  I hate that I'm older than Google, can you stop?
• 0:05
  So am I. Oh.
• 0:11
  Oh. Fun.
• 0:12
  Sad. About Google, it came out after
• 0:20
  I graduated high school, probably your senior year.
• 0:28
  I'm older than a lot of things. Oh my God, I'm older than
• 0:33
  Google. That means I know more than
• 0:35
  Google and wise beyond my years and my kid.
• 0:42
  Like reminding me I was born in the 1900s.
• 0:47
  I'm older than McDonald's double S.
• 0:48
  Oh my God, Bella, when I turned 35 my kid informed me how I'm
• 1:00
  halfway to 70. Thanks kid.
• 1:07
  Damn, is this what we're doing tonight?
• 1:18
  I guess on the highway? I told him I was really about to
• 1:21
  pull over a little while. Get ready to tuck and roll, kid.
• 1:37
  Let's start. Let's start.
• 1:39
  Let's start. We're good.
• 1:41
  All is good. Thanks for the laugh.
• 1:45
  I'm not older than Little Debbie.
• 1:47
  That's a win. I'm keeping this on a podcast.
• 1:52
  I'm keeping this. This is fun YouTube just going
• 1:58
  to like listen to it and be like who's he talking to everybody in
• 2:00
  the chat mean yeah preach it. You guys are awesome.
• 2:14
  Keep keep talking, keep doing all that.
• 2:17
  Start crunch what's before us? Hi Malice, welcome in.
• 2:27
  Thank you for being with us. Short notice again.
• 2:32
  OK, happy to be available for you.
• 2:40
  There's a certain kind of memory that only makes sense if you
• 2:42
  were actually there and it's happening in the chat right now,
• 2:45
  The kind where someone younger looks at you and goes, wait, you
• 2:48
  had to do what? To listen to music.
• 2:55
  Or you mean you could just Google it?
• 2:58
  But no, I mean, we're older than Google apparently, and we know
• 3:02
  more than Google, basically. So ask us anything, we'll Google
• 3:06
  it for you, but at the same time we'll tell you.
• 3:10
  Suddenly you're explaining things like a set rewinds with a
• 3:12
  pencil, calling a friend's house and hoping their parent didn't
• 3:15
  answer, and standing in a store listing station trying to decide
• 3:17
  if that CD was worth your entire allowance.
• 3:21
  Tonight is one of those episodes.
• 3:27
  We are the in between generations.
• 3:29
  Welcome back to my third place. Not home, not work, but the
• 3:35
  familiar. In between were nostalgia.
• 3:37
  Stories and conversations stretch out like a late night on
• 3:39
  the couch with ATV glowing in the corner.
• 3:42
  This is 2. This is episode 283.
• 3:44
  Greg is not available tonight to be with us, so I called in and
• 3:49
  reinforcement from next door. She said I'm I'm coming over
• 3:53
  with Cooper. I'm coming over.
• 3:55
  I'm walking the dog. I'm coming over with Cooper.
• 3:57
  All right, you can put Cooper in the corner over there, Right
• 4:00
  over there. I have a little bowl for him and
• 4:02
  she's hanging out with me. Two old heads remembering
• 4:06
  things. I'm sorry about this.
• 4:08
  One old head and one young girl. A little.
• 4:13
  Remember, it's fine. No, I'm not.
• 4:19
  It's all it's all be funny with it's with Greg.
• 4:21
  It's all be true with with Greg. Well, everyone listening pulls
• 4:27
  up a. Chat.
• 4:28
  We're both older than in the chat.
• 4:29
  Oh my God. Wait, we did that to.
• 4:35
  Him, he's the baby. Yeah, he is.
• 4:42
  These are going to lots of stories.
• 4:43
  We're asking things like, what's something you love growing up
• 4:45
  that kids today would never understand?
• 4:49
  The little rituals, the weird tech, the cultural moments that
• 4:51
  only make sense if you live through them.
• 4:54
  We're also diving to the legendary moment where you look
• 4:57
  back now and think, yeah, we had absolutely no business doing
• 5:00
  that, but somehow we did it anyway and survive to tell the
• 5:04
  story. And because nostalgia always
• 5:07
  travels music, we're talking about the song that reminds you
• 5:09
  of your first crush, those tracks that easily send you back
• 5:13
  to a school hallway and bus ride home, or that moment when
• 5:15
  someone handed you a mixtape and suddenly felt like the most
• 5:18
  important object on earth. I'm going to ask you later about
• 5:22
  this, but what was your version of Old Saline?
• 5:29
  His name was Pablo. Pablo.
• 5:35
  So we have old Celine and old Pablo.
• 5:37
  Yeah, yeah, I'm. Back.
• 5:41
  We'll talk. We'll talk about Pablo later.
• 5:42
  We talked about the lean. Now we're going to talk about
• 5:44
  Pablo. And here we talk about.
• 5:48
  Cindy. Yeah, I'm going to get it for
• 5:55
  that one. We're also testing out a brand
• 5:57
  new segment called Remember This.
• 6:00
  This week, we posted a picture of those legendary Origin mega
• 6:03
  story listing stations, the ones where you could put on the giant
• 6:06
  headphones, scan the CD and preview an album right there in
• 6:08
  the store. If you know, you know.
• 6:12
  And by judging by the responses from the community already, that
• 6:15
  photo unlocked a lot of memories.
• 6:19
  It did. Oh, I remember that.
• 6:21
  Oh, yeah. That's, yeah, I remember that.
• 6:23
  Didn't, didn't say anything about the memories.
• 6:26
  Just I remember that others said something like I, I, I I didn't
• 6:33
  go to Virgin Megastore, I went somewhere else.
• 6:36
  So it's fine. It's fine.
• 6:40
  Also this shows are just 90s and styles anymore.
• 6:43
  We're starting to wind the porch a little bit.
• 6:47
  Leanna says hers his name was Corey.
• 6:51
  Jesse says she looked fiftyish. Jesse says Blossom.
• 6:57
  OK, alright, we're we're like widened the porch a little bit.
• 7:03
  Cooper can now hang out on the other side of the porch.
• 7:07
  We're bringing in more people in.
• 7:09
  We're bringing in, we're bringing in the Gen.
• 7:12
  X crew. So pull up more chairs and
• 7:16
  tonight you'll hear some more 80s memories sprinkled in with
• 7:20
  the 90s. Because those eras were never
• 7:22
  really separate anyway. They were part of the same
• 7:24
  cultural mix tape up until 2005, 2000, 2005, 2005 is where we get
• 7:32
  an updated era. And as we each close to the
• 7:35
  spring break season, it unlocks another wave of memories, too.
• 7:40
  Things things like MTV spring break broadcast from Daytona
• 7:45
  Beach, where it felt like the entire country was watching
• 7:47
  college kids party on the beach like it was the biggest event of
• 7:50
  the year. Or shows like, say what Karaoke
• 7:52
  Beach Edition or something everyone saw.
• 7:54
  Yeah, I could probably do that. Spring break on TV used to feel
• 7:56
  like a culture event all on his own.
• 7:58
  And somewhere between all those stories tonight we're continuing
• 8:01
  our video. Yeah, we are officially on the
• 8:07
  road to episode 300 era. Every this episode now feels
• 8:11
  like another step closer to that moment.
• 8:14
  So whether you're a 90s kid, an 80s Gen.
• 8:16
  X, or someone discovering all those stories for the first
• 8:18
  time, pull up a chair because tonight is the last podcast
• 8:21
  episode. And more conversation with
• 8:24
  Menace and everybody in the chat listening in.
• 8:27
  And more of that. This is episode 283 of the MPV
• 8:32
  podcast. Let's get into it.
• 8:34
  Menace, how are you since I last spoke to you Wednesday night.
• 8:38
  Doing good. I'm doing good.
• 8:39
  Yeah, exactly. I'm doing good.
• 8:44
  You know, kind of had a chill day today, but it was good.
• 8:51
  Except for I had. OK, so today was good.
• 8:55
  But between last night's live and now, well, when I went to
• 9:00
  bed, I got woken up by rustling and I look and it's Cooper in
• 9:10
  cookies. He found I had some cookies in
• 9:13
  my room and he found them and eight, oh, I don't know, about
• 9:21
  15 cookies. They were golden Oreos.
• 9:27
  So with they were actually a special edition.
• 9:30
  So they're they're it's called blueberry pie.
• 9:34
  So it's a Graham cracker cookie with blueberry pie filling.
• 9:40
  So my room smoked like the pie filling as he's eating the
• 9:47
  cookies out of the container. So I had to shoo him away from
• 9:53
  there. Mind you I'm doing this like
• 9:57
  blindly because I don't have any glasses or contacts.
• 10:01
  I'm so sleeping, so I'm trying to find where he's got these
• 10:05
  cookies and I have a box on the other side of my bed that has
• 10:12
  some office supplies from my old office.
• 10:15
  One of the cookies slid down in there.
• 10:17
  So he's in the box with like this much between the his, you
• 10:23
  know, the wall, the cookie and whatever was over here.
• 10:27
  And so he's like digging his nose in there and I'm like, get.
• 10:30
  Out of there. Like this dog, I mean, this is
• 10:35
  what happens when you have a hound.
• 10:38
  They have, you know, super scent.
• 10:42
  So he found it. So and then on the other side of
• 10:45
  my bed, because I moved the bag, he found another one.
• 10:49
  So another one fell out and I was like, and I can't put in my
• 10:52
  trash because he got into the trash.
• 10:54
  So I'm like, so yeah, that was my adventurous night.
• 11:05
  So yeah, he. So I've been watching him like
• 11:08
  all day to see if he's lethargic or anything.
• 11:13
  But he was ready to go for his walk and he did fine on his
• 11:17
  walk. So I was just like, really?
• 11:22
  I was sleeping so good. Oh well.
• 11:31
  Oh yeah, wow. But yeah, so that was.
• 11:39
  Did I say the A1C update is like 5.8?
• 11:46
  Doctor wants me to go move up from a 10 milligram Monjaro to
• 11:52
  12 now. Oh, I'm not ready for that, but
• 11:56
  yeah. Hopefully are you gonna try
• 12:00
  maybe next month or? Yeah, I just need to finish my
• 12:06
  the ones I have right now so far and then I'll move.
• 12:09
  No. Next month, yeah.
• 12:11
  Yeah. And then next month in the
• 12:14
  anniversary, the five year anniversary of my diabetes.
• 12:19
  Yes. And everybody's all like, that's
• 12:21
  so weird to celebrate your diabetes like that.
• 12:26
  It's not, it's not weird. It's just.
• 12:28
  Well. It's the celebrating of the
• 12:32
  diagnosis. It's the celebrating that you
• 12:36
  bounce back from it. I, I would think, you know, that
• 12:39
  was the day that your life changed.
• 12:41
  So instead of making it something negative, make it
• 12:44
  something positive because look how good you've done, you know,
• 12:49
  since that diagnosis. So I don't, I don't see it as
• 12:55
  weird. You know, you're turning
• 12:58
  something that could have been deadly, you know, to something
• 13:03
  that you, you bounce back from it, you know, and we're all
• 13:09
  proud of you because you've done amazing.
• 13:13
  Thank you the leg crap I'm my leg is feeling better like a
• 13:18
  little sore. Yeah, that's.
• 13:20
  Gonna happen, I guess they I freaking who's in here anyway?
• 13:31
  My, my, what's it called? My calf was dropping and it's
• 13:37
  just like, you see it like going and pulsating like that and it's
• 13:40
  just like so nasty. It looks to me because it looks
• 13:44
  weird, you know? Yeah.
• 13:51
  Like this is horrible. I don't want to do this anymore.
• 13:53
  Stop. Did you notice if remember if
• 13:57
  like you were sleeping in a weird position?
• 13:59
  Like did you have your leg in a weird position?
• 14:04
  Because I know that's happened to me before.
• 14:06
  I'll like, if I have it, if I have my leg like bent too much,
• 14:11
  sometimes it cramps up like that.
• 14:13
  So yeah. It does.
• 14:16
  I mean, I was sleeping. I don't, I don't remember when I
• 14:18
  what happened. I remember waking up and, like,
• 14:21
  I got to go. I got to get up.
• 14:23
  Yeah. And then like, no, my neck
• 14:26
  hurts. Oh, no, Yeah.
• 14:30
  And then it starts hurting and stuff and I just can't.
• 14:35
  Anyway, then my thigh started hurting also.
• 14:40
  I just couldn't, like, deal with it.
• 14:42
  I just fell on the floor and just lay there for a while.
• 14:47
  The way I told this story, I took off my pants.
• 14:50
  It's like. Started.
• 14:53
  Slapping. I started messaging and then
• 14:59
  like the looks on there, I'm just what?
• 15:02
  I just took off my pants. I have shorts on me, but same
• 15:05
  time it's throbbing and it hurts and I just decided to slap it,
• 15:10
  you know, and all. And then I was like, OK, see,
• 15:14
  Leanna's doing the eyes. Like, yeah, I know.
• 15:16
  I get it. It's fine, it's fine.
• 15:20
  But after that I was fine with it.
• 15:25
  OK, so let's do let's start. Obviously this is a pod pod
• 15:31
  decks episode, so let's start with that.
• 15:34
  That's what she said Yeah. Let's open the group chat.
• 15:38
  It's time for Pod decks. Each week we ask the community a
• 15:40
  question and bring you answers back into reacting live, turning
• 15:43
  the show into one big conversation.
• 15:45
  Tell me your we had no business doing this, but we did it
• 15:49
  anyway. Story, you know the moment.
• 15:51
  Singing song hilarious you definitely didn't understand
• 15:53
  yet. Repeating jokes you heard from
• 15:54
  older cousins, watching movies you probably weren't supposed to
• 15:57
  or doing something like that made adults in the room give you
• 16:00
  that side eye. At the time, it felt normal.
• 16:02
  But looking back as an adult, you realized, yeah, we probably
• 16:05
  should have been doing that. The question is all about those
• 16:07
  hilarious childhood moments that hit different now that we're
• 16:10
  older. What did you say, sing, or do
• 16:12
  growing up that makes you laugh or cringe today?
• 16:17
  No business. So my experience was yeah, no
• 16:24
  business. Yeah.
• 16:25
  I was there was a movie called Lambada and Jane danced to that
• 16:30
  song. And I was like, Oh my gosh, I
• 16:32
  remember watching that movie when I was younger and I'm like,
• 16:36
  oh, you know, there was there was dancing.
• 16:41
  She was a dancer, you know, not a, you know, this kind of
• 16:45
  dancer, but she was a not an exotic dancer, but she's
• 16:51
  professional dancer. And I'm like up here.
• 16:56
  And you think about it, OK, the dance she was doing was the
• 17:01
  forbidden dance. So.
• 17:06
  So I'm like, oh, I probably shouldn't have been watching.
• 17:11
  And then I'm thinking, why did my parents watch this movie?
• 17:14
  I don't know, you know, but and I knew the the words, what the
• 17:24
  words meant, you know, as you're growing up listening to music.
• 17:28
  So I'm like, yeah, I shouldn't be listening to this, but I love
• 17:32
  this song. You know, this is not a for a
• 17:39
  kid or, you know, for a teenager, you know, singing this
• 17:43
  song. But we all know the songs and
• 17:47
  sing them. I will say I was not one of
• 17:51
  those naive people that listens to it now as an adult and was
• 17:56
  like, you know, I like fully understood what they were
• 18:01
  talking about. So I'm like.
• 18:07
  Except for it. I will say there was a song.
• 18:11
  It was from, you know, the 70s as me and Misses Jones.
• 18:17
  When I listened to a song, I was like, Sir, you shouldn't be sick
• 18:25
  about that. But you know, it was not missus
• 18:30
  this, whatever his last was. It was someone else's missus.
• 18:36
  But like, I think that was like one of the first songs that I
• 18:40
  was. I was taken aback, like.
• 18:43
  Wow. But then you listen to more
• 18:47
  songs like that and you're like, oh, music has been doing this
• 18:52
  forever, you know? Yes, it has.
• 18:57
  That's what it just Yeah, like songs like, I mean, taking you
• 19:03
  back like that, like. Oh, for me was too short back in
• 19:09
  the Bay because yeah, I was never supposed to listen to that
• 19:13
  ever. And then one song came on.
• 19:16
  The friend had it showed up to me because it's never his song
• 19:20
  will never come on the radio. No.
• 19:22
  But the fact that no Too Short song never came on the radio
• 19:28
  unless it was like another graphic radio station.
• 19:30
  And just like, we're going to play Too short, we're going to
• 19:33
  play Mac 10, we're going to play this OK.
• 19:36
  And Too Short came on finally. And I heard it, and I was like,
• 19:41
  oh damn, clutch your pearls, damn.
• 19:44
  It didn't have a clean version, huh?
• 19:49
  No, another one is 2 live crew. Yeah, I remember I was talking
• 19:59
  to to Greg about that and he's like, yeah, I was listening to
• 20:03
  that when I was like 6 and I'm like OMG.
• 20:08
  He's like, I had no business listening to it, but I did.
• 20:12
  I'm like, yeah, definitely. I did not listen to them just
• 20:18
  because, yeah, they I'm like, if you have to have like a big
• 20:28
  censored, you know, word over the CD cover, hey, I ain't got
• 20:37
  no business listening to that so.
• 20:43
  Wait a minute, Bella says. Feels good.
• 20:46
  By 20/20/20 we weren't supposed to be listening to that.
• 20:51
  No, no, no. It feels good.
• 20:57
  Oh, oh baby, Oh my God. I kept singing when I was a kid.
• 21:06
  I was like, I didn't know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you both.
• 21:15
  I love, I love what you're doing to me, baby.
• 21:17
  Uh huh, baby. Oh my God.
• 21:20

• 21:22
  to have me sing it. Oh no.

  Yeah, that's true. We were older, Kirsten.
• 23:34
  The kid was not, like, listening to that.
• 23:37
  Now I was like, oh, I see why Bella says that.
• 23:40
  Anyone has that little box that helps steal extra channels,
• 23:42
  spicy ones for TV? Yeah.
• 23:47
  Yeah, I did. Jane was definitely not supposed
• 23:51
  to watch Dirty Dancing at the age of seven years old or the
• 23:54
  action movie Double Impact at the age of 8.
• 23:58
  Double Impact with John Claude. And John, Claude and she, a lot
• 24:03
  of what it was actually, and a lot of it, I mean, I think I've
• 24:09
  only seen it once and I don't remember.
• 24:12
  But you know, it could have been how violent it was.
• 24:18
  You know, all the fighting, probably.
• 24:21
  I don't remember if there was any.
• 24:26
  You never know. She also says also listening to
• 24:29
  La Bomba by Azul Azul. When I was around 12:00-ish, my
• 24:32
  2 year old neighbor had been on vacation on Spain and she had
• 24:35
  heard that song there. My two years younger neighbor
• 24:39
  had been on vacation in Spain, she had heard that song there.
• 24:42
  Bomba Bomba. We heard her last night.
• 24:45
  Bomba for my nearby, my homeland or whatever.
• 24:50
  I was listening to it like why? This just feels so innocent now.
• 24:56
  Well, there's no way. Remember she was 12 so that was
• 25:01
  maybe this gay for her 12 year old mine.
• 25:08
  For so many times you played it. I know I played it many times.
• 25:19
  It was like. It was in my head.
• 25:21
  It was stuck in my head. After that I was just like.
• 25:23
  It was I was like, let me find this witnesses to it so much
• 25:29
  last night. AB hurt says once we went on to
• 25:53
  a live and join us against my friend stole my phone and ran
• 25:55
  off. The guy added me asking if I was
• 25:56
  interested. Said no I'm I'm a shark watching
• 26:01
  the movie. So I married an axe murderer
• 26:02
  eight time in a row at the theater because the projector
• 26:05
  kept breaking down. We actually only watched it
• 26:08
  through once so we didn't care. Awesome.
• 26:12
  Not the one that translated well.
• 26:16
  AOI ashiya Sahina. My friend showed me pH and I got
• 26:19
  in trouble. The Hub.
• 26:23
  Ah, I was wondering what that was, what pH was.
• 26:31
  Like pH, someone said, I know, OK, Charlie says.
• 26:35
  Chugging 17 monsters and hitting my sister in for an hour and
• 26:38
  then going with my friends to the park at 2:00 in the morning
• 26:40
  at the age of 12. Yeah, you weren't supposed to be
• 26:42
  doing that, but. All right, what's something you
• 26:57
  love that kids today would never understand?
• 26:59
  This freaking God. From Saturday morning cartoons,
• 27:04
  recording songs off the radio to arcade mixtapes, video rental
• 27:09
  stores, and being told to come home when the streetlights turn
• 27:11
  on, every generation has those moments at the fine childhood.
• 27:14
  This question invites Gen. X, millennials, and beyond to
• 27:17
  share the things that made growing up in the 80s, nineties,
• 27:19
  and early 2000s unforgettable. What would you experience as
• 27:22
  gadgets, traditions, or everyday moments that felt normal back
• 27:25
  for them, but with completely confused kids today?
• 27:28
  Whether if we want any BHS tapes, calling a friend's house
• 27:30
  phone, blowing up into game cartridges, or spending the
• 27:33
  entire day outside with your friends, we want to hear the
• 27:36
  stories. It's about sharing nostalgia,
• 27:39
  bridging generations. Remember the little things that
• 27:41
  made growing up special? You have a story of that.
• 27:44
  Let's go, Let's hear it. So I think I put 2 comments.
• 27:50
  So the first one was, yeah, just being outside, being gone all
• 27:57
  day and not really, no, you know, no cell phone and just
• 28:04
  walking around a neighborhood, you know, and kind of, you know,
• 28:09
  feeling a measure of safety. You know, nowadays it's, it's
• 28:14
  hard to, I mean, I'm not that I fear for my life, but anything
• 28:19
  can happen, you know, walking my dog, you know, so I always make
• 28:23
  sure I have my cell phone now, you know, and then I forget what
• 28:31
  the other one was. But, you know, just having a
• 28:36
  sort of freedom and not worrying about, you know, just making
• 28:40
  sure that you got home when mom and Dad said so, you know, so
• 28:45
  the street lights came on. You had to be at home.
• 28:47
  I had to be in the house, not getting home, you know, as my
• 28:52
  parents were both like, if you can't listen and be home when we
• 28:59
  tell you, yeah, you ain't going outside.
• 29:03
  Yeah, you can go to the neighbor's house, which is
• 29:05
  where, you know, both of my best friends growing up lived next
• 29:09
  door to me. So it's like, that's cool.
• 29:12
  You know, I can either go literally next door or on the
• 29:15
  other side of her was my other best friend.
• 29:18
  So I was like, huh, I just go, you know?
• 29:21
  So her parents, you know, I knew her parents.
• 29:25
  I knew my other best friend's parents.
• 29:27
  My parents knew, you know, their parents.
• 29:30
  So I was like, cool. Yeah.
• 29:32
  But growing up military brat, you know, we lived on base, so
• 29:39
  we used to go all over base. You know, there was AI guess you
• 29:47
  could call it a highway behind my house and that.
• 29:53
  What's somebody you love that kids today would never
• 29:55
  understand? Green Beanery says.
• 30:00
  Kids today will never understand the skill it took to record from
• 30:02
  the radio. Nope.
• 30:07
  Cuz that's in record. DJs talking, stop, rewind.
• 30:14
  DJ keeps talking. Yeah, OK, play the song, play
• 30:18
  the song, record. Yay.
• 30:20
  Listen to it all the way through.
• 30:21
  And then they start talking at the very end of the song.
• 30:24
  I'm like bro, yeah, that was Céline Dion.
• 30:31
  Yeah, Stella says. I got a E burner for my birthday
• 30:36
  and I also collect CDs. That's great.
• 30:40
  Green eyes, gals, everyone says playing outside with no worries.
• 30:42
  Green machines, sit and spin, Atari, dodgeball, making mud
• 30:46
  pies in the winter, making houses and snow, you know, the
• 30:48
  fun stuff. I could go on forever.
• 30:53
  We took this comment, slap people later on saying like, we
• 30:58
  still do that. My kids play outside all the
• 31:02
  time. Wait.
• 31:05
  Yeah, OK. Yeah, but do you let them out by
• 31:09
  themselves? Because we were by ourselves,
• 31:14
  you know, we were with other kids.
• 31:18
  But good. For you, right?
• 31:22
  Yeah. Yeah, we were.
• 31:23
  We weren't with other kids we were with this is the time where
• 31:29
  like, oh, here comes a white van.
• 31:31
  Hi, white van. How are you doing?
• 31:33
  I have ice cream. Oh, sure, blue ice cream.
• 31:39
  And then, you know, once we got to the 90s, like, don't go near
• 31:42
  the white the white van. No, that's a that's a that
• 31:45
  person's ready to kidnap you. And now we're just like a stop
• 31:49
  being Ubers, you know, by van like, Nope.
• 31:55
  Back then. Yeah, we're fine with that.
• 31:58
  But not here, Not anymore. Like you.
• 32:01
  Yeah, go ahead and send your kids outside.
• 32:02
  Do you live in a freaking suburb?
• 32:04
  Suburbs. Suburbs.
• 32:06
  Wow, in the suburbs. Gee, Magic School Bus dropout.
• 32:13
  I love that name. But Magic School Bus dropout
• 32:17
  says cabbage badge kids. And I love it because those were
• 32:21
  the those were the the cabbage dolls.
• 32:32
  Lisa U392, says My mom making a tent with blankets on our
• 32:36
  clothesline and putting our swimming pool on.
• 32:39
  They're there so we could just stay in the cool water all day.
• 32:44
  You know what else is good too? Care Bear, Cousins.
• 32:55
  Oh my God, she busted out. To care bear That's right.
• 33:09
  Loved those I'm look, I have over here like some old stuffed
• 33:14
  animals that I had from my childhood.
• 33:17
  So. So here's one of my favorites.
• 33:31
  So this was from when I was like 5 years old.
• 33:37

  Yeah. It's like one of the only toys
• 34:16
  that somehow made it through all of my moves.
• 34:25
  You know, it's great, Lizzie says.
• 34:29
  I used to pause the TV when there were ads on play outside
• 34:32
  and come back in so I could Fast forward the ad.
• 34:35
  We live in a freaking world where commercials are now
• 34:38
  considered ads. Well, we used to call
• 34:42
  commercials are now being called ads.
• 34:44
  I'm like. What?
• 34:49
  Yeah, it's true advertisement, but still, damn that we just.
• 34:54
  It's so weird. We just showed them the word.
• 34:55
  Damn. OK.
• 34:56
  But you know, it's funny. Hurry up before she must be in
• 35:01
  her. I would say maybe like in her
• 35:04
  30s because right. Right.
• 35:07
  We never had that growing up till like I was a teenager where
• 35:12
  you could pause the TV, you know.
• 35:18
  So I'm like, so I mean, that's still pretty awesome because you
• 35:21
  know, we're asking, you know, what you and what you had
• 35:25
  growing up. But I was like huh, never
• 35:30
  thought about that but. Bella said why did I blow my
• 35:35
  mind? I didn't even think of that.
• 35:37
  But I also had my medical card and chocolate.
• 35:42
  So mind blown, but still, yeah, medicated.
• 35:46
  Anyway, yeah. Yeah, that's like they're like,
• 35:58
  I wasn't able, we weren't able to pause, but I was able to
• 36:01
  pause the BCR when I wanted to pause, like when you wanted to
• 36:07
  pause the show. Yeah.
• 36:10
  Now when you go through the ER, you can't even do that as you
• 36:13
  like to stop it and it's like through the commercial.
• 36:17
  Yeah, I tried doing that for the commercials, like I record
• 36:21
  stuff. Yeah, it's.
• 36:22
  Like I had like freak 550 different things in there like,
• 36:26
  oh, that's horrible. Like it was like that's what I
• 36:30
  wanted to do back then. That's how I did it back then.
• 36:32
  Now it's like this is horrible if I ever ended up doing it
• 36:34
  again. Yeah.
• 36:36
  Connor Jen says drinking from the water hose when we were
• 36:40
  thirsty as now we drink the good water in bottles.
• 36:43
  Now there are no back in there. The hose.
• 36:50
  The hose was. Fine, as long as it wasn't a hot
• 36:54
  summer day, because then it was terrible.
• 37:00
  Hot hose water not. Good.
• 37:08
  Even the taste of it in my mouth already, like ah, boiling hot
• 37:14
  water. Yeah.
• 37:16
  The the toes of the metal of the end of the hose.
• 37:23
  Well, it's like you had to let him run a little bit.
• 37:25
  You did. You did have to, yeah, Raphael
• 37:30
  says, waking up in time to catch morning cartoons before school.
• 37:34
  Or getting on me TV for superhero Sundays.
• 37:37
  What Superhero Sundays? I didn't know you.
• 37:40
  Had that. And not Mrs. Horror slasher,
• 37:44
  Price says. Saturday morning cartoons.
• 37:45
  Yes, of course. Have you watched any of the old
• 37:52
  cartoons on Tubi? No.
• 37:57
  No. No Muppet Baby.
• 38:01
  The only things I watch. Muppet Babies.

• 38:08
  bus dropout, she says put a posted a picture of a cat.
• 38:11
  Cabbage Patch Kids. And I'm just like, yes.
• 38:14
  And then I was like, wait, I'm thinking of Garbage Pail Kids.
• 38:18
  Yeah, you know, I was like, there's a there's the parody of
• 38:22
  the Cabbage Patch Kids, but they're like nasty looking ones,
• 38:26
  Bella says. Does anyone remember?
• 38:27
  Are you afraid of the book? Yes.
• 38:29
  What was that? We all do, do you remember?
• 38:33
  Are you afraid of the dart? Yes.
• 38:36
  Yes, so Netflix has the the chance to do the funniest thing
• 38:42
  ever. You know, they backed out on
• 38:48
  their deal with DC and the Warner Brothers because
• 38:52
  Paramount Plus with pushing in and pushing in and pushing in
• 38:55
  and pushing in. So, you know, Netflix is just
• 39:00
  now like, bro you, you let another company beat you out and
• 39:06
  stuff. So now Netflix go get Buffy and
• 39:13
  all is forgiven. If you put Buffy on your show,
• 39:17
  everything will be forgiven about DC because DC is on hot
• 39:23
  and on hot water right now. Warner Brothers on hot water
• 39:27
  right now with Paramount Plus. They don't even know if we're
• 39:29
  going to get there. We keep games done there.
• 39:32
  Oh, yeah, in the next year, Superman and YouTube, I don't
• 39:37
  even know what's going on. I don't even know he wants to
• 39:39
  stay there anymore after that. Like he just got the job too
• 39:42
  with all that. But now just like bring in
• 39:46
  Buffy, I'll go back to Netflix. I was gonna, I was gonna order
• 39:50
  Paramount Plus too because of that, like because all the DC
• 39:53
  movies are gonna be there. Now I'm just like, Nah, see
• 39:56
  Netflix if you do this, if you bring in Buffy, I'll stay with
• 39:59
  you. I'll stay with you.
• 40:01
  I'm also staying with Disney Plus, but I'll stay with you.
• 40:06
  But not ESPN. What was something that you
• 40:18
  loved at yesterday? Would never understand.
• 40:22
  I it's like a lot of things, like everything everybody named,
• 40:30
  mix tapes, CDs, radio, Saturday morning cartoons, like
• 40:37
  everything that everybody named like we love those drinking from
• 40:41
  water. I did those too.
• 40:43
  I was like, and Michael Jordan, like they all no, like the 90s
• 40:55
  eighties stuff. Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen,
• 41:02
  Rodman. And I saw it earlier and like,
• 41:05
  Rodman was like, you know, helping him and Jordan and
• 41:09
  Jordan, like all three of them. And I was like, kids today would
• 41:11
  never understand that because all they think about is LeBron
• 41:17
  James being the GOAT and all this, and he's over here, like,
• 41:21
  falling and shit. Yeah.
• 41:23
  Like. To be hit, like if the situation
• 41:28
  was where LeBron was transported back to the 90s and started
• 41:30
  playing, I don't think he would have handled the Philadelphia
• 41:33
  studies. You know, they, I've heard a lot
• 41:37
  of the basketball players, they're like, don't ever say to
• 41:43
  me that right, that, you know, LeBron is the GOAT.
• 41:49
  He's like, because he couldn't handle, you know, what's going
• 41:52
  on, what was going on back then, You know, when we were playing,
• 41:57
  You know, it's like, you know, the they always say, how many
• 42:01
  rings does Jordan have? He has 6.
• 42:05
  How many times did he lose in the playoffs?
• 42:08
  None. You know, he's been to the six
• 42:12
  playoffs that he went to. He has a ring for every single
• 42:16
  one. You know, they're like, he
• 42:18
  didn't brag about, oh, look what I've done.
• 42:21
  Look at that. He showed it on the court.
• 42:25
  You know, they're like, so don't ever say that LeBron is the
• 42:29
  GOAT, because when you're the GOAT, you don't have to say
• 42:33
  you're the GOAT. Your work speaks for it.
• 42:37
  You know what I mean? And I'm like, you know, I've, I
• 42:41
  like, I haven't really watched basketball since, you know, the
• 42:46
  Sonics left. So I'm like which is a long
• 42:51
  time. You know, watch this.
• 42:55
  This Derrick Rose. Yeah.
• 42:58
  The Bulls. So I'm like.
• 43:00
  Because we were waiting. It's like, oh shit.
• 43:03
  So I'm like, I know nothing about basketball, you know, But
• 43:07
  from the highlights that I've seen, I'm like, yeah, I don't
• 43:10
  know what LeBron is talking about just because he's still
• 43:13
  doing it since he was, you know, he's he was in the NBA, what,
• 43:17
  18? And he's still in it.
• 43:22
  OK, you know, good for you. But you didn't stay consistent
• 43:27
  with one team, you know? No.
• 43:30
  He Jordan did. Jordan did, Pippen did, and then
• 43:36
  Rodman, like, all right, let me go into the Bulls, you know, NWL
• 43:42
  also. But you know, let me stay with
• 43:44
  the Bulls now because he was over there with a team with the
• 43:48
  76ers and doing all kinds of elbows.
• 43:51
  And you? Know grabbing the ball, but then
• 43:53
  he ended up with the Bulls like all right, I got you I got you
• 43:56
  Jordan, you got this but same time we got you had LeBron done
• 44:01
  that he like he would've been doing the same thing he did back
• 44:04
  then. He would've been doing the same
• 44:06
  thing he did now where he went to different team Oh, he would
• 44:09
  end up with the 76ers bat and then like too many hits go back
• 44:16
  go to the bulls 76ers go back to the bulls try to beat the bulls.
• 44:21
  Jordan leaves. He'll go with the Suns or
• 44:24
  whoever ended up winning those other games the championship NBA
• 44:28
  go straight to with Karl Malone because he wants to beat the
• 44:34
  bulls at their own game and then it's like Oh no, you guys are
• 44:38
  winning sorry, go back go back to the bulls, but Michael going
• 44:43
  to leave and now he's stuck with them.
• 44:47
  Bella have to jump out but have fun.
• 44:49
  Thank you. Have a great night everyone.
• 44:50
  You too, Bella, be safe. Thank you, Bella.
• 44:52
  Appreciate. You have fun, fun hanging out
• 44:56
  with you and have a good night. All right, we're at remember
• 45:05
  these. We did.
• 45:08
  The listening stations at Virgin Megastores were one of the best
• 45:10
  way to discover music before streaming existed.
• 45:13
  You walk up, throw on the head, scroll to the album samples
• 45:16
  inside the city was worth taking home.
• 45:18
  Sometimes you skipped around looking for the hit songs, other
• 45:21
  times you stayed and listened to the whole album before deciding
• 45:23
  it needs to go home with you. For a lot of those, this was
• 45:26
  where we discovered new artists, fell in love with albums and
• 45:28
  spent way more time than we planned inside the store.
• 45:31
  Do you remember these? How did it make you feel?
• 45:34
  What music did you ever discover here?
• 45:36
  What album did you listen to all the way through before buying
• 45:39
  them? So some of them, I posted that
• 45:43
  and I ended up getting things like, oh, remember those.
• 45:46
  Yeah. Good times.
• 45:49
  And then I ended up getting yeah, I, I I didn't go here.
• 45:54
  I went somewhere else. Right.
• 45:57
  Yeah, I know I was one of those people.
• 46:02
  But and. I didn't know others others had
• 46:05
  it also. I just thought it was like a
• 46:06
  virgin megastore saying I didn't know Sam goody had it also.
• 46:12
  So like I I only went to 1 to 1 store with virgin stations and
• 46:16
  it was virgin. So.
• 46:18
  In. Yeah, in the mall humor they
• 46:22
  had, it was like I said, I didn't have a Virgin Megastore,
• 46:27
  but they didn't they. So I had Sam Goody and there was
• 46:30
  another one, I can't remember it now, but they would have like
• 46:37
  like 1 station in like each like genre, you know, so like if they
• 46:44
  had a rap genre, they'd have a listen station there.
• 46:48
  But if I remember correctly, it was kind of like a, a box.
• 46:54
  And then they would say, OK, press this button for this CD,
• 46:58
  press this button for this CD, you know, and then you could
• 47:00
  listen to it like that. So I was like, oh, OK, those are
• 47:03
  cool. But I, I think the having it
• 47:06
  like Virgin Megastore would have been even more cooler, you know,
• 47:10
  because then you didn't have to wait till somebody was done, you
• 47:13
  know, if they had a, you know, if it was like that for
• 47:17
  everybody. But yeah, those were, I thought
• 47:20
  those were pretty awesome. And I think I listened to Montel
• 47:26
  Jordan's album before I bought it, his second album, and it was
• 47:33
  awesome. His.
• 47:34
  Second album. Yeah, so I bought it.
• 47:38
  And then, yeah. It got stolen so I bought it
• 47:42
  again. Oh yeah, somebody broke into my
• 47:45
  car and stick like took my CD wallet.
• 47:48
  So I'm like. No mine.
• 47:54
  So here's how you can tell. It was like, because like going
• 48:00
  in there, like you didn't know some of the artists, so it was
• 48:03
  like a new thing for you. OK, You didn't.
• 48:06
  So it was like, all right, Alien Ant Farm had just come out.
• 48:11
  Right. With Loose Criminal and OK,
• 48:15
  cool, great. You know this, that song rocks.
• 48:18
  Let me go listen to the entire album now.
• 48:21
  Yeah, well, I'm standing there and I'm listening to the first
• 48:27
  song and it's like, why there's a rock band?
• 48:31
  Why is this so mellow? Yeah.
• 48:34
  OK, that's weird. Next song.
• 48:37
  Come on, another mellow song. OK, Must be a saying where it's
• 48:42
  like a few songs in there maybe #3 and #4 is like, it's the
• 48:46
  banger, you know, besides Criminal.
• 48:50
  No, it's fine. I get this move, Criminal
• 48:55
  finally. And I'm just like, you know,
• 48:56
  knocking out and just like hell yeah, yeah, cool, cool, cool
• 49:00
  song. Another move with another
• 49:02
  freaking mellow song. And I'm just like, what the
• 49:05
  hell? So I'm looking at the back of
• 49:06
  the CD and it's like, huh, yeah, I just want this.
• 49:10
  I'm out. Not buying this one.
• 49:15
  So did you buy the single? No, I didn't want the singles
• 49:21
  like you were going to fake advertise everything because.
• 49:24
  I don't. Want it?
• 49:26
  Because I know sometimes that was kind of better than getting
• 49:29
  the whole album. Sometimes you've seen it on
• 49:35
  music video, so it's all over the freaking music videos.
• 49:38
  It's all over the radio. It's like, I don't need to
• 49:40
  listen to this. Yeah, the other one was Usher.
• 49:43
  OK, because I heard my way. OK.
• 49:46
  Out and then I dedicate that to a girl.
• 49:49
  OK, so you know, I was like listening to it.
• 49:54
  I bought the single. I gave it to the girl and I was
• 49:56
  like, hey, look at this, OK, You make me want to be the one I'm
• 50:00
  with and start a new relationship with you.
• 50:04
  Who are you leaving me for? Oh, but I just start to fucking
• 50:09
  talk with Hot and I. Wanted to move to you.
• 50:12
  You make me want to you just want to you just what you do.
• 50:17
  You make me laugh, you make me you make me at first sight.
• 50:26
  Just all that stuff and I'm like kind of remember the song, but
• 50:29
  it's like like, why are you so why are you giving me that song?
• 50:32
  Who you leaving me for? Like what happened?
• 50:35
  Like no, I fucking eat and everything is fucking awesome.
• 50:38
  Look at this. All right, cool.
• 50:41
  The next couple months later, the song, the album comes out.
• 50:45
  I go in there, I listen to it. Oh my God, the entire album is a
• 50:49
  banger. No skips.
• 50:51
  I'm telling you, no skips. Like, listening back to it My
• 50:58
  Way, it was a My Way album, right?
• 51:00
  Yeah, it was a My Way album. Slow.
• 51:04
  Oh, my God. Everything about the like album
• 51:08
  was just like in there. And I'm just like, let me buy
• 51:11
  it. And I bought the album and
• 51:12
  everything, and I took it home. At the time we had broken.
• 51:15
  Up So who really is this about? Right.
• 51:24
  Like who's this? Talking about like, we broke up.
• 51:26
  Why? And I'm just like, and I heard
• 51:29
  from her best friend, like, yeah, didn't you give her that
• 51:31
  one song? Like, yeah, why?
• 51:33
  She still sings it. She still has it.
• 51:36
  Why give it back? I don't know.
• 51:38
  You're making me. You make me want to leave it
• 51:40
  when I'm with. Well, who did you leave for her?
• 51:43
  Like nobody but you. Know.
• 51:45
  Same time, whatever. Now who did she leave me for,
• 51:50
  you know? Nobody.
• 51:59
  Nobody. But The funny thing is that I've
• 52:02
  always said this. I would never date a girl at my
• 52:04
  school because it would be so weird to have to see her and
• 52:08
  date some other people, and it'd be weird for her to see me if I
• 52:11
  date girls. So they did her, and she didn't
• 52:17
  go to my school at all, but the next time we ended up dating
• 52:21
  did. And he comes up to me one day
• 52:25
  like, so I hear you dated this girl.
• 52:27
  And I'm like, yeah. Who wants to know?
• 52:33
  No, It's like, yeah, yeah, With me.
• 52:35
  I did. Why?
• 52:36
  What's up? What happened?
• 52:37
  Oh, nothing. She was just, like, telling me
• 52:39
  about you and everything. And I'm like, huh.
• 52:43
  OK. Does she still have that one CD?
• 52:49
  It's like, yeah, she listens to it all the time, OK, Why?
• 52:53
  I was like, no, just make me. She still thinks about me, bro.
• 53:00
  Hey, it's breaking to you. You know, he's just one song in
• 53:06
  there and it's Make Me Wanna and bad song.
• 53:11
  I don't know why you're still listening to it.
• 53:13
  I don't know why you think about me when you do it.
• 53:15
  It's a bad song. And yet I'm the one that gave it
• 53:18
  to her and she feels like I cheated on some of them to give
• 53:21
  with her. Like no, it's cool.
• 53:23
  It's it's all good. It's all good.
• 53:28
  That's the reason I love these Virgin Megastores, because he
• 53:32
  can hear the album before it comes out.
• 53:34
  Some of them are good Usher. Other times are bad and
• 53:37
  horrible. Like Alien out for him.
• 53:39
  I didn't like it. The other one was Aaliyah when
• 53:43
  it first came out. Four page letter.
• 53:46
  OK, was it 4 page? 4 page letter yes.
• 53:49
  Per second album, yeah. There's one in a million, yeah.
• 53:55
  One in a million. But but four page letter was on
• 53:57
  there, yeah. So yeah, one in a million.
• 54:04
  She's R&B. Yeah.
• 54:06
  Oh yeah. That's just I.
• 54:08
  That's just I started doing. She's the Princess, She's the
• 54:11
  Princess. Of course she is always be the
• 54:15
  Princess. Oh my love, my love, always my
• 54:21
  love. What was, who had, who said what
• 54:27
  was yours? Is that, what was that yours?
• 54:29
  That you had a crush on someone on a band.
• 54:33
  Oh, Jordan Knight. Jordan Knight.
• 54:37
  Mine was Aaliyah. Yeah, yeah.
• 54:40
  My cousin. I had a cousin who just thought
• 54:44
  she was all that, you know, when she first came out.
• 54:49
  I mean, she was a beautiful girl.
• 54:51
  She was a beautiful woman, yeah. The first album of Leah album
• 54:56
  was fine and then you hear the story like what's his face with
• 54:59
  her? And it's just like, there's no
• 55:02
  way the back and forth album. Uh huh.
• 55:05
  Aging. Aging, but a number.
• 55:08
  Case in point. Yeah, I don't know.
• 55:14
  You know, it's so funny you think about that song, Yo, the
• 55:21
  title is AJ, but a number. And then on, I think it was on
• 55:27
  his his first album, he the song.
• 55:31
  She's got that vibe. He's naming all these little
• 55:35
  girls, all these not little girls, but these girls and
• 55:38
  little cute Aaliyah's got it. So yeah.
• 55:46
  Yeah, you got married to it. That I hate.
• 55:48
  Oh. God, yeah.
• 55:52
  So I'm like, but, you know, after, after hearing all that
• 55:58
  stuff, you're like, OK, you know, that makes sense.
• 56:02
  And then, you know, you think, oh, wow, you know, she was that
• 56:07
  big of an influence. You know, he was a big influence
• 56:09
  on her. So it's like, it's crazy, you
• 56:14
  know? Yeah.
• 56:20
  All right, Next topic. Songs that remind you of your
• 56:23
  first crush. The songs that instantly take
• 56:25
  you back to the first big crush. Maybe you recorded on a mixtape,
• 56:30
  hoping you could hear it and get the message.
• 56:33
  Maybe it was a song playing in your head while they walk toward
• 56:36
  you in slow motion. Always.
• 56:37
  I don't know how I typed this. I was just like looking at this.
• 56:40
  Like. And then like she's coming in
• 56:45
  like kind of like Kent hardly wait when Amanda Beckett first
• 56:48
  comes in through the with the party and she's like everything
• 56:51
  zoomed in on her and it's in slow motion and freaking do this
• 56:54
  all like, you know. Who's that?
• 56:58
  Oh boy. Yeah.
• 57:01
  Maybe it was a song playing in your head while you walked
• 57:03
  through it in slow motion, Or maybe it was a song that played
• 57:06
  at a school dance, on the radio during the car ride, or through
• 57:08
  your headphones while you daydreamed about them.
• 57:10
  This question is for everyone across generations, whether your
• 57:12
  first crush soundtrack came from the 80s, ninety, 2000s, or
• 57:15
  later. What song reminded you of that
• 57:16
  first feeling? Drop the song in the memory to
• 57:18
  come with it. You want to go first?
• 57:22
  Sure, go first. So I put 2.
• 57:26
  So the first one was shoot because of because of Pablo.
• 57:30
  You know, I was like, oh, he's so cute.
• 57:32
  And you know, I didn't, I wasn't thinking about, you know, having
• 57:36
  his baby or anything. But as the song says.
• 57:40
  But that's just the song that was like popular then, you know,
• 57:45
  I was like, Oh my gosh. But anyway.
• 57:49
  But then I was like, no, my first real crush was from Jordan
• 57:53
  Knight. I'm new kids on the block, so
• 57:57
  anytime he sings baby, I believe in you.
• 58:00
  I'm like, he's talking to me. OK?
• 58:08
  I was a kid. But I will say when I thought
• 58:14
  this was like so hilarious when I first got on, was it TikTok?
• 58:23
  Yeah, I first got a TikTok. He had a TikTok too, and he
• 58:29
  followed me and I'm like, Oh my gosh.
• 58:33
  And it was the blue check mark. It wasn't a fan page.
• 58:37
  So I was like, Oh my gosh. And somebody's like how?
• 58:42
  I'm like, I don't know, he saw my picture and maybe he thought
• 58:49
  I was cute. I don't know.
• 58:51
  But then he got rid of his page, so, you know, but I was like,
• 58:56
  that's pretty awesome. So yeah, the that's all.
• 59:01
  No, it takes you think of him. OK, so you'll put a group to buy
• 59:06
  salt and pepper. Mm.
• 59:08
  Hmm, what's that about? I said it make me thought of
• 59:11
  that boy Pablo. Pablo would buy one.
• 59:17
  Yeah. OK, All right, all right.
• 59:23
  OK. Greg last week said old Celine.
• 59:29
  So we're gonna get his answer again.
• 59:31
  Yeah. You know, like, pretty snow.
• 59:34
  But my old, your old Celine male version was Pablo.
• 59:38
  My old Celine was a girl named like, hopefully they don't
• 59:43
  listen to this podcast ever. I don't think my, my friend from
• 59:46
  high school will ever listen to this part.
• 59:48
  But it was a girl named Cindy. I met her in 7th grade.
• 59:53
  OK. And like, to me, she was
• 59:56
  freaking. Everything was like, yeah, hi.
• 59:59
  Like, not just because she was gorgeous, but like, her mind,
• 1:00:04
  everything about her. She's like, oh, you're cute.
• 1:00:07
  Hi. Yeah.
• 1:00:08
  And I'm just like, midnight. Say anything to her.
• 1:00:12
  I was just like, the entire time I'm freaking quiet and not
• 1:00:15
  saying anything. And then once I got comfortable,
• 1:00:18
  I was awkward and I was just like, fuck.
• 1:00:21
  Why? So the song that reminded me of
• 1:00:23
  her was Let Can We Talk by Tevin Campbell.
• 1:00:28
  OK. So every time that song, it's
• 1:00:30
  like, you know, saying it, it's like singing it and like, can we
• 1:00:34
  talk baby for a minute? I don't know your name.
• 1:00:39
  And I did find out her name. And then one of my friends, the
• 1:00:42
  only friend that ever knew this, he was also from middle school
• 1:00:47
  to high school, He knew for all six years.
• 1:00:50
  And he's all like, when are you going to do it?
• 1:00:53
  When are you going to ask her out?
• 1:00:54
  Yeah, When are you going? To do this, when are you going
• 1:00:56
  to do that? And I'm just like you.
• 1:00:58
  You know exactly why. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:01:01
  Though no, go, go for it. And every time we were alone, he
• 1:01:06
  and he'd pass by and he's looking and he's seeing me and
• 1:01:08
  he's all like like looking smiling at me.
• 1:01:11
  And I'm just like, Nah, yeah, come on, dude.
• 1:01:14
  It's like, no, but still like we're best friends.
• 1:01:17
  He was friend that you that I like girl, that she was the
• 1:01:21
  freaking top of my list and that she will always be there.
• 1:01:25
  And I'm just like, hey, you know, like we're best friends,
• 1:01:27
  blah, blah. I got friends though.
• 1:01:29
  It's fine. But still like, you know, I have
• 1:01:32
  my eyes on her. If anything happens, I'm there
• 1:01:35
  and but still didn't make the connection or anything even at
• 1:01:40
  the OR prom where I'm just like, you know, we're standing side by
• 1:01:45
  side and we're like, can I ask her to dance?
• 1:01:49
  Like no, no, she's on a date. All right, Who you with?
• 1:01:52
  And they're like, I brought this guy.
• 1:01:54
  I was like, oh, here comes homie.
• 1:01:57
  Like bro, I know she's on a date.
• 1:02:01
  Who you we are with her. It's like, OK, let me go hang
• 1:02:05
  out with you. And like that, like he had that
• 1:02:08
  moment where it's like, are you OK, man?
• 1:02:11
  Did you ever, did you and her ever do it?
• 1:02:14
  I was like, yeah, like once where I had her number and we
• 1:02:16
  talked and that was it. But it's like nothing came about
• 1:02:19
  it. She's so busy.
• 1:02:21
  And like, in high school, you change because she was a Latina.
• 1:02:26
  And she was just like, she went from the shy girl to this
• 1:02:31
  protester and Latin X and all that stuff.
• 1:02:35
  And I'm just like, damn, we changed a lot, didn't we?
• 1:02:38
  And I'm just like, you know, that's the whole reason I liked
• 1:02:42
  her because her mind was like there.
• 1:02:46
  So what ended up happening was her younger sister came to high
• 1:02:49
  school in 9th grade while we were a senior.
• 1:02:52
  Just like every time I tried talking to her, her younger said
• 1:02:54
  to be like go away like leave me alone.
• 1:02:59
  Yeah. You know.
• 1:03:01
  Like that. Like we know you're like my
• 1:03:03
  sister. Like who's who is we?
• 1:03:06
  Me and my sisters. Oh, yeah, you have other
• 1:03:09
  sisters. And I'm like, did Alfredo tell
• 1:03:15
  you? It's like who's Alfredo?
• 1:03:16
  Never mind. Yeah, never mind.
• 1:03:19
  You, but at the same time everybody knew because the way I
• 1:03:21
  looked at her, the way I talked to her, the way I like, you
• 1:03:24
  know. Interacted with her.
• 1:03:27
  Put her up on the pedestal and everything and I was just like,
• 1:03:31
  all right, I guess that never happened.
• 1:03:34
  And I still have that little situation where I'm just like,
• 1:03:37
  I'm never going to date a girl that's from the same high
• 1:03:39
  school. That's why it'd be weird time
• 1:03:42
  here I am with her. I'm like.
• 1:03:46
  Hi, I'll. Be waiting for you girl.
• 1:03:51
  All that shit anyway. Yeah.
• 1:03:53
  So with, with Pablo, Yeah, he was, we had like two classes
• 1:03:59
  together. Now, as you remember, it was my,
• 1:04:02
  my social studies class. So, and this was 9th grade.
• 1:04:06
  Yeah, 9th grade. I went to a junior high.
• 1:04:09
  So, so it was 7th or 9th. So we had a couple class
• 1:04:15
  together and he always like, he like came over to me one time
• 1:04:17
  and I'm like, hey, what's up? You know, like, totally.
• 1:04:22
  Like, I can't believe he's sitting next to me.
• 1:04:25
  And he's like, hey, you know, so, you know, we, we need to
• 1:04:29
  talk. And I'm like, why?
• 1:04:31
  He's like, oh, you know, I just want to get to know you.
• 1:04:33
  And I'm like, OK. And in my mind, I'm like, is he
• 1:04:38
  for real? Because I mean, like, a lot of
• 1:04:40
  girls like, liked him. He was, you know, he was cute.
• 1:04:44
  And I'm like, why is he talking to me?
• 1:04:47
  I'm so awkward, you know? And he's like, oh, yeah.
• 1:04:51
  So we should talk. I was like, OK.
• 1:04:54
  And so yeah, we talked and he's like, you know, yeah, you could
• 1:04:58
  be my girlfriend. I'm like, no, I can't have a
• 1:05:00
  boyfriend. My mom will find out, you know?
• 1:05:05
  So he's like, come on. I'm like, no, I can't because I
• 1:05:10
  thought I was going to get in trouble, you know?
• 1:05:13
  So I, I think he moved away like 3 months later and I'm like,
• 1:05:22
  what's happened to him, you know?
• 1:05:25
  But I'm like, I've, I've never seen him again.
• 1:05:28
  Like never. I think I haven't tried to find
• 1:05:32
  him or anything. You know, just like, oh, he was
• 1:05:37
  cute. What could have been, you know,
• 1:05:42
  maybe if he was still around, maybe he would have been my prom
• 1:05:45
  date and it would have been better.
• 1:05:49
  But no. And I remember all the girls
• 1:05:56
  would sing that song to him. And I'm like, oh, so that's
• 1:06:00
  another reason why I was like, Oh yeah, that makes me think of
• 1:06:02
  him because all the girls sang that to him.
• 1:06:07
  Oh wow, where we at? Hey let's Jane says I was pretty
• 1:06:20
  young when I had my first crush in that song that always
• 1:06:23
  reminded me of him as Pinky sang Pinky song, the song from an

  We all love this one. Not the not we already did the
• 1:08:26
  whole what did you? What were you watching?
• 1:08:29
  Yeah. When you sick or when you make
• 1:08:34
  your mistake and you wanted to stay home.
• 1:08:36
  Yeah. Now it's What were your cures
• 1:08:40
  when we were sick? They were, yeah.
• 1:08:45
  Yeah, we all top five cures for when you were sick, Jane says
• 1:08:51
  lemon soda like Sprite, paracetamol, ibuprofen, chips,
• 1:08:56
  long pasta. Andy Lyon says 7UP chicken
• 1:09:01
  noodle soup, cough syrup, hot tea, saltines.
• 1:09:04
  Samantha Kessinger says sleep, vitamin C&D, clear liquid
• 1:09:08
  cracker, toast bean. She she's gonna she feels like a
• 1:09:12
  mom, like she was helping us, like she's telling us this, like
• 1:09:16
  this is what we need to do, right?
• 1:09:17
  Yeah. Leanna says 7UP onions on the
• 1:09:23
  bottom are with socks on. Rubber Tusson apparently cured,
• 1:09:28
  cured everything. Pick a little soup and crackers.
• 1:09:30
  Vapor rub also apparently did went on the top feet.
• 1:09:33
  And if you had a fever stick pulled it up, we could sweat it
• 1:09:35
  out. OK, tell us about the onions on
• 1:09:37
  the bottom of the feet with socks on.
• 1:09:39
  Leanna, if you're here, tell us more about that.
• 1:09:45
  What was your? Mine was staple rope.
• 1:09:51
  Yes. Ginger ale, crackers of 7UP or
• 1:09:56
  you know, or lemon, lemon, lime soda and milk with grappa in it,
• 1:10:07
  which is an Italian Brandy. So.
• 1:10:12
  That stuff was strong, knocked you out and made you feel 10
• 1:10:16
  times better, you know, and my mom, she, you know, got it when
• 1:10:25
  we, she got it from a friend when we lived in Italy.
• 1:10:29
  So and it just kind of stuck with us.
• 1:10:35
  And now we're like this. I mean, it was, it wasn't like
• 1:10:42
  good, but it helped. So you kind of just, you know,
• 1:10:47
  you warmed the milk through a little bit of the grappa in
• 1:10:50
  there and you drank it and it made you feel better in the
• 1:10:55
  morning. And then if my mom was home, she
• 1:11:04
  would make us crema, which is, you know, cream of wheat, but
• 1:11:08
  she made it, you know, like I said before, she didn't make it
• 1:11:12
  like it says on the box. So she would do water, milk,
• 1:11:17
  vanilla, sugar and the the cream of wheat.
• 1:11:23
  And I don't know what what it was because we still can't
• 1:11:27
  duplicate it, but no one made it like like our mom so.
• 1:11:35
  Right, right, right. So that was kind of like our
• 1:11:38
  treat. OK, let me go back.
• 1:11:45
  Remember the home, everybody? Remember the home remedy to your
• 1:11:48
  family used when you were sick as a kid?
• 1:11:50
  Over the top five cures everyone tried when you were sick, from
• 1:11:53
  Vicks on the chest to ginger ale cartoons on the couch.
• 1:11:56
  And those weird remedies that your parents swore by, even if
• 1:12:00
  they sounded like total myths. If you had to be back at school
• 1:12:03
  for that Friday quiz, you were doing whatever it took to feel
• 1:12:06
  better. So now we want to hear from you.
• 1:12:07
  What were the home remedies 60 traditions or myth your family
• 1:12:11
  used when you were growing up? Dropped in the comments because
• 1:12:14
  every household had that one cure that somehow fixed
• 1:12:16
  everything. So mine mine 7UP like some
• 1:12:25
  people say Sprite something like you, you say ginger ale.
• 1:12:28
  So I'm like huh? So every time someone got sick I
• 1:12:31
  was like we have 7UP. You want some like I was.
• 1:12:35
  I always had 7UP7UP. See, for me it was either for
• 1:12:39
  Yeah. Yeah, no ramen noodles.
• 1:12:44
  But we didn't call it ramen noodles.
• 1:12:46
  My sisters called it Sopita Crapita.
• 1:12:49
  OK. Fast soup.
• 1:12:51
  Fast soup, Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:12:53
  So I'm like, you know, hey, I'm just saying you want some Sapita
• 1:13:00
  garapita? I was like, what?
• 1:13:02
  Yeah, sure, whatever. So like they put we've always
• 1:13:05
  had ramen noodles with chicken meat, all that stuff, shrimp and
• 1:13:09
  all that. We all there just in case and
• 1:13:12
  the noodles would like help. Yeah.
• 1:13:15
  Some salt there, some daquin, daquin, menudo.
• 1:13:24
  That would always help if you if you had a hangover, of course
• 1:13:28
  that would always help. What else?
• 1:13:33
  There was there was some other one.
• 1:13:37
  Crackers. Saltine.
• 1:13:40
  Yeah. Humidifier.
• 1:13:44
  Oh yeah, yeah. Like, now, at the time, we
• 1:13:49
  didn't have, we didn't have those kind of big things.
• 1:13:52
  Vapor rub instead, like, yeah, like, leave it there.
• 1:13:56
  Put it on your chest, put it on your nose, on your temple, put
• 1:14:00
  it everywhere under your stuff, on the back.
• 1:14:03
  You're covered in vapor rub. And then the next day, oh, you
• 1:14:08
  stink. Yeah.
• 1:14:09
  You do. You smell like menthol.
• 1:14:13
  Yeah, and my mom be like, like what?
• 1:14:22
  Like oh, vapor up like, yeah, vapor room.
• 1:14:26
  Yeah, that's fine. Let's do a deep upload.
• 1:14:30
  Someone said it's not on here, but someone has said you said
• 1:14:36
  cream grandma. Someone has said of course
• 1:14:39
  they're going to put in. The price is right on there.
• 1:14:45
  Yeah. Someone had put that like, you
• 1:14:47
  know, they named off a lot of a lot of the the stuff like 7UP
• 1:14:50
  and all that stuff. And then they said the price is
• 1:14:52
  right. Yeah.
• 1:14:53
  That would always feel good after that.
• 1:14:55
  Yeah. So I love that.
• 1:15:06
  So curious, what else? That's it.
• 1:15:09
  I think that's it. And then finally, the final
• 1:15:16
  question, how did we survive our childhood?
• 1:15:19
  If you grew up in the 90s or early thousands, you'd probably
• 1:15:21
  have at least one childhood memory that makes you look back
• 1:15:23
  and wonder, how did we survive that?
• 1:15:25
  From backyard wrestling moves like elbow dropped off the couch
• 1:15:28
  to how made skateboard ramps to homemade skateboard ramps made
• 1:15:33
  out of wood ports and bricks, to bike crashes and wild stunts
• 1:15:36
  with friends, our generation pushed the limit without
• 1:15:39
  helmets, safety pads or supervision.
• 1:15:42
  This TikTok conversation is about those epic childhood
• 1:15:44
  fails, heart crashes and like chaotic moments that somehow
• 1:15:48
  became legendary stories later in life.
• 1:15:50
  Share your wildest childhood stunt, wipeout or near disaster
• 1:15:53
  moment in the comments. Let's see who has the craziest.
• 1:15:55
  I can't believe I survived that story.
• 1:16:01
  Yeah, there was a lot of ones. Here and maybe.
• 1:16:04
  We'll like save some of these for next week if they continue
• 1:16:08
  posting more because I have that.
• 1:16:11
  The one that's getting a lot of traction, T said.
• 1:16:14
  I don't know, But you know what, it was a lot of fun.
• 1:16:17
  All of my friends and myself, we all survived it.
• 1:16:19
  We got educated and we drive in our adult life.
• 1:16:21
  We paid our bills at Children Land for retirement, which we
• 1:16:24
  are now enjoying. Yeah, I said.
• 1:16:33
  You know, jumping off the swings.
• 1:16:36
  Yeah, you get as high as you can and you launch yourself, you
• 1:16:42
  know, out of the swing and see who could land the farthest.
• 1:16:48
  So I thought that was like, yeah, that was really dangerous.
• 1:16:53
  And our parents didn't say anything about it.
• 1:16:56
  And then the merry go round, you know, standing up with just the
• 1:17:02
  bar holding on and going as fast as you can around and around
• 1:17:07
  around. So I was like, that was and then
• 1:17:12
  going down the slide because it was a metal slide.
• 1:17:16
  I'm like I'm surprised we all have skin and and not a lot of.
• 1:17:21
  Snuggles. Because we burned our skin.
• 1:17:27
  Oh my. God, wow.
• 1:17:32
  I was like, yeah. That is.
• 1:17:37
  Wow. Yeah, ma'am.
• 1:17:42
  Here we go. James says the most dangerous I
• 1:17:44
  did must be the sledging right next to the road or on the road
• 1:17:48
  and taking all kinds of roller coasters.
• 1:17:50
  Besides that, I was such a pretty girl, to be honest.
• 1:17:52
  She said that. That's what she said.
• 1:17:54
  Yeah. For 15 years and up.
• 1:17:56
  On the other hand, Liana says he's here.
• 1:18:01
  The memories unlocked with this one.
• 1:18:03
  We used to jump off Cliff into the river.
• 1:18:05
  Me being scared of heights made it even better.
• 1:18:07
  Being drove around a tube in a snow for a four Wheeler where
• 1:18:11
  there was the trees right in the back of a truck going 68 didn't
• 1:18:16
  matter. We didn't have seatbelts.
• 1:18:17
  I swear to water here. Hose the fountain of youth
• 1:18:19
  because those 80s babies look about 10 years younger than we
• 1:18:22
  actually are. Go play outside and drink some
• 1:18:24
  from the hose kids. You'll seek me later.
• 1:18:26
  Oh, you know what another one was?
• 1:18:28
  I thought I, I just thought of just now when she, when you read
• 1:18:31
  Liana's we used to have behind our house, you know, a big like
• 1:18:37
  hill. So when it snowed, we would
• 1:18:42
  inner tube down that hill from all the way up top and come all
• 1:18:47
  the way down and stop literally right before the street, right
• 1:18:51
  before the street. I'm like how?
• 1:18:55
  I mean, that was so much fun, but that was dangerous.
• 1:19:03
  We're like Gee weed how do we survive that Natalie?
• 1:19:09
  Natalie says we were another breed LMAO.
• 1:19:12
  Yields universe says the amount of time me and my siblings
• 1:19:15
  jumped off a roof into a damn kiddie pool without breaking a
• 1:19:17
  bone in the late 80s. Mind boggling.
• 1:19:19
  Yet kids now break a finger for texting swag.
• 1:19:23
  Iron Master 69696917 says I could easily survive the 80s.
• 1:19:30
  My dad told me all about it and plus I'm fascinated with the
• 1:19:33
  past so I basically know a ton of shit.
• 1:19:35
  Shit ton of it. All right, go survive the 80s
• 1:19:38
  bullies. Reaganomics.
• 1:19:40
  Go survive it. See what happens to you.
• 1:19:45
  Let me know how it turns out. Draganushi says I don't know,
• 1:19:48
  but I could have been dead one more occasion and I can count on
• 1:19:51
  my fingers. Hey man, to that Sir.
• 1:19:54
  Miss Minerva thought we were invincible.
• 1:19:58
  We did. We did think that.
• 1:20:00
  Jin Jin said like a boss. That's how we survived it.
• 1:20:04
  Cobblestone 19 says I'm black, disabled.
• 1:20:07
  I wouldn't last a day. Like maybe 5.
• 1:20:13
  Damn, I'm sorry. Ed Trent says They wouldn't be
• 1:20:16
  able to survive what we did back in the day.
• 1:20:18
  They wouldn't even be able to handle drinking water out of a
• 1:20:20
  hose. I got to go back this one.
• 1:20:23
  RiRi XO 7 says I broke my chin at the ripe age of 6.
• 1:20:29
  Thanks. In that moment when she said,
• 1:20:33
  I'm sorry, re re when that moment when re said this core
• 1:20:38
  memory unlocked in my head and I remember, here's my story.
• 1:20:43
  OK, OK, I was around 8:00 or 9:10 at school and it was
• 1:20:53
  raining. It was recess coming back from
• 1:20:56
  recess. And I was like, you know, you
• 1:21:00
  remember the desk, how separate they wear and you could like go
• 1:21:05
  through the middle. Uh huh.
• 1:21:07
  Yeah. So instead I did like, you know,
• 1:21:10
  I grab, I put my both of my hands like this on the desk and
• 1:21:13
  swung. OK.
• 1:21:15
  It's like towards my area. I was like, right.
• 1:21:18
  Like this. So like, you know, I swung over
• 1:21:22
  to the next one and I swung again, but I didn't like it was
• 1:21:26
  like I swung. My shoes were wet.
• 1:21:29
  This little ground was slippery. The floor was slippery.
• 1:21:33
  So I slip. I face plant, I break my chin.
• 1:21:36
  Ouch. I knock out, I'm bleeding,
• 1:21:43
  bleeding on the floor, everybody's fucking freaking out
• 1:21:47
  and stuff because I've been told like, dude, are you OK?
• 1:21:51
  You're freaking out. You have the floor everything so
• 1:21:54
  and and you OK, So no, there's that.
• 1:21:59
  OK. At the doctor's office.
• 1:22:01
  I didn't. I just knocked out.
• 1:22:04
  Wow. I think I know.
• 1:22:05
  Like, I must have done something throughout the entire time.
• 1:22:09
  Yeah, but no, Mom takes me to the doctor's office, and
• 1:22:13
  they're, like, stitching me up. OK, 12 stitches on my pin.
• 1:22:19
  And thus the reason I don't shave the beard.
• 1:22:22
  OK, still the scar. Is it like, like right your
• 1:22:28
  whole chin? Oh wow.
• 1:22:30
  My whole yeah there. OK.
• 1:22:34
  And every time I like ate something, I could feel it right
• 1:22:38
  there, like right there. So it was time.
• 1:22:42
  And then like when they did the stitches and everything and then
• 1:22:46
  like once they cut it, it's like, you're good.
• 1:22:47
  Alright, thank you. And I'm just like the entire
• 1:22:49
  time. Obviously I have all the scars.
• 1:22:56
  I'm rocking the world to say that I survived it.
• 1:22:59
  There's one right there. OK.
• 1:23:02
  Where I'm throwing rocks at a kid and they're throwing rocks
• 1:23:05
  at me. You know, they're throwing a
• 1:23:07
  rock, but it's like little tiny pebbles.
• 1:23:09
  And I was like, alright, cool. So it was like we didn't think
• 1:23:12
  much of it. We just throwing rocks at each
• 1:23:14
  other. We were kids.
• 1:23:16
  We weren't, we didn't think how dangerous the situation was.
• 1:23:18
  We just thought like, we're not going to hit each other by the
• 1:23:21
  time we're going to throw it right about their their feet.
• 1:23:26
  So he throws it at it. He throws it, he launches it
• 1:23:30
  hits me in the eye and I'm just like, I get up and I'm like
• 1:23:35
  looking around. I was like, and I look over at
• 1:23:38
  him and I'm like, you OK? I'm like, yeah, OK.
• 1:23:45
  Like I'm he's going home. I'm going home too.
• 1:23:47
  I was like, alright, so I leave, go home and I'm just walking
• 1:23:50
  around. And then I try again and feel
• 1:23:51
  something. Oh, shit, I'm bleeding and I'm
• 1:23:57
  like, what the fuck? And then I was like, I, you
• 1:23:58
  know, I covered it like this and I was just like, the entire time
• 1:24:01
  I just covering like I didn't go to the hospital or anything.
• 1:24:03
  I was just like that the entire time.
• 1:24:06
  My mom comes home, she's like, you OK.
• 1:24:08
  I was like, yeah, what happened? I was like, I don't remember.
• 1:24:12
  So I had a fucking big ass Pebble.
• 1:24:13
  Just throw it out of my fucking face.
• 1:24:15
  Wow, left us right there. Throughout that time, years
• 1:24:20
  later, I watched Scarface and I'm just like, hell yeah.
• 1:24:23
  Like, yes, I love it. Let's do that.
• 1:24:27
  I'm Scarface now. Yeah.
• 1:24:30
  This movie's me. So yeah, that was one of them
• 1:24:42
  situations where, you know, we did backyard wrestling again.
• 1:24:46
  How did we survive this? How did we survive this?
• 1:24:48
  I don't know. It just happened.
• 1:24:49
  Like that person said, we're a different breed.
• 1:24:54
  We're a different breed. We survived the 80s, we survived
• 1:24:57
  the 90s. I survived jump a moving school
• 1:25:01
  bus. Wow.
• 1:25:06
  I. Was.
• 1:25:08
  Again, I was an an impressionable kid.
• 1:25:12
  I watch movies. I want to do what they do.
• 1:25:16
  So I'm just like, you know, oh, for acting movies, great.
• 1:25:20
  I saw this guy on the school bus and he the school bus drivers
• 1:25:26
  letting all the kids out. I was like 1 by 1 because he's
• 1:25:28
  going to different situations. This guy like is a stop at the
• 1:25:35
  bus stops. He jumps out, he leaves so the
• 1:25:38
  bus keeps going. I'm just like I'm a do something
• 1:25:40
  different. I'm a jump out while the school
• 1:25:42
  bus is moving and then roll lunch box in hand.
• 1:25:47
  Tuck and roll, huh? Tuck.
• 1:25:49
  And roll. That's what I thought.
• 1:25:50
  Tuck and roll. So like he driving and then he's
• 1:25:55
  about to stop and I just fucking go out.
• 1:25:57
  I like jump out and I talk and roll and I'm scraped all over.
• 1:26:02
  I got my my lunch box broken. He does the same thing.
• 1:26:06
  It's like, you know, he swerves as he saw me out.
• 1:26:11
  He gets out of the bus. He's like, you OK, My mom, I'm.
• 1:26:15
  Fine. Grandma comes out.
• 1:26:18
  This is Grandma's story. OK, this is Grandma's story.
• 1:26:21
  She comes out and she's fucking yelling at him.
• 1:26:26
  I bet he it's. Him.
• 1:26:28
  He jumped out. I jumped out.
• 1:26:30
  I did that. She looks at him like I'm sorry.
• 1:26:34
  Let me go talk to this guy. How dare you?
• 1:26:38
  How could you? You know, you grew with a heart
• 1:26:41
  attack. Your mom's over there.
• 1:26:43
  My mom's looking laughing the entire time.
• 1:26:48
  He's going to learn today. Why are you laughing Like no, he
• 1:26:52
  did that at home too. He does things at home too.
• 1:26:56
  I remember I'm the best. Your mom wasn't surprised.
• 1:26:59
  No, she's not surprised because I would do some crazy, stupid
• 1:27:03
  shit at home too. In California.
• 1:27:06
  She she, she knew as soon as I did, I was like, Oh my God, you
• 1:27:09
  know, you're embarrassing me in front of my mom.
• 1:27:11
  What are you doing? I was like, what she like, it
• 1:27:16
  was great. Around the time where I like
• 1:27:19
  jumped off the couch and onto the the resting buddy and I
• 1:27:23
  bring my ankle, my elk, and she's like, all right, let me
• 1:27:26
  take you to the hospital. She looks at me like you OK?
• 1:27:28
  Let me look at you. Let me look at you scrapes, you
• 1:27:32
  know, right here. It's fine.
• 1:27:34
  Let me put some bandage right there.
• 1:27:36
  How's your leg? Sore.
• 1:27:39
  You know, walk it off. That was us.
• 1:27:41
  That was our thing. Mom would be like, you're not
• 1:27:45
  dead. Go walk it off.
• 1:27:47
  You're good. That was how they raised us.
• 1:27:52
  So I can't believe I survived that.
• 1:27:54
  Go walk it off, ma'am. You had those back.
• 1:28:01
  What do you mean you're back? You.
• 1:28:05
  Missed this. Don't be like.
• 1:28:09
  Me. So you had to explain to us the
• 1:28:14
  onions on the bottom of your feet with socks on.
• 1:28:17
  What's that about? A long time ago, ma'am, it
• 1:28:36
  overheated. Her phone overheated.
• 1:28:38
  Oh, no. Oh.
• 1:28:40
  No. All right, so there's that
• 1:28:46
  story. I'm sure we're going to get like
• 1:28:48
  lots of them. So she's telling us that I
• 1:28:52
  sometimes open the show with Greg with top five, right, Just
• 1:28:57
  because. And we did say that we're going
• 1:29:02
  to do an episode where you and I talk and it's mostly, you know,
• 1:29:09
  like from a woman's perspective. So this is the top five for you,
• 1:29:14
  the top five stores that you would go to and went to the
• 1:29:19
  mall. OK, so I any time I went to the
• 1:29:26
  mall, I always hit up Claire's. Claire.
• 1:29:31
  'S I had to, you know, I always wanted to get another ear in
• 1:29:37
  another ear ear hole, another piercing in my ear.
• 1:29:40
  Never did. Still to this day, don't have a
• 1:29:42
  second one, but I always would go over there to Claire's always
• 1:29:48
  look for like the cheap earrings.
• 1:29:51
  I mean, they were not cheaply made, but they were, you know,
• 1:29:53
  cheap in price. So I'd get, I'd always want to
• 1:29:56
  get new earrings. I wasn't, I didn't really care
• 1:30:00
  too much about like they had like little hats and stuff like
• 1:30:04
  that. I just always, you know, went
• 1:30:05
  for the earrings find like a new, you know, like a ring or
• 1:30:11
  something, or you go find the best friend's necklace, you
• 1:30:19
  know, B fry and and street or street end or something.
• 1:30:25
  So always look for that. So Claire's and then the music
• 1:30:30
  store. So there was Sam Goody and I'm
• 1:30:34
  trying to think, I think the next one was called like disc
• 1:30:37
  jockey or something like that. I'll have to look it up.
• 1:30:43
  And FYE took over it. So of course it was.
• 1:30:49
  So once it was FYE, I'd go check them out, you know.
• 1:30:55
  And FYE was more, I don't know, it was more like, like
• 1:31:03
  figurines. And yeah.
• 1:31:06
  So not well, to me that's what it looked like because I would
• 1:31:10
  always see like like they would have like different like socks
• 1:31:14
  and, you know, care, you know, character like Funko Pops and
• 1:31:19
  stuff like that. So that's any time I went,
• 1:31:21
  that's all I ever saw. And then they would have the
• 1:31:24
  music like in the corner. So the music store, Claire's, I,
• 1:31:36
  I never like really went to like clothing stores, you know,
• 1:31:40
  'cause I didn't like like Abercrombie and Fitch or
• 1:31:44
  American Eagle. I wasn't into any of those
• 1:31:47
  stores. I'd go to Spencer's 'cause they
• 1:31:51
  had, they had good. Like I would get like a purse
• 1:31:56
  there or something that was like from my childhood, you know, get
• 1:32:00
  like a, you know, a character purse that's three.
• 1:32:06
  Then bed bath. No, no bath and body works
• 1:32:14
  because I'd always get like a Peach perfume or your body spray
• 1:32:20
  or Peach lotion because I loved the scent Peach or gardenia.
• 1:32:27
  Then as I got a little bit older, I would get, I'd go to
• 1:32:33
  Yankee Candle. So go find a new, you know,
• 1:32:38
  candle because I like candles. I, I mean, I still have a bunch
• 1:32:43
  of candles, so I don't burn them that much.
• 1:32:49
  But then, you know, because now I do more scent warmers because
• 1:32:53
  they're safer. Yeah.
• 1:32:56
  So you just, you know, put the wax in and in a warmer and then
• 1:33:01
  so Yankee Candle, Spencer's, Claire's Bath and Body Works.
• 1:33:08
  And then I'd go to it was called the Bon Marche.
• 1:33:16
  And I'd go looking like it was a, it was AI guess you could say
• 1:33:20
  like a local store. It was kind of like a high end
• 1:33:26
  store like Macy's, but it's called the Bon Marche.
• 1:33:29
  OK, but Macy's took it over. So it's still there now.
• 1:33:35
  But we would go over to the Bond because they used to have this
• 1:33:40
  big fountain that you could look at outside of the store.
• 1:33:46
  So it's like the store and then they had a fountain and then of
• 1:33:52
  course, like stairs around it. So you couldn't, you know,
• 1:33:55
  couldn't fall in. So those are, but to shop, I'd
• 1:34:01
  go to, we'd go to the Bond to look at their discount stuff.
• 1:34:05
  Upstairs was like their discount closet or we'd go to Mervyn's to
• 1:34:10
  get clothes. And Mervyn's was kind of like a
• 1:34:14
  sister store to Target. So they kind of had the same
• 1:34:20
  products, but I don't know, just we liked Mervyn's better than
• 1:34:24
  Target, you know? So those were my stores.
• 1:34:36
  OK so my store is where hot topic.
• 1:34:46
  OK. First store I would go to, yeah,
• 1:34:50
  there and I would get the wrestling shirts.
• 1:34:53
  OK. We'd always hurt from there,
• 1:34:55
  either Hardy Boys or stuff, you know, Hot Topic journeys for my
• 1:35:00
  shoes. OK.
• 1:35:02
  We always wear skater shoes. Oh I went to Payless so for
• 1:35:07
  shoes. They're my this mall because I
• 1:35:12
  will go for the mall from work, OK?
• 1:35:15
  It's right right across the street there.
• 1:35:17
  OK. I'd be like, I'm gonna go to the
• 1:35:20
  movies and there's a movie theater inside the mall.
• 1:35:23
  OK. The movie theaters like where I
• 1:35:28
  was something and hand up at KB Toys.
• 1:35:32
  OK. They sell video games as well.
• 1:35:36
  They have video games there and FYE.
• 1:35:40
  OK. Virgin Megastore was around like
• 1:35:43
  in at that mall, OK. And like it became FYE later on.
• 1:35:49
  OK. So FYE and Virgin Megastore are
• 1:35:52
  the same thing because it became FYE.
• 1:35:54
  OK. And I think the last one is like
• 1:36:03
  the food court, OK, The one because friends work there from
• 1:36:10
  high school. So it's like I passed.
• 1:36:11
  I was like, hey, what's going on?
• 1:36:13
  Yeah, sometimes they for some reason they saw I worked there
• 1:36:16
  too because I it's like I was a walking person, you know, I was
• 1:36:22
  like, I walked from the mall home.
• 1:36:25
  So I'd. Be like.
• 1:36:27
  Yeah, OK, go for it. OK, Rihanna.
• 1:36:40
  Well, hold on, Rihanna, While she's doing that, what was the
• 1:36:45

• 1:37:07

  Mom said that your toxins out so the sickness wouldn't last long.
• 1:37:25

• 1:37:29
  that's good. Hello.

  What the others? Oh so the the food court.
• 1:37:42

  What we always see is like like a pizza place.
• 1:39:13
  Yeah, OK. One place I used to love it was
• 1:39:18
  it wasn't in the mall, but it was just part of my childhood
• 1:39:23
  when we lived on base. When I was a teenager, we went
• 1:39:30
  to the PX and they had a Robin Hood sandwich, like sandwich
• 1:39:40
  place. And it was so good.
• 1:39:43
  I missed that place. But that was like a big, you
• 1:39:47
  know, part of my childhood. You know, you'd go, we'd get the
• 1:39:51
  Sherwood Forest. It was like ham and roast beef
• 1:39:55
  and cheese. So good, so good.
• 1:40:02
  Oh. Then let's see what else were we
• 1:40:08
  ate then. I don't know if it was big when
• 1:40:15
  you were, you know, if they had it there, they had a lot of like
• 1:40:18
  Asian like food in the food court.
• 1:40:25

  Something It wasn't. Yeah, I think it was Panda
• 1:40:29

  It was we had, it was, I think it was like Sakuru, Sakuru,
• 1:40:41

• 1:40:43
  And it was. And they would sit and, like
• 1:40:46
  give samples of their chicken teriyaki or their bourbon
• 1:40:52
  chicken. That was another one that was
• 1:40:55
  really good. Oh, I love bourbon chicken.
• 1:40:58
  Yeah. I don't think that was it for
• 1:41:03
  me. Yeah, OK.

  Probably another one would be. What were your Did you have

  posters on your wall? I did.
• 1:41:14
  What were they? So.
• 1:41:17
  What kind of do you have on your wall?
• 1:41:19
  I had an Alex Rodriguez poster. Who?
• 1:41:25
  Alex Rodriguez, the baseball player.
• 1:41:28
  OK, OK. So actually he was on my
• 1:41:33
  ceiling. So I'd wake up and there he was.
• 1:41:40
  And then I had another one on my on my white wall.
• 1:41:45
  So I had a couple of Alice Rodriguez posters, I had Disney
• 1:41:50
  Princess posters and a baseball Pennant and what else.
• 1:42:00
  And then I collected like the like the poster magazine.
• 1:42:05

• 1:42:12
  And I, you know, I wasn't into like I didn't do like Tiger
• 1:42:15
  Beat, but but I did. So I had, you know, right on.
• 1:42:22
  So I'd help hip hop posters on my wall.
• 1:42:25
  I think I had, let's see, I think it's Salt and Pepper.
• 1:42:27
  One time I had Aaliyah. I had 'cause I went to the
• 1:42:36

• 1:43:26
  Oh, yes. He was my favorite baseball
• 1:43:28

  So I actually did that. If you look at the, there's a
• 1:43:39
  trend of, you know, what did you look like in the 90s?
• 1:43:44
  You'll have to check that out because that's what I grew up
• 1:43:47
  looking at. So mine was obviously the big
• 1:43:57
  wrestling fan here, you know, like Pro Wrestling Illustrator
• 1:44:01
  would have at the time, Pro Wrestling Illustrator had
• 1:44:05
  posters inside, OK. Even the WWE magazines would
• 1:44:09
  have posters, I think. OK, Because how else were we
• 1:44:12

  trapper keepers? Yes, I had a Trapper Keeper.
• 1:47:43
  You know, I didn't put too much on it.
• 1:47:47
  Sometimes I would put like my favorite, like Lisa Frank
• 1:47:51
  stickers, but I always had just a plain like black 1.
• 1:47:58
  You know, I never got any of the ones that had like pic, you
• 1:48:05
  know, pictures on it. I just always, I don't know why
• 1:48:07
  I just always had a plain chopper keeper and then I'd put,
• 1:48:13
  you know, stickers on it. And then we always draw on our
• 1:48:19
  book covers because they were, you know, paper bags.
• 1:48:26
  But I always had to make sure I knew, you know, so you have to
• 1:48:28
  write on the outside what book it was.
• 1:48:32
  But then you know you. I have friends that would draw.
• 1:48:35
  So they would draw on my books. Yeah, on my book cover.
• 1:48:40
  My own generic my was just like, all right, we're at an hour and
• 1:48:52
  54 minutes. We did it almost to probably be
• 1:49:00
  an hour and 30 minutes, but we're fine.

  OK. You want to end this?
• 1:49:05
  Here we go. Yep, when you're ready, all.

  Right, and just like that, another late night hangout at my
• 1:49:12
  third place comes to a close. You know The funny thing about
• 1:49:15
  episodes like tonight is how one simple question can unlock an
• 1:49:18
  entire time capsule. One memory leads to another and
• 1:49:22
  before you know it you're back in the school hallway flipping
• 1:49:25
  through CD's at a music store or reminding you to set with a
• 1:49:27
  pencil because you really need to hear that song again.
• 1:49:30
  And then you forget all about the time and it's now a 2 hour
• 1:49:35
  episode podcast. Ask the magic mythology.
• 1:49:40
  It doesn't just remind you of what things were, it reminds you
• 1:49:43
  of who you were when they happened.
• 1:49:45
  And tonight, we covered a lot of ground from the scenes we love
• 1:49:49
  growing up that younger generations look at, like
• 1:49:52
  ancient technology, to those moments where we look back now
• 1:49:56
  and say, yeah, we had absolutely no business doing that.
• 1:50:01
  And so somehow we survived it all.
• 1:50:03
  We even took a trip through the mall, mall stories and how where
• 1:50:11
  we went, how that felt. Yeah, look for flights here at
• 1:50:20
  my third place. I'm never off for long because
• 1:50:22
  next week we're heading straight into spring break mode.
• 1:50:25
  And if you grew up in the 90s, you already know what that
• 1:50:27
  means. We're talking about the
• 1:50:28
  legendary MTV spring break specials, the ones that made
• 1:50:31
  Daytona Beach feel like the center of the universe for a few
• 1:50:33
  weeks every year. The concerts, the chaos, the
• 1:50:36
  game, the beach stages, all of it.
• 1:50:39
  We're diving back into the air. When MTV didn't just play music,
• 1:50:42
  it created cultural moments. While we're there, we're
• 1:50:44
  continuing our video Games to movies journey with a review of
• 1:50:48
  Mortal Kombat. We're going to do it tonight, so
• 1:50:52
  we're going to do it next week. And we're going because
• 1:50:56
  nostalgia just about moved in TV.
• 1:50:57
  It's about the music that lived in the background of our lives.
• 1:51:00
  Because we're also looking back at the soundtrack.
• 1:51:04
  Mortal Kombat. And while we're at it, last
• 1:51:09
  month marked the year anniversary of All Eyes on Me.
• 1:51:14
  We're revisiting the album, taking talking about what it
• 1:51:16
  meant when it dropped in the mid 90s, and how those songs hit
• 1:51:19
  now, 3 decades later. Because some albums aren't just
• 1:51:23
  music, they're moments in time. Just like Usher, My Way, Make
• 1:51:32
  Wanna. And that's really what this show
• 1:51:37
  has always been about, capturing those moments, remembering them
• 1:51:41
  together and realizing that a lot of us were living the same
• 1:51:43
  stories the same time without even knowing it.
• 1:51:46
  Case in point, the chat when it first started, how everybody was
• 1:51:50
  talking at the same time, telling us everything that they
• 1:51:52
  loved at the time. That was freaking beautiful.
• 1:51:56
  I loved it. So if night unlocked a few
• 1:51:58
  memories for you, bring those stories with you next week.
• 1:52:01
  Pull up a chair, tell somebody about the show, come hang out
• 1:52:05
  with us again here in my third place.
• 1:52:06
  Not home, not work, just a familiar spot in between where
• 1:52:10
  the conversations are easy, the nostalgia runs deep, and the
• 1:52:12
  porch lights always on. Jane finally shows up.
• 1:52:18
  Oh, hi, Jane. Before we really go, take a
• 1:52:24
  breath with me. Whatever today handed you,
• 1:52:27
  stress, noise, wins, losses. You don't have to carry all of
• 1:52:31
  it into tomorrow. Thank you for spending this time
• 1:52:34
  here in my third place. Not home, not work, just space
• 1:52:37
  where we show up as ourselves, tell stories, share memories,
• 1:52:40
  and leave the porch light on for whoever needs a place to sit for
• 1:52:43
  a while. She says hi menace.
• 1:52:46
  Take care of each other, take care of yourself.
• 1:52:48
  This is the empty podcast where community, creativity, and
• 1:52:51
  nostalgia always have a seat on the front porch or in the ring.
• 1:52:57
  She's a resting listening so I might as well talk about and
• 1:53:04
  we'll see you next time. OK.
• 1:53:06
  Menace. Menace, yes, Yeah.
• 1:53:16
  Appreciate you being here all the time, hanging out with us as
• 1:53:18
  well. You're our ring girl.
• 1:53:21
  You're the you're the wrestling. But at the same time, I wanted
• 1:53:27
  to get a perspective out of you as well, not just wrestling.
• 1:53:32
  So like people, if you was just the wrestling girl.
• 1:53:35
  No, like, I want you to think of you as the other.
• 1:53:39
  Like the other. Yeah.
• 1:53:41
  Earlier today we had Jesse in here.
• 1:53:44
  She's still talking about her podcast.
• 1:53:50
  As soon as she heard you talk, she said in a chat.
• 1:53:54
  I can't wait to have her on. Me.
• 1:53:58
  So yeah, you're now because Co host of a podcast.
• 1:54:03
  So like people want you on their podcast now.
• 1:54:06
  So that's what she said. I don't know.
• 1:54:07
  So we'll like we'll have to talk about that later on.
• 1:54:10
  OK. You're I thought you were to me
• 1:54:16
  and it's not the first time someone has told you that.
• 1:54:18
  I thought you were closer to someone else.
• 1:54:19
  I don't know. You know, I just heard that the
• 1:54:23
  other day. Oh.
• 1:54:27
  Oh, really? Yes.
• 1:54:30
  Hoodie, the guy, the one that was upset that I've never seen
• 1:54:36
  Lord of the Rings. He, you know, he, he was live,
• 1:54:43
  so I was. Like, oh, you know, let me just.
• 1:54:44
  Say hi. So he's talking and I was like,
• 1:54:49
  OK, I just, you know, I said, I said I saw you were live so I
• 1:54:52
  thought I'd drop by and say hi. He goes, Oh, well, I'm not
• 1:54:56
  handsome like Evo to keep you, you know, 'cause you know, I'm
• 1:55:00
  like, all I said was I saw you live and wanted to drop in like,
• 1:55:10
  OK, so he's like, so I mean, if you want to stay, you can, but
• 1:55:16
  you know. Like, OK, so who do you think
• 1:55:24
  I'm handsome, huh? I guess so.
• 1:55:27
  Well, you know he has this new new haircut, no?
• 1:55:29
  No, no, it's not that. It's just the fact that, like,
• 1:55:33
  why do people assume that other people belong to other people?
• 1:55:36
  No. Like, I think it's just because
• 1:55:40
  I'm always in your life. So people just assume that I
• 1:55:47
  don't go anywhere else. So.
• 1:55:51
  So I'm like, OK, no, I mean. They're all allowed to go other
• 1:55:56
  lives. I'm not not even allow anything.
• 1:55:59
  It's just like you're all free to go anywhere.
• 1:56:01
  You just chose to be here with me in the community.
• 1:56:04
  That's the thing. Even in on Tumblr when we were
• 1:56:09
  having all that fun out there like 2023, you know, back when I
• 1:56:14
  was disappeared from TikTok for 18 months and you know my best
• 1:56:19
  life on. But that was a different story.
• 1:56:25
  I tried, you know, I went into other people's lives and they
• 1:56:29
  got a little weird. So I'm like, I think I'm going
• 1:56:35
  to just stay where I want to stay.
• 1:56:39
  Yeah, you know, but then again, I also found out that people
• 1:56:44
  think the same thing. Oh, I thought you were Evo's
• 1:56:48
  friend. Yeah.
• 1:56:50
  So, I mean, I'm not. I mean, I can go where I want,
• 1:56:54
  but, you know, Yeah, I guess you allowed me to go to, you know,
• 1:56:59
  other people's lives that, you know, now they want to stalk me.
• 1:57:03
  No, I'm just kidding. Never.
• 1:57:08
  Or they were obsessed. I don't know.
• 1:57:10
  So. So the whole thing with Tumblr,
• 1:57:12
  with everybody's like trying to figure out why we talk about all
• 1:57:16
  the time. The whole thing with Tumblr is
• 1:57:17
  that people have their clicks there.
• 1:57:21
  So if you were your own streaming live there, there was
• 1:57:27
  no way to see what kind of person you were because you
• 1:57:31
  didn't have videos like Tiktok, you had blogs.
• 1:57:34
  But the same time, if you were new and you only came in for the
• 1:57:37
  live itself, you just had a Tumblr page.
• 1:57:40
  So you should be live and you have people from your other
• 1:57:44
  wherever you were at at one point and that you were
• 1:57:48
  streaming like Kik or some other place.
• 1:57:52
  And you'd come over here and be like, alright, I'm a see what
• 1:57:55
  happens here. And you bring in other people
• 1:57:57
  and be like, Hey, you know, you're, you're exclusive to me
• 1:58:00
  on, you know, blah blah. So you that person would only
• 1:58:05
  stay there with them and just support them and give them
• 1:58:08
  freaking coins and all kinds of stuff, you know, GIF TS sure,
• 1:58:15
  those like coins and that person would be there.
• 1:58:18
  It's like, I've seen a lot of people.
• 1:58:20
  They would never go to other live.
• 1:58:22
  If I see them, they'd show up and then leave.
• 1:58:24
  Yeah. And I'm just like, damn, you
• 1:58:27
  know, I'm like, OK. Or if they like somebody, they
• 1:58:30
  talk to them for a little bit and then somebody else be in
• 1:58:32
  there and like they the enemy OP, whatever they used to call
• 1:58:38
  it. So that person be like,
• 1:58:40
  whatever, I got to go. Yeah.
• 1:58:43
  That is some shady stuff. So when we did that, I said, let
• 1:58:48
  me bring in somebody from my crew, you know?
• 1:58:52
  And it ended up being you and I brought you over there because I
• 1:58:56
  didn't know what you were doing at the time.
• 1:58:57
  I was like, come on over, I'll do the podcast here and you can
• 1:59:02
  hang out with me. And we hung out and we did all
• 1:59:05
  that stuff. And then other people started
• 1:59:06
  coming in. Becca started coming in.
• 1:59:09
  Yeah, when she started and she's like, hey, bestie.
• 1:59:11
  I'm like, who's she? I'm like, she don't know you, I
• 1:59:16
  don't know you. And you're like, yeah, I just
• 1:59:19
  met her and I'm like, and already you're her bestie.
• 1:59:23
  Yeah. OK.
• 1:59:24
  No. Thank.
• 1:59:27
  You for posting this? Then there were like, I don't
• 1:59:31
  know what's her name, what we did with the the music, the
• 1:59:35
  music episode Babble. Babble V.
• 1:59:40
  Sorry, Babble V Yeah, Babble V started coming in and then Becca
• 1:59:45
  started. It was like you and Becca and
• 1:59:46
  then a bunch of other people and then we get Lily and then we got
• 1:59:55
  other people, you know, and that's when we that whole thing
• 1:59:57
  became a community. You, Lily, Becca.
• 2:00:02
  And it's like, all right, so cool.
• 2:00:05
  We ended up having fun out there for the better.
• 2:00:09
  And that's where the whole thing came from.
• 2:00:11
  Like, why are you over here in my life?
• 2:00:13
  Aren't you supposed to be in his life like?
• 2:00:15
  Yeah, I know. And do whatever you want.
• 2:00:18
  What are you doing? Just because you heard this from
• 2:00:20
  other people that you know they're exclusive.
• 2:00:22
  There's nobody's exclusive to. Me well, see, that's the thing.
• 2:00:25
  I I never heard that that there were people that were just
• 2:00:30
  exclusive. I just was like, you know what I
• 2:00:33
  just want to see what other people do, you know, and I I met
• 2:00:40
  them through you, you know, they'd come to your life.
• 2:00:43
  So I'm like, oh, I know that person.
• 2:00:45
  I mean, I still do that. You know, if somebody like, I
• 2:00:50
  went into for just a little bit Larry Berry's live, you know?
• 2:00:56
  Yeah. And I'm like, oh, that's nice.
• 2:01:00
  You know, I stayed just for a little bit because I had to go.
• 2:01:03
  But I was like, OK, I went into hers.
• 2:01:04
  I went into, you know, another person's live, you know, I went
• 2:01:07
  into Lady Stardust live, you know.
• 2:01:11
  So it's like I've, I've gone into like people's lives that
• 2:01:17
  I'm familiar with. I may not know them like a like
• 2:01:21
  a lot, but I'm like, oh, you know, I'll just go and say hi.
• 2:01:25
  And so the fact that hoodie said that I was like, OK, well, I
• 2:01:33
  guess I'll go, I'll leave. But you know, I'm like, look,
• 2:01:40
  like I, I wanted to be offended, but I was like, you know, he's
• 2:01:50
  my friend. I mean, he's he's one of my best
• 2:01:52
  friends. What, you know, of course I'm
• 2:01:54
  going to be in his life like all day.
• 2:01:59
  You know, Justin Binney. I mean, sometimes I have to go,
• 2:02:02
  but you know, so it's like I usually stay.
• 2:02:09
  You have to be like, he's my mod, I'm his mod.
• 2:02:11
  Yeah, you're good. Yeah, says apparently I go into
• 2:02:16
  life while I'm sleeping. What?
• 2:02:20
  That's crazy, James, thank you for liking a lot.
• 2:02:26
  So yeah. OK, hold on.
• 2:02:28
  Let me drink water. Does the after show like?
• 2:02:31
  Yeah. OK, so so that's basically a
• 2:02:42
  step. So I'm going to do something
• 2:02:45
  different around it. I'm guessing you don't remember
• 2:02:48
  the story? No, I do, just like I saw you.
• 2:02:51
  Are you still doing that though? Because I I did that too.
• 2:02:57
  Damn. What was that?
• 2:03:01
  OK then. Yeah, then.
• 2:03:02
  All right. When Leanna went to the live
• 2:03:06
  while she was sleeping. Oh.
• 2:03:08
  Sleepwalked live. Yeah, that's.
• 2:03:10
  What I know of Oh my God how do we went to another live while
• 2:03:14
  we're sleeping? We wouldn't.
• 2:03:18
  Like there's one time where I went into a live and but Tinker
• 2:03:23
  Bell was still around and I accidentally pressed the join
• 2:03:29
  the live button and requested to be on the scene.
• 2:03:33
  And then? Because I put my phone and I'm
• 2:03:40
  just like, I'm like looking down at Tinkerbells, like hey, like,
• 2:03:43
  all right, hey. And then somebody kept saying hi
• 2:03:46
  to me and I just like, I just kept saying hey.
• 2:03:48
  And I was just like, and then I looked at Tinkerbell.
• 2:03:51
  I was like, good girl. And then I was like, as I go
• 2:03:56
  inside, I have look at the I was just like, oh, shit, I think
• 2:04:00
  I'm, I'm alive. I'm in a slide and I'm just
• 2:04:04
  like, I take it off real quick. Oh my God.
• 2:04:09
  Oh. My God, I like you.
• 2:04:12
  Know no, I think I've only gone into kind.
• 2:04:14
  Of big kind. Of think I've gone into
• 2:04:18
  somebody's life once and I think it was because of it just, you
• 2:04:25
  know, automatically sent me to another life.
• 2:04:28
  Like you had ended. Like I had like, dozed right as
• 2:04:31
  you were ending and I went into another life, but I just was
• 2:04:37
  there. I wasn't like, in their box or
• 2:04:40
  anything. That would have been horrifying.
• 2:04:43
  Yeah. Go into somebody's box.
• 2:04:46
  I don't know. I just, yeah, that's why I
• 2:04:50
  started sending invites now, because as soon as my live ends
• 2:04:53
  and you're not, and if you don't come into fight, you
• 2:04:56
  automatically get sent to another live.
• 2:04:58
  Yeah. Leanna says I accidentally went.
• 2:05:01
  I'm sorry, Leanna, that live is forbidden to her.
• 2:05:07
  Oh, I did too, honestly, Like I did too.
• 2:05:11
  I backed out right away and I was just like laugh the entire
• 2:05:14
  time because I'm pretty sure people are going to be told that
• 2:05:18
  I went into that live and so I put it on my stories like, oops,
• 2:05:22
  my bad. It's like whatever.
• 2:05:27
  Been there, done that, Jane. Exactly, Jane.
• 2:05:29
  Been there done that, but it what ended up happening is just
• 2:05:34
  like I went back into that live and I told him I apologize and
• 2:05:38
  if somebody heard me say good girl, I was talking to my dog.
• 2:05:41
  Not to you guys. I apologize about that.
• 2:05:44
  And somebody said like, I don't know who it was, but it says
• 2:05:47
  like, oh, I thought you were talking to me.
• 2:05:48
  I was like, go away, please stop.
• 2:05:52
  No. OK.
• 2:05:56
  OK. The world that's not revised.
• 2:06:03
  I was talking to my Tinkerbell, my good girl.
• 2:06:06
  No ma'am, exactly no ma'am. Anyway, so yes, those are our
• 2:06:13
  stories. I I got this whole episode going
• 2:06:17
  to be based around with perfective.
• 2:06:19
  Stuff, so yeah. And.
• 2:06:20
  If you guys like this more, more will be coming.
• 2:06:24
  So, yeah, all right. OK.
• 2:06:27
  You ready to go? Let's get out of here.
• 2:06:29
  You were stopping in. Thank you for coming in the last
• 2:06:31
  minute. You don't.
• 2:06:34
  I love that you don't complain about it like you're not making
• 2:06:37
  a big deal out of it. Like someone else would have
• 2:06:41
  done it. Yeah.
• 2:06:48
  You know me, so you know that. Love it.
• 2:06:51
  I I'm willing to jump in here, you know, to help you, you know,
• 2:06:58
  because I know you could have did it by yourself, but it's
• 2:07:02
  kind of awkward to you know, especially if it's telling
• 2:07:06
  stories where it's supposed to be interactive, you know, and
• 2:07:10
  yeah, you could, you know, the chat could be, you know, your Co
• 2:07:14
  host, but it's just, I mean, even once, like when you post
• 2:07:19
  this, we're just going to hear you, you know, we would have
• 2:07:22
  just only been hearing you tell, you know, recounting, you know,
• 2:07:27
  other people's stories. So it's just nice to, you know,
• 2:07:33
  be of course, part of the community.
• 2:07:35
  So in this universe of ours, so. Hopefully more people will show
• 2:07:43
  up later and because it's like all the answers that I'm getting
• 2:07:48
  are pretty fun and I'm going to ask that question as well.
• 2:07:53
  What were your favorite mall stories?
• 2:07:57
  Malls, Yeah. OK.
• 2:08:03
  Thank you, honey. Appreciate you stopping in of
• 2:08:06
  course. And.
• 2:08:08
  The night Enjoy the rest of your night and appreciate it.
• 2:08:12
  I'm going to drink some more water.
• 2:08:14
  Yep. And.
• 2:08:16
  I'll see you tomorrow. I'll see you later.
• 2:08:17
  Have a great night everybody. Enjoy.
• 2:08:19
  Bye. See you later.
• 2:08:21
  Say bye to everybody. Bye everybody.
