SPEAKER_00: We're in the heart of wedding season.
0:13
SPEAKER_00: You've already uh got a few under your belt in the last few weeks.
0:17
SPEAKER_02: And then we have two local ones, which will be fun.
0:21
SPEAKER_02: One at the History Center at my old stomping grounds.
0:24
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
0:24
SPEAKER_02: By the time that this episode comes out, it'll probably have already happened.
0:28
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
0:28
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think so.
0:29
SPEAKER_02: That and one down at Seven Springs.
0:31
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, down that way.
0:32
SPEAKER_00: You have a couple others that are local that are pretty cool places.
0:35
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
0:35
SPEAKER_02: And like if people don't know this about me, I take weddings anywhere in America.
0:40
SPEAKER_02: I don't travel outside of America right now, just like in Yeah, you gotta get that passport rendered.
0:44
SPEAKER_00: That's the main reason.
0:46
SPEAKER_02: Um but it is really cool.
0:48
SPEAKER_02: I love being local because like I think Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas have great venues, and it's nice and convenient that I can come home to the kids at the end of the night.
0:56
SPEAKER_02: Um, but I also do love doing the travel ones because it is cool to see a whole nother city, a whole nother culture, and it keeps me on my toes when you like go to other locations.
1:05
SPEAKER_02: But it will be fun to be like in a familiar place with a lot of familiar faces, and my couple's really amazing.
1:11
SPEAKER_02: So I'm excited for that.
1:12
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, going to other places is fun just because I get to do it if it's a team building event and it might be a place that I've never been to before, or it's a place that I have been to, and I know my little ins and outs of the city or area.
1:27
SPEAKER_00: Like I would do a lot in Atlanta, and I knew exactly what I wanted where I wanted to stay, what I wanted to see, what I haven't seen that I gotta check out.
1:35
SPEAKER_00: Dallas was a pretty cool spot.
1:38
SPEAKER_00: But there's a couple places that I'm like, I hope I never do an event there again.
1:41
SPEAKER_02: Never have to go back there.
1:43
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, next year we have one in Philly and um potentially Tampa, potentially New York City, potentially Chicago.
1:51
SPEAKER_02: So, I mean, I don't know.
1:52
SPEAKER_02: I'm I'm in like consultation phases with some of these clients, but it is one of those things where it's cool to travel and experience these new places, and it is fun.
2:01
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:01
SPEAKER_00: We do have a wedding that we're attending either like this upcoming weekend or the following weekend in Chicago, but it's in the suburbs located in Indiana.
2:13
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
2:13
SPEAKER_00: So we'll get to visit your sister, visit a college friend.

2:34
SPEAKER_00: Like crazy, crazy.
2:36

2:41
SPEAKER_00: There is one that's coming from out of town that we don't see.
2:44
SPEAKER_00: We don't get to see as much in Phil resides in Philly.
2:47

2:50
SPEAKER_02: Shout out.
2:51
SPEAKER_02: Um, I also am excited because I like to go to weddings as a guest.
2:54

SPEAKER_02: It's always a treat though.
3:32
SPEAKER_02: Like I when I go to a wedding, I very much enjoy myself.
3:35
SPEAKER_02: I like to be on the dance floor, eat the food.
3:38
SPEAKER_00: Some people think that like you're there to assess what's you're not you don't have a care in the world when you're a guest.
3:44
SPEAKER_02: Sometimes they'll come up to me and they're like, Oh my gosh, are you wedding pro cast?
3:47
SPEAKER_02: I can't believe you're here.
3:48
SPEAKER_02: And I was like, Yeah.
3:50

3:52
SPEAKER_02: So do not stress over me being here.
3:55

4:17
SPEAKER_02: All right.
4:17
SPEAKER_02: I can't believe I am finally writing this story out.
4:20
SPEAKER_02: It is my go-to story at any bar with any new group of people.
4:23
SPEAKER_02: And honestly, if anyone just needs a good laugh because it is very funny.
4:27
SPEAKER_02: This is the story about how my Tinder date took me to a family wedding as our very first date.
4:32
SPEAKER_02: I matched with this guy, Kent, on Tinder, and we were messaging back and forth for a couple of days.
4:37
SPEAKER_02: We took the conversation off of Tinder and onto texts and eventually decided that meeting in person would be best.
4:43
SPEAKER_02: I was pretty excited.
4:44
SPEAKER_02: We both had sent some photos to each other and shared a lot about our lives on a superficial level.
4:49
SPEAKER_02: We talked about our jobs, hometown, hobbies, very basic stuff.
4:52
SPEAKER_02: He was very funny.
4:54
SPEAKER_02: I did my due diligence as a woman and I stalked him on all social medias to confirm that he wasn't a murderer or a weirdo, and was in fact the Kent who had been texting me.
5:03
SPEAKER_02: It all checked out and I was looking forward to meeting him.
5:06
SPEAKER_02: We had originally scheduled a coffee date.
5:09
SPEAKER_02: That's my go-to for a first meetup, but my car actually had a flat the day we were supposed to meet up, so I had to cancel on him.
5:16
SPEAKER_02: We kept chatting back and forth and eventually landed on a dinner date for the following Saturday.
5:20
SPEAKER_00: Right?
5:21
SPEAKER_00: We were I was post we started dating and then Tinder and this and Hinge and all the other apps came out.
5:29
SPEAKER_00: I never like had to deal with this.
5:32
SPEAKER_00: Dating apps.
5:33
SPEAKER_00: Dating apps.
5:34
SPEAKER_02: I do have to say I have a couple of couples that I've helped plan their wedding that met on dating apps.
5:39
SPEAKER_00: It's very common.
5:39
SPEAKER_00: So I'm that happens a lot.
5:41
SPEAKER_02: Especially, I feel like at our age, that's how people are meeting.
5:44
SPEAKER_02: They're not like meeting people at a restaurant or they're being introduced by friends.
5:48
SPEAKER_02: Like, oh, you should meet up with this person.
5:50
SPEAKER_02: Right.
5:50
SPEAKER_00: They're like linked or online dating app.
5:53
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
5:54
SPEAKER_02: All right.
5:55
SPEAKER_02: I usually like to share my date details with my friends.
5:58
SPEAKER_02: So when I asked Kent what we were doing for the date, he said it's a surprise.
6:03
SPEAKER_02: I asked him for some details for context so I could dress appropriately.
6:06
SPEAKER_02: And all he responded with was dress nice and expect some good food, some good drinks, and maybe some dancing if you're into something like that.
6:14
SPEAKER_02: I was pretty excited.
6:15
SPEAKER_02: I went out, I got a new outfit, new jeans, a dressy top, heels, and new jewelry for the occasion.
6:20
SPEAKER_02: He picked me up on time and was dressed really nice.
6:24
SPEAKER_02: And in really nice, I mean he was wearing a suit nice.
6:27
SPEAKER_02: I asked him why he was dressed up so much, and he said that he just had a client thing at work and didn't have time to change between and coming to pick me up before the date, and figured it would be fine for the place that we're going.
6:39
SPEAKER_02: We got in the car and we started driving.
6:42
SPEAKER_02: I shared my location with my girlfriends and we took off.
6:45
SPEAKER_02: I wasn't paying any attention to the time because we were talking so much.
6:48
SPEAKER_02: The conversation was very easy.
6:49
SPEAKER_02: But literally, we had been driving for 50 minutes when he said, We only have about 20 more minutes until we get there.
6:56
SPEAKER_02: I thought, this place must be really good a good this place must be a really good restaurant to drive over an hour for.
7:01
SPEAKER_02: At this point, we're in the middle of nowhere in I'm talking Cornfieldville.
7:07
SPEAKER_02: We park in the parking lot and we walk towards a very big, beautiful building.
7:12
SPEAKER_02: I start noticing everyone in really nice dresses, and I comment, oh my goodness, there must be a wedding here.
7:17
SPEAKER_02: I love weddings.
7:17
SPEAKER_02: And he said, Oh, thank God, because that's where we're going.
7:21
SPEAKER_02: I thought he was joking.
7:23
SPEAKER_02: And I made some comment about being a wedding crasher for the very first time.
7:28
SPEAKER_02: And he responded that, oh no, we're not wedding crashers.
7:31
SPEAKER_02: We were invited.
7:32
SPEAKER_02: It's my cousin Sarah's wedding.
7:34
SPEAKER_02: I literally wanted to run and hide under a rock.
7:37
SPEAKER_02: I'm currently walking into a wedding wearing jeans and a white and pink top.
7:41
SPEAKER_02: This wedding looks like a very formal event.
7:43
SPEAKER_02: Everyone was dressed very nicely.
7:45
SPEAKER_02: I was so embarrassed.
7:47
SPEAKER_02: I told him that I did not want to go in.
7:48
SPEAKER_02: And he said, You can't.
7:50
SPEAKER_02: Everyone is just dying to meet you.
7:52
SPEAKER_02: Let me remind you, this was our first date.
7:55
SPEAKER_02: Has he been talking to his family about me?
7:57
SPEAKER_02: WTF.
7:59
SPEAKER_02: We walk in and are greeted by about 20 happy family members who already know my name.
8:04
SPEAKER_02: Oh, Kelsey, it's so great to meet you.
8:06
SPEAKER_02: Kent has been telling us all about you.
8:08
SPEAKER_02: We have been dying to meet you.
8:09
SPEAKER_02: I can't believe he finally brought you around.
8:11
SPEAKER_02: I was speechless to say the least.
8:14
SPEAKER_02: I'm surrounded by a bunch of strangers at a wedding of his family, no ride home in the middle of nowhere, and at some random person's wedding in a jeans outfit.
8:22
SPEAKER_02: I'm mortified.
8:23
SPEAKER_02: I tried calling and texting my friends, but there's barely any service and no Wi-Fi if you don't have the password.
8:29
SPEAKER_02: I could not find a worker to assist me there.
8:31
SPEAKER_02: We then have to go to our seats.
8:33
SPEAKER_02: We are sitting in the second row, and my date, Kent, he's an effing reader at the ceremony.
8:41
SPEAKER_02: He's trying to hold my hand during the ceremony when they're talking about love, and I'm getting the ick so bad.
8:48
SPEAKER_02: I wait until cocktail hour, and I finally escape him and head to the bathroom, and I run into the mother of the bride.
8:54
SPEAKER_02: And she says, Oh, you're the girl who caused such a ruckus in the seating chart.
8:59
SPEAKER_02: You had us redoing everything last week when Ked to when Kent told us you two were officially dating.
9:04
SPEAKER_02: He begged to have you here.
9:06
SPEAKER_02: Again, I'm mortified.
9:07
SPEAKER_02: This man brought me here and he wasn't even given a plus one.
9:10
SPEAKER_02: Are you kidding me?
9:11
SPEAKER_02: At this point, I'm trying to plan my escape, but I feel guilty because now this mother of the bride went out of her way to pay and arrange for me to be here.
9:20
SPEAKER_02: And apparently I'm the reason for them redoing the freaking seating chart.
9:24
SPEAKER_02: Oh my.
9:25
SPEAKER_02: I would normally drink heavily at an event like this, but I refused any beverage and I drink water only.
9:30
SPEAKER_02: I needed to be ready for my escape.
9:32
SPEAKER_02: I felt that even more when people at this table started asking me about my personal life.
9:37
SPEAKER_02: How much has this person been sharing with his family?
9:41
SPEAKER_02: One of his friends says, You are the mystery girl he's been hiding from us.
9:46
SPEAKER_02: This guy talks about you nonstop.
9:48
SPEAKER_02: I know with your job it's probably so hard to get off.
9:51
SPEAKER_02: I'm a nurse, so it's not really hard.
9:54
SPEAKER_02: I tried to play friendly, but wanted to be like, Are you kidding me?
9:57
SPEAKER_02: He promised me dinner, and somehow I'm in some fake relationship with this man at his cousin's wedding.
10:03
SPEAKER_02: I feel like I would have just left at this point.
10:06
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
10:06
SPEAKER_02: But well, she couldn't because she didn't have service.
10:08
SPEAKER_02: And she doesn't have a ride.
10:10
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
10:11
SPEAKER_02: Okay, well, we're coming to the end.
10:13
SPEAKER_02: So when it came time for dancing, I told him that I didn't feel well and I wanted to go home.
10:18
SPEAKER_02: He told me he was hoping I would extend my night and we could check into a local hotel after.
10:24
SPEAKER_02: Um, I think not.
10:25
SPEAKER_02: The next time he got up to go to the bar, I grabbed his car keys out of his pocket and told him I needed to grab gum from the car.
10:31
SPEAKER_02: But I got in the car and I drove myself home.
10:34
SPEAKER_02: He called the car.
10:35
SPEAKER_02: He called me asking where I was about 35 minutes later, and I told him.
10:39
SPEAKER_02: I then told him that if he called the cops on me, I would reveal the truth.
10:43
SPEAKER_02: I kind of felt bad for the guy.
10:44
SPEAKER_02: He really made up some relationship between the two of us and tried to front it to his family.
10:48
SPEAKER_02: I never did find out what he ended up telling him, but the next day his car was gone.
10:53
SPEAKER_02: I blocked him on everything, and I never went on another date with anyone from Tinder ever again.
10:57
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's mortifying.
10:59
SPEAKER_00: Like, yeah, can't do that.
11:00
SPEAKER_02: There's so many things in this story when I read it that made me laugh.
11:04
SPEAKER_02: Like she dressed up nice.
11:07
SPEAKER_02: Like, if someone tells you dress nice, like you probably wouldn't put on a formal dress, like what you would wear for a wedding.
11:13
SPEAKER_00: Like if he would have said wear a dress, that would be one thing.
11:17
SPEAKER_00: But just like dress nice, yeah.
11:19
SPEAKER_02: And then she's walking into this wedding and everybody knows who she is.
11:22
SPEAKER_02: Like, I feel like that guy maybe thought the night was gonna go a different way.
11:27
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
11:28
SPEAKER_00: Whatever conversations they were having one-on-one via text, via uh Tinder, whatever Tinder.
11:36
SPEAKER_00: Tinder is what it said.
11:37
SPEAKER_00: That it probably was good conversation, so we did think that it might be heading towards a relationship, a true one after a few dates, but right off the jump, taking her to a wedding.
11:50
SPEAKER_02: Not for me.
11:51
SPEAKER_00: If I would have known, like if uh the conversation at the wedding would throw me off, but if I knew if I was meeting someone that's saying the first date was a wedding, fun time if I knew.
12:04
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, like I feel like if somebody asked you and was like, hey, I have a plus one at a wedding, we've been vibing.
12:10
SPEAKER_02: Would you go on go with me?
12:12
SPEAKER_00: Also, why do you have a plus one and like was it are you replacing a former maybe?
12:18
SPEAKER_02: But let's just say that's the situation, and then you're like, Yeah, you know what?
12:21
SPEAKER_02: That would be a good time.
12:22
SPEAKER_02: You know, free food, free drinks, you're dancing.
12:25
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he could have handled it a lot better.
12:27
SPEAKER_00: Not a surprise.
12:29
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, a surprise that it's at a wedding.
12:31
SPEAKER_00: Didn't even tell her that maybe like it maybe is offensive to tell someone, hey, you should change out of your outfit, but I think it would be very uh important for her to know that wearing jeans to this wasn't the best idea.
12:44
SPEAKER_00: The outfit and him lying about what he he was wearing.
12:46
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, the outfit alone would have thrown me off.
12:49
SPEAKER_02: Like I would have not felt comfortable at that point.
12:51
SPEAKER_02: And then the other thing that I think would have like made me feel really weird is that everybody is there, like, oh, you're his girlfriend, like acting like they were dating.
13:01
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
13:02
SPEAKER_02: I mean, we didn't go through this really of like a talking dating stage.
13:05
SPEAKER_02: That's like more people nowadays do that.
13:08
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I mean, like we weren't like official, yeah.
13:11
SPEAKER_00: We like went out on a couple dates, we hung out.
13:13
SPEAKER_02: They didn't even hang out once.
13:14
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
13:15
SPEAKER_02: It was just like he she was his date to the wedding, but like they weren't dating.
13:20
SPEAKER_00: And had to go through the stress of them rearranging the seating chart for her.
13:25
SPEAKER_00: And she had no idea.
13:26
SPEAKER_00: No idea.
13:27
SPEAKER_02: She's just like thrown into it.
13:28
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's just you can't.
13:30
SPEAKER_02: It is pretty funny though.
13:32
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I did laugh when I read it.
13:34
SPEAKER_00: Again, if she just knew and comfortable going to something like that, great.
13:38
SPEAKER_00: I think that would have been a great date, the way that he handled it.
13:41
SPEAKER_02: Not great.
13:42
SPEAKER_00: Kent can't be doing that.
13:44
SPEAKER_02: I did change the name because I wasn't sure.
13:47
SPEAKER_02: And I picked Kent and I don't and I was just thinking of your grandma's old boyfriend.
13:52
SPEAKER_02: Jesus.
13:54
SPEAKER_02: I'm like, what's a name I don't use frequently, Kent?

14:36
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
14:37
SPEAKER_00: Number one, date someone who talks constantly or barely speaks.
14:45
SPEAKER_02: We're both yappers, so I would say like talk.
14:48
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
14:48
SPEAKER_00: Whenever you're quiet, I feel like why are you being quiet?
14:50
SPEAKER_00: Why are you being shy?
14:51
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
14:52
SPEAKER_00: Like if you weren't so we've discussed this a lot, but if you're quiet around me, then I feel like something might be up.
14:58
SPEAKER_00: Not saying you in particular, but just like anyone.
15:01
SPEAKER_00: But if you're quiet around people that I know on top of being quiet, like you might be social to me, but then you're quiet around like like family and friends.
15:10
SPEAKER_00: Like, do you really want this or is this uh nearing its end?
15:14
SPEAKER_02: I also feel like quiet can be unless maybe if both people are introverted, like quiet might be more normal.
15:22
SPEAKER_02: I'm I don't experience that because I'm a space filler.
15:26
SPEAKER_02: Like if it's quiet and nobody's talking, like I have no problem being like asking questions or like getting the conversation going.
15:33
SPEAKER_02: And if it's on a date, that can be like annoying if the other person's not like trying to get to know you or like I don't know.
15:39
SPEAKER_00: Like just short answers and blah blah blah.
15:41
SPEAKER_00: No, no reciprocation of questions.
15:44
SPEAKER_02: Right.
15:45
SPEAKER_00: Date someone with an insane mother or an insane best friend.
15:52
SPEAKER_02: I think it depends on like how insane, like what are we talking about?
15:57
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and I think it comes more of you marry the mother, so they're gonna be in your life for forever, where a best friend might change.
16:05
SPEAKER_00: A best friend might change.
16:06
SPEAKER_00: I think when it if it it's scenario based.
16:08
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
16:09
SPEAKER_00: You might be dating someone in college and the best friend is very insane and just like always up the other like this other person's arse.
16:20
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
16:21
SPEAKER_00: A mother insane, like if you're dating post-college, let's say, or like high school.
16:27
SPEAKER_00: Like if it's like you know, post being in school, dealing with an insane mother-in-law, I would not want to deal with.
16:35
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
16:36
SPEAKER_00: Like yeah, yeah, based on insanity too.
16:39
SPEAKER_02: I would probably I'm like, what kind of insane?
16:41
SPEAKER_02: Are they like jealous of you?
16:42
SPEAKER_02: Are they mean to you?
16:43
SPEAKER_02: Or is the friend like trying to convince your partner to do a bunch of crazy stuff that's gonna get him in trouble?
16:48
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
16:49
SPEAKER_00: Or like convince you to not be with them, be with other people.
16:52
SPEAKER_00: Like that could be how the best friend is.
16:55
SPEAKER_00: Like trying to.
16:55
SPEAKER_00: I feel like that's a difficult choice, but I would rather have the insane mother because I feel like if I'm in a relationship with somebody and their mother's insane, I would get over that.
17:08
SPEAKER_02: And you would learn how to hear that.
17:10
SPEAKER_00: I don't want to be the reason why their friendship ends.
17:13
SPEAKER_00: I don't know why that's like what I'm thinking on top of mind.
17:15
SPEAKER_02: I would go, I would pick the same thing.
17:18
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
17:18
SPEAKER_00: Good thing we don't have crazy moms.
17:20
SPEAKER_00: We do not.
17:22
SPEAKER_00: Shout out old Pammy D.
17:24
SPEAKER_00: Pammy B.
17:24
SPEAKER_02: And sis.
17:25
SPEAKER_00: I don't know why I said Pammy D.
17:27
SPEAKER_00: Because D is her middle name.
17:28
SPEAKER_00: Oh, Pammy D.
17:29
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
17:30
SPEAKER_00: I know.
17:31
SPEAKER_00: I was like, I do call her that all the time.
17:32
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
17:33
SPEAKER_00: Uh find out your date lied about their job or that they lied about their age.
17:39
unknown: Oh.
17:40
SPEAKER_00: It depends on age, because like if you're someone that's dating someone that's underage, I would be like, yeah, you can't be lying about that.
17:49
SPEAKER_00: No.
17:50
SPEAKER_02: If you're I think lying about a job, I'm like, that really wouldn't bother me.
17:54
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
17:55
SPEAKER_00: And even like you say you're one age, but you're really older or younger, and you're of age, like eventually I would find out that you're not actually 25, you're 29.
18:07
SPEAKER_02: I do think it's weird that people lie about their age because it's like you're gonna eventually meet their family and you're gonna learn what their real age is.
18:14
SPEAKER_02: So, like, what's the reason in lying?
18:16
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, lying about a job.
18:17
SPEAKER_00: I don't know if like what the reasoning would be.
18:19
SPEAKER_02: Remember when we rode that Uber drive, and the guy was like, I lied about my age on my dating profile.
18:25
SPEAKER_00: When was that?
18:26
SPEAKER_02: The really strange one.
18:27
SPEAKER_02: You know what ride I'm talking about.
18:29
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
18:30
SPEAKER_00: He was trying to like hang out with us.
18:32
SPEAKER_02: I felt I that was the most uncomfortable Uber ride of my life.
18:35
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
18:36
SPEAKER_02: I don't want to blast him, but like it was I didn't get out of the car faster.
18:41
SPEAKER_02: Yeah when we got to our house.
18:42
SPEAKER_00: We got in the car and he's giving us cookies that he pre-packaged himself, but he I it was the most it like I wouldn't call like a lot of people do weird stuff.
18:56
SPEAKER_00: What he did, like whatever his like whole mantra was, there's nobody weirder than that man.
19:03
SPEAKER_00: Nobody.
19:04
SPEAKER_02: I have to agree.
19:05
SPEAKER_02: And he like started pulling out that yoga bible.
19:07
SPEAKER_02: I'm like, I gotta get out of here.
19:09
SPEAKER_00: He invited us to some like yoga sessions, and like it's not real, it was he went on everything.
19:15
SPEAKER_00: He even started talking about mythical dragons.
19:17
SPEAKER_02: I was on like yoga psychosis, yeah.
19:19
SPEAKER_00: And he almost like didn't go off of our exit.
19:22
SPEAKER_00: We're like, you gotta turn here.
19:24
SPEAKER_02: I I should have reported him.
19:26
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
19:27
SPEAKER_00: Like, I wish we would have given a different address for our but like had him not drive us to our house.
19:32
SPEAKER_02: And then remember we got sick, like I think maybe we all got the flu or something, and you were like, Did you eat those cookies that me gave us?
19:38
SPEAKER_02: I'm like, no, I put them in the trash.
19:40
SPEAKER_00: Like, this was it was insane.
19:43
SPEAKER_02: That's what made me think about lying of the age, because I remember him telling us that when he met his wife, he lied about his age, and I was like, Oh, yeah, she's gonna find that out.
19:52
SPEAKER_00: It was lying about his age, and then they like he met her on a dating app and then they met up in person, and she was found out she was okay.
20:00
SPEAKER_02: I hope she's good.
20:02
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, goodness.
20:04
SPEAKER_00: Would you rather accidentally fart on a first date or choke on your food on a first date during dinner?
20:12
SPEAKER_02: I feel like choking on the food would be more traumatic and scary.
20:16
SPEAKER_00: They would learn about the person though.
20:18
SPEAKER_00: Oh, they got CPR certified.
20:21
SPEAKER_02: A fart though, can really ruin a mood.
20:23
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
20:24
SPEAKER_00: Like, oh, I'm sorry.
20:26
SPEAKER_00: There was but this is it wasn't a fart, but like doing something embarrassing on a first date that's like that.
20:32
SPEAKER_00: Actually, I kind of choked on something, but I was at a movies and I'm eating like a it was like some sort of not a gumball, but you know, like it wasn't like a knubstopper, it wasn't a nerd's cluster, but it was very similar.
20:47
SPEAKER_00: This is this is like 2009, 2010.
20:50
SPEAKER_00: But I went on a date with the girl and I like was chewing the food, but I leaned over and was like saying something about the movie or something, and it like got stuck in my back of my throat, and then I then it shot out, and it shot out right on her face, like it came spewing out on her face.
21:08
SPEAKER_00: Like was she just like I was like, I'm so sorry.
21:12
SPEAKER_00: Like the movie was only 10-20 minutes in.
21:15
SPEAKER_00: Like, well, I tried.
21:17
SPEAKER_00: I blew it, yeah.
21:18
SPEAKER_00: I blew it.
21:20
SPEAKER_00: So and that's why I'm here.
21:22
SPEAKER_00: So funny.
21:24
SPEAKER_00: Did not fart though.
21:25
SPEAKER_00: Would you rather spill your drink all over your date or trip walking into the restaurant?
21:31
SPEAKER_00: Trip.
21:32
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, trip.
21:32
SPEAKER_00: You can get past that.
21:33
SPEAKER_02: I'm like, I feel like spilling on someone's clothes, especially if it's like brand new.
21:38
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I just Nikes.
21:40
SPEAKER_02: I mean, I spill on myself.
21:41
SPEAKER_00: Like if someone else spills on me, I'm like, you know, if you just like trip over uh you know the rug that when you're walking in, that's one thing.
21:47
SPEAKER_00: But if you like tripped and you went flying like 10 steps forward, crashing into different things, like that would be a little embarrassing, though.
21:58
SPEAKER_00: Would you rather?
22:00
SPEAKER_00: Have your date show up wearing way too formal of an outfit or sweatpants and crocs.
22:07
SPEAKER_00: Depends on what the date is, but I feel like if it's a first date, you would prefer them to be more dressed.
22:13
SPEAKER_02: Or dressed up.
22:14
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
22:15
SPEAKER_00: Once like comfortability comes into play.
22:18
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, if someone's picking you up wearing sweatpants and crocs and going to a nice restaurant, I'd be like, what's happening here?
22:24
SPEAKER_00: Like, I'm not saying we went on a date in college and like, but if we went to go get food at our favorite Asian restaurant, Enlai Buffet.
22:31
SPEAKER_00: Enline.
22:32
SPEAKER_00: We're probably in sweatpants.
22:33
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we're in Crocs, like college college attire.
22:36
SPEAKER_00: But if you're going, like, hey, we're gonna go get dinner, maybe catch a movie.
22:40
SPEAKER_02: Like if an adult showed up in that outfit, like now at our age, you'd be like, no.
22:46
SPEAKER_00: I think it's sometimes on like general like you're not saying you have to dress up for everything, but coming to a any little like social social gathering and you're wearing sweatpants and crocs, like at least look a little nicer.
23:01
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
23:01
SPEAKER_02: Well, I like my casual clothes, but if we're going to a restaurant or out, I'm not sure.
23:06
SPEAKER_00: You're going out somewhere, someone's hosting a party, any of that.
23:09
SPEAKER_00: If you're just going to like a friend's house, parents' house, and you're just watching something, I think it's totally acceptable to wear whatever.
23:16
SPEAKER_00: Would you rather realize halfway through dinner that you have something in your teeth or that your fly has been down the entire time?
23:23
SPEAKER_02: Well, I would be more embarrassed about the food in the teeth.
23:28
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
23:29
SPEAKER_02: Especially like, even I'm somebody like if someone has something in their teeth, I'll be like, hey, you have something.
23:34
SPEAKER_02: Even when people tell me, I'm like, oh, that's embarrassing.
23:36
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
23:37
SPEAKER_02: I hate when I have food in my teeth.
23:38
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you have to let somebody know.
23:40
SPEAKER_00: And I don't think it should be embarrassing to let someone know, but it is embarrassing for that person.
23:44
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, oh, I how long has this been in here?
23:47
SPEAKER_00: How many people have I talked to?
23:48
SPEAKER_02: There's been times where I'll record TikTok videos and there's food in my teeth, and I go to post the videos and I'm like, well, I didn't know.
23:56
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, shenanies.
23:57
SPEAKER_00: It's like uh yeah, doing that, like having your fly down, it is embarrassing.
24:04
SPEAKER_00: I do it a lot.
24:04
SPEAKER_00: Like I'll for some odd reason, like I just forget to zipper up after I use the restroom.
24:09
SPEAKER_00: But and then I'll get the little Kenny Woods open.
24:11
SPEAKER_02: It's all it's also not bad though because you have underwear on.
24:14
SPEAKER_02: Like if you're someone that goes commando, then like, yeah, that that would be more embarrassing.
24:19
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and I felt like yeah, yeah.
24:21
SPEAKER_00: But we wear underwear, so it's like do I?
24:25
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
24:26
SPEAKER_02: Buck naked.
24:29
SPEAKER_00: I was mentioning that.
24:31
SPEAKER_00: This is not uh when I was with Stephen Shane last night, I was saying how like oh Slipper Rock's playing Minnesota Duluth tonight.
24:39
SPEAKER_00: And I was like, Luluth like the underpants.
24:42
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, yeah, I'm wearing them right now.
24:43
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, those Duluths.
24:44
SPEAKER_00: Like, I don't need to see that.
24:45
SPEAKER_00: I was like, what?
24:46
SPEAKER_00: It's buck naked.
24:47
SPEAKER_00: Or would you rather have a first date at a Chuck E.
24:50
SPEAKER_00: Cheese or at a funeral?
24:53
SPEAKER_00: Chuck E.
24:54
SPEAKER_00: Cheese would be fine, but like, why are we going there?
24:56
SPEAKER_00: DB is another option.
24:58
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, D B over Chuck E.
24:59
SPEAKER_02: Cheese for sure.
25:00
SPEAKER_02: And no, I do not want a first date at a funeral.
25:02
SPEAKER_02: I do, I don't even like going to funerals.
25:04
SPEAKER_02: So for people that I know, I don't want to go to a stranger's funeral.
25:08
SPEAKER_00: No, that's an easy answer there.
25:11
SPEAKER_02: Can you imagine like if someone did say, like, yeah, if you would like to come, did I say that to you for I was like, no, but I was there when someone died when I met your whole family.
25:23
SPEAKER_00: Would you rather date a massive mama's boy or someone whose mom absolutely hates you?
25:28
SPEAKER_02: A mama's boy.
25:29
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm not a massive mama's boy, but I am a mama's boy.
25:32
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you're a mama's boy.
25:33
SPEAKER_00: Not like big time, not like sucking on the tit mama's boy, but you're like a five out of ten.
25:38
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like some people, they're really big mama's boys, and like, wow, yeah, it's a little bit too aggressive.
25:43
SPEAKER_02: Tyson, I always thought would be a mama's boy, but lately he's just been dad's best friend.
25:47
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he's my best friend.
25:48
SPEAKER_02: You're my best, he's my best pal.
25:50
SPEAKER_00: So the secret uh um we've been sharing a secret, Tyson and I, that dinosaurs at the Pittsburgh Zoo are going away Labor Day, and he already is gone multiple times.
26:00
SPEAKER_00: But I did tell him that before it goes, because it seemed like you went for your last trip with him, and there's still some time.
26:07
SPEAKER_02: You could take him on on the day that I work that wedding.
26:09
SPEAKER_00: Well, I told him that I um that we're just gonna go.
26:13
SPEAKER_00: But we'll tell uh mommy and Benny that we're going to the grocery store.
26:18
SPEAKER_00: And he's like, Oh yeah, it's a good idea.
26:19
SPEAKER_02: So when are you doing it?
26:20
SPEAKER_02: So I can put it.
26:21
SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah, but just whenever we need more groceries.
26:24
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
26:26
SPEAKER_00: Would you rather date someone whose best friend hates you or whose entire family hates you?
26:31
SPEAKER_00: Oh I feel like the if a best friend hates uh someone in a relationship, there's gotta be some sort of jealousy about the situation.
26:42
SPEAKER_02: Or there's like a big red flag that they're like, no, they're not good.
26:46
SPEAKER_00: That but in turn, I feel like when a family doesn't like somebody, the red flag is the person in the that you're dating.
26:52
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
26:53
SPEAKER_00: The best friend might be the red flag.
26:55
SPEAKER_00: The family certainly is not the red flag if they all don't like the who you're dating.
27:00
SPEAKER_00: Agreed.
27:00
SPEAKER_00: Agreed.
27:01
SPEAKER_00: How about that?
27:03
SPEAKER_02: How about them, Apple?
27:04
SPEAKER_00: Last one, would you rather meet the entire family on date number one or attend their company Christmas party on date number one?
27:11
SPEAKER_02: Company Christmas party, I feel like.
27:14
SPEAKER_02: I feel like a company Christmas party is always fun.
27:16
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
27:16
SPEAKER_00: Like a date number one, similar to the story.
27:20
SPEAKER_00: A wedding is a big thing.
27:22
SPEAKER_02: Oh my god, my stomach is so hungry.
27:23
SPEAKER_02: Wow, that was wild.
27:24
SPEAKER_02: That was like maybe the microphone picked that up.
27:27
SPEAKER_00: I think it did.
27:28
SPEAKER_00: I like to see it on the bar when I edit it.
27:30
SPEAKER_00: It's gonna be like a but the like meeting family on date number one.
27:36
SPEAKER_00: You're already kind of not nervous going into a date, but you don't really know the person that well if you're going on your first date.
27:42
SPEAKER_00: And then on top of that, you're meeting family members.
27:45
SPEAKER_00: It's a lot.
27:45
SPEAKER_02: And I feel like some families can be like my family, I don't think is like this.
27:49
SPEAKER_02: Like, we're loud, but we're not like interrogating.
27:52
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, your family like interrogates people when they come in.
27:54
SPEAKER_02: Well, not everyone, certain family members, yeah.
27:57
SPEAKER_02: And that could be a lot for somebody that's like a it might turn them away and be like, yeah.
28:02
SPEAKER_00: A little bit too much.
28:03
SPEAKER_00: I don't want this.
28:03
SPEAKER_00: Like they have a yeah, they think too hard of like, you have to get my approval to be in this family type of thing.
28:09
SPEAKER_00: Like, no, you only have to get the person that you're interested in, and if they're fit, whatever.
28:16
SPEAKER_00: Correct.

29:48
SPEAKER_02: That age.
29:49
SPEAKER_00: That age range is always a good one to pick.
29:51

30:00

30:01
SPEAKER_00: My last year of like high school, but like just that whole the whole year and this then like the it ends right before I go to college.

30:20
SPEAKER_00: Like, I would get like we would get together every single day and either go swimming, go to a park, go to a movie, go do like we just did stuff nonstop that whole entire summer, and that's not including the school year.
30:32
SPEAKER_02: Like 17 or 18 that age, right?

30:53
SPEAKER_00: Like again, another time where there's not a care in the world.
30:55
SPEAKER_00: You don't know what's in front of you, you don't know how college is gonna go, but you're getting your last little moments with your friends that you grew up with.

31:06
SPEAKER_00: Like doing something as like a young kid, like whenever you just doing a moment when you had no care.

SPEAKER_00: All right, next question.
31:19
SPEAKER_00: Um, doing uh non-traditional work, what is something you love and something you hate, and how do you stay motivated?
31:30
SPEAKER_02: Something I love is that we have a lot more time with our kids.
31:36
SPEAKER_02: Like I feel like the flexibility and the stress of not having to worry about going into work every single day, or like if the babysitter cancels, like that aspect of it.
31:48
SPEAKER_02: You don't have to worry about that.
31:49
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and like I feel like I'm just so much more present with the kids.
31:53
SPEAKER_02: I see them so much, I do so much with them, which is like was part of the goal when I started working on this.
32:00
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
32:01
SPEAKER_02: Something you hate, something I hate.
32:05
SPEAKER_00: I would like if I'm working at home, is just when the kids are at home and you're trying to get work done and they're just loud.
32:13
SPEAKER_00: They're loud.
32:13
SPEAKER_00: You can't get anything done.
32:15
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
32:16
SPEAKER_00: God forbid you have like a conference call going on.
32:18
SPEAKER_02: I guess I would say my hate would be like that.
32:20
SPEAKER_02: We don't have a real home office.
32:22
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
32:23
SPEAKER_02: Like we have a sp we have spaces that you could do work, but they're not like soundproof.
32:27
SPEAKER_00: There's no separation.
32:28
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
32:29
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
32:30
SPEAKER_00: Like when I would work my travel job, we got a membership at a gym that was it was like a club.
32:37
SPEAKER_00: It was an athletic club that had a really nice gym, had a basketball court, had nice saunas, loved to have it.
32:42
SPEAKER_00: They even had like a child watch program, not a daycare.
32:46
SPEAKER_00: But the best part of it for me was I would go there and work in little office cubicles, or if I didn't have any calls or anything, I would just go to the little like cafe area and get my work done and then be able to go work out and get all the things that like I can focus on.
33:03
SPEAKER_00: If I had a big call that was an event, a virtual event, I would do it from home, but we only had one child at the time.
33:09
SPEAKER_00: Like so one of the rooms was the office room.
33:12
SPEAKER_00: Like we lost that whenever we had our second child, which then in turn turned our part of our downstairs to the office.
33:19
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
33:20
SPEAKER_00: It's like office or our own bedroom.
33:22
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
33:22
SPEAKER_02: I work in the bedroom most of the time.
33:23
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
33:24
SPEAKER_00: If I have to do stuff or film, like staying motivated.
33:27
SPEAKER_02: I think it's I think not reporting into work sometimes makes it harder to stay motivated because I'll let myself be like, uh, I don't know.
33:38
SPEAKER_02: Brush this to the side.
33:39
SPEAKER_02: But then I get waves of being very creative and very driven where I'm like, I want to finish this project.
33:45
SPEAKER_02: I want to do this, I want to do that.
33:47
SPEAKER_02: And I'll so it goes in waves for me of being very motivated and then a little bit too lax.
33:52
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
33:52
SPEAKER_00: You don't have somebody that's like not that's managing you.
33:56
SPEAKER_00: Right.
33:57
SPEAKER_00: You have to manage yourself.
33:58
SPEAKER_02: Like with the podcast, you keep me on because you'll be like, we need to get it finished so that we can review it and make sure we're good.
34:03
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, before we go into record or like you keep me on for that.
34:07
SPEAKER_02: But like on stuff on my own, it's like when it comes to content creation, it's sometimes it's hard to stay motivated.
34:14
SPEAKER_02: But then I think like, okay, I gotta keep going.
34:18
SPEAKER_02: It's not hard to do this one little task.
34:20
SPEAKER_02: I can get it done.
34:22
SPEAKER_00: Cool.
34:22
SPEAKER_00: All right.
34:23
SPEAKER_00: Wedding questions, two of them.
34:25
SPEAKER_00: Number one, what is advice that you would give to someone who just got engaged yesterday?
34:31
SPEAKER_00: Congratulations.
34:33
SPEAKER_02: Congrats.
34:34
SPEAKER_02: I would say one of my biggest pieces of advice is to write down your priorities of like what you want at your wedding, you and your partner separately, and then share them with each other.
34:45
SPEAKER_00: Anything that aligns, you're like bingo.
34:47
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we're in.
34:48
SPEAKER_02: Then you find like your shared common things that you want at your wedding.
34:51
SPEAKER_02: And then you also can see like what maybe is important to your partner that you weren't even thinking about, and vice versa.
34:58
SPEAKER_02: Because you might be like, I want a big guest list, and they were thinking like, I want an intimate celebration, and you're like, we gotta talk about that.
35:06
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
35:06
SPEAKER_02: So that would be my biggest advice, besides enjoy your engagement.
35:11
SPEAKER_02: Like, take take time to enjoy being engaged before the stress of planning.
35:15
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
35:16
SPEAKER_00: Don't dive right into the planning.
35:18
SPEAKER_00: You can a little bit, and don't let anyone like pressure you into that.
35:22
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
35:23
SPEAKER_02: I felt like zero pressure with our wedding really.
35:25
SPEAKER_02: So I feel bad that people feel that from other people.
35:28
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
35:29
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
35:30
SPEAKER_00: Some people like get nervous, like, are and like, you got time.
35:33
SPEAKER_00: You don't have to worry about this.
35:34
SPEAKER_00: No rush.
35:35
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you're good.
35:36
SPEAKER_00: All right.
35:36
SPEAKER_00: Uh, second one and last question is what are some cool trends that you are seeing?
35:42
SPEAKER_02: I feel like we get to see a lot of trends or like cool things when we go to those events.
35:47
SPEAKER_02: We'll see like new stuff that's up and coming.
35:49
SPEAKER_02: I would have definitely have to say the flash tattoos would be cool.
35:52
SPEAKER_02: I don't know how many people would actually do tattoos at their wedding, but that was definitely a cool thing.
35:57
SPEAKER_02: We're seeing a lot of strolling food or strolling activities.
36:00
SPEAKER_02: I think anything like that is very cool.
36:03
SPEAKER_02: I also loved the photo booth that you could turn into a keychain.
36:08
SPEAKER_02: I thought that was creative and fun.
36:10
SPEAKER_02: Um what was that?
36:12
SPEAKER_00: We just were at that event and it was something to do with the candles.
36:16
SPEAKER_02: I think it's called Cheers Candle.
36:18
SPEAKER_02: I have to email them.
36:19
SPEAKER_02: But yeah, it was like a candle.
36:22
SPEAKER_02: It was basically a floating decorative candle that is meant for celebrating.
36:27
SPEAKER_02: So it's not just like a normal floating candle.
36:28
SPEAKER_02: It had like almost like a birthday candle and a cupcake, but it was a floating candle.
36:32
SPEAKER_02: It would not go out no matter how you moved your glass.
36:34
SPEAKER_02: So, like if you were someone that wanted to blow out a candle on your wedding day, which is trending right now on the cakes.
36:41
SPEAKER_02: A lot of people are blowing out the cake candles.
36:43
SPEAKER_02: Um, you could do that, but like in a glass.
36:46
SPEAKER_02: That was creative, that was different.
36:47
SPEAKER_02: I'd say like anything interactive, I'm usually like, oh, that's fun, that's cool.
36:52
SPEAKER_02: Gives you something to do.
36:53
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
36:54
SPEAKER_02: Cool.
36:55
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I don't really know any of the trends besides the one you just said.
36:57
SPEAKER_00: And I've seen them at the events, which is great.
37:00
SPEAKER_00: But I don't know, keep on keeping on, keep on the trends.
37:03
SPEAKER_02: Keep on, keeping on create, being creative.
37:05
SPEAKER_00: All right.
37:06
SPEAKER_00: Our next segment is VIP table.
37:10
SPEAKER_00: These are the worst smells.
37:13
SPEAKER_00: Smell, take a nice little deep sniff, and it just makes you pet want to pass out, makes you want to throw up.
37:21
SPEAKER_02: And you have the most sensitive nose.
37:23
SPEAKER_02: And so does our daughter.
37:24
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
37:25
SPEAKER_02: She has followed in your footsteps.
37:26
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I know whenever the house needs like more candles, or we might need to get like I one of my biggest pet peeves, it's not on my list, but it's it's not a bad smell.
37:37
SPEAKER_00: But whenever the house does smell, especially right now, we're coming up on fall.
37:42
SPEAKER_00: My favorite smell is fall-scented candles.
37:47
SPEAKER_00: Like any, like fall has the best candles out there.
37:52
SPEAKER_00: But then we'll, if we cook something indoors and it just takes the smell away, and all I smell is whatever meal we just had.
37:59
SPEAKER_00: Again, not a bad smell, but I prefer whenever it smells like pumpkin spice.
38:04
SPEAKER_00: Um, did you go first last time?
38:07
SPEAKER_02: You went first last time.
38:08
SPEAKER_00: Okay, then you go first.
38:10
SPEAKER_00: You can go first.
38:12
SPEAKER_02: Okay, this one is very niche to myself.
38:16
SPEAKER_02: But when you find an old bottle that either had breast milk or formula in it, and it's been in the hot car underneath the seat, or it was like rolled under a bed, rolled under a couch, and you open that bad boy up.
38:29
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
38:29
SPEAKER_02: Oh my god.
38:30
SPEAKER_02: It is like a stench, I do not want in my nostrils.
38:36
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like a any sort of cup that just has something in it that has not been washed and there's stuff still in it, mainly milk.
38:41
SPEAKER_00: I I had a similar pick that it's um like a protein shake.
38:46
SPEAKER_00: And you have the protein shaker.
38:48
SPEAKER_00: Like after a few, if that thing is not getting washed, it's like really starts to smell.
38:52
SPEAKER_00: So I that's a bad smell.
38:54
SPEAKER_00: Bad smell.
38:56
SPEAKER_00: Um my first pick is okay.
39:02
SPEAKER_00: I like I don't mind the smell whenever I enter this place.
39:08
SPEAKER_00: It's when I smell like it after I leave the location.
39:12
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
39:12
SPEAKER_00: It's the smell of Subway, but it's on your clothes.
39:15
SPEAKER_00: Like whenever like you like you get a whip and it's just everywhere.
39:20
SPEAKER_00: Like if you want, like it's terrible.
39:22
SPEAKER_00: It's terrible.
39:23
SPEAKER_02: It like absorbs into your clothes or something.
39:25
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
39:26
SPEAKER_02: Now that you think about it, I'm like, like again, I don't mind.
39:28
SPEAKER_02: It's nice when you're in the in the store.
39:30
SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
39:30
SPEAKER_00: I love that smell, that like fresh bread.
39:32
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, because we got subway on our road trip, and I remember smelling it on myself.
39:35
SPEAKER_00: Like I was like, um, my second pick is like I don't know how to explain.
39:45
SPEAKER_00: It's like old lady perfume.
39:48
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
39:49
SPEAKER_00: Like anyone above the age of 50, that when they walk into a place, now the whole room smells like them.
39:55
SPEAKER_02: And it doesn't smell good.
39:56
SPEAKER_02: It's not like a flowery, pretty scent.
39:58
SPEAKER_00: No, it's bad.
40:00
SPEAKER_00: Uh it's not musk, that's more of like a manly scent, but it's to the point that they sprayed themselves so much that wherever they were sitting at, it has the and it gets stuck on your clothes, it gets stuck on your furniture.
40:12
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
40:13
SPEAKER_02: I passed someone at the zoo the other day that smelled that smell, and I was like, oh a little shiver.
40:19
SPEAKER_00: Right, right.
40:20
SPEAKER_00: Terrible.
40:21
SPEAKER_02: Both very good picks.
40:24
SPEAKER_02: All right.
40:25
SPEAKER_02: My next pick is a gross one.
40:29
SPEAKER_02: Dog anal gland.
40:36
SPEAKER_02: It is disgusting.
40:38
SPEAKER_02: Yes, it's terrible.
40:39
SPEAKER_02: And like two of our dogs go pretty religiously to get groomed, so like they don't smell like it a lot.
40:45
SPEAKER_02: But the one I can tell his will like either like be burst or like something happens and I smell it.
40:50
SPEAKER_02: I'm like, oh no.
40:52
SPEAKER_00: And that's another one that can stick on like furniture carpet.
40:55
SPEAKER_00: Oh, it's nasty.
40:57
SPEAKER_02: Okay, and then my next one is and you might not have dealt with this, but burnt hair.
41:03
SPEAKER_00: Yes, it's on my list.
41:04
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that stench is such a unique stench, and it is strong, it does not go away.
41:10
SPEAKER_02: I burned my hair at that one event, and I just smelled like a doll day.
41:14
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it was like the nastiest smell.
41:18
SPEAKER_02: That real hair and fake hair.
41:20
SPEAKER_02: Like if you have synthetic, it's gross.
41:23
SPEAKER_00: Like even if you burn like not even your hair on your head, but even just your arm hair.
41:29
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
41:30
SPEAKER_00: Like that just gets a little like singed up, and it's nasty.
41:35
SPEAKER_00: All right, my next pick is it's one leftover in particular, broccoli.
41:42
SPEAKER_00: Leftover broccoli in a Tupperware container, and you open that thing up, it's just like, oh, it's been sitting in there for how long?
41:50
SPEAKER_00: And it's probably been a day.
41:52
SPEAKER_00: Like broccoli leftover, awful.
41:54
SPEAKER_00: Awful smell.
41:55
SPEAKER_00: I wouldn't give it to like every single, I wouldn't say just expired food, yeah, but like just food that's been in the fridge, but leftover broccoli.
42:04
SPEAKER_02: It is the worst top tier is the worst one.
42:07
SPEAKER_02: That broccoli and cauliflower both have like an interesting stench.
42:12
SPEAKER_00: Um and my last pick is um like a grandma that hasn't taken a bath in a few days.
42:20
SPEAKER_02: That's a that's a smell.
42:22
SPEAKER_02: I know that's a smell.
42:23
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's like almost like old people smell.
42:26
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but it's there's old people smell and then there's hasn't taken a bath in a while smell.
42:32
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
42:33
SPEAKER_00: And good.
42:34
SPEAKER_02: And you can't blame them if they like don't have help to like get themselves washed up, but but you can you know.
42:40
SPEAKER_00: I know you know that's and your last pick.
42:43
SPEAKER_02: My last pick is a small dead animal.
42:47
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah like we have we have like that, I don't know, what do they call it?
42:52
SPEAKER_02: A vole?
42:53
SPEAKER_00: A vole, yeah.
42:54
SPEAKER_02: A vole.
42:55
SPEAKER_02: And like I'm pretty sure it died because it was like smelly over there.
42:58
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and then same thing, we had mice in the shed, yeah, killing them and smelling.
43:01
SPEAKER_00: And just like if there's just roadkill and you get a whiff of that.
43:04
SPEAKER_02: It's gross.
43:05
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
43:05
SPEAKER_02: I'm like, I know it's probably like decaying carcass or something.
43:08
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
43:09
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I I think any like dead animal in general, just nasty.
43:17
SPEAKER_02: Gross.
43:18
SPEAKER_00: I'm sure a lot of people end up saying like just like a decomposed body.
43:22
SPEAKER_02: Uh that's probably the name.
43:24
SPEAKER_02: I've never spelled it.
43:25
SPEAKER_02: So my god, I don't know.
43:26
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm I just know that what I did search and that was like the main thing that came up.
43:31
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, I'm not gonna pick that.
43:32
SPEAKER_02: No.
43:33
SPEAKER_00: Um, all right.
43:34
SPEAKER_00: Any honorable mentions.
43:37
SPEAKER_02: My a few honorable mentions were moldy potatoes in particular.
43:41
SPEAKER_02: Yes, I had that.
43:42
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that was like when I left the potatoes in the pantry and it was like it's terrible.
43:46
SPEAKER_00: I almost put that over broccoli, but I was like, I'll do this.
43:48
SPEAKER_02: I also put those nasty ant traps that we have.
43:51
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
43:52
SPEAKER_00: Or the fly trap.
43:54
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, fly trap.
43:54
SPEAKER_02: I kept thinking that there was a dead animal in the thing.
43:57
SPEAKER_02: I checked the trash like three times, and you're like, Kat.
44:00
SPEAKER_02: It's the fly trap.
44:01
SPEAKER_02: But I was like, oh my God, that thing smells so bad.
44:04
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
44:04
SPEAKER_02: And then I also put the dirty diaper hamper when you have to open it up to change it.
44:11
SPEAKER_02: Cause like for a minute, it's exposed.
44:14
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
44:14
SPEAKER_02: And like multiple poop scents are coming out.
44:18
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, nasty.
44:19
SPEAKER_02: It's terrible.
44:20
SPEAKER_00: That's like a similar one.
44:21
SPEAKER_00: It's actually not on my list, but it's whenever I'm cleaning up dog poop, and then I put it in the same bag that I put my um lawn clippings.
44:30
SPEAKER_00: Like whenever you take that out, oh, it's just awful.
44:33
SPEAKER_00: This is a niche one, but it's the like the red tide that would happen when we lived in Florida in Key Largo.
44:39
SPEAKER_00: I forgot about how nasty that was.
44:41
SPEAKER_00: Like it hit really bad after Hurricane Irma, but there was just dead fish.
44:47
SPEAKER_00: Like that was bad.
44:47
SPEAKER_00: That was probably the worst smell I've ever smelled at that time.
44:50
SPEAKER_00: It was all over.
44:51
SPEAKER_02: You couldn't even get out away from it unless you were inside.
44:53
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, hurricane just like dominated it.
44:55
SPEAKER_00: And then the other red tide came after.
44:58
SPEAKER_00: Um another niche one, but it's like your hands after you touch a railing at a public place.
45:05
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that metal sound.
45:06
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
45:07
SPEAKER_00: Like it I I put mainly like if you're at an an if you're at an amusement park and you're waiting in line, and you like I hate whenever I accidentally touch it.
45:16
SPEAKER_00: And then if you give a quick smell, you're like, oh, I gotta wash my hands after this.
45:20
SPEAKER_00: And your hands are all like dotted.
45:22
SPEAKER_00: There's gotta be some germ city.
45:25
SPEAKER_00: Um a portageon in the summertime.
45:28
SPEAKER_00: Portageon.
45:29
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
45:29
SPEAKER_00: Anytime.
45:30
SPEAKER_00: Could have put anything when it deals with like anyone, like your like someone else's farts smell a lot worse than your own farts.
45:38
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
45:38
SPEAKER_00: Like someone else's farts was on my list.
45:41
SPEAKER_00: Umone else's farts.
45:44
SPEAKER_00: The smell of curry.
45:46
SPEAKER_00: I don't really like curry.
45:47
SPEAKER_00: Like, I don't like that.
45:48
SPEAKER_02: It's not a smell that I don't eat Indian food enough to be like used to the scent, I would say.
45:53
SPEAKER_00: And then I also had um my one friend in particular, Corey Williams, his farts were the absolute worst farts growing up.
46:02
SPEAKER_00: Like if it you sometimes can like fart and blame someone else.
46:06
SPEAKER_00: You knew it when it came out of him.
46:10
SPEAKER_00: And that's about it.
46:12
SPEAKER_00: That's I think on my list.
46:14
SPEAKER_00: That's a good list.
46:14
SPEAKER_00: Or like a smelly list.
46:16
SPEAKER_00: It's um it's your own breath after you have something that has a lot of onions.
46:22
SPEAKER_00: Like, and you can't escape the smell.
46:24
SPEAKER_00: It's just stuck like garlic and onions, it gets to stuff like that.
46:26
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you can brush your teeth, you can use mouthwash, you can floss, you can chew gum no matter what.
46:32
SPEAKER_00: Like it's still it's like in the back of your mouth, it gets stuck there.
46:35
SPEAKER_00: It's no escaping, no escaping a nice little onion breath.
46:39
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
46:41
SPEAKER_00: Good picks, bad smells.
46:43
SPEAKER_02: Correct.
