Sunglasses And Memorial Day Reset

SPEAKER_00 0:05

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

SPEAKER_01 0:21

You laugh. Welcome, welcome, welcome, everyone. We are back slipping it in with you. I'm Megan, and I'm here with my fellow off-duty models, Maddie and JJ. As you can see, we're all rocking our sunglasses that give us that off-duty model look. I am wearing the Carolyn Bissett-Kennedy specials that you can find on our Linktree under Carolyn Bissett-Kennedy collection. They're off Amazon and they give you that fun 90s vibe that is very in fashion right now. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 0:57

I was trying to be very serious in the opening music to give my off-duty model look. Like was like carefree, and I don't really care. These are just, you know, the classic Ray bands I've got rocking.

SPEAKER_03 1:10

I was a little awkward because I can see. I took my glasses off just to get my sunglasses in, but I'm hoping that the off-duty is it's off duty.

SPEAKER_02 1:23

Oh, you're you're giving model. Yes.

SPEAKER_04 1:27

So they're coming from off of the long Memorial Day weekend.

SPEAKER_05 1:33

Yes. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_04 1:34

Memorial Day is still a day in front of us. Uh so we're recording on a Sunday night, which we normally don't do.

SPEAKER_05 1:41

No.

SPEAKER_04 1:42

Um, but uh yeah, we've had some festivities. We have we're decompressing, I think. Yeah. A little decompressing. Yeah. Um, and so what we thought we would do is just kind of venture out and just see what's hitting the headlines and revisit our little hot topic approach. Yeah. We've done this in the past a few episodes. We just do a few hot topics. Absolutely. Okay.

Looksmaxxing And The Hammer Rumor

SPEAKER_04 2:07

We uh we have a dish in front of us. We all have submitted some hot topics, and we are going to reach in and pull one out. I'm going to read the first one. Let's see what it is. Let's see. Let's see. Okay. Clavicular. Clavic. Clavicular.

SPEAKER_01 2:32

Yes, this is mocking. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 2:35

Clavic. Am I saying that right? Clavicular getting outmaxed by his judge.

SPEAKER_01 2:42

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 2:42

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 2:43

So this refers to, which I'm not sure if you've seen the headlines, there's this 20-year-old TikToker, uh, Braden Peters, who is he has over a million followers on TikTok, and he's an influencer tied to what's known as the looks maxing scene. So I don't know if you've heard of that. This is this online subculture that focuses on maximizing physical attractiveness, often through like extreme grooming, fitness, cosmetic procedures, jawline training, and even controversially, bone smashing, where you like take a camera to your face so that you can reshape your bones will grow back thicker, better, or more angular. So it's all about this hyper masculine aesthetic as aesthetics. Yes, sorry, aesthetics. So it be he became clavicular specifically uh for posting appearance-focused content and live streams that mix fitness, stock, shock humor, and manosphere style and self-improvement content.

SPEAKER_04 3:55

I'm still confused on clavicular.

SPEAKER_01 3:58

That is because it's like his clavicle. So he's like his bones are so is that where he started with his clavicle? No, it's his whole face, his whole thing. But I think, yeah, something with his clavicle is like ideal. Um, and so basically looks maxing itself is internet slang about trying to optimize your looks to the highest possible level, like quote unquote maxing your appearance.

SPEAKER_03 4:25

That kind of goes into like how to what extreme would you go for beauty?

SPEAKER_04 4:31

Like it's just like so crazy that I wouldn't be smashing my bones with a hammer.

SPEAKER_03 4:36

Well, I'm thinking about that because I I've never broken a bone. Knock and wood. And just the thought of it, just for accidentally.

SPEAKER_04 4:45

I think imagine for a jawline. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 4:48

Like I love a jawline.

SPEAKER_04 4:50

I want to know what jawline training is. You said jawline training. Yeah, I think I would do some training if I could, but not smashing.

SPEAKER_03 4:59

I would not smash my jawline just for a little chisel caught.

SPEAKER_04 5:04

Well, like I mean, what's what promise do you have that it's gonna heal in a way that you like?

SPEAKER_03 5:11

Like to me, if you like Well, when they put it together, then just like I mean, your doctor then just puts it together in a way that it will grow. Would your insurance cover this?

SPEAKER_01 5:20

I don't know. I don't know if you get your insurance to pay for it. I don't know if you smash it in a way that it just grows back naturally on its own, or if you actually need like surgical intervention. I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_04 5:31

There's a lot of questions. A lot of pains.

SPEAKER_01 5:34

Well, and so supposedly when you read some things about this clavicular, they say he did at age 14 smash his face in with a hammer. But then when I tried to fact check check it, I couldn't confirm that that was actually true.

SPEAKER_04 5:50

So he's allegedly smashing his face with a hammer. Yeah, but I guess this goes Does is his name clavicular? I'm still hung up.

SPEAKER_01 5:57

That's like his handle, I think, on TikTok. His real name's Braden Peters. That's what I said.

SPEAKER_04 6:03

Okay, sorry, my bad. Sorry.

SPEAKER_01 6:05

But he goes by clavicular. So I'm I don't know, I don't follow him on TikTok. But the reason he's been like really in the press lately is he had live streamed a while ago him shooting with his some of his other looks maxing friends that he frequently live streams with, shooting a dead alligator in the Everglades.

SPEAKER_04 6:29

Uh-huh. And why would you if it's already dead?

SPEAKER_01 6:32

There, because they're this whole this also this looks maxing culture is a little bit about like machoism and being all you know broy, I guess. So they were shooting this, or him specifically was shooting this dead alligator. So he got charged with charges for shooting this alligator. And when he went to his hearing, this is in Miami in Miami Dade County. Yeah, his judge, judge Judge Marcus back Armis, was very handsome and the internet went wild. They're like he got outmogged by the judge.

SPEAKER_04 7:13

So there's this whole judge was judge maxing.

SPEAKER_01 7:17

Looks maxing, but oh, you're putting in judge. Okay, yes.

SPEAKER_03 7:21

Yeah, like you know where it's there.

SPEAKER_01 7:23

So everyone on the internet thought it was so ironic that he got out maxed by his own judge who was just naturally gorgeous. So his judge, Judge Marcus Back Armis, is also a graduate of the University of Michigan Law School. Oh, so he has some Michigan ties, he's now a judge in Miami. He gives back to the community, and interestingly enough, he's of Cuban and Jewish descent. Apparently, his father was like had to run from the Nazis out of Germany.

SPEAKER_04 7:55

Oh my god. So his story.

SPEAKER_01 7:57

Yes, so running the gamma. So that's kind of the big deal with this clavicular that he got outmaxed by his judge.

SPEAKER_04 8:08

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 8:09

So lots of new words. Lots of new words.

SPEAKER_04 8:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:13

You should know about this crazy subculture out there.

SPEAKER_04 8:16

It is an interesting question to pose to oneself as to what what's your limit? Yeah. Like what is your limit?

SPEAKER_03 8:24

I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 8:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 8:26

I haven't done any You haven't even done Botox yet.

SPEAKER_01 8:31

I support pretty much everything.

SPEAKER_04 8:34

Everything. Yeah. Except for self-harm.

SPEAKER_01 8:36

Well, no, not self-harm.

SPEAKER_04 8:38

Well, that's what I mean. If you're if you're breaking your own.

SPEAKER_01 8:41

I support everything relating to like plastic surgery and bettering yourself and keeping yourself tight and taut. Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_04 8:53

Well, I support whatever anybody wants to do.

SPEAKER_03 8:55

Yeah. Whatever makes you happy.

SPEAKER_04 8:57

For their own improvements. But we've all seen it taken too far. But again, I'm not naming names, but we've seen it.

SPEAKER_03 9:03

I mean, there's a reason why there is a show called Botch.

unknown 9:07

Crap.

SPEAKER_01 9:07

There you go. You want to you want to find really good surgeons and really good injectors and make sure you go to someone who knows what they're doing. And like, I mean, you know, proof is in the pudding. Just look at some of these great facelifts. Chris Jenner.

SPEAKER_04 9:24

Say that you should probably, if you're getting Botox, no. But at some point you might want to have a good therapist. Right? Like if you are, if you are a person that's being asked if they can film it for botched, then at that stage, you don't need one for your run of the mill, whatever, one surgery here, two surgeries there. But some of these folks, there's something else going on.

SPEAKER_03 9:48

I mean, there are certain procedures that it requires you to speak with a therapist or a psychologist. They are. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 9:57

I mean, what do you think if you're doing, and this is kind of standard protocol, deep plane facelift, neck lift, upper bleft, lower bleft, laser on your face, and a bra lift.

SPEAKER_04 10:12

What's the question?

SPEAKER_01 10:13

Do I need surgery if I'm getting all that done?

SPEAKER_04 10:15

Surgery or a therapist?

SPEAKER_01 10:17

Oh, therapist, sorry. Yes, you do need 100% you need surgery. Yeah. 100%. I um maybe. That's standard protocol nowadays for women of a certain age.

SPEAKER_04 10:29

But I guess maybe the question is yeah, I don't know. I don't want it. It's women's territory, not mine. I'll stay out of it.

SPEAKER_01 10:37

But well, no, men are getting that done. No, it's a bigger topic, I think.

SPEAKER_04 10:42

Like you could make a case for the the question of who are you doing this for? Are you doing this for yourself or are you doing this for your perception how you want people to see you and perceive you and just for all these reasons? So I don't think it hurts to have a conversation. It's not necessary, probably. I mean, people, it's just another way to try to better yourself in a way that you're if you're comfortable with it, then I think it's fine. But it's like when you've done that, if you were coming to me and saying, here's my list, and this is the fifth time I'm going getting this done, that's probably more what I a lot of that, what I just said, women are doing in one circuit, one setting.

SPEAKER_01 11:23

Yeah. Well, I will say, I mean, I had a upper bluff done a couple years ago, and it's the best thing I ever did.

SPEAKER_04 11:31

Yeah, I support you coming out.

SPEAKER_01 11:33

Well, I support I was the greatest thing I ever did. I had a lot of heaviness on my contacts later in the day. Don't have it anymore after the surgery. Thank you, insurance.

SPEAKER_03 11:44

I'm not opposed to it. I would okay.

SPEAKER_01 11:47

No, I mean it was legitimately covered by my insurance. Yes, absolutely, 100%. So I support it. It was a toe tip into the plastic surgery world. And let me tell you, it was no pain, and it was one of the best things I've done. So I support plastic surgery.

SPEAKER_03 12:06

Okay, moving on.

Gay Music Video Nights Make Sense

SPEAKER_03 12:08

Have another topic right about. Oh, it's this is mine. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 12:12

Hold one of your own out.

SPEAKER_03 12:14

Yes. The new trend of gay guy music video nights, and that actually came up out of a GQ article. Oh, really? Yes. That say that now gays, a group of gays, their pregame means that they come up to say Maddie is hosting um The Night Out.

SPEAKER_04 12:37

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 12:38

Maddie is also hosting the pregame at his house.

SPEAKER_04 12:41

Oh, it's are they calling it a pregame?

SPEAKER_03 12:43

It is kind of a it starts with a pregame, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 12:45

Like calling it pregame. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 12:47

Well, all they do is watch music videos from now either YouTube or vivo. Okay. And usually starts with, as GQ says, it usually starts with Madonna, Brittany, Cher, as every single gay gathering should. Yeah. You know, the mothers, mothers first. Okay. And then, and probably you've seen it like now. I mean, I'm sure that you know, a few years ago, like artists like Michael Jackson and Madonna will do that too, like with their videos and like record their concerts. But you've seen it like with the Aeros Tour, their Renaissance with Beyonce. They've done all the whole movie thing, like Billie Eilish now has um her concerts. You know, you have to pay like I mean pay to go to the movie theater to watch it. Oh, right. So what they do is that they just start with that, Madonna, Britney, and then they just start watching those concerts. And sometimes, according to this article, it says that they that is pretty much just the whole night. It starts at the pregame, but it's just they never make it out.

SPEAKER_04 13:51

They never make it out.

SPEAKER_03 13:52

They never make it out.

SPEAKER_04 13:53

Interesting.

SPEAKER_03 13:53

And Megan, you would love this because they say that they do a like a little bit of intermission with some real housewives clips.

SPEAKER_04 14:00

Oh my god, I love it. But would Megan be allowed?

SPEAKER_03 14:02

She's not at the party.

SPEAKER_01 14:03

Oh, why would I be allowed?

SPEAKER_03 14:05

It's a gay, it's it's just the gays.

SPEAKER_01 14:06

The gays love a fag hat.

SPEAKER_03 14:08

I would be invited.

SPEAKER_01 14:10

If I'm coming out for the night, and let me tell you, I think I'd enjoy the pre-game more than the gay bar.

SPEAKER_04 14:15

The fags, as you call them, are gonna be like, Where you guys never showed up? Because yeah. So, like if you're going out for the night, you might want to check in on them because I mean, good intent, but they never make it out the door.

SPEAKER_01 14:30

I think it sounds amazing, and it makes me wonder and question why MTV stopped playing videos.

SPEAKER_03 14:37

I was and this article said the same thing. It's like is this going to be the resurgent of MTV?

SPEAKER_01 14:42

I would love it.

SPEAKER_04 14:43

Well, do you think this has anything in tied to like it's always in the news, like how expensive it is now to go to a concert? So, to your point, the concerts are being put in the movie theaters. So instead of spending $400, $500 to a concert, you still get to see it in a theater, obviously not the same experience, but they still can reach a market that otherwise is not gonna go to the concert. So now you're watching the concert, yeah, and now then they obviously after theater releases, they make it into home streaming and it I don't know, it all trickles down into getting the the a video music experience in front of people.

SPEAKER_03 15:26

Yeah, and the article actually closes saying like gay guy music video nights lineup includes more than just music video gay guys, like it's a three-hour multimedia journey to every corner of pop culture that the queer people specifically find entertaining or funny.

SPEAKER_01 15:44

I love it, and I kind of want a friend of mine to have a gay guy music game. Yes, and I want it, and I'm inviting myself, like that or otherwise. She's gonna come in with us next. Yeah, whether the gays are inviting me or not, I'm showing up.

SPEAKER_04 15:59

It could be a selling point. We could be like, she will bring stamps. Yeah. What about gay women? Are they doing this with HGTV?

SPEAKER_03 16:08

Uncle Kathy's.

SPEAKER_04 16:08

Are they doing pre-game pre-game HGTV?

SPEAKER_03 16:12

I mean, probably fix her uppers, fix her upper. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:16

I taught the doctor about Uncle Kathy's this weekend because we were out at the bar and night. Well, they were chatting with us, and then off to the side, I said, take note of this woman in the green because she's an Uncle Kathy. I'll tell you what that is later.

SPEAKER_03 16:32

You're welcome, doctor.

SPEAKER_01 16:33

Oh, yes. So he was like, Oh, I had no idea.

SPEAKER_03 16:36

Yeah, gay guy music video nights. I mean, this weekend is the weekend.

SPEAKER_01 16:42

Yeah. I think they could. I think the two. So I'm inviting myself and the couple cathy. So I bring an entourage.

SPEAKER_04 16:50

Okay.

unknown 16:51

Yeah. All right.

SPEAKER_03 16:51

I was just saying, like a weekend like today in Detroit is a big weekend for the electronic music. Like the movement is happening. That's not my style of like going out. But if those those music videos will be in my T in our in your TV right now, I wouldn't mind it. I would love it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:11

I would love, love, love it. And I support it. And I will tell you, I still miss to this day that I just can't throw on MTV while I'm getting ready, just have a videos playing. Like I trust me, I love some of the reality show content on there, but I don't need to see ridiculousness on there every other time I turn it on.

SPEAKER_04 17:32

Literally, right?

SPEAKER_01 17:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 17:34

Well, everything that's old is new again. So maybe there's conversations being had and MTV will come back.

SPEAKER_01 17:40

I love it. A VJ. I would love to get some VJs back.

SPEAKER_04 17:44

Give us a read, lady. Whatever you go. Oh, she got something.

SPEAKER_04 17:59

That's me. That's me. Now I this is allegedly. I've I hear that it's rooted in some fact, not at $500 price ticket, but there is a like a uh an old wives' tale, if you will. But quite honestly, I can't believe it doesn't exist. And I think we have a business opportunity in front of us. And what an amazing thing. So I don't I think I'm pointing out the obvious, but you know, there's been movies, and there's always a woman dressed in like black with a veil, perhaps, comes in, maybe sits in the second to last row.

Detroit Dildo Company Viral Confusion

SPEAKER_04 23:35

Detroit dildo company, real or fake. So here we are again with another is it real?

SPEAKER_03 23:42

Detroit has a dildo company.

SPEAKER_04 23:43

But if it's not real, well, oh, it's not mine. This is yours, right?

SPEAKER_01 23:47

Well, you guys know about it because it's it's going viral all around Detroit. Manifest the dildos. So this whole thing called the Detroit Dildo Company is like people say it's true, it's not true. Well, the reality is it's true in the fact that there is a company that I guess jokingly kind of goes by Detroit Dildo Company, and they're called NowPac, and they're actually based in Ferndale, Michigan, which is where we record the podcast. Yep. We're a suburb of Detroit, and apparently NowPac is America's leading adult toy distributor. They stock over 20,000 items, and they have this huge warehouse in Ferndale and they ship worldwide. And apparently they are the leading number one employer in Ferndale.

SPEAKER_03 24:41

Really?

SPEAKER_01 24:41

Which who knew?

SPEAKER_03 24:44

But I don't know if it's the company in Ferndale, but I have seen videos of this older woman making and assembling the dildos, and it's it's quite interesting.

SPEAKER_01 24:58

Oh yeah, I think it is.

SPEAKER_03 24:59

They are very like Fern diligent. The Detroit dildo. I don't know if it's a Detroit. Or just random dildo video making. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 25:07

What is it? A Detroit-based dildo company?

SPEAKER_03 25:10

No, just a worldwide base. Oh. But just older women.

SPEAKER_01 25:15

Well, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 25:17

I mean, that doesn't just pop up.

SPEAKER_03 25:19

Ever since you shared that story, it's just been popped up.

SPEAKER_01 25:21

Well, and so it has recently gone viral, which is how I saw it is there is this like mock-up that this company is supposedly turning part of their warehouse into a store, a coffee shop called The Velvet Tip, and this like magical garden that you can walk through. And they're showing this mock-up that says in huge neon letters, Detroit Dildo Company. And supposedly there was a big unveiling of like what the new company outskirts of this warehouse is going to look like, and that the neighborhoods around NALPAC, aka Detroit Dildo Company are in an uproar because they don't want to see dildo and bright lights out their windows.

SPEAKER_03 26:09

You get your dildo and you flick the bean with the cookie.

SPEAKER_01 26:12

But it's not, it's in a warehousey area. Like I don't know that there's really a lot of like houses that close to it. So I it's all very mysterious and it's hard to get a handle on what's true and what's not true because there is a real company that really does employ all these people in Ferndale that is shipping and stocking and making these items.

SPEAKER_04 26:36

I have lived in this community for 12 years. And for a company to exist and be the largest employer for that community, and I've never met a single person that is employed by the dildo. Do you think that they will say it though? Or have I even heard about the dildo company?

SPEAKER_01 26:57

Well, it's yeah, NALPAC.

SPEAKER_04 26:59

NALPAC. Or NAL.

SPEAKER_01 27:01

N-A-L-P-H-C.

SPEAKER_04 27:02

I am very curious to get to the bottom.

SPEAKER_03 27:07

Yeah, but if I if you were to meet somebody, if you were to meet somebody, just the tip of the story. If you were to if you were to meet somebody and they say I work at Nelpac, yeah. You would know one way or the other.

SPEAKER_01 27:21

Now you do.

SPEAKER_04 27:22

Now I do. So I'll be listening. Now I'll be listening for now.

SPEAKER_03 27:26

Now no and you N-A-L-T.

SPEAKER_01 27:30

So I say Nal Pac, but it might be now pack. Now I guess it's all how you want to pronounce that A.

SPEAKER_04 27:38

Now.

SPEAKER_01 27:38

Well, and if you ever hear of this new coffee shop coming up called The Velvet Tip, you'll know they made part of their dreams come true.

SPEAKER_03 27:46

Yeah. Yeah. So yeah. A little bean, a little foam.

SPEAKER_01 27:50

You would think in today's age you could really nail down what's true or not, but some of these stories go crazy. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 27:57

It is. Yeah. It is hard. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 28:00

And yes, I tried Chat GPT. It didn't really come through. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 28:05

All right.

SPEAKER_01 28:06

Well, I already know people are coming for us.

SPEAKER_03 28:09

Oh.

Kindergarten Graduation Brawl Fallout

SPEAKER_03 28:10

The kindergarten graduation brawl.

SPEAKER_04 28:13

That was me.

SPEAKER_03 28:14

Oh.

SPEAKER_04 28:15

This is 100% true, folks. This is 100% true. It has gone viral. It's been on all the major news outlets. It's despicable. And you would think it could be a Florida story, but no, it's a Toledo story. And Toledo is just under an hour's drive, or right around an hour's drive, maybe from 25 minutes, 15. Okay. Okay, here's the deeds for it. Happened this past Thursday morning on May 21st. It was at a kindergarten graduation ceremony, which could be a whole other topic because it does seem like every coworker I have, every year, children are graduating. I'm great. Oh, I've got my child's second grade graduation. We didn't have any more.

SPEAKER_03 29:02

Yeah, two of my sisters had t-shirts. There's something.

SPEAKER_04 29:05

So it's no wonder these parents are losing their minds and starting to pull people's hair.

SPEAKER_03 29:10

And they asked for quotes for the gowns and quotes for the party.

SPEAKER_04 29:14

Something else.

SPEAKER_03 29:15

Fees for everything, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 29:16

Okay, so this was at the Queen of Apostles School in Toledo. Um the the kindergartners luckily were not in the room because graduation had not started. And what had happened was there was um the families were getting seated. There was um a group. Now I do hate these types of people who are like claiming and saving seats and moving chairs around, and like this is reserved, and they're moving and rearranging everything so they can get a good seat. Well, apparently, one of the women or um a man or whatever, I guess, parents, Craig Mays was another one who was moving chairs, and they got upset with him, and he someone ended up sucker punching him. A woman sucker punched this man. Wow.

SPEAKER_05 30:08

Wow, that's interesting.

SPEAKER_04 30:09

But then other women attacked the woman that sucker punched the man that was moving the chairs around. It became a huge physical, all-out brawl, multi-person. Um, this Jessica Anderson, uh, 28 was this isn't funny. But she grabbed the woman's hair and slammed her head into a chair.

SPEAKER_01 30:34

Not funny, but I'm getting like I'm this is like WE like WWE. You know how they take the man's head and smash it into the well in a very cherry springer, too.

SPEAKER_04 30:45

But but real life, yeah. Yeah, and she ended up going to well, she got arrested. And that's awful. The other woman, the woman that got hit, had to go to the hospital and get stitches. Needless to say, graduation was canceled. Well, of course, but these of all the kids poor kindergartners. Of course, because you can only graduate from kindergarten once.

SPEAKER_01 31:09

Yes, exactly.

SPEAKER_04 31:09

All those memories.

SPEAKER_01 31:11

Well, plus, I feel like that doesn't really show like a good display to these children of how you should act. Yeah, you don't think, yeah, no, exactly. Like it's one thing you hear of this stuff happening at sporting events all the time, and I don't support it, but I can kind of get it. Like everyone's cheering, everyone gets heightened. Um, sports people get very into, but like a graduation seems insane that you would get to that level of craziness.

SPEAKER_04 31:39

Yeah, 100%. But I mean, parents are usually the biggest children of all.

SPEAKER_02 31:44

Well, 100%.

SPEAKER_03 31:48

I think this is the last one.

SPEAKER_04 31:50

Is it? Yeah, okay.

Adult Pacifiers And Anxiety Coping

SPEAKER_03 31:52

Adult pacifier trend. And this came, it's mine.

SPEAKER_04 31:56

Wow, you are gravitating towards your own poles. You have to pull yourself.

SPEAKER_01 32:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 32:00

I'm gonna before I go into the story. Did you both use pacifiers as kids? You remember?

SPEAKER_01 32:07

Um, yes, but I was a big thumb sucker. Oh, you were it was bad because then I obviously had to have braces because they say if you suck your thumb, then you have to have braces, which pacifiers are supposed to stop. But I think there was there's times where it was like thumb sucking can be okay, pacifiers are good, you know. Like I think they've gone back and forth sometimes, but yeah, supposedly sucking your thumb is bad, and then it you're gonna have to have braces.

SPEAKER_03 32:34

Well, according to the New York Post, adults are now bringing the pacifier back and they're sucking on pacifiers.

SPEAKER_01 32:42

I wouldn't want to.

SPEAKER_03 32:42

Adults are yes, because it has it's a bit a little bit of a conflict because this pacifier trend trend is because they claim that their therapists and psych like psychiatrists have recommended them to use the pacifier to bring like to calm them down on their stress, anxiety. Some claim that the ADHD has slowered down because sucking on the pacifier. But according to the New York Post, dentists are really opposed to this is impacting their biting, including their swallowing. Um, and because of this, they've created this now because they've been they were sucking on kids, you know, you know, version or size pacifier.

SPEAKER_05 33:35

Now I'm trying to think uh pacifier.

SPEAKER_03 33:38

They were sucking on kids' like kids, like children's pacifier, like there's the size of them. So now companies are creating bigger pacifiers that are like up to $70 for them to be able to suck on a pacifier.

SPEAKER_04 33:52

I would think there is other ways to have a trendy pacifier.

SPEAKER_01 33:55

Yeah, I think there's other ways, like I can see. Other things you can suck to like break out of your ADHD.

SPEAKER_03 34:02

Yeah. So yeah, that's I I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 34:05

When you say like how many people are we talking about? It seems niche, like a niche population of folks. I would like to do some deep dives into this.

SPEAKER_03 34:15

I mean, they they I'm gonna say this mainly is Gen Cers that are doing this, uh not as our generation. That's yeah.

SPEAKER_04 34:28

Yeah. Would you do it? Would you sound like it doesn't sound appealing to me?

SPEAKER_01 34:33

But I also kind of take it to these therapists. I think they're maybe shouldn't be encouraging it.

SPEAKER_04 34:39

Well, yeah, I don't, it seems like odd. Like you I just learned this past weekend that one good thing you can do is hold on to ice, like ice cubes.

SPEAKER_03 34:50

Oh, really?

SPEAKER_04 34:51

Yeah, to like break you out of like a thought, a negative spiral, uh, an ADHD moment. I think, you know, because it's like a sensation.

SPEAKER_03 35:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 35:03

I don't know. Like if I were sucking a pacifier, I feel like it would be trading one, I I'd be almost creating another dependency on something that it might not be great. It yeah, I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 35:17

It says that it kind of goes in the same as like the fidgets and like the stress balls, like the spinners. So the pacifiers like going in the middle of the state.

SPEAKER_04 35:25

Let me ask you this. Yeah, if you had to choose between dating somebody that vaped or dating somebody that had a pacifier uh predilection, is that the word? Predict predic predicate predile preference.

SPEAKER_01 35:43

I think predication.

SPEAKER_04 35:44

Predile?

SPEAKER_01 35:45

I don't know what that I know what you're trying to say.

SPEAKER_04 35:49

Uh like liked a pacifier like a pacifier vape or pacifier?

SPEAKER_03 35:56

Vape. Vape.

SPEAKER_04 35:58

Neither. I'm not doing them.

SPEAKER_03 35:59

Well, you have to pick one or the other. If you have to pick one or the other.

SPEAKER_01 36:05

I mean, I'm like a po like both would be a problem unless they were actively trying to kick it. If they're actively trying to stop it, I will date them.

SPEAKER_04 36:14

Yeah. Both.

SPEAKER_01 36:15

Toe tip. Both, yeah. But it better be like getting wrapped up quickly.

SPEAKER_04 36:20

Oh, as long as they're showing uh an effort towards getting rid of both.

SPEAKER_01 36:26

Correct. And I when I say when you say effort, I mean very strong progression.

SPEAKER_03 36:32

Okay. Yeah. I don't I fear that we might see people out and about with the pacifier.

SPEAKER_01 36:38

I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 36:40

Pride's coming up. Pride coming up. Pride's coming up, Vegan. Oh my god, pride is next weekend. Let's be on the lookout. Yeah. Because we see things at priority, and then it starts to pacifiers.

SPEAKER_03 36:51

You can I think that we're gonna see it. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_04 36:53

I bet and they'll end the little bit. I bet there'll be like even like the you know, the kids have the pacifier. Yeah, you tie it to something on their clothes.

SPEAKER_03 37:00

Don't you remember there was a trend with like you had like this like a pacifier necklace and then like in the 90s or don't you remember it was like a little charm?

SPEAKER_01 37:09

Now you say that, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 37:10

Like a little like plastic or glass, like yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 37:14

So when I see them, well, we'll more to come.

Adidas Mary Jane Sneakers Recommendation

SPEAKER_04 39:14

We should start um an Amazon. What do they call you? Make a little Amazon wish list.

SPEAKER_03 39:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 39:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 39:21

Well, you can slip in on our Link Tree. Yeah. That's pretty much our wish list. Oh, well.

SPEAKER_01 39:26

Well, I mean, most of the stuff on the Link Tree are things that we have purchased, we own, we love, or sampled. We don't really put things up there that we're not fans of.

SPEAKER_03 39:35

That's correct.

SPEAKER_01 39:36

Yeah. But sometimes they're items that I purchase continually. They're regular items. Well, and speaking of that, there's something that I'm kind of obsessed with right now. I bought one pair as like, oh, I'm gonna see how this goes. And now, like, I find myself, I think I'm buying a couple more pairs. But anyway, it is the Adidas Bereda Mary Jane sneaker. So I wanted to toe tip into this like ballet centric shoe.

SPEAKER_04 40:08

Toe-tip into ballet. That'll be a little bit more. Yep, exactly.

SPEAKER_01 40:11

So anyway, the I got these as a tryout, and these are the Adidas women's Bereda Mary Jane sneakers. They come in like so many colors. I got the white and silver, but they have an all silver, they have red, they have green, they have black, they have brown, they have pastel pink, they have baby blue. Uh they're $69.99, but you can sometimes find them, buy one, get one half off. Um, they are slip-on, so they're easy and quick to put on.

SPEAKER_03 40:45

Is it comfy?

SPEAKER_01 40:46

Yes, they have a cloud foam cushion in the bottom. And so they're super comfortable, easy to wear, great to slip on and off. Uh, I highly, highly recommend them. Yes.

SPEAKER_04 40:57

Do you know that it's actually their company name is Adidas? Yeah, we talked about this, though.

SPEAKER_01 41:03

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 41:04

Did we do this already?

SPEAKER_01 41:05

Yeah, but you said it was some weird thing that ended up being false and not true.

SPEAKER_03 41:10

Well, Adidas is true. Yeah, Adidas, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 41:12

I think that might be the way it is pronounced. Oh, I said different language.

SPEAKER_04 41:17

Yeah, I said, but I never said this was true. I said this was kids slaying back in the days. All day I dream about sex. We'll rewind up.

SPEAKER_01 41:27

This is what it stood for. No, that's that even.

SPEAKER_04 41:30

That's what we talked about before. We did see Adidas.

SPEAKER_03 41:33

Megan and I, we did share some light light on the Adidas and the founder and the creator of it. Yeah. Yes. Repeat.

SPEAKER_01 41:40

Yes. So in the reruns. I'm gonna put them on our link tree if you're interested. If you're looking to kind of get into that um ballet shoe esque trend, or even kind of they're kind of like the hipper cool shoe to wear for the summer, and you want a little pop of color, these are the best things you can get.

SPEAKER_03 42:01

Awesome.

SPEAKER_01 42:02

And super comfortable.

SPEAKER_03 42:03

Awesome. $69.99.

SPEAKER_01 42:05

Trust her.

SPEAKER_03 42:07

Yeah, because we I cannot fit them. Well, so I am not gonna wear a ballet.

SPEAKER_01 42:12

No, but what I would say, there's a men's version. There's a men's version of that. Pacifiers are women's ballet shoes.

SPEAKER_03 42:20

What would you do? There's a there's a men's version.

SPEAKER_01 42:22

The there's a men's version, and these aren't ballet shoes. Oh they're ballet should be able to show you.

SPEAKER_03 42:27

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 42:28

So they're not ballet shoes.

SPEAKER_03 42:30

What you can do though is like me, wait until the Bat Bunny and Adidas collab drops this week and get some I've seen these, some of those shoes. I am I yeah, I'm on a waiting list for that. I'm hoping.

SPEAKER_01 42:46

Yeah, and those are called ballet shoes. They are, yeah, and they're like I just said ballet shoes, and I was told they weren't ballet shoes. Well, they're not.

SPEAKER_03 42:53

They're not, but they're they're like the ballet shapesque. Yeah, they're balayesque. Oh, I like balayasque.

SPEAKER_04 42:59

Like it's one word.

SPEAKER_03 43:01

Well, this is balayesque.

Slip It Ins And Pull It Outs Roundup

SPEAKER_03 43:03

Let's just talk a little bit about some slip it ins and pull outs. Yeah, I'm gonna do it. And I'm gonna start with mine. Let's do it. And I just mentioned uh one of my big, big, big fan um fans, I'm I'm a fan of, is Bad Bunny. Um, Bad Bunny just recently dropped a collab with one of my favorite clothing brands, Zara. And he, as we've talked about in the past, he wants to bring more business to the island of Puerto Rico. He they unveiled a full-on store, just Zara and Bad Bunny, big long lines, old people, like they it's just a a big crave, and I just love that. He just continues to um put the spotlight on the island.

SPEAKER_04 43:46

I saw like a mock up of the store and stuff, and it's good. Like everything he touches from a collab. He seems to be involved with a lot of collabs, because I also saw there's a new chair coming out.

SPEAKER_03 44:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 44:00

And you mentioned the Adidas and now the Zara line, and it's just like, yeah, it's pretty. I mean, like, again, it was bagging groceries for like three years ago. Exactly. Yeah, 10 years ago. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 44:12

Wow. My pull it out is traveling without a bidet. It's it's just, I think, I wish, and this is one of the things that Maddie always says if you have a situ a problem, let's just try to find a solution. I don't know how. I wish there was like a portable travel bidet. A travel bid that you can kind of when we go into our friend's house and we know that they don't have a bidet, it's just a lot of work. It's a headache. It's a lot of work. I don't like it. I don't like it at all. No, I agree.

SPEAKER_04 44:48

Yeah, it's not that's what they say. If there's something you if you ever say to yourself out loud, I wish there was something that did this, yeah, and legitimately when you Google it, there isn't, then you can you're probably not the only one with that issue or need, and that's there's your window.

SPEAKER_03 45:07

And some friends might say you can just get like dude wipes or like like just regular wipes, but it's not the same. No, it is not the same. So I missed it.

SPEAKER_01 45:16

Yeah. Well, I think you just need to travel more to like Japan, where the hotels all have. Well, or as America, we need to get more positive, which is slowly happening.

SPEAKER_03 45:29

There are some hotels now that they have that they have them, yes.

SPEAKER_01 45:32

And some of your friends have a Toto toilet, so you don't need to worry.

SPEAKER_03 45:38

So that is my slippet and empowerment.

SPEAKER_04 45:40

I'm looking right now to see if I can find a travel. Yes, there I'll treat this as a practical product question. And there are uh travel bidets are absolutely a thing, they are a tiny shower wind for your tiny dignity. And there are three different types. So here's one you can get. Oh, Tushy has one, but it's like manual. Yeah, no, I need something with batteries.

SPEAKER_01 46:10

I don't think I need the pressure. Plus, like, what are you gonna do? You're gonna pack it in your suitcase. I don't know. I mean, that just seems weird and crazy. It's a little extreme in my book.

unknown 46:22

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 46:23

Any of you have a slip it in below? I'll have.

SPEAKER_01 46:26

So yeah, well, I'm gonna move on from the uh bathroom.

SPEAKER_03 46:30

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 46:31

Um, so my slip it in is this past weekend. I was in Cleveland and saw the Bruce Springsteen Land of Hope and Dreams tour.

SPEAKER_05 46:40

Awesome.

SPEAKER_01 46:41

It was amazing. I would encourage anyone to go see it, except I think his last show is May 30th. Oh, really? I don't think you'll have the chance. Anyway, this tour was so great because it's a powerful example of what an artist can do by using music to engage civic life and big picture American themes. His performance was framed around ideas of democracy, freedom, and a shared natural identity. Sorry, national identity, which basically drew upon his same working class themes he's always had throughout his career, along with like moral optimism and just really driving forward that we as Americans live in a great country and we have the ability to make a change for the good just by getting out there and voting and speaking up.

SPEAKER_00 47:33

Awesome.

SPEAKER_01 47:33

And he ended it on, you know, let's get into some good trouble, which is a phrase that I have always loved from um the uh class issues and the right to vote that happened years ago. So um it was so great to see in today's world, especially everything that's currently going on in our country.

SPEAKER_03 47:54

Awesome. So I'm gonna add Bruce to the list for the gay guy video night.

SPEAKER_01 47:59

Yeah, you should. You know, there was, we were at the bar before the show, and there were two guys who had on white t-shirts and red bandanas tied around their head, and they in like their jeans on with them rolled up at the bottom, like totally how Bruce looked, like kind of on the um what was it?

SPEAKER_04 48:19

Uh born in the USA. Born in the USA. Yeah, I couldn't think of it.

SPEAKER_01 48:23

Well, you were either a Bruce girl or a Michael girl, and I was a Michael Jackson girl, as we all know. So the doctor likes the Bruce, so I have like supported him in it. And you have to acknowledge someone who's had in a career like a career like Bruce Springsteen puts on an amazing show and is always worthwhile to see. That's definitely a slipping. Plus, he looks amazing. He's 77 years old. That's crazy. So, anyway, it was a great show. I encourage anyone if you get the chance to see Bruce when he's out and about, you should go see him. So, my pull it out is kind of sad. I was reading through next door, and someone posted a picture of this mallard duck on the side of the road, a male mallard duck, and laying next to him was his female mallard duck, who I think had been hit by a car and was dead.

SPEAKER_03 49:15

They were both dead?

SPEAKER_01 49:16

No, the male was not, but he wouldn't leave. So someone drove by and then they set and saw it and was hoping that the duck wasn't alive, but came back by two hours later, and the male duck was still just standing there, and the female duck had not moved. So it was so sad because supposedly they mate for life, but I think they do move on, but he's now still just hanging out on the side of the road.

SPEAKER_03 49:40

That shows how animals also experience grief.

SPEAKER_01 49:43

Well, it was a pull it out. I just saw it I just saw it today, and it was awful. And I haven't got been able to like get this picture out of my head since I saw it, so that is a pull it about.

SPEAKER_04 49:55

Um, well, my pull it out is maxing.

SPEAKER_01 50:00

Oh, just like clavicular.

SPEAKER_04 50:02

Yes. So it's interesting. We talked about it earlier, but it's maxing in the sense of everything now is maxing. There's fiber maxing, there's protein maxing, there's even poop maxing. Like, if you watch, like there's so many gummies about gut health and all that stuff. All of the things are rooted in something positive, but like, does it have to be maxing? So it's a little too much maxing for me. So that's my uh pull it out and we'll end on a positive note. My slip it in is Survivor 50 finale.

SPEAKER_03 50:40

Oh wow. So good.

SPEAKER_04 50:42

In the sense of spending it with my friends who are always a part of the league. We watched in person together. We all took the next day off of work just to like enjoy Survivor, not have to worry about schedules the next day. You know, we all have some opinions about who was the top five, four, three, two, one. But ultimately, we love this is a tradition we've had for several, several years. Yeah. Um, and it was kind of iconic when Jeff Propes screwed up. Uh, if you don't know that story, I don't know, it's all over the news, but you may not be a survivor fan, so you might not have clocked it. But it was a fun night. I can't wait till the next season. We might know somebody that's applying. I'll leave it there. Oh, I love that. That is my slide.
