived there.

Speaker 2 34:20

We were teenagers, I lived there. Oh, okay.

Speaker 5 34:23

Well, correct. So she was there in her room. Um, everyone left, and then I went to bed, she was in her bed. The next thing I know, our house is it's a ranch, and it was surrounded by a SWAT team.

Speaker 3 34:44

Oh my god. They had there. I didn't know, but I heard about it the next day.

Speaker 5 34:53

My sister's out of the house on her cell phone, or no, uh cordless tilling cordless dating. Uh and the SWAT team was like, We've got a she's on our she's on the cell phone. Everything appears to be okay. They were all surrounded around the house.

Speaker 2 35:15

Came out of the garage with guns drawn, they have to yes, and I was like, What have you done, Stacey?

Speaker 5 35:27

I thought, Jesus. What happened? Tell me. You never can you never know what your family members are capable of.

Speaker 2 35:34

And I'm like, no, what did you do? Exactly. Exactly. That's more likely to be uh calmer, always well behaved.

Speaker 5 35:46

Maybe you were a bit more adventuresome. One of my friends had thought it would be funny on her departure out of the house to go home to just pick up.

Speaker 2 36:01

You said it was dad's we had a separate work line because our dad worked from home, so he had his own phone line that we did not answer the phone calls for. So your friend went to that phone, dialed 911, hung up, and left our house.

Speaker 5 36:16

So the hang up, they didn't know what was going on, the callbacks we didn't answer because it was a work phone. SWAT team because of that.

Speaker 3 36:24

They just showed up. Yeah. Oh my well, and let me make the record clear. I was not the friend that called it. No, you were not. It had nothing to do with me. I didn't know about it till the next day. Matty came to school telling the story, and this other friend was laughing and confessed to being the 911 caller.

Speaker 5 36:42

Yeah, and we were gonna protect that person's name. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 36:47

We but it was the police just said, look, she's talking on a cordless phone, and occasionally cordless phones will do that kind of thing, randomly call 911 or whatever. So they just said, everything's fine here. We're out of here.

Speaker 3 37:01

Which I find sketch. I had that these cordless self or they weren't self-cordless phones, were just randomly calling 911. Because I never had the SWAT team at my house. Well, and I had a cordless phone that I was on quite a bit.

Speaker 5 37:16

Well, it's one of the most of America.

Speaker 2 37:19

Police acted like it was no well, and they didn't ask me like what's your phone number? Because if I would have said, Well, this is my phone number, I would have given them my home number. And they're like, Well, that's not the number we got a call from.

Speaker 1 37:32

Right.

Speaker 2 37:32

Yeah. And then we might have figured it out. We did not figure it out. The police just like, okay, these two are fine. There's nothing going on. We're out of here. We would have never figured it out until the next day when his friends confessed.

Speaker 5 37:45

She thought it was hilarious. I mean, in retrospect, it's pod content, but it is. I will say also, I think it could be a pivotal moment in my life in which I started to veer towards true crime. I mean, daily, maybe, maybe.

Speaker 3 38:00

What's interesting is that people are doing this as pranks nowadays on people. And when you get caught, like it's actually a major fine in like crime to call 911 or other people and play these games. Yeah, exactly. So who little did we know back then, like it was the beginning of a crime spree.

Cracklin Oat Bran And Cereal Takes

Speaker 5 38:22

We know who you are. Okay. All right, let's move on to, and just lo and behold, I feel like I've done a lot of talking tonight, but it's my night to do a little bit. Yeah.

Speaker 3 38:36

Well, he's obsessed with something.

Speaker 5 38:40

Oh, I am obsessed. Okay. And this also may date me because it sounds like I am very old when I say I love me some crackling old brand. Okay. Okay. JJ, you're really good at this. Can we all have so crunchy? So much oat bran.

Speaker 4 39:08

I am just crackling up.

Speaker 5 39:15

Okay. If you have not bought cro crackling oat bran because you thought you were too young for it, or it just didn't wasn't marketed correctly to you, you are missing out. I think it's amazing.

Speaker 4 39:33

You want to say you eat it raw or you with milk?

Speaker 5 39:35

You correct. You'll soak it. Both of these are correct. You can do both. It is a delicious snack. We just ate it without milk. I don't I drink almond milk. It's good with any milk. Oatmeal for me. Oatmeal. Well then, what a pairing. Yeah.

Speaker 3 39:52

I've always liked it, but I haven't, I don't really eaten cereal in years. And randomly, the doctor just brought home a box of crackling oatmeal.

Speaker 5 40:01

Shut up. No way. 100% true. Listeners are not going to believe that.

Speaker 3 40:05

It's so true. And then immediately I saw it. I'm like, oh, crackling opran. I love it. And I'm like, I haven't had this in years. And so I immediately opened up. He's like, why are you opening it? It's gonna go bad. I'm like, well, the whole point is you bought it to eat it. Like I'm having a little bit of a big thing. Why are you opening it?

Speaker 5 40:20

It's gonna go bad. Because he wanted to put it in the bunker for that.

Speaker 3 40:25

So, and then now you had it today. And I was like, Oh, this cracklinob brand is like having a resurgence. Yeah.

Speaker 5 40:32

Well, I think we might have talked about this in the past, but when COVID hit and JJ and I were living in this house, I don't know.

Speaker 4 40:39

Like JJ wasn't a big cereal eater, but I we started still not, but it's yeah, go for it.

Speaker 5 40:46

Started, I'm like, well, what let's try this cereal. I would say four months into COVID, we were ordering 10 boxes of cereal every two weeks.

Speaker 4 40:56

And it was specifically brand.

Speaker 3 40:59

Oh, really? I hate raisin brands.

Speaker 4 41:03

No raisin brand crunch.

Speaker 3 41:05

Oh, okay. I've never had that because I hate raisin brand.

Speaker 5 41:08

Can we do can I put you guys on the spot real quick? No. What is your I won't, I won't say top three. What is your what is one of your favorite cereals? Just because I yeah, I didn't give you any time to think about it.

Speaker 4 41:23

No. I would say honey nut cereal. Honey nut cereals.

Speaker 3 41:28

Uh corn pops.

Speaker 4 41:30

Oh I forgot about corn pops.

Speaker 5 41:33

And they're good to eat dry. Every time someone says a new one, you're like, oh fuck, honey called. I didn't want to go first. Lucky charms. That's yours. Frosted flakes. I mean, I am a cereal, I can't keep it in house. Yeah, sorry, sorry, sorry.

Speaker 2 41:47

I'm gonna go with raisin brand, but it has to be the Meijer brand because it actually has more raisins in it than listen, sis.

Speaker 5 41:54

We have listeners from around the globe. They're not all familiar with Meijer.

Speaker 4 41:59

Okay, well, well, they have to come to Michigan on their way to Canada. Correct.

Speaker 5 42:03

That's what I was gonna say. Can we plug the drug ride? And you can pick up your raisin brand and your local Meijer Thrifty Acres.

Speaker 4 42:12

And this is yours, your favorite then?

Speaker 5 42:15

No, probably not my favorite, but it's the one I like to bring most attention to because a lot of cereals have like the honeycombs, the lucky charms, all those the frosted flakes, they get all the attention. Crackling oat brand, I think people think of it as like your grandma's cereal. No, I put this in our work cereal bracket, like a March Madness, and I took so much flack for it. People are like, How old are you? Really? A hundred percent.

Speaker 2 42:47

Wow.

Speaker 4 42:48

Asked your crackling.

Speaker 2 42:50

But I feel like this cereal is also good for a snack because Raisin Brand's not the best for a snack. It's just your cereal. So this one kind of step up like yeah. Have you had it before tonight? No.

Speaker 5 43:06

What do you think when you put it on your taste buds?

Speaker 2 43:08

I like it. It tastes to me almost like a bit of a granola bar. Yeah, yeah. And maybe the other thing that popped in my mind was cinnamon toast scrunch.

Speaker 5 43:15

Oh yeah. That's a good thing. You got that from this. Yeah.

Speaker 2 43:19

Is there cinnamon?

Speaker 5 43:19

That's weird because I hate cinnamon toast scrunch. So but I can see what you're I can see kind of see the it has a hint of the cinnamon taste.

Speaker 2 43:31

It does have a cinnamon hint. Yeah, there's a hint of the colour.

Speaker 5 43:33

Which I do like cinnamon, but like I don't like the texture of the no, this is a much better texture. Right. Cinnamon team script.

Speaker 4 43:41

So from bringing that nostalgia, maybe.

Speaker 5 43:44

I mean, that's a first cereal uh product we've brought. Yeah. It's also really good for your skin.

Waymo Flowers And Modern Favorites

Speaker 3 43:51

Oh god. You're too much. With that, I think it's time for some slip it ins and pull it out. And I'm gonna start. With my slip it in. And it is something I am so excited about. Is I was driving down the freeway the other day, and lo and behold, what was next to me? But a Waymo. No, that's constant, and that's a pull it out.

Speaker 5 44:16

Potholes.

Speaker 3 44:17

Oh, it was a Waymo.

Speaker 5 44:18

Oh, and it's a new Waymo.

Speaker 3 44:21

It's not the typical white jaguars that we see around in the other cities. This was like a blue kind of looking little van. And there was someone driving it, but I'm super excited because they have people driving them first in their new cities. And so that's smart. It's them like getting the lay of the land, making sure the car is trained on all our roads. But it just means pretty soon Waymo should be open and operating in Detroit. We're on the list for 2026. So the fact that they're already around the city. It is like making me start.

Speaker 5 45:00

I had a listener send me photos because they saw one and they said, send this to your friend Megan. Oh, really? Yeah.

Speaker 3 45:07

Well, where are these pictures? I didn't get them.

Speaker 5 45:09

They are also vans.

Speaker 3 45:10

Uh yeah. So they saw them around Detroit. Oh. On 696. Okay. I saw this on 275. Well, so they're on more than one expressway. I love it. Love it, love it. So I cannot wait.

Speaker 5 45:24

So also you've been wanting to travel the globe, like any city, to experience this. No, it's not. I almost I feel like when they're ready, we have to do this. The three of us have to get in this Waymo.

Speaker 3 45:37

Oh, I love it.

Speaker 5 45:38

So don't like cheat on us and like get in a Waymo.

Speaker 3 45:42

Well, I've tried the couple different places and then I didn't. It hasn't come different ways. Yeah. So I went to Denver. Denver's still in the trial period just like us. So yeah. Well, with that, I'm gonna go to my pull it out, and it is Costco flowers. Oh I have to say you love them, but they don't last. You can buy a rose bush from uh roses from Costco, roses from Trader Joe's. The Trader Joe's roses last far longer. A bouquet from Costco, a bouquet from Trader Joe's, the Trader Joe's bouquet lasts longer. So it's like constantly an issue. So I like the Costco flowers, but I wish they would last more than a couple of days.

Speaker 5 46:32

Okay. Why do you keep buying them?

Speaker 3 46:35

The doctor buys them usually, and then I usually buy them at Trader Joe's, so that's why we have the same comparison.

Speaker 5 46:42

To this day, I still cannot understand why Trader Joe's has such great prices.

Speaker 3 46:52

It's because they are like mine in bulk and have great deals. So that's my pull it out. Matty, JJ, Stacy, let's hear your slip it ins and pull it outs.

Speaker 4 47:10

Let's do Stacy. What is your slip it in and pull out?

Speaker 2 47:13

Um, as I was saying earlier, uh, the flowers and such. Um my slip it in is Dahlia Flowers. Oh I brought a tuber today. This is what the Oh wow, yeah. Well, well, I think there's something to be said about that.

Speaker 1 47:31

Now there's some competition.

Speaker 3 47:33

Are they fat? They come in all sizes.

Speaker 4 47:41

Oh my god. Oh god.

Speaker 2 47:45

So that is my slip it in. There's 60,000 varieties.

Speaker 5 47:49

Daisy has 60,000 of them in her backyard. They are beautiful and gorgeous.

Speaker 2 47:54

20,000.

Speaker 5 47:55

Again, I exagge a little bit, but it I mean, amazing. You have a green thumb.

Speaker 4 48:02

Yeah. And she tried us to get us in that journey.

Speaker 5 48:05

It was a nightmare for me.

Speaker 4 48:06

We tried it. You did.

Speaker 5 48:08

You had some good success.

Speaker 4 48:10

First time around, it was a better success than the second time around.

Speaker 5 48:13

They're temperamental.

Speaker 4 48:14

Yeah, they are. They made a lot of process for one flower.

Speaker 5 48:19

Yeah. I mean, more so than the starter.

Speaker 2 48:21

And you well, you mentioned like taking care of a child. These are a year-round job. Yeah, and that's my problem. And children aren't. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. These rocks, the sourdough is not. This is yes, very much so.

Speaker 3 48:35

Okay. Raising a child. Yeah. The um, I love Talias. I think they're gorgeous. But when I heard like you plant them and you have to dig them back out, I'm like, nope, I'm out. They I don't know.

Speaker 5 48:45

You don't have to.

Speaker 3 48:46

Yeah, but then you got to keep buying them and planting them every year. The my whole point is I like to buy perennials so they keep coming up, coming up, and I don't have to mess with them.

Speaker 5 48:55

Well, I would say that this is more of a hobby as well, unless of like an aesthetic like curb appeal thing that you're going for, maybe, or just beauty in general.

Speaker 2 49:06

Like that that is my pull it out, is the dahlias as well, because we love a double pool. Living in Michigan, you do have to dig them out of the ground. They're like a potato. If they freeze, you lose them. So you either dig them up, yeah, or you replace them all. And I have 120 varieties. See? Very expensive. I told you replace.

Speaker 4 49:30

Not 6,000. That's crazy.

Speaker 5 49:32

You multiply that.

Speaker 3 49:35

Do you ever struggle to find them? That's why I always wonder. Like when the plants are dead. Yeah, like how do you know where to dig?

Speaker 2 49:42

Well, you cut the stock off and you leave it like 12 inches above ground.

Speaker 3 49:46

So you know exactly where to dig.

Speaker 4 49:49

If you need a tip on regards to Dahlia's, she is she will she's she aren't you a judge?

Speaker 2 49:55

I got her, yes, but I just became a judge. You did candidate judge. I'll be judging a Canada candidate.

Speaker 1 50:02

Oh, I'm like, wow.

Speaker 3 50:04

She's got a drug run.

Speaker 5 50:06

Wow. I'm like, yeah. You can't judge in the Americas? No. It all ties back to Canada.

Speaker 2 50:16

I will be judging at the National Dahlia Show in Grand Rapids the last weekend of August. Oh wow, that's amazing. Congratulations. No ticket necessary. It's a free to attend. Oh wow. Well, there you go, slipper. Let me ask you this. Oh.

Speaker 3 50:35

Do you have a black dahlia?

Speaker 1 50:37

Yeah.

Speaker 2 50:38

There is no true black dahlia, but satin.

Speaker 4 50:43

Yeah, I had dark.

Speaker 2 50:44

There's three or four that are very dark that are almost black, but there's not a true black.

Speaker 4 50:48

Didn't you give me one that was? That's my sweet spot. That's my sweet spot.

Speaker 3 50:52

Wow.

Speaker 4 50:53

She gave me one that it was almost very black. It was beautiful.

Speaker 3 50:56

Well, speaking of true crime, one of the longest unsolved cases.

Speaker 5 51:00

We know this we know the black dahlia. There's a movie out there too. Yes. We know. All right, fine.

Speaker 4 51:07

My time for a slip it in and a pull out. She already did a double pull.

Speaker 5 51:12

Oh, I thought you already did yours.

Speaker 4 51:13

No, I did not.

Speaker 5 51:14

Oh, I mean I thought you had.

Speaker 4 51:16

No, I didn't.

Speaker 5 51:16

All right.

Speaker 4 51:17

My slip it in is actually a gift that Matty gave me.

Speaker 5 51:20

Oh.

Speaker 4 51:20

That I I knew that I was gonna love it, but I really, really love it. And it's the um Bluetooth. I'm trying to find the word. Wow. The Bluetooth um plugs. Bluetooth plugs for my lights. Smartplugs. Smart plugs.

Speaker 5 51:43

The fact that Smart was escaping you is ironic.

Speaker 4 51:48

Smartplugs. He gave me smart plugs for my lights, and now I just like Alexa, turn on my couch light. Oh, Alexa, turn on my couch light. And it's so she's trying to turn my shit.

Speaker 3 52:00

All the lights are coming out.

Speaker 4 52:01

And that is exactly why I love it.

Speaker 5 52:04

I told Alexa not to let JJ's voice allow me to control my devices.

Speaker 4 52:09

She's not a little bit more. I love it.

Speaker 3 52:12

It's like the new clapper.

Speaker 4 52:15

It is the new clapper. It is the new clapper.

Speaker 3 52:17

Although I do, I did kind of love being in someone's house and just clapping away to see what would happen.

Speaker 4 52:23

I think I remember you clapping around. She would clap.

Speaker 5 52:29

She'd randomly clap in someone's house to see if the clapper would even start.

Speaker 4 52:33

Now that you're saying that, I'm like, I can't remember, especially if she does her own like when she's winning.

Speaker 5 52:40

But she has to do it twice for the clapper.

OnlyFans Paywalls And Tootsie Roll Lore

Speaker 4 52:44

Oh, that is my oh slip it in. My pull out. That's a good slip. Somebody told me that now OnlyFans, when you actually are in um buying for a membership and OnlyFans, $10, $15, $9, $5. Now they have a pay-per-view option. So you're paying the membership of whatever they're asking you for, and you're not getting anything from the membership. You are you have to pay additionally to in order to get the videos that you want to, you know, watch from that artist celebrity.

Speaker 3 53:25

So you're a big OnlyFans viewer, apparently.

Speaker 4 53:28

No, but I was listening to Andy and John, and John, well, there is a cast member from Vander Pump Rules.

Speaker 3 53:38

Yes, I know, the two cousins.

Speaker 4 53:39

Yes. So he said, I tried to enroll on it, and when he tried to enroll, it was $10 membership, but he couldn't even see anything at all. He had to pay pay per view $15 each video on top of the membership.

Speaker 5 53:57

That's ridiculous.

Speaker 4 53:58

That is a pull out.

Speaker 5 53:59

Nobody needs this.

Speaker 3 54:00

I guess I didn't know that it worked any differently. I thought you paid a membership that got you certain content, but then when you went to like certain people's pages to see their specific content, you always had to pay extra.

Speaker 4 54:14

No. No. Well, not at all. It's a pull-out.

Speaker 3 54:16

Well, Denise Richards is making like a million a day a month or something crazy.

Speaker 4 54:21

That is insane. It's a pull out.

Speaker 5 54:23

I know. I feel like my feet are a gold mine.

Speaker 3 54:27

I just have we could do a slip it in podcast and just do feet on only my feet.

Speaker 5 54:35

Well, I could make a lot of money on my feet.

Speaker 3 54:38

I'll put them my feet out there. I don't know if they're really attractive or not, but I'm there's a foot for everyone. That's kind of what I feel like. Who cares? Like put it out. Somebody's gonna want it. Okay. I agree. I agree. And I'm fine.

Speaker 4 54:51

Suck a toe or two.

Speaker 3 54:53

Well, no socks allowed on my toes.

Speaker 5 54:55

Do you want to come back, Stacey, for the foot episode? No, thank you.

unknown 54:58

Okay.

Speaker 5 54:59

I'm just sitting here talking about it. Matty, do you have any? I do. I have a slip it in. It's called Tootsie Rolls. Oh. That's a slip for you.

Speaker 4 55:07

He loves his tootsie rolls. Really?

Speaker 5 55:08

Listen, I do not eat a lot of candy, but I bought candy last week for a little gathering, and these Tootsie Rolls came in the little bank. You know, the bank? I don't know.

Speaker 3 55:21

Oh, I know that Tootsie Roll bank. I haven't I didn't know they still made them.

Speaker 5 55:25

They still do. Okay. But these Tootsies were Tootsies.

Speaker 4 55:29

We went from Footsies to Tootsies.

Speaker 5 55:33

These Tootsies were stale, which makes a Tootsie roll even better. What?

Speaker 3 55:38

Oh no, I hate a stale. I hate it. They're hard. You can't chew them. That's what I'm saying. Everything I like about them. No, I like it when they're smushy. And I don't even really like them.

unknown 55:52

Yeah.

Speaker 4 55:53

Okay, well then it's a slip it in for him.

Speaker 2 55:55

Now, does this Tootsie Roll fetish come?

Speaker 5 55:57

It's not a fetish.

Speaker 2 55:58

Okay, you're liking Tootsie Rolls. I don't know if you recall, but as young children, we hauled a wagon around the neighborhood selling Tootsie Roll banks for the National Kidney Foundation.

Speaker 3 56:12

Oh my god. Wow.

Speaker 5 56:14

No wonder you're wondering these Tootsies have so much meaning as a unfold this trauma right here.

Speaker 3 56:21

Yeah. Unpack it. You don't remember selling the banks?

Speaker 5 56:24

I think subconsciously I do. I was wheeling these Tootsies around the neighborhood. There you go. Wow. Yes, and donate to your local kidney foundation because yes.

Speaker 2 56:36

Because one time we left the money in the wagon and it was stolen. What? While we were at someone's door selling them.

Speaker 3 56:42

Someone stole out of your wagon while you were at a door. Oh God. Again, true crime is coming back to me. You didn't wagon your wagon up to the door. Wagon your wagon. You just left it on the sidewalk.

Speaker 5 56:59

I've lost control of that.

Speaker 4 57:02

Can we go back to Matty's slip it in and pull out, please?

Speaker 3 57:05

Well, this wagon story.

Speaker 5 57:07

I do need a can you just take a note, Megan, for episode 42? Tootsie Roll Wagon. Just put that in the name. Tootsie Roll. We don't have time right now with a foot. Yeah, Footsy Tootsie. Maddie, do you have a call it Footsy Tootsie episode 41? Yeah. 42.

Speaker 3 57:24

What about a picture of your foot with the Tootsie Roll between the toes for OnlyFans?

Speaker 4 57:29

Oh god, man. Megan, she might be onto something.

Speaker 3 57:33

I am with the little bank behind it. Oh right. I gotta give you my colour.

Speaker 5 57:39

JJ, I hope you I hope this lands well with you. I think you know that sometimes when I say something, I will get the wagging finger from JJ. No, no. It'll and it's like, so now I went from Tootsies to Tootssies.

Speaker 4 57:59

To

Speaker 5 58:00

.

Speaker 4 58:01

Not not.

Speaker 5 58:03

And you say, no, no. And this finger wag wags and wags and wags, and that's when I know. Shut it down, Matty. Shut it down.

Speaker 4 58:14

Uh-huh. Yeah. And that's your pull out.

Speaker 3 58:17

Your pull it out's a finger wag. A J J.

Speaker 4 58:22

A JJ finger wag.

Speaker 3 58:23

A JJ finger. What?

Speaker 5 58:26

A JJ finger wag means I have overstopped. So for me, it's a moment where I'm like, oops. Took that too far. Because he doesn't bring it out all the time. Okay. But when it comes out. But when that finger comes out, listen, I know I have crossed the line. Okay. Finger. Wag. JJ's finger wag, pull it out. You don't know. We've talked about it.

Speaker 4 58:57

I I don't I mean, to your point, it doesn't come out often. But when it does, so when it does, it's necessary. What do you mean business?

Speaker 5 59:06

Do you mean biz?

Speaker 4 59:07

It's necessary.

Speaker 5 59:08

Alright. Alright. Well, it's been on my list for a while. Wow.
