Cold Open Guilty Pleasure Tease

Speaker 0:02

You laugh, you'll cringe, you'll beg for more with a guilty pleasure you can't ignore. Like a drunk text sent at 2 a.m. We slipped it in again.

Speaker 4 0:19

Welcome, welcome, welcome, everyone. We are back, slipping it in with you. I'm Megan, and I'm here with Matty and JJ. Hello, hello. Hello, hello. So what's up? What's new?

Speaker 2 0:30

What's new? I've got some more dentist drama.

Speaker 4 0:32

Oh, God, I love it.

Speaker 2 0:34

Don't you love it when I come to the table? I don't like having to go to the dentist constantly, but it makes for some good content. I know.

Speaker 1 0:40

You guys love an update.

Speaker 2 0:42

Well, I do love an update. Yeah, I know.

Speaker 4 0:44

With this dentist, did you record it?

Speaker 2 0:46

It's like this is episode four of the oh no. This dentist saga. I did, okay. So I've been to the dentist twice since the last dentist update. The last time was for a cleaning, and I did hit the record button, I got nothing. So nothing juicy came out of it. So I didn't, you know.

Speaker 1 1:05

But is that legal?

Speaker 2 1:07

I'm not sure.

Speaker 4 1:08

But I mean Michigan's a one-party state. So you can record anyone as long as you're yeah, as long as you're in the conversation, you can record them. But other states, you have to have permission, but Michigan's one party and you're the one party.

Speaker 1 1:23

This is why I love to have a well.

Speaker 4 1:28

I mean, that's so like tit for tat. 100% that is not, and I think violates HIPAA rules, but I'm no medical doctor.

Speaker 2 1:36

Right. You draw the line there. So anyway, and the last one.

Speaker 4 1:41

I just got it. It was a delayed reaction. I don't pretend to be an attorney. I am one.

Speaker 1 1:46

Oh. Oh. But a HIPAA doctor is what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 1:50

Well, HIPAA is like under like the I meant sorry. I said HIPAA. I meant Hippocratic Oath.

Speaker 2 1:56

Hippocrates.

Speaker 4 1:57

Hippocratic oath, which is what doctors take.

Speaker 2 2:00

Oh, you said so and I don't know all their rules. Okay, hold on. I'm gonna reel it back in.

Speaker 4 2:05

Yeah, okay, sorry.

Speaker 2 2:06

I had the cleaning, nothing came of it, but then they're like, we need to schedule a follow-up, we need to give you a crown. And open my bite.

Speaker 1 2:14

And you're like, yes, queen.

Speaker 2 2:16

Yeah, and then right. And then and they also said, we gotta open your bite up. And I'm like, well, it'll make me popular at parties.

Speaker 1 2:23

With a crown?

Speaker 2 2:24

A crown and a bigger bite?

Speaker 1 2:26

Well, yeah.

Speaker 2 2:26

All right, schedule me. And make sure I get the nitrous, which is that doesn't do much, though. Oh, it does so much. And they started charging for it. I don't know if you know. Oh, I fifty dollars. They're like, Really?

Speaker 1 2:39

You have to request.

unknown 2:40

Yeah.

Speaker 2 2:40

Request it. And it cost me $50, but you better believe I signed up for it.

Speaker 4 2:44

You do. For f I see, I wouldn't for $50. I was gonna be in the well, you're it's not worth it.

Speaker 2 2:48

They told me it was a two-hour appointment. So two hours of nitrous. I mean, that's like 30, 30 cents a minute. Is that right?

Speaker 4 2:56

You're the math guru to me.

The 3D Mouth Scan Wand

Speaker 2 2:58

All right. So anyway, at this particular appointment, I got two stories. The first story is that this they have this new technology where they take this handheld wand and they put it inside your mouth, and they just kind of just willy nils, roll it around the tops of your gums, the bottoms, all the way to the back, the front, and and they have this computer on wheels, and it creates this 3D image model of your mouth. And it takes the place really of how thick is this wand? Well, funny. Because I yes, hold on. So it creates this whole thing of my mouth, and it's 3D, and they can and it takes place of a lot of having to have these other uh x-rays all the time. Well, she's doing her magic wand. I have this nitrous thing on my nose, so I look like piglet, you know, like piglet, and it kind of uh rests on my upper lip. So when she takes this thick wand, so it's thick, and she's trying, she goes, she says to me, She goes, Oh, and I'm like, What? She goes, Well, I got this big wand and I'm trying to put it at the front of your mouth, and I don't want to hurt you. I want I'm trying to get it in the back. Do you like up for her? I'm like, oh, if I had a dollar for one trying to get a big wand in the front of my lip. And I said to her, and I was knee deep in nitrous at this point, I said, Well, do you want me to hold my lip open for you? And she started laughing, and I'm like, What? She goes, You don't have to open up, hold your lips. And I'm like, Well, I can help. I'm happy to. Yeah.

Speaker 4 4:31

I'm surprised you didn't say I'm used to it.

Tension With The Dental Staff

Speaker 2 4:33

Well, I mean, I almost in my I had the actual thought in my head of saying, if I've heard that once but I had enough sense, even though on this deep inhales of nitrous, to keep that in. All right. I've also, I don't know if I've mentioned, but the dentist who has had said sketchy things to me before also has like berated at times, and berated might not be the right word, but I will say I've gotten uncomfortable somehow how she'll talk to her staff. Oh, wow. And in this particular situation, it happened again. And I could sense the tension in the room room. And one of them's they both have a hand in my mouth, right? So I'm like, this is not great because there's some tension in the air.

Speaker 1 5:19

Yeah, and your mouth is open, like you're in a very venomable position.

Speaker 2 5:24

Yeah, I've got my mouth open, my eyes are darting left or right. I'm like, oh my god, now what's she gonna say? And so anyway, they finished up, or the dentist finished up. She left the room, and I am now I'm really feeling it.

Speaker 1 5:36

And then I trust you.

Speaker 2 5:37

The hygienist or the assistant had her back to me. I reached my hand out and I tap her on her back. Oh, and she turns around and she goes, What's up? And I said, Come here. And I try to wave her in, and she goes, What are you guys? And I'm like, I want to tell you, talk to you about the dentist. You turn like you're mad. She's like, she says to me, she goes, She can't hear you. She's in the other room, she can't hear you. What do you what do you I said, well, are you okay? And she's like, Oh, Jesus. She goes, She goes, No, she goes, Have you met this woman? And I'm like, Yeah. She's like, I've been here eight years. This isn't anything new. This is how she is. And I'm like, Oh, I've been here a long time too. And I'm like, I've seen it, yeah. I'm like, yeah. I said, I've always liked my dentistry, but I've not always appreciated like the interaction. And she's like, Well, I do thank you for asking how I'm doing, but I'm gonna be okay. And I'm like, All right, turn up the nicer. Oh my god. Oh my god.

Getting Called Drip At The Doctor

Speaker 1 6:42

I actually had an experience with my doctor this week. Um, because I was very excited this week has been like a nightmare with like my sinuses. So I went with my um to see my doctor, and one of the nurses was like, oh my god, I just love your style so much. And then she was like immediately, she's like, you know, it's like the like the kids say nowadays, like drip. And I'm like, wait, what? Drip. Drip, like drip. Like they're like, now the kids are saying drip.

Speaker 4 7:08

You haven't heard drip before?

Speaker 1 7:10

I've heard it before, but it was just not a long time.

Speaker 2 7:13

I mean, it wasn't a long time, like, I don't know.

Speaker 4 7:16

Well, it's back in the hip-hop, it's like it was a big word they used a lot in hip-hops back in hip-hop songs back in like the 2010.

Speaker 2 7:24

To explain how somebody fashionally looks.

Speaker 4 7:28

Yeah.

Speaker 1 7:29

I mean, I think regardless of the hips and the hops, like it it's not I love it. I think it was it's I think the kids nowadays are bringing a lot of the terms. We've yeah, we went through the whole slang of things that the kids are saying nowadays. And I think I think that that is a typical thing that now people are saying is like, oh, the kids are saying this now.

Speaker 2 7:48

I have a question for you. Yeah, you just said you had a really rough week, you're sick all week, and yet when you go into the doctor, oh 100%.

Speaker 1 7:58

You're dripping.

Speaker 2 7:59

You're looking like a you don't go in. You're looking. You're looking like a drip.

Speaker 1 8:06

Yeah.

Speaker 2 8:07

And you're you have a sinus infection. She's like, you're rolling your ass into the doctor.

Speaker 1 8:13

This is the second time she's like, Drake, what I wanted to say something last time, but you like I love your style.

Speaker 4 8:19

Wow. You these is it a female or male doctor?

Speaker 1 8:23

It's a female.

Speaker 4 8:24

You guys and these female doctors, like you're like really getting a lot of borderline.

Speaker 2 8:30

Did she ask you to do a little spin? No, did she go? Can we can you do a turn?

Speaker 1 8:33

She did it, but I had a code. She's like, I have a place for your code right here. Oh god. But she's like, she wanted to just like so.

Speaker 4 8:43

I guess for people who don't know if drip is a new word for you. Back in the day, it meant like you were dripping, which was like high fashion clothes. You were real stylish, you had very up-to-date, like luxury items. Correct.

Speaker 2 8:59

I was gonna say dripping in diamonds.

Speaker 4 9:01

Yeah, like diamonds more like it was like high-end fashion. Like you were the epitome of like whatever was, you know, Gucci, Louie, Hermes. Like you were dripping.

Speaker 1 9:14

It's not a new word. Correct. Just like they the kids are now, you know, they take old words.

Speaker 2 9:19

Well, they make up words nowadays, but they also take old words and assign new meanings to them. And now I'm dripping. You are dripping.

Speaker 4 9:26

Yeah. Well, I'm curious about this outfit now.

Speaker 2 9:29

I am too. I'd like to see what you wear when you're on your deathbed.

Speaker 1 9:35

Check your ling treat. Just do a little JJ's closet.

Speaker 2 9:38

Oh, I love it. Oh my god, do a lean treat. JJ goes to the doctor. Oh my god. JJ goes to the doctor.

Speaker 4 9:44

I love it. You two can be called drip by your doctor.

Speaker 2 9:49

You know what? I just remembered this when I went to the dentist. I told you guys ahead of time. It was on St. Patrick's Day. And I said to you guys, I'm intentionally not Oh, you did? Yes.

Speaker 1 10:00

That's funny. It's same sympathetic.

Speaker 2 10:02

I said, I'm intentionally not gonna wear green to see if she pinches me.

Speaker 4 10:07

I thought she didn't, right?

Speaker 2 10:08

She comment, she had a shirt on that said um something like, don't kiss me unless you floss, or something that was you know, like how like a little bit of a continuation there. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 10:24

That seems a little bit.

Speaker 2 10:25

She did comment that I didn't have any green on, but she didn't go in for a pin.

Speaker 4 10:28

Oh, I'm surprised.

Cracklin Oat Bran Secret Fans

Speaker 2 10:30

Or a kiss. No, neither. No. I'm totally surprised. All right. Um, all right. I do have another update, JJ. I love it. May I you are going ahead. Okay. I had a few people reach out to me after last product review that I did.

Speaker 1 10:49

Yes. Like handful, 10, 15.

Speaker 2 10:53

Yeah, I would say four out of five.

Speaker 1 10:55

Okay. That's good. I like it.

Speaker 2 10:56

Yeah. Especially when you know the topic. They came to me and the last product review I did was on Cracklin' Oat Bran. Oh God. It struck a nerve. People, I didn't realize it. I did not know that people were living in secrecy around their love for Cracklin' Oat Bran.

Speaker 4 11:19

Like, wow, I'm shocked. So multiple people and they came to you and said, Don't talk about me. They said it was also in secret to them confessing to you.

Speaker 2 11:29

No. What? No. No, they said this. They said, when I heard your product review, I about died. I'm like, why? I also love Crackle and Oat Brand. I thought I was on an island. I was like, they didn't say this, but in my mind, I'm thinking, thank you for letting me come out of the darkness. Like they're like, one person said, I have to scout out and know which stores carry it because not all of them do. Oh, I didn't know that.

Speaker 4 12:00

I thought that was a standard cereal option that all stores would have it.

Speaker 2 12:03

And another person is like, I was laughing so hard. I grew up on it. I love it. And I associate I get associated with like being an older person.

Speaker 1 12:13

I was gonna say.

Speaker 2 12:14

And and so they're like, I don't usually talk about it. Oh my god, and someone's like, you should get Crackland O'Bran to be a pod spawn because you can reach a whole new demographic. Because most people just also at work, I I I said this on the podcast, but like I got a lot of flack for like trying to vote it through the serial brackets.

Speaker 1 12:38

Oh, that's true, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 12:39

Yeah. And I mean, people just associate it with elderly, and I feel like I'm doing God's work here.

Speaker 1 12:47

So it's now like we can have we're gonna have a crackling uh uh Oprah, is it? Oat Bran? Yes, I'm like I'm gonna do it. Did you say Oprah? Oprah is it? Yeah, crackling Oprah.

Speaker 4 12:58

I'd love a cracklin' Oprah.

Speaker 1 13:00

It's gonna be a secret secret club now.

Speaker 2 13:02

I mean, I might, you know how I started that fan group for fans? Yeah, I might sock and Oprah.

Speaker 1 13:08

Cracklin' Oat Bran Club. Why girl?

Speaker 2 13:12

You have had a rough week. That's sinus infection. Yeah. Wow.

Speaker 4 13:16

Well, so this guilty pleasure is out there. How do you feel about others sharing your guilty pleasure, Matty?

Speaker 2 13:22

I didn't really think it like I didn't associate it as a guilty pleasure because a guilty pleasure is something I probably wouldn't talk about normally. I mean, like, I You were just a fan. I just thought, I mean, I like it. It it doubles as a snack and a cereal, and it's a favorite. I it's the segment. But now I'm learning that there's a stigma attached to it, and there's a whole generation that appeal that loves it that needs to be recognized.

Speaker 1 13:54

Oh my god.

Speaker 2 13:56

Come out of the darkness.

Speaker 1 13:57

Oh, yeah. Just come out of kind of come out of that class.

Speaker 4 14:01

Come on, cracklinopras.

Speaker 2 14:07

So yeah, that's my favorite non-guilty pleasure, I guess. I don't know.

Speaker 4 14:14

Okay, well, do you have any other guilty pleasures then?

Speaker 1 14:17

If that's not really a guilty pleasure, I mean I think that he admitted that it is. I mean, you just feel like that's not.

Speaker 4 14:23

He doesn't feel guilty about it.

Speaker 2 14:24

It depends on how you define it.

Speaker 4 14:26

He says other people, it was their guilty pleasures, not his.

Speaker 2 14:30

This is a pleasure. Oh. I don't feel any guilt about it. In fact, I want everyone who loves it to release their shame.

Speaker 1 14:38

Okay.

What Counts As A Guilty Pleasure

Speaker 2 14:38

And come out of the woodworks. Give them some freedom. I guess if I were to. Now this is an older. This is an elderly.

Speaker 4 14:48

I feel like you've got you're in a trend. Late age category with these loves of yours.

Speaker 2 14:54

So this I do think okay, it's a Werther's Original. Do you know that?

Speaker 4 14:58

Oh, I know a Werthers.

Speaker 2 14:59

Do you know what a Werther's is, JJ?

Speaker 4 15:01

You consider that like a guilty pleasure, a Werther's.

Speaker 2 15:06

Again, it's semantics. I I love them. I keep them a little bit more of a secret when I'm popping a Werther's.

Speaker 1 15:15

Because it it would push you.

Speaker 2 15:18

Well, if you were to watch a Werthers commercial, it's usually like an 80-year-old man in a rocking chair. Literally.

Speaker 1 15:25

It comes right after AARP commercial.

Speaker 2 15:27

His little grandson's kind of strolling up on him and is like, what you doing, grandpa? And he's like, Oh, I'm enjoying a Werthers. You know it's true. And so in my work bag, I have they have new minis. So I've got the minis, and I You always have them in your work bag. Um I have for the last six months since I discovered the minis. Uh-huh. So I don't know.

Speaker 4 15:54

Like I do love a Werthers. And I will say, Trader Joe's just came out with a like pseudo Worthers that I have walked by a couple of times. Well, but I've not bought it, but I've wanted to, but now I should try it now. I'm gonna buy it and bring it over.

Speaker 2 16:09

I'll look for it.

Speaker 1 16:10

Yeah, yeah. You know she likes she likes a sample.

Speaker 2 16:12

I mean, I've been talking. Okay, what do you guys? Do you guys have any guilty pleasures if you want to come clean? I've been doing a lot of talking.

Speaker 4 16:19

Well, I I don't, I mean, I guess this could be considered.

Speaker 1 16:27

This is kind of more of like a secret.

Speaker 4 16:28

Like we have to say it's like guilty pleasure, but it's something I do get pleasure from it. I like it. No, I was not one. I don't know. Like, I like the idea of it. So whenever I get dressed, it is like a compulsion that I have to wear matching underwear and bra, and I have to have them match my outfit.

Speaker 2 16:54

Okay. Okay.

Speaker 4 16:55

So they're somehow color coordinated.

Speaker 2 16:57

Do you find this a guilty pleasure, not a compulsive behavior? Oh, I don't know.

Speaker 1 17:03

Maybe it's both. Maybe it's a commutation.

Speaker 2 17:05

I don't know. Like a guilty pleasure to me is associated with indulgence. Like I'm indulgent. Guilty?

Speaker 1 17:11

No, I don't know.

Speaker 2 17:14

Don't most women match their objects.

Speaker 1 17:19

What kind of pleasure are we talking about?

Speaker 4 17:21

Well, I'm happy that all my shit matches.

Speaker 2 17:24

And you look, you like walk around like if they could see how color coordinated I am.

Speaker 4 17:29

But I feel comfortable that if I get into some accident or some issue, all my shit's gonna look good. And coordinate it. Exactly.

Speaker 2 17:38

Oh my god, you guys, look at her, she's got navy undies on to match this blazer.

Speaker 4 17:45

Yeah, navy, navy, all. Yep.

Speaker 2 17:47

Okay, but don't most women maybe don't match the outer outfit, but don't you typically have a matching ensemble um undies and bra?

Speaker 4 17:57

I thought so, but I don't, it's not, it doesn't seem to be tried and true.

Werther’s Love And Snack Shame

Speaker 2 18:02

Oh, because you've come across some car accidents where they're mismatched.

Speaker 4 18:07

Like people talk, or if I've traveled with people, I see what they're putting on.

Speaker 1 18:13

Oh, really?

Speaker 4 18:14

Yeah, doesn't always match.

Speaker 1 18:17

Now you got me thinking.

Speaker 2 18:18

Um she's got me thinking a lot. I don't even think that's a guilty pleasure, though.

Speaker 1 18:21

But I mean I'm glad you got pleasure from it. I feel that she gets pleasure out of it, like a satisfaction out of it.

Speaker 4 18:28

Yeah, like so days where I don't match guilt. Days where I don't match, I feel not quite as self-assured and ready to go.

Speaker 1 18:36

Okay, I think that the guilt also comes in from it's not the normal for people to do that in a regular basis. Listen, I'm not coming.

Speaker 2 18:46

I'm not coming for her panties or her bras. But I will say this by definition, my opinion, just opinion of one. Yeah, a guilty pleasure is like I might slightly be. Well, this does support you. I was gonna say slightly not want people to know that I enjoy this.

Speaker 1 19:05

But she is saying it out color coordination.

Speaker 2 19:08

Okay, all right.

Speaker 4 19:08

Yeah, don't question guilt and match, because we would do two pieces as women, not just one.

Speaker 1 19:15

Yeah, well, sometimes there's some people out there.

Speaker 4 19:18

Top bottom and outer.

Speaker 2 19:21

All right, we do top bottom out. Oh my god.

Speaker 1 19:24

Well, no, I was just thinking, I was just thinking as you guys were speaking, like what could be my secret?

Speaker 2 19:33

Go.

unknown 19:34

Go.

Speaker 1 19:34

Well, I think I talked about it already. Like it's and it's there's no secret, and I feel no guilt about it.

Speaker 2 19:40

Well, then it's can't be a guilty person.

Speaker 1 19:42

But I feel a lot of satisfaction, and I think again, going back to what Megan was talking about, it's not the normal, but I love ironing my clothes.

Speaker 4 19:50

Yeah, no, that's not the normal.

Speaker 1 19:52

My process after doing laundry is a long day because I have to iron it before putting it on the drawer.

Speaker 4 19:59

Oh, wow. Oh, you iron before drawer, it just gets wrinkled then.

Speaker 1 20:04

Some items, or even if I have to hang them, if it's an item like a button-up shirt, I have to iron it before putting it on the hanger.

Speaker 2 20:13

You mean out of the laundry?

Speaker 1 20:15

Yes.

Speaker 2 20:16

I feel like that's normal.

Speaker 4 20:18

Not to fold it then, where it gets creases from the folds. To fold it and put it in a chair. To hang her is one of those.

Speaker 1 20:27

If I'm traveling, I also iron before packing.

Speaker 4 20:30

Oh my god.

Speaker 2 20:31

That's and I will say anything I fold will never see an iron, period.

Speaker 1 20:36

It seems oh no, it sees an iron again.

Speaker 2 20:38

It's right, like by Dimart. Again, I hate to be again.

Speaker 1 20:42

It's my guilty pleasure.

Speaker 2 20:45

Well, now where is she coming for your support?

Speaker 4 20:48

She is coming for me. No, I support it's a guilty pleasure, and I think you might want it a little more secretive.

Speaker 1 20:55

I'm just gonna I'm just gonna say this. I'm proud an ironer.

Speaker 2 21:00

I that's my point. You're out loud and proud about being an ironing, so I don't know if it's a guilty pleasure, but I don't want to be the dead horse.

Speaker 1 21:10

It's guilty because I mean I feel bad for the people that don't do it.

Speaker 2 21:13

Well, you mean 98% of the population?

Matching Lingerie And Ironing Confessions

Speaker 1 21:16

I don't iron is out ironing out. No, because like sometimes there's something wrinkle releaser in. No, that downy wrinkle releaser, that smell. Like, I don't want to smell like I'm like a stretch, I'm ready to go out the door.

Speaker 4 21:32

I will say one of the things I love most about advancements in this world is those new anti wrinkle fabrics that didn't exist back in the 70s and 80s.

unknown 21:45

Yeah.

Speaker 2 21:45

Yeah, but that would take all your pleasure away, dude.

Speaker 1 21:49

Well, I've skilled down I've scaled down. I used to even iron my uh underwear. Trust me.

Speaker 2 21:55

Like we'd go out and he and literally, if you tried to rush him. Or try to like cut a corner by skipping iron.

Speaker 1 22:04

Slip the finger out.

Speaker 2 22:05

Oh, the wag would come out. And it it would be like he would get upset and I could see it. And I'd be like, okay, go ahead and iron your jeans.

Speaker 4 22:12

Oh, God.

Speaker 2 22:12

He would iron his jeans.

Speaker 4 22:14

That's so crazy. Too much.

Speaker 1 22:16

When I moved to my new place, Melissa, which is uh, you know, uh you know, she's been with us before, she gifted me like a full-on like ironing section and like an ironing board.

Speaker 4 22:27

I can't.

Speaker 2 22:27

Because she knows, yeah. You have your own ironing nook.

Speaker 4 22:31

Well, I have uh another guilty pleasure, I guess, since you didn't like my first guilty pleasure.

Speaker 1 22:37

Well, we kind of liked it, but it's still questioning.

Speaker 4 22:39

All right, okay.

Speaker 2 22:40

I think we're creating um a storyline around what it what makes a guilty pleasure.

Speaker 4 22:44

Yeah, well, here's another one I'll throw at you. Obviously, everyone knows. I love it.

Speaker 1 22:53

I was hoping for that one.

Speaker 2 22:56

We might want to say we know each other too, not not pantyholes. Okay, shut up.

Speaker 4 23:02

Absolutely not. Um, my other guilty pleasure, obviously, you know, is I love some reality TV. I have been.

Speaker 2 23:12

Now that's a guilty pleasure. Yeah. Well, are you guilty about it?

Speaker 4 23:15

I'm loud and proud and out about it. See?

Speaker 2 23:17

No, that's not a guilty pleasure. Okay, well, there we go. See?

Speaker 4 23:21

Anyway, one show I never really talk about much is that I'm a Bachelor-Bachelorette franchise fan. Oh, I still have that so long type of. The shows since day one, I've seen all of the various episodes, series.

Speaker 2 23:35

We know where this is going.

Bachelorette Chaos And Hulu Backstory

Speaker 4 23:36

Bachelor of Paradise, Golden Bachelor, Bachelorette, all of it. So I will say the whole franchise potentially could now be blown up by Taylor Frankie Paul. I mean, so she is one of the stars of the secret lives of Mormon wives that became famous several years ago for their little dancing videos. Um, they're all Mormon. They live in Utah, they call themselves Mom Talk and they became TikTok famous, basically.

Speaker 2 24:11

Did they dance in their secret underwear?

Speaker 4 24:13

They don't wear secret underwear, but they talk about none of them wear. They call them garments because that's the property if you wore them, would they be color coordinated? No, because all cards they're usually. Yours would be ironed, and hers would be matchable. The secret underwear is always usually like this white. Yeah, like linen type of thing. Yeah, it's gross.

Speaker 2 24:34

Oh, you couldn't iron that probably either.

Speaker 4 24:36

Anyway, none of them have been wearing their garments for a while. And um anyway, what we get up you were talking about that they don't wear their garments.

Speaker 2 24:46

I think we're tired tonight.

Speaker 4 24:48

No. So I am anyway. She became kind of the most famous one of the group initially because she came out and said she was swinging with this other Mormon couple that blew up both of their marriages. So they both ended up getting divorced. And then they got this reality TV show, Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, that's been on Hulu. They've just filmed four seasons. The fourth season just aired, which aired, which showed uh all of their lives up until Taylor Frankie Paul leaving for The Bachelorette to start The Bachelorette.

Speaker 3 25:27

Okay.

Speaker 4 25:28

But I go back to the beginning of when I it was first announced she was The Bachelorette. I'm like, this is insane. Because on the show, if you ever watch Secret Lives of Mormon Wise, I tried the season that's season one, but I'm like a stop halfway.

Speaker 1 25:42

Yeah, it's the same.

Speaker 4 25:44

In that season one, Taylor Frankie Paul was divorced, newly divorced, met this guy, Dakota Mortenson. I remember that. They had this crazy toxic relationship, and she ends up getting pregnant, having a son. They named him.

Speaker 1 25:57

Were they like fighting all the time?

Speaker 4 25:58

Yes.

Speaker 1 25:59

Yeah.

Speaker 4 25:59

They still were fighting and have been broken up for years. Yeah. And in this last season of The Bachelorette, she was still fighting with them constantly. And she slept with them the night before she left to go to The Bachelorette.

Speaker 2 26:12

Wow.

Speaker 4 26:13

Yes.

Speaker 2 26:13

And Dice Hanfle.

Speaker 4 26:16

When she was picked as Bachelorette, I'm like, she's so toxic. This is not good for the franchise. And it's clear to anyone who's watched the show, she's not over.

Speaker 2 26:25

Well, she's also a felon. Yes.

Speaker 4 26:27

Correct. So part of what happened with this baby daddy, Dakota, in 2023, they got in this huge fight where she was throwing metal chairs at him, and one of them hit her daughter in the head.

Speaker 2 26:43

Oh, it did? Yes. Hit her in the head.

Speaker 4 26:46

Yes, it hit her in the head. So Taylor Frankie Paul got charged with a uh she well, she pled to a plea deal. So she pled to a P deal, a plea deal in abeyance to a third-degree felony count of aggregate aggravated assault. So only if she completed her three years of probation would this felony count of aggravated assault drop down to be a class A misdemeanor. So her three years of probation was up in August, is up in August. So she's still in probation now.

Speaker 3 27:21

Okay.

Speaker 4 27:22

And originally she was charged with one felony count of aggravated assault, two felony counts of domestic violence in the presence of a child, along with one misdemeanor count each of child abuse and criminal mischief.

Speaker 2 27:34

So she was It seems like a handful.

Speaker 4 27:36

That was all in 2023. Everyone knew that when she was picked as the Bachelorette.

Speaker 1 27:40

So I'm gonna say this because like Disney or ABC or Hulu are not sponsoring us yet.

Speaker 2 27:47

Yes. Correct. Speak freely.

Speaker 1 27:51

So they knew about, I mean, because Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is on Hulu. So they knew about this whole shenanigans, and yet they picked her for the Bachelorette. So something tells me that probably she is this this season is going to be here at some point. Or some sort of a documentary or some sort.

Speaker 2 28:09

That I will give you. I think they'll probably okay, just for the record, everything you've said, Megan, yeah, has caught me up to the point of two days ago when I heard The Bachelor. I didn't know the backstory of all this. Yeah. But now I've got opinions moving forward from The Bachelor Forward.

Speaker 4 28:29

Well, let me tell you okay, The Bachelor Forward, I guess. But do you know she's got some fashion? Well, no, because one thing I didn't know. Do you know what was the tipping point for them canceling the bachelorette?

Speaker 2 28:42

Uh yes.

Speaker 4 28:44

Which is what?

Speaker 2 28:46

It was that it came out that she um was throwing chairs.

Speaker 4 28:53

No. Well that chair throwing incident was from 2023. She's already been charged to it. She's done interviews talking about it, how she learned and her lesson and was under probation, all of that. What happened was at the end of February, there were new domestic violence charges. Her against Dakota, her baby daddy, and her baby daddy against her. So there's domestic violence charges going both ways.

Speaker 2 29:19

Did you know that? No. Now I'm caught up even more. Now I'm caught up even more.

Speaker 4 29:24

So when so when those those charges came out and they said, Oh, they're gonna cancel it, she started doing press over the weekend. Then the video from the 2023 episode was released on TMZ. Okay. And when the video got released of the 2023 incident, that's when they canceled The Bachelorette.

Speaker 2 29:48

Okay. So I'm gonna go from I'm gonna take another angle.

Speaker 3 29:52

Go ahead.

Speaker 2 29:53

So all that is Cray Cray. Like this girl. And to your point, JJ, it's like they knew they they knew, but I still, and we we shouldn't go down this rabbit hole, because I think we all agree. But I don't know how anyone sitting around that table could legitimately say, like, this is gonna go over just fine. Like exactly. There's just too much law, crime, felonies, a child's getting hurt. There's a lot going on. Like, I mean, how like cancel culture? I can't believe anyone. So I don't know, maybe there's some other motivations. We'll see how it all plays out. I'm sure there'll be one-off specials in 2020s and behind the scenes and the men talk. Okay, that's where I'm coming from. Yeah, these men, bless their hearts, they must be furious. The bachelors. Yeah. Yeah. Can you imagine? Because now I mean, you've been waiting. Call me, call me whatever you want to call me, but I don't think a lot of men, women, men or women going on the show nowadays, I don't think their number one is to find love.

Speaker 1 31:08

No.

Why The Season Gets Canceled

Speaker 2 31:09

It might have been in the beginning when it was new. Yeah. And some of them might, if they find love along the way, they'll be like, that's a bonus. But like they, it's after so many seasons, so much more. They're going to Bachelor or Bachelorette. They're doing traders. Yeah. They're going, they're getting products, they're dancing with the stars, all the things, right?

Speaker 4 31:31

The next bachelor, the next bachelorette.

Speaker 1 31:33

They'll be a podcaster. Correct.

Speaker 2 31:35

Yes. And so and these a lot of times people are quitting their jobs, putting their lives on hold, breaking up with girlfriends or boyfriends. And all of a sudden they've put the they've filmed the whole thing. And now all of a sudden they're like, oh my God, where's my five seconds of fame?

Speaker 1 31:51

Yeah.

Speaker 2 31:51

Correct. Yeah. And that's where I feel like we're these men are gonna come forward. They're gonna start coming out one by one, I think, of with their stories and their things and their this. Well, and maybe even like, I don't know.

Speaker 4 32:06

I would love that, but I don't see that happening because when you go on these shows, you're signing NDAs, you're not allowed to talk about anything, and the show's never gonna air. So I don't know that that's gonna happen.

Speaker 2 32:19

Well, what do you think, JJ? I think Okay. I think uh CMZ. Speaking of Megan, and they're I don't know how they got some really good employees.

Speaker 1 32:33

Yeah. Before you say that, like, I mean, I think that this is one of those stories that it it's really progressing so fast with many facts, many things happening. So maybe even at the time that this episode airs, oh probably there are a lot of more details to it.

Speaker 2 32:51

Um, it's the weekend and we drop on Wednesdays. So live listen to this. I just looked. It says, Megan, at least five men are considering legal action. And it says, like I said, because some quit their jobs, pause their lives, now the show is gone. They have no exposure, no payoff. So what I mean, as an attorney, do they have a case? Do you think?

Speaker 4 33:16

No, because I'm assuming the contract they sign probably says that the ABC or Disney or whoever it's with can um portray them in any light they see, they can edit it. They anything that they film, they can do, and they can't talk about anything until the last episode airs, and nothing's gonna get aired. So I think they have no, and it probably says nothing requires them to air anything, and that they don't ever have to show them on camera.

Speaker 2 33:46

They probably, I mean, it's probably a 10-page or more contract or 50 page or whatever. Yeah, and they sign all their rights away. However, I think there will probably be some, it'll be like the men break their silence. And you know what?

Speaker 4 33:59

They're gonna be like, come men tell all, and maybe if ABC and Disney's producing it and doing it, they would do it.

Speaker 2 34:06

Well, even if they don't, okay, I'll just put myself in their shoes. At some point, if I feel like I really missed out on my opportunity and screwed up my whole life to go on this show for nothing, then I might just be like, Come for me, ABC. Come for me. Cause and will ABC really come after them? That would be more bad press, I think. And meanwhile, they'll get their face out there, they'll get their interviews out there. Everyone will be trying to get them to sit for a sit-down. I would just be like, I'll take my chances, I'll break this NDA. I mean, are they really gonna come after me in court? I don't think that's good press for ABC either.

Speaker 4 34:43

Yeah, but there is an angle, these men, they potentially could make a case for an unsafe work environment due to the fact that Taylor Frankie Paul is so unhinged and crazy.

Speaker 2 34:54

Well, flip the script, not to be all, you know, male-female, but I agree with you 100%. Like if this flip if the script was flipped and this was a man who had assault charges and endangerment with their child, and then you have a room full of women, you better believe the majority of people are gonna be like, You how can you put all these women in this potentially dangerous situation where this person is proven to be violent and aggressive? Correct. So, I mean, it should go both ways, right?

Speaker 4 35:28

And yes, and we should I want to make it clear that although this latest incident, there's domestic violence allegations going both ways, Taylor against Dakota, Dakota against Taylor, Dakota filed for a restraining order against Taylor and also requested full custody of their child. And he was given temporary custody of their son. Um, in the meantime, a new hearing is set for April 7th. So right now, Taylor Frankie Paul has lost custody of her youngest son. Her other two children are with her first husband.

Speaker 2 36:04

You know what messes me up on this story a lot is that I always I think of Taylor as more of a girl's name and Dakota more of no Taylor as more of a boy's name and Dakota as a girl's name. They have like they both have names that they could they're they can be both boy or girl names, yeah.

Speaker 4 36:23

But there is a very famous Taylor, Taylor Swift.

Speaker 1 36:25

Yeah, who is there's a very famous Dakota with the name. Dakota fanning. Yeah, one of my faves.

Speaker 2 36:30

Oh, you love those fanning girls. You what's the other one's name? Dakota and L fanning.

Speaker 4 36:36

So, and just for anyone who wants to know, spoiler alert. So if this ever this bachelorette season ever gets aired, stop listening and fast forward a few seconds. Anyway, if you follow reality Steve, he's known for breaking uh the spoilers for Bachelor, Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise every season. So Taylor does get engaged. She was engaged for about a month, a month and a half, and then ended the engagement with the man she chose. Yeah, she got engaged to Doug Mason, who's originally from Idaho.

Speaker 2 37:13

Oh, that was a spoiler. You just gave it. No. It's out there. Idaho, Udaho. He was from Idaho, yes.

Speaker 4 37:20

Uh, they went to St. Lucia. Uh, the other guy in the final two, his name I think is Sean Preston. Anyway, so she was engaged when she left The Bachelorette and went home. A month later, she ended the engagement. And I saw her then a month after that, about a month after that is when these new domestic violence charges came out.

Speaker 2 37:40

This is the last thing I have to say on it. We here have a platform and we can disguise your voice and put you in the we can put you in the shadows. If you want to speak your piece, whether you were the first one kicked off or the last one standing, we've got a rose for you.

Domestic Violence Resources And Boundaries

Speaker 1 37:59

And I also want to close it. It's like if you or anybody you know has suffered uh from any domestic violence, there is the the hotline.org or 1-800-799-7233. Um, thank you, JJ. That's important.

Speaker 4 38:18

Yeah, it's no one should be in any type of an abusive relationship, both physical, mental, correct, sexual, etc.

Speaker 1 38:26

If you're looking for something to lighten your mood, we are.

Speaker 4 38:31

Yeah.

Speaker 1 38:31

I don't know if you want it. Um this can become a good guilty pleasure for you.

Speaker 4 38:36

Ooh, I love a guilty pleasure.

Dear You Mail Club TikTok Small Business

Speaker 1 38:38

And I want to introduce a small business that I stumble upon on TikTok. Because as somebody would do, you know, just how you find your information nowadays on the TikTok. And I wanted to just lift it up as my um review or my new thing that I want to, I think kind of I'm obsessed with. And it kind of goes in trend with one of the things that we said that it's happening in 2026. Um, this TikTok creator called Danny Penev, P-E-N-E-V, um, created uh a great, great, great product. Um, and if you want to go and check it out, is DannyPenev.com. He created this called this membership of this club called Dear You. It's a Dear You male club. What he does with this is that he puts together every month a package for you with a Heartfill letter with the pen pals that we talked about. Yeah. He puts together a Heartfill letter, a handwritten style letter, a 5x7 R print, a recipe inspired by the month team theme. There's always going to be a theme every month, and a surprise goodie. Uh like stickers, bookmarks, and journaling prompts is $9 a month. And he just puts it together like four people. I think it was it, you know, we talked about even with your sisters.

Speaker 2 40:09

He does it all over the country or the world.

Speaker 1 40:11

Yeah, so he send us over. Um, it's very, you know, it's like very thoughtful, and I love that to see that there's people out there like him, like Danny, that is thinking about how we can make this world a better place. Um, and we've talked about pen pals and we've talked about like writing letters. Two different kinds. Different kinds. I don't know what Danny will do in that direction, but I think that um I love the you know being able to have somebody like him. Like I think. Have you got the shipment? I didn't, but I signed up for it. I haven't had my month yet.

Speaker 2 40:47

So your can't get enough of it is the anticipation of it. The anticipation of it. And it's very cle well, I love it. I do love the sentiment.

Speaker 1 40:55

Yeah, and another very important thing is five percent of everything that he does every month goes to food banks, um homeless shelters. Um, so there is a mission behind that. And I think I've uh well, we I reviewed like Bombas has a mission too. So I like them when there's a product out there and like having a small business, and on top of that, you're thinking about how can I give back? Um, so it's again, it's not a product that I have in my hands yet, but I stumble upon it. I'm like, I'm obsessed already with the idea of it. Why not bring it to um our people and promote it, Danny?

Speaker 2 41:34

I'm looking at um examples. Oh, there's like a little poem here and a little recipe, and they're really cute. These would look cute on my bulletin board. Oh, there you go.

Speaker 4 41:44

Yeah, so it says that each shipment you get an original art print. Does he is he an artist? Is he the one so he's drawing this art print every month?

Speaker 2 41:52

I love that. How genius is that? Because it's getting his own artwork out there. I love it. And if he were to take off, you'd be getting so like either way, art is just an uplifter for me. Yeah, I mean, like I've always said you can't put like if you like I have some art in my house, and some of it comes with a hefty price tag, some of it is just from like I don't know, like uh maybe it's even just like your local five and dime. See how old I am. I said five and dime. But like if you like it and you have an emotional reaction to it, I don't think you can put a price on it. And this is very cool. I'm looking at his art, his art's good.

Speaker 4 42:34

Yeah, and you get a recipe which is inspired by that month's artwork, yeah, which is kind of cool.

Speaker 2 42:39

I also see JJ that you can gift a membership, so maybe you should bring me get you should gift me a little mem.

Speaker 1 42:46

Yeah, probably. Yeah, you behave.

Speaker 2 42:48

Oh, catch up. You can also catch up on previous prints, Megan. Yeah, I see that.

Speaker 1 42:53

Yeah, no, that's everything is designed like price. Yeah, yeah. I think that everything is like what I've from what I've seen, everything is designed and feels very like intentional, like even the messages that he puts, it's more like a you know, you need to slow down, it's like more about like mental health. And uh I I just love the the inspiration behind it, and I'm like, why us not bringing like a small business like this, a small idea with a bigger heart, and um promote Danny? I love that the DRU membership.

Speaker 2 43:24

And you know, it's always nice to look forward to something that you know that's gonna come in the mail every month, yeah. Like a subscription, and this but some of those subscriptions you get are dollars a month. That's great. That's not the only thing that freaks me out a little bit is the Danny Penev um true crime hearer.

Speaker 1 43:41

You know how like you are like trying to twist that.

Speaker 2 43:44

Well, you know how you like if you're the killer and you send a letter, you cut out the letters out of a magazine and you still like his name is written like that. It's like I'm Danny Peniv, and the D is from the people magazine, and the A is from

Speaker 1 44:00

To be a little clear, I'm just saying.

Speaker 4 44:01

Yeah, and I think it's meant to show you.

Speaker 2 44:03

I know you guys, you don't have I get it, but it speaks to me on a different level.

Speaker 4 44:09

I hear you. I noticed that.

Speaker 2 44:11

I'm gonna sign up a hundred. I love it. And Danny Pennev.

Speaker 1 44:15

Let's reach out to Danny. I love it. Dear You Mail Club.

Speaker 2 44:19

That's a great idea. That is great, JJ. I am also anticipating now.

Finland Happiness And A J.Crew Collab

Speaker 4 44:23

Well, that kind of ties into my slip it in.

Speaker 2 44:27

Oh.

Speaker 4 44:28

So my slip it in will not seem like it's tied in, but it's Finland. Oh, but well, we Danny might ship to Finland. Well, he does. He ships worldwide, but it's an uplifting story. It's full of heart.

Speaker 1 44:45

Do you have a quote?

Speaker 4 44:46

Well, Finland was just voting as the ninth year in a row as the happiest country.

Speaker 1 44:52

Oh, I don't know about that. I've heard that.

Speaker 4 44:54

I'm 25% finished.

Speaker 1 44:56

Oh.

Speaker 4 44:57

So I'm 100% finished.

Speaker 2 45:02

Yes. Like done. All right, happy girl.

Speaker 4 45:05

Well, I am typically very happy, and the doctor always says, like, you always wake up happy. You're never like wake up in a bad mood.

Speaker 2 45:12

I am so grumpy. She is. I will say that about her. She's always in a good mood. Which makes me even in a worse mode. Well, it's because I'm finished. It's because of your 25%. I love it.

Speaker 4 45:27

Finns report an average life evaluation score of 7.764 out of 10, which is well ahead of most other countries. Nine years in a row and counting the happiest country in a row.

Speaker 2 45:39

So yeah. Well, I don't think the US is gonna like be challenging for that spot anytime soon.

Speaker 4 45:46

No, but the Finns, the Finns here in America, we're gonna try and spread our happiness.

Speaker 1 45:51

I'm just saying. I'm with you in that.

Speaker 4 45:53

Yeah. So, well, maybe this is better spin for you. I'll go to a pull it out. Let's take it down a notch. My pull it out is, and I hate to say this because you know I'm a big fan.

Speaker 2 46:06

And you like to stay happy.

Speaker 4 46:08

Yeah. There is a new collaboration that J. Crew is doing. And normally I love a J.Crew collab because I love J. Crew, and most of their collabs I'm all for.

Speaker 1 46:17

It's summer's coming, and J. Crew has one of the best shorts.

Speaker 4 46:21

I know you love their shorts. We're all J. Crew fans, but it's something I'm not a fan of. They're doing a collaboration with Lee jeans. And Lee jeans are just not some jeans I want to wear. Bring me some Gloria Vanderbilt or bring me something like.

Speaker 2 46:38

You know what? Maybe they'll turn them cool.

Speaker 4 46:40

I'd even like a Jordan Ash. But not. What about a Wrangler? Wranglers, I I'd like a Wrangler. They're more Wranglers that the Cowboys are wearing. Like I can get into a Wrangler. Not a Lee. I wonder Wranglers on the same thing. No, Wranglers' a higher level.

Speaker 2 46:55

I agree. Especially within the country music scene and the country. But I wonder if this Lee collab, if they're gonna reach out to my dad.

Music Pick Ray And New Hope

Speaker 4 47:03

Why does he wear Lee Jeans? Oh my god. I love it. So I'm sorry, J. Crew. I love you still, but this Lee Jean collab, I'm not here for it.

Speaker 1 47:13

My Slip It In artist that I've lately been very obsessed with, is Raye. She's a singer-songwriter, British artist, Raye. I mean, the music that she's putting out, um, like the way that her style, like her vocals are amazing. Um, you know, one of the things that I when I was like trying to get my slip it in and I was like was reflecting on her, something that I actually learned is that she was actually signed up, signed to a label early on in her career in UK. No, they told her that she could not get an album out. Oh, the only thing that she could actually have at a have have out was just singles. You know why I started searching for that? We were talking about her, and you were asking me, like, does she have an album out? And I'm like, no, all she's got is singles. Oh, and that's why? That's why. Oh, and so she decided to go independent after that. And the year that she got the independent, like, no labels, she won six British awards like on a row. So kind of that proof.

Speaker 2 48:22

I love her new song. Uh where's my husband? I say no.

Speaker 1 48:26

Nightingale.

Speaker 2 48:27

Yes, yeah, it's like five minutes long. It's so good. I don't think I've heard it. It feels like an experience more so than a song. Like you go on this journey.

Speaker 1 48:35

Yeah, and she got very like famous too with a song Oscar Went in Tears or something like that.

Speaker 2 48:42

Yeah, I love that song.

Speaker 1 48:43

Yeah, so I I'm obsessed with Raye.

Speaker 2 48:45

I love it.

Speaker 1 48:45

Um, you haven't heard anything from her? She's coming up with an album uh this fall. Look at what the title of the album is This Music May Contain Some Hope. So I'm bad.

Speaker 4 48:56

Wow, I love it. We're really ending on this uplifting hope love story.

Speaker 1 49:00

Well, I haven't went yet.

Speaker 4 49:03

The Finn in the room will still be happy.

Speaker 1 49:05

Um I pull it out. It's an unannounced smoke detector, detector, like Sherping.

Speaker 4 49:13

Oh, I know. That is a pull it out times five.

Smoke Detector Chirps And Water Takes

Speaker 1 49:17

I wish somebody would invent like a little light that tells me in a week this is gonna start.

Speaker 4 49:26

I agree. 100% just turn a light into a weird blue color and I notice it.

Speaker 1 49:32

Tell me, because that's the one battery that I don't remember.

Speaker 2 49:35

And they're the square ones. Yes. So here's the thing like one, I always say, if you said I wish somebody would invent it, that's an opportunity. Yeah, you're filling a void. Yeah. Two, why do they always go off at 3 30 in the morning?

Speaker 4 49:52

Always in the middle of the day.

Speaker 2 49:54

Why can't you have this happen at 5 30 p.m.?

unknown 49:57

Yes.

Speaker 2 49:58

No, 3 a.m.

Speaker 1 49:59

Then it's the one in your laundry room that starts the whole thing.

Speaker 2 50:03

But you don't know that right away. You think it's the other five of them until you determine it's the laundry room.

Speaker 4 50:09

Exactly. It's the it's the most annoying thing ever.

Speaker 2 50:12

I'm glad that it's not a pull out.

Speaker 4 50:13

Finn finished girl. I'm on board. I'd like to see you when that goes off.

Speaker 2 50:19

I'm glad you are.

Speaker 4 50:21

That's when I wake up unhappy.

Speaker 2 50:23

There is a time you discovered it. They don't have smoke detectors in Finland, I bet. I sure they probably don't.

Speaker 4 50:28

They probably don't have them all connected like we have them in the US. So if one goes off, every other one in the house goes off.

Speaker 1 50:35

You know what? Before you go, Maddie, yeah. A slip it in is when a pull out. Oh no, you have to unanimous.

Speaker 2 50:41

Oh, that's okay. Like when you all agree with the pull out. We immediately like I lit up.

Speaker 1 50:46

I'm like, wow. Yes. You're like, thank you, JJ, for bringing this up.

Speaker 2 50:51

In fact, I will say, I think both of you did really good with both of your slip it ins and pull it outside. Mine are so shitty.

Speaker 4 50:58

Oh, really?

Speaker 2 50:58

Mine are just blah. I don't know why. We'll shoot you on. My slip it. Thank you. My slip it in. And this just seems so ordinary now, but it's room temperature water.

Speaker 1 51:14

Oh, I do. How do you feel? I like it.

Speaker 2 51:17

I don't like. So I debated whether to put this in my pull it out or my slip it in. Because it could be framed both ways. My pull it out could have been cold water. Drinking water. Drinking water. I'm not talking about swimming or showers or anything like that. I don't like to drink cold water. How do you guys feel about cold drinking? I mean, I want my water. You know, JJ, all of those bottled waters are in the floor. Room tap. I don't put them in the fridge. I don't like it.

Speaker 4 51:46

I wish you would, but I'm a cold water drinker.

Speaker 2 51:49

Didn't you? You've never asked me about it. I'll do it. Why do you like your well? Yeah. I don't like I don't it hurts my throat, to be honest.

Speaker 1 52:00

You have a sensitive throat?

Speaker 2 52:02

Clearly. Like I can't.

Speaker 4 52:04

I wonder what caused that. Now I'm paying the price. All right. So I don't know. I think I'm not on board with that.

Speaker 2 52:17

You're not.

Speaker 4 52:17

No.

Speaker 2 52:18

Well, it's yours. That's not a UNAM.

Speaker 4 52:20

Yeah, it's not a UNAM.

Group Text Invites And Vague Replies

Speaker 2 52:22

All right. Might pull it out. I think this might might get you. I think you can get JJ. Is an ambiguous text replies to an invite. Love it. Here's what I'm gonna say. I find more and more these days. I am right now. I find more and more these days. You have a group text, right? And you have an idea of a-cause I'm already put it on mute. Tell me when you're telling me when you're done. And you have an idea of a gathering. Maybe it's an invite to your house. Maybe it's an invite to an occasion.

Speaker 1 52:58

I see what you're coming.

Speaker 2 53:00

What happens? It goes out, and then somebody is like, Oh, I can make a clever little comment. And there somebody makes a comment.

Speaker 1 53:08

And then there's like we've been in those groups.

Speaker 2 53:10

Yeah, there's like a back and forth about that joke. And then as the person, I'm like, do I need to come back in and say, well, what about the invite? And then eventually the next day, I might follow up and be like, So is anyone in? And then crickets, and like maybe one person will text you on the side, and I'm like, what do I do now? I sent this to six people. I got one person on the side said I'm in. The group text went down a left hand.

Speaker 1 53:37

That's typically what happens in a group chat. That's why you put that either in a block or a mute.

Speaker 2 53:42

Jade, well, well, then you're gonna mount your invites, and that's why. And you're also part of the problem. Like, why can't people be like, I'm interested, count me in, or I'm out. I I'm not, I've fucked it up here and there, but I typically will try to clarify my position on the invite. Me too. Sometimes I'll wait for somebody else to do it first. Agreed. But I have a lot of messages in which it went nowhere. Someone threw out an invite and nothing happened, myself included.

Speaker 4 54:13

Sometimes when I see, if especially if it's a group text where an invite has gone awry and in suited other stuff, I sometimes will bring it back around for help for that original person doing the invite.

Speaker 2 54:26

You're doing an assist, I appreciate.

Speaker 4 54:28

Or other times I am guilty of going to the person who sent the invite and saying, hey, look, I don't know what's going on.

Speaker 1 54:36

Oh, I'm out. Yeah. I've done that. Like an in like a one-on-one.

Speaker 4 54:40

I just take it one on one to them. I appreciate. Um, but like you know what I'm talking about. Oh, I know. I involved.

Speaker 2 54:47

The invite goes out and immediately someone's like, I've got the most clever comeback. And then you've lost control within seconds.

Speaker 4 54:54

Because then everyone's doing their funny little comments the whole invite.

Speaker 2 54:57

So we're not going bowling. Well, for me, that's a month later. No, like, so I guess that wasn't in on my bingo cards.

Speaker 4 55:05

I'm all out for bowling. Okay.

Speaker 2 55:07

Yeah, 100%.
