  SPEAKER_01: Just if it doesn't, Meg, if you're listening, if it doesn't, I'm always here for you.

• 1:55
  SPEAKER_01: And you know, the lunch lady with the with the heart the strong arm that we were talking about, she'd she'd cater it, you know, corn dogs or pizza.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_01: Now we wouldn't want to go on Thursday because Thursday, by Thursday, you know, they do hamburgers Monday, then they do lasagna Tuesday, then they do tacos Wednesday, or maybe it's the other way around.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_01: And then by the time you get to Thursday, they're still using the same meat from Monday, but they got to disguise it.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_01: So they put it into like a spaghetti sauce or into a minestrone soup or something.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
• 2:24

  SPEAKER_02: And I think that's wonderful.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_02: What was the wedding like?
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_02: Like, was it a religious wedding?
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_01: Well, uh, you know, funny stance, I I think it was, but it was kind of a tradition that I wasn't real familiar with.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_01: It's this tradition where they have the best man dance with the new bride.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_01: And of course, I was always happy to dance with Meg.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I tell you, it didn't go so well.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_01: Why?
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_01: What happened?
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_01: Uh well, see, it turned out big fight broke out during the ceremonial dance.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_01: The ceremonial dance, it's really it's not you're not dancing, but it's ceremonial, right?
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah, so big fight broke out during the ceremonial dance, and you know, I it it may have been my fault.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, Eddie, Eddie was pretty upset.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_01: If he knew this, he wouldn't have picked me as his best man.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_02: Really?
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, sorry to hear that.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_02: So what was the fight about during the ceremonial dance?

  SPEAKER_01: And I guess we got maybe a little carried away, a little bumping, a little grinding, you know, just kind of and Eddie Eddie was getting mad.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_01: Eddie was getting really mad.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_01: He got so mad, in fact, that he, and I never knew that Eddie was this kind of guy, but he hauled off and he kicked Meg right between the legs.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_02: Like right, you know, where between the legs?
• 3:50

• 4:11
  SPEAKER_01: You know, a lot of love in that room for sure.
• 4:14

• 4:47
  SPEAKER_01: And oh yes, yes.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_02: Too bad that we didn't have the the same tradition as as Eddie's wedding.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, that would have been something to see.
• 4:55

  SPEAKER_02: I don't mean the kicking part.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_01: I mean you know, yeah, no, the part the pre-kick.

• 11:17
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_01: I'm kind of surprised that it it didn't last.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_04: I I think we were maybe 17.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I had to be because I was driving my dad's old Pontiac, you know.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_01: Remember that Pontiac Convertible?
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_01: Oh gosh, that was a great car, wasn't it?
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_02: So, Steve, you were so you were what a freshman?
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_01: 17.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_01: Um, what would I have been?
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_01: I you know, I I I don't know.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_01: I I don't know, you know, I I didn't really pay a lot of attention to the class designations because I've really not never been that labeling in class distinction, you know what I mean?
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_01: And and I didn't pay a lot of attention to the classes or the class requirements or the education part of all that, but I was really there more to meet people like Meg, you know, to really have lunch and relate and have lunch.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_01: I love lunch.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_01: I still love lunch, I've always loved lunch.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_01: Lunch is great.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_02: That sometimes I ask Kathy to wear one of those nets, hair nets that the lunch ladies wear.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_02: Um, when I was there's nothing hotter, see them slop on like mashed potatoes, you know, that are almost like soup.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_02: It it just brings back so many good memories.
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_01: Funny you should say that because one day, one day at school, I don't know if you remember this, Meg, but one day at school, I drove my mom's all 65 Impala, you know, and you know how I feel about that car.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_01: Who still to this day?
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_01: And one of the lunch ladies was coming out right as I was leaving.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_01: She was leaving and she still had the hairnet on.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_01: And oh my gosh, between the Impala and the hairnet, I practically hit like a I was going like two miles an hour.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_01: I practically hit a car.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_01: It was more than I could handle.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know if you're you remember that, Meg?
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_01: I think you, I think you were in the car with me, were you?
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_05: I I I have I think I do remember that.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_05: I don't I don't know if I was necessarily with you, but I I think that that was kind of circling around that you almost hit Lucy, our lunch lady, the yeah favorite lunch lady of the entire school.
• 13:11
  SPEAKER_01: Oh oh yeah, she was like like those bartenders with the heavy pour, you know, she had a heavy spoon on the uh on the mac and cheese, you know.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_01: She'd get the mac and cheese.
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_01: Most of most of them would give you like a little bit.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_01: Oh Lucy, yeah, she'd slap it out of there.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_01: So she'd give you more than you could eat sometimes, you know.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_01: It was good.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_01: She was really good.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_01: She was great.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and the best part was at least ours.
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_02: I was in a different school, but you'd flirt a little bit with them and they'd throw a little extra mashed potatoes your way.
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_02: And yeah, sometimes an extra fish stick, you know, would would end up on your plate.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_02: She'd give you a little wink, you know, kind of made my day.
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_01: Well, you see, I was I was always really bad at flirting, as you know, Meg would probably tell you, but I used to have Meg do the flirting.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_01: Meg would flirt with Lucy, and then we'd both get like the benefits.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_01: It was really cool.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_05: Lucy was I I for lunch almost every day I had nachos, and she'd give me a little extra nacho cheese.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_05: Oh, yeah, no, no charge.
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_01: Man, those were the days, weren't they?
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_01: Just got that extra nacho cheese.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_01: Because you got, hey, I got some, I got another spoonful of nacho cheese here.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_01: That the liquid, and that stuff's good, man.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_01: That's a healthy for you.
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_01: Speaking of food, Jeff, we have a repeat sponsor, we have a returning sponsor, somebody that not only bought an ad, but bought another ad.
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, they came back, they came back, and it's a perfect sponsor because it's been like a hundred degrees and no rain and drought and all this.
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_01: And what's the perfect food you want when it's a hundred degrees outside?
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_01: Soup.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_01: You want hot Vietnamese soup.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_01: That's exactly right.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_01: Because it's kind of like being a contrarian, you know.
• 14:50
  SPEAKER_01: You think when it's cold, everybody's gonna want that soup.
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_01: But no, I'm gonna get it now, and then I will have it when it's costless now, when it's hot, and then when it's cold and everybody else wants it, you know, I'll probably have to buy more because I'm I'm gonna eat it.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_01: But but but I digress, but you it's still being like a contrarian, you know what I mean?
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_01: Let's go to commercial.
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_01: If you want the best Vietnamese pho soup in the metro area, try some hearty pho at the King of Asian Fusion, Pha King.
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_01: Bring your friends and enjoy the pha king ambience.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_01: Or if you're in a hurry, you can take some home from our special pha king drive-thru.
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_01: Serve your whole family with a pha king kettle, or spoil yourself with our individual serving pho cups.
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_01: Our loyal customers often have a pho cup at home, a pho cup in the car, or even a pha cup at work.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_01: Wherever you go, you can have a pho cup of your very own.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_01: And we're more than just pho and pha king, we also have pha king barbecue, fa king salads, and pha king sandwiches.
• 15:55
  SPEAKER_01: Everything we serve is made with our own special fa king love and care.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_01: Join our king and queen club and we will treat you like pha king royalty.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_01: You haven't had pho until you've had pha king pha.
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_01: It's not just good, it's fa king good.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_01: 100 degrees or no hundred degrees, I want some hot Vietnamese soup.
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_02: Nothing better than that.
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_02: And you know, it's isn't that the way I'm not a biology expert or a scientist or anything, but you get some of that hot soup on a hundred-degree temperature weather, and you you just automatically start cooling down as just the sweat pours down your face.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_01: It's it kind of it kind of equalizes you, you know?
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_01: It does, it's like drinking coffee on a hot day.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's just it's it it works, but I digress.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_01: Megan, I I don't think I ever met your parents.
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_01: We were so close in high school, and I don't think I ever met your parents.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_05: I don't even know if you came to my house, Steve.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_05: I did you come to my house?
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_01: Let me think.
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_01: Wait, oh, you know what?
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_01: You're you're not in that big white house, are you?
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_01: You were in I don't know if I did.
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_01: Where where your house was we were in different neighborhoods, weren't we?
• 17:09
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I I lived in the yellow house on the corner.
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_01: Oh Bueller Street.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I remember the house.
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_01: Drove by there sometimes.
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_01: I almost hit somebody in front of that house one time, too.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_01: But that's that's a different story.
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I don't think I was ever in that house.
• 17:24
  SPEAKER_01: Wow.
• 17:24
  SPEAKER_02: Are your parents still alive?
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_05: Oh, yeah, they they still live in that yellow house on Bueller Street.
• 17:30
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, well, tell me.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we should do a remote, a remote podcast.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we'll go out to the house, tell them hi for me.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_01: Well, yeah, you know, I don't know if they, you know, know who I am or even knew who I was then, but tell them hi.
• 17:46
  SPEAKER_05: You know, I I will definitely make sure that now that you're semi kind of famous with your own podcast, I'm sure they'd love to listen.
• 17:55
  SPEAKER_05: And I'm sure they'll they'll probably listen to this since I'm on the air with you.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I I bet they will.
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_01: I bet they will.
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_01: And and so Jeff, we can start to to develop that that older demographic because you know, we're pretty old, and we really should start developing an older demographic, you know, as we get older, you know.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_02: I know exactly what you're saying.
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_02: Megan, I I'm just gonna take a shot here.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I don't know you very well.
• 18:21
  SPEAKER_02: I've only been speaking to you for what about 15 minutes or 20 minutes.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_02: Sounds like there's still something there with Steve.
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_02: I know Steve's married, I know that you're not, but it sounds like you still, you know, have that interest in Steve.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_02: And my feeling, my philosophy is you you need to really go for it, even if it doesn't happen right now.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_02: Love is something that you just can't waste and you should never forget about.
• 18:48
  unknown: Yeah.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_05: You know, if he wasn't married, maybe because you know, when you're divorced and and you're our age, you know, that dating pool kind of gets pretty shallow.
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_01: That's a big drought, big drought there.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, let me tell you.
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I well, he's in Nebraska too.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_02: I I don't know, Steve, uh uh the marital laws in Nebraska, I think it's probably okay that she starts joining you and your and your current wife.
• 19:17
  SPEAKER_01: There is a small loophole in Nebraska law that if you are a direct descendant of a settler, that you can have multiple wives.
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_01: It's it's a narrow road, you know, you got to drive very pretty carefully down that road, but there is that exception, so it's theoretically possible.
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and Megan, half of Steve is well, I don't know what that is.
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_02: Would that be a quarter with anyone else?
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_01: That'd be about a quarter of your basket.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's uh okay.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_02: So, yeah, I'm not good with uh with measurements.
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_02: I've never been, you know, much of a baker, but but I think it would be worth your while and maybe ought to just pack things up from Ocala and start heading west.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_05: Maybe we could just start like a little bit of a long distance chat before I go back to the snow.
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_01: That would be good.
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_01: We could start talking about old times, about the lunches and all those times we spent together, which I'm kind of hoping you remember some of them because I I was thinking we we saw each other a lot, but it was mostly like, hi Elizabeth, hi Steve.
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_03: You know, sometimes no memory is kind of a good memory, yeah.
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_03: Right?
• 20:20
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 20:20
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_01: I went to a party in the 80s, I have no memory of, and I am really glad that I have no memory of that party.
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yes, sir.
• 20:27
  SPEAKER_01: I sure am.
• 20:28
  SPEAKER_02: Well, you know, Steve is shy about this, doesn't like to brag, but I don't know back when you were dating him.
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_02: Was he able to tell the future?
• 20:36
  SPEAKER_02: You know, because he can he's really good at that right now.
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_02: And you know, Steve probably has a little bit of insight as to where this relationship could eventually go.
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_01: Did I tell you back then that I was from the future?
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_05: I'm not certain that I remember that.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_05: Or you know, when I was a I just thought that made you a little crazy.
• 20:57
  SPEAKER_05: I'm not yeah.
• 20:59
  SPEAKER_01: Well, you know, I was, but you know, when I was a kid, I used to hide it.
• 21:03
  SPEAKER_01: My parents told me, Don't tell anybody that you're from the future because they'll think you're nuts.
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, don't do that.
• 21:10
  SPEAKER_01: And so I kind of didn't, I did a little, but I I didn't make a big deal about it.
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe I didn't tell you.
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I don't, I'm not so sure.
• 21:19
  SPEAKER_05: I remember that.
• 21:19
  SPEAKER_05: I think that would have been something that I would remember, you know, something that would stand out in my mind.
• 21:24
  SPEAKER_01: And oh, I would think so.
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_05: Future, Steve.
• 21:28
  SPEAKER_01: Well, Megan, Elizabeth, I'm I'm I'm from the future.
• 21:34
  SPEAKER_05: That's fantastic.
• 21:36
  SPEAKER_01: Isn't that though?
• 21:37
  SPEAKER_01: I it's a burden to know what's going to happen.
• 21:41
  SPEAKER_01: And sometimes I can tell people, but sometimes they're better off not knowing.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_01: Right, Jeff?
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_01: Like your medical records.
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, don't don't look, don't look.
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
• 21:50
  SPEAKER_02: That's so true.
• 21:51
  SPEAKER_02: Absolutely true.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_02: And so Megan, it sounds like you guys are off to a good start.
• 21:56
  SPEAKER_02: And yeah, I mean, I know there are some complications, there are some hurdles.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_02: You know, you know, I could feel the flame is still there.
• 22:03
  SPEAKER_02: I can feel the heat from that flame.
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_02: I would be surprised at all if somewhere down the road, Steve, you would know this more than me, whether this show will become the Steve and Jeff and Megan podcast.
• 22:16
  SPEAKER_02: I I could see that happening.
• 22:18
  SPEAKER_01: We should reserve the name, but I it's it's a little cloudy.
• 22:20
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, most of the time I can see pretty clearly, but this is a little cloudy.
• 22:24
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 22:25
  SPEAKER_01: But I think we are on to a good start.
• 22:27
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, I think we are, because we're talking about the real things, talking about the the emotions, talking about the feelings, talking about the experience, and and that can only be good.
• 22:37
  SPEAKER_05: It yeah, I can I ask a question, future Steve.
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, sure.
• 22:43
  SPEAKER_05: Should I buy the lottery ticket tomorrow?
• 22:46
  SPEAKER_01: If you can get to Taylor Liquors in Des Plains, Illinois, you should definitely buy the ticket.
• 22:53
  SPEAKER_05: Okay, I'll have to Google that drive.
• 22:56
  SPEAKER_01: It's worth the trip.
• 22:57
  SPEAKER_01: It'd be worth an airline ticket.
• 22:59
  SPEAKER_05: Okay.
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_01: Two airline tickets, in fact.
• 23:02
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 23:02
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, it's a good price.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_04: Okay.
• 23:05
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 23:05
  SPEAKER_01: Taylor Liquors, Des Plains, Illinois.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_01: I think it's on uh I think it's on River Road.
• 23:10
  SPEAKER_01: I I it's been so long since I've been there.
• 23:12
  SPEAKER_01: I I don't remember.
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_02: You'll find the carry the full line of Mogan David wine too.
• 23:17
  SPEAKER_02: So I know I've been there for that.
• 23:19
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
• 23:19
  SPEAKER_02: You know, they sell it in those jugs, those gallon jugs that's like well, Mogan David.
• 23:24
  SPEAKER_02: That's really you know, when it's really the good since the high holidays, I just can't get enough.
• 23:28
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's why they call it the high holidays, you know.
• 23:32
  SPEAKER_01: There you go.
• 23:33
  SPEAKER_01: You're knocking them back and doing some edibles.
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_01: So, you know, it's kind of emotional to see an old girlfriend that maybe okay, maybe we never really went out in the technical sense of the word, but but still of the high school, you mean out of our lunch line, right?
• 23:50
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 23:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we we pretty much stayed in line.
• 23:53
  SPEAKER_01: We're you know, we were good kids.
• 23:54
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, there were some bad kids.
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_01: Peter, uh, you know, he was one, he's one of the bad kids, as you found out, right?
• 24:00
  SPEAKER_05: I I learned my lesson there.
• 24:03
  SPEAKER_05: There you go, see?
• 24:04
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you should have asked Future Steve back then.
• 24:06
  SPEAKER_01: It's like, hey, should I marry this guy?
• 24:07
  SPEAKER_01: Go no, no, do not, no.
• 24:10
  SPEAKER_05: Maybe I shouldn't have been laughing when I saw him breaking off keys in people's lockers and could have learned my lesson there.
• 24:17
  SPEAKER_01: It was impressive, you know, because he was on the lacrosse team, right?
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_01: Lacrosse, right?
• 24:22
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 24:22
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, so everybody thought he was a big dude, right?
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_01: But see, history, history tells, time tells.
• 24:28
  SPEAKER_01: It's interesting, you know.
• 24:30
  SPEAKER_01: In time, all is revealed.
• 24:32
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 24:33
  SPEAKER_02: And right now, I'm feeling a combination of love in the air and also a desire for Patty Melt.
• 24:41
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I remember those patty melts.
• 24:43
  SPEAKER_02: Oh god, that's they were just the best.
• 24:45
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not sure exactly what was on top of it.
• 24:47
  SPEAKER_01: I think we we went to school with Patty Melt too.
• 24:50
  SPEAKER_01: Her name was uh Patty Melatonin back then, I think was she shortened it, you know.
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I remember, I remember Patty.
• 24:56
  SPEAKER_01: I think she shortened it when she formed the rock group, you know.
• 25:00
  SPEAKER_01: You know what?
• 25:01
  SPEAKER_05: I think Steve, she's gonna is she playing at our at our reunion?
• 25:05
  SPEAKER_01: A reunion's coming up?
• 25:07
  SPEAKER_01: That's right.
• 25:08
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my gosh, I have to reserve a spot at the reunion.
• 25:12
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, I think she is playing at the reunion.
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I thought I saw that on Facebook, maybe.
• 25:18
  SPEAKER_01: Patty Melt and the cheeseburgers.
• 25:19
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, my they're they are, you know, it's it's kind of a it has a Susie Quantra ripoff a little bit, but they're good.
• 25:25
  SPEAKER_01: I mean they're okay.
• 25:27
  SPEAKER_01: Excellent.
• 25:28
  SPEAKER_02: Well, it's it's been wonderful meeting you, Megan.
• 25:30
  SPEAKER_02: This has been very enlightening.
• 25:32
  SPEAKER_02: Steve, I'm yeah, so impressed with the the quality of women that you've shared lunch with.
• 25:38
  SPEAKER_02: Megan's just the best.
• 25:40
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and there's it's just the luck of random locker assignments.
• 25:43
  SPEAKER_01: Our names aren't even alphabetical or anything, but there we were.
• 25:47
  SPEAKER_01: We had lockers next to each other.
• 25:49
  SPEAKER_05: Well, you know, I think they learned their lesson.
• 25:51
  SPEAKER_05: Remember a couple years before us when they did have lockers by alphabetical order, and then all the carries got in that big fight.
• 26:01
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
• 26:02
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, well, they were they were a miserable bunch, weren't they?
• 26:06
  SPEAKER_01: I remember them.
• 26:07
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my goodness, yeah.
• 26:08
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, everybody fought with some some carry.
• 26:11
  SPEAKER_01: I fought with probably two of them, I think, like over the years, you know.
• 26:14
  SPEAKER_01: Gosh, I'm I'm feeling so prophetic here with this touch with the past and then thinking toward the future.
• 26:21
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not supposed to be a prophet for a couple hundred years now, so I I I'm not sure what to do, but I really think that this could go somewhere, Megan.
• 26:30
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I mean, I think we could find a cafeteria maybe and go to lunch.
• 26:36
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, maybe a cafeteria into plain Illinois.
• 26:40
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, oh yeah.
• 26:41
  SPEAKER_01: You know, Taylor Liquors, they got a there's a buffet right next door.
• 26:45
  SPEAKER_01: One of those old old country or old Dixie or whatever, one of those buffets, you know.
• 26:50
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, they're going right next door.
• 26:51
  SPEAKER_01: And I bet, you know, I bet they have a heavy hand too with the mac and cheese, you know.
• 26:56
  SPEAKER_05: That's the nice thing about buffets.
• 26:58
  SPEAKER_05: I guess you can get as much as you want.
• 27:01
  SPEAKER_01: It's like relationships.
• 27:02
  SPEAKER_01: I bet that's right.
• 27:04
  SPEAKER_01: That's right.
• 27:05
  SPEAKER_01: They're so similar.
• 27:06
  SPEAKER_01: So profound.
• 27:07
  SPEAKER_01: You know, you stand online for a long time, but then once you get there, you can grab it all.
• 27:13
  SPEAKER_01: And you know, you heard that here first, okay?
• 27:16
  SPEAKER_01: That MMA guy, he's not giving out philosophy like that.
• 27:18
  SPEAKER_01: Oh no, no, no.
• 27:20
  SPEAKER_01: He's just sitting there, I did an edible.
• 27:22
  SPEAKER_01: This guy's funny.
• 27:23
  SPEAKER_01: This guy's not funny.
• 27:24
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I come on, come on.
• 27:25
  SPEAKER_01: We're talking real issues here, real people.
• 27:28
  SPEAKER_01: Elizabeth, so good to see you again.
• 27:30
  SPEAKER_01: We'll get to that diner.
• 27:32
  SPEAKER_01: I hear a cafeteria in our future.
• 27:34
  SPEAKER_05: Thanks so much.
• 27:35
  SPEAKER_05: Thanks for reaching out on Facebook and inviting me to be on your show.
• 27:39
  SPEAKER_05: It's it was a surprise.
• 27:41
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I love surprises, and listen, tell your parents to listen.
• 27:44
  SPEAKER_01: That could double our audience, really.
• 27:46
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I'm sure they will, I'm sure they'll listen for sure.
• 27:50
  SPEAKER_05: Cool.
• 27:50
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 27:51
  SPEAKER_01: Good.
• 27:52
  SPEAKER_01: That episode brings back so many memories, Jeff.
• 27:56
  SPEAKER_02: It does.
• 27:56
