Cold Open And Introductions

Speaker 1 0:04

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

Speaker 2 0:23

Welcome, welcome, welcome, everyone. We are back, slipping it in with you. I'm Megan, and as you can hear, I'm having some vocal issues. So I feel okay.

Speaker 5 0:35

I I like it. I think it sounds sexy. I'm Matty. Hi, slippers.

Speaker 4 0:40

Hi, and I'm probably your favorite. I'm JJ. Oh boy.

Speaker 5 0:45

Okay, well, um, so JJ. Yes. The slipper's favorite. Do you remember back when you introduced your obsession with Danny Penev?

Speaker 3 0:55

Oh, yeah. Danny. DRU.

Speaker 5 0:58

He created this mailing list, subscriber list. He would send out a monthly letter, piece of original artwork. I think a recipe. I got a recipe. Yeah, just a recipe, yeah. Okay. So so that's the stickers and such. Yeah, I got a um postcard.

Speaker 4 1:16

Oh, yeah, I go.

Speaker 5 1:17

Nice. So I got a letter because I signed up for it. It's like nine dollars.

Speaker 4 1:22

Love that. Yes. I know you upset.

Speaker 5 1:24

Go.

Speaker 4 1:24

It's a slip it in of mine when I know it is. What is it?

Speaker 5 1:29

When you introduce something, and one of us are like trying to love it.

Speaker 4 1:35

And then either you or me here, like whenever you like you introduce me to this. I'm like, is that the best thing?

Speaker 5 1:43

So uh I no, I love that. So I got my first one, and I know you were obsessed with it, and I'm telling you, you have good reason to be obsessed with it. Okay, tell me more. I'm gonna read an excerpt. Bear with me. It's about April, which we're in. Yeah, dear you. April always feels like another beginning to me. It's the month where the world slowly starts waking up again, and much like us, it's confused. One day it's sunny and hopeful, the next day it's gray and raining again. Even the trees don't quite trust the warmth yet. I use April as a reset to look back at what survived the winter and decide what grow what gets to grow next. It also happens to be my birthday month. Happy birthday, Danny. Yeah, happy birthday. Which is my which in my family can only mean one thing. We have to get a strawberry shortcake from our local grocery store. For everyone's birthday, not just mine, we always buy the same one. We we first got it when I was a kid, and for reasons no one can explain, we never stop. The first bite, fully fluffy, sweet, and nostalgic in a in a the way only grocery store frosting can be. After about three seconds, however, it leaves that unmistakable artificial film in your mouth, that kind that makes you sip water before taking another bite. And yet we keep getting it. Strawberry, there's a little bit more I'm skipping. Strawberries don't grow in glossy red vases, much less with theatrical looping vines that suspend a single fruit in the air. The whole scene is impossible and fantastical. Maybe that's what maybe that's what growing up feels like. Finding ways to bloom in environments that feel unfamiliar. Here's two strawberries that don't follow the rules, birthday cakes we refuse to outgrow, and April's that let us begin again, even if it's awkward. Isn't that nice? And so this is the piece of art is a strawberry that he makes, original piece. Uh, it's like a four by six, and it's a strawberry on a vine in a vase, which you know is the visual expression of his letter. And it's great. I put that in a frame, right?

Speaker 4 3:58

Yeah, 100%.

Speaker 5 3:59

I think it's great for April because God knows our April here and probably across the country, but here in Michigan, it's been dicey, it's been great, it's been rainy, it's crazy, tornadoes, all the things.

Speaker 6 4:10

Yeah.

Speaker 5 4:11

So thank you, JJ, for turning me onto that. It's a win-win because now you are beaming.

Speaker 2 4:17

Well, I question and wonder, like his strawberry shortcake seems to be different than the strawberry shortcake here in Michigan. Probably because he talks about frosting, and in Michigan, it's like more of like a biscuit or some type of cake, and then like more like a strawberry sauce on top with whipped cream. There is no frosting.

Speaker 4 4:40

I don't know. There is frosting on my strawberry shortcade in Spain. Yeah.

Speaker 5 4:45

Oh, really? I don't know. Mine has always had whipped cream. Yeah. And strawberry is on my feet. And like a biscuit of some sort or a cake. I always put milk on. I used to put milk on. Oh, wow. That's just divisive. Also, I got a strawberry jam cookie recipe, which JJ, full circle, I'm gonna gift to you. Oh, thank you. So that you can make those if you want for Christmas cookies.

Speaker 2 5:11

I feel like I already know that recipe.

Speaker 5 5:13

Oh, you don't? No, you don't. That's Danny's recipe.

Speaker 2 5:16

Strawberry jam.

Speaker 5 5:17

Well, this is Danny's.

Speaker 4 5:19

Probably similar to my raspberry jam.

Speaker 5 5:21

It's his proprietary recipe.

Speaker 2 5:23

Okay. Well, we'll see.

Speaker 4 5:25

I love that. I mean, I love strawberries. Strawberries are my favorite fruit.

Speaker 5 5:29

Really? Really? Yeah.

Speaker 2 5:31

That's surprising. Yeah.

Speaker 5 5:33

I don't know. You know, they're also the dirtiest fruit FYI. You gotta clean them.

Speaker 4 5:39

I like a little dirty.

Speaker 2 5:40

Speaking of differences and recipes, we have kind of a major like shout out to us. Oh, because Hershey's is changing its recipe back to the original Reese's recipes.

Speaker 4 5:57

After our tasting?

Speaker 2 5:58

After I think our tasting, our commentary, and probably a little bit due to Brad Reese and going so public with his like commentary that the new Reese's are unedible. So shout out to us. Thank you, Hershey's.

Speaker 5 6:17

We appreciate it because thanks for listening to us.

Speaker 2 6:19

Yeah, I mean, I kind of agree with Brad. The new recipe was not good. Yeah.

Speaker 4 6:24

So I am I I love that. I am not a good or big proponent of an update.

Speaker 5 6:32

Oh, we know you say this all the time, and let yet you.

Speaker 4 6:36

But I do have an agenda update.

Speaker 5 6:38

Oh, you do. Okay, well then maybe that's a way to end up.

Speaker 4 6:41

JJ is saying the update is acceptable.

Speaker 5 6:43

I'll done.

Speaker 4 6:44

All right. So Nutella, which is one of my favorite spreads, and is a hazelnut spread.

Speaker 2 6:51

Yeah.

Speaker 4 6:52

Which hazelnut is on my top of my of my top three nuts.

Speaker 2 6:56

I know.

Speaker 4 6:57

Regardless of anybody's opinion, hazelnuts are have my heart.

Speaker 2 7:01

I like a hazelnut, but it is a questionable.

Speaker 4 7:04

It's a hazelnut spread.

Speaker 2 7:05

Yeah, and I like Nutella.

Speaker 4 7:07

And I I love me some hazelnut flavor. That's not the point. The point is that Nutella actually came up with a new product, and it's a Nutella peanut butter uh spread. So it's hazelnut and peanut butter together. Oh, interesting. Okay, where is it?

Speaker 5 7:24

Did you bring it to me?

Speaker 4 7:25

I didn't bring it.

Speaker 2 7:25

Oh, I would like to try it. Sounds like we're gonna have a second update.

Speaker 4 7:28

Yeah. Yes. I just saw it on a commercial this week, and I'm like, oh, I need to get it.

Speaker 5 7:32

Oh, I thought you saw it on the spaceship. No, I didn't know it. It wasn't this.

Speaker 2 7:38

Yeah, but I don't think that was a peanut. I think that was traditional. It was just a traditional Nutella.

Speaker 4 7:42

With you know, Nutella is worldwide. It is as well.

Speaker 2 7:46

And I love when I go to Europe, they always seem to give you Nutella, and I'm like more than peanut butter. Yeah, this is kind of a little bit more.

Speaker 5 7:52

I don't know that I've ever even tasted it, to be honest.

Speaker 2 7:54

Really? It is so good.

Speaker 4 7:56

And a toast, a little spread of Nutella is and if you put Trader Joe's has this guava spread. I don't know if you've seen it. Guava spread? Oh I don't know if you've I love guava. I think so. You put a little thin sli like layer of Nutella. No, a slice of bread. Oh, okay. A little thin layer of Nutella and a little thin layer of Wava paste. It's delicious. I love it.

Speaker 5 8:22

Anyway, that's it. That was the update on it. Expect a taste test up in here, up in here.

Fan Mail And The Make Your Bed Rule

Speaker 4 8:28

So that is not it. I have another update. So it's just like from zero to a hundred. Double whammy. I love it. I I just have to tell you guys, I just had I just had this week I have my first fan mail.

Speaker 8:41

Oh, I love it.

Speaker 4 8:43

Uh it was so funny because I I woke up to this box from Amazon, and I when I opened it, it was like from a previous uh slip it in that I used about like I just love the feeling and the enjoyment of making my own bed in the morning.

Speaker 5 8:59

I was up as well.

Speaker 4 9:01

And and so to your point, Matty, you were the one that brought it up to me during that slip it in time that there was this Admiral um Yeah, it was William speech. So yeah, so Admiral William McRaven and his commencement speech on the University of Texas at Austin.

Speaker 5 9:22

Okay. I'm glad you brought this up because in that moment your slip it in sparked that memory, but I couldn't remember his name or the the college.

Speaker 4 9:31

So well, this the slipper remembered the name, found the book and sent me the book. Shut up Make Your Bed. So it's called Make Your Bed? It's called Make Your Bed. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's called Make Your Bad. So it is like in on the speech, he said that if you want to change the world, start by making your bed. The idea is simple. You accomplish one small thing first thing in the morning, and it sets the tone for everything.

Speaker 5 9:57

I mean, that's like everything we were saying. Pretty much. But here, so how so weird. I don't know.

Speaker 4 10:03

I probably have a stalker.

Speaker 5 10:04

I mean, because your addresses are not out there. So it must be someone close to you. You don't know who it is.

Speaker 4 10:10

Yeah, because it says JJ and that's my nickname. Like my mom and dad was like, oh, he's gonna be called JJ. No, that's not my first name. So that person knows what my name is.

Speaker 5 10:21

But you go by JJ on this pod. Correct. So a listener. Okay.

Speaker 4 10:26

So that's why, like when I saw it, I was like, oh wait, it's somebody that knows me by JJ. So it's a slipper.

Speaker 2 10:32

Well, they can find it. I mean, our address is available.

Speaker 4 10:36

Well, should I opt my security then?

Speaker 2 10:38

I think maybe. You need security.

Speaker 4 10:39

No, but but if they send me stuff like that, I'm open to it.

Speaker 5 10:43

Well, I got some shit too.

Speaker 4 10:45

You did? I did too. You did.

Speaker 5 10:47

So, but could it be the same stalker? I don't know. We'll talk more about it a little bit later. Different taste. Okay. Well, I also got some product and we're gonna taste it. Well, we did taste it. We're gonna talk about it later. Oh, you are?

Speaker 4 11:03

Okay, I love that.

Economy Bunk Beds In The Sky

Speaker 5 11:06

Okay. We are now going to talk about airplanes. Have you guys seen the New Zealand flights that are now offering a bunk bed? It's called Nests. Yes.

Speaker 4 11:24

I have not seen it.

Speaker 2 11:25

Well, they're actually called Sky Nest.

Speaker 5 11:27

Sky Nest? Yes. Like a little bird nest up in the air. I feel like let me tell you what they are. Okay, so it is bunk beds in an airplane in economy. So we're not talking this is not a situation where it's business class upgrade or first class, it's economy. These planes have six bunk beds. A set of three, a set of three. One, two, three. So there's you could be bottom bunk, upper bunk, middle bunk.

Speaker 4 11:59

Do you want are you gonna have space for follow up? Do you want follow-up questions in immediately or just I want you in a minute? Because I have some questions.

Speaker 5 12:07

Okay, so it's already sparking thoughts. Uh one second, because I gotta get you gotta know you at least gotta know the price tag. Yes. Okay, yeah, and the time. So and also these are six uh six feet five inches long, and they're narrow like a twin bed. Okay, more like a massage table, actually, than a twin bed.

Speaker 4 12:28

Okay.

Speaker 5 12:28

Okay. And you pay um $495 in New Zealand cash, and that's like $291-ish dollars American, and you get it for four hours. So if you let's just say hypothetically, you're on a 12-hour flight, you're in your seat, you can book a four-hour session, and when your time is up for whatever time you've booked it, you would get an alert, I guess. I don't know if your phones are working. You either get it on your phone or the flight attendant would tap you on the shoulder.

Speaker 2 13:01

It's probably not on your phone, but it's it's a light or something.

Speaker 5 13:05

Yeah, and you get up, and in front of everybody else, you go and crawl into bed.

Speaker 4 13:12

That is your signal, you have to get out.

Speaker 5 13:14

Yeah, get in.

Speaker 4 13:15

Get in.

Speaker 2 13:15

Oh, there's gonna have to be a get out, too, because it's only for four hours.

Speaker 5 13:20

Yeah, someone would have, I mean, if you fall hypothetically, if you fall asleep, someone's waking your ass up. Yeah, I would do it 100%. Open for questions. Open.

Speaker 2 13:28

I'm I don't know if I'd do it. I feel like I might put that money towards an upgrade to like a business class seat because I feel like four hours, I don't know. And like when you get your four hours at the beginning or at the end, because there's also rules in there, no snacking. And I don't like that.

Speaker 4 13:48

That's weird. Oh, you're sleeping.

Speaker 2 13:50

Well, maybe you aren't sleeping. I mean, if it's the beginning of the flight, maybe you're not tired, you know, you're just chilling out. And do they have the TVs? Can I restart my movie right from where I stopped when I left my TV? Oh, that is a good question.

Speaker 4 14:03

I don't know. I don't think there's TVs. Because I would require the TV.

Speaker 5 14:07

The idea is, and I could be wrong because I don't know all the facts, but I think the idea is they're creating an environment for sleep, not for snacking, not for watching movies. So if it's if you're snacking and watching movies, then this isn't for you. Wow. So can you or maybe you want to play around with yourself? Well, I said it. Well, some people have this desire to have the mind open cloud.

Speaker 2 14:31

Everyone can hear it's not that cold. Hold on.

Speaker 4 14:35

You can be quiet.

Speaker 5 14:37

You can rub one off very quietly. Yes, stop. Yeah, we're gonna be able to do it. You can be quiet 100%. I mean, and they're changing the shape.

Speaker 2 14:49

You've got someone above you or below you, which makes it even more exciting. It makes it this is a no, a pull it out for me.

Speaker 5 14:57

Oh my god.

Speaker 2 14:59

I don't want those shenanigans taking place that close up.

Speaker 4 15:02

Your voice is going to be strange.

Speaker 2 15:04

Well, now you know what happened.

Speaker 5 15:05

I don't have it. You can just pop around.

Speaker 4 15:08

So I'm the only concern I have is like I am, for example, I'm six feet.

Speaker 5 15:12

Okay, we got five inches left to fit in there.

Speaker 4 15:15

No, it's oh, it's five.

Speaker 5 15:17

Six foot, five inch.

Speaker 4 15:18

Oh, five inch.

Speaker 5 15:20

So you're I mean, you could stretch those toes and still be okay.

Speaker 4 15:26

You thought it was five, six?

Speaker 5 15:27

No. Oh, Jesus, JJ. You thought you had to be if you were taller than five foot, you're fucked.

Speaker 3 15:32

Yeah.

Speaker 5 15:33

That's it. Uh well, someone like the guy's booking that shit.

Speaker 2 15:37

Well, someone like the doctor who's tall, it's not really but I'm not sure.

Speaker 4 15:42

Well, to your point, Megan, it's like if the doctor looks at the pots, they're like, I'm not gonna even be comfortable there. So I might as I might as well just spend the money on business if you're gonna be more comfortable about that. Upgrade your significant other.

Speaker 5 15:58

If you really think about it, very important. Does anyone ever sleep fully stretched? Like, I my knees are bent all the time. On this you sleep on the side, you bend your knees.

Speaker 4 16:10

You know that I am like a mummy. Like I go in, I sleep on that same position, I wake up on the same side.

Speaker 5 16:16

It's like you would like it then.

Speaker 4 16:18

I hate flying, period.

Speaker 5 16:20

Three and you can sleep through four hours a month.

Speaker 4 16:22

I've never slept on my any of my flights. So I don't know. So you haven't been able to lay down. A TV will be a requirement. 100%.

Speaker 2 16:31

Well, because even if you aren't gonna fully sleep, if you're just chilling out, relaxing, you want to lie flat, I feel like you want a little TV action.

Speaker 5 16:40

So I'm feeling no, no, yes for me.

Speaker 4 16:44

I might be open to it. You're a maybe. I'm I'm a maybe.

Speaker 5 16:47

Well, wait till I just want to see space evolves because I bet like it starts out one thing, and over time, you know, maybe you'll get movie and a popcorn.

Speaker 2 16:56

Well, United is uh releasing something similar in economy, I've seen that where you can get the full role.

Speaker 5 17:04

Yeah, that's we talked about that, and I feel like I would look like a Kevin if I was doing that, which which I'm equating to a Karen.

Speaker 2 17:11

It's the same thing. Holy shit. The pods are the same thing.

Speaker 5 17:14

But I can pull my curtain on that pod. If someone sees me laying down in the full seat, taking up three seats. I don't know.

Speaker 2 17:21

It's just If it's a photo, hey, if it's a flight that's not very full, I have totally laid out three on the seats that they have.

Speaker 5 17:30

But I'm assuming most of the time that's not gonna be the case. It's gonna be like, oh, look at that Kevin buying a seat and the rest of the okay. Well, I feel like you think all the flights are full?

Speaker 2 17:39

Okay, well, well, it's the same difference with this. I feel like I don't know. I don't like the fact that I don't want to be the middle person and I don't want to be bottom, and I think I feel weird on top.

Speaker 5 17:50

Oh, well, no, I mean I just so I'm uh yes.

Speaker 4 17:58

I mean, if I were to have the money, I would just go with Air France um um meeting uh La Premiere.

Speaker 2 18:04

La premiere those things, if you haven't seen those, yeah.

Speaker 4 18:08

It's better than Delta One, I'll tell you that.

Speaker 2 18:10

Yeah, oh well, yeah, it's like your own little living room situation.

Speaker 4 18:14

Yeah, Jeff Lewis was talking about it on his show because yeah, it's just I mean, it's ten thousand dollars to fifteen thousand dollars. Is it one way each way?

Speaker 2 18:23

One way, yes, one way. Well, okay, but they come with two TVs, they come with a live flatbed and like an armchair, like a lazy boy armchair.

Speaker 5 18:32

For 15k, they better for $200, I could use just a pillow.

Speaker 2 18:36

And a Michelin five-star chef that cooks your food.

Speaker 4 18:39

Love it. Yeah, there was one episode now I'm thinking about that. We had that if we were to have money not being an issue at all.

Speaker 5 18:49

Right.

Speaker 4 18:49

And I think that you had you were asking for a back thrasher, back scratcher. I was, I would just do uh La Premiere.

Speaker 2 18:56

La Premiere was to go to the grocery store.

Speaker 4 19:00

No, like I just that's the only thing that I would say is like this type of like luxury type of flight, I would not do it like Detroit to New York.

Speaker 2 19:08

No, well, it's not even offered.

Speaker 4 19:10

Oh, it's not.

Speaker 2 19:10

No, it's for your long flight.

Speaker 4 19:13

It's not gonna be for my regional.

Speaker 2 19:15

And they think I think with Air France, those flights are only on the ones going in and out of Paris. So it's like New York, Paris, LA, Paris, like your long haul flights.

Speaker 5 19:25

No, on the regional jets, but just so you know, you guys good on this? Because I got a lot of people.

Speaker 2 19:30

Well, yeah, these regional jets are trouble.

Speaker 5 19:33

Well, let's hope. Well, so I guess the the people flying regional jets might be a little sketch. Have you have you? I'm sure maybe you've heard on the news about the Southwest pilots that are regional jets. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or it was Reagan International Airport.

Speaker 4 19:52

Andy and John were talking about it. Oh, really?

Speaker 5 19:54

I saw this on the Today show. So this is legit. I'm gonna play the clip for anyone that might not have heard. Let me make sure my phone is turned up.

Speaker 4 20:02

Yeah.

Speaker 5 20:02

Oh, it wasn't. You need some technical essay. Okay, ready? I'm gonna play this. Let's see.

Speaker 20:07

Making some noise over the radio. I don't know. What do you call it? Well, I'm just gonna let you listen. Listen to this.

Speaker 4 20:22

They were doing Players.

Speaker 6 20:30

I love that. That's my favorite. Yeah, I don't know if you could hear all of it.

Speaker 5 20:35

First, the the first the guy's like, you gotta be more professional. And then they went, meow, meow, meow. And then and this is why you're still flying. No, it's illegal. Well, no. And then they said, This is why you're all you're flying RJs, which is ritual just.

Speaker 2 20:51

So he was like giving that kind of a lowdown, like you're not on like a major carrier like United, Air France, American, it's always thing doesn't matter.

Speaker 4 21:00

Like it's you have there are some specific stipulations that you have to follow.

Speaker 2 21:04

No, exactly. You're not supposed, you're supposed to be using it for professional talk. And if you're under 10,000 uh feet, no meow meows, you are not, you only legitimately are only supposed to have talk about landing and takeoff only. Correct. So I don't know.

Speaker 4 21:20

Oh, really? Yeah, like you're not gonna be able to do that. And they were under you are knowledgeable in that area.

Speaker 2 21:24

They were pilot's daughter, yeah.

Speaker 5 21:27

They were under the 10,000 feet.

Speaker 2 21:29

Oh, they were under, which you're like not supposed to be talking anything but like real pilot. Here's the thing.

Speaker 5 21:35

Like, I just cannot understand human behavior sometimes. Like whether you're a regional jet pilot or commercial airline pilot, it's a good you've got a good job, and you're probably very you're you're working your way to whatever for life, yeah. And you know everything is recorded these days. And like, why would you put your job at at risk to, I mean, go meow meow. Exactly.

Speaker 2 22:01

Meow meow. I was shocked when I heard it was Southwest. I thought it was like some Cessna pilots up there. They don't care. They're just doing it for fun. Like to know it was actually someone flying a major jet for a major airline is shocking.

Speaker 4 22:17

I actually thought to your point, I actually thought that it was like one of those charter planes. Oh, yeah, a charter jet or something.

Speaker 5 22:22

Well, now that you know it's Southwest, and like on the surface, it's kind of funny. But then at the same token, if you are like, think about it, there's hundreds of passengers back behind you, and you're doing meow meows and barking.

Speaker 4 22:36

I would not feel safe. Well, not all pilot. I'd be like, um meow. Yeah.

Speaker 2 22:41

My dad would never do it. Unless he took his job very seriously, which is like I use the standard, like you're a professional airline pilot, you're not up to shenanigans. Well, the FAA has opened an investigation out into this matter. So those guys might be in major trouble.

Speaker 5 22:58

Maybe only my channel. Yeah. Maybe their uh case is uh that it was like April this month that we're in, is national like pet day shit. On the 11th is national. Well, we missed it, but maybe it happened on the 11th.

Speaker 4 23:14

Maybe. I don't know.

Speaker 5 23:16

Well, 11th was National Pet Day. April 17th through the 23rd is National Pet ID Week. April 30th is Adopt a Shelter Pet Day. And listen to this the last Friday of every April is Hairball Awareness Day.

Speaker 4 23:31

Hairball Awareness because of the cats.

Speaker 5 23:34

You get a hairball. Is it cats or do people get hairballs? Well, I don't know. Like, yeah. Oh, hairballs. I don't have a cat.

Speaker 4 23:43

A hairball is I don't know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That they just licked their fur.

Speaker 5 23:48

So do you maybe, I mean, I don't know. It's a stretch, but I don't think so. I would use it as part of my testimony.

Speaker 4 23:55

Yeah. It is funny because like whenever I I think I've mentioned it on the pod before, I get like flying anxiety. But one thing that I always make sure that I listen to is that the first thing that the pilot is saying when you're sitting, like temperature, what the flight is going to be like. But I cannot imagine just sitting there and like the pilot's like, Meow.

Speaker 2 24:19

Well, the pilot wasn't doing it to the people.

Speaker 4 24:23

I know, but I'm not saying it's like instead of like welcome everybody, like this is what we're expecting.

Speaker 5 24:27

It's like, woof. Do you think they were in the same plane or different planes? Can you talk to other pilots?

Speaker 4 24:33

Yes. Yeah. They talk to them about turbulence.

Speaker 2 24:35

I feel like I don't, I mean, both of them could have talked in the same plane. Or they could have been. I thought it might have been different planes, but maybe they were just messing around the two of them. I don't know.

Speaker 5 24:47

But you heard the other control.

Speaker 2 24:50

Well, air traffic control can hear everything on those. Right.

Speaker 5 24:53

And he told them to shut up and they kept going.

Speaker 2 24:55

Exactly.

Speaker 4 24:56

Were they on their way to Coachella?

Speaker 2 24:57

Oh, probably.

Speaker 5 24:59

But maybe they were trying to circle Reagan and go back to Coachella.

Madonna’s Coachella Moment With Sabrina

Speaker 4 25:03

Let's just make it. They seem like a rave right here. Maybe. Exactly.

Speaker 2 25:07

Well, speaking of Coachella, it was a major Coachella weekend last weekend. The second weekend was the weekend to be there because surprise guest to everyone during Sabrina, Sabrina Carpenter's show. Madonna, let's hear it. Yes. Let's hear it from Miss Madonna.

Speaker 5 25:29

Yes. Uh, like a prayer.

Speaker 2 25:32

Yes. So, well, she came out with to Vogue.

Speaker 6 25:36

Yeah.

Speaker 2 25:37

So she came out to Vogue, which Sabrina sang with her. Then they sang a new song together, which no one had heard yet.

Speaker 4 25:45

Yeah, it's it's not released yet. It's but it will be in the new album.

Speaker 2 25:48

A new duet on Madonna's new album.

Speaker 4 25:50

Yeah.

Speaker 2 25:51

Confessions of a Dance Floor 2, right? Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 4 25:55

Yeah. Which was also an homage. This is the new song that she released that she didn't have to be.

Speaker 5 26:02

Wait, do we have rights to be playing this? Um listen.

Speaker 4 26:04

We're doing it with Madonna. All right.

Speaker 2 26:06

Madonna will come for us. But yeah, so, and then they ended the set with Like a Prayer, which they sing together.

Speaker 5 26:16

I would go ahead. Sorry. My bad. I wanted to say, do you think Gen Z cares about Madonna? Yes.

Speaker 4 26:22

I think so now. Yes. Because Sabrina brought it in.

Speaker 5 26:24

I do too, which was brill.

Speaker 4 26:26

Yes.

Speaker 5 26:27

Because I think before they're like, oh, okay, I've heard of her. I don't really know her. But now linking her to Sabrina is a perfect move.

Speaker 2 26:35

Madonna's always. And Coachella.

Speaker 5 26:37

She wore that same outfit that she came out with. They might have let it out a little bit. I'm not sure. But I think she looked amazing. Yeah. Her legs looked amazing. Her outfit was amazing. No. And they came out and she wore that same outfit.

Speaker 4 26:53

2006, Coachella.

Speaker 5 26:55

Coachella. 2006. Yeah. It's awesome.

Speaker 4 26:57

Yeah.

Speaker 5 26:58

So it made me.

Speaker 4 26:59

20 years later, matty.

Speaker 5 27:00

And she was taller than Sabrino. Yes. Which is a first for Madonna to perform with a shorter.

Speaker 4 27:06

But I love that you said that about like the Gen Z's because I remember like in the last episode, Chloe said, I think that you asked her about Michael Jackson's movie, and she's like, I am not, but now I think that I I'm always being a fan, and I've always been like interested about his music. And and she was into it. And I think that one thing that we've recognized about the new generations is that they actually bring in those eras, you know, back. And they're getting into that. So I think that that's what we're experiencing.

Speaker 2 27:35

I took it as Gen Z does care about it. Yeah. She didn't even know about it. So once I told her, it was like, oh, I do care.

Speaker 5 27:42

Everything old is not that they're old, but everything old is new again. Hello 90s. Yeah. Okay, what's your favorite Madonna song of all time? Really? That's my least favorite. That's a brand for JJ.

Speaker 4 27:57

Because bring them around. If you can see it, if you could see his shoulder shape. Oh my god, I love it. It's not like the best song, but every time he plays, I just have to like move a little bit.

Speaker 2 28:09

It's just something like uh she literally plays that song every concert. And I hate it.

Speaker 4 28:15

And I love that.

Speaker 2 28:16

It's my least favorite Madonna song. Really? And I I hate it. Yeah.

Speaker 4 28:21

It's my favorite. It's a strong word.

Speaker 5 28:23

I really do.

Speaker 2 28:24

Borderline. I love Borderline. I love Classic Borderline.

Speaker 5 28:29

No. No, but I feel like those two songs are on the same album. No? No, La Isla Bonita.

Speaker 2 28:35

La Isla Bonita came a lot later.

Speaker 5 28:38

Really? Yeah.

Speaker 2 28:38

Borderline was the first one.

Speaker 5 28:39

Borderline was the first album.

Speaker 2 28:41

That and Lucky Star. I just, it just, I love them both.

Speaker 5 28:44

I am Like a Prayer through and through. I just love it. I remember when This just in.

Speaker 4 28:51

La Isla Bonita is in True Blood and Borderland. True Blue. True Blue.

Speaker 6 28:56

Yeah. True Blood was an HBO show, but good try.

Speaker 4 29:00

True Blue. Um in 1986. Um and Borderline is nowhere to be found there.

Speaker 2 29:07

Oh, well, it was before I think True Blue might have been her second album, second or third.

Speaker 5 29:12

Um where was I? What was I saying?

Speaker 2 29:16

Something about Like a Prayer.

Speaker 5 29:17

Oh, yeah. Oh, I remember sitting on my couch and what in my parents' house, I remember, and it was brought to you by Pepsi. And I think it I don't there was a I don't remember the television program, but like a prayer premiered on TV, and it was so I don't know. People thought it was like blasphemy because there were burning crosses and blood coming a black priest with blood coming out of it. I'm like, oh my god, I love this. And um, and then they pulled it, and all this kind, you know, Madonna always, you know, any press is good press, controversy just made her skyrocket. I just but I love the song. It is a controversial.

Speaker 4 29:59

I think that she set a precedent with that song. Like it was just I for me, I can say like pre like a prayer, like a prayer and post like a prayer.

Speaker 5 30:10

I agree. I think that well, she was amazing at reading.

Speaker 4 30:13

Yeah, yeah, 100%. But I think that it was like it was a specific stage in her life that just set her.

Speaker 5 30:20

There's so many, like so many. I'm gonna slip it in an underrated song. This used to be my playground. I can't get it. Oh, I love that song too. I love it. That is such a good one. I just can't get enough of it.

Michael Jackson Songs And Movie Hype

Speaker 2 30:29

Yeah, that is. I mean, that's the thing with Madonna. There's so many amazing songs, like it's hard to pick one that you love. And I feel like that goes with a lot of our 80s artists. Shout out Michael Jackson, his movie premiere is Friday.

Speaker 5 30:45

Megan's giddy.

Speaker 2 30:46

I'm good. I can't wait. Yes, I can't wait.

Speaker 5 30:49

I think you've got tickets. Bring t-shirts, Megan.

Speaker 4 30:51

Bring t-shirts.

Speaker 2 30:52

I think that you've got to do it.

Speaker 5 30:53

I know she's already bought tickets for the premiere and the post-premiere.

Speaker 2 30:57

Yep, I've got already got tickets to see it twice in the next week. So I'm so excited. But yeah, it's I think Michael, you're gonna start hearing a lot more of his music. I know in the last few weeks, I've been in stores and I've heard a Michael song where I haven't heard a Michael song in a while. So I feel like now with the movie, there's gonna be a lot more Michael songs on it.

Speaker 4 31:17

And I feel that you brought on like car uh Carolyn Bessette's fashion. And I like our like younger generations are bringing in some of the fashions that we used to wear. Yeah. And I can see I've saw I've seen the penny loafers. Oh, the penny loafers are back. Oh, I've seen the back. I've seen the white socks with the penny loafers already. I've always liked that. Me too.

Speaker 5 31:40

Um, and I can I tell you, like this summer, people are gonna be getting some leather jackets and it's interesting because it's like everything 90s is current, but then Madonna and Michael are making a resurgence, so it's like 80s is gonna meld in with the 90s, I think, and it's just gonna be like excitement.

Speaker 2 32:00

I love it.

Speaker 4 32:00

Now, my question is do you have a favorite Michael Jackson song?

Speaker 2 32:04

This one's even harder than Madonna.

Speaker 5 32:07

I agree, it is harder.

Speaker 4 32:08

Honestly, do you remember? This is completely and I'm I'm asking a question with another question which I hate, but I I'm just curious because I know how big of a fan you are with Michael. And I'm just curious, do you remember the moment that you just said this? I just love this artist so much.

Speaker 2 32:26

I do, but I was much longer, younger than you might think. I used to watch the Jackson 5 commercial or cartoon that was out. Girl. Yeah, and I used to love Michael because he had all these pets around him all the time, and I'd be like, Oh, I love Michael so much. Fast forward to years later when I discovered him really again.

Speaker 4 32:47

So they were cradling you with this TV show.

Speaker 2 32:50

The cartoon, yeah. They had a cartoon of Jackson Five.

Speaker 4 32:53

That's crazy. That's what you love for Michael's.

Speaker 2 32:55

It started way earlier than Thriller or Off the Wall or any of his early stuff.

Speaker 4 33:00

What is your favorite song?

Speaker 5 33:02

Mine. I agree with Megan, it's really hard to choose. Um, but I'm gonna go with Remember the Time.

Speaker 2 33:10

Oh, that is a good one.

Speaker 5 33:12

Every time it comes on, I'm just like But again, I'm gonna go with this. I like to throw out one that maybe everyone doesn't know about. Like, listen to Earth Song. Oh just listen to Earth Song. Turn it up loud, and it's just very impactful for me. I mean, it's no, it's not gonna get me to dance, but it's gonna move me.

Speaker 4 33:39

So there's my I mean that's one of the songs that proves that Michael Jackson was so versatile as an artist. Like he was an excellent dancer, like his vocals and his shows were like out of this world.

Speaker 5 33:57

Yeah, and yeah, he also choreographed all his so he's like an amazing singer, choreography, choreographer, sorry, dancer, yeah, I mean fashionista, yeah, fashion icon.

Speaker 2 34:11

What's your favorite Michael song, JJ?

Speaker 4 34:14

My favorite Michael song, and even though I didn't have a he doesn't, even though uh black and white is like one of like very close, but I think that um Will You Be There from the movie Free Willy. Yeah, oh my god, that move that song makes me cry all the time, and again, it's like one of those songs that is like his vocals are so amazing, it's like out of this world. Like, who is this guy? Like it was just I remember, and I'm just getting shills thinking about this, because I remember being in my country, listening to Michael Jackson, going to the lyrics and trying to memorize it so that I could learn how to pronounce but you didn't know what the words meant. I didn't know, well, but I wanted to know how to pronounce the song right.

Speaker 2 35:12

Yeah, oh I love that.

Speaker 4 35:13

And it was because I love you know, I've said it, I love the water. So the combination of like freewheeling with orcas, it was I mean, I just I just remember right now that and it was just like beautiful, yeah.

Speaker 2 35:25

I love it because Michael touched people around the world. I vacillate between like dirty Diana and Smooth Criminal, but then I get really sad by like how do I forget about Man in the Mirror?

Speaker 4 35:41

I agree with so hard. What about Thriller? No, you don't with Billy Jean.

Speaker 5 35:49

Wow, Billy Jean. What's that other one that was out there that was very popular? Billy Dirty Diana? Yeah, no, dirty Billy Jean, and then Thriller and the other one. Beat it. Beat it. Im out beat it.

Speaker 4 36:03

I do I do have a friend that, and I don't know if this was intentional or not, Matty. You were with me.

Speaker 5 36:10

Oh boy.

Speaker 4 36:10

But they she walked down the aisle.

Speaker 5 36:13

Oh, I was there. Jesus Christ.

Speaker 4 36:15

With violins playing, beat it.

Speaker 5 36:19

Oh my god. I mean, I actually can get behind that, but that's an odd Michael's. JJ didn't clock it right away, and I elbowed him and I'm like, do you think this is appropriate? I'm like, beat it.

Speaker 2 36:33

With violines and everything. Yeah, but I love like, but no, it was no words, right? It was just No, it was not words.

Speaker 5 36:41

But I'm like, yeah, it's pretty recognizable.

Speaker 2 36:44

Well, I might, I might, well, I do a different Michael.

Speaker 5 36:47

Walking down the aisle. If you're if you didn't listen, this is a repeat, but Megan wants She's Out of My Life by Michael Jackson to be played at her funeral.

Speaker 2 36:55

Well, beat it. But beat it. I don't know. What do you beat it? I there's some other songs.

Speaker 5 37:01

Would you do Dirty Diana at your wedding?

Speaker 2 37:03

I would do I Just Can't Stop Loving You. Oh. But with uh just orchestra with just Orchestra's thing, yeah.

Speaker 5 37:13

Yeah, beat it to your wedding song. I just walking down the room.

Speaker 3 37:21

Like this seems Matty and I look at each other, it's like, is this really?

Speaker 5 37:24

And then you would you looked at we looked around the room and you could see other people are starting to pick up on it too, and they're like, that's weird. They're like looking at each other, like, and then they're starting to like the shoulders are shimmering, and so I'm like, no, it's excited. You've created a memory, that's for sure.

Move West And Bravo Summer Chaos

Speaker 2 37:39

This music talk has just got me all excited because I love Michael so much and Madonna. But let me tell you, I think I may have found the song of the summer. Like, let me tell you.

Speaker 5 37:52

It's a little early, isn't it?

Speaker 2 37:54

I know, but I've heard this song. Every time I listen to it, I get excited. Let's go.

Speaker 3 38:00

It's West. Is it this? Yeah, it's this. Oh, it's a right.

Speaker 2 38:13

Oh God, I love it. And if you haven't heard the song, it is becoming a viral hit. It's called Move West. It's a song by Giorgio Says. Now, Giorgio Says is like a media brand and hosts a podcast called Giorgio Says. He is a reality TV commentator. And he's like become a little bit of a media personality because he has an expertise on talking about Bravo TV franchises like the Real Housewives. And the song Move West, you have to go listen to it. It's on Amazon Music, Spotify, Apple, wherever you get your music. And it's basically a take on all the stuff happening. Scamanda from Summer House, which you all know I'm obsessed with. Every week there's something new. I can't get enough of it. It's been a big move, West. Yeah. It's oh see. You're in it. Like you can't help but get excited with this song. It's so good. And the lyrics. It's AI generated. I don't know, but the lyrics are so good because they're definitely like so keyed in on like West, who's be like kind of this, you know, gigolo type of guy. And it kind of like comes in, they're like, oh, you came in as a golden boy because he was this huge personality that people loved, and now it's like tarnished.

Speaker 4 39:41

But I wonder, Matty, to your point, like if he if they if if it's AI generated, and I don't know how like the copyright happens with AI now, but it's now in Apple Music and Spotify Apple. Right. Well, yeah, you can yeah, you can get the right thing.

Speaker 5 39:54

You can do all the right things. But I do think just in my opinion, it's a double entendre.

Speaker 6 39:59

Yeah.

Speaker 5 40:00

His name is West, and it's like, you know, like you move out west. Yeah. So I think they're trying to say, move, like, get off the show. Yeah. Move out of here. You're a mess, move west. I think you've got to.

Speaker 2 40:12

Well, and it's also catchy because the song goes move west to the left to the left. Right. Which is like California Get Out. Yeah. Well, and what's curious is I was just like on social media and I was alerted to this song because Kyle Cook, who is Amanda's. They're in the separation. We've talked about it. He is a DJ, and he was at Carl of Carl's a mess soft bar, which is a non-alcoholic bar, DJ-ing there, and he played the song.

Speaker 4 40:45

I kind of like the fact that Kyle played that.

Speaker 2 40:47

I love it. And he's like, it's a great song. And then Giorgio says is like, oh my God, thanks for playing my song on social media. And Kyle is like, uh, it's a it, you know, it hits.

Speaker 5 40:59

Certified hit.

Speaker 2 41:00

Well, it's catchy. It hits. Yeah.

Speaker 4 41:03

It might be the one with one hit run, uh, one hit wonder.

Speaker 2 41:06

Okay. Well, we'll see. I mean, right now, Move West.

Speaker 5 41:09

Yeah, Georgia.

Speaker 2 41:10

We'll track summer, the song of the summer.

Speaker 5 41:13

So you're on record. We have it here. Yes. This episode, you're on record for saying this you think will be the song of the summer because JJ and I think you as of now also new songs could come out.

Speaker 2 41:25

But right now, this is my favorite. So you're reserving the right.

Jiffy Pop Nostalgia And A Microwave Disaster

Speaker 5 41:29

Okay. Because I do love a conversation about Song of the Summer. Me too. And we had it already from last summer. And here we are. Time flies. Yes. All right. Remember earlier in the pod when I said to you I also got something from a slipper? Oh. Yeah. Remember in our podcast, I was talking about Jiffy Pop and how I got this weird like uh assimilation to when the parachutes came out of Artemis. We did a post on our Instagram. Yeah. And I was like, oh, that reminds me of Jiffy Pop. So I got in the mail four packages of Jiffy Pop. Horrible. I love that. Like when I say packages, they're like little things you witnessed it today for the first time. Because we pre-popped some Jiffy Pop. Yes. And I could not find it at the markets, but uh I got it. It came in an Amazon bag. I love it. So your stalker is clearly my stalker. So maybe Megan, next week you might get some Michael merch. I'm not sure. But people are finding us. They're finding us. They are finding us. But apparently, this Jiffy pop is available at Walmart, Amazon, Meijer, some Shop Rites, and by God, it's available at Menards.

Speaker 4 42:49

Menards is a Midwest.

Speaker 5 42:51

Can I? Yes, can I say something about Menards?

Speaker 4 42:54

Because we are global.

Speaker 5 42:55

We are global. I have been into a Menards all of one time.

Speaker 4 42:59

I've never been.

Speaker 5 43:00

I had never been either. But I was told, like I thought it was a Home Depot or a Lowe's. It is, but also with bedding.

Speaker 2 43:09

No, it has all sorts of stuff. You can buy bedding. It's kind of got a lot of stuff. Yeah. I can take you. There's a Menards down the street from my house. It's a mega menards. I'll take you.

Speaker 5 43:21

You will? Yeah. I'm not sure. We'll see. No, I'll but anyway, JJ. So it's kind of like not my current obsession, but it was pre-popcorn bags that these were available. So it took it was innovation, JJ. It was the only way you would have popcorn in the past was like you put well, maybe you could buy it in like a bag pre post pop, but no, you've made it in a stove. Popcorn air popcorn. No, I'm saying before there was microwave popcorn bags, you made it on a stove. This took it in like, oh I Don't have to buy the oil. I don't have to get, I don't have to make dishes, dirty my pot. Yeah, I would take this little thing and the foil would blow up. And as a kid, it was very exciting. You saw it, you tasted it. What do you think? It was for me a little nauseous.

Speaker 4 44:15

It was a little bit scary at the beginning seeing you trying to pop this Jiffy Pop.

Speaker 5 44:21

It had been a minute.

Speaker 4 44:22

Well, you were just scraping in this stove, and like it was it was burning. It wasn't burning.

Speaker 2 44:29

Well, JJ, we have some tea that you don't even know about. So you had every right to be scared.

Speaker 5 44:36

Oh, fuck.

Speaker 2 44:37

Oh fuck, I know that's when we were in college. Matty was at my house and he wanted microwave popcorn. And I'm like, oh, we don't have any. He goes, Oh, we can just take regular popcorn kernels and put them in a paper grocery store bag and just put them in the microwave.

Speaker 5 44:57

Which I still stand by to this day because you can't.

Speaker 2 45:00

I was I don't think you can say that because you want to know what happened. What happened? The whole microwave caught on fire. Like my parents' kitchen was about to go flaming.

Speaker 4 45:11

Well, there was a moment that I looked at Megan now and I was like, Megan, I think that this is gonna burn.

Speaker 2 45:16

No, he literally almost had my parents' kitchen in flames. Like the bag was flaming in the microwave. It did melt.

Speaker 4 45:23

Can you just own it for a second? I did.

Speaker 2 45:24

I didn't know. The whole microwave inside was all melted in a mess.

Speaker 5 45:28

But for the record, I have had several successful pops leading up to that debacle.

Speaker 4 45:36

Oh, so you tried it.

Speaker 5 45:37

Oh, this was yes. I was doing it nonstop. You were ready to go.

Speaker 2 45:41

I think there was something wrong with her microwave. Oh, I think you were using lunch bags, and this was a full-size paper grocery bag.

Speaker 5 45:49

Yeah, that is true.

Speaker 2 45:50

So it's a big difference.

Speaker 5 45:51

I'm coming clean.

unknown 45:53

Wow.

Speaker 4 45:54

So every right. I mean, I think that it was an is a good experience, and I can actually see if I were to be into camping, I would like it on a campfire.

Speaker 5 46:06

Don't you think as a child to see that tinfoil blow up?

Speaker 4 46:09

No.

Speaker 5 46:10

You don't think so. You don't think that would be fascinating to you?

Speaker 4 46:15

As a child. As a child.

Speaker 5 46:16

What were you okay?

Speaker 4 46:18

I mean, maybe, I don't know.

Speaker 2 46:20

Like I think it was cool as a child. And I was actually when it came out because it was innovative in that day.

Speaker 4 46:27

I do have to say that maybe not as a child, but when it popped, it did remind me of Artemis 2. See.

Speaker 5 46:35

Well, there you go. That's the whole thing. And I know that post didn't do as well as I had hoped. But I don't think everyone knew. So, like, let's do your research, people.

Speaker 4 46:44

Gee pop. Let's just try to keep the memories and the legacy going.

Speaker 5 46:50

Please. I think it could have a rebirth. Yes. What was old as new again? 80s, 90s, bring the.

Speaker 4 46:57

Jiffy, this is your opportunity.

Speaker 5 46:59

Oh my God. Do a partnership with Madonna. Oh. But slip it in. That's what I meant. Call me.

Slip It In And Pull It Out

Speaker 2 47:08

Well, with that, I think it's time for some slip it in and pull it out. Well, there we go.

Speaker 6 47:12

Yeah.

Speaker 2 47:13

Well, in my slip it in, I'm going to take us back to Scamanda Summer House. This is for anyone who loves Bravo TV shows this week. Well, sorry, last week, um, there was this crossover of Bravo TV shows that you never saw coming that just like made me laugh. So Kyle of Kyle and Amanda was spotted making out with Megan King Edmonds, who was a real housewife on Real Housewives of OC. And she is divorced now from Jim Edmonds, who used to play for the Cardinals. And so they were spotted on the streets of New York making out. I need a Venn diagram.

Speaker 4 47:57

And that's just slip it in.

Speaker 2 47:58

It just like it was like Is that it? Of all the people that I thought Kyle Cook might hook up with in the Bravo world. I give you that. It would never have been Megan King Edmonds. And the fact that it was is why you're happy.

Speaker 5 48:13

This is a slip it in.

Speaker 2 48:14

Yeah, I love a reality TV crossover.

Speaker 4 48:18

I do too.

Speaker 2 48:18

Off I do not.

Speaker 4 48:20

I cannot wait to hear what Andy has to say about this because he is a fan of Megan.

Speaker 2 48:24

Yes, he loves Megan. He loves Kyle. Yeah, it is like it is just You cannot get enough.

Speaker 4 48:31

You are in your fucking thing.

Speaker 2 48:32

Because everything, every week it's something new, and it keeps blowing my mind.

Speaker 5 48:36

Is that why you're losing your voice? And you're yelling at the TV constantly.

Speaker 2 48:40

Oh my God, what else is new here?

Speaker 5 48:43

I can't get enough. Oh, okay.

Speaker 2 48:44

Well, but all right, here's a pull it out that I think everyone can relate to. And it just happened to me the other day, and it just every time it happens, it makes me angry. When a server takes your drink and you have a sip left in it, God, I can't get enough. I just it makes me so Move West. Yes, move west 100%. I mean, I've I've stopped them literally before and I've said no, I'm not done. Oh, I've been there. Um, yeah, I know. Well, because I get aggressive because I'm like, it's one thing if you want to ask me. I remember that episode. If you want to ask me to take it, that's fine. But don't just grab it, and there's clearly, no, I agree, sometimes it's a little, but just don't ask if there's anything, you know, don't take it without asking if there's anything lacking.

Speaker 4 49:36

100%. 100%. And with that, I have to go in with my pull out because that is mine. I mean, I just have oh sorry, Matty.

Speaker 5 49:44

No, no, no. But you're flipping, you're slipping in.

Speaker 4 49:47

Because I am already fired up with Megan. I'll see. My pull out, Megan and Matty, is a timed dining experience.

Speaker 5 49:57

Say more.

Speaker 4 49:58

So I mean my friends, we just uh went to the Beverly here in Berkley.

Speaker 5 50:04

I've been to the Beverly.

Speaker 4 50:05

They gave us a time of an hour and 45 minutes for our dinner table.

Speaker 5 50:09

Yes, we had start to fan.

Speaker 4 50:11

Yeah. And you know, when you book that, you're like, they say it's an hour and 45 minutes. It's alright. They were up in our business constantly, taking our glasses out. Oh, trying to move you along. They moved our appetizers without even us noticing, because they had they the obviously they are in a time constrained type of thing, and they're like, they were up in their business about our drinks, and they were up in our business about our.

Speaker 5 50:38

It was just like You couldn't even enjoy your meal.

Speaker 4 50:40

No, like, and we were like with my friends, we're just trying to catch up. No, when you're trying to catch up, playing devil's advocate.

Speaker 5 50:49

I get it.

Speaker 2 50:49

Well, I understand. I'm just trying to I'm glad you brought this up because I like when we can approve that. I'm I'm not anti-Time.

Speaker 5 50:58

I think you're wondering if you're just in seek in search of validation. Probably, yeah.

Speaker 2 51:04

Let me say this.

Speaker 5 51:05

All right, I say it.

Speaker 2 51:06

I'm not necessarily against a time dining experience. You're not against well, I your experience that you had at the Beverly, I can identify with because I had a similar experience at the Beverly, but they gave us two hours, but we were there for four hours.

Speaker 4 51:21

Party of six is two hours.

Speaker 2 51:22

Yes, and we were a party of so you overstayed by two hours? Oh, because our food didn't come out for three and a half hours. It's and they weren't even Beverly is the problem. And they weren't even filling up our drinks timely. Like it was crazy, crazy. Yeah. I just I just think they've got pro they put the time dining experience out there, but then they can't follow it themselves.

Speaker 5 51:49

Sounds like Megan had a double pull.

Speaker 2 51:51

Well, no, it's the JJ.

Speaker 5 51:53

You're welcome.

Speaker 2 51:54

Yeah, I don't hear JJ talking.

Speaker 5 51:56

Well, I know. Well, I did my talking, but I I I don't give us your pause, the Tiv.

Speaker 4 52:03

My slip it in, and I know that it's probably a coming up slip it in for you, Matty, too, but I just finished it. Love on the spectrum. It gives me hope in relationships and seeing kind people, people that are completely unhinged and natural on their own environment. They just love and they are the unique perspective. I'm I'm I find myself crying and I find myself hoping for more every time I watch it.

Speaker 5 52:38

That's nice.

Speaker 4 52:39

And it just gives me again, I it just gives me so much hope.

Speaker 5 52:44

I have watched two episodes of season four. I've watched all the other seasons. Connor is my favorite. I just I this Logan.

Speaker 4 52:52

Oh Logan can't remember his producer's name. I tell you that.

Speaker 5 52:55

Okay, okay, Sean. And I'm like, no, that's not my name, but he, I mean, to your point, it you know what? I'm not I should educate myself as to what it is in the makeup of a person that I just wish we all had it to some extent, because it is true authenticity and kindness, yeah, and we all possess something else that is different, and therefore, I mean it's fine, it's all good, but it's just beautiful, like it's just beautiful to watch these individuals live such an authentic life and be so kind to everybody. And I laugh, I cry, I do all the things. So it will probably be. I'm only I got I hope I have a lot of episodes left. I don't know how it they're usually short seasons, but it's there are. I'm not gonna tell you everyone should watch it Netflix.

Speaker 4 53:48

Yeah, 100%.

Speaker 5 53:50

Any comments Megan? No, haven't seen it? No, I haven't watched it. You should start at season one. She had it off on my pull out. Hey, maybe you and I should make a deal. I'll watch an episode of Summer House.

Speaker 4 54:02

Oh, Summer House is my show.

Speaker 5 54:04

Oh, JJ. No, I thought what's this one with Scamanda?

Speaker 4 54:08

Southern No Summer House, but her favorite show is Southern.

Speaker 2 54:11

Southern Charm is my favorite.

Speaker 4 54:12

So pitched it for you a few episodes ago. She pitched Southern Charm. I pitched Summer House. Okay. With it in the world.

Speaker 5 54:21

Well, if I'm striking a deal with you, Megan, what would it take for you to watch an episode? Uh what should I watch?

Speaker 2 54:28

Oh, I I don't know. Okay. I mean, I have to I have to do something. Don't make me don't make me make you my bullet. Oh my god. I I yeah, I gotta think. Oh, yeah. Because I would probably say Southern Charm because Southern Charm is my all-time fave.

Speaker 4 54:44

But now Summerhouse.

Speaker 2 54:45

Summerhouse is really just taking the cake.

Speaker 5 54:50

My slip it in is very specific. I've seen this mat around for a while, and now that it's April, you change your mat M-A-T in front of your door from your winter mat to your spring mat. My favorite mat is a mat that says, everyone welcome here except Jolene. Jolene is Dolly Parton's song Jolene. Jolene. Jolene, please don't take my man. So it's so cute to me. Like if you come in like it already? Oh, I've seen it at The Rocket. Oh, you see. And I've seen it on Amazon. No, but it's listen, my address is Ferndale.

Speaker 4 55:46

Uh-huh.

Speaker 5 55:47

Send me. Everyone is welcome here except for Jolene. Do you get it? It's so cute. Man, yeah.

Speaker 2 55:55

It is single. No, you manifest what you want. So you manifest a man. But I mean And you don't want Jolene coming in and taking it.

Speaker 5 56:06

You don't want Jolene crying into I either way, Jolene, it's probably bad news. Yeah. But I want that matter. I get that. Yeah. It's so cute. And I'm gonna, you know what? I'm gonna make you happy, Megan. I'm gonna put that fucker on our link tree.

Speaker 2 56:22

I love it. Yeah, we'll put it on the link tree. Because I've never seen that mat or heard of it. So I love it.

Speaker 5 56:27

Well, I found it at The Rocket, which is downtown from where I'm at, and I went as I do. I will snip snap a pic of things and then try to find it online. It is available on Amazon. However, The Rockets is cuter, so there's versions of it. But you need a version with a caricature of Dolly on it.

Speaker 4 56:48

Okay.

Speaker 5 56:49

Love me some Dolly Pardon, which in and of itself is a slip it in. Yes. Pull it out. This is very triggering for me, y'all. Hummingbirds.

Speaker 3 57:03

It's the time of the year.

Speaker 5 57:05

It is the fucking time of the year. You were. We are. Do you realize you guys? We are very close to our one-year anniversary. We are. And the hummingbirds were a very big storyline, episodes one, two, and three, I think, of last season.

Speaker 4 57:21

I think that right now they're just doing their packing.

Speaker 5 57:24

JJ, I'm aware. This is why it's a pull it out and it's triggering. Mid-April is when I should be feeding my hummingbirds. I should be right now feeding them. Put in it. Those fuckers, I fed them, tried to feed them for three to four years consecutive. Yes. We are aware. Nothing. I got no fucking birds humming up in my backyard at all. However, so I made an agreement this year. I am not gonna do it, but I can feel it. I can feel it that there's a part of me that wants to fill my feeder. Pull the feeder out, fill it, get some red shit, all the business. And so it's like I'm not out of spite. I'm like, and so I'm giving an F you to the bird, the hummingbirds. But I still there's a part of me that brings a tear.

Speaker 2 58:12

Well, I'm glad you're letting it go this year. I thought your pullout when you brought up these hummingbirds was gonna be that you saw them flying around, and that's why you're upset. Can you imagine that? You know what? That's what I thought you were gonna hear.

Speaker 5 58:28

You know what? You're right. Yeah. I bet in two weeks from now, I'll see an aimless bird out here, and I'd be like, are you fucking kidding me?

Speaker 2 58:35

Yeah, you are you kidding me, bird? This is why JJ, it's good to talk about it.

Speaker 5 58:41

Do you know it's not the money I invested, although I tried several feeders. It is the emotional connection I was trying to make with them, and it was like they were just they're not interested.

Speaker 2 58:54

They were not so let's keep it. All right, don't start feeding them.

Speaker 5 58:58

Yeah. Well, I'm not, but I'm I'm just just so you know, I could use some emotional support because this is the first year I am doing nothing.

Speaker 4 59:06

We're here for you.

Speaker 5 59:06

Well, I'm doing nothing.

Speaker 4 59:07

This is here for you. I'm gonna for the hummingbirds.

Speaker 2 59:12

Yeah, I think we end it and let's end it on a high note, and we all know what that high note is.

Speaker 6 59:21

I love it. I love it.
