Frozen Concert Night In Detroit

Speaker 0:03

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

Speaker 6 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. As you can tell, my voice is slowly coming back. Yep, slowly coming back. Not enough for a crazy night out. What did you guys do last night?

Speaker 3 0:37

Oh, I was nipnapped last night.

Speaker 6 0:40

You were nitnapped?

Speaker 3 0:41

Nipnapped because my nips were so cold. Matty took me to a concert with Yungblud.

Speaker 6 0:49

Oh, I like Yungblud.

Speaker 3 0:50

Um, I was again nipnap because I'm not a fan of him. I was not, I'm gonna say. So Matty, kind of thank you for taking me into this journey that was so cold. It was very cold.

Speaker 2 1:05

Well, if your nips were cold, Yungblud's nips were cold because he performs. Of course, one of his trademarks is to be shirtless. So he did, and he was like, he was saying, like, I know you guys are cold out there, but you have no fucking excuse. He's like, I'm up here naked. Yeah, but I mean, like, put your hands in the air. Oh my god, that was the whole thing. We were freezing cold, and like I'm sitting on my hands, my hands are in my pocket, and he, I'm like, JJ, he won't get down. He keeps saying to us, You motherfuckers, put your hands in the like 25 times. And I'm like, I can't do it, JJ. I can't do it.

Speaker 6 1:43

So it was an outdoor concert.

Speaker 3 1:45

It was an outdoor concert, but it was great because Detroit was his first stop on the US tour. So we got him on the on the first um first stop.

Devil Wears Prada 2 Reactions

Speaker 2 1:54

First time in first stop in the US, and he was just great. Like, I mean, I I like a like he people don't think typically like that's a concert JJ and I would go to, and JJ's like, well, right, I wouldn't. But I would. I like I like a rocker, and I love it like, especially like if a pop singer does a rock song. So I I loved it, and he has great vocals, and he put on an amazing show, so much energy all around the stage. It was great. Yeah, it was amazing. Except for the cold, but we'll take it.

Speaker 6 2:25

Well, something I was able to do with the two of you is to catch Devil Wear Wears Prada 2.

Speaker 3 2:32

Oh, yeah.

Speaker 6 2:33

What did you guys think?

Speaker 3 2:35

I'm a big fan of the Devil Wears Prada, period. Um, and it's funny, Matty knows this. I'm a big Meryl Strepp fan. You are strip.

Speaker 2 2:46

I love it. Every time you say it, I love it. The Strip. It's like Streeps. Well, I mean, like a Strip Street.

Speaker 3 2:53

It's it's a it's a hidden and secret language that Meryl and I have.

Speaker 6 2:58

Oh, look at that.

Speaker 3 2:59

I mean, it's it's it's it's interesting because every time I see her, I just it for some reason it reminds me of my mother. It's just like the same, like very firm, but yet like a little warm and fuzzy. Um so I was I was excited for the devil words brata too. Um, and it was not the as good as the first one, but I thought it was good.

Speaker 6 3:21

Yeah, yeah, I liked it. There was a weird filter or kind of hate, like the color wasn't rich. It just, yeah, it wasn't it wasn't as vibrant as I feel like it should have been or could have been. And I don't know if that's because everyone's older and they wanted a bigger filter or something. So that was my big issue. I will say, Starbucks has done this great marketing tie-in with Devil's Wear was Prada. So each of the four main characters, they have their four drinks that you could just order. So, like one's like a special chai tea, one's a special cold brew, one's like a special mocha. So you would be like, I want the Andy or I want the Miranda. So I thought that was cute.

Speaker 3 4:02

Didn't they do the same thing with Wicked?

Speaker 6 4:04

Uh special with Yeah, they had the two, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 4:08

The one thing I'll notice, I noticed, and I think if there was an award for like extremities, uh Meryl would win for her hand acting. She her hands in the film. It's that character. That character. Like it's a lot of like boosts and like that. And um, I just I I thought her hands were amazing.

Speaker 3 4:29

I mean, I do think that she is well known as her facial acting. Yeah. To your point, so like a physical actor. She is a physical actor. There were so many times that she I mean that her one-liners are pretty good.

Speaker 6 4:43

Oh, yeah.

Speaker 3 4:43

Um, and it feels like she's trying to establish like a new one-liners for this second one around. Um a little predictable.

Speaker 2 4:52

Yeah, none of it. I thought you were expecting it. I thought there were some good ones, but I guess it just wasn't as fresh because we were looking for it. And in the first one, it was just like, oh my god, that's so funny. And there were funny ones, though, still, I think.

Speaker 6 5:07

But nothing that kind of jumped up as being this iconic everyone's gonna be saying it line, which I feel like the first one did. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 5:14

It'll still be one of those movies that I because the Devil Wears Prada is like one of those movies that I watched like on a Sunday, you know. I've probably watched it like more than 50 times. Wow. So it'll be like a little marathon of like the one and the two.

Speaker 6 5:27

Yeah.

Speaker 3 5:28

I do have to say, like, when it comes to little shout-outs for the things that we've done, like today, well, the day that we're recording this, uh, we just watched the 152nd uh Kentucky Derby. Yeah, and a fellow Puerto Rican, Rick and Rican Rickon, was the jockey that won with Golden Um, what's the name of the horse? Golden Temple. Yeah, Golden Temple. Yeah.

Speaker 6 5:50

Uh I was surprised. There were four jockeys from Puerto Rico. Like, I didn't realize that Puerto Rico had such a big horse community.

Speaker 3 5:58

I remember growing up, my grandma was big into whore races, and she would horse races.

Speaker 5 6:07

Whore races. I'm like, wow.

Speaker 3 6:09

Okay, that took a turn. Horse races. And they I remember her like with like um what is the name of the little the program that they had? Like oh, yeah, wake up early in the morning, get her picks, and like my cousins would have to go into it and put the beds in. I love it. So Puerto Rico is a big on you guys. I speak horse racing.

Speaker 2 6:33

Horse racing programs uh on horse racing. There's also harness racing. So it's like I don't know if you know what that is, JJ. I know where this is going. So this is like the jockey is riding in a little carriage behind the horse, and it's like, you know, just buggy, buggy racing. That's good. So we used to in Muskegon, Michigan, outside of Grand Rapids, we would we had Muskegon race hor racetrack, and we would occasionally go. And we had a friend back in the day, this was like when we were in college, Megan and I, and he was a huge, like he bat on anything. Yes, like he's a professional gambler, yeah. Yeah. And so we were like, oh, we'll bring him with us to the the harness races and have a great, I don't know, what was there, six, seven, yeah. There was quite a few of us. Six that was not intentional. Yeah. So then Megan, you know, we learned a lot from Todd, but anyway, like you can bet a trifecta, which for those that don't know the sport, you have to pick the first, second, and third horse to come in. Yes, you can box it so they come in any order, or they have to be come in like I want the number four horse first, okay, the number eight horse second, and the first horse third. And if they come in that order, I mean, imagine that because it's I mean, what are the chances? It pays out better. It pays out huge.

Speaker 3 7:58

Really when you boxes so that I can have it clear in my hand. So when you box it, is those three can come in at any point. No, two.

Speaker 6 8:06

You can box two. No, you can box three. You can. Oh, I didn't know you could box three.

Speaker 2 8:10

Yeah, you can. I don't know what well, this is about you, Megan, and your bet that you place. I don't know if you boxed it or just knew picture three.

Speaker 6 8:17

I believe I picked three and boxed one and two, but I quite remember them in either order, and then a third had to come in. So because our friend Todd was a professional gambler, essentially everything he bet, I bet. But he would bet like $100 and I'd bet like five. So I was like so excited because I bet exactly what Todd bet. I was cheering for my horses for a trifecta, and they all came in. Like I was like giddy. I'm like, I just won thousands of dollars. Giddy else. Like you were like, giddy up. I was, I was. I was so like I've never been so excited at like a sporting event before, I don't think. And then Matty's like with the very like you could tell he was irritated because he didn't bet what I wasn't he wasn't betting what Todd was betting. He was like, I'm doing my own thing because he knew better.

Speaker 2 9:11

And yeah, rodeos. Exactly.

Speaker 6 9:13

And I'm like, I'm here to make money, so I'm doing what Todd does. And so he's like, let me see your ticket. I know. And I'm like, oh, no problem. Here's my ticket, the winning golden ticket. And he looks at it, and I'll never forget the smile I saw back.

Speaker 3 9:28

It was Was it a smile or a smirk?

Speaker 6 9:31

It was a smirky smile with a little sinister TV. Yes, like you could tell. And he's like, You didn't win. I'm like, what do you mean? He goes, You have whatever, whatever. And I'm like, No, I don't. I'm like, I bet Todd, what do I have? And he goes, What uh the three that won. I'm like, yeah, that's what I bet. And Matty's like, it's not here. And I'm like, I took the ticket and I looked and I flipped out.

Speaker 2 9:57

Why don't you let me take the colour?

Speaker 6 9:59

I'm like, that fucking bitch put in my horse's wrong. And I'm like, I fell to the ground. I'm like, Todd, what do I do? What can I do? Who do I talk to? Speaking of Meryl, I started crying.

Speaker 2 10:14

She gave a performance over here.

Speaker 6 10:16

Oh, yeah.

Speaker 3 10:16

It was a mix of Meryl and my own.

Speaker 6 10:20

Because I knocked him over in my like antics to get to Todd to like say, What can I do? And he's like, You're screwed.

Speaker 2 10:25

We like there's literally had to be like, Megan, get up off the dirt, dirty, smack. Like, she knocked over a beer. You didn't have any thing over.

Speaker 6 10:35

I didn't know I learned a very valuable lesson. She was you always immediately don't leave that gate where you're betting until you check your ticket. Yeah.

Speaker 2 10:44

Because then you wanted that confirmation. You wanted that woman fired. She's like, what am I gonna? And I'm like, You can't do anything. Yeah, you can't do anything.

Speaker 6 10:52

All of a sudden, the winnings get posted. So many people bet on that trifecta. Like it was like everyone knew those three horses were gonna come in. And so it paid out like five dollars. So then I'm like, I don't care. Like, I'm fine because I didn't lose the thousands I thought I had lost. It ended up being a five dollar, like well, it was more than five dollars, but seven at most, and there were it seems like you had a different version of it.

Speaker 2 11:17

I did have a different version. Um, I I didn't take joy in her losing. I I witnessed a meltdown, like nothing I've ever seen. Like she thought you would have thought she did lose a million dollars.

Speaker 6 11:35

Well, I've never seen her first a few thousand dollars was like a million dollars back then.

Speaker 3 11:40

But Maddie, probably in your head you were not thinking that, but you were given that energy.

Speaker 6 11:44

Thank you, JJ. Thank you. 100%.

Speaker 2 11:47

Well, I mean, I can't, I can't. We each have our version.

Speaker 6 11:52

I I see so clearly in my eyes that smile and smirk. All I see you didn't win.

Speaker 2 12:00

Dirty on the ground, dirty on the ground. You didn't win.

Speaker 3 12:03

The celebration we had is like Jose Ortiz with Golden Temple came from behind. Yes, okay, and did it.

Pistons Comeback Sports Update

Speaker 2 12:09

Speaking of coming from behind, you think this is gonna go one way, it's gonna go another. We are apparently suddenly a sports pod because I'm gonna report on the Detroit Pistons. Oh Detroit.

Speaker 6 12:21

I love it. Yeah, no Detroit.

Speaker 2 12:23

Um, I'm not gonna be able to talk too much technical stuff because I get into it if we're in the playoffs. We're in the playoffs. This is the Pistons, NBA, playoffs, first round. We were down three games to one, best of seven. Then we were down three games to two. We last night was a do or die, and they were down 24 points at the half. They ended up coming back from behind and winning, and it was the largest comeback in NBA history in the playoffs.

Speaker 6 12:57

I heard that.

Speaker 2 12:57

I believe it was in franchise history, but in the playoffs, and it's so good.

Speaker 3 13:03

So this is for real. Oh, what do you mean like this that this that they have on the lifetime? Nobody has done like what the Detroit Pistons.

Speaker 6 13:11

Not in the playoffs. Well, they set a records.

Speaker 3 13:14

Oh, they set a record. When you send me that text, it's when it's like, he's just making this up.

Speaker 5 13:18

What is wrong with you people? Why do you guys think I'm making shut up? Well crazy.

Speaker 2 13:26

Oh my god. Well, wait, I hold up. I was just gonna say, I just for context, we hope they make it to the second round. This is Saturday night. They play Sunday night. This episode drops on Wednesday. So fingers crossed. Fingers crossed crossed, go Detroit, go Pistons.

Speaker 6 13:47

When you're listening to this, that the Pistons made it to the next round.

Speaker 2 13:51

They haven't even been in the NBA playoffs since like 2018-19. Yeah, it's been a while. So I that might I might need a fact check there.

Speaker 6 13:58

That might be a fact checker.

Speaker 3 13:59

Well, delicious checked him out.

Popcorn Bag Disaster Fact Check

Speaker 6 14:01

Thinking about things where Maddie is maybe making stuff up or needs fact fact checking. I will say we did read, get some commentary back from Matty's sister Stacey after our last episode.

Speaker 3 14:16

And guest co-host, she's guest co-host.

Speaker 6 14:18

Exactly. And she said she also had tried microwaving popcorn in with just regular popcorn kernels in a brown paper grocery bag. She said she used a lunch bag, and she also set the microwave on fire. Oh, so I really question if Matty ever successfully popped popcorn in a microwave in a brown paper bag because my parents' kitchen was almost on flames because of it, and the whole interior of the microwave was melted after his microwave popcorn incident, and apparently the same thing happened for his sister.

Speaker 3 14:56

Well, so our suspicions were like fine when he was on that kitchen trying to do this Jiffy Pop such a little bit.

Speaker 2 15:02

I blocked that memory, I think. But um, she did say that. Yes, there's clear trauma.

Speaker 6 15:09

So there's two cases of burning up microwaves for you.

Speaker 2 15:12

I'm just going to say that I had never had any problems with my popping in a I but I please listeners, don't try that at home because apparently it requires a special technique.

Speaker 3 15:26

I thought you wanted I thought you wanted to patent it too. Like he probably did. It seems a little dangerous to be patenting.

Speaker 6 15:32

No, there will be lawsuits left and right. Yeah.

Speaker 2 15:35

So please, crazy. Please, kids, don't.

Speaker 6 15:38

Well, speaking of being vindicated, I also feel vindicated.

Speaker 2 15:41

Well, you haven't been vindicated.

Speaker 3 15:47

Well, that's not vindication. Well, it's a little fact-checking. That's about it.

Summer House Drama Turns Dark

Speaker 6 15:51

Okay, well, vindication, fact-checking. Carry on. Same thing, same thing. Anyway, I'm feeling vindicated by Juicy Juicy Apple Lucy because Juicy Juicy Lucy. No. Uh also thinks that Move West by Giorgio Says is the song of the summer.

Speaker 2 16:10

Who's Juicy Juicy Apple Juicy?

Speaker 6 16:13

It's a like a gossip account on Instagram. Oh, it is? Yes.

Speaker 3 16:18

So like Screaming Karen's. Remember that? I do.

Speaker 6 16:21

So I'm keeping a keen eye on all potential song of the summer songs to see if they move people like Move West does. And I am also going to say I'm kind of chuckling because now instead of saying like Scamanda and stuff, people are just saying Midwest. Like West is mid.

Speaker 5 16:41

I kind of do a butt.

Speaker 2 16:44

I mean, if you're suggesting the Midwest is boring, we are in the Midwest. Well, he's also from St.

Speaker 6 16:49

Louis, which would be considered Midwest. But it's just more like I think it's funny. It's more like mid.

Speaker 2 16:55

You know I love a play on words.

Speaker 3 16:57

Well, since I am a little bit more into the UK version of this whole thing, you know how they call them? West TD.

Speaker 2 17:03

Oh, I love that. West T D. I love that.

Speaker 3 17:06

Because he's been around. Yeah. Like the West TD.

Speaker 2 17:09

You guys finally did get it. These are both funny.

Speaker 3 17:11

Move West T D.

Speaker 2 17:12

I love play play on words, so I have been a little disengaged on this whole topic because I'm not knee deep in it. Of summer house. Earlier in the week, you sent a clip, and West's cousin was she's like, I think the text was like, well, now there's a murder involved. Yeah. I'm like, murder! Like the summer house. I mean, now I'm in. Now I'm in. You've got my attention.

Speaker 3 17:37

Okay.

Speaker 2 17:38

And so the story that I dived a little deep into is West's cousin. I'm gonna get this right. His stepmother's grandma, so his stepgrandmother, apparently had him doing too many chores, at least in his mind.

Speaker 3 17:58

This isn't I've been there. Well, not to the point. Not to the point I've murdered.

Speaker 2 18:03

Hopefully, you didn't cross this line. So he shot her with a handgun.

Speaker 6 18:07

Yeah, allegedly West Wilson's cousin, Dakota Sweeney. So apparently the grandmother wanted him to do more chores around the house, and the grandmother and West cousin, Dakota Sweeney, were like quietly sitting in the same room for about 30 minutes. And then I guess there was an eyewitness or something who allegedly said shots were fired and shot her with a handgun. Don't make me unload the and unfortunately she died. Her name was Gail Wilson, 75 years old.

Speaker 3 18:39

For sure.

Speaker 6 18:41

Well, yeah. So I mean, unfortunately, that's not gonna be the greatest Mother's Day for the Wilson family.

Speaker 2 18:48

Yeah, no, not good. No, so it is kind of well, that was a little bit of a debbie downer.

Speaker 3 18:56

We went from the high high of the Kentucky's and the whole thing is a downer.

Speaker 6 19:00

Like this whole summer house scandal's a downer.

Speaker 3 19:03

Like, yeah, you know, I would never do what they did to their including West D's nudes.

Speaker 6 19:09

Oh Lord. Yes. JJ somehow gotta handle those. The word like DM us privately, and we might get you something.

Speaker 3 19:18

Yeah, but it's it's been sad. No, we won't.

Speaker 2 19:23

I mean, we can't be sending out West D's nudes.

Speaker 6 19:27

We're gonna get shut down.

Speaker 2 19:29

Well, we don't want to be part of the story, do we?

Speaker 6 19:31

I'm just saying a DM privately.

Speaker 2 19:34

Okay. Well, I don't know.

Speaker 6 19:35

What happens on the DMs is on the download. And it could all be AI generated. So, like, okay. Well, JJ has a verification. I don't know.

Speaker 2 19:48

Tell me, how do you validate it?

Speaker 3 19:50

Well, he's got his tattoos on, his bracelet.

Speaker 6 19:52

The bracelet does look like nowadays.

Speaker 3 19:56

Well, I've just and it looks like the uncut that he is.

Speaker 6 20:00

And you heard he was uncut.

Speaker 3 20:01

Yeah.

Speaker 6 20:02

Oh, really?

Speaker 3 20:03

People discussed it. I have I I'm part of a gay group, Chat.

Speaker 6 20:08

So according to the gay collectively, he's allegedly uncircumcised.

Speaker 2 20:14

Okay. That doesn't seem very substantial. You saw that you saw the picture. Well, I sure did, but I I'm not, I don't, yeah, I have no idea.

Speaker 3 20:22

Anyway.

Mother’s Letter And Grief Tribute

Speaker 2 20:23

Anyway. Midwest. So Mother's Day is coming up. All we are gonna be just a few days shy of it when the episode drops. Yeah. So um I came across something the a couple weeks ago. I've been trying to get um some of my things in order of like valuables. And I have when I say valuables, there's like um like actual valuables that are like toys and shit I've collected, and then there's just mementos, family things, and I'm they have been mixed and mingled over the years, and like shit is in like this drawer and this box, and so now I'm trying to like identify everything I have and put them in mementos or a profit. And so I came across this just a couple weeks ago. It's a a letter from my mom who wrote this to me on my 13th birthday.

Speaker 6 21:24

Wow, I love it.

Speaker 2 21:25

And I don't know if I've discussed with this on the pod before, but for the listeners, my mom passed away when I was uh in college. So to find these types of treasures are very meaningful. So I'm just gonna take a quick moment if you guys would allow me to just read this. Um, and here it goes. She actually titled it Endings 13 Beginnings. You guys might need to help me get through this. Okay, I carried you under my heart and will always carry you in my heart. You were born in the wee hours of the morning, and often I remember the quiet times in the wee hours that we spent together. The little cherub with the thick blonde curls has grown into a handsome young man. Uh but in your eyes I'd always see the sparkle of my little boy. Gone are the days when with toys you would play. Soon it will be, may I have the card today. A quote for thought. It is a great mistake to know enough to go in from the rain. One may keep snug and dry from such knowledge, but miss a world of loveliness. Let your head left your head high, take walks in the rain, and remember you've got what it takes. Loving, caring, gentleness, and wisdom. Reach for the stars. Endings and beginnings. No matter what they may be or where life may lead you, know that you are loved. Happy 13th. I love you, your mom, your best friend.

Speaker 6 23:18

That's beautiful.

Speaker 2 23:20

I will say that, like, that's why I think you both know how much I love the rain. And when the when it rains, even thunders and lightnings, a lot of times I will not take shelter, but I will run out into the rain. And um it's just really special to me. And so I just want to say I have one more thing to read, and then we can turn this around. But I also wrote when my mom did pass, I've never read this to anybody, and now I'm gonna put it out into the universe. I did I did read it at her funeral, but it's the only time I've really shared this. But it's um in honor of my mom. I will feel your presence when the sky lights up and the thunderstorms. I will hear your sweet voice singing among the dolphins as they dance. Your beauty will behold me as it glistens through raindrops reaching for the earth. I will stare into your eyes as they watch over me and reflect off the smooth calmness of a lake, and as I look to the sky's balloons, I will know that it is you pulling them closer to the heavens. For though you have left my presence in search of peace, you will be with me every step of the way in my heart, my mind, and my soul. I love you, mom, today, tomorrow, and forever. Matthew. Nice. Very nice. Not our traditional vibe on the pod. Um, but um, I appreciate you guys giving me that opportunity to um have that moment. Um, and I just hope everybody out there um celebrates their mom on Mother's Day, and all the mothers get a little break to just you know kick back and enjoy their family and their loved ones around them.

Speaker 3 25:17

Yeah, thank you for sharing that with us. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

unknown 25:22

Thank you.

Speaker 6 25:23

Well, in honor of Mother's Day, if you're looking for some last-minute Mother's Day gifts, I have two products that are from Rodial. One is something I've heard about for years. It's called the Banana Lowlighter, um, which is a cult favorite makeup product that kind of sits in that space between concealer, color corrector, and liquid highlighter. So it's designed to give you a lid from within glow and has a soft yellow banana undertone. So it's really good for brightening under eyes and like brightening other areas on your complexion.

Speaker 2 26:03

Now, if I wear it and I go out in the rain, is it gonna hold?

Speaker 6 26:07

Yep. Okay. It will.

Speaker 3 26:09

It's not gonna be an Erica Jane moment with the mascara. Wow.

Speaker 6 26:12

Well, mascara. Yeah, this is not so and it also like for lighter complexions. You want the banana. It also comes in a peach and then a darker version for darker complexions.

Speaker 2 26:24

I feel like you are attracted to banana products.

Speaker 6 26:27

Honestly, I've heard about it yeah, I like banana, but this I've heard about for years and finally decided to try it. And I actually like have become obsessed, and I've only had it a week. Oh, and another product by Rhodial is a vitamin C papaya enzyme scrub. And this someone gave me in a favorite things gift for uh Christmas time. And ever since I've been using it, and you guys have used it.

Speaker 2 27:00

Oh, that one, oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 27:02

Yeah, yeah, yeah. She just placed it on the shower and she's like, when you're there it is.

Speaker 6 27:06

Yes, yeah, and that's a luxury exfoliating face scrub, and it's designed to brighten and smooth the skin. And that has become now like my everyday in the shower. It's what I always use to wash my face. So that gives you um it kind of helps out even your skin tone. It gives you a radiant spa light glow. It has vitamin C in it, hyaluronic acid, and it gives you a very nice kind of exfoliation. Oh, thank you.

Speaker 5 27:37

So glowing.

Speaker 6 27:38

Well, banana low lighter. Um, but also the papaya enzyme scrub is great. We're open to sponsorships.

Speaker 2 27:48

Yes. You do?

Speaker 3 27:49

Like to eat. I love, I love to eat it and I love an uh never too. Smoothie or papaya.

Speaker 6 27:55

I like papaya too. Now, Matty, when he used it, said he kind of thought it smelled a little like beer. And I ever since when I've used it, I don't smell beer, but I think it's the papaya kind of gives you that fermenting, maybe? No, I think because you know how it smells a little bit like how you have like Hefeweizen where you put the um orange in it. And so I think it's kind of oh maybe that's where this papaya, I think I can see where you're getting that smell.

Speaker 3 28:20

I didn't get papaya.

Speaker 2 28:21

But you think about yeah, that's interesting. You know what I do love whenever we travel together is we always get to experience each other's products, whatever they might be as of late. We're bringing it. So it's like, because that trip we were on, it was like, well, here I brought this. Do you want to try this? Oh, hey, I put this in the shower. Do you want to try that?

Speaker 3 28:38

To your point, I do think that sometimes when we do travel together, we have we all have our moments in the bathroom and just like, let me just place this lotion somewhere here. This is my little display. Display, did you see?

Speaker 2 28:50

And we're all looking for a little validation because then if we get validated, it goes on the what? The link tree. Yes.

Speaker 6 28:56

And you can find both these Rodial products, the papaya scrub and the banana low lighter on our link tree.

Speaker 5 29:03

Awesome, great.

Speaker 6 29:05

So with that, I think it's time for some slip it ins and pull it outs.

Speaker 3 29:09

Can I start?

Speaker 6 29:10

Yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 3 29:11

I'm gonna start with my pull-out. Um, and I'm gonna start with my pull-out being Matty. Matty, something that you've been doing.

Speaker 2 29:17

Wow. Um that's dice. Was I competing with you? Because I'm so competitive.

Speaker 3 29:25

So Matty is has been lately on the business of creating group chats randomly.

Speaker 6 29:31

Okay.

Speaker 3 29:32

But the thing is that I I'm okay with it, even though I'm not a big fan of a group chat. When I'm what I'm not okay with is when he creates the chat and he forgets that he created it already.

Speaker 2 29:45

Oh, this is a pull it out. It's a pull-out. I was giving away. You thought you were getting an accolade.

Speaker 3 29:51

I thought it was sitting back and getting like where is going to be the good thing about it. I thought it was so good. No, because you forget about the group chat that you created a week ago, and then like we have a group chat that he created for our topics.

Speaker 2 30:04

Yes.

Speaker 3 30:04

He forgot about that one now already.

Speaker 2 30:06

No, I didn't.

Speaker 3 30:07

Yeah, 100%. You sent us some topics on the slip it end.

Speaker 2 30:10

No, those were meant for not, I wanted you to listen to the new Madonna song. I didn't want it to be a topic.

Speaker 3 30:17

But then we have the fam chat, and you're like, I forgot, I didn't find it. Let me just create another chat.

Speaker 2 30:23

Well, both things can be true here because you are correct. I have done that, but just don't you worry that if I put something in the chat, okay, we have two chats between the three of us. We have the slip it in chat where we just talk as friends. It used to be an all in. And we we were mixing friendship conversations with pod conversations, so I deliberately did a second one, right? Okay, I got it.

Speaker 3 30:51

So next time, just find that chat. Okay, you know, the Apple now has you can search for it, and that's it. So that is a little bit of a pull out. Is that just a little device?

Speaker 6 31:02

Doesn't sound a little, it sounds a lot.

Speaker 3 31:05

And my slip it in is a little clip that I stumble upon that I just want to play it for you guys. And is a family feud clip. I think that we are influencing even family feud.

Speaker 1 31:19

Oh, wow. Fill in the blank with one word, blank nuts. Fill in the blank with one word, blank nuts.

Speaker 3 31:32

You said these delicious. Did you hear that? These nuts. Yes, these nuts.

Speaker 2 31:43

I love it. I love those clips from the family feud because there are some crazy shit people.

Speaker 3 31:50

And you can find a bunch of those on like the TV. I love it too. So that's my slip it in.

Michael Biopic Praise And Debate

Speaker 6 31:54

Okay. Well, my slip it in is the Michael movie. I've seen it twice. It's on my list. It's amazing. Uh, when you it's about Michael Jackson, if you have been under a rock, um, and it's a biopic of his life from the Jackson 5 through like uh the mid 80s, late 80s. Um, it's excellent. It's amazing, it's everything you want it to be. Um, but I had a few issues. I was so excited to see the Jackson 5 when they came to Detroit to audition for Barry Gordy at Motown and to work with Suzanne De Paz about getting ready, like recording their first songs, their dances.

Speaker 2 32:41

Suzanne de Pass.

Speaker 6 32:42

She um was like a creative director assistant at at Motown and then later became president of Motown. Okay. Um, and so she's accredited along with Diana Ross for discovering the Jackson 5. Okay. Um, and then she was the one who worked with them the most when they got signed to Motown. And when you do the Motown Museum tour, which is where you get to tour Motown Records here in Detroit and the original uh studio where they recorded everything, they talk a lot about the Jackson 5 and them at Motown. And literally the movie cuts out Detroit completely.

Speaker 5 33:22

Oh, I don't know.

Speaker 6 33:23

So they go from like Suzanne seeing them perform and then their recording in uh LA. That's weird. They cut out like a whole year, year and a half.

Speaker 2 33:33

Especially since Detroit is Motown. Yes. Like why would you cut that?

Speaker 6 33:38

That's pretty significant.

Speaker 3 33:39

So this is a slip it in and a pull out altogether.

Speaker 6 33:42

My pullout is that. Well, that's part of my pull. I have a kind of a dual-faced Michael pull-out.

Speaker 2 33:48

So a dual-faced Michael pull-out.

Speaker 6 33:50

Well, because my slip it in is Michael the movie, and my pull it out is Michael the movie because they cut Detroit out. The other thing I want to talk about is I've seen some people post things on social media of like, I won't see the Michael movie, I'm standing with the victims. And I want to put out there to make it very clear. One, the movie doesn't get into any of the allegations relating to um the fact that he had was abused children or was a pedophile. And also, under the fundamental principles of law in our country, you're innocent until proven guilty. And it needs to be said and put out there that Michael Jackson actually was tried in a court of law in front of a jury of his peers, and he was found not guilty of all criminal charges brought against him. So, and no federal charges have ever been filed against him, even though the FBI has arguably been involved in hearing some of these allegations and essentially being part of investigations for over 13 years. So I think to say you're standing with victims when he's actually been proven innocent the one time he was actually in a court of law. And any of the recent claims by Wade Robson and Jimmy Safechuk that came from Finding Neverland all came up after Michael's death. He's not here to defend himself. And isn't it interesting that that's when they come out when they previously said yeah, he's never touched them. There was never anything nefarious going on. So that's my pull it out.

Speaker 3 35:29

Well, the movie's on my list.

Speaker 6 35:30

Another D segment, this episode. The movie's amazing. Jafar Jackson did an amazing job representing and uh portraying his uncle, Michael. He is dancing, he's fabulous. Um, he his speech and he talks just like Michael.

Speaker 3 35:51

And he's he said that he read a lot of books just like practicing his voice.

Speaker 2 35:55

Yeah. Yeah. I have a couple things to say. One is I'm not a big museum person. So whenever somebody asks me if I want to go to a museum, I I mean like I don't know why, because I do kind of I like history and stuff, but I just I don't know. I just for whatever reason. But so Megan had asked a few times to go if I wanted to go to Motown and I had uh declined. And then um I did go on a work thing because we did it for like a cultural thing, and I was really impressed, and it was amazing. So I do I did love that, and I'm glad I went on it, and I do think it deserved its moment in the film. Um, and then I will say that they're already there's news out there confirmation, I believe, that they're doing a second movie, and so they might dive into some of the topics that weren't addressed. I'm not sure. I'm not trying to open up any cans, but no, you better don't.

Speaker 6 36:53

Well, the movie Michael had the biggest opening worldwide that any biopic has ever had, and it grossed, I think, over like 250 million on the first weekend, which is huge these days. I mean, it's huge in general, but even now, people are not going to the movies like they used to. So it's a huge, huge opening. And it just shows the like love for Michael that's still out there. And it's on my list. His story's a pretty amazing story, and what he also did um fighting for uh black musicians' rights. Um, MTV refused to play black artists, and Michael basically pressured his record company that they get him on MTV. And then look what he did for music videos.

Speaker 2 37:40

Do the Jacksons have you on their payroll?

Speaker 6 37:43

I felt like okay, let me go. No, I'm a Michael fan. So it was a slip it in and a pull it out, and I encourage everyone to see it. And having seen it twice and then seen Devil's Wear Prada, it's like the one in slide. I think um separate was so much better. So much better. That's all I'm gonna say.

Elephant Foster Mom Motherhood Talk

Speaker 2 38:04

That's all. Okay, I'm I'm gonna take it back to Mother's Day. Do you guys know Linh Mai? It's a Mother's Day theme. So Linh Mai is that little elephant that was born and had its debut, I think, at the Washington D. Washington D.C. Yeah. Yeah. And the poor thing, I guess this happens, and his biological mother, or her biological mother rather, um rejected her. And so there was no connection. But of course, Liny Mai needed a mother figure. And so there is this um female adult elephant named Swarna, who has this is not her first time, but she took little Lynn May under her wing and they bonded and raised she raised it her. She's raising her as like her own. And they don't know which if they'll take or they won't take, but yeah, but this um they're calling her Swarna, Auntie Swarna, has done this almost like fostered little baby elephants before. And I think it's so precious. I mean, like you, I mean, I just feel like I mean they're very smart, right? Yes. So this little elephant probably is like, oh, yeah, like my mom. What like where's my mom? And so um, Auntie Swarna, you're my slip it in for saving the day and raising little Linh Mai.

Speaker 3 39:47

I love that. Um, elephants are, and I think you probably mentioned it here in the pod, are my favorite animal. We got to see some elephants in the wild uh when we went to South Africa. Yeah. Um, but one of the things that I love the most about elephants is that is they are led by female elephants. The herds are led by them. Um, and it kind of like what you're saying in the story. Yeah, it just tells me and it brought me back to like my own mother of like how a strong woman was able to raise our family and um being able to bring all that warmth and love. Um, so again, um bringing all the love to all the mothers about to celebrate their mother's day, hopefully outside of the kitchen.

Texting Bikers On Sidewalks

Speaker 2 40:36

It doesn't have to be biological definitions. You can be a mother in many different ways, you know, a mother figure. Yeah. Um, sisters, aunts, grandmas, mothers, all of it. My pull it out. So it's been fucking freezing, and that's not my pull it out, but a couple but so I haven't been going on a walk in the last few days. But last week I went out and started doing walking. I went on two walks across three days, and both times I encountered bikers that are texting on their phone. Yeah, while they are riding their bike, they're one-handing it with one hand, with the thumb of the other hand, they better watch out for the cats. Right? This is too much. Like, if you can't get on your bike and whether you're going out for exercise or you are just using it to go to the store, that is either way, like put your phone away. Yeah, like you don't there's nothing that important, and I say texting, they could be scrolling, they could be posting. Yeah, I don't know, but that's not but like it's ridiculous. Yeah, it's ridiculous.

Speaker 6 41:50

That's especially because like it's easy enough just to like put your feet down and pause. Like, I don't know why, and just text. Like, it's not like you're driving where like you are have traffic, like you can't just stop in the middle of the street, but like a biker, you can just stop, no one cares.

Speaker 2 42:08

Well, one of the bikers was actually on the sidewalk, so I'm walking, oh, and he's coming at me on the sidewalk, and I'm like, Well, I I literally like got into the grass area of it to let him pass because I'm like he's texting and biking. That's crazy. I've never seen that.

Episode 50 Tease And How To Reach Us

Speaker 3 42:26

That is a pull out, yeah.

Speaker 2 42:27

So before we wrap it up, um, I do want to say this is episode 49 for anyone that's tracking. So the next episode that we are gonna get together is going to be monumento episode 50, which also coincides with like our one-year anniversary because it is obviously I know you're not great at math, Megan, but there's 52 weeks in the year. And we did have two weeks in which we didn't actually drop episodes, so it is both the 50th and the one-year anniversary, and so I'm looking forward kind of, I guess I'm sneaking in in a separate slip it in, but uh looking forward to you guys uh and me coming back together for our 50th.

Speaker 6 43:10

Okay, but I would like to point out like you brought in math, like we didn't start recording the podcast in January. We started in May.

Speaker 2 43:20

Okay, disregard all of that. It's but this is May.

Speaker 6 43:26

Well, I know like it's a year. I'm the year anniversary is correct, but his way of getting there a 52-week, like I try, people. I try, I try skill tracks us a year. I try, but I get making it. It's a year, correct. It's a year, but not through the math.

Speaker 2 43:40

Oh, um well, I'm just see it at the 50th.
