Episode 18: All The Missing Girls By Megan Miranda Review/PA Dumb Crimes & Laws/What A Week · This Is My Circus

0:00
Hey, I'm Stephanie.
0:01
And I am Meredith.
0:02
And welcome to This is my Circus Girl.
0:07
Well, I always feel like when, when we do that intro, like.
0:11
I'm waiting on you to stop and say welcome to, and I'm gonna be like, this is my circus, or, so I don't know why that's always in my head.
0:18
I've had a pretty eventful week.
0:21
Mm-hmm.
0:22
so we recorded last Monday.
0:25
Mm-hmm.
0:25
And right after we recorded, so with my job doing some restructuring, my position was eliminated.
0:31
Yeah.
0:31
Oh no.
0:32
Yeah.
0:33
Did they give you like notice or they were just like peace out?
0:37
Yeah, so they gave me notice on like, um, a meeting popped up like 15 minutes before, like, you have a meeting with HR and=the ceo and I was like, not good.
0:47
That doesn't sound good.
0:48
No, not good.
0:49
Can I just not go to the meeting if I don't go to the meeting?
0:52
Will that, um, allow me to not.
0:55
Gosh.
0:55
Um, and I've been through this before with other companies I've worked for, uh, I'm in software and apparently with that there's just a lot of shift always, whether it be, the, the company getting sold or.
1:09
Just changes in, they just always wanna redefine like leadership and all that kind of stuff.
1:14
So anyway, I'm in the market for a new position.
1:18
Oh my gosh.
1:19
You can find me on LinkedIn.
1:21
Um, um, but I've got some feelers out there and it's gonna be okay.
1:27
I did get a severance package, so that was a good thing to give me a little bit of time to find something.
1:34
Um, does Rex hear my voice?
1:35
And he's so excited.
1:36
He does, and he is going crazy.
1:38
Hey Rex.
1:39
He's like on his belly, like going like this.
1:42
Um, so anyway, that was on Monday.
1:44
Um, and it sucks.
1:45
I mean, there's no way about it.
1:47
You know?
1:47
I wanna work.
1:48
I need to work.
1:49
Yeah.
1:49
Um, I enjoy being productive and I enjoy being.
1:53
You know, a contributing member of society and again, need to work.
1:57
Um, so that was Monday on Tuesday.
2:00
A a friend actually passed away.
2:02
I think you and I had texted about this.
2:04
a lady in our community, who has sons that are rising, freshmen and juniors Yes.
2:10
Have been battling, breast cancer for seven years.
2:14
Yes.
2:14
So her youngest son is Jackson's age, and I think Dylan had played lacrosse with him before, so, mm-hmm.
2:21
She put up a hell of a fight.
2:22
Yeah.
2:22
I mean, she really did.
2:24
She had everything she could.
2:26
but we do know that she's, you know, not in any pain anymore.
2:29
She's able to do things that she hadn't been able to do in years cause her body is whole now.
2:35
that's my belief.
2:36
So last week was a pretty crappy week.
2:38
Yeah.
2:38
With that said, I know you weren't feeling well.
2:41
Mine actually, my, my funk actually got into my chest a little bit as well, like the end of last week you said you weren't feeling well.
2:48
Did you have chest stuff going on, or, well, I don't know.
2:50
I, I thought, I started out thinking it was just allergies.
2:53
you know, cuz like this time of year everything's blooming and, and everybody's cutting their grass and whatnot and I'm allergic to like, Outdoors, period.
3:04
Um, so I, it was a Wednesday, and I went upstairs.
3:09
I was like, I'm gonna go lay down.
3:09
And I never nap during the day.
3:11
Like I am not a napper.
3:13
I, like, am lucky if I get, I think I told you, like I, I get like, yeah, 25 hours of sleep a week, period.
3:19
Oh, do it.
3:20
Um, uh, so I laid down and, I slept for a couple hours.
3:23
I fell right asleep, which never happens either.
3:26
I woke up a couple hours later, Dylan was gonna go sleep at a friend's house, so I, you know, got up, drove him to his friend's house, and as soon as I came home, Laid back down.
3:34
It was like seven 30.
3:35
I didn't wake up until like seven 30 the next morning.
3:38
oh my gosh.
3:39
I know.
3:40
Which was my birthday.
3:41
I was gonna say, that's terrible, Steph.
3:43
So I was trying to catch up on some stuff cuz I had, you know, missed.
3:48
Most of the day before working.
3:50
Yeah.
3:50
I couldn't eat anything.
3:51
Like I had no appetite.
3:52
my head was just like pounding.
3:54
I felt like my head was gonna explode.
3:56
Um, but we did start, Juicing, like I think we touched on this last week.
4:00
Mm-hmm.
4:01
so I had read that like, you can almost get like a juicing flu, um, because of like the toxins and stuff coming out of your body.
4:09
So I don't know if it was part of that, or if it was allergies that just hit really bad.
4:15
but it lasted like another day.
4:17
Now, are you just strictly juicing or are you also eating food as well?
4:21
No, no, no.
4:21
Like I and I, again, I don't eat breakfast.
4:23
so I juice every morning, um, in place of a breakfast.
4:28
Dylan and Brandon are both drinking it as well.
4:31
So no whole foods?
4:33
I don't eat junk food that much anyway.
4:34
I mean, like, I like, this is like my weakness, my Yeah.
4:37
Caffeine.
4:38
But like, I don't eat a lot of junk food, um, because of like my dietary restrictions anyway.
4:44
Yeah.
4:45
You would think I'd be like a lot thinner.
4:47
Quit it.
4:48
You're perfect.
4:50
Oh my God, you're the cutest size ever.
4:52
But like, I can't eat so much stuff because of the gluten intolerance and other stuff.
4:58
So, most of my diet is Whole Foods for the most part.
5:01
So there's not a big change for me.
5:03
Uh oh.
5:04
Juice and flu.
5:06
I've never heard of that.
5:08
Yeah.
5:08
I guess cuz like all the toxins and stuff that like are, are in your body.
5:12
probably from, that makes sense from this, from Cel Peach vibe, but we'll still take you as a sponsor Celsius.
5:22
Um.
5:23
So what have you found that you've been juicing that you really liked?
5:25
Did you find like a specific combo or something that you really found that you were into?
5:29
I just throwing everything in there and actually Dylan's been been doing things.
5:32
He's like, this is so satisfying.
5:33
Watching like, the machine.
5:36
Yeah.
5:36
Um, whatever I have, I just throw it in there.
5:39
Um, but we've been doing a lot of like.
5:40
Kale, spinach, celery.
5:42
Mm-hmm.
5:43
Cucumbers.
5:44
And then of course, like the fruit.
5:45
Uh, well, pineapple, like I love pineapple's.
5:48
Probably the Oh yeah.
5:48
Fruit.
5:49
Yeah.
5:49
So, I do that almost every drink that we make, um, watermelon because it's in season.
5:54
And me.
5:55
Yeah.
5:56
Oh my God.
5:56
I love watermelon.
5:57
Me too.
5:58
I love watermelon.
5:59
So, but it's been going really good.
6:01
Like the, the machine we got is awesome.
6:03
It's like, you know, easy to clean, super fast.
6:06
And, did we link that We didn't, but I'll send you the, the info.
6:09
Okay.
6:10
Um, but we'll get that done.
6:11
Yeah.
6:12
Well the one I wanted was like the NAMA J or whatever, and it's like$550 or something like that.
6:18
Like that's insane.
6:19
I found one that somebody had recommended in like a juicing group.
6:23
And it was only like a hundred and I think 40, 35,$40 or something like that.
6:28
Yeah.
6:29
So it was, and mine's just like a Hamilton Beach, something like, it's not a fancy thing, but it gets the job done.
6:34
Yeah.
6:35
And they have an excellent warranty cuz they've already replaced the whole thing one time for me.
6:38
Oh wow.
6:39
That's awesome.
6:40
Yeah, this one I think had a two year warranty.
6:42
Um, but a lady that owned like a juicing bar or something, Had recommended this juicer like two years ago.
6:48
it works great.
6:49
I really like it and at the price point it was definitely way more affordable.
6:54
Awesome.
6:55
Yeah, send me that link.
6:56
I'll get all that stuff in there for sure.
6:57
Speaking of links.
6:58
I know you and I had chatted.
7:00
I can't find the Matt Rife stuff.
7:01
Me either.
7:02
And there's like no time, it just says today.
7:04
so I went on YouTube, like when we were texting this morning, and um mm-hmm.
7:08
Found his previous one from 2021.
7:11
I didn't watch much of it.
7:12
I just watched like the first like couple minutes just to see if there was info, how they shared it.
7:16
Mm-hmm.
7:16
Um, but there wasn't, so I, I, maybe it'll just like pop up on his YouTube.
7:20
I don't know, maybe.
7:22
So we're not gonna share an event, just for that, which of course this is.
7:26
Going to be tomorrow, so Tuesday when this drops.
7:30
But yeah, the last one, showed his early, like the first little bit of it showed his like early comedy days, like, you know, 12 years ago, whatever, when he was just a little baby, little baby Maddie rife.
7:42
He was on like Wild and out or something.
7:44
Like I've been seeing all those clips of what he's done.
7:48
He didn't even like tag him in it.
7:49
I was watching the clip of it and I was like, is that him?
7:52
Yeah.
7:53
Yeah.
7:54
Tom has definitely worked in his favor for sure.
7:57
He does that all the time.
7:58
He's like, I just became this.
8:00
Yeah.
8:01
I didn't look like this before.
8:02
Yeah, he's so hilarious.
8:05
He's hilarious.
8:05
I can't wait to watch it.
8:06
I need some laughter in my life.
8:08
Oh, for sure.
8:09
After this week.
8:09
Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry.
8:11
Yeah.
8:11
Uh, yeah.
8:12
Thank you.
8:12
You know, it's life.
8:14
Yeah, it really is.
8:14
It's, it sucks.
8:16
We all go through phases when things just, yeah.
8:19
Don't fall the way we need them to.
8:21
Um, and it's just trying to pull yourself up by your bootstraps and move on.
8:27
Well, so.
8:28
speaking of like your comeback, which is coming, uh, so I've been listening to Rock Your Comeback and like Yeah.
8:35
Like I'm obsessed with it now.
8:36
Like, I love that podcast.
8:38
Like she good.
8:39
Yeah.
8:39
So the, her first like 10 episodes or whatever is her actually reading her first book.
8:45
Okay, so she reads the whole thing.
8:47
Oh.
8:48
So you can actually, I started most recent and was going backwards.
8:52
I usually do it the way that you, you in chronological order, but Okay.
8:56
I'll have to, to switch my settings.
8:57
Yeah, so I, I, she's super cool.
9:00
I'm past like the first 10 episodes, but like I'm into like the, the more motivational stuff now, which her book was awesome.
9:05
I love her vibe.
9:06
I think she'd be such a, like, cool girl to meet.
9:08
Um, so yeah, I know that we had talked about interviewing her or whatever, and I think she actually.
9:15
Invited us or she said that we should come to her her next book launch, which is super cool.
9:20
Very, very.
9:21
I'm not that important of a person to like go to that kind of stuff.
9:25
Same.
9:26
But what's so funny about her is she is stunning and she is so put together.
9:31
Yeah.
9:31
So I think we had said when we first started talking that she was like the anti-US or whatever.
9:37
Yeah.
9:37
It's like a little intimidating.
9:38
And we're talking about Nicole Eaton.
9:39
Yeah.
9:39
Yes.
9:40
Um, but.
9:41
To hear her speak.
9:43
You get a just a cool girlfriend vibe from her.
9:46
Yeah.
9:47
Yeah.
9:47
Not super down to earth.
9:49
Yes.
9:50
I just not like the haughty, judgmental that you might think when you see a, you know, a beautiful blonde, blonde.
9:56
Yeah.
9:57
I.
9:58
Yeah, the anti this, this is what I look like when I wake up.
10:01
Y'all we're the wish version of her.
10:06
Well, speaking of looking like when you just woke up.
10:08
So I took Jackson to football.
10:10
It's nine 15 ish Eastern time here, Eastern, because we have listeners all over the world.
10:16
Hey, um, there was, there was listeners in like Tokyo.
10:19
I know it's crazy.
10:20
They were probably like, what is this?
10:22
Um, well, for the, the other three of you that are listening, y'all are, I'm just kidding.
10:29
So I took Jackson to football at seven and I came home and did some stuff, watered some of my flowers and blah, blah, blah.
10:34
I got the, uh, load of laundry done and I was like, I'm just gonna lay down for a minute.
10:39
So calls like you not feeling great.
10:42
Um, so laid down and I texted you.
10:44
I was like, I better get this done before the day gets away from me.
10:47
Cause I know mm-hmm.
10:48
You have stuff to do to get this pushed out.
10:50
So I texted you and then you responded back.
10:53
I was literally in the bed in PJ's, like still like comfy, comfy PJ's like this, less than that.
11:02
Cause there was no bra, no hat, no hair was crazy.
11:08
And um, I was like, 10 minutes.
11:11
And when you said Yeah, I was like, oh God.
11:13
So I got up, I did my little bubble hair thing that, that's so easy to do.
11:17
And I threw on my saint makeup.
11:20
Mm-hmm.
11:21
I didn't even get that far.
11:23
Well, I just, I'm meet my sister in a little bit, so I was like, oh, I'll just go ahead and, and do it now.
11:29
And now.
11:29
Well, if that's what you look like in 10 minutes, girl, you are.
11:33
It's that same makeup.
11:34
I swear.
11:35
I, I love that stuff.
11:36
Yeah.
11:37
Did we link that one?
11:38
I think we did, right?
11:39
Yeah.
11:39
Mm-hmm.
11:40
Okay, cool.
11:40
Yeah, I love that stuff.
11:41
It's just so easy to, to throw it on.
11:43
It tells you exactly where everything goes and it's one layer.
11:46
It's not multi.
11:48
Um, and, uh, but I think I needed a little pick me up today.
11:52
And sometimes just put on a little summer dress or put on some makeup, make you feel a little bit better.
11:58
Um, Yeah, I didn't, I'm not getting that far.
12:01
And that's okay.
12:02
If I was doing my regular work, I wouldn't, but I just felt like I needed to, you know, sometimes just to be more productive, you've gotta Yeah.
12:09
Amp it up a little bit.
12:10
So, I wanted to ask you though, about this book.
12:14
Okay.
12:15
Did you get through it?
12:16
I didn't.
12:17
Okay.
12:18
So the book this week, um, was All the Missing Girls?
12:25
Yep.
12:26
Megan Miranda.
12:27
Megan Miranda.
12:27
Okay.
12:28
so I listened to it.
12:30
A day.
12:31
Like I wouldn't say it's my favorite book, but I didn't mind it.
12:33
I liked it.
12:34
You were okay with it?
12:35
Yeah.
12:35
Can you read had I had some issues with like, the characters.
12:39
Okay.
12:39
But, I got through it.
12:41
Okay.
12:42
So, do you have the blurb?
12:43
I do.
12:44
Yeah.
12:45
It's been 10 years since Nicolette Ferrell left her rural hometown.
12:48
After her best friend, Corin disappeared from Cooley Ridge without a trace back again to tie up loose ends and care for her ailing father Nick is soon plunged into a shocking drama that re awakens Corinne's case and breaks open old wounds.
13:02
Long since stitched the decade old investigation focused on Nick, her brother Daniel, boyfriend Tyler, and Corrine's boyfriend Jackson.
13:10
Since then, only Nick has left Cooley Ridge.
13:12
Daniel and his wife Laura are expecting a baby.
13:15
Jackson works at the Town Bar and Tyler is dating Analise Carter, Nick's younger neighbor, and the group's alibi the night Corrine disappeared.
13:25
Then within days of Nick's returning, Analise goes missing, told backwards day 15 to day one from the time Analise goes missing.
13:34
Nick works to unravel the truth about her younger neighbor's disappearance, revealing shocking truths about her friend, her family, and what really happened to Corrine the night.
13:44
10 years ago, she went missing.
13:46
Like nothing you've ever read before.
13:47
All the missing girls delivers in all the right ways with twists and turns that lead down dark alleys and dead ends.
13:54
You may think you're walking a familiar path, but then Megan Miranda turns it all upside down and inside out and leaves us wondering just how far we would be willing to protect the ones that we love.
14:07
Okay.
14:08
so I was doing the audiobook on, um, I can't remember.
14:12
Libby, one of our favorites and It kept losing me.
14:15
So I would get like 20% into the book every time.
14:18
And then be like, wait a minute, I have no clue what just happened.
14:21
So I re-listened, like price, um, trying to get to a good spot.
14:26
And so it just never clicked with me.
14:29
I don't know if it was the, Characters were lacking in my head and nothing stood out to make them.
14:36
I don't know what it was.
14:38
I don't know if it was the, the times, the way that the order of the book.
14:42
Mm-hmm.
14:43
Um, because I did read some reviews where other people were saying that that was kind of lost on them.
14:48
I think I do better with times when I'm actually looking at the book.
14:51
I absorb it better when I'm just listening to it.
14:54
Yeah.
14:54
I've noticed that since I've been doing more audio books.
14:56
When it does a time thing, And I think probably cause I'm multitasking.
14:59
Yeah.
14:59
Um, and anyway, so I, the, I finally stopped listening to it yesterday and I was like 75% of the way through the book and I was like, I'm just not.
15:10
Feeling it.
15:10
And yesterday was the celebration of life for Kathy mm-hmm.
15:14
That I went to.
15:14
And I was like, life is too short to listen to a bad book.
15:17
And I just stopped it.
15:20
So, um, I I have no clue.
15:23
I, I get the general premise.
15:24
I, I, I understand like Nick and, you know, whatever, but.
15:28
I just could not follow it.
15:30
Okay.
15:30
So I did get lost a couple times because of the way that the book is written from, it's like going backwards.
15:35
Right.
15:36
so that was very confusing.
15:39
Besides the 15 days going backwards trying to find her right.
15:42
Annalise disappeared too.
15:44
Then you also had going back and forth from 10 years ago to present day.
15:48
Yeah.
15:48
So it was confusing on that aspect of it.
15:52
I did not expect the ending, okay.
15:56
Of how it, how it did end.
15:57
but I did not like the character development.
16:02
Of Nick.
16:04
Um mm-hmm.
16:05
I thought she was very, like she contradicted herself a lot like her character.
16:09
Mm-hmm.
16:10
Um, so I don't know.
16:13
It, it was okay.
16:14
So was the, was the ending a maze balls?
16:16
Like, do I need to go back and listen to it?
16:18
It wasn't like super amazing, um mm-hmm.
16:21
But it definitely wasn't what I thought it was gonna be.
16:23
I thought that the dad was gonna be Yeah, like this, like weirdo.
16:27
That like attacked her friends?
16:29
No, but it Okay.
16:31
So not him.
16:32
Yeah.
16:33
Yeah, I mean, I, it's not my favorite book.
16:34
I'd probably give it like a six, maybe five.
16:37
Okay.
16:38
But, um, just because it's, it was totally not what I was expecting for the ending to be.
16:42
Right.
16:42
Um, so I did like the, the twist, but the timeline thing does get confusing.
16:47
Yeah.
16:47
Um, uh, it's got it got me this time for real.
16:50
Yeah.
16:50
And that's okay.
16:51
I mean, like, everybody's talking like all the books, so.
16:53
Right, right.
16:54
Um, but speaking of books, I have got a huge issue.
16:58
Okay.
16:59
With, um, Frieda McFadden, who was the one that we read that was exactly like, Yeah.
17:05
Okay.
17:06
So on a lot of the podcasts I listen to, or like, she's like the queen of Thriller.
17:11
Well, and I'm like, okay, well I'm gonna give her another chance.
17:13
I listen to, yeah.
17:14
Every two days or so, I finish a book like audiobook.
17:19
Like, okay, I'm gonna do it.
17:21
I'm gonna listen to her again.
17:22
So I read the wife upstairs.
17:25
I am so very, uh, it was.
17:28
I've wondered about that.
17:29
It was exactly like that.
17:33
I mean, from the meeting the husband, right at the beginning of the book to the, I mean like, and I'm like, this lady, like what?
17:42
Like what is going on and how is that, like how is she getting away with that without being included?
17:47
Like how was everybody like raving about her?
17:49
Right.
17:50
I'm so mad, especially with how big Colleen Hoover is that wrote Verity and that was a.
17:56
Huge book.
17:57
Yeah.
17:58
Um, so I don't know.
18:00
That's crazy.
18:01
I just downloaded this one.
18:02
Which sounds like another book.
18:05
what was it?
18:06
Want to know a secret?
18:08
So that's the next one.
18:09
So I've read the, this like little blurb about it.
18:11
Mm-hmm.
18:12
Which sounded so much like that movie Blake Lively was in?
18:16
all I can think of is a sisterhood of Traveling Pants.
18:18
A Simple Favor.
18:19
Yeah.
18:21
So a simple favor.
18:22
So now I'm like, I wanna know, is everything that this chick has written, I say that loosely.
18:29
Yeah.
18:29
Um, just pure plagiarism.
18:32
Yeah.
18:33
How is she getting away with that?
18:35
For real?
18:36
I don't know, but like, that's crazy.
18:38
I'm like on a mission to figure you're gonna take her down.
18:43
So I'm actually reading something else since I dropped that one.
18:46
I was like, I gotta have something else.
18:47
So I am reading the vanishing hour and it's by.
18:52
Sarah Feena, Nova Glass and it's pretty interesting.
18:55
It actually is a lot of, um, people, you know, people going missing, trying to figure out why, how so?
19:02
It does ResSem That's probably why it popped up.
19:04
Cause it sounds a lot like the, What was it that we just read that I've bailed on?
19:09
Um, oh, all the missing girls.
19:12
Yeah, all the missing girls.
19:12
It sounds a lot like, you know, that I could see where they would be quote related, because they're missing vanishing people, so it's not bad.
19:20
It's pretty interesting, actually.
19:22
I'm reading it and apparently I have a attention span of a two year old, so apparently if I can, you guys can too.
19:31
We've talked about my, my a d d I might have undiagnosed or self-diagnosed.
19:38
Um, I was diagnosed like three times in my life with it.
19:42
Yeah.
19:42
Like legit three times from doctors.
19:48
But Brittany Spears has a book coming out.
19:50
Yes.
19:51
Okay.
19:51
I can't wait for that.
19:53
So I am like so conflicted.
19:55
I keep seeing all this stuff with her and you know, like I love Brittany.
19:58
Yeah.
19:59
I've been forever.
20:00
Um, and I am like scared for her.
20:03
Like if, oh yeah, this stuff is true.
20:05
where is she?
20:07
Yeah.
20:07
so I watched, I don't know what TikTok and the guy like, broke down, the last couple of, um, Instagram videos.
20:13
Right, right, right.
20:14
And like her teeth doesn't, like, her teeth has like gaps in it now.
20:17
Like she's never had gaps in her teeth like, so they think it's like this imposter, or they think it's an ai, version of her, everything's been done in front of a green screen or like stuff like this goes, nothing outta the background.
20:31
in the same video, like a, like a.
20:33
You know, thing of flowers in the garden, like just disappears in the middle of the video where she's dancing.
20:39
Like there's such weird stuff.
20:41
Now I'm gonna have to go troll her and stuff for a little bit.
20:44
Well, and that's why I like, sucked into like, you know, I go into like black holes.
20:47
Yeah.
20:48
I got nothing else to do right now.
20:51
I got plenty to do, but I, I was like, you know, I'll be like, you know, listening to whatever, like the face videos and like, they just keep going and then it's like, yeah.
20:59
Brittany Spear, Spears missing, and I'm like, okay, now I'm like, need to know.
21:02
Yeah.
21:03
Where Brittany is.
21:03
Well, they've been saying that for a long time.
21:05
That like her dude, was it her dude, her manager?
21:08
A little bit of both.
21:08
Are they the same person?
21:09
But I dunno, her, her husband that she married, that was her manager.
21:14
Is that, uh, okay.
21:16
I wasn't sure of the exact, of the exact linkage there, but, um, but yeah, that he's hiding her or she's dead.
21:23
I don't know all this stuff.
21:25
Yeah.
21:25
So, yeah.
21:26
Crazy.
21:26
They had her wedding picture up and like it doesn't even look like her and her wedding picture.
21:30
So I don't know.
21:31
Really?
21:31
Yeah, it's just, I don't know.
21:32
Okay.
21:32
I hope she's okay.
21:34
Yeah.
21:35
I'm gonna go down that rabbit hole for sure.
21:36
Yeah.
21:37
I can't wait to read her book.
21:38
Yeah it said that, that like, you know, like when her and, Justin Timberlake broke up, like, you know, yeah.
21:43
Like that was her downfall.
21:45
So now they're saying that I guess when.
21:49
She like the conservative ship was done away with.
21:51
Yeah.
21:51
And she started writing this book.
21:54
He was trying to get a meeting with her because she was gonna do a tell-all on their breakup.
21:58
And it wasn't her that was cheating, it was him that was cheating.
22:02
And oh, he like went on like, you know, the big tour of she was this horrible person that broke his heart and.
22:11
According to what I heard on Facebook, allegedly.
22:15
Yeah.
22:16
Throw that in there.
22:17
yeah.
22:18
It was him that was like the dog.
22:21
Okay.
22:22
I, yeah, I, I'll definitely be into that one.
22:24
Yeah.
22:25
So I am like all about it when it comes out.
22:27
Like I totally wanna read it.
22:29
I will have to check the date, the release date, and put it on our, our, I feel it was like October or something, I think, but Oh, that's really not as far away as I think it is.
22:38
No, it's like two and a half months.
22:41
Yeah I can't wait to see what she says.
22:44
Yeah.
22:44
Um, now our next book is Carnegie's, made by Marie Benedict.
22:49
Yes, I know nothing about this same, we'll see what, what we got going on with that.
22:55
Hopefully I make it through and hopefully it's not crap, Anna.
23:00
Hopefully it's not plagiarism.
23:02
Hopefully it's not plagiarism.
23:03
Hopefully it doesn't make us, you know.
23:07
Angry and terrified and sad all at the same time.
23:10
And hopefully it keeps my attention span of whatever I got going on these days.
23:16
Uh, well, you know, and, still send some book or accommodations in.
23:22
We'd love to get those.
23:23
Seriously.
23:24
Yes.
23:24
Don't think, oh, they've got a lot of recs.
23:26
They don't wanna hear what I say.
23:27
We wanna hear.
23:28
Yeah.
23:28
We wanna hear every single one.
23:29
Yes.
23:30
We like to read.
23:31
Um, Yes, please, please, please.
23:34
what else?
23:35
This, this week or was Pennsylvania for our crimes?
23:39
It was, do you want this?
23:41
Sure.
23:41
Was to go first.
23:43
crime or law?
23:44
Let's start with laws.
23:46
Let's shake it up a little.
23:48
Oh, I like shaking it up.
23:49
Um, like a.
23:51
Something on the rocks.
23:52
Salt shaker.
23:53
Yes.
23:55
Look, there's literally one right in front of me cuz I'm sitting at the kitchen table and that didn't even come to mind.
24:00
I was thinking of on the rocks.
24:03
I was thinking like a little John, like shaking like a salt shaker.
24:08
Perfect.
24:08
See now you're going into the musical.
24:11
Uh, at least.
24:12
Nevermind.
24:12
I'm stopping.
24:13
Um, okay.
24:14
Uh, fireworks stores cannot sell fireworks to the residence of Pennsylvania.
24:19
That's true actually, cuz when I was going up there, um, yeah, they have fireworks stores, but you need an out-of-state license to buy the fireworks.
24:27
Yeah.
24:27
I was gonna ask you since that is where you're from.
24:30
Yeah, that's so, that's legit.
24:32
Yeah.
24:33
so my brother like, would bring me to the fireworks store cause I had had a state license.
24:37
Yeah, that's perfect.
24:40
That's perfect.
24:41
Um, yeah, so that's, that's still legit thing.
24:44
Um, all right.
24:45
And Newton, Pennsylvania.
24:47
I have no clue where that is.
24:48
No man may purchase alcohol without written consent from his wife.
24:52
Oh Lord, that's funny.
24:55
Uh, you know, I'm glad though cause it's usually the other way around.
24:58
Yes.
24:58
If women can't do this, women can't do that unless you have blah, blah, blah.
25:02
Yeah.
25:03
Get my permission to do anything.
25:06
Um, more than 16 women cannot legally live together as it constitutes a brothel.
25:11
Now we've had something similar to this where it was like four women, I think, but 16.
25:17
That's a lot of women in one house.
25:19
Why is it automatically a brothel?
25:21
Because you know, you know how we do well in Philadelphia.
25:27
I found this one really weird In Philadelphia, it is illegal to put pretzels in a bag.
25:31
What are you supposed to put'em in a container, but like, don't they?
25:34
Don't you buy them in bags?
25:36
Yes.
25:37
Wait, is that where the big pretzel thing is?
25:40
Is there a big pretzel?
25:42
Yeah.
25:42
Like that sells them in bags.
25:44
I don't know.
25:44
They do though.
25:45
They do?
25:46
Well, it's illegal.
25:48
Well, people breaking the law, breaking them.
25:51
It's illegal to discharge a cannon, revolver or gun at a wedding.
25:56
Oh, don't take your cannon to, how about these guns?
26:00
Can I take these guns?
26:02
You have a license for.
26:07
Um, um, in Pittsburgh, no one is allowed to sleep in a refrigerator.
26:11
I see the logic behind that one.
26:13
Somebody could die.
26:14
Well, why does that need to be said okay, last one for me.
26:19
You cannot sing in the bathtub.
26:21
Nope.
26:22
Can't do it.
26:22
Don't ask.
26:24
Can't do it though.
26:25
All right.
26:25
Well, in Danville, all fire hydrants must be checked one hour before all fires.
26:32
Okay, so now we're working in reverse again.
26:37
Yeah.
26:38
How, how, like, do they have psychics like that can like see these thought predict?
26:43
Get over there.
26:43
You got 58 minutes needs to be checked.
26:45
Yes.
26:46
That's funny.
26:47
So I have a dumb criminal as well to share.
26:51
This is from, 2015 and my source was W R G B C B.
26:57
S six news, Pennsylvania Police say a man used his own credit card to Jimmy open a door, then left it behind when the homeowner startled him in the middle of the crime.
27:07
I mean, come on dude.
27:09
That's very reminiscent of the guy that put his real phone number on the job application before he grabbed the convenience store.
27:16
Yep.
27:16
Totally, totally.
27:18
well this is from the daily item.
27:20
a retired police chief says he was robbed by probably the dumbest criminal in Pennsylvania.
27:25
It happened Friday morning at police officers convention near Harrisburg, where 300 narcotic officers from Pennsylvania and Ohio were gathered.
27:33
John compareTo says as he came out of a stall in the men's room, a man was pointing a gun in his face, demanding his money.
27:43
He gave up his money and cell phone, but when the man fled, Whatever the dude's name is, and some colleagues chased him.
27:51
They arrested the 19 year old, as he was trying to leave in a taxi again with the taxi.
27:58
Yeah.
27:59
So when the reporter asked the criminal for a comment as he was led out of court, he said, I'm smooth, I'm smooth.
28:09
That sounds like something I would say.
28:10
So he goes into a narcotics convention with 300.
28:15
Police officers.
28:16
Oh my gosh.
28:18
And tries to rob one at gunpoint.
28:20
Uh, yeah.
28:22
I got nothing for that dude.
28:23
I, I don't know.
28:24
This is why, congratulations guy.
28:27
You made the dumb criminal segment of This is my circus podcast.
28:32
Yes.
28:33
Cause he's got his own circus and his own Yeah.
28:37
If these people would listen to our podcast, they would know what not to do though.
28:41
Cause we've covered the tax season all that before.
28:43
Like, come on dude.
28:45
Smarter than that.
28:46
So step one is get like a super, super, super old like Hoopy ride.
28:50
Like it doesn't have GPS in it.
28:53
Yes.
28:53
Yes.
28:54
Two, leave your phone at home.
28:56
Yes.
28:58
Number three, don't try to rob somewhere where there's law enforcement that are packing heat.
29:05
Oh, speaking of a car, we watched a movie last night called The Mother.
29:08
Have you heard of it?
29:09
Mm-hmm.
29:10
It's, you've not heard, it's got Jennifer Lopez in it.
29:12
First of all, she's 53 years old and bad to the bone.
29:16
She's beautiful.
29:16
Well, if I had all the money in the world, I would be too.
29:19
I know, I know.
29:20
But anyway, you know, they always get trapped in a parking deck and they're trying to find a car to break into in movies and she gets under an old truck and the dude's like walking so she can't like jimmy the door and get in cause he'd see and hear the door.
29:32
So she gets underneath the old truck where it's all rusted out and like bangs out the bottom of it and goes up that way.
29:38
I know it was pretty good movie though.
29:40
I would not be good in these kind of situations.
29:43
No.
29:43
Me neither.
29:44
It's, it's like the, um, I'm always fascinated, like the born identity movies and all that, where he just grabs, I remember one scene in particular, he's walking down the hallway and he takes off the wall, the, um, the like the fire path, the exit for the emergency exit.
29:59
And he uses it as his map.
30:01
Mm-hmm.
30:01
Like things that I don't even think about.
30:03
I mean, I know people like this really exist.
30:06
Maybe he is real.
30:07
I, I, I don't be like the first dead.
30:12
You're gonna be that, that first one that's gone feel like, you know, just, just pick me.
30:17
Go ahead and take me out painlessly, please.
30:19
Um, just get it over with.
30:20
Yeah.
30:21
Don't waste either of our times.
30:22
Right.
30:23
and I had dinner with a friend last week and she recommended to watch a show on Prime called the Summer.
30:31
I turned pretty.
30:32
Oh.
30:33
I don't know if you saw Outer Banks.
30:35
Mm-hmm.
30:35
Um, very similar.
30:37
it has two.
30:38
I feel like there's a book.
30:39
There is.
30:39
Okay.
30:39
There is.
30:40
I didn't, of course, didn't know about the book or I would've read the book first, but very good show.
30:44
Oh, cool.
30:44
Very good show.
30:46
I, I binge watched like the first.
30:48
Season in like two days.
30:50
Yeah.
30:51
Um, and the second season just came out Friday, Thursday or Friday, something like that.
30:55
So Very good.
30:56
Mm-hmm.
30:56
Very good.
30:57
Well, that's cool.
30:59
Yeah.
30:59
Um, well, speaking of, um, being 52 and looking wonderful, I am not 52, but I am 41.
31:08
Just newly 41.
31:09
I keep, I kept seeing it on TikTok and on Facebook.
31:12
The solo wave.
31:14
Yeah, the red light therapy wand thing.
31:16
So it should be here today.
31:18
I cannot wait to hear how bags and dark circles under my eyes cause I only sleep like, you know, 30 hours a month.
31:27
Yeah.
31:28
I have bad wrinkles under my eyes.
31:29
Long story short, mine are hereditary.
31:32
Mm-hmm.
31:32
So nothing I can do can get rid of'em, but, um, like I've had Botox and all kinds of stuff trying to fix'em, but I'm interested, I mean, it doesn't feel good, especially like right there.
31:44
Yeah.
31:45
I mean, it's been years since I had it, but I would do it again if I had a vial of it right here.
31:50
Yeah.
31:51
Well, like they used to do like the Botox parties or like Yeah.
31:56
They come to your house and, you know, Do.
31:58
Yeah, right there.
31:59
Totally.
31:59
But I, want it in my, on my forehead, Uhhuh.
32:02
Yeah.
32:02
I, I take that, I got my, my, I got the three lines on my forehead and I call them, um, wtf.
32:14
My what?
32:14
The F face?
32:15
Yeah.
32:16
Um, I was playing with my face the other day as I was bored.
32:19
And like my face is getting so droopy right here, I'm gonna have to buy some of that face tape so I can do that.
32:24
I'm interested to see that unless there's a med spa that wants to sponsor us, I'm totally down.
32:29
I will cut me open and fix whatever, your machine should be there today.
32:33
Mm-hmm.
32:34
It's just like a little wand.
32:35
It looks almost like a razor and, you just like glide it I guess three times a week for like 10 minutes a day.
32:41
Oh.
32:42
So we'll see.
32:44
I can't wait to see.
32:44
Before.
32:45
This is before Take apic, take a picks a week.
32:49
We can see, um, for our dumb crime and law, let's do Michigan is that okay?
32:55
So what else are you getting into today?
32:56
Y'all got a launch going on?
32:58
we had launches last week, but the American Corn Hole League World Championship is in, starts in 12 days.
33:06
And, and that's in Rock Hill?
33:07
It is in Rock Hill.
33:08
Um, so we set up a booth every year there.
33:12
so it's just a lot of preparation, getting ready for it.
33:15
Every year they kind of change things a little bit and so, yeah.
33:18
With that we also have to do our bag changeovers, like all, like all the stamp changeovers.
33:22
And so it's just a lot.
33:24
for like three weeks.
33:25
It's just like bananas.
33:27
Craziness.
33:28
So how long does the tournament last?
33:30
Three weeks?
33:31
No, no, no.
33:32
It's one week.
33:32
so it's just one week with the prep and everything is Yeah, it starts on the 29th.
33:36
We can set up on the 28th.
33:37
Um, and then it's like the whole following week.
33:39
Okay.
33:40
It's, it's a lot.
33:42
So where is it in Rock Hill?
33:44
It's at the sports center, um, the big, huge sports where they do basketball and volleyball.
33:49
Mm-hmm.
33:49
And then so is that where all the vendors are set up too?
33:52
Mm-hmm.
33:52
Yeah.
33:53
Last year because there's so many more, companies now, we've been working for, this is our fourth or fifth year, but, um, every year so many more people are trying to join the acl.
34:06
So last year, the whole inside, like this like room that they've always put the vendors in was completely full.
