About This Episode

Matty, Megan and JJ take on the first Great Michigan Piss-Off, where Michigan and Michigan State football fans collect urine for fertilizer research. The hosts debate the tailgate yurts, the standing urinals, and what it takes to win a competition that is very different from the game on the field.

They also debate whether a British police helicopter’s penis-shaped flight path was accidental, and recap a Detroit Moth StorySLAM where their friend Molly won and a story about digging up a best friend’s skull briefly sounded like true crime.

In the Slip It Ins and Pull It Outs, the conversation turns to “asshole casserole,” the phrase “Let’s go!”, portable restrooms, cookie recipes behind paywalls, Starbucks holiday launches, and Trader Joe’s Advent calendars.

00:00 — Opening teaser

[00:00] Boy, you're in for the first ever Michigan, Michigan State Piss-off. And we break down the penis helicopter flight path sprinkled in with a little bit of The Moth and some other shenanigans. Season two, episode 76. You laugh, you cringe, you'll beg for more with a guilty pleasure you can't ignore, like a drunk text sent at 2 a.m. We slipped it in again.

00:34 — Welcome to Slip It In

[00:34] Welcome, welcome, welcome, everyone. We're back, slipping it in with you, bringing you the unhinged brunch conversation about everything and anything all at the same time. And it's kind of always not necessarily about much of anything, but you somehow just can't stop listening to it. I'm Megan and I'm here with Matty and JJ. Hello. Hello. Hi, folks.

[00:58] Hi. Well, we had a nice evening. We did. Yes. It's a Thursday, which we really don't normally record on a Thursday. It is a school night. I think I'm feeling it a little bit. I am feeling it. I'm gonna feel it in the morning, I think. Uh but uh we partook, is that a word? Partick. Partook.

01:18 — The Moth: Molly wins and the skull story

[01:18] Partook in a Moth event, which for our We're fresh off the moth. Fresh off The Moth. For our loyal listeners, they will know what that is. In that is a storytelling event, basically, like uh open mic night for storytellers. Um, our friend Molly introduced us to that when she talked about it and was a guest on our podcast, and she came with us again tonight.

[01:45] She did. Yeah, she wanted to be here, but she thinks we're crazy for recording this late. Um but um she not only went with us, but she participated in the event. And what did she do? She won. Yes, it was amazing. Yeah, she won. I found it very interesting because the topic was thrifty. Thrifty, yes. Not thrifting. Right. Which I thought it was thrifting as like an adjective.

[02:14] Correct. So I was going and listening to the stories, I'm like, this is an interesting interesting take of thrifting. Like I always associate that with like Goodwill and Second Hands and things like that, and Salvation Army. Uh, but yeah, it was uh the topics were kind of all over the place. They were, which I mean, it that's kind of the uniqueness of it.

[02:36] People bring their different perspectives, and sometimes it's spot on, sometimes it's adjacent, I would say. It was interesting because around the middle of the event, there was all of a sudden all this knocking on a door. So I'm like, well, that's kind of weird. Like, did they like lock the front door? It was an aggressive knocking. Yeah, and was it accidental?

[02:59] Like it was very odd. I'm like, oh anyway, every everything moved on, the knocking stopped, and we all went on our way. then in between people coming and telling their stories, they read little slips of paper that people can write something. And they had a question, and it was some this one time someone uh threw something away and it became my treasure.

[03:28] Someone's trash is another person's treasure. Exactly. And you just had to write something on there and they put it in a hat, and essentially during the transitions when they were adding up scores, etc., they would read off these things. So shortly after we had all this knocking, they the host like read this and it said that time I dug up my best friend's skull.

[03:57] And he like was stopping and rereading it, and he was confused. Everyone in the audience was confused, and honestly, like I just sat there like, oh my god, like I think there's a murderer in this room, and I'm not sure we're safe. Like, I started thinking, what was that knocking? Are we really locked in here? And is there a murderer in the room? It's funny because I had that same it like sent chills.

[04:28] I was like, oh my god. Well, it wasn't we need to start like getting out of this place. Not only did they dig up the skull, but they said then they hand painted it and hung it on the wall. Yes, yes, right? It was a treasure because it became an art piece in their house, but it was their best friend's skull. Yeah. That was duh they dug up. Yes, I mean so there's red flags everywhere.

[04:51] Yes, I was like freaking out, but it turns out it was a dog. Well, because then the host, he like still not confused, he reread it like twice, and then he was looking at it and he's like, Let me look at this again. And people are just like, What is going on? And then he said, and then he like turned the piece of paper, and the person had like wrote it on the side, and it said, Dogs rule.

[05:15] Yeah, so at that point, everyone's like, Oh, that makes sense. It's like my best friend, my dog. So dog is man's best friend, yes, but still, it was still very odd, especially after that knocking. Like it, but then I'm like, Okay, we're not about to get murdered. Like, we don't need to like figure something out. It's interesting how you both of your minds go into murder.

[05:38] I was like, You didn't. I think 90% of the room thought something was amiss. Yes, maybe not murder. Molly did too. She said she was freaked out. What would you think if someone said, I dug up my best friend's skull? Yeah, but I didn't connect, I didn't connect that with the knocking at all. Oh, I get that. I didn't see where those could be different.

[05:59] But it just the knocking was a little weird and unsettling, and it wasn't that long after that this dead's skull was dug up. Yeah, but also they they also said something about when when they established the rules of The Moth, they did say they need the story needs to be real. And I feel that there's there might be some people that put in a little joke here and there, so I didn't even think much of it, to be honest.

[06:23] Well, well, then we found out who it was because she did get up there and tell a different story, and then at the end of that story, like she had a mic drop moment in which she's like, Oh, and by the way, if you ever have a theme, because last this was thrifting. If you ever have a theme around like grief, invite me back and I'll tell you the story about my dog.

[06:45] And everyone went, Oh my god. And she was a little she was mad, yeah. Yeah, she seems a little maybe mentally unstable. Well, those were borderline her own words. Oh, she did. I mean, in all fairness, I'm not sure. Yes, but it was a great experience. Uh it was the first time for you guys. Yeah, it was my first time, so I'm not I popped that cherry for sure.

[07:10] Um, and you asked me at the end of it, would you come back? And I said I would, but I will pick the event based on the topic. Like I will be more specific if it's just a general one. I mean, Thrifty was fine for a first, you know, a first timer, but um, I don't know. I wouldn't go for like the the next time in December, it's like all goes. Anything goes.

[07:33] Anything goes. I don't know if I'll be interested in that. Well, it's funny you say the topic because on the way down, I was talking to Megan, and I kind of was hoping that for your both of your first time experience, it might have been a little bit more interesting of a topic. Cause in my mind, I'm like, well, what kind of stories will we get with thrifting, right?

[07:53] And so I was like, I wanted something like that, maybe would be a little more salacious. I was laughing so hard I started to tear up. And I don't know that you guys found it. That's funny, but the guy was talking about the different shows coming up at different places in the topics, and he said I think it was in Ann Arbor or something, the next one in December or something is gonna be origins.

[08:18] I heard orgies, yeah, and I let out a huge, oh we were in first row. We were the first row, and the host was like, Well, this guy's really and then I was laughing so hard. And everyone then thought he made it seem like, oh, this guy's got an orgy story to bring to the table, which my outburst was more around, oh, that would be a topic you guys would all love.

[08:45] But it turns out it was origins. Origins. Yeah, which all of us heard clearly as origin. I then I thought it was orchard, orchards like uh apple orchard, but no, no, so it's origins. Would you go to origins, JJ? No, you would skip origins. I think other will I feel like other could be good because it can be anything and everything. So I think people will come with their best story.

[09:10] Yeah, origins. I feel like it's gonna be a lot of oh, I'm half Italian, half Russian, and yeah. Well, yeah, I mean you can bring your quarter fin. Well, I mean, yeah, let's workshop it. I don't have a good story to say about it, honestly. Workshop it. Well except we're the happiest people, and for six years in a row, Finland is she's like, I have nothing to do with the happiest country except for the fact Well, there you go.

[09:38] Well, congrats to Molly. She took first place, there's ten contestants, so she beat out nine other folks, and she's gonna uh participate in a grand slam, which is they invite winners back and they go against each other. So maybe more to come. And I know our listeners, we've gotten some requests to have her back on the pod. She actually told another story about her dad, which was if you guys go back and find her episode, she had a very unique story about her dad.

[10:04] So check that out, and then once you listen to that, you might be like, Oh, I'm gonna tune into this next story because it's another good dad story. Yeah, definitely. Yeah.

10:13 — Family birthdays and the Michigan rivalry

[10:13] Speaking of dads, my um my dad just had uh his 80th birthday yesterday. Yeah, awesome. And I will be traveling up to Grand Rapids this weekend for a big bash at the Lowell Moose. Can't wait. It's also coincides with, and he is a big Michigan, Michigan. Well, he's a big Michigan fan. I went to Michigan State. He roots for Michigan State when we're not playing Michigan, but we are playing Michigan, and he's like, I'm sorry, son, I can't, you know, I gotta go with Michigan.

[10:46] That's crazy. So that game is happening this weekend, Megan. I think you you're in Ann Arbor. Yep. The game is in Ann Arbor this year, and you guys usually have kind of a little gathering or people can come and go. We've I've been there a couple of times. Yeah. Is that happening? Are you doing that this year? Not really. Not this year. No, but there's something bigger going on.

[11:08] What is it? Which I think I might have to participate in.

11:10 — The Great Michigan Piss-Off

[11:10] It is the piss-off. Have you heard about it? I have heard about this. So this is crazy to me, but it shows that you can take two rivals, hence Michigan, Michigan State, yeah, and they can come together for the good. So hopefully, maybe our new Congress will take this and reach across the aisle and get some things done. That's a stretch. Well, we'll see.

[11:38] Anyway, so scientists from Michigan and scientists from Michigan State have come together to collect people's urine at the game on Saturday. And they're gonna use that urine to create fertilizer. Wow. So, yes, so basically there are gonna be two yurts. One will be for Michigan and one is for Michigan State. Right. And you go in and you will pee in some type of stand-up urinal, and they're gonna take that um urine, yeah, which I guess urine contains nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium.

[12:24] And it's gonna contain a lot of bud light, in my opinion. A lot of Bud, Coors Light. Yeah, exactly. Which is weird. I mean, it's clearly gonna be filled with beer, but I mean, they make it. Urine is going to be yellow. Yellow mellow. So they're um they're gonna process it into fertilizer and use it for research. So U of M's Botanical Gardens are gonna use it, and MSU's Kellogg Biological Station is gonna use it.

[12:53] Wow, talk about water sports. Yeah, well, for sure. Yes. Now the issue is like who wins? Let's say Michigan State collects more, but then they lose in the game, or vice versa. They could they could have one major winner, or you could have each could be a winner, one in urine and one in football. Oh, so is it a competition who pieces more? Well, they're collect, yeah, they're collecting.

[13:19] It's a piss-off. So whoever can piss off. a piss off. And I isn't it the call isn't it the Paul Bunyan trophy that they win each year. So they're also, I've heard on scene online that there's the Paul Bunyan trophy is at stake. And that just goes to the winner of the football game. But the unofficial golden shower trophy is now what they're calling the golden shower, which is like water sports.

[13:43] Yeah, but I have some questions. Okay. And I feel like I don't know, like it doesn't feel very inclusive of women at face value. So maybe you know, Megan, I don't know. But at face value, what I read is that you go into these yurts, Y-U-R-T-S. They're like these tents, right? And then they have in there, and I they can't even verify whether or not there's they're partitioned off.

[14:10] So I don't know what the environment is when you get in there. That's dicey for for college men in general. And and if you right, okay, fill in the blanks. But then they're standing up urinals. Wait, I like what you're saying, it's dicey for men to pee with other men. Do you guys do that? No, it's just dicey for I'm using air quote, straight men that are in their college experimental years and they get a little drunk.

[14:38] So well, oh my god. Well, I'm just bringing all that. I said fill in the blanks. Like, okay, well, not even like they're just Well, I know I asked my gay boys, you guys know, where I see boys. I'm like, did you see? Does he have a penis? There's one thing I'm not sure. I don't know if in each yurt there's multiple urinals or just one. I also don't know nothing I've read says no to women, but it says the stand-up urinals, which I think as a woman, you could probably manipulate still and make it work.

[15:14] I know when I went to Asia, you just stand up and pee over like holes or like little things in the ground. So I'm not sure, but maybe it is just no to women, and there's multiple urinals and it's all men in the shirts. I don't know. I just feel like they would why that sounds like an invitation for scrutiny. Why couldn't you sit down? I don't get that.

[15:37] And like make it just so women can also do it. But you said you might participate. So would you go in and stand over a hole in pest? Yes, I've done it in before in Asia. Okay. So yeah. In Turkey, there's just a hole on the ground and you just have like a little flush on the full down flush. Yeah. But it might be no women allowed. If there's multiple urinals in the yurt, then they maybe only allow men in there.

[16:04] Because I can see where that could be problematic. Yeah. Yeah. So what's interesting though is this is the first stadium scale urine recycling pilot in the United States. Oh, so this might take off. Yeah. And also, everyone should know the fertilizer they're creating and testing isn't going on food. It's going on ornamental and horticultural plants and researching.

[16:28] I'm glad you brought that up. Well, don't be worried that your, you know, ice cream from the dairy stores. I mean, a lot of fertilizers made of shit. Yes. Not human feces. But so I mean, but apparently, this is something University of Michigan's been doing for years. They had it called it the Pee for the Peonies project. And they've been testing urine-derived fertilizer since 2023 on all its peony garden.

[16:56] I am gonna be interested to see how this goes. Because also, I mean, again, college students playing with their parts, even for a good cause. That's an extreme statement. It's not playing with their parts. It's like going to the bathroom when they're drinking at tailgating, which everyone's doing. I all I've got a comment to make. Well, I'm just saying I personally see it as an opportunity because usually doing like Michigan meet this football games, yeah, there's a line on the bathrooms.

[17:34] There's another in I'm doing something good. Correct. It doesn't matter. Yeah, this is taking place in Yurt's on the University of Michigan Golf Club, which is right across the street from Michigan Stadium. And it's a very big area where a lot of students tailgate. Everyone will be fine, but I feel like I'm playing a little bit of your role because you usually will jump to these.

[17:58] Well, I mean, it's a tailgate. Like you're acting like there's shenanigans going on. And well, we'll see. Let's get the after report. Let's see who wins the piss-off. Let's see if there's any shenans. If you don't hear from us, everything went fine. Yeah.

18:15 — British police helicopter flight path

[18:15] Well, speaking about penises and shenanigans, let me tell you, did you guys see that picture that a British police helicopter basically drew with its flight path? Uh, say more. Okay. Well, so apparently, this man who has a two-year-old daughter, he was really irritated the other night because he kept just hearing a helicopter flying over him for like 30 minutes.

[18:44] And he was curious. So he went and looked. He has some flight tracking things. So he went and looked, and lo and behold, on his screen was um a penis, basically, that this helicopter had driven and it was like a tracker. Okay. Yeah. So it showed the flight path of what was around him. Like if you go out for a walk or a jog and it tracks your okay. So he's got an app or something like that.

[19:11] And it looked just like a um a penis. I'm gonna for people watching this on YouTube or Apple or Spotify. Like full anatomy, like peen and balls, or well, I'm just well take a look. Oh, I can see a little bit. Well, you've got the reflection of your ring. Yeah. Well, okay. Well, good try though. There you go. Good try. Well, I mean, you can also, I'm assuming, Google this.

[19:41] Yes. So when I first saw this picture on the news article, I'm like, clearly, this was a pilot up to no good. But then when I read the article and read a little bit. You think the pilot was intent—intentionally doing that pattern? When I first saw that, yes, 100%. Really? Yes. I I gotta come out of the shadows because I did hear about this story and the news, I didn't read the article Megan's referring to, so she has a lot more info than I do, but the newscasters positioned it as an intentional act, JJ, as well.

[20:17] Now, I don't know if anyone's proven it, but like they were saying, I mean, if you look at it, um, it just does seem very coincidental. They said he they flew it the pattern like three times. We can't really try to get it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Well, so what I'm saying that because I've seen, I don't know if you guys have seen it, that there's been times that the the weather men have seen like the path of those shows.

[20:44] So there was like one with the e News that it was clearly like a penis with oh wow. Well that's like the that's the from the weather pattern. Well, there is heavy something coming, but also, JJ, those newscasters will, you know, now you can do those touch screens. Yeah, and sometimes the newscasters, there's some of them where they're like, and then you got rain coming up from the north, and and then next thing you know, it's like a shot.

[21:13] They've driven, yeah. Which is connected to Matty's one of Matty's favorite things, which is like uh newscasters, bloopers. Oh, I love them. I can't get any of them and I'll send them every time. All times. So I converted from the story, but it's penises is well, I know it's a hot topic always. But um, the police in in England are insisting this was completely accidental.

[21:37] So the helicopter was assisting officers searching for a vehicle that had failed to stop, and they were circling around looking for them. So they were making multiple circles. And when you look at the flight path, they did make multiple circles. They had to get the balls part. That's probably the circle. But then they flew away and Circled in a different area, flew back and did another circle.

[22:04] But when you can you just described I know, but when you look at the flight path, you're like, oh, okay. Check out there again. And then you can see they went a whole nother area and did a ton of circles. So, like, I do believe it was truly accidental. Not been manscaped, I'll tell you. Yeah, they might, yeah. But there's a whole nother little side area that well, that's where they had to take off from.

[22:28] Well, no, I'm just saying, I do think it's true. So even though it doesn't What do you think is true? That they it was intentional or it was completely accidental. Oh, you think it's accidental? I do. 100%. What do you think, JJ? You heard the story. I think it's accidental as well. Oh, you do? I'm gonna go with on purpose. On purpose. On purpose. Wow.

[22:48] Wow. I mean, it's kind of fun to see that uh they can actually see how that strays. Like, I mean, I never thought about something like that really happening in the air, but well, you see, the the weather's constantly doing it, apparently. Especially when there's heavy rain. Yeah, big heavy rain. I think it's fun to think about the two people that were in the helicopter, and if it was intentional, the co-pilot's like, okay, circle it, circle it, circle it out for the shaft, back in, circle it, circle it, circle it.

[23:16] That'll be fun to see. Yeah. They were they were having fun out there. I mean, good, good, good fun. Well, it woke up this man's two-year-old daughter from a deep sleep. It was because it happened in the evening. Yeah, but I will say, wow, mind your P's and Q's driving in England because for someone failing to make a stop at a stop sign, they went to town.

[23:38] They have a helicopter out there searching for them. That alone seems sketch. That they would I mean, why would you have a helicopter go out? The cost to deploy a helicopter for somebody that ran a stop sign. Well, maybe the person who ran the stop sign was someone that they were looking for to arrest for other things. Well, yeah. How do you know that?

[24:01] She did say maybe. I said maybe. I mean, like, you know. Oh God. I'm thinking well, you know, like here we go. I don't know what happened. No, I was gonna say I was reading the news earlier today, and Russell Brand just got convicted for rape, and they took him in immediately to jail, and his lawyers were trying to get him out on bail. But like, what if it was someone who was out on bail and then didn't stop at the stop sign?

[24:33] I mean, that would take get the helicopters out. Isn't he from London? Yeah. And this was Stories London, right? Yeah. So oh wow. But this helicopter thing happened a few days ago. You heard it here first. No, the helicopter penis. There's no connection. It happened a few days. But I'm just saying there could be other reasons that they were searching for this car that failed to stop.

[24:55] So fair enough. Yeah. Fair enough. Well, you guys, I think we're um already ready to transition into some slip it in and pull it out. Absolutely. Let's do it. Um, I can go first.

25:08 — Slip It In: Asshole casserole and creative insults

[25:08] So I have a word-themed slip it in and pull it out, as I have done in the past because I like when I hear a new word or two words that I'm familiar with but are put together or whatever. I just like wordplay. Um, and so mine are kind of two things around that topic. I was watching this crime show as I do, and it was surrounded around a story in which it was positioned as criminal, but the people that were hearing about things going on thought it was like this is not for real.

[25:53] This is just wives' tales and shenanigans. And they interviewed this guy, and he says, Well, at first I just thought it was another asshole casserole. Asshole casserole. Oh, you got it? Yeah, I got it. Do you like it? Would you would you have you first of all, have you ever heard the term asshole casserole? I don't, I think it's just this guy. Well, is it yeah?

[26:23] Correct me. Like, I didn't yeah, I've never heard it. I don't think it's a common I'm aware of the same way that they would say, like, oh, you're a sassy Susan. That's why I'm bringing it to the table because I would I'm suspecting Megan, especially you guys hadn't heard it. No. But I wanted to see if like I immediately laughed and took a no when I heard it.

[26:45] Because could you see instances and people that cross your paths in everyday life that you could be like, you know what, you fucking asshole, casserole? Would you use it? I wouldn't. So it's really this is not an actual dish. Oh, you thought what do you mean? Because I was like, I would not taste that casserole at all. I would never either, but uh well, no, yeah, it's just uh a personal note, like a somebody that cuts you off on the freeway or cuts in like it's a lot of words.

[27:21] Yeah, it's too a lot of vowels. It's two words, it's two words. I think I should say um uh it's a lot of um Annunciations or Yes. Yeah. Syllables. I mean it's syllables is what I was thinking of. It's too many syllables. I kind of like it. And I I think asshole casserole. Yeah, stop being such an asshole casserole. I don't know. I mean just say asshole and that's it.

[27:48] Yeah, I feel like yeah. All right. Sometimes like I just do asshat. Asshat? What's that? It's just another way of saying asshole. Yeah, you've never heard that? Ass hat? No. And that sounds worse than asshole casserole. Like I would never say. It's short, but it sounds like the hat is yeah. Well, I don't know. Did you work that up? No, I didn't. Maybe she did.

[28:15] That's a word I've heard lots of times. Really? I've never heard of it. Never. And I've anyone listening. I've never even heard you say ass hat. I don't I don't think. She said all the time. Did she not? No, I said I've heard it all the time. I don't use it. I don't usually use asshole. That's not usually in my normal vernacular. Yeah. So but I've heard other people say it and say asshats.

[28:43] You should have called your navigate navigation in your car today ass hat instead of fucking bitch. Well, she annoys me. She's a woman. So that's it. Yeah, we hadn't even made it off my street. We had to pick up Molly. Wasn't it warranted? She was not listening. She wasn't paying attention to it. And she constantly is interrupting me in my normal chatter.

[29:06] It's an asshole casserole. No.

29:09 — Pull It Out: The “Let’s go!” celebration

[29:09] Okay, my pull it out is I think this is generational, but the let's go. Oh. What do you mean let's go? Oh god. Especially on Big Brother. It's on a lot of reality shows. I've seen it on Big Brother a lot. And then also I've seen it on Survivor. But it's like, okay, we just won the competition or the challenge, and it's let's go. When you win? Yes. Or they're just celebrating or something good happens.

[29:39] Well, isn't it like a I thought you would say it as like words of encouragement, like let's go, way to go. It's just way to go. No. I've never heard it in a celebratory sense. Oh, yeah. What about constantly? Big brother, Survivor. So it's for the like the millennials? It's like uh for the Gen Z probably at Gen Z. I just hate the let's go. Yeah. It's kind of like that.

[30:01] Let's go. It's very bro. It's very it's very bru. I believe it's very bro forward. I mean, I think I've seen it like football players maybe say it. I mean, in our time, it'd be kind of like, come on, you guys, let's go. Now it's let's go. Yeah. Yeah. It's really and how it's set. Okay. I think that with the sports, I'm okay with it. Yeah, if it's like a sports event.

[30:30] Yeah. But in a reality TV show, it's just so you're seeing this on Big Brother. Const. Yeah. Really? Yeah. A lot. It was all over the world. Left and right. Survivor. This is a CBS thing. I've seen it on Traders too. Oh, you've seen it on Traders. It's and the new traders, probably because it's a celebrity ones, probably they don't. Yeah. Probably not.

[30:52] Interesting. No, I've never heard it, seen it. Yeah. That's my wordplay, slip it ins and pull it out.

30:59 — Slip It In: Porta-potty improvements

[30:59] My slip it in. Actually, I had one slip it in starting the episode. I just switched it mid-episode because of the conversation about the penis. Oh, mid side. And the pee. Um I am not a fan of a portable bathroom. Oh, well, yeah. Who is? Like a porta-john. Porta-John, yeah. But lately, now they have a urinal inside of the bathroom for men that just want to pee.

[31:26] They have a portable, a little compartment that you just pee in it. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Like a side. So you have both options. That is my slipping. Really? Because I don't want to pee on the actual toilet bowl. Got it. And see the blue thing. Not only the I don't know how you females can do that. Not only the blue. Yes. I always feel bad about the bigger.

[31:51] The layers of the toilet paper paper. We need to talk about this. No. I thought for sure you.

[32:00] Well, can you do that standing up? Standing up. So I thought you were going to say, um, which I love because I don't like um porta potty, is a um the trailer bathrooms. Oh, I like the trailer bathroom. That's a slip it in and a half. That's a luxury slip it in. Oh, yeah. No, but I was just going, I was thinking about tailgate. Yeah. And we are constantly having to go to the bathroom and the portable uh bathrooms.

[32:31] But the the urinals right next to it. I'm I don't even have to think about the visual that we have to deal with. Yes. I was saying earlier, started to say, I just feel so bad for the females. Like, not only do you have to see it, but like to sit on it. No matter what you do in the pre-clean, if you do pre-clean it, you still have to sit on it. I guess there's no splash of anything.

[32:55] So there's been sometimes at like some beer festivals and some other things where they've had the porta potties, they would have little people um run in and wipe down the seats for you, and you could tip them. Wow, I've never seen that. It's very nice. I've never seen that. And let me tell you, that job. Lots of tips. Like a dream. Would you tip him left and right?

[33:19] Yeah. They go in, they wipe it down, they spray, wipe down the seats. Imagine like what do you do for a living? Well, this weekend I well, there was a it was a show. Worst jobs in America or something like that. Sign them up. It's I don't like I would tip for that too if I was a female. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's weird. Um when we were doing construction at our house, we had a porta potty outside.

[33:45] And you did. Yeah. What's interesting is the neighborhood people that come and use it. Really? Yes. Plus, like UPS, Amazon drivers, like you were just keeping an eye out. I you wouldn't even like purposely be trying, and you would just see someone pull up and use it. It was outside in the driveway. People would use it. Matty, don't you remember? There was one time that we were walking towards Ferndale downtown, and all of a sudden this the male uh guy just like stopped in the middle of the street.

[34:20] Stopped his truck, got out and ran. Oh, to a port of hottie that was outside of a parking structure. And we're like, oh, you gotta go. He was turtling for sure. I mean, think about it, like He was not going for the urinal. If you're a male delivery person, I mean, granted, you could, you know, go into a fast food place or a public restroom, but like a lot of times if you're in the neighborhood and something hits, like, where are you gonna go?

[34:43] I would listen. You're telling me I would at every time I would whip it out. Well, what if you have to sit it down? No. You can't then you I mean, that he his ront, the pace, the pace at which he was moving suggested to me it wasn't a peak, but who knows? All right.

35:02 — Pull It Out: Subscription-only cookie recipes

[35:02] My pull it out is as I as we get it close to the holiday season. Um, we've talked about this before. Megan and I are getting ready for our cookie day. Oh, yeah. Um, but I usually pull it out. No, I usually get started now with new recipes and see what I want to get into or not. One thing that I hate is like when I do, I still do go online to find these new recipes.

[35:28] I actually go into um the New York Times magazines, uh good housekeeping, uh, they have some things. The thing is that every time I want to access one of those new recipes because they come up with like the 2026 new recipes, I have to subscribe. Oh yes. Otherwise, I'm not gonna see the full recipe. Yeah, they give me just half some of the ingredients, but they don't give you in with baking, you really need to be precise.

[35:56] Like when you're cooking something different, it's fine, it's different, but it's okay. But with baking, it's just have to be very precise. So I I have so many subscriptions just to get one recipe that I might not even bake. So it's just like I pull out, it's just not how many cookie recipes are you making this year? I'm now at seven. You're making seven different ones.

[36:20] But I I narrow it down. I now I have different different ones, but I just narrow it down. How many are gonna be new debuts? I mean, these are all recipes you haven't used before, but you have some returning. Yeah, the returners are coming always. Okay, and you're looking to what debut two to three, yeah. Newbies. Wow, that's a lot. Well, what about food?

[36:40] Before you know, um we big a lot of cookies. What about Food Network and shit like that? Those are all open. You maybe you need to get a subscribe. But they they they New York Times comes up with the 2026, their good recipes, and they always screw me. Well, here's a hint get your recipe and then take one minute and unsubscribe. Yeah. Well, you could do one recipe only like I do, which is the sugar cookie cookies.

[37:12] Well, and I've learned the last couple years, I've now switched. I use Dolly Parton's box sugar cookie mix. R.I.P. Tastes like a drink. R.I.P. Yeah, I don't I I just don't subscribe to just one recipe of cookies. Well I've I've I've set up a legacy and a standard that people expect it from. I have respect for you both when it comes to it, because Megan, I mean, there's uh joy and simplicity, and you know what you're gonna get.

[37:40] You won't be let down, you won't be getting a lot of subscriptions. Correct. And JJ, you put out some amazing, tasty cookies. Definitely, a hundred percent. It's um, you know, I just sit back and watch. And I will have some reporting, I think, coming up in a future episode. I'm gonna break this. Um, how long? How many years have you guys been doing this now?

[38:01] Oof, wow. Oh, I don't know. More than eight for sure. Yeah. Yeah. We're coming on to our 10th anniversary. Wow. Well, that's gonna require a special resume. Let's go! Okay, okay. I yeah. It's like that. It's so that if you're annoyed by it now, it's imagine every time it's fine. If we're playing sports or in a competition, I'm fine with it. Well, what about a 10th cookie anniversary?

[38:33] No, it's not appropriate. It'll yeah. I'm not I'm telling you, I'm not gonna say let's go.

38:40 — Starbucks holiday menu and Bearista collectibles

[38:40] uh, speaking of holidays, today, the day we're recording, um, is the day that Starbucks officially dropped its holiday cups and their new holiday menu is out. So for anyone who's a peppermint mocha fan, they're back. Not a fan. Can you remind me, was that your slip it in or your pull it out? It is a combo. So it's my slip it in because I'm very excited for it.

[39:08] And this year, for the first time ever, there is a pup cup holiday design. So normally they've always done hot and cold holiday design cups, but this year they've dropped a pup cup holiday design. So when you're getting your puppuccinos, now you have a cute little holiday pup cup. So these are just plastic recyclable cups. Is that right or no? Yeah.

[39:34] So Starbucks, every year in early November, they debut a new design. A new design for the holiday, along with their holiday menu. I know that I'm assuming you don't collect these, but do people collect them? Like you don't know picture making collecting them. Well, she's you're like, I'm you're like, I'm so excited about them, but at the end of the day, it's a cup with Holly on it.

[40:00] Like, what's so exciting about it? It's excited, also. It's not just the cup, it's the holiday menu. Yes. So now you have peppermint mocha is back, it goes away. It's not a year-round treat at starting. So it's less about the cup and more about the creations. And they also have special new pup cups. Correct. That's new, but they also have special new food items and drinks that they debut.

[40:29] Some drinks come back every year. Um, like they have a lot, like a sugar cookie latte, the peppermint mocha that come every year, but then they do special ones also that are new every year. And this year, which is kind of new, is they're doing a surprise Bearista glass cup. So you don't know and knows what it's gonna look like. It comes in just like a box.

[40:57] And yeah, like that sell out last year. I know, so I don't know if it's out today or not in the stores. Plus, there is a Bearista cake pop they're doing for the first time because the Bearista went so crazy. I'm not a big cake pop. I I like a cake pop occasionally. Do they still have are they still simultaneously doing their pumpkin stuff or is that done?

[41:20] Uh the pumpkin spice latte is still available, but I think it gets phased out at some point. Thanksgiving's still coming. Yeah, it goes through Thanksgiving for sure. And I think even through winter, um, I am nervous because I do love lavender. And in the past, lavender has gotten phased out when peppermint comes in. Oh god. So I am nervous that I'll lose my lavender, but I'm back with the peppermint.

[41:49] I love uh peppermint mocha, peppermint, uh cold foam. Yeah. Uh I think it's been said before, and we don't have to get into it too much, but I just I just wish we'd be a little bit more patient with all of the marketing that comes along with Christmas, and I guess it's too early for me. It's November 6th, is when we're recording today. And a lot of things have happened, I think.

[42:14] Like just recently, Mariah Carey kicked off her. She always does November 1st, November 1st. She's in an ice cube, frozen. She melts away, and she's like, it's time. Because of her All I Want for Christmas song, right? All I want for So she like makes herself like the Queen of Christmas. Yes. I didn't realize she did that. Oh, she it's her song is the most downloaded, streamed, streamed all the things.

[42:42] So she owns Christmas from a song standpoint. And I the rock think about another Christmas song, like contemporary Christmas song that has lasted that like as Mariah Carey's. Well, I'm a big fan of Carnie Wilson's Hey Santa. I'm a big fan of Bruce Springsteen's Santa Claus is coming to town. Yeah. I mean, honestly, I don't really enjoy Mariah, so I avoid her.

[43:07] Well, and all her. I'm a fan of Jose Feliciano's Feliz Navidad. Oh, look at you. I like some Feliz Navidad. Yeah. Well, my pull it out is also Starbucks on holiday day, only because holiday cup day, because it's crazy. A lot of times they, I don't know if they did it today. Yeah. See, for the but they're plastic cups. This is where I'm having a struggle.

[43:32] Like, why is it crazy to get a plastic cup? People get it's they aren't excited to get the menu again. It's the menu again. Yes, and it's the first day they can get it. And some people are really like extra crazy. They did in the past have special, I don't know if they did it this year or not, like plastic um reusable cups. So no. Some people might have been out for that.

[44:02] But I think most of it's more just wanting to try the new holiday menu items as well as the new holiday drink items. I will say that I one thing that I'm excited about is this we

44:15 — Trader Joe’s Advent calendars

[44:15] talked about advent calendars, and JJ treated us to Megan and I to Advent calendars from Trader Joe's. And I'm I think what do I start opening the doors on December 1? There's a date. Oh, there's dates on them. Yes. So I am. And it is December 1. Like as far as Christmas goes and traditions go, something to look forward to. All this shit that comes at us, it will be my first year ever participating in an advent calendar.

[44:46] And if anybody that's listening wants to get a taste of an advent calendar, those Trader Joe's advent calendars was like $1.99 and it's just a piece of chocolate every day until Christmas time. Love it. There was another advent calendar somebody was saying just came out. Oh, I mean, I was just looking, like, there's advent calendars, there's Legos, there's matchbox car advent calendars.

[45:08] Yeah. Almost everyone, every brand, it seems like has an advent calendar these days. So I mean, I hope you become fans because you guys were both not into the advent calendar. Did you get one for yourself? Okay. I love it. So do you think we're all gonna have the same thing? I got different for each one of us because I wanted to see if there was a different thing.

[45:30] Oh, so each day we can it's a kind of I don't know. I don't know if it's a good thing. It's kind of an opportunity for us. I've had it in the past. You've had it. Well, it does bring community together. Because I'm sure I'll be like, Did you guys try Tuesdays? It was so good. Yeah. Or it wasn't good. So it's the little things. It is a little thing.

[45:52] Well, I'm just happy to turn you guys into Advent Calendar fans. Well, I'm happy that I am five minutes from bed. Oh my gosh.
