Questions or Comments: Slip It In Here!

We jump from Pride Month chaos to a CNN moment that feels tailor-made for us when Andy Cohen surprises Anderson Cooper and the conversation somehow circles back to our infamous “favorite nuts” question. Along the way we obsess over a July 3 Times Square ball drop, Madonna’s Grindr-powered pop-up, a surprisingly deep would-you-rather, and the everyday drama of products, payments, and backyard mysteries. 

• Matty spotting Andy Cohen on CNN and the “favorite nut” callback
• Revisiting AC2 in Chicago and how the nut question keeps spreading
• America 250 coverage, eight Times Square ball drops, and broadcast-only logistics
• Madonna’s Times Square performance sparked by a Grindr notification
• Pre-pride pump routines, “looks maxing,” and Madonna as the blueprint
• Would you rather live without sex, love, or money, and why
• Blue Lagoon Iceland Skin Science lip balm review and the $45 price tag
• Slip It In and Pull It Out picks, Apple Pay redemption and cheese paper frustration
• Creature feature update on Jack the flying squirrel and a Summer House reunion shout
• Matty's office side hustle moment and the backyard bird murder mystery

Speaker 4

We are back slipping it in with you.

Speaker 4

Hello, hello, boys.

Speaker 7

We're still in Pride Month. Celebrating. I love it. Early days of Pride.

Speaker 4

Pride month. And Maddie, you're wearing I never see you in a plain basic hat with nothing on it.

Speaker 7

Well, it's Pride Month, and sponsorships are available. This is free, real not free, but this is real estate. Oh, okay. I'm open for collabs.

Speaker 4

I love it. I was expecting a little something more colorful and fun.

Speaker 6

I do like a plain hat sometimes. I'm not a big logo type of thing, type of person, but yeah, I approve it.

Speaker 7

You approve it?

Speaker 6

I mean, I don't approve the little slight. Oh, really?

Speaker 4

You are not a 90s rapper. This is not kid and play tape. I like it. I like it.

Speaker 7

You do you, boo. I like a little lean to the right.

Speaker 5

It looks ridiculous. Oh, it's on your dicks.

Speaker 7

Yep.

unknown

Oh.

Speaker 4

But I see JJ. You're into the comments. Show up.

Speaker 7

Show up in the comments whether you think this is ridiculous.

Speaker 4

Okay. So please, do you are you with Maddie?

Speaker 6

Or are you with Megan and I?

Speaker 4

And JJ, exactly. Who are the facts of the group? Well, let's see. We know that.

Speaker 7

Well, it's fine. You guys are obscene.

Andy Cohen Crashes CNN Birthday Bit

Speaker 4

Okay. Well, slippers, let's just say we have had an unexpectedly crazy but very good week.

Speaker 6

Unexpected is right.

Speaker 4

Yes, very unexpected. So, Maddie, can you tell us what happened on Wednesday?

Speaker 7

Wednesday. Yes. I am going through my normal routine, which is, you know, after work, I typically will do a workout. I make myself some dinner. I set up shop in the living room, and I'm working on my computer. And I have CNN on in the background.

Speaker 6

Not dateline.

Speaker 7

Not dateline. Wait, this is still early in the evening, Jason.

Speaker 6

Oh, this is not bedtime.

Speaker 7

This is not bedtime.

Speaker 6

Okay.

Speaker 7

This is I'm getting my news and I'm keeping up on the world events. And so I have Anderson Cooper on, who is like a legit top notch. Top notch. Yeah, newsman.

Speaker 6

And we are big fans.

Speaker 7

I love a Vanderbilt. And so I am listening to him talking about, you know, whatever war is going on. I know what war is, but we're not war is going on, but we're not here to talk about it. But all of a sudden, what happens? But somebody surprises him, and I honestly think it was I honestly don't think Anderson knew. But Andy Cohen pops into the screen with balloons and a cake because it's Anderson's birthday.

Speaker 6

Well, Andy's birthday is June 2nd. Yeah. And Anderson's birthday is June 3rd. They are besties. Right.

Speaker 7

I mean, I I got it. I get that part of it. But I didn't like I don't think anyone expected.

Speaker 6

You don't think it was a bit?

Speaker 7

I mean, I do think everyone was in on the bit, clearly, except for Anderson. Because Andy kept saying to Anderson, like, we've got to fill three and a half minutes. So like they knew what was going on, but I don't think Anderson did. Because I mean it felt real to me. I don't know. Maybe he did know and he just did did a good job. But anyway, so they're talking and it's a three and a half minute bit. Again, I'm I'm listening, I'm kind of glancing up, I'm doing my work. Andy asks Anderson, like, Well, what did you do on today's your birthday? What how did your day start off? What'd you do? And he's like, I'm lying in bed, the kids come up, and they give me pecan pie in bed. And Andy goes, Oh, pecan pie. Would you say that's your favorite nuts? And I'm like, holy shit. This is a this is an extenuation, is that right? A continuation of what has happened with us as a podcast. And my question that I asked them when we did the trip to Chicago to see AC2, like, how when was that? March. March. March. And so for those of you that might be not like listening to all of our podcasts, really quickly, the three of us went to AC2 in Chicago in March, and they had a segment where guests could get up and ask questions. Okay. Fast forward, I ask, what are your top three nuts? Which is what we also do with our guests. Yes. And they answered it. And the next morning, it was on Andy's radio show and then with John Hill. With John Hill. And then I mean it was great.

Speaker 6

So this really tells me that Andy really has been speaking to his close friends about his nuts. Absolutely.

Speaker 7

Well, can we just cue maybe cue the clip from the CNN? Because it it'll it'll tell the story. So you can have said what the clip was.

Speaker 6

Did you want to play it?

Speaker 7

It doesn't diminish the clip. Let's hear it from the horse's mouth. Okay. Just it doesn't matter. Play it.

Speaker

Were your my kids were so excited it was my birthday. Were your shit? Yeah, they came in, they woke me up this morning. I normally wake them up. They woke me up this morning with a uh a pecan pie. Oh. Because it's my favorite. Is it? Yeah. Your favorite nut, would you say? No, I wouldn't eat a pecan normally, but uh in a piece of pie form, I just think it's glorious. Yeah.

Speaker 5

Glorious. He thinks, yeah.

Speaker 7

See, my dad's the same. My dad feels the same way about a pecan and a pecan pie.

Speaker 6

I do like me on pecan pie.

Speaker 7

I love a uh well, I say pecan.

Speaker 6

Well, I said pecan.

Speaker 2

Yep.

Speaker 7

But I do also respect Anderson for not changing his nuts on the spot. No? Because in Chicago, he was what? There was a noble cashew.

Speaker 6

Cashew. Kirka, but yes, so noble. And so tasty. That's what he said. Tasty.

Speaker 7

And there was something else.

Speaker 6

The lonely peanut. The lonely peanut was on his list. Ice.

Speaker 4

Well, I call him a whore peanut. That's my new way to reference a peanut. Those whores. I need a whore.

Speaker 5

Yeah.

unknown

Yeah.

Speaker 5

And there was one other the healthy almond.

Speaker 7

Almond. Right. Yeah. So, like when challenged by Andy, is this a favorite nut? No. Still no. Nope. No. Nope. He clarified. And so it sent us into a little tizzy. We all got online and on the phones. And it was it was nice because it's like Andy is still talking about the nuts. This I love it.

Speaker 4

April May.

Speaker 6

Slippers, if your nuts have changed, let us know.

Speaker 4

We want to hear from you. Yeah. Yeah.

America 250 And The July 3 Ball

Speaker 4

I so I kind of suspect um this whole let's surprise Anderson for his birthday by Andy was like just to do more promo for this July 3rd special. Oh, it is. It was. That was a big topic. So for anyone who has not heard, this is like huge news that just dropped. Anderson and Andy are doing a dropping the ball uh CNN exclusive for the 250.

Speaker 6

First time ever that somebody has done something like that, right?

Speaker 4

Well, this is the first time it's ever happening. So for anyone that doesn't know, New York City is dropping a ball on July 3rd. They're dropping it eight times for each of the U.S. time zones from Guam to an American Samoa for America's 250th birthday. So never have they ever dropped a ball in New York City except on New Year's Eve. And now they're going to drop it eight times on July 3rd.

Speaker 7

Well, and Andy said a summertime ball drop sounds lovely to him. Oh, Andy loves a ball. He said it on CNN, and you can imagine Anderson. He's like blushing and he's like, oh Jesus.

Speaker 4

The giggle, the giggle, the giggles. He loves it. He does loves a little crazy pseudonym here.

Speaker 7

So eight ball drops.

Speaker 4

Yep. On July 3rd. It's an AC2 special, just like they do on New Year's Eve, the two of them. Plus, I'm assuming they'll have some celebrities, some friends. I don't know. We'll see.

Speaker 7

Um they also said that this is the first time that they are going to be drinking beer instead of champagne and shots, I guess. They might do shots, but and they said they also have made it a Portageon available to them. Yes. Yes. They're very excited. They're so excited. He was like, breaking news.

Speaker 4

Yes.

Speaker 7

This is breaking news. Yeah. We have a potty.

Speaker 4

Well, that helps with their drinking because normally they don't have a potty and they have to hold it the whole show.

Speaker 7

Well, and I would I feel like when I drink beer, it goes through me faster. I don't know. Correct.

Speaker 4

That's probably why they're doing beer now.

Speaker 7

Yeah. Yeah. And how why they were like, we can do this.

Speaker 6

But he said that it's like they're drinking beer because it's America's right.

Speaker 4

Yes, it's our like drink. But what's interesting, and I was like, oh, this is kind of cool. Now people can go to Times Square to watch these balls drop and they have nice warm weather instead of being in the freezing cold for all day on the sweaty balls instead of freezing balls. Times Square will be shut down. No fans are allowed in.

Speaker 5

No, because of FIFA.

Speaker 4

Yeah. The World Cup, there's some security restrictions in place.

Speaker 7

That makes sense, though.

Speaker 4

There is no public viewing in the Times Square Plazas due to this July 3rd event. It's broadcast only with very, very limited access for people to get into the Times Square area.

Speaker 7

Well, you know, a hot sun does get people crazy. So maybe it's also like good that I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. But I don't know. I mean, like, I'm happy about it. We're gonna be where? And the cabin. At the cabin. Like, we're just crossing our fingers that we can get a signal.

Speaker 4

Well, if things go awry with any of this America 250 celebration, we're gonna be kind of in our own little we'll have our own little bunker.

Speaker 7

Yeah, we're gonna scream.

Speaker 4

Yeah, I mean, yeah, there's something that I do think because I'm careful about the pigs.

Speaker 5

Oh my god, I forgot about the pigs. Pigs gotta eat. They gotta eat.

Speaker 4

So but let me tell you, um, this I get kind of excited because I love this ball.

Speaker 7

Would you say giddy?

Speaker 4

Yeah, I'm giddy. So the ball that they drop in Times Square, it's from Tiffany. And when they've upgraded it over these different years, that you can like do all these different designs and lights and stuff. Well, now for this special America 250 event, there's gonna be eight special edition ball designs that we've never seen before with custom patriotic lighting. So I'm like kind of really excited to see how these balls drop, and they're gonna be dropping all throughout the day.

Speaker 6

I'm excited about that too.

Speaker 4

I know you guys love your balls when they drop Pride Month. Yep, gotta get those balls in.

Madonna’s Grindr Alert Hits Times Square

Speaker 6

I mean, I have to say too, like kind of transitioning into that, talking about Times Square and everything, like Madonna just in which Andy is a huge Madonna fan, she just dropped the not the ball, but she dropped the full-on grinder and Pride Month and all the things. She's just shut down Times Square. You know how she did it? She just sent a grinder notification.

Speaker 7

I mean, they send it and they will come. The guy will come.

Speaker 6

30 minutes prior to her performance in Times Square, she sent a grinder notification, whichever song you picked, into your grinders. It all went off. Everyone's Madonna songs went off. Yeah. Within 30 minutes, mother is going to play in Times Square. And she did she deliver. She delivered.

Speaker 4

Oh, it's a me. I watched it on video.

Speaker 7

Co-worker. I've well, there's two co-workers involved. So I had a co-worker tell me about the other co-worker who I know, but I didn't hear it firsthand from him. But he the story was he was on the subway going home from work and he was getting off on his stop, and his grinder got a he got a push notification that said, Mother's gonna be in Times Square in 30 minutes. And wow, that's amazing.

Speaker 6

Yes, he wishes to wish I was there.

Speaker 7

I mean, I would have fucking got it.

Speaker 6

Maddie and I are traveling to New York City in a couple weeks, and I'm like, I wish we were just there.

Speaker 7

Oh my god. I I mean we're gonna see old Mary. I'm like, we would have fucking got up and left.

Speaker

In the middle of the show.

Speaker 7

Which would have sucked. I wouldn't want to do that. But like, mothers got a mother. Yeah.

Speaker 4

Well, what's crazy is just imagine if you had one of those hotel rooms overlooking Times Square, and then Madonna's performing below.

Speaker 7

I mean, what or imagine you're at the hotel, but like you were in the restaurant and you got fucked over. But like, because the restaurants overlooked. You know how that happens? There's so many people that say, Thank God I was in the right place at the right time. And then there's all these other people that are like, Yeah, fuck, we shouldn't have left the hotel five minutes before we like some people missed it, some people got it. It's all about luck. But I'm just I'm just I was telling somebody today at work, I'm like, I'm just happy that she's back in my orbit in a way that is working.

Speaker 6

Yeah, yeah, I love it. The la the last she just did it, she's just doing it right.

Speaker 7

She's doing it right.

Speaker 6

I don't know who she's. I mean, her she if she changed her team or whatever she's doing, she and also we talked about looks maxing.

Speaker 4

She is looking absolutely, she looks amazing, and she's 67. So wow. She is like, I hope I look like her at 67.

Speaker 6

That's I was even telling Megan when we were looking at her face. I'm like, we're looking at her face, but her arms are looking great. Like she is on it, like she's doing probably heavy weights. Heavy weights. Last year she was performing with a little knee brace to pull out well.

Speaker 7

She's had a cane in a top hat.

Speaker 5

Jenna Kane.

Speaker 4

Jenna fucking cane. But she's got it together. I think she's had some hip replacement surgery. I'm sure. I mean, like I think there's a lot of things that have been replaced.

Speaker 7

At 67, I will give it to her. Yeah, I mean, she's still out there, like in her leotard, her pink leot.

Speaker 6

She was, yeah, she was kicking.

Speaker 4

Well, speaking of like looking good and getting your body together, like what do you guys do? Like, you have a pre-pride prep routine.

Speaker 6

We did a little pre-pride pump.

Speaker 4

You did. Well, what? You were pumping, like pumping weights.

Speaker 7

I do. I just made the weights available.

unknown

God.

Speaker 4

So you two were pumping weights when you went to pride.

Speaker 6

Pride or not, I typically, if I'm actually going out, I'll do a little pump. I do a little set of like biceps and like, yeah. Get the blood flowing.

Speaker 7

Excuse me. But 30 minutes ago, you had hand weights for the body.

Speaker 6

I was doing it.

Speaker 4

Well, that was that was a bit. All of a sudden, JJ popped out those little hands. I'm like, is this necessary? I mean, are you before we record to have a hand?

Speaker 6

I just do it for my forearms.

unknown

Oh.

Speaker 4

I thought that gave your hand muscles.

Speaker 6

No, for my forearms, because I am show the fans for those that are on YouTube.

Speaker 5

So those so I am just showing my forearms. Oh, so when your arms are covered, your forearms are doing all the work.

Speaker 6

Yes, they are on stage. I just okay. Well, we do JJ. But Maddie joined me on the pre-pried pump. Well, I'm now on the pump train. It's a triple P.

Speaker 2

Wow.

Speaker 6

Pre-Pried pump. Triple P. Yes.

Speaker 4

Well, you two and Madonna pumping those weights.

Speaker 7

And the next day I had postpartum depression. It was a hard recovery, but I'm here for it.

Would You Drop Sex Love Or Money

Speaker 6

Yeah. I do have a question for you guys. Um, a couple nights ago, I was watching Jimmy Fallon. Matt watches CNN. I watch Jimmy Fallon.

Speaker 3

Oh, okay. Okay.

Speaker 6

And Regina Hall, which is one of my favorite comedians, like actresses, that she's a comedic actress.

Speaker 7

She just kind of goes both ways. She does. She does. She does. She's very dramatic. She can do a very good dramatic role as well.

Speaker 6

Yeah, but is she like one of those actresses that I don't really see much of her, but when I do, I really enjoy it.

Speaker 7

Which is kind of what I kind of like that. I do. Because it's just like under the radar in terms of all the paparazzi and fame and all that stuff, but always delivers and is very well respected.

Speaker 6

Yeah. So she took a moment to ask Jamie Fallon a question that it just make me feel I need to ask Maddie and Megan about this.

Speaker 3

Oh, okay. I love it.

Speaker 6

So I told you guys to bring your paddles. You do not even know what the question is about. But the question is, would you rather live without sex, love, or money? Would you rather live without sex? Love or money? I know. I know. It made me it's a simple question.

Speaker 7

It's easy for me.

Speaker 6

It's easy for you, really. But would you rather slippers if you're listening? Would you rather live without sex, love, or money? I'm gonna give you a second, but we are on we are live.

Speaker 7

Megan, we are live. Well, not when they watch us. You gotta, I mean, Matty, you go you go, go. I'm gonna go money.

Speaker 6

Nice. Wow.

Speaker 7

It would be a run-up between sex and money. A runoff. But I would go money because money. Yeah, but money prevailed.

Speaker 6

Tell me why.

Speaker 7

Because I don't I think, you know, it sounds cliche, but they always say money is the root of all evil. Like, I don't like that's not what's gonna make me happy. It sure I can buy things with it if I have it, and there's certain things that'll like I'll enjoy having money because it'll afford me the opportunity to do things. But when it's all said and done and you're occupying your own space, you just I'd rather have love around me and then sex is yeah, like a little finger here and there. Those are don't put word, don't put fingers in my mouth. Well, that's don't put fingers in my mouth.

Speaker 6

Oh but Ohio, are you listening? Singer like secret fingering.

Speaker 4

Yeah, the secret fingering club in Ohio.

Speaker 7

Wow, that was hard to say.

Speaker 4

I know it was for me. Secret fingering club.

Speaker 7

Yeah, you got there though.

Speaker 6

But like money.

Speaker 7

Yeah, that's me. Did you come? Yep.

Speaker 6

Sex. Oh my god, this is exactly what I wanted. Because Regina said, all women can live without sex.

Speaker 4

Well, I here's the thing as long as you have money and money. Love and money. I sex, like, and I'm going the literal Bill Clinton form of sex. So there's a lot of other things that can be done. So I've got my love. I've got my love, I've got kisses, I've got fingers. Thank you all.

Speaker 7

Your own, your own fingers.

Speaker 4

So, and I've got money to travel and have nice things, and like I feel like that really oh, you're gonna hold on. You're screaming. She's making some really good points.

Speaker 7

Exactly. You're changing, and you have the love. I mean the love is the most important thing. You know what? You guys listen, I wouldn't mind having a little money.

Speaker 4

Well, I love to travel and I love like I want, I feel like I need the money to like something.

Speaker 6

Oh, you're going back to sex. Yeah, like the good thing is like she Jimmy Fallon was saying that is like when we're saying money, it doesn't mean you being a millionaire, like you being able to have access to money.

Speaker 4

But money in the sense of like you have extra money to do nice things, yes, right, yeah, like you don't have uh any money concerns, correct. Which in my mind means I can travel, I can stay in luxurious hotels when I need to and I can travel some first class flights when they're long. So that's where I go with this money.

Speaker 6

So yeah, and I am with you.

Speaker 4

Yeah, with who?

Speaker 6

Sex.

Speaker 4

Well, because it's not like all romantic situation, it's like you can do a lot.

Speaker 6

And I also like I am I I think I've I probably mentioned it on the pod or not. I'm a demisexual, like so I I'm more of a more of a connection type of thing, more than the physical. I mean the physical comes along, but right if if I have the love and I'm being able to like do the delta one to present.

Speaker 4

And you've got kisses and other things.

Speaker 7

I feel like the love for that question should just be off the table. Because like everybody I think wants a form of love. So I think it would be better to be a good idea. Well, I think it should be like sex.

Speaker 6

It's my question.

Speaker 7

No, I'm just no, I know it's your question. This isn't about that. I'm just saying Jimmy or Regina. Regina.

Speaker 6

What's the Regina's question?

Speaker 7

Yeah. Sex, money, or um, dateline.

Speaker 8

No, that's on you.

Speaker 7

What about TV? Sex, money, or TV?

Speaker 6

Money.

Speaker 7

No, that is like Okay, I'm just do, I'm just taking a spin-off.

Speaker 4

I this is a I take TV away. Like 100%. Because I can watch stuff.

Speaker 7

I believe you, JJ.

Speaker 4

I watch stuff on my phone and computer.

Speaker 6

That's that's not TV, Maddie.

Speaker 4

Exactly.

Speaker 7

All right. There's always a like you guys are like loophole. I'm a lawyer.

Speaker 6

Well, I gl I'm glad that you guys came along with the journey. I just I it was like one of those things like I like I was I was watching and I'm like, I need to take a note right now because this is a question that I need to ask.

Speaker 4

I love it. It was a great question, and it took a minute for me to think about it, but I got there. I hear a lot the whole sex or cheese business, which I think is a stupid question.

Speaker 6

I well, I mean cohen. Yeah, he loves to ask that question. The sex or cheese would you rather like give up check like um cheese, cheese or sex.

Speaker 4

I mean, I like cheese, but I don't think it's all that great. I don't even like I'll take it. I don't need it. Like, I am okay to give it up.

Speaker 6

You would no, I wouldn't give up. You wouldn't take cheese. I will take cheese.

Speaker 4

Really? No. 100%. Well, Andy has Arge launched his new boyfriend.

Speaker 6

And I bet he is not taking cheese. I'm a little disappointed, but I'm fine with that. Why are you disappointed? Because it wasn't me.

Speaker 4

Yeah. He's been on the app. He's been hinting like he had a man.

Speaker 7

Maybe he knew you were demi, and he'd be like, that's a lot of work.

Speaker 6

He likes that.

Speaker 4

Oh, he likes a demo. Oh, he does.

Speaker 6

He does like a demo. But he's a total top.

Speaker 4

Well, I guess we're hearing the pride. Now we're learning some news around.

Speaker 7

Wow. Wow, JG. This is you are um writing your memoirs as we speak. Well, I might.

Speaker 2

Well, oh, there we go.

Speaker 6

Sure. I feel complete.

Speaker 7

Oh, okay. Wow. This, you guys probably, the audience listeners probably won't believe this, but this is a true story. Because I didn't know I had picked the product before shit went down on Wednesday night. And little did I know the the universe works in mysterious ways. But this particular product also tracks back to Anderson Cooper.

Speaker 5

Silver Fox. Huh? The Silver Fox. He's yeah, I love him. Those spice.

Speaker 4

Yeah, he his arms have grown. I mean, his arms really, and Andy Cone keeps calling out his arms anytime they're together.

Speaker 7

I like it. I like it. Let me take a set.

Well, we're I've got a lot to say about this product. Okay. No, but I mean, like, I I'm ready. Top bottom. Andy. Anderson got it. Okay. Okay. All right. So I'm watching Anderson 360, and he does a CNN story. It's called the Whole CNN The Whole Story. The episode was about climate and clean energy solutions. So I want to be clear. Like, I'm going to do it.

Speaker 6

She was reviewing a product.

Speaker 7

Exactly. I want to be clear that I'm going to talk about a product. He was not pushing a product. But per usual, you know, I'm a little storyteller, so you gotta stick with me. Buckle up. So they were talking about um climate and clean energy. So they were talking about Iceland's geothermal energy. And in this particular episode, they were talking about the blue lagoon in Iceland. Oh. So it this blue lagoon has emerged from a geothermal plant water and eventually became actually they turned it into a world-famous spa. Kind of destination that people would travel to. It's on my bucket list.

Speaker 4

Yeah. Okay. Except people do say it's kind of like a tourist trap type place nowadays.

Speaker 7

But in any case, I was watching it, and to the point you guys are talking about putting it on your bucket list, I didn't know about it when I watched this episode, but I'm like, I wanna that sounds amazing. I want to go to Iceland. It's on my list. Yeah. And to have this geothermal, like wonder of the world place where you can go and sit in these lagoons and like it just looked amazing. Everything looked amazing. I did some research. So I'm looking at it, totally impressed. And then I find out that they also over time, not eventually, but people started to say that they were like using things from the lagoon and the water, and they're like, maybe there's something here, uh, and they could make some products out of it. So the company started studying what was actually in the water. The key elements were silica, silica, silica, algae, and minerals, and then that became the foundation for Blue Lagoon skin science. So you can still stay at the resort, you can buy the products. It is um you're talking the Blue Lagoon Resort, or there's another resort.

Speaker 4

Okay.

Speaker 7

But they also have what I love is like the product came later, right? Like people It's true. People went there, yeah. They started to be like, there is some real like beauty, skin, youth shit happening here in this lagoon. People were listening, and then they started, they brought science into it, and hence now they have the Blue Lagoon Iceland science project. Nice. I don't know. So anyway, I ended up buying three products off their website.

Speaker 6

Okay.

Speaker 7

One was a lotion, one was a bar of soap, which I purchased to be honest, to get me over the free shipping limit. It's true. What else do I have to put in my car to get the free shipping? It was the soap. They didn't have socks. No, no socks. And then the other one was lip balm. Lip balm is what I have for you today. It took me a month, a minute. Here it is. If you are if you are watching on video, I'm showing it now. If not, it is a tube that is oh my blue, blue, but 10 milliliters, 3.33 flow ounces. This is $45.

Speaker 4

Did you say flow ounces?

Speaker 7

I did.

Speaker 2

It's fluid, I think. It is fluid ounces.

Speaker 7

It is fluid.

Speaker 2

I'm like, what is a flow ounce? That's something you can do.

Speaker 6

I am so glad I'm not the one singing this.

Speaker 2

It is a fluid ounce. It's not a flow ounce.

Speaker 6

Typically, I am the one at fault when it comes to pronunciation. Yeah.

Speaker 4

Well, I not flute. Yeah, flow.

Speaker 6

Flow ounce.

Speaker 4

Flute.

Speaker 6

No. Fluid. Okay. Fluid ounce.

Speaker 7

Yes, I'm sweating. FL.

Speaker 2

Oh my gosh.

Speaker 7

Fluid. So if you guys think my lips look great tonight, it's because of blue iceling. It is so good. It's good. You guys, I mean, you know, J you love it. Tell them.

Speaker 2

I used it in Chicago. Tell them you love it.

Speaker 6

I don't want to put words on your lips. I love the thick and creamy mouth.

Speaker 7

Here we go.

Speaker 6

Texture of it. It's just whenever you get a little dollop of it, it really goes into your lip like nobody's business.

Speaker 7

I'm laughing because like I mean, this is what the audience has come to expect. From me? Well, from us.

Speaker 4

Oh, I'm not laughing. I'm laughing because I'm reminded of like a funny story from my past with Maddie. Oh fuck. We were out, Maddie and I with another friend. And this other friend sometimes maybe some coles. And that particular friend said, Can I borrow your chapstick? We were like traveling or something. And Maddie's like, oh yeah, absolutely. And the friend uses it, and Maddie's like, just go ahead and keep it.

Speaker 2

I won't use it again.

Speaker 6

Maddie you recall.

Speaker 2

I don't want to. And I'm like, oh my God, I died laughing so hard.

Speaker 6

I would I would have done the same thing.

Speaker 7

I wouldn't do it with this.

Speaker 6

Did you have a replacement?

Speaker 7

Well, I mean, we're talking $45.

Speaker 6

No.

Speaker 7

Well, the beauty of this one is you can put your finger out. Yeah.

Speaker 6

And I'll put finger out and you double up it.

Speaker 7

I'll dial up your finger. I'm not going, like, don't put it. But yes, I forgot about that.

Speaker 6

But like storytelling Megan.

Speaker 7

I didn't even have to even nudge Megan or anything. I didn't have to go.

Speaker 6

But back then, did you have a repla a replacement for yourself? No. So that's that was it for you.

Speaker 7

Listen, I wouldn't either. I've never had a cold sore in my mouth in my life. Never. But I know that once you have them, they're in your system. They could come out at any time. And we're at that ain't worth a $2 chapstick, my friend. That ain't worth a cherry chapstick. No.

Speaker 6

No.

Speaker 2

I do like and it was a cherry, it was a chapstick, cherry chapstick. It was a cherry chapstick.

Speaker 6

You're like a cherry chapstick.

Speaker 2

Well, back in the day, it was a little triggering now.

Speaker 6

I do like it. Um, I do have to say that the container, oh, it's not my favorite.

Speaker 7

Oh like I wish. But you can look past it, right? Because for pride, you're like lube me.

Speaker 6

I was having the lube on my lips, like nobody's business.

Speaker 7

Can I just say, JJ, though, that I do think I don't know this for a fact. I'd have to do. Oh, we've got techno. Yeah, sorry.

Speaker 4

I was about to lose some power. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 7

Um, I was gonna say, I do think though, JJ, somehow, some way that to your point, I agree with you. I would like something different, but we would like that probably based on convenience. And this probably is sustainable material or something, you know what I mean? Like it's probably, but so, but to your point, yeah.

Speaker 6

Yeah, I wish I wish there was a different container, but I um I mean I I am a fan. Whenever you have it out, I don't know if I will buy it myself. It's $45 for the chapstick.

Speaker 7

Thanks for saying that again. Because what I want to say is even though this is $45, I think this will last me at least a year and a half.

Speaker 6

A lifetime. Yeah, no, there's a lot in there. So 100%. It will last for like a few cold sores.

Speaker 7

Honest to God, like I've had this for like six months, and look, it looks basically full. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6

So that's what she said.

Speaker 7

Okay, well, that's good.

Speaker 6

I love it. I I really do. Yeah, and I so the price is $45. It's going to be a learning tree.

Speaker 7

It is, yeah, it's already on there, I think. It's Blue Lagoon, Iceland, skin, science, lip, ball.

Speaker 6

Awesome, awesome. Let's just start with some slip it

Slip It In Pull It Out Starts

Speaker 6

ins and pull outs. And I'm gonna start myself.

Speaker 3

Oh, I love it.

Speaker 6

First one is a slip it in that came in out of a pull-out. Uh my, yeah.

Speaker 7

Oh, you got can I ponder that? A slip it in that came from a bullet out. Yeah.

Speaker 6

Sounds like so my over the holiday weekend, over the holiday weekend, my bank account was compromised.

Speaker 2

Oh.

Speaker 6

So that was a pull-up.

Speaker 2

You and Andy Collins. Yeah.

Speaker 6

We have so many things in common. I know. I love it. It's just it's just a message. Separated at birth.

Speaker 7

Separated at birth.

Speaker 6

Um, but one thing that came that was good out of it that I didn't know is like that my bank was able to issue me a digital bank card.

Speaker 3

Oh, I love it.

Speaker 6

That I was able to log. So my slip it in is really Apple Pay. Because I was able to get that digital card into Apple Pay. Love it. And it took probably a day or two. I was back in action. Back in action. I love it. Like nobody's business. So I I mean, if it was to be probably five, ten years ago, it would have been probably like another week of Maddie, you've been to it.

Speaker 7

Jesus, you'd have to bring three pieces of identification somewhere. The birth certificate included in that.

Speaker 6

For sure. So it's just like it was just so great that I was able to do that. And they were able to even like even I Maddie was with me, and I said, I'm gonna call it.

Speaker 7

I said, How is this gonna affect me? Oh my god. Dissolved. Will I have to get all the rounds? Of course.

Speaker 6

It was just like, I'm like, I'm just gonna call just to um, you know, report it, but I know that I'm not gonna even have my card until like a week from now. Um, no, within a day or two, I was back on home.

Speaker 3

I love it. That's so great.

Speaker 6

So good. It was a slip it in.

Speaker 3

Yeah, that is.

Speaker 6

Yeah. And my pull out it is paper between my she slices.

Speaker 4

That's a very specific. I that's a slip it in for me. I know it's necessary.

Speaker 6

No, it's not always wax paper. Oh I it's I see it's a it's a necessary evil. I'm gonna say it that way. It's it's there for a reason, but just to try try to take that paper out of it. And sometimes, especially like the the cheese on Trader Joe's, is like it's not like the best stack. It's just like too clingy. I guess it's like it's so it just it drives me nuts. It's it frustrates me all the time. Sometimes I get two slices instead of one slice, and it's like well.

Speaker 7

Can I ask you a question? Because I feel like it's probably I've seen it both ways, and it's not necessary, I don't think. I bet I think they put it in there. I don't think it is convenience to make the cheese user experience better.

Speaker 6

Yeah.

Speaker 7

So paper or no paper?

Speaker 6

I cite no paper. You know why? I'm gonna tell you, I'm gonna land it. Land it. The reason why I came up with this bullet out is because Sunday, when I got home, I ordered some New York bagel from a local New York bagel company. When I bit into that I awaited bagel. Shut up. The paper was still there.

Speaker 7

Well, that's a different pull it out.

Speaker 6

That's a double pull out.

Speaker 7

But it's a New York bagel, shouldn't put paper on their cheese in the bagel. On the first place, they would not do I blame New York bagel on this one. Anyway, so oh you're Alexa, here she goes. She's giving me the weather report tomorrow, which is gonna be dicey for Detroit Pride.

Speaker 6

But that is my slip it in and pull out.

Cheese Paper Fails And A Bagel Surprise

Speaker 6

Okay, Megan, are you ready? Like, I don't know what's going on. I know.

Speaker 4

I've had some technical difficulties.

Speaker 6

Sorry about that.

Speaker 4

Yeah, I was starting to lose power, so I had to do a little plug.

Speaker 7

You gotta slip it in and pull out?

Speaker 4

Yes.

Speaker 7

Our listenership is also dropping because of a problem.

Speaker 4

Oh, I don't think so. This has been an episode for the books. There's been a lot of revelations. Yes, so my slip it in is also sort of a pull it out. Um it's about Jack. Jack, the we believe squirrel.

Speaker 7

Oh, Jack is fuck. He's back.

Speaker 4

He's back.

Speaker 5

Creature feature.

Speaker 4

It's a creature feature, but it also has a sad ending.

Speaker 5

Oh.

Speaker 4

Jack is no longer with us.

Speaker 5

Oh, well, I P. So this is the end of this episode at Captain. Yeah. Exactly. Which is a slit.

Speaker 4

He was found mummified to the furnace filter at my parents' house. So he somehow got in the HVAC system and couldn't get himself out. And when the furnace filter was getting changed, he was found.

Speaker 6

Did we confirm is he was he a sugar glider?

Speaker 4

No, it's uh like one of those like um gray flying squirrels.

Speaker 6

Sugar glider. Yep. I said that it's confirmed.

Speaker 4

Yep, it is.

Speaker 6

And you were saying that there is no way that there was a sugar glider.

Speaker 7

But do we know that family members are I mean, because didn't he have a brother that died in your toilet? What?

Speaker 4

That was an yeah, I don't know if that was the same type of squirrel, but yeah, a squirrel was found dead in the toilet in the basement. So many squirrels.

Speaker 1

Yeah.

Speaker 4

Well, and here's the thing there is a cat in the house, and he is clearly just sleeping, living the life of Riley.

Speaker 6

Flying a sugar glider is a cute little.

Speaker 7

I also don't think it's the cat's responsibility.

Speaker 4

The cat he should be killing all mermants in the house.

Speaker 7

Well, close your slider.

Speaker 4

Well, they're coming in clearly, no, but close your JJ close your slider so the sugar glider don't get in. Well, he got in, who knows how. But anyway, he's no longer with us, so that's sort of a pull it out because it's a flip it in as well. But at the same time, everyone's happy he's out of the house and gone.

Speaker 6

We're good.

Speaker 4

So now we don't have to wonder, oh, is Jack showing up late at night tonight? Like he's gone anymore. We know he's gone, he's gone.

Speaker 6

So your family calls him Jack as well.

Speaker 4

Yeah, he got a name.

Speaker 6

Oh my god, I love that someone.

Speaker 4

Yep.

Speaker 7

Jack is dead.

Speaker 4

Poor Jack, he's gone. Yeah.

Speaker 7

You have a pull out. You know what? Do you have a pull it out or well? That's when I pull it out.

Speaker 4

I have another slip it in.

Speaker 6

No, it's a pull out.

Speaker 7

We can move on from you if we need to.

Speaker 4

Well, I'm just do you want to talk about a slip it in? Well, my other pseudo slip it in. I mean, really, Jack's the pull it. Well, I mean it's a slip it in, pull it out because he's dead, but yet death is not really always something to be celebrated. Okay.

Speaker 7

But yet, you guys are witnessing this in real time. So I don't know what's going on.

Speaker 4

Well, no, my other real slip it in is what's really giving to me. Is everyone who knows, you know, the Summer House reunion episodes are the best episodes of reality TV I've ever seen in my life.

Speaker 7

I should have just taken the cue and moved on. So this okay things.

Speaker 4

I think JJ would agree. I mean, it is masterful, masterful. And Andrew Cohen.

Speaker 6

Team Sierra.

Speaker 4

Great, yeah. Team Sierra, team Kyle.

Speaker 6

100%. Maddie, you have any slip ins and blows?

Jack The Flying Squirrel Update

Speaker 7

I do. It's your time. And I am this is your moment. And I'm actually prepared. Okay. Oh, good.

Speaker 3

Well, there you go.

Speaker 7

Good for us. I'm gonna tie this first my slip it in back to what happened Wednesday night. Thursday morning, I go into work early. So I go into work early. Like your regular, I I work, I have a nine to five. Working nine to five. Stumble out of bed and tumble in the kitchen. Okay. Do you know the rest? No. For nine to five. No, not nine. For myself, a couple of ambition. Oh, I get to work. Uh, there's just me and Adrian. Adrian, shout out, Adrian. It's you know this is true. You and I are just sitting in the office. I am sitting near you. I I'm like, there's so much happening with what's going on with our posting around our stories and stuff because of what happened on CNN. And I I'm looking at something, and you know, my phone goes off all of a sudden, and it's JJ had sent a clip to me. And I was trying to just visually look at the clip, but my volume was up, so it played the clip. And all of a sudden, Adrian goes, Oh, see, you're working your side hustle this morning. You at your second job. And I'm like, Well, technically, it's I've got 20 minutes till it's 9 a.m. So it was just it was funny, and we talked, and I love her to death. Awesome. My Pull it out is a bird murder. Bird murder.

Speaker 6

Burder.

Speaker 7

It's a burder.

Speaker 6

That's a burder.

Speaker 7

Oh, it's a crime scene.

Speaker 6

Yeah, you should you send it. Yeah. I send it to you. You send it to me. I don't even know if it's a bird. I don't know if you can see it.

Speaker 7

Oh, it's the craziest thing. So I have this outdoor.

Speaker 6

Your blur ready. Here it is. That's better. But if you move it just a little bit. There you go.

Speaker 7

It's the craziest thing. So I have this. JJ got me like this vintage ice chest thing out here, which is the top of what you see. And on top of it, I have all of these succulents.

Speaker 6

Yeah. Too many, but yeah. It's a different story. Wow.

Speaker 7

All right. Wow. I know, right? Like, Jesus Christ. But I love her. So I go out, I'm tending to my succulents. I'm trying to I can't either. But it's like I can't with him. I can't with him. I tend to I tending to my succulents. I go out there with that intent, and there is, I'm like, what is that? It is a baby bird. Like, but did you see the giant other feathers? Yeah, it's a so I don't know what happened. Why do you think it's a baby bird? It was because it's a tiny little head and beak, but there's like these giant other feathers.

Speaker 6

So something went down the bigger bird killed it.

Speaker 7

Well, and I'm and left its DNA. Yeah. I mean, it seems very suspicious to me. Like it's a true dateline bird special because there is like a baby bird, but there's giant feathers there that look like they were planted.

Speaker 4

You don't think they were feathers of the bird and the other. Did you see the photo? I can't really understand what's happening.

Speaker 6

It's a baby bird in the middle, like pretty much. But you know these other feathers are in there.

Speaker 7

Well, there's a feather that is like longer than that. Four to five inches long. You think a baby bird has that feather coming from?

Speaker 4

No, I think the bird has lost all its other feathers from the decomposition.

Speaker 7

Yes. And so where did the big bird feathers come from? Tell me.

Speaker 4

I think it was a big bird, and now its other feathers are gone. It's really a baby.

Speaker 7

Out of your mind, so you think it was a big bird that shrunk to a little bird? I think without the feathers, it's a little teeny body.

Speaker 4

I need you to do a zoom-in close-up on the phone.

Speaker 6

Because from what I see, it doesn't look like it's a baby bird murdered by the big bird.

Speaker 4

All right.

Speaker 7

Well. But why would the big bird leave its DNA like that? Something went on something did not go according to Maddie.

Speaker 6

You're thinking about that. This is going to be a Netflix documentary. No. This is not going to happen. It's going to be a short.

Speaker 7

They're not. Something didn't go according to plan.

Speaker 6

This is not going to be your bedtime story.

Speaker 7

I'm going to tell you this before you cut me off. I immediately went ran inside to get my camera. I documented the footage. I had Why would you even do that? Well, because I had to show you guys. I went back out an hour later. The crime scene's been cleaned.

Speaker 4

By who? I think a chipmunk came and ate it.

Speaker 7

Or somebody's buffet. Or somebody the bird paid to be like, I need somebody to come in and clean this up.

Speaker 4

It was another. I couldn't find another environment came in and could not find an ounce of crime.

Speaker 6

That's fine.

unknown

Yeah.

Speaker 4

Okay.

Speaker 6

Well Is it gonna be a sequel of this story?

Speaker 4

It's we've had double deaths with these cool nuts.

Speaker 7

Can I just do one quick thing? If you have any information, oh my god. These birds please give us a call.

Speaker 4

They're not talking.

Speaker 7

Wow, it's gotten me off.
