- 0:16SPEAKER_02: Kessie, we are in mid-July.
- 0:18SPEAKER_02: It has been steaming hot.
- 0:20SPEAKER_00: Steaming hot is the understatement of the year.
- 0:23SPEAKER_02: We were down in Deep Creek the week before the 4th of July.
- 0:26SPEAKER_02: Excellent time, but we were out on a boat for three hours.
- 0:30SPEAKER_02: And if I would have been out on a boat for three hours in one minute, I could have been a dinner dish.
- 0:36SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 0:37SPEAKER_02: I was toasty.
- 0:38SPEAKER_00: I was gonna say everybody was very crispy on the boat.
- 0:40SPEAKER_00: I feel like I fared the best because I was covered in like kid sunscreen and I was in the shade a lot.
- 0:47SPEAKER_00: So I was fine.
- 0:48SPEAKER_00: Everybody else was not looking good.
- 0:50SPEAKER_02: Not well.
- 0:51SPEAKER_02: Like I was wearing a tank top and I would take it off periodically.
- 0:55SPEAKER_02: Like if we were jumping in the water, or if I realized, oh, I'm like, I want to even out a little bit.
- 1:01SPEAKER_02: I saw myself in the mirror once we got back to the cabin, and it looked like I was still wearing a tank top when I took off my tank top.
- 1:10SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:10SPEAKER_00: But your sister, she was like lobster, the red lobster.
- 1:14SPEAKER_02: Like spicy, very shiny, shiny red.
- 1:18SPEAKER_02: It was bad.
- 1:18SPEAKER_02: It was very bad.
- 1:19SPEAKER_01: Shout out Allison.
- 1:20SPEAKER_02: She was like, she was like, oh my gosh, it's pretty bad.
- 1:24SPEAKER_02: And she acted like it wasn't bad at all.
- 1:26SPEAKER_02: Like, no, like you gotta get yourself checked.
- 1:30SPEAKER_02: Thankfully, the weather has gone down this past week.
- 1:33SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:33SPEAKER_02: And I'm not like in the sun as much.
- 1:37SPEAKER_02: But now, in the next week and a half for myself, a little bit for you.
- 1:43SPEAKER_02: I have I have two trips back to back.
- 1:46SPEAKER_02: First trip I have is probably in the first episode I mentioned it of a bachelor party.
- 1:52SPEAKER_02: It's finally happening.
- 1:53SPEAKER_02: It's in Gatlinburg.
- 1:54SPEAKER_02: Good luck.
- 1:55SPEAKER_02: I am in my mid-30s.
- 1:57SPEAKER_02: I don't know how many more I have in me.
- 1:58SPEAKER_02: We're gonna I know I have at least two more to attend.
- 2:01SPEAKER_02: Because I have a really close friend from college, really close friend from uh Belvern, and where I grew up, also from Slipper Rock University as well.
- 2:11SPEAKER_02: That those two, one one of them is happening at the end of this year in Scottsdale.
- 2:16SPEAKER_00: I might be attending.
- 2:17SPEAKER_02: Might be attending.
- 2:18SPEAKER_00: I hope I can go.
- 2:19SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 2:20SPEAKER_02: Well, as at the Bachelor Party or the Bachelorette?
- 2:23SPEAKER_00: Bachelorette.
- 2:23SPEAKER_00: I got invited to the Bachelor Party.
- 2:25unknown: Okay.
- 2:25SPEAKER_02: And then the other one I'm getting it's probably gonna happen either next year or the year after.
- 2:29SPEAKER_02: But the one that's in Scottsdale, this is my only like I'm gonna have a great time.
- 2:35SPEAKER_02: I am an avid Pittsburgh Steelers fan.
- 2:38SPEAKER_02: And on that Sunday, the whole reason why it's happening this particular weekend is because the Eagles, most of the people are from Philly, Eagles fans, are playing the Cardinals in Arizona.
- 2:52SPEAKER_02: So we're doing a tailgate, we're going to the game.
- 2:54SPEAKER_02: The Steelers play a night game that night, and I might have to miss it at home against the Texans.
- 3:00SPEAKER_00: You're gonna be one of those people in the stands with like your phone out, just like the good thing is the as of right now, it's not at the same time.
- 3:08SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 3:08SPEAKER_02: The Eagles, Cardinals play earlier, Steelers, Texans play at night, the night game.
- 3:13SPEAKER_01: Okay.

- 3:31SPEAKER_02: It has the big duck hunter or big buck hunter game, a bunch of arcade games.
- 3:36SPEAKER_02: My mission is to beat the high score of the Miss Pac-Man.
- 3:39SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 3:39SPEAKER_02: That's there.
- 3:40SPEAKER_02: We set up golf on the Friday morning and 8:04, 8:11, and 8:20 tea time, give or take.

- 3:51SPEAKER_02: Call time.
- 3:51SPEAKER_02: Call time.
- 3:52SPEAKER_00: I'm like, that's not it.
- 3:53SPEAKER_02: Call time.
- 3:54SPEAKER_02: Tea time.

- 3:55SPEAKER_02: But at eight o'clock.
- 3:56SPEAKER_02: We're getting in on Thursday.
- 3:58SPEAKER_02: I know I'm probably not gonna be going to bed at like a reasonable time.
- 4:03SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna have to be chugging energy drinks.
- 4:06SPEAKER_00: It's gonna be an early.
- 4:07unknown: Early.
- 4:08SPEAKER_02: Early kickoff.
- 4:09SPEAKER_02: And then we're there Thursday drive driving an eight and a half hour drive.

- 4:22SPEAKER_02: 13 and a half hour drive with our kids to the Ozarks.
- 4:25SPEAKER_02: Branson.
- 4:26SPEAKER_00: Can't wait for that drive.
- 4:27SPEAKER_02: Family reunion.
- 4:28SPEAKER_02: So we get to spend time with your side of the family, some of which we see frequently.
- 4:33SPEAKER_02: There's others that we haven't seen since the last reunion or since a wedding has happened.
- 4:37SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 4:38SPEAKER_02: So it'll be exciting to kind of get everyone together and wear our matching t-shirts one of the days.
- 4:43SPEAKER_02: Go to a there's an amusement park.
- 4:45SPEAKER_00: I designed the t-shirts and I couldn't tell you what they look like.
- 4:48SPEAKER_00: I don't even know.
- 4:49SPEAKER_00: I forgot.
- 4:50SPEAKER_02: It wasn't until this past week that I didn't even know the name of the place that we were staying at.
- 4:54SPEAKER_00: I shared it with you.
- 4:55SPEAKER_02: I know, but I just didn't Google it.
- 4:56SPEAKER_02: I assumed it was a good spot.
- 4:58SPEAKER_02: So I'm excited.
- 5:00SPEAKER_00: We'll do a resort review when we get back.
- 5:02SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 5:02SPEAKER_02: There is no gym, but it's all outdoor fitness stuff.
- 5:06SPEAKER_02: So like kayak, paddleboard.
- 5:09SPEAKER_02: There's gonna be there's every daily sand volleyball tournaments.
- 5:13SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna be honest, I'm never working out on vacation.
- 5:15SPEAKER_02: Most of the time, I'm like I try to get at least one.
- 5:18SPEAKER_00: You'll probably go on a run or something.
- 5:19SPEAKER_02: You're pretty fit.
- 5:20SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 5:21SPEAKER_02: Probably not.
- 5:22SPEAKER_00: You'll play in the uh putt-putt tournament.
- 5:24SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 5:25SPEAKER_02: And finish probably last.
- 5:26SPEAKER_02: My son will probably beat me.
- 5:28SPEAKER_02: But other than that, yeah, it's been hot.
- 5:30SPEAKER_02: It's been fun.
- 5:31SPEAKER_02: We've been busy.
- 5:33SPEAKER_02: And halfway through summer.
- 5:36SPEAKER_00: Halfway through summer.
- 5:37SPEAKER_00: It's flying by.
- 5:39SPEAKER_00: Um, our story today is kind of crazy because it's our first story submission with that's not wedding related.
- 5:45SPEAKER_00: We've been telling people sending your stories, which we have gotten quite a few that are not wedding related, but this one has was one of the first ones that came in, so we're gonna dive in.
- 5:55SPEAKER_00: Let's talk about how 23andMe gave me the worst and best birthday gift of my life.
- 6:00SPEAKER_00: When I was 26, freshly married, my husband gifted me a 23andMe kit for my birthday.
- 6:05SPEAKER_00: I had been curious about my genealogy and had tons of friends doing it, so I did it too.
- 6:09SPEAKER_00: My hope was to find long-distance cousins or family in hopes to reconnect with them.
- 6:15SPEAKER_00: I thought it would be a fun adventure.
- 6:17SPEAKER_00: My family had moved states away from everyone when I was about four, and I really only knew my mom's family.
- 6:22SPEAKER_00: My dad mentioned his family, but rarely, and we never ever saw them.
- 6:27SPEAKER_00: The week after my birthday, I was at my parents' house and I was telling them how excited I was, and my mom showed genuine interest, but my dad was not happy about it.
- 6:35SPEAKER_00: Pissed would be the word I would use.
- 6:37SPEAKER_00: I explained that everybody was doing it, and I encouraged him and my mom to get one too, and he shut that down fast.
- 6:42SPEAKER_00: I do remember when everyone was doing 23andMe.
- 6:45SPEAKER_00: It was like a fad.
- 6:46SPEAKER_02: Everybody was like, There's other like versions of it as well.
- 6:49SPEAKER_02: I never signed up.
- 6:50SPEAKER_02: Is there a cost?
- 6:51SPEAKER_00: I'm pretty sure there's a cost, and I'm pretty sure there was like a big court case, like they went down, like 23andMe isn't even a thing anymore.
- 6:58SPEAKER_02: How accurate is it?
- 6:59SPEAKER_02: Like, is it based off of who has already done it or bas I don't know.
- 7:04SPEAKER_00: I think you could get your you it's based off of who like participates in it.
- 7:08SPEAKER_00: So there's like a lot of people that put their DNA into this system, and then you can find out if you have a relation to other people.
- 7:14SPEAKER_00: But I remember there it was like they sold everybody's data and like it was it was messy.
- 7:20SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I don't know when.
- 7:20SPEAKER_00: I wasn't in it, so I was like, oh.
- 7:23SPEAKER_02: My grandparents on my dad's side, they had this booklet.
- 7:27SPEAKER_02: I don't know if my parents still have it or not, but growing up, I knew my lineage to a certain point.
- 7:32SPEAKER_02: I don't know it anymore.
- 7:34SPEAKER_02: I remember looking at it and like being fascinated with it as like a 10-year-old kid.
- 7:38SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 7:39SPEAKER_00: And you do your family tree in school, like it's like a you learn a lot about it.
- 7:42SPEAKER_02: Sometimes I'll even Google search like the meaning of our last name and where does it originate from?
- 7:46SPEAKER_02: Like the World Cup was just happening.
- 7:48SPEAKER_02: So I'm like, ooh, if America gets eliminated, is there a team that I have a background in?
- 7:54SPEAKER_02: I don't, they're all out, they're all of them out.
- 7:56SPEAKER_02: Everybody's out.
- 7:57SPEAKER_02: But I like when you search it, it takes you to sites similar to 23andMe.
- 8:02SPEAKER_02: And it does give you people that are deceased or alive still that might have been related to you.
- 8:09SPEAKER_02: But I think if you start filling things out, that's when it starts to say, I need some credit card information.
- 8:14SPEAKER_00: I think you have to pay for it.
- 8:15SPEAKER_00: I also think it's based on who participates because how would they have you in the system if you didn't participate?
- 8:20SPEAKER_00: So this person's very excited about it, telling their parents, mom's like, cool, dad's like, absolutely not.
- 8:27SPEAKER_00: He told me things were a joke and it's such a waste of time and money.
- 8:31SPEAKER_00: And if I was smart, I would just throw it in the trash and move on with my life.
- 8:35SPEAKER_00: Looking back on it, I should have seen some red flags about his reaction, but it makes sense due to the results I got.
- 8:40SPEAKER_00: In the moment, I chalked it up to my dad being strict and old school and not wanting to have a relationship with his family, and I was fine with that.
- 8:47SPEAKER_00: I submitted my kit and I could see some family members on my profile from my mom's family that were already in the database.
- 8:54SPEAKER_00: Things went stagnant for a while, and then one day I randomly checked my profile and I noticed I had a message.
- 9:00SPEAKER_00: I clicked the bell notification and it said I had a new match.
- 9:03SPEAKER_00: I don't know how this thing works, so I guess you just get alerts.
- 9:07SPEAKER_00: They swiped right.
- 9:08SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they swiped right.
- 9:09SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 9:09SPEAKER_00: It said 25% match, which was odd to me.
- 9:12SPEAKER_00: I thought it must be a mistake, so I logged out.
- 9:15SPEAKER_00: I quickly logged back in and it was still sitting there.
- 9:17SPEAKER_00: I had a 25% match with an Ava.
- 9:20SPEAKER_00: I'm an only child, so it took me a minute to register how Ava would be related to me so closely.
- 9:25SPEAKER_00: Her age was 24, two years younger than me.
- 9:29SPEAKER_00: Would that mean she is a sibling or a cousin?
- 9:32SPEAKER_00: I looked it up and yes, it is a sibling, a half sibling.
- 9:35SPEAKER_00: I was shocked to say the least.
- 9:37SPEAKER_00: There was no way my parents are happily married, and this had to be a mistake.
- 9:40SPEAKER_00: I'm 26 years old and she's 24, so it didn't make any sense to me.
- 9:45SPEAKER_00: I sat on it for a few days, but my husband could see something was bugging me, and I spilled the beans.
- 9:50SPEAKER_00: He was shocked as well, and he encouraged me to connect further with her, which I did.
- 9:54SPEAKER_00: At first we messaged each other in the app.
- 9:56SPEAKER_00: I let her know I wasn't sure it was the right thing to dig further and reach out, but I couldn't help myself.
- 10:01SPEAKER_00: She responded pretty quickly, saying she felt the same.
- 10:04SPEAKER_00: She had been staring at my profile for two days and was relieved that I made the first contact.
- 10:09SPEAKER_00: We then started texting outside of the app, learning that we had the same dad.
- 10:13SPEAKER_00: That's right, we shared a father.
- 10:15SPEAKER_00: We agreed to meet up at a coffee shop to just talk and see if we wanted to continue getting to know each other and figure out how to move forward.
- 10:22SPEAKER_00: I feel like that would be such a shock to find out, like middle of your life.
- 10:28SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 10:28SPEAKER_00: Like I have a sibling.
- 10:30SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 10:30SPEAKER_02: And the sibling probably doesn't know her father.
- 10:33SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 10:33SPEAKER_02: And was using that 23andMe to source out maybe I can find either family or dad that's on that side.
- 10:42SPEAKER_02: Crazy.
- 10:43SPEAKER_02: I'm pretty sure.
- 10:43SPEAKER_02: I'm not gonna out a person that I know that did that.
- 10:46SPEAKER_02: I don't know if they want it shared.
- 10:47SPEAKER_02: This is very similar to someone I know that did this and found out that they were they had siblings.
- 10:52SPEAKER_00: Yes, and further in adulthood, too.
- 10:54SPEAKER_02: Yeah, very good.
- 10:54SPEAKER_00: That was a crazy story that they were telling us.
- 10:56SPEAKER_02: I was like on the edge of my seat.
- 10:58SPEAKER_02: They all met, they all got along.
- 11:00SPEAKER_02: They had like a lot of cool similarities, but yeah.
- 11:03unknown: Crazy.
- 11:04SPEAKER_00: They had like an added layer too that this one does not have.
- 11:06SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 11:07SPEAKER_00: Yes, I know who you're talking about.
- 11:09SPEAKER_00: Before meeting her in the coffee shop, I decided I was going to confront my parents about what I found on 23andMe.
- 11:15SPEAKER_00: My mom was in denial, stating, oh, it must be a problem with the system, and very confused why I would have such a close match on there.
- 11:21SPEAKER_00: And my dad agreed with her.
- 11:23SPEAKER_00: But then he went even harder into it, basically screaming at me.
- 11:26SPEAKER_00: He told me that those things are so inaccurate and it was impossible to have a sibling.
- 11:30SPEAKER_00: He was a devoted father, and there was no way the DNA DNA database was correct.
- 11:35SPEAKER_00: How could she have another sibling?
- 11:37SPEAKER_00: I knew then and there that he was the father of Ava 100%, because I never once mentioned if the shared DNA came from my mom or my dad.
- 11:44SPEAKER_00: But my dad was so defensive about the whole thing.
- 11:47SPEAKER_00: I could see my mom putting the pieces together and realizing that he must have a child with someone else because she only gave birth to me.
- 11:53SPEAKER_00: She only has one child.
- 11:56SPEAKER_02: Maybe like before you end the story, I'm just maybe he was a sperm donor.
- 12:03unknown: No.
- 12:04SPEAKER_00: Spoiler alert, no.
- 12:06SPEAKER_00: The truth's about to come out.
- 12:08SPEAKER_00: Two weeks from that conversation, I met up with Ava in that coffee shop.
- 12:12SPEAKER_00: She lived about three hours away, so we met in the middle.
- 12:14SPEAKER_00: When I walked in, I knew it was her because we looked so similar, both of us sporting our dad's jeans, dark hair, olive skin, buttoned nose, and a big bright and warm smile.
- 12:23SPEAKER_00: As weird as this encounter was, we greeted each other with a hug, and we sat and we talked for hours at this coffee shop.
- 12:28SPEAKER_00: Her mom had told her that her father had passed away in a car crash and never shared his real name.
- 12:34SPEAKER_00: I brought pictures of my dad, which I think might have been a bit overwhelming.
- 12:38SPEAKER_00: It probably hurt to find out that your dad was actually alive the whole time and just living a happy life three hours away with a different daughter and a wife.
- 12:46SPEAKER_00: I asked Ava if I could speak to her mom one day to learn more about her encounter with my father, because clearly he had cheated on my mom.
- 12:54SPEAKER_00: Had he known about Ava, had he tried to have a relationship with Ava, and the mom blocked it, I had a million questions.
- 13:00SPEAKER_00: She did say yes, and she gave me her mother's cell phone number.
- 13:04SPEAKER_00: I feel like it's it would be hard as Ava to be like, he's not dead.
- 13:10SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he's been here the whole time.
- 13:12SPEAKER_02: Striking news to find out that like early on.
- 13:17SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I also have a dad.
- 13:19SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he didn't he didn't die in a car crash.
- 13:21SPEAKER_02: That's I mean, I'm sure that the mom knew what before she talks to the mom.
- 13:26SPEAKER_02: The mom probably he didn't want anything to do with it.
- 13:30SPEAKER_02: It was a mistake for him.
- 13:31SPEAKER_02: He realized what he just did, and he was like, just tell her I died in a car crash.
- 13:37SPEAKER_02: Let's be done.
- 13:38SPEAKER_00: Well, I guess we'll see.
- 13:40SPEAKER_00: Ava and I continued to grow our relationship as half siblings, meeting up every so often for lunch halfway and catching up each other on 20 years that we missed.
- 13:49SPEAKER_00: About a few months into this, I finally connected with Ava's mom.
- 13:53SPEAKER_00: I was reluctant to have this conversation, but I felt it was needed for clarification for both Ava and I.
- 13:59SPEAKER_00: We will call her Mal.
- 14:01SPEAKER_00: She shared that she bartended at a hotel that my dad's work frequented.
- 14:06SPEAKER_00: He did traveling sales.
- 14:08SPEAKER_00: She had no clue that he was married, and she felt for three months that they were dating.
- 14:13SPEAKER_00: She never questioned the long distance because he was always traveling and lived further away.
- 14:18SPEAKER_00: But he always made time for her when he traveled into town.
- 14:20SPEAKER_00: Getting pregnant was not planned, but Mal was happy when she found out.
- 14:24SPEAKER_00: She thought that she would tell him and they would make plans to get engaged and raise the baby together.
- 14:29SPEAKER_00: But when she told him, his face went pale and he asked her to get rid of it and left.
- 14:34SPEAKER_00: She never heard from this man again.
- 14:36SPEAKER_00: She said she eventually traced him down.
- 14:38SPEAKER_00: He had given her the name of Ed, but my dad's name is Rob.
- 14:42SPEAKER_00: So it took her some time to actually find him.
- 14:44SPEAKER_00: She finally had the courage to confront him, and when she pulled up in front of our house, she saw me, my dad, and my mom in the front yard playing and laughing, and she couldn't bear to do that to my mom.
- 14:53SPEAKER_00: She moved on, she raised Ava alone, and eventually married a nice man ten years later, and kept Ava's real father out of being the topic of conversation and just said he was dead.
- 15:03SPEAKER_00: It was easier that way because he was dead to her, anyways.
- 15:06unknown: Burn.
- 15:07SPEAKER_00: Get rid of it.
- 15:08SPEAKER_00: Yikes.
- 15:09SPEAKER_02: Get rid of it, walks away.
- 15:11SPEAKER_00: Never to be heard from again.
- 15:13SPEAKER_02: Oh my gosh.
- 15:14SPEAKER_02: Like he went, he frequented the hotel bar that his business always took him to.
- 15:19SPEAKER_02: He probably walked in, threw off the ring.
- 15:23SPEAKER_02: Also, like how was he paying in cash, probably then?
- 15:26SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 15:27SPEAKER_02: Rather than like a card, because the card would show that his name wasn't it?
- 15:30SPEAKER_02: I didn't look at the date.
- 15:31SPEAKER_00: I'm like, when did this happen?
- 15:33SPEAKER_00: It doesn't say 23 and me.
- 15:35SPEAKER_00: 23 and me, so it has to be like decently recent.
- 15:37SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 15:38SPEAKER_02: Since I feel like I don't know.
- 15:41SPEAKER_02: Sometimes when I travel, I like using cash.
- 15:42SPEAKER_02: It's a few years.
- 15:43SPEAKER_00: Or maybe he had a business card that like didn't have his name on it or something.
- 15:47SPEAKER_00: Just said Ed.
- 15:48SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 15:49SPEAKER_02: Fake name Ed.
- 15:50SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 15:51SPEAKER_00: I didn't.
- 15:53SPEAKER_00: It doesn't have those details on here.
- 15:55SPEAKER_00: No.
- 15:56SPEAKER_00: I was appalled.
- 15:58SPEAKER_00: My dad, who I admired, was a cheater and a liar and didn't give a damn about the lady he knocked up or his child.
- 16:04SPEAKER_00: I decided I was going to tell my mother first and then confront my dad, but had to find the right time.
- 16:09SPEAKER_00: Is there ever a right time for this conversation?
- 16:11SPEAKER_00: While waiting to break the news, I got two more alerts, and so did Ava.
- 16:15SPEAKER_00: Two more 25% matches.
- 16:18SPEAKER_00: A set of twin boys aged 21.
- 16:21SPEAKER_00: You can't make this stuff up.
- 16:22SPEAKER_00: You guessed it.
- 16:23SPEAKER_00: My dad had two additional children that we were just finding out about.
- 16:27SPEAKER_00: I was sick to my stomach.
- 16:29SPEAKER_02: Oh my God.
- 16:30SPEAKER_00: I couldn't hold it in any longer.
- 16:32SPEAKER_00: But I just think about the time when everybody was doing this.
- 16:35SPEAKER_00: So many stories like this probably happened.
- 16:37SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 16:38SPEAKER_00: And this is like one of the many.
- 16:40SPEAKER_00: Like we know someone personally who had something similar.
- 16:42SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 16:43SPEAKER_00: So I'm like, this would be crazy.
- 16:45SPEAKER_00: I couldn't hold it in any longer.
- 16:47SPEAKER_00: So I drove over to my parents' house and I laid it all out there, showing pictures of Ava and me, and the resemblance was uncanny.
- 16:53SPEAKER_00: And then sharing news of the two other children.
- 16:55SPEAKER_00: I watched my dad's face turn white and his fists curl into balls, and I watched my mother's heart break into a million pieces.
- 17:01SPEAKER_00: It was the worst thing I ever had to do, but it was necessary.
- 17:04SPEAKER_00: After that conversation, my mother left my dad, divorced his ass, and took half of everything as she should.
- 17:10SPEAKER_00: My dad tried to deny the whole thing, claiming that 23andMe is made up and it can't prove a thing.
- 17:16SPEAKER_00: All of the mothers confirmed it was the same man, going under three different names, Ed, Rob, and Greg, to conceal his identity.
- 17:23SPEAKER_00: Only my mom knew that his real name was Rob.
- 17:26SPEAKER_00: The other two given fakes.
- 17:28SPEAKER_00: My dad won't won't own up to anything, but from what I gathered, he used his traveling job to confide and start relationships with women, and when he got them pregnant, he just ghosted them.
- 17:38SPEAKER_00: Me and my three half siblings have an amazing relationship.
- 17:44SPEAKER_00: We are navigating it in adulthood.
- 17:46SPEAKER_00: It's weird but amazing.
- 17:47SPEAKER_00: We all think there are probably more of us out there, but our father would never own up to any of it if he has more kids.
- 17:53SPEAKER_00: I feel a little guilty that I got to grow up with a present dad, and none none of them did.
- 17:57SPEAKER_00: But then I remember he was just a monster wearing a mask, and that makes me feel a little bit better about it all.
- 18:02SPEAKER_00: So that's it.
- 18:03SPEAKER_00: I hope you liked it.
- 18:04SPEAKER_00: I know it's not wedding related, but it does deal with relationships, crazy drama, and the big reveal, your favorite type of stories to tell.
- 18:10SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 18:11SPEAKER_02: Thanks for submitting.
- 18:12SPEAKER_02: My goodness.
- 18:13SPEAKER_02: I didn't know that they were gonna throw a twin wrench in there.
- 18:16SPEAKER_00: Twin wrench.
- 18:18SPEAKER_00: I finding out you have one sibling would be wild enough.
- 18:21SPEAKER_00: And then to find out, oh twins, there's twins, twins.
- 18:25SPEAKER_00: And like he obviously knew about Ava.
- 18:28SPEAKER_00: She doesn't share about the twins and like how that story went down, but it most likely was similar.
- 18:33SPEAKER_02: Similar.
- 18:35SPEAKER_02: I don't know if he protection.
- 18:38SPEAKER_02: I don't know if the mother and the twins' lives said that he died in a car crash, but maybe.
- 18:43SPEAKER_00: Maybe, or maybe they just maybe that person never told them.
- 18:46SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so like DB Cooper and he ransomed the plane and jumped out of it.
- 18:51SPEAKER_00: No, that is just so crazy to me because both of us have like close relationships with our siblings.
- 18:56SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 18:56SPEAKER_00: And like our families in general.
- 18:58SPEAKER_00: So to just be like, here's another one, there's another one.
- 19:01SPEAKER_00: It's been a one another one.
- 19:02SPEAKER_02: Another one.
- 19:03SPEAKER_00: I'd be like, what?
- 19:04SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 19:04SPEAKER_02: And it's good for her to tell, realize what happened and confront her mom about what her dad was doing.
- 19:14SPEAKER_02: If there's like some shadiness going on with like a family member, you can't let that settle back.
- 19:19SPEAKER_02: You got that you're gonna eat that's gonna eat at you inside knowing this information and not sharing it.
- 19:25SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 19:26SPEAKER_00: And the mom probably had no clue.
- 19:28SPEAKER_02: No.
- 19:28SPEAKER_02: The mom was just like happily living her life thinking like, oh well, he was going on trips, he was making money for the family, but he was also making other families.
- 19:36SPEAKER_02: Making other families along the way, too, and doing nothing, like not even supporting it, clearly.
- 19:42SPEAKER_00: I feel like this type of situation is more common, like not more common, but I'm sure it happens all the time.
- 19:48SPEAKER_02: Yeah, because of things like 23andMe and other sources of ancestry.
- 19:53SPEAKER_02: That's the other one.
- 19:54SPEAKER_02: And have like a nice family tree.
- 19:56SPEAKER_00: I feel like that one's still still going strong.
- 19:58SPEAKER_02: There's probably an app that number one rated search for family app out there that we can get a sponsorship for.
- 20:05SPEAKER_02: This one.
- 20:06SPEAKER_02: You want to be on the you want to have an episode.
- 20:07SPEAKER_02: No free ads.
- 20:08SPEAKER_02: Go ahead and yeah, no free ads ancestry.
- 20:11SPEAKER_02: But that was crazy.
- 20:13SPEAKER_02: Good story.
- 20:14SPEAKER_00: For the first time in all of our podcast episodes, we are not gonna do an absolutely not segment, and we're gonna throw in some new ones so you can give us feedback if you like any of these new ones that you'll see in the next two episodes.
- 20:24SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 20:25SPEAKER_02: The only thing when it comes out, we're not gonna, it's not retired, it's the podcast name.
- 20:29SPEAKER_00: It's still gonna come in.
- 20:30SPEAKER_02: But we've given a lot of wedding takes.
- 20:34SPEAKER_02: And a lot of the time when we do absolutely not, 80%, if not more, we're absolutely not.
- 20:41SPEAKER_00: And almost every st story we share is an absolutely not.
- 20:45SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you can't.
- 20:46SPEAKER_00: That dad should not be doing that.
- 20:48SPEAKER_02: Should not be fathering other children with other women.
- 20:51SPEAKER_02: Holy.
- 20:52SPEAKER_02: All right.
- 20:53SPEAKER_02: So this segment is called the internet court.
- 20:56SPEAKER_02: We are honorable judges, and you will hear our bold internet or some you will hear today's bold internet statements, and we'll argue a debate.
- 21:08SPEAKER_02: And if we agree or disagree with them.
- 21:11SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 21:11SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 21:12SPEAKER_00: I'm ready.
- 21:13SPEAKER_02: The first one is breakfast for dinner is superior to dinner for breakfast.
- 21:20SPEAKER_00: Breakfast for dinner is better than dinner for breakfast.
- 21:25SPEAKER_00: I would have to agree with that.
- 21:27SPEAKER_00: 100%.
- 21:29SPEAKER_00: Like, I get it, you could have like a steak for breakfast, but you know when you're growing up and then mom's like, hey, we're making pancakes for dinner, like we're doing eggs.
- 21:38SPEAKER_00: I love that.
- 21:38SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 21:39SPEAKER_02: I don't mind having a nice, like, I'll make a dippy egg and then put it over rice for a dinner.
- 21:45SPEAKER_02: Very healthy.
- 21:45SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah.
- 21:46SPEAKER_02: Very rich in protein.
- 21:49SPEAKER_02: Mr.
- 21:49SPEAKER_02: Fit.
- 21:49SPEAKER_02: The other when it comes to dinner for breakfast, I'm really only having dinner for breakfast if it's leftover pizza.
- 21:59SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 22:00SPEAKER_00: I guess like a cold pizza is good.
- 22:01SPEAKER_02: So I don't mind waking up and having pizza.
- 22:02SPEAKER_02: I'm not gonna wake up and have a burger for breakfast.
- 22:04SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and I'm not like I want spaghetti and meatballs for breakfast.
- 22:07SPEAKER_00: Our kids do that.
- 22:08SPEAKER_02: They do.
- 22:09SPEAKER_00: But I don't do that as an adult.
- 22:10SPEAKER_02: I'm like I would prefer breakfast for breakfast.
- 22:14SPEAKER_02: I think breakfast for dinner is a nice once every month thing.
- 22:18SPEAKER_00: It's like a function.
- 22:20SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 22:20SPEAKER_00: I also had a holiday like in my family for a short amount of time when this family member was alive.
- 22:25SPEAKER_00: My nanny, they used to host Christmas Eve and we did breakfast for dinner.
- 22:29SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 22:29SPEAKER_02: And we did like around a holiday or surprising your kids for I mean, our kids also have like bre they mainly have waffles for breakfast, but they'll end up potentially wanting a waffle for dinner or have a little cinnamon roll.
- 22:45SPEAKER_00: So my final judgment for that would be I agree.
- 22:48SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
- 22:49SPEAKER_02: Breakfast for dinner superior than dinner for breakfast.
- 22:53SPEAKER_02: But the only time I would be like maybe so-so, pizza.
- 22:56SPEAKER_01: Cold pizza.
- 22:57SPEAKER_02: I can have pizza for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, late night bite, any of it.
- 23:03SPEAKER_00: Pizza is the best.
- 23:04SPEAKER_02: That is superior.
- 23:06SPEAKER_02: Okay, next one.
- 23:08SPEAKER_02: Parents should charge adult children rent.
- 23:11SPEAKER_02: Ooh.
- 23:14SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 23:15SPEAKER_02: Uh it depends on the age in the scenario.
- 23:20SPEAKER_00: Yeah, age and scenario play a big part.
- 23:21SPEAKER_00: Because I'm like, if you're above the age of 30 and you're just like mooching off them because you don't want to rent a place, you don't want to get a place, I'd be like, at that point.
- 23:31SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 23:32SPEAKER_02: If I don't know.
- 23:33SPEAKER_02: A lot of times parents will say, hey, you got to chip in for like groceries or toiletries, but not rent.
- 23:41SPEAKER_02: Or maybe like if you're paying maybe parcel of like the bills, yeah.
- 23:46SPEAKER_02: Like electric bill, sewage.
- 23:48SPEAKER_02: If I notice, if I'm a parent and our parent kids later in life want to move back and they're struggling, I will take them in to make sure that they can get back on their feet.
- 23:57SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 23:57SPEAKER_02: And I'm not going to charge them rent.
- 23:59SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 23:59SPEAKER_00: And I even think like when we moved up and we lived with your parents in their basement when we were house hunting, your parents weren't charging us rent because we were saving as much money as we could to purchase a home.
- 24:08SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 24:09SPEAKER_02: And so, like we would help out here and that like with groceries.
- 24:12SPEAKER_02: We would buy our own stuff, like things of that nature.
- 24:15SPEAKER_02: We also kind of live separate.
- 24:16SPEAKER_02: Like we lived in the basement, all their stuff was upstairs.
- 24:19SPEAKER_00: I also love when parents do charge rent and it's like a low amount, you know,$250,$300, and they save it and then they gift it to them.
- 24:27SPEAKER_00: And it's like, here, here's like a what do they call it?
- 24:30SPEAKER_00: A nest egg?
- 24:31SPEAKER_02: Something.
- 24:32SPEAKER_00: I mean here's a a lump of money.
- 24:36SPEAKER_00: Here's a lump sum of money.
- 24:38SPEAKER_02: Nest egg.
- 24:38SPEAKER_00: Isn't that what they call it when it's like a large money?
- 24:41SPEAKER_00: They can just okay.
- 24:42SPEAKER_00: Could be.
- 24:42SPEAKER_02: I've never I never heard the term in my vocabulary, but I'm sure it's out there.
- 24:47SPEAKER_00: Someone tell us if nested is a thing.
- 24:49SPEAKER_00: I might be making it up.
- 24:50SPEAKER_00: I want to look it up after this.
- 24:51SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 24:51SPEAKER_00: Um, but they give the money then and they're like, here, you can use it towards an apartment or like whatever you need.
- 24:56SPEAKER_00: I do like that.
- 24:57SPEAKER_02: The other, so end with this one.
- 25:01SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 25:02SPEAKER_02: They shouldn't be charging rent depending on the scenario.
- 25:06SPEAKER_02: If they're just freeloading, you should charge rent.
- 25:08SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 25:09SPEAKER_02: That's that.
- 25:10SPEAKER_02: Here's the other.
- 25:11SPEAKER_02: Whenever uh like you get old.
- 25:15SPEAKER_02: We're older now.
- 25:16SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 25:17SPEAKER_02: And you're doing a family vacation.
- 25:20SPEAKER_02: And like, should it be split cost?
- 25:25SPEAKER_02: Like I see sometimes people not paying for like big trips.
- 25:31SPEAKER_02: I'm not talking us going to Deep Creek and then our parents are like, oh, there's a vi there's a sale, it was free, and then we like got the boat because we're like, well, we already planned to pay the money, so let's get this.
- 25:43SPEAKER_02: I'm talking like you're going on a trip to Florida with your family, and they there are siblings now.
- 25:49SPEAKER_02: You're going with your aunts and uncles and your parents, and your parents should you, as kids now that are in the workforce, be paying for your portion of the trip.
- 26:02SPEAKER_02: I say absolutely yes.
- 26:03SPEAKER_00: I say absolutely yes for that.
- 26:04SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 26:05SPEAKER_02: Like, like don't be moochin'.
- 26:07SPEAKER_00: I also feel, or at least you should offer, like, hey, how much do we owe you?
- 26:12SPEAKER_00: And then they might say, you know, it it's all taken care of.
- 26:15SPEAKER_00: But if they're like, yeah, everybody that's taking up a room, it's$500.
- 26:20SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 26:20SPEAKER_00: Then everybody should be paying it.
- 26:22SPEAKER_02: That's how I think I have for it too, is I see this in scenarios if there's a sibling trip going on and there's some siblings that don't have kids or some do.
- 26:30SPEAKER_00: We both have siblings that don't have kids.
- 26:32SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 26:33SPEAKER_02: That do you still pay the equal amount, or I think it depends on the age of the kid.
- 26:38SPEAKER_02: If it's a sibling that is now of age that should could have a job, that maybe that they pay less because their kids should be paying more.
- 26:49SPEAKER_00: I also think about how much space is the family taking up.
- 26:52SPEAKER_00: If I'm coming and our family's all sleeping in one room.
- 26:56SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 26:57SPEAKER_02: You're taking up two rooms.
- 26:58SPEAKER_00: If you're taking up two rooms, then I think you should be paying more.
- 27:00SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 27:01SPEAKER_02: Or if you're getting if I get the like queen bedroom with uh bunk beds, and I don't get like the private bathroom and all of that, like add on touches to it, I don't think I should be paying the same amount.
- 27:16SPEAKER_00: Evaluate.
- 27:16SPEAKER_00: Just like at a hotel.
- 27:17SPEAKER_02: I don't fight and argue over it, but I'm just kind of like, you know, I never actually been in that scenario.
- 27:22SPEAKER_02: But no, if I were.
- 27:23SPEAKER_00: We've been very lucky with our trips that like every time we go with family, it's been pretty equal.
- 27:27SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 27:28SPEAKER_00: Everybody has a good spot.
- 27:29SPEAKER_00: But I do feel like if you're bringing four people and then one person's coming solo, I think they should be paying less.
- 27:36SPEAKER_00: Less for it shouldn't be split evenly.
- 27:38SPEAKER_02: How would there be one person coming solo if there's four people?
- 27:41SPEAKER_00: If our family is a family of four and then a sibling doesn't have anyone coming with them, then I'd be like, Yeah, they should pay less.
- 27:47SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 27:48SPEAKER_00: They don't they're not gonna eat as much, they're not gonna take up as much space.
- 27:51SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 27:51SPEAKER_00: So I'm gonna go.
- 27:52SPEAKER_02: I would say though that like a rental car, if you're getting a rental car there, you should split it between families, maybe not necessarily like the people.
- 28:01SPEAKER_02: Sorry, that was a long-winded one about rent with siblings, but okay.
- 28:07SPEAKER_02: This one should be pretty pineapple.
- 28:10SPEAKER_02: Belongs on pizza.
- 28:12SPEAKER_00: I would say yes.
- 28:13SPEAKER_00: I love pineapple on pizza.
- 28:15SPEAKER_02: So there's it depends on the kind of pizza.
- 28:18SPEAKER_02: Hawaiian pizza.
- 28:18SPEAKER_02: Yeah, Hawaiian pizza or a I don't, like not a red sauced pizza.
- 28:25SPEAKER_02: What are you talking about?
- 28:27SPEAKER_02: Like there was a time, whenever we lived in Key Largo, Kyle would always want us to get Domino's for his pasta bread bowl, and we would get pizza, but we would get like a thin crust, gotta be thin crusted, can't be like a pan pizza.
- 28:40SPEAKER_02: Thin crust, I'm like You're making me hungry with like a like a you know, like a garlic.
- 28:48SPEAKER_02: What do you like a white pizza with pineapple on it?
- 28:50SPEAKER_02: I would like.
- 28:50SPEAKER_00: You would like that.
- 28:51SPEAKER_02: Not anti-pineapple on pizza, but I don't want it as with red sauce.
- 28:55SPEAKER_00: It's not the number one topping for sure, but like I would say it's fine to be a topping on pizza.
- 29:00SPEAKER_00: I like it.
- 29:01SPEAKER_00: I wouldn't red sauce or white sauce.
- 29:03SPEAKER_02: I like it with um, like you get like green peppers or yellow peppers on it.
- 29:06SPEAKER_00: That's what the other thing was that we used to get.
- 29:08SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 29:09SPEAKER_00: Pineapple, green peppers, cheese, white sauce, thin pizza.
- 29:13SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 29:13SPEAKER_00: That that's what it is.
- 29:14SPEAKER_02: That's how I would get a uh pineapple on a pizza.
- 29:18SPEAKER_02: Crocs.
- 29:19SPEAKER_02: They are a fashionable shoe.
- 29:22SPEAKER_00: Agree.
- 29:23SPEAKER_02: I love Crocs.
- 29:24SPEAKER_02: Okay, I love Crocs.
- 29:25SPEAKER_02: They're not fashionable.
- 29:26SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but nowadays Crocs makes like like trendier ones with like a.
- 29:30SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but they're not as comfy as the nice thick circular, curved circle shoe with the holes that you can put gibbets in.
- 29:39SPEAKER_02: They're not fashionable.
- 29:40SPEAKER_02: Classic Crocs are comfortable, absolutely true.
- 29:43SPEAKER_00: Okay, then I'd have to agree with you.
- 29:46SPEAKER_00: That statement is false.
- 29:47SPEAKER_00: Classic Crocs are not fashionable, but they're like the trendy Crocs.
- 29:51SPEAKER_02: But Crocs brand, yeah, they has some nice stuff.
- 29:54SPEAKER_02: They realize, like, hey, we gotta tap into people that are fashionable.
- 29:57SPEAKER_00: My sister wears them, they're like wedges and like they're super cute.
- 30:01SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm like, oh, I like this.
- 30:03SPEAKER_02: I used to Crocs inside, crocs in the house.
- 30:05SPEAKER_02: That would be like my house slipper.
- 30:07SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm packing Crocs for the vacation.
- 30:08SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 30:09SPEAKER_02: For the leak.
- 30:09SPEAKER_02: But that's I wasn't a croc wearer until I worked at Key Largo and people were wearing Crocs on our team.
- 30:16SPEAKER_02: Uh, very female prominent.
- 30:19SPEAKER_02: But then I purchased my own as well.
- 30:21SPEAKER_02: I'm like, this is revolutionary.
- 30:23SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 30:24SPEAKER_02: Funny enough, not even two days ago, uh, co-worker Chris at Key Largo sent me a text and he said he was sending a text of the Crocs that I gifted him.
- 30:36SPEAKER_02: They were trendier looking Crocs.
- 30:38SPEAKER_02: Completely forgot I gave him these, but had them in the trash like they served a great purpose.
- 30:43SPEAKER_02: These were the best crocs I ever had in my life.
- 30:45SPEAKER_02: Shout out, Crocs.
- 30:46SPEAKER_02: They serve somebody that I wouldn't expect to like Crocs, worn for eight plus years.
- 30:50SPEAKER_00: My Crocs, too.
- 30:51SPEAKER_00: My first experience buying Crocs was at South Seas.
- 30:54SPEAKER_00: It was required for the uniform.
- 30:55SPEAKER_00: You had to wear Crocs.
- 30:56SPEAKER_00: And they said, fill up your Crocs with gibbets because the kids will want to trade you.
- 31:00SPEAKER_00: And that was my first like, I was like, Oh, these are so stupid.
- 31:03SPEAKER_00: I got them.
- 31:04SPEAKER_00: I'm like, I love Crocs.
- 31:06SPEAKER_00: And our kids, I love the Crocs.
- 31:07SPEAKER_00: I like to get the charms to whatever they're into.
- 31:09SPEAKER_02: It was almost every year for Christmas.
- 31:11SPEAKER_02: Santa would bring me Crocs.
- 31:13SPEAKER_02: Brilliant.
- 31:13SPEAKER_02: Once I started wearing them.
- 31:16SPEAKER_02: Couples should combine their finances.
- 31:20SPEAKER_00: You probably know how I feel about this.
- 31:22SPEAKER_00: I would say, like, I think it's okay to combine your finances, but I don't think it's mandatory.
- 31:27SPEAKER_02: I think it's nice to have your own money that you like we share our financial in a pot of but we also have our own finances.
- 31:35SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 31:35SPEAKER_02: Like the things that we need together to support our house, to support the family.
- 31:40SPEAKER_02: That's one pot.
- 31:41SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 31:42SPEAKER_02: And then if you want to go do something or I want to go do something, we're not diving into each other's pot.
- 31:49SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 31:49SPEAKER_00: Like that's how I feel is like you have your own money.
- 31:52SPEAKER_00: If you have hobbies or you're going on, want to splurge on yourself, fine.
- 31:56SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 31:57SPEAKER_00: And at the same time, like at the end of the day, it's all each other's money.
- 32:01SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 32:01SPEAKER_02: Like if you want to get a massage for like your birthday, I'll get you something.
- 32:04SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 32:04SPEAKER_02: Flowers or like that's not saying we don't gift each other stuff.
- 32:07SPEAKER_00: But it's also just like, I don't think it's mandatory when people are like, you have to.
- 32:11SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you gotta do it right now.
- 32:12SPEAKER_02: You gotta get married and you gotta share all your money.
- 32:15SPEAKER_02: Put your stuff on all the bank accounts.
- 32:16SPEAKER_00: I'm like, yeah, you share, you still share it, but like I feel like it's nice to have your own little pocket of change.
- 32:23SPEAKER_02: Pocket of change to go travel and go to a bar and have kids.
- 32:30SPEAKER_02: All right.
- 32:31SPEAKER_02: Ranch dressing is the superior condiment.
- 32:35SPEAKER_02: I'd know your answer.
- 32:36SPEAKER_00: Oh, 100%.
- 32:37SPEAKER_02: No, no.
- 32:38SPEAKER_00: Hidden Valley Ranch, 10 out of 10.
- 32:40SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 32:40SPEAKER_02: I you don't like certain ranches though.
- 32:42SPEAKER_02: You only like Hidden Valley or if there's a really good restaurant that makes really good ranch.
- 32:46SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like a house-made buttermilk ranch at a restaurant.
- 32:50SPEAKER_00: If there is just some ranches that are not it.
- 32:53SPEAKER_00: I'm a ranch connoisseur, I feel like.
- 32:55SPEAKER_02: So I uh I don't mind ranch.
- 32:58SPEAKER_02: I'd prefer I like it in salads and I like it for wings for dipping my wings in.
- 33:05SPEAKER_02: Sometimes fries, like if I get wings and fries, but if I'm getting a cheeseburger or a hot dog cheeseburger, it's ketchup only.
- 33:13SPEAKER_02: Maybe a little bit of mustard, hot dog mustard.
- 33:16SPEAKER_02: I would say ketchup.
- 33:17SPEAKER_02: Again, same thing with you with ranch, like it's gotta be Hidden Valley or like certain buttermilk.
- 33:22SPEAKER_02: It's gotta be Heinz.
- 33:23SPEAKER_00: It's gotta be Heinz.
- 33:24SPEAKER_02: And I'm not like being biased to it being a Pittsburgh brand, which technically it's not.
- 33:29SPEAKER_02: It hasn't really been in Pittsburgh for a long time.
- 33:31SPEAKER_02: But Heinz is just the better.
- 33:33SPEAKER_00: It is the best.
- 33:34SPEAKER_00: It is the best for ketchup.
- 33:36SPEAKER_00: Okay, but what would your number one condiment be if it's not ranch?
- 33:40SPEAKER_00: Would it be ketchup?
- 33:41SPEAKER_02: Ketchup or like um, I don't know if it's necessarily a condiment, but like when I go to McDonald's and they ask for like the sauces, like buffalo.
- 33:50SPEAKER_00: I was gonna say like a barbecue or buffalo is what I would pick for you because that's what you use the most.
- 33:54SPEAKER_02: Barbecue I like when it comes to very standard barbecue things.
- 33:57SPEAKER_02: I I prefer a buffalo wing over a buffalo or a buffalo wing over a barbecue wing.
- 34:04SPEAKER_00: Fair.
- 34:05SPEAKER_00: So we have a we have a hung jury here.
- 34:07SPEAKER_02: Hung jury.
- 34:08SPEAKER_00: We do not agree on that statement.
- 34:09SPEAKER_02: No, if someone asks nicely to swap seats on the airplane, you should.
- 34:15SPEAKER_02: It depends.
- 34:16SPEAKER_00: Uh I would say disagree.
- 34:19SPEAKER_00: Especially now that you have to buy your seat.
- 34:21SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 34:21SPEAKER_02: Or a particular seat.
- 34:23SPEAKER_02: Like if I discover that I have to move seats to a middle aisle and I'm gonna be super uncomfortable in that middle seat, and the person wants to switch because they purchased, they when they purchased their seats, they put their child next to me.
- 34:40SPEAKER_02: I kind of feel bad and I'll move.
- 34:42SPEAKER_02: But if I have to be uncomfortable, I might be like, hey.
- 34:45SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 34:45SPEAKER_00: If kids are involved, I'm I would be more reluctant to like.
- 34:49SPEAKER_02: But if someone if someone's like switching because they don't want to pay honey boo-boo's sitting next to them, I'm like, sorry.
- 34:56SPEAKER_02: Too bad, so sad.
- 34:57SPEAKER_02: I'm not switching.
- 34:58SPEAKER_02: I like either aisle or window.
- 35:00SPEAKER_02: I'm not a middle seat.
- 35:01SPEAKER_02: If I have to move to middle seat, it has to be with people you know.
- 35:04SPEAKER_02: It has to be with people I know.
- 35:07SPEAKER_02: But it's yeah, and don't get mad if you if I say no.
- 35:12SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 35:12SPEAKER_02: Sorry, too bad.
- 35:13SPEAKER_02: Go ask someone else if they want to switch.
- 35:16SPEAKER_02: Why am I the one to blame?
- 35:17SPEAKER_00: If you see us at the airport, don't try to swap.
- 35:19SPEAKER_02: Why am I the one to blame?
- 35:21SPEAKER_02: Die Hard, is that a Christmas movie?
- 35:23SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna be honest, I never really seen it.
- 35:27SPEAKER_02: I haven't seen it in a long time.
- 35:29SPEAKER_00: Oh my, I don't know.
- 35:30SPEAKER_02: I'll tell you this much.
- 35:31SPEAKER_02: I watched Die Hard, and then all of the sudden it was probably 10 years had passed since I watched it, and it's been probably 20 years since then, too.
- 35:39SPEAKER_02: Sorry.
- 35:40SPEAKER_02: It like it can be if you want it to be.
- 35:44SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I don't even have to.
- 35:45SPEAKER_02: I never knew it as a Christmas movie when I watched it.
- 35:47SPEAKER_02: But all of a sudden, like 10 years after I watched it, it was like diehard's a Christmas movie.
- 35:52SPEAKER_00: Some people feel very strongly on that.
- 35:53SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 35:54SPEAKER_02: Like it, they kind of make it their personality.
- 35:56SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'm like, I couldn't tell yet.
- 35:57SPEAKER_02: Like Christmas comes along and they're like, what is it even about?
- 36:00SPEAKER_00: What's diehard about?
- 36:02SPEAKER_02: Okay, I'm not gonna like dive into it too.
- 36:04SPEAKER_02: Christmas, actually.
- 36:04SPEAKER_02: It's a Christmas movie.
- 36:06SPEAKER_02: It's Christmas, yeah.
- 36:07SPEAKER_02: See last one, water, it has a taste.
- 36:12SPEAKER_02: Depends on like if you're at a if you're getting tap water, it definitely has a taste.
- 36:16SPEAKER_02: And you probably if it has a taste from tap water, it probably doesn't taste good.
- 36:19SPEAKER_02: You can I can tell when it's filtered because it has like that filtration sensation.
- 36:24SPEAKER_00: You have like heightened senses because I would say water, it has a taste because it tastes like water.
- 36:29SPEAKER_02: Like, you know, so that means it has a taste.
- 36:31SPEAKER_00: But like it's not an extreme flavor.
- 36:34SPEAKER_00: Only time is like if people have um like my parents have it, they have uh what is it called?
- 36:39SPEAKER_00: A some uh like they have like a sub pump?
- 36:41SPEAKER_00: Is that what it is?
- 36:42SPEAKER_00: Sub pump?
- 36:43SPEAKER_00: They have like water and then they they have to filter it to drink it because if you drink their water at from the tap, it tastes like rust.
- 36:50SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's like nasty.
- 36:51SPEAKER_02: Well, that's what I'm saying.
- 36:52SPEAKER_02: Like if I would drink tap water from the house I grew up at, it would be all like cloudy.
- 36:58SPEAKER_02: Like you should not be drinking that.
- 36:59SPEAKER_02: You gotta boil it.
- 37:00SPEAKER_00: Like, I don't know.
- 37:01SPEAKER_00: I'd love drinking from the tap.
- 37:03SPEAKER_00: And everywhere we've gone, I've always just I don't even sometimes take it from the fridge.
- 37:07SPEAKER_02: Like I'm drinking a bottled water from plastic right now.
- 37:09SPEAKER_02: I feel like I do taste more plastic than water.
- 37:12SPEAKER_00: But I I guess for the statement itself, I could say yes, water has a taste.
- 37:15SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I could agree with that.
- 37:16SPEAKER_02: I'm super dehydrated, like, and I just want to I don't want to taste water, I just want to drink water.
- 37:21SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 37:22SPEAKER_02: Maybe it doesn't have a taste.
- 37:24SPEAKER_02: No flavor.
- 37:24SPEAKER_02: No flavor.
- 37:26SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 37:27SPEAKER_02: Internet court.
- 37:28SPEAKER_02: The we agreed on most.
- 37:30SPEAKER_02: We were hung on a few.
- 37:32SPEAKER_02: So court is adjourned.
- 37:36SPEAKER_02: All right.
- 37:37SPEAKER_02: Our next segment is Blind Ranking, new segment.
- 37:42SPEAKER_02: I am going to read a couple to you.
- 37:44SPEAKER_02: You can do the same back.
- 37:45SPEAKER_02: We have four in total.
- 37:46SPEAKER_02: Uh, two on my list.
- 37:48SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna read one.
- 37:49SPEAKER_02: You're gonna say whether you think it's one, two, three, four, or five.
- 37:53SPEAKER_02: Then I'll read the second one.
- 37:54SPEAKER_02: You might end up, like your least favorite might end up being stuck at one, or your favorite could be three because you don't know what's to come.
- 38:02SPEAKER_02: Got it.
- 38:03SPEAKER_02: Blind ranking.
- 38:04SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 38:05SPEAKER_02: I'm ready.
- 38:06SPEAKER_02: This category is going to be weather days.
- 38:10SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 38:11SPEAKER_02: The weather on this day is 75 and sunny.
- 38:16SPEAKER_00: Number one.
- 38:17SPEAKER_02: Okay, number one, 75 and sunny.
- 38:20SPEAKER_02: A thunderstorm day.
- 38:21SPEAKER_00: Number five.
- 38:24SPEAKER_02: A crisp fall day.
- 38:26unknown: Oh, I love a crisp fall day.
- 38:28SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna do number two.
- 38:30SPEAKER_00: Beach weather.
- 38:31SPEAKER_00: I'm nervous now.
- 38:32SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 38:33SPEAKER_00: Number three.
- 38:34SPEAKER_00: And snow.
- 38:35SPEAKER_00: That's gonna have to be four.
- 38:37SPEAKER_00: Number four.
- 38:37SPEAKER_00: Honestly, that's pretty accurate to me.
- 38:39SPEAKER_00: I would have maybe swap.
- 38:41SPEAKER_02: So you had 75 and sunny one, crisp fall day two, beach weather three, thunderstorm five, snow four.
- 38:49SPEAKER_00: I would have swap snow and thunderstorm if I had to.
- 38:52SPEAKER_00: But otherwise my top three would stick.
- 38:54SPEAKER_02: You know, I wouldn't if I were to do this list, number one with knowing the ranking, number one would be a crisp fall day.
- 39:02SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 39:02SPEAKER_02: Like there's it's just something in the air.
- 39:06SPEAKER_02: Whenever, not even like being outside during that day, but having a nice pumpkin apple scent in the house, cinnamon, going outside and the football and football, sports, sport, sports.
- 39:20SPEAKER_02: Like a nice tailgate, watching the Steelers blow it, blow it, you blew it.
- 39:26SPEAKER_02: And then I would probably do 75 and sunny because that's a great temperature.
- 39:31SPEAKER_02: Like again, July this last few weeks was been miserable.
- 39:37SPEAKER_02: I would then do beach weather.
- 39:39SPEAKER_02: But like at this when it comes to a beach, if I'm at a beach nowadays, maybe even back in like it gets too hot.
- 39:47SPEAKER_02: Like if I'm out in the sand and I I just gotta keep dipping in the water, coming back out, being in shape.
- 39:53SPEAKER_00: Like 75 and sunny would be my perfect beach weather.
- 39:56SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 39:56SPEAKER_00: But that's usually it's like 88.
- 39:59SPEAKER_02: I would, I mean, snow, thunderstorm, I can go either way.
- 40:03SPEAKER_02: Thunderstorm, it's more so if I'm like just having a relaxing day.
- 40:07SPEAKER_02: But if it means me being outside, I would rather be outside with snow and not a thunderstorm because I don't want to get electrocuted.
- 40:14SPEAKER_02: I also just don't like the cold, so that's why I would put s I would put snow last.
- 40:17SPEAKER_02: Alright, my next category is going to be holidays.
- 40:22SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 40:23SPEAKER_02: First one, Easter.
- 40:26SPEAKER_00: Number five.
- 40:28SPEAKER_00: Sorry, Jesus.
- 40:31SPEAKER_02: Speaking of Christmas.
- 40:33SPEAKER_00: Number one.
- 40:34SPEAKER_02: Halloween.
- 40:37SPEAKER_02: Number two.
- 40:40SPEAKER_02: Fourth of July.
- 40:41SPEAKER_02: Number four.
- 40:42SPEAKER_02: Thanksgiving.
- 40:44SPEAKER_02: Number three.
- 40:46SPEAKER_02: Honestly, yeah.
- 40:47SPEAKER_02: It's a good list.
- 40:48SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I was like Christmas one, Halloween two, Thanksgiving three, fourth of July four.
- 40:53SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 40:53SPEAKER_02: Easter five.
- 40:54SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 40:55SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 40:56SPEAKER_02: Like Christmas is just, it's not even a like it's a whole month.
- 41:00SPEAKER_00: And we are in like a little bit longer.
- 41:01SPEAKER_00: We are in such a magical time for Christmas right now with our kids.
- 41:04SPEAKER_00: So it's like I always look forward to Christmas time.
- 41:07SPEAKER_02: There was a moments, years where we would decorate for Christmas, like the day after Halloween, where those, but we would only decorate inside.
- 41:16SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 41:16SPEAKER_02: Not outside.
- 41:17SPEAKER_02: Outside is still do like the weekend of Thanksgiving is when you decorate out.
- 41:21SPEAKER_02: Like after Thanksgiving, you decorate that weekend.
- 41:24SPEAKER_02: If weather looks like it's going to be bad that weekend, you can decorate the week before.
- 41:28SPEAKER_02: I tried to make it out where like I'm born in mid-November.
- 41:32SPEAKER_02: It's always like the week before Thanksgiving.
- 41:35SPEAKER_02: And our daughter's now born two days before I am.
- 41:38SPEAKER_02: It's like if we plan to decorate around our birthdays.
- 41:42SPEAKER_02: Like if she she was into the Grinch.
- 41:43SPEAKER_02: So it's Yeah, we did a Grinch birthday.
- 41:45SPEAKER_02: So we had to decorate Christmas inside ahead of time because it was themed Grinch already.
- 41:50SPEAKER_02: So we had to like get things ready to go for her.
- 41:52SPEAKER_02: Halloween is Halloween has its moments, like you're a kid and trick-or-treating is a lot of fun.
- 41:57SPEAKER_02: And then when you get to like high school, college years, post-college, Halloween parties, freaking blast.
- 42:04SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah.
- 42:05SPEAKER_02: And then there's like a lol.
- 42:06SPEAKER_02: When our first Halloween here, it was nice to do, we had a Halloween party and giving out candy.
- 42:13SPEAKER_02: It's fun to like be on that side of things.
- 42:16SPEAKER_02: But now we're back in it because we're trick-or-treating.
- 42:18SPEAKER_02: Trick-or-treating with our kids.
- 42:20SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 42:20SPEAKER_02: But the only thing I have, like, I want to go and watch our kids trick-or-treat.
- 42:25SPEAKER_02: You want to go watch our kids trick-or-treat.
- 42:27SPEAKER_02: And then we leave our candy for the moments that we go trick-or-treating with our kids.
- 42:33SPEAKER_02: And people don't know how to respect respect the candy.
- 42:38SPEAKER_02: The candy.
- 42:39SPEAKER_02: Like they'll cut, even if I'm standing there anymore, they're ruthless.
- 42:42SPEAKER_02: They'll grab, I'll just be like, oh yeah, take one or I'll be nice and like it's take a few.
- 42:47SPEAKER_02: Take a few.
- 42:48SPEAKER_02: Grab a whole handful.
- 42:50SPEAKER_02: I'm like, I get mad at those kids.
- 42:51SPEAKER_02: I don't say anything, but I'm mad at them.
- 42:54SPEAKER_00: I think next year we should get a ring camera and just put it out by the candy bowl so we can see what all who takes all the candy.
- 43:00SPEAKER_02: I should just hire somebody to pass out the candy.
- 43:03SPEAKER_02: Like hold if you hold it and pass it out, that's when it's like done right.
- 43:07SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 43:07SPEAKER_02: But I like to, you know, let them reach in for themselves.
- 43:10SPEAKER_02: And we're good candy give outers.
- 43:12SPEAKER_02: There's some people that I'm we're not like great candy give outers to mid-tier.
- 43:17SPEAKER_02: Sometimes people that when they give out those large things of candy, like they're giving out an almond joy.
- 43:23SPEAKER_00: I'm like, nobody wants that.
- 43:24SPEAKER_02: No, I'm talking like if they're giving out like full Reese's bars, they must be rolling in the dough.
- 43:28SPEAKER_02: Rolling in the dough.
- 43:29SPEAKER_02: Rolling in the chocolate.
- 43:31SPEAKER_01: Chocolate.
- 43:32SPEAKER_02: And there's also the uh in our neighborhood, we do it on Halloween night in the evening time.
- 43:38SPEAKER_02: There's a house on our sh in our neighborhood that does a haunted house through their um garage.
- 43:45SPEAKER_02: Through their garage, and they come out, they do give out full size candy.
- 43:48SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 43:48SPEAKER_02: Pretty sure that guy's like a popcorn machine.
- 43:51SPEAKER_02: Did they?
- 43:52SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and they deck out their whole front yard with gravestones and they have a they're into it.
- 43:56SPEAKER_02: They're very into Halloween.
- 43:57SPEAKER_02: They would pick that number one.
- 43:58SPEAKER_02: Thanksgiving, I just Like it for the meal.
- 44:01SPEAKER_02: My mom, like, shout out my mom, love her to death.
- 44:04SPEAKER_02: But there was one year that like she tried to have us go around the table of like, what are we all thankful for?
- 44:09SPEAKER_02: A lot of people do that.
- 44:10SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 44:10SPEAKER_02: Like, well, eventually, like then it puts people that are a little camera shy on the spot.
- 44:16SPEAKER_00: And like they want something sentimental, like, I'm thankful for everybody that's in this room.
- 44:19SPEAKER_02: Yeah, there's a lot of repeat statements.
- 44:22SPEAKER_02: Like just maybe one broad person can say, hey.
- 44:26unknown: Yeah.
- 44:26SPEAKER_00: Like neither of us come from like super religious prayer families that do prayer.
- 44:32SPEAKER_00: Does do prayer sometimes, some of the people.
- 44:34SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 44:34SPEAKER_00: My family does not.
- 44:35SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 44:36SPEAKER_02: And it's like for those like 20 seconds, like we don't uh give a blessing, a prayer before our food.
- 44:43SPEAKER_02: And then when we do it, like my family does it around the table.
- 44:46SPEAKER_02: I look at our kids and just see like what how they're responding.
- 44:49SPEAKER_02: It probably looks very cult-like.
- 44:51SPEAKER_00: They do do it at preschool.
- 44:53SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 44:53SPEAKER_00: Tyson did.
- 44:54SPEAKER_00: So nothing against it.
- 44:55SPEAKER_02: I'm just saying, like seeing we don't do it, dude.
- 44:58SPEAKER_02: I have lost my um how I I I haven't memorized it anymore.
- 45:02SPEAKER_02: I've lost that memory.
- 45:04SPEAKER_02: That's in my repertoire.
- 45:05SPEAKER_02: Fourth of July, we just did it.
- 45:06SPEAKER_02: It's great, but like I'm not fireworks, like they're cool, but I don't need it more than a day.
- 45:14unknown: Yeah.
- 45:14SPEAKER_02: And Easter.
- 45:18SPEAKER_00: Boring.
- 45:19SPEAKER_00: Boring.
- 45:21SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 45:22SPEAKER_00: We're gonna do things that could ruin your day.
- 45:25SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 45:27SPEAKER_00: Dead phone with no charger.
- 45:30SPEAKER_02: Oh my gosh.
- 45:31SPEAKER_02: That's I would put that.
- 45:32SPEAKER_02: I feel like there's m worse, so I'm gonna put it number two.
- 45:36SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 45:38SPEAKER_00: Wi-Fi goes out.
- 45:40SPEAKER_02: That'll be three.
- 45:41SPEAKER_02: Because I can do other things.
- 45:43SPEAKER_00: Like coffee spills on a fresh outfit.
- 45:47SPEAKER_02: Now, scenario-wise, if I am somewhere and I can't change a shirt or I have to go purchase a shirt, that would be higher, but I'll put it number five.
- 45:55SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 45:56SPEAKER_00: Flat tire.
- 46:00SPEAKER_02: Four.
- 46:01SPEAKER_02: As long as I have a spare and I have the equipment to change it in my vehicle, I can probably do it.
- 46:06SPEAKER_00: Okay, so the last one has to be number one.
- 46:09SPEAKER_00: Number one, oversleeping your alarm.
- 46:11SPEAKER_00: I feel like you ranked that bad.
- 46:12SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 46:13SPEAKER_02: I wouldn't put that number one.
- 46:15SPEAKER_00: Okay, what would you put oversleeping your alarm?
- 46:17SPEAKER_02: I would put the phone dead.
- 46:20SPEAKER_02: Because it's just like I don't have a house phone.
- 46:23SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 46:23SPEAKER_02: If someone tried to get in touch with me, they can't get in touch with me.
- 46:26SPEAKER_02: Wi-Fi, I would probably move the three.
- 46:28SPEAKER_02: I think I have it at three.
- 46:29SPEAKER_02: I keep it at three.
- 46:30SPEAKER_02: I'd put flat tire at two.
- 46:35SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 46:36SPEAKER_02: What did I have at five?
- 46:38SPEAKER_00: You had at five coffee spills on first.
- 46:41SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I put coffee three and then um oversleeping your alarm five.
- 46:46SPEAKER_02: Oversleeping my alarm alarm five.
- 46:48SPEAKER_02: Because I have more I don't even make an alarm anymore.
- 46:51SPEAKER_02: I more I have an internal clock in me.
- 46:54SPEAKER_02: Unless I want to wake up earlier than I typically do, that's whenever I set an alarm.
- 46:59SPEAKER_02: There was a weird thing that happened maybe six months ago.
- 47:02SPEAKER_02: I think they fixed the bug on iPhones, but I would set alarms and they would never go off.
- 47:09SPEAKER_02: And it's like my biggest fear when you have like a flight, like an early flight.
- 47:12SPEAKER_02: It's like stress.
- 47:19SPEAKER_00: I wasn't, I don't ever set alarms because the kids just wake me up.
- 47:21SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
- 47:22SPEAKER_02: Like they're that's my internal clock anymore.
- 47:25SPEAKER_02: Mom, boom, okay, I'm up.
- 47:26SPEAKER_02: Or they just waltz in the bed with us.
- 47:29SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 47:29SPEAKER_00: My only thing that I would change is I would put flat tire number one.
- 47:33unknown: Yeah.
- 47:33SPEAKER_00: I'm like, that would just ruin my day.
- 47:35SPEAKER_00: I have no clue how to change a tire.
- 47:38SPEAKER_00: I should probably learn.
- 47:39SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 47:40SPEAKER_00: And the last one for you is embarrassing moments.
- 47:43SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 47:44SPEAKER_00: Falling in public.
- 47:46SPEAKER_02: This has happened to me before.
- 47:48SPEAKER_02: I would put that three.
- 47:50SPEAKER_02: It's pretty embarrassing though.
- 47:51SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 47:51SPEAKER_00: Sending a text to the wrong person.
- 47:55SPEAKER_02: It depends on the text.
- 47:56SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it depends on the text.
- 47:57SPEAKER_02: I'm just gonna, if it is a bad text or if it's about that person, I would put that at two.
- 48:02SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 48:02SPEAKER_00: So falling public three, sending a text to the wrong person two.
- 48:05SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 48:07SPEAKER_00: Having bad body odor, but not realizing it until you get home.
- 48:11SPEAKER_02: Oh, that's gotta be one.
- 48:13SPEAKER_02: Like, I'll even know that I have bad body odor, and I'm like, I can't fix the situation.
- 48:24SPEAKER_02: Sorry, I smell bad.
- 48:25SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you gotta warn them.
- 48:26SPEAKER_02: You gotta send a warning, like, yo, yeah, this isn't good.
- 48:31SPEAKER_00: Um introducing someone as the wrong name.
- 48:35SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's I would put that at five.
- 48:38SPEAKER_02: You can easily get around it.
- 48:41SPEAKER_02: Get around it.
- 48:41SPEAKER_02: A little workaround.
- 48:43SPEAKER_00: Um, and then what's your last then?
- 48:45SPEAKER_00: Is it number four?
- 48:46SPEAKER_02: It would be four.
- 48:47SPEAKER_00: Introduce uh walking into the the wrong restroom.
- 48:51SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that would four.
- 48:54SPEAKER_00: I feel like you ranked those pretty good.
- 48:55SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that might be three, but four, just be a quick oops.
- 48:59SPEAKER_00: Body odor number one.
- 49:00SPEAKER_02: I think it's harder for like well, it'd be easier for a woman to tell whether or not they were in the well, actually probably for both ways, because the secret whenever I grew up was like the girls' restroom had couches.
- 49:12SPEAKER_02: Oh, dancing school.
- 49:14SPEAKER_00: Probably didn't I never walked in the one to like know girl most restrooms, women's restrooms do not have couches.
- 49:18SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that was the maybe at Macy's or something.
- 49:21SPEAKER_02: Like at a normal like at a school, everyone was like, the the girls' restroom has a couch in there.
- 49:26SPEAKER_02: Like, why wouldn't you?
- 49:26SPEAKER_00: Was there a couch in your restroom?
- 49:28SPEAKER_00: You never went in there.
- 49:29SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's all.
- 49:30SPEAKER_02: You could probably tell though if you went into the wrong one, if it has how this happened like a month ago, but the guy that was mad at the father that was traveling with his daughters.
- 49:38SPEAKER_00: Oh pish posh to that, maybe.
- 49:41SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 49:42SPEAKER_02: Like, respect to the worker that would like shut the door and was like, I'm so sorry about this.
- 49:45SPEAKER_02: Like, and he's trying to call the cops on him.
- 49:48SPEAKER_02: Like, get out of here.
- 49:49SPEAKER_02: He's with his little kids.
- 49:50SPEAKER_02: Let him.
- 49:52SPEAKER_00: I'm sorry, but Tyson comes into the women's restroom more often than not if he's with me.
- 49:56SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 49:56SPEAKER_00: He's not old enough to go in the men's restroom by himself and me trust that he's gonna wash his hands.
- 50:01SPEAKER_02: And I'm sure that that guy walked in there and sent, like, a hey, father bringing his daughters in to the restroom type of thing.
- 50:07SPEAKER_00: The women are in stalls.
- 50:09SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 50:10SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 50:11SPEAKER_02: And the guy, it's worse, I feel like, if it's the opposite thing.
- 50:13SPEAKER_00: Yeah, because they're in the urinals.
- 50:15SPEAKER_00: Oh, he was in the he was in the men's restroom bringing up.
- 50:17SPEAKER_02: No, he was in the women's restroom taking his daughters, and the guy was mad that his his mom or his wife in a wheelchair needed to get in there, and like both of them were going to the bathroom in the big bathroom.
- 50:29SPEAKER_02: Well, he wasn't going in.
- 50:30SPEAKER_02: Yeah, also, by the way, the guy was in the restroom too because he had the door open and he's yelling at him.
- 50:35SPEAKER_00: I can't with that man.
- 50:36SPEAKER_00: But like that story was bad.
- 50:38SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 50:38SPEAKER_02: But the mom probably was complaining too.
- 50:40SPEAKER_02: There's just bad people.
- 50:42SPEAKER_02: You can't be doing that.
- 50:43SPEAKER_00: No.
- 50:44SPEAKER_02: Like I, yeah.
- 50:45SPEAKER_02: If I had to bring my kids, like my daughter into a men's restroom.
- 50:51SPEAKER_02: Then it would be like pointing.
- 50:53SPEAKER_02: That ain't happening.
- 50:54SPEAKER_02: Like, unless it's like a separated restroom where there's like stalls on one side and urinals on another, and there's like a wall between it.
- 51:01SPEAKER_02: But other than that, either community bathroom that's like the single stall or if I come in for a second, I have a daughter with me.
- 51:08SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 51:09SPEAKER_02: It is what it is.
- 51:11SPEAKER_02: All right.
- 51:11SPEAKER_02: Our next segment.
- 51:13SPEAKER_02: This is VIP table.
- 51:15SPEAKER_02: This, since it's around 4th of July, we're in the summertime.
- 51:19SPEAKER_02: A lot of people are having cookouts, get togethers.
- 51:22SPEAKER_02: We're outside, we're grilling, we're cooking, mixing it up.
- 51:27SPEAKER_02: We're doing the best cookout foods.
- 51:30SPEAKER_02: You can go first.
- 51:31SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 51:32SPEAKER_00: This might be like a local thing, but I'm putting number one strawberry pretzel salad.
- 51:39SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's on the list.
- 51:40SPEAKER_02: It's on the list.
- 51:41SPEAKER_02: That was my actually my only dessert that I have on the list.
- 51:43SPEAKER_00: I can't like not have it.
- 51:45SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's kind of a letdown whenever you go to a party and it's not there.
- 51:50SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 51:51SPEAKER_00: Like I was kind of sad we didn't have it at 4th of July.
- 51:54SPEAKER_02: Well, the other di the other like desserts there, the jello that they had was phenomenal.
- 51:58SPEAKER_02: And the like strawberry shortcake type of dish, that was pretty good.
- 52:01SPEAKER_02: But again, a strawberry pretzel salad.
- 52:03SPEAKER_02: Like when I go to a uh and I think it might just be local, but burgatory, they have the strawberry pretzel salad milkshake.
- 52:13SPEAKER_00: I gotta get that.
- 52:14SPEAKER_02: It's phenomenal.
- 52:16SPEAKER_02: Phenomenal.
- 52:18SPEAKER_02: All right.
- 52:19SPEAKER_02: My first pick, very traditional.
- 52:22SPEAKER_02: Sorry, I'm gonna have to just take it off the board.
- 52:25SPEAKER_02: It is the classic cheeseburger.
- 52:27SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 52:28SPEAKER_02: I need a cheeseburger if I'm outside grilling.
- 52:30SPEAKER_02: That's like a mandatory has gotta have it.
- 52:33SPEAKER_02: Need it.
- 52:33SPEAKER_02: I feel might even double down and make a double cheeseburger.
- 52:36SPEAKER_00: I love, I love cheeseburgers.
- 52:41SPEAKER_02: Sorry.
- 52:42SPEAKER_02: You love them.
- 52:43SPEAKER_02: I love cheeseburger.
- 52:44SPEAKER_02: I love cheeseburgers.
- 52:45SPEAKER_02: No, a like if people if people don't just not saying people are cheap, but if you're just having it for like a couple people, like I'll do it if I know that I'm just serving for a few.
- 52:58SPEAKER_02: I'll get like a nice little brioche bun.
- 53:00SPEAKER_02: And as the cheese is melting on top of the burger on the grill, I'll just throw the throw the bun on top, on the top part of the grill, and then let that thing toast up a little bit.
- 53:12SPEAKER_00: And I love the burgers that have like the cheese and the bacon in them.
- 53:15SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 53:16SPEAKER_02: Those are the best.
- 53:17SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah, yep, yep.
- 53:18SPEAKER_02: Just standard cheeseburger, you can put whatever else you want on it.
- 53:21SPEAKER_02: I wouldn't mind bacon on it.
- 53:23SPEAKER_02: That would be great.
- 53:23SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 53:24SPEAKER_02: Second pick is uh antipasta salad.
- 53:29SPEAKER_02: Like you can't go wrong.
- 53:31SPEAKER_00: You can't, and like people make it all different kinds of ways.
- 53:33SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 53:34SPEAKER_02: Like whenever if you're slicing up a little bit of pepperoni, a little like whatever the meat you decide to put on it in on that, so good.
- 53:43SPEAKER_02: Noodles, like there's nothing in there am I skipping when I'm eating it.
- 53:48SPEAKER_02: I'm not trying to like fizzle out anything, everything's gonna be in my mouth.
- 53:51SPEAKER_00: That is one that I don't pass up, like regardless of who made it.
- 53:54SPEAKER_00: Like sometimes I'm like, who made this?
- 53:56SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 53:56SPEAKER_00: Because I will or will not.
- 53:58SPEAKER_02: And I'm not talking about a like, yeah, yeah.
- 54:00SPEAKER_02: I it's yeah, some people don't know how to make certain things, but that in particular, yeah.
- 54:06SPEAKER_02: Even if I'm to the point, like sometimes how people display their food, like you might have the meat first as you're like filling up the plate, and like you get to the end and it's there, the antipasta salad, it's fitting in, whether it likes it or not.
- 54:21SPEAKER_02: It might have to kind of become neighbors with whatever's next to it.
- 54:25SPEAKER_02: I try to sort it out where it's not getting messy on something, or like when I'm eating it, yeah.
- 54:30SPEAKER_02: It's not like some people do make good I'm not gonna say other dishes, but like if I'm mixing in between certain side dishes, it's okay.
- 54:38SPEAKER_02: But there's certain side dishes like that can't touch anything.
- 54:41SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 54:42SPEAKER_00: I get that.
- 54:43SPEAKER_02: You're like Yeah, that needs to fit on the plate.
- 54:46SPEAKER_02: And most of the time, if I'm making a second plate, that's hitting the second plate.
- 54:50SPEAKER_02: Both actually the cheeseburger and the antipasta salad.
- 54:53SPEAKER_00: All right, am I up?
- 54:54SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 54:55SPEAKER_02: You got two.
- 54:56SPEAKER_00: Two.
- 54:56SPEAKER_00: Okay.

- 54:59SPEAKER_00: Classic.
- 55:00SPEAKER_00: You took the cheeseburger, I'm doing the hot dog.
- 55:02SPEAKER_00: I do not like bratwurst.
- 55:04SPEAKER_00: That's not on the list.
- 55:06SPEAKER_00: It's just a classic hot dog, full bun length.
- 55:10SPEAKER_02: I like them when they're like a little bit thicker.
- 55:13SPEAKER_02: Like the jalapeno.
- 55:14SPEAKER_00: I don't like them super thick.
- 55:15SPEAKER_00: I just want like a normal.
- 55:16SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I like the jalapeno, like a nice little jalapeno cheddar hot dog.
- 55:19SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 55:20SPEAKER_00: You know when someone gets the jumbo hot dogs, I'm like, that's too much hot dog.
- 55:23SPEAKER_00: I just I want to be able to take a couple of things.
- 55:24SPEAKER_02: I've got a nice little, like, I'm at the turn golfing.
- 55:26SPEAKER_02: I need a nice little glizzy.
- 55:28SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 55:29SPEAKER_02: Are you a mustard person?
- 55:30SPEAKER_02: Are you a relish?
- 55:31SPEAKER_00: I like ketchup and mustard, but your mom did a trick, I think like maybe a couple years ago, we had a cookout at our house, which kind of turned me on to this.
- 55:40SPEAKER_00: And it also is my next my next cookout dish.
- 55:44SPEAKER_00: She put mustard potato salad in the inside of her hot dog.
- 55:49SPEAKER_00: Wow.
- 55:49SPEAKER_02: Revolutionary.
- 55:50SPEAKER_00: So my number three pick is mustard potato salad, specifically the one from Aldi.
- 55:55SPEAKER_02: Mustard potato salad mustard.
- 55:56SPEAKER_02: Not just potato salad.
- 55:57SPEAKER_00: And it's like, I don't want the homemade potato salads.
- 56:00SPEAKER_00: Those are always nasty.
- 56:01SPEAKER_00: It's mustard potato salad from Aldi.
- 56:03SPEAKER_02: It has like And it's not grandma's mustard potato salad.
- 56:07SPEAKER_00: Well, the grandma's one from like a giant eagle isn't that bad.
- 56:09SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 56:10SPEAKER_02: It's not my favorite.
- 56:11SPEAKER_02: Could be Kroger soon enough.
- 56:12SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 56:13SPEAKER_02: Good picks.
- 56:14SPEAKER_02: I knew you were going to pick mustard potato salad.
- 56:16SPEAKER_02: It wasn't even on my list.
- 56:17SPEAKER_00: I hope you don't take my last pick.
- 56:19SPEAKER_02: All right.
- 56:19SPEAKER_02: I have two.
- 56:21SPEAKER_02: I'm going to go with like this is a staple at a high school reunion at a like a large get together.

- 56:35SPEAKER_02: No, yeah, you your dad doesn't like it.
- 56:37SPEAKER_02: And he said, take it off the list.
- 56:39SPEAKER_02: It's on this list.
- 56:40SPEAKER_02: It's cheesy potatoes.
- 56:42SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 56:43SPEAKER_02: I I can have that.
- 56:46SPEAKER_02: That is something we were in the other segment about breakfast, food, dinner foods.
- 56:51SPEAKER_02: That's something that could be breakfast.
- 56:53SPEAKER_02: And it could be superior.
- 56:54SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 56:55SPEAKER_02: So good.
- 56:56SPEAKER_02: I prefer.
- 56:57SPEAKER_02: You like to buy like the frozen hash browns and then make it.
- 57:01SPEAKER_02: I like it where you get like the cubed potatoes.
- 57:05SPEAKER_02: There were like a high school reunion when I was in high school.
- 57:10SPEAKER_02: I haven't really frequented much.
- 57:14SPEAKER_02: Like, you know, there's like wedding crashers in the orchid.
- 57:16SPEAKER_00: High school reunion crashers.

- 57:20SPEAKER_02: There was a place called DD's back in the day that made the best cheesy potatoes.
- 57:26SPEAKER_02: And my last pick.
- 57:30SPEAKER_02: You know, I gotta do it.
- 57:32SPEAKER_02: We had it for this one.
- 57:34SPEAKER_02: Ribs.
- 57:35SPEAKER_00: Oh, okay, good.
- 57:36SPEAKER_02: Like me a nice little rib.
- 57:38SPEAKER_00: I only eat ribs like once a year.
- 57:40SPEAKER_00: So I don't eat them frequently, but they are good when I have them.
- 57:43SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 57:44SPEAKER_02: Like it if you make them correctly and you could just grab the bone and it just comes right off.
- 57:51SPEAKER_02: Don't mess up.
- 57:52SPEAKER_02: You can't mess it up.
- 57:54SPEAKER_02: And I don't know who cooked them, whether it was your mom or your dad, or they co-opt on the cookie.
- 57:59SPEAKER_02: The tag teamed it.
- 57:59SPEAKER_02: Tag teamed it.
- 58:00SPEAKER_02: Outstanding.

- 58:02SPEAKER_02: And then she like gave us some to go back.
- 58:06SPEAKER_02: Even like reheated.
- 58:07SPEAKER_02: It's delicious for it.
- 58:08SPEAKER_02: I I don't mind if they're dry, but like I even had to go and get some like different barbecue sauces.
- 58:17SPEAKER_02: Like I don't really know what's like the good sauces.
- 58:20SPEAKER_02: Like Mission Barbecue was at the wedding we went to, we worked at a few weeks ago.
- 58:25SPEAKER_02: I like put a little bit of each on.
- 58:29SPEAKER_02: On it wasn't a good one.
- 58:30SPEAKER_00: I forgot to do the sauces and I was kind of mad at myself.
- 58:33SPEAKER_02: Really good.
- 58:34SPEAKER_02: Really good.
- 58:34SPEAKER_02: All right.
- 58:35SPEAKER_02: Your last pick.
- 58:35SPEAKER_00: My last pick, deviled egg.
- 58:37SPEAKER_00: Oh, a deviled egg.
- 58:38SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
- 58:39SPEAKER_00: I know if it's there, it better be worried because I'm coming.
- 58:42SPEAKER_00: I'm coming for it.
- 58:43SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 58:44SPEAKER_00: At least two.
- 58:45SPEAKER_00: I like I get sad when it's only like one per person.
- 58:48SPEAKER_00: I'm like, Yeah.
- 58:49SPEAKER_02: Well, like you're you try to be nice and get one and let everyone go through.
- 58:54SPEAKER_02: You go, and then I'll go back through the line.
- 58:56SPEAKER_02: Like this happened actually at your uh parents' house.
- 58:59SPEAKER_02: Went back in the line to get ribs and more honeypasta salad.
- 59:02SPEAKER_02: There's no cheeseburgers.
- 59:03SPEAKER_02: I would have got that too.
- 59:04SPEAKER_02: But there was only one deviled egg left.
- 59:06SPEAKER_02: And I didn't want to be the last one.
- 59:08SPEAKER_00: Probably because I took four.
- 59:09SPEAKER_02: Oh my gosh.
- 59:10SPEAKER_02: I just took one, one and one, and I'm done.
- 59:13SPEAKER_02: Not saying they're but bad, but I like know how popular they are.
- 59:16SPEAKER_02: It's a good pick.
- 59:17SPEAKER_02: I feel like that's more of like an like a holiday of like Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas.
- 59:22SPEAKER_02: And cookouts.
- 59:23SPEAKER_02: Yeah, cookouts too, I guess you can say.
- 59:26SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 59:27SPEAKER_02: My other picks I had that uh did not make it.
- 59:31SPEAKER_02: I didn't have much.
- 59:33SPEAKER_02: I uh I've had beer as a good cookout dish.
- 59:36SPEAKER_02: Good, good uh cookout.
- 59:38SPEAKER_00: I had mac and cheese, but it depends on who makes it.
