Jurassic Park is overrated. Oh my goodness.
0:17
Bro. Welcome to Off Brandon, Off
0:19
Topic, the show where we try to have a normal conversation and
0:22
fail miserably. I'm today's host, Charlie,
0:24
joined by my best friend Allison.
0:26
Why do they call it a John Doe and not a Hoo Man?
0:31
OK, I love that so much. I've never been so happy.
0:36
I'm so proud of. You I get a point for that
0:38
though. OK, I'll give it.
0:39
Yes 100% and here are the rules for our game.
0:42
I have a topic and I get points for staying on topic.
0:45
And I get points for every wildtangent client, Horror Story
0:47
and absurd question I used to do rail you.
0:50
Of course, the points are completely arbitrary, because
0:52
who knows it will actually keep track.
0:54
But at the end of the episode, whoever technically has the most
0:56
points wins the ultimate. Punishment New Friends 0 Focus
1:00
Let's see how long you last today.
1:02
Do you want to quickly circle back to my question?
1:04
What was your question? So why do they call it a John
1:07
Doe and not a Who man? I like The Who, man.
1:09
I think that needs to be changed.
1:11
Like legally. What about like a woman?
1:12
Because, like, it's Jane Doe and John.
1:14
Who woman? I don't know.
1:16
I mean that's who. Man already pretty much has
1:19
woman in it. There's just an age.
1:21
OK. Yeah, yeah, I'll give it to you.
1:22
I like. It checks out.
1:23
I like it. I don't think I don't think you
1:25
can change it legally because I don't think there's a legal
1:28
thing. Well, this is like cremains, so.
1:30
They should. Fully create her own fucking
1:34
dictionary. So also, before we actually get
1:37
into this episode, I have an addendum to the video game
1:40
episode because my mom listened to it and she would like me to
1:43
correct. I was 5, not 7 when I played
1:46
Grand Theft Auto for the first time.
1:48
Now that that's important to anybody, but it's important to
1:50
my mom. You were a child.
1:51
Just wanted to put that out there and.
1:53
I love it. We got to keep the facts
1:54
straight. This is how you know that we're
1:55
not lying because our parents are listening and are like fact
1:58
checking us. Oh, yeah.
2:00
When your mom was listening, your mom was listening and she
2:02
was texting. She's like, who's this?
2:03
What happened? Oh, I know this story.
2:05
Yeah. Yeah.
2:05
OK. Yeah, well, she's like, what did
2:08
you learn from this trip? And I was like, you're right.
2:10
I love that. I think my mom, her basically
2:15
her review this whole time has just been a lot of eye rolling
2:17
so because she knows trying new things about me that she didn't
2:21
necessarily. Know is it new?
2:22
Days we'll find out I I don't know.
2:25
I am quickly skipping into dad joke.
2:28
Do you want to hear my crazy thing that may or may not have
2:31
happened? I might have hallucinated it, I
2:33
don't really know. Absolutely no fever dreams.
2:37
I don't know, because I was awake because I was like texting
2:41
somebody, but I am under the impression somebody was in my
2:46
house in the middle of the night at like on like Thursday or
2:49
something. And here's why, OK.
2:51
It's not just like a baseless, like, oh, I heard a noise like,
2:54
you know, you're on a go hunting show when somebody throws a rock
2:56
and they're like, what? Was that I believe you 100%.
2:59
And it was like two, 3:00 in the morning.
3:01
It's not a booty call. How do you know it was a
3:03
meaningful conversation? And so I heard out in the
3:07
kitchen, the distinct like shut of my cupboard door.
3:11
Like, I know what my cupboard sound like.
3:13
And I, I would swear on my life that I heard like the close of
3:17
it. I know that's why I'm like, how
3:21
could I have hurt? Like, what could that have even
3:24
been if it wasn't that? So that's fine.
3:27
I lay there for a little while and then it well, it's not fine.
3:29
But I'm like, OK, trying to process because like, to be
3:32
fair, there are weird noises in my house.
3:35
Pretty sure my house is haunted. You know, whatever.
3:38
That's a new one. Like sometimes my bedroom is
3:41
like directly over the stairs for the patient.
3:43
Sometimes they hear footsteps and that.
3:44
Honestly, that one's pretty normal at this point.
3:46
Our sink goes on and off all the time.
3:49
Some of the lamps turn on. I don't know.
3:50
Those things are all normal to me, I guess.
3:53
Not normal, but normal in my house.
3:54
The cupboard was new. OK, So I laid there and I was
3:57
like OK, am I ready to swing on a hoe if I have to?
4:01
Your ghosts have gotten too like, comfortable, like she
4:03
knows these sounds. We need something.
4:04
New 100% certain that it was a ghost.
4:07
I'm actually inclined to believe there was a real human in my
4:10
house. Well, like, why is there a
4:11
person in your house shutting your coverage?
4:12
But I just think it's. Fair.
4:13
And I go out to my kitchen. I like nothing's different,
4:17
nothing moved, nothings like whatever.
4:19
But then I checked the back door door is unlocked and it's not
4:22
actually latched. Like it's pushed in enough that
4:25
it looked shut but like the little the door jam is not all
4:28
the way in for the door knob. So I was like OK that's weird.
4:31
However I have done that before thinking I locked it and then
4:35
just didn't shut it all the way. I have done that before so I was
4:37
like don't panic. Still could be nothing.
4:41
This is where I'm losing it. This next one my toilet paper
4:44
was backwards. In my house we hang the toilet
4:46
paper under. OK, very specific.
4:48
The big debate. I don't even.
4:50
Give people gonna be against you in.
4:51
With you don't use the bathroom if it bothers you that much.
4:56
Where do you put it? I'm not, I'm not a beard.
4:58
I'm a mullet. You know what I mean?
5:00
It's not in the front, it's in the back.
5:01
Yeah. It goes like near the wall and
5:03
then you stick your hand under in the gravity pulls it and
5:05
you're good. I don't know, I might be beard.
5:08
If I go to someone's house and it's not the way that I like it,
5:10
I'm not gonna be like your toilet paper wrong.
5:12
I'm still gonna use your toilet paper and it's fine.
5:13
But like in my own house, that is the only way that we have
5:17
ever put the toilet paper. Yes, but it was beard in the.
5:19
Bathroom OK. I think beard makes more sense
5:21
because of hotels. But that's a hotel I'm talking
5:24
to my. House I know, but like I think
5:26
like not that I'm like 01 wrong or not, but I'm like I think I
5:29
used to do mullet, but now I've. Switched to beer we're talking
5:32
about. It I've been to a hotel and I'm
5:33
like. Well, then maybe beard is just
5:36
an elegant way that you use when you're traveling and mullet is
5:41
what you're supposed to use at home anyway.
5:43
So the problem with the toilet paper, though, is like, it's not
5:46
a new role. So like, there's no, and like my
5:48
mom and I, we both put the toilet through the same way.
5:51
So I like, I noticed it and it was like, it's a low roll.
5:55
So it's not like any, you know, it got switched to a new one and
5:58
somebody was like, Oh, whatever. So I walked out and I was like,
6:00
in the morning and I, I said all, all the things.
6:02
Well, actually, no, I woke her up at 4:00 in the morning.
6:04
I was like, listen, this is what I heard.
6:05
What do you think? And she was like, I think you
6:07
should go to bed. I was like, that's fair.
6:09
But I also am going to survey the entire house now.
6:12
Woke her up. Yes.
6:13
Cause I was like, do you think there's a murderer in our
6:15
basement? There could be.
6:17
So I got my Fargo and I searched every single room and closet in
6:21
my house before I went back to sleep.
6:23
Oh my goodness listen if anyone finding a ghost or an injured or
6:26
it's. Dog, that's what I'm saying.
6:28
She barks at nothing all the time.
6:29
So I was like, well, fine, murder, do it fine.
6:32
But yeah, so like, then we talked about it.
6:34
I've searched house. I go back to bed and then the
6:36
next day I'm like sitting on the toilet and I look over the
6:38
paper. I'm like, why the fuck is it
6:39
backward? Like what?
6:41
Like what possible reason would there be for it to be different?
6:45
So I go out and I'm like, yeah, it's usually just.
6:48
Which is a really weird thing to ask somebody about.
6:51
Did you change the direction of the toilet paper?
6:54
Because she was like, no. Like this is wrong guys.
6:56
Well, it's just us. Like Terry left, so it's
6:58
literally just the two of us. So she's like, no, I thought you
7:01
changed it. And I was like, see, that
7:04
coupled with the fucking cupboard sound means somebody
7:07
was in our house. I don't know what they came in.
7:10
They stole something out of our cupboards.
7:12
They switched our fucking toilet paper and they left.
7:14
That's what I can tell you. I.
7:16
Am so excited for you to listen to this back and be like why
7:19
though? I don't know.
7:20
Why all the things for them to do?
7:21
This is a dangerous cook sketch about breaking and entering
7:25
where he's like, he's like, I just stole the batteries that I
7:27
left. Like that's that's what this is
7:30
like a petty revenge. Say, Oh my God, I don't know
7:32
because I genuinely don't know how the Topper would be
7:34
backwards. That's the only thing that I
7:36
don't, I don't know. Like nobody was in our house
7:39
except for the two of us. So she's lying to me, which
7:41
like, why would you lie about that direction sober?
7:44
I'm just convinced that somebody was in my house.
7:46
You came out so. What you're like this is.
7:48
Wrong. She agrees.
7:50
She's the reason I put the mullet on the toilet paper in
7:53
the 1st. Place.
7:55
Better to do it, change the toilet paper backwards.
7:59
I'm just, that's what I'm convinced about.
8:00
And then I'm spending my week at Charlene's.
8:04
So I'm recording from from my iPad.
8:06
So we'll see how that goes. You're so fancy.
8:08
But it's really not it's it is a set of headphones plugged in
8:13
that I I'm afraid to move. You remedy that anyway.
8:19
How was your day? Just be thankful you have my.
8:22
Attention. I always have your attention to
8:24
each other. How was your day?
8:26
Frankly, good. I'm so sorry.
8:29
No you're not. Don't lie to my face.
8:33
You're going to make. Fun.
8:33
It was OK. I'm not making fun of you.
8:36
I don't think it was a real person.
8:38
Though well then you call the demons and you tell them to stop
8:41
fucking with my toilet paper. You got demons?
8:43
I don't know cause we got they be like why would it be a ghost
8:46
fucking with my toilet paper? Also why is it always a ghost
8:50
from like 1812 and never like Britney Spears yelling shit down
8:54
the hallway? You know, like why 2K goes and
8:56
they're like. Britney Spears ain't dead, but
8:57
no. Buddy Murphy, I did.
8:59
No, no, no, no, no. But like, I mean like quoting,
9:01
you know, Britney Spears and shit where they're like, leave
9:04
me alone, you know what I mean? Like this, Not like, you know,
9:07
2001 Imagine your house being sorry, can you?
9:11
This is really off the topic here, but Can you imagine
9:14
actually being haunted by that? You're like you 20 years from
9:17
now. Ghost hunters go and like hotels
9:19
are haunted with like girls and like Ugg boots and low rez jeans
9:22
and like the blue, the like blue shimmery eyeshadow and shit.
9:27
They're really thin brows, 3 layered tank tops scheme.
9:30
Imagine that shit. Getting worse and worse.
9:32
People would stop, go Sunday. They'd be like, you know what?
9:35
We don't. We don't need to see anymore,
9:37
actually. No, it was good.
9:39
I had 18 clients today. Love them all, honestly.
9:43
Fantastic. I didn't have any that were mean
9:46
or snippy or anything like that. Gabby had one and she was like,
9:49
like Gabby would ask her, OK, So what are we doing for you?
9:52
Just how you start your consultation, kind of see where
9:54
they're at and what they're thinking.
9:55
And this girl was like, well, what do you think?
9:57
Obviously haircut was like mad at her for asking.
9:59
And like it just got worse. Like the more she is, she's
10:02
like, she's like this girl wanted like a Bob basically with
10:05
layers to it's like not so much an inverted Bob, but definitely
10:08
Bob, which is a short haircut, whatever.
10:10
Isn't that like a swing cut or something?
10:12
Yes. And that's what I call it
10:14
usually. But everybody out here calls it
10:16
an inverted Bob. So I'm like, I don't know, when
10:18
did you say? And when I talk about it as a
10:20
swing, they're like, are you talking about?
10:21
I'm like, never mind. About Ontario thing I guess
10:24
pretty much didn't know that there was vernaculars.
10:27
Right. Ever.
10:28
Honestly, hair is a completely different language even when you
10:31
guys were translating. Well, yeah, that I get, but like
10:35
I just can't believe there's that many differences.
10:37
You're it's what, like 2 provinces over Dude, a shag, a
10:41
butterfly cut and a wolf cut are all the same thing.
10:43
Yeah. Were were you asking me or
10:45
telling me? Cause I don't know.
10:47
Like there's slight variations. In all of them.
10:49
OK, I'm telling you there's a slight variations between all of
10:52
it. Like butterfly is more like face
10:54
framing layers and everything pulled towards the face framing
10:56
and cut. Wolf cut is like exaggerated
10:58
face framing and shag layers. And then shag is just like
11:01
really short layers too long. But it's all like the same
11:02
thing, just different variations and they all just have different
11:05
names. Same as like the modern mullet
11:06
and a mullet and a warrior cut. I'm sick of all these names.
11:09
I'm like, show me a picture at this point because you are
11:11
telling me things that have a very different name from like
11:14
when I grew up to now and I'm not even that old.
11:16
I mean, that's the same like any industry though, like everybody
11:19
has like different ways to explain things.
11:21
Like when we were talking about like our skating stuff, we'd be
11:25
like, oh, this is, you know, like a figure skating you'd call
11:29
like a three turn, but in like hockey it's like a Mohawk.
11:31
But now you can't say that anymore either because
11:34
indigenous stuff. And so I had to change the name.
11:36
So now I don't even know what they call it.
11:39
Not Mohawk. Like that's the same for
11:41
anything. They don't.
11:42
It doesn't make sense how much you can just.
11:44
I mean, it's just words. But Gabby was like, basically
11:48
reiterating what this girl had said to her to make sure they're
11:51
on the same page. And this girl was like, mad at
11:54
her for double check. And she's like, you know what
11:55
you're doing? It's like, yes, but unless you
11:58
want me to be in a completely different page, like, it was
12:00
just brutal. This girl was so mean.
12:02
I'm like, so glad it wasn't me. But also I would have been like,
12:06
this is what you're getting is what you asked me for.
12:08
Like when you treat me with no respect, I'm not going to lie to
12:10
you. I'm gonna give you no respect
12:12
back. Yeah, treat people how you
12:14
wanted to be treated, like the Golden Rule still or something.
12:18
Well, it was and like, I still like someone comes in my chair.
12:21
I don't care where you came from.
12:22
I don't know. I don't care your background.
12:23
I don't care any other information.
12:25
I'm here to cut your hair. Tell me what you want.
12:26
I'm gonna do it. We can chat.
12:27
We cannot chat. Up to you.
12:29
But like, also, if you're a jerk to me, I'm gonna be sitting the
12:31
whole time, like basically looking at you like you're an
12:33
idiot because how? Stupid of you to treat.
12:35
Me like that when I have scissors next to your head, I
12:37
ain't doing anything about it. But like I could so easily.
12:40
Don't be stupid. Look at me threatening people.
12:42
This is great. Anyway, that was great.
12:44
Work was good. I'm like, I had client, I was
12:47
in, I was in a sunflower field for like several hours today.
12:50
Do photos. Yeah.
12:52
Yeah. I didn't know you had a photo
12:54
shoot. I love that.
12:55
Yeah, no, I did that. And then I'm gonna send you an
12:58
appropriate one. They're not inappropriate, but
13:00
like, they were really funny. There's like holding like he
13:03
goes, I wanna do an Adam and Eve, but with sunflowers.
13:07
And then he started laughing and he went to, like, describe it
13:09
more. And I was like, I'm picking up
13:10
what you're putting down. I understand what you believe
13:12
me. We're going to do it because
13:14
that's really funny. And then I was working on the
13:17
beginning of the backdrop. Yes, I'm so excited for that.
13:20
Like very final girl I did doing a video for it so it'll be my
13:23
YouTube channel. Yes, which we will leave at the
13:26
end there and link in the description.
13:28
Link should. Yeah.
13:31
I don't think I just put like the AT and then and then you
13:35
can, yeah, can find, yeah. Not necessarily link.
13:38
I don't know what the word is for that though.
13:39
But yeah, that's a personal talk, I think, unless you got
13:41
something. Else No, that's my day.
13:42
Oh, I'm making soft serve ice cream.
13:44
Well, I mean, I'm in the process of freezing the stuff to make
13:47
this. Yeah, I'm excited that they
13:50
bought for Charlene's birthday. Adam bought a like ninja soft
13:54
serve thing. Washing machine.
13:57
Then I forgot they had it until I was looking at folks looking
14:00
for the Creamer and I realized what the machine I was looking
14:03
at was. And I was like, well, I know I'm
14:04
not making coffee anymore. I'm using this Creamer for
14:06
something else. So now the little like do
14:07
hickeys, like filled with the cream and stuff and it's in the
14:10
freezer to get to a certain temperature and then you put it
14:12
through the thing. So we'll see how that goes on.
14:14
I learned how to make bread. Yes, and you tweaked your
14:17
recipe. Did it turn out better that
14:18
time? Oh yeah, no.
14:19
So the first one I followed like the recipe right out of like the
14:23
manual and it was really dry. So OK, maybe like less flour,
14:28
more sugar. So I did that.
14:30
My mom thinks it's too moist now I like it that way, but I'm
14:34
thinking maybe like just more sugar and keep the same flour
14:38
would keep it. So I'm gonna have to try for 1/3
14:39
time. So it was better.
14:40
Well, like, not it yet. We're gonna.
14:42
Tweak till we get perfect and then when I come up I'm better.
14:44
We getting bread? Sure.
14:46
Yeah, OK. What is a robot's favorite kind
14:53
of music? Of techno.
14:55
No, but that's cute. It's heavy metal.
14:59
I mean same. Right.
15:01
I'll take both. Honest.
15:02
Both answers are bad. Very proud you.
15:04
That's bad. Thank you.
15:05
I think. It's good.
15:06
And that leads us into our topic for today.
15:09
Our topic is when it's me hosting, we get our topic an
15:12
hour before. And by that I mean I figure out
15:14
the topic that I'm going to tell you an hour before I tell.
15:16
You I look in the mirror and I go, What are we?
15:18
Doing yeah, sometimes I'm just like scrolling through like tick
15:21
tock or Instagram or whatever and I'm like, oh, that's a good
15:24
one. And it's not even like someone
15:25
talking about a topic looks like they'll be like a word.
15:27
And I'm like, that's what I'm gonna do.
15:28
This one actually happened two hours.
15:30
Before the podcast. Oh, you were extra prepared.
15:33
I was. I like the difference in our
15:36
methodology. I have like a categorized lists
15:39
and I'm like ready to, you know, and you're like, all right, let
15:42
me just awesome stuff out of a hat and see what happens.
15:45
Call me A. Magician, right?
15:46
So what are we talking about? Music.
15:47
Cool. OK, Musician, not robot.
15:50
No, not robots. OK just checking.
15:52
Robots could make music now though.
15:55
So I mean, they got that AI shit.
15:57
Yes, honestly, as much as people are hating on it, there's a
16:00
couple that I've heard that I don't know.
16:01
Like I'll be listening to me and I'm like, this is really good
16:03
and Mayo while going to be like Mama AI and then leave.
16:06
Like how do you know? Because I don't know, when I'm
16:07
an adult like you're 7, you can't tell me things.
16:11
Maybe it's just like, yeah, but it's just like ingrained in
16:14
their their DNA. You know how the kids are like
16:16
they they joke kids are coming out with iPads now or whatever,
16:20
you know, back when we were like 13 or like, oh, how do you
16:22
change the channel on this and how do you do it?
16:25
That's what we are now. But we're like, what's AI?
16:28
And they're like you're so. Dumb.
16:30
I'm not that dumb. I just don't know.
16:31
I'm saying in general, yeah, not you specifically, like just in
16:36
general terms. Well, wasn't going to say that,
16:40
but I also find like, like Terry shares, this is off topic
16:44
already, but Terry shares a lot of like, AI products and he's
16:47
like, oh, this would be really cool.
16:48
And I'm like, that's obviously not fucking real.
16:50
See Grampa, Watch videos, be like did you see this?
16:53
I'm like, I can tell him it's not real, but like music.
16:55
How do you look at that? That's I'm saying there's like
16:57
a, it's a generation thing cause there's you have to listen and
17:00
some of it's really, really good now, but like some of it is
17:03
certain words, how the inflection is like there's
17:06
certain words that we would say like in syllables, like it would
17:10
go down, up, down. And they don't do that.
17:13
That's fair because it's a coded.
17:15
So it'll be like that and we're like.
17:19
No way a 7 year old is catching this and I'm not.
17:21
She's just learning to read. Tell me she knows how things are
17:23
supposed to be. Said I don't know what to tell
17:25
you. I'm pretty sure your kid also
17:27
has lived before. So coming in telling you how to
17:30
do an oil change and shit. Yeah, this.
17:31
Is I love being a mom it's so fun honestly.
17:34
I enjoy her knowing things honest she doesn't ask me.
17:38
Being a parent is so funny, though, because like, you get to
17:41
approach things in like a are we learning today or am I punking
17:45
you today? Literally, though, because
17:47
straight up like, OK, there's a road called.
17:50
You probably know where this is, Girl Guide Rd.
17:52
Yeah, on your way out to like, Sable and stuff.
17:55
Drop by. We were driving down there.
17:57
Michael was smaller and I was like, I'm like, do you know what
18:01
a Girl Guide? Because, you know, we don't like
18:03
scouts and stuff because Kobe Lasker and scouts.
18:05
And he was like, well, it's like Girl Guides is like they sell
18:08
cookies. And so it was like, well, it's a
18:10
lot more than that, but yes. And he goes, why?
18:12
Why is it called Girl Guide Road?
18:14
And I looked at him with straight face, and I said,
18:18
because in the summer the girl had to climb out of the ditches
18:21
to sell you cookies as you drive by.
18:22
Oh my gosh. And he was like, really?
18:25
Just said let me traumatize you real quick.
18:27
No, what really was? Like, no, because actually, you
18:31
know what? This I've told that story more
18:33
than once to like multiple people and are always like,
18:36
really? So I must, I must have a really
18:38
good pitching voice because people believe me and I'm like,
18:41
I was. Like, there's no reason it's
18:43
actually named that. Maybe there is because before
18:46
all the houses and stuff that are there were there back like
18:49
in the deeper Bush was where they had most of their camp outs
18:53
and stuff. Like when they actually did all
18:55
the world, the Scotty things they had like a want to call it
18:59
like an HP, you know, whatever they're like.
19:02
Yeah, that's why they called it. Yeah, that's why they called it
19:06
that. According to my mother.
19:07
I don't. I didn't Fact Check that, so I
19:09
would just believed. It honestly I I take her word
19:11
for it, 100. Percent.
19:12
I mean, it makes more sense than mine.
19:13
We're the little kids. She'd win.
19:15
The little kids are climbing out of ditches to sell your cookies.
19:17
Yes, but. Honestly, at least I thought
19:20
you're gonna say that the turtles that climb out of the
19:22
ditches are called Guides or Girl Guides or.
19:24
Something not little girls. But you were like full on like
19:26
these little girls will come out with.
19:28
The bushes all summer to sell your cookies.
19:31
I've I've I've scammed at least three people into that believing
19:34
that story. I'm not going to lie to.
19:36
You, my goodness. Two of those three were adults,
19:38
not a child, so yeah. We are now You are now six
19:42
points off topic. Like I know.
19:46
Because we haven't even gotten to the damn topic.
19:49
I said what it was and we're talking about, and I don't know
19:55
how we got here, so I'm gonna have to listen to this back when
19:57
it comes out and figure out what just happened.
19:58
How did we get to Girl Guides? I'm gonna be listening to this
20:00
whole thing gonna be like ohhhhh.
20:02
Yeah, I know. I'll tell you how we got here.
20:04
I know how we got there. And wait, hold on, I'll tell you
20:06
how we got there was a I Maya parenting Michael Girl Guides
20:11
dumb people I tricked with that story about Girl Guides the
20:14
arcade. The fact that I can trace that
20:16
back is. Impressive.
20:17
Amazing, amazing. So music, yeah.
20:22
So music. Yep.
20:23
OK, so. Try again.
20:25
Back to the topic. OK, basically preferences
20:29
concerts first thing you had to listen to music on.
20:33
Walkman. I still have my Walkman.
20:35
This is love that though. Same but I only used that like
20:39
it was dad's and I only like borrowed it.
20:41
I had a CD player though that I brought to school.
20:43
I fucking hate this means. Because I remember being like,
20:46
in the soccer field listening to this.
20:49
I'm a little CD player listening Def Leppard.
20:53
But they were so stupid because as soon as you tilted it at all,
20:57
the CD was like it and you're like, what am I doing?
21:01
Like I have to stand here and hold this like it's a server
21:03
tray for it to fucking work. Yeah, that's fair.
21:07
So I just like, I'll just keep on my cassettes.
21:10
And actually, I take my cassette player with me to my acting
21:15
stuff, yeah. You're not allowed to.
21:16
Phone well sometimes that is the case like they take our if we're
21:19
working with like a high profile like celebrity or something, our
21:22
phones usually get like blocked up.
21:23
That is part of it. But honestly I most of the time
21:26
just leave my phone in the car because I'd rather my cassette
21:30
player get taken than my cell phone.
21:33
Valid. I wouldn't, but it always also
21:35
it sparks up conversations because people are people are
21:38
like, is that real? Well, and I'm like, yeah, I'm
21:40
listening to fucking. Yeah, I think I'd rather someone
21:43
take my cell phone. See what yours is sentimental.
21:45
Mine is just like. But this day and age did so much
21:47
easier to get another cell. Phone.
21:48
No, you can buy them on Amazon. OK, never mind.
21:50
That was like, where do we even find one?
21:51
Then buy a cassette player for like 20 bucks.
21:53
Amazon. You're welcome, I love that.
21:55
Taylor's car is all just so we have been like every time we go
21:57
to Valley Village we're looking for like raw cassettes or like
22:00
heavy metal and stuff like that. But like you can only find.
22:02
Centre I bought a lot at ours. No, I found a whole bunch.
22:05
You can go through my country. Yes please.
22:07
And I actually have a Def Leopard one.
22:10
I think I love that. The first things that I can
22:13
think of when I think of like the first songs that I listen
22:17
to, songs that I definitely had no business understanding when I
22:22
was small because my sisters were teenagers when I was
22:26
little. Like there's a 10 and 11 year
22:27
old eleven year gate gap, Oh my God, between us.
22:31
So by the time like I could perceive or remember them, I'm
22:35
like 5 or 6, right? And so they're like 1617.
22:40
So they're listening to like, I don't even know if we're gonna
22:44
be able to air these things. We're going to say them anyway.
22:47
There was one. We literally have this CD of
22:50
like horrible, horrible songs that are all like like we even
22:53
have one for Christmas music and they were so bad.
22:56
It's like this is, this is the only one that I can think of the
22:59
lyrics off the top of my head. There's a Christmas 1 and it's
23:01
supposed to be written by like the perspective of the elves and
23:04
it says ho, ho, fucking ho. It's something whole thing.
23:06
And that's a lot of what they listen to like.
23:10
I know what you're talking about, but I don't remember this
23:12
ever actually being like on a CD.
23:13
It was just something that I heard other people.
23:15
That's it's an actual. Singing I.
23:17
Guess we have Honest CD somewhere if you still have it.
23:22
Kevin Bloody Wilson. Sure is Australian.
23:25
I love that I know and we have a there's we have a whole like
23:28
burned CD of like naughty Christmas songs that are like
23:31
that. And then one of the things that
23:33
I can remember happening was let's get this party started or
23:37
whatever the song by pink where she's like you'll be kissing my
23:41
ass right that line. I remember in like if their 6th
23:44
grade the one whoever whatever teacher I had played that in gym
23:47
class. Really.
23:49
And we were like, we don't know, so you can't say that word.
23:53
And she was like, it says pass. I was like, man, how dumb do you
23:58
think I am? Really?
23:59
But a lot of that does. What I remember is a lot of like
24:02
songs with like very sexual natures and like, yeah, very
24:07
inappropriate wearing and stuff. Because my sisters were yes.
24:11
And I was like 5 or 6. And because my sisters were
24:14
teenagers and they were like on to like the the party days or
24:17
whatever, right? That's like even we listened to
24:19
every. Genre.
24:21
I also played Grand Theft Auto 5, so I mean, I just have
24:25
naturally been introduced to shit that I shouldn't have at a
24:27
very young age. So I I can't freely put my
24:33
Spotify on shuffle on a road trip because you might get like
24:37
Phantom of the Opera followed by Slipknot and not everybody's not
24:41
everybody's cool with. That shit yeah, 100% no like I
24:46
think that's the best thing about like how we grew up
24:48
though, like with the older siblings and like everybody else
24:50
around us and even like our friends who yes had older
24:53
siblings, but they all like had a they all had a certain genre.
24:55
So like we like I got we got I got robbed from my dad's country
24:59
from my mom and like also rock from my mom, but country from my
25:02
mom's rap from my sisters, like Evanescence from my other sister
25:07
Avril Lavigne, from one like it was just all over the place.
25:10
And then, like growing up like Disney, like the stuff that we
25:13
like, listen to it. Yeah.
25:14
And like, stuff that has come out now to this day, still is
25:17
like still kind of, I don't know, I guess sneaking its way
25:20
in. There are I, I will say like
25:24
Gemma got me to play this game with her.
25:26
YouTube has these all like trivia games and stuff that you
25:29
can put on. And she did one while we're
25:34
waiting for your mom one night. And it was like, guess the, it
25:38
was like the number one chart Topper of the year for every
25:42
every year from like 1975 to like 2020 or something.
25:48
I will say I knew more back then than I do now and it was like
25:56
2013 onward is probably where I started to struggle and I was
25:59
like, I don't, I don't know either.
26:01
See and same. But there's also little things
26:03
like Tegan, right? Ohe yeah.
26:05
Like she listens to a lot of the newer stuff and like even Gemma
26:08
and. Yeah, it's it's not like a it's
26:10
not a hate on anything like new. I just find that like the music
26:14
industry on the whole has reached a point where like
26:18
almost nothing is new new. Like how many songs are are
26:23
sampled, right. Like there's, you know, Jens
26:25
going Oh well, look, listen to this beat and millennials are
26:28
like, no, actually it's from this song.
26:30
And then Gen. X are like, actually it's from
26:33
this song. So like you can trace these like
26:35
cords back and like realistically every single like
26:39
top songs can be made from 4 chords.
26:42
Should look this up. It's like, I think they're
26:44
called the Axis of Awesome. I watched you look that up on
26:47
YouTube. Yeah, the four chords.
26:49
You can play pretty much fucking anything with four chords.
26:52
So like everything sounds the same, Yes.
26:54
But I really like the older stuff because you could really
26:59
define where like genres were. Made.
27:03
Yeah, everything now is kind of mixed together.
27:05
Yeah. And like, you know, like the the
27:07
turn of like, oh, Blues became, you know, jazz and jazz became
27:11
raw. Yeah.
27:12
You know, like that sort of stuff.
27:14
Really good. I used to sing.
27:16
I sing a lot of Prince while we were skating.
27:18
I every so often I would have hit out like Raspberry Array and
27:22
Amanda would be like, are you singing Prince right now?
27:25
Like what are you doing? I was like, I fucking love
27:27
Prince. Yeah, I think mine would be like
27:28
when doves cry if that one had a choke hold on.
27:30
Me everything princesses, I would like what listen when it
27:35
starts and he's like dearly beloved, I'm like.
27:37
Me. Today is celebrate this thing
27:43
called life. I'm like, dude, I could kick a
27:45
door in right now. Like it's a lot.
27:48
I mean, obviously you know who my favorite band is.
27:51
Well, I would hope so because I have a tattoo.
27:54
My Chemical. Romance.
27:55
Yeah. I cried during a majority of
27:57
their show when I saw them. I love that for you.
28:00
Do you know who my favorite is? Probably not.
28:03
I honestly I don't know either. I was gonna say you even.
28:06
Know I don't have a favorite I like it all honestly, I was
28:08
obsessed with Michael Jackson for a while I still love Michael
28:11
Jackson still made a. Big impact, like the top three
28:15
that I can think of for you would be like Def Leppard,
28:20
Michael Jackson, and I want to say like Metallica or Avril
28:24
Lavigne would be top three that I could think of right now that
28:28
I know you listen to a lot. Of I want to say I like
28:30
Metallica cause there's some of their songs, like I don't hate
28:32
it, but Metallica is not one of my like go to bands that I would
28:36
listen to and like Taylor gets mad at me.
28:38
Everybody I'm like, who is this? I'm not a fan.
28:40
And I'm like, oh, I'm so sorry. The disrespect that just came
28:42
from my mouth. But definitely def Leopard
28:44
because that was like I started with that and Michael Jackson,
28:47
he I think his is so much of an impact because of Jessica.
28:50
Yeah, because that was like something her and I enjoyed
28:52
together. See, I feel like all of your
28:54
preferences are tied to, like, a person almost.
28:57
Like, for me, I love, I don't really like country, but I love
29:00
Johnny Cash because it was, like, my dad's favorite singer.
29:03
Yeah. And so I like I can belt name of
29:06
Johnny Cash song right now and I could hit you with some lyrics,
29:08
right. Like I don't like country.
29:10
I really don't. There's like a a few that I
29:13
like. I I loved Dolly Parton.
29:16
She's amazing. Like a lot of a lot of like
29:18
she's. Also amazing.
29:19
For this stuff she's done, yeah, yeah.
29:21
I was gonna say a lot of influence on that is just
29:23
literally like her physical being quote.
29:28
Multiple times a. Week I love I.
29:30
Love it's always when I'm working 9:00 to 5:00.
29:33
When it is like a quote on like the chalkboard for the kids at
29:38
camp. One of them every week was a
29:41
Dolly Parton. Quote I love that she made an
29:44
impact. Whether you like her music or
29:45
not, she made an. Impact.
29:46
Yeah, she still does. She's my mom.
29:49
Watched her Christmas, her Christmas special with her
29:51
family every year they do. You want to go to Dolly World?
29:55
Dolly Land? Dolly World.
29:56
I'm not going to lie to you, Dollywood.
29:58
Dollywood Yep, Thank you. I got you.
30:00
I not I didn't hate Dolly Parton, but growing up my mom
30:04
had this CD and it was I wanna say it was like Kenny Rogers and
30:07
Dolly Parton Christmas special. She kept buying this stupid CD
30:10
and Sam I would hide it every year the same city she keep
30:15
buying it because we kept hiding it or breaking it or getting rid
30:17
of it or throwing out whatever cause she played every year and
30:19
I was like this is so annoying and now that I'm an adult I'm
30:22
like you know it would be really good to listen to.
30:25
You're like, I should have just let her have some fucking joy
30:27
around. Continuously Christmas.
30:30
But it's also, it's like such a cute little memory that she's
30:32
like, Oh yeah, I remember buying those over and over again.
30:34
And like the amount of times I'll buy one and just leave it
30:36
at her house now to like make up for it.
30:38
So if she finds like 10 at her house, it's just me.
30:40
Every once in a while if I see one, like at like Value Village,
30:42
I will buy it and put it back in her house.
30:45
Let me make up my shenanigans. Christmas music is so I find it
30:50
so freaking no, but I, I have reasons why the music
30:58
specifically irks me. Cause my first job was HMB,
31:01
right? And they gave us like playlists.
31:06
We weren't allowed to play like just whatever we wanted.
31:08
We could like during prep hours. Like there was, the store had
31:13
like a CD thing that was connected to the sound system.
31:16
And if we were not open open like if we were doing inventory
31:20
or whatever, we were like that. Yeah.
31:23
But if we were actually operating hours, we had to
31:26
listen like this playlist sent from like HR or whatever.
31:30
And it was thematic. Like they did update it.
31:33
I think it was like quarterly or bimonthly or something.
31:36
I don't remember how often it was updated.
31:38
It was not a lot. The Christmas one we started
31:42
playing I think in October. On for way too long or like
31:47
starts too early, yes. And all of the HMV playlists
31:51
were like, I want to say like 15 songs and then like four or
31:58
five, like movie trailers or like release drops or something
32:02
where a guy was like, so this movie coming out and whatever,
32:05
it was a cool thing. There was like 5 or six of
32:07
those, four or five, whatever. And in total, the playlist was
32:12
probably hour and a half, two hours long like tops.
32:16
You listen to this like 4 times a day on reboot.
32:19
Yeah, however, however, however. It also would automatically
32:26
restart every so often. Ohf.
32:28
So it would get like 3/4 of the way and then literally caught in
32:33
the middle of something and start over at the beginning of
32:35
the the playlist or it would get like half of the way and like
32:38
kind of know when it restarted during the day.
32:39
I don't know why or what like this specificity for it starting
32:43
again was yeah, but like that was a thing that they did on
32:47
their end. Like we didn't control that.
32:49
It literally just did it. And and so you'd get used to
32:53
hearing like 3/4 of like 1 Christmas song or something and
32:57
you be like, well, I fucking hate that song because I can
32:59
never hear the end of it. And then, yeah, having to listen
33:03
to the same like 15 songs all day long for three months.
33:07
Shoot me in the head. And now like the mall, like we,
33:11
because we're in Centre Court, when we do the Santa stuff, we
33:14
hear everybody's Christmas music, really anybody that is
33:18
around us because like there is the PA system and they usually
33:21
play Christmas music. They haven't, they didn't much
33:25
last year actually, probably due to me complaining.
33:28
Like they, they played like normal, whatever.
33:32
But like we can also hear like the stores that are closest to
33:35
us that are playing music, it like funnels into us.
33:38
So we hear all of these songs at once and it's horrendous,
33:42
especially because, like, they're all like Christmassy
33:44
songs. Yeah, no, I'm not.
33:46
I feel like if I could like get rid of a holiday it would be
33:48
Christmas. Like the decoration just fine.
33:50
I love the light but like, it's expensive, it's annoying, it's
33:53
too much Halloween. However, it brings me a lot of
33:55
money. That's fair, I know, and I you
33:58
can keep your pictures, just not the rest of it.
34:00
I own Santa, don't you know? Yes, you do.
34:03
I love telling people that. What does that mean?
34:07
Well, I love it. Like if I have a problem with
34:09
my, I'm like, you want me to call you and Allison?
34:10
She'll tell Santa she's with him right now.
34:12
You know, that only works so long, though.
34:14
So Gemma had to come to work with me a few times.
34:16
Yeah, during the Christmas season.
34:18
And we kept just, she kept doing pics.
34:20
She was helpful. Like, it wasn't like a nuisance
34:22
or anything. She, you know, would keep kids
34:24
amused and stuff. She's a good kid.
34:26
And she got bored really easily, obviously, because like, what is
34:30
there to do? So being like, go do this, go do
34:33
this. Like there was the VR thing.
34:34
There's an art store. Like I was like, oh, do
34:36
whatever. But she kept doing pictures.
34:38
So I kept printing them because I was like, Oh, you saw the
34:41
pictures, right? So she's gonna hang these in my
34:43
locker. So she goes to school and she
34:46
hangs in the locker and she comes home and she's like, I'm
34:48
like, So what does everybody think of you with all these
34:51
Santa pictures in your lot? Because I'm picturing like
34:54
bullying, right? Like, or you believe in Santa.
34:57
Like, who are you? Right.
34:58
So because kids are all so she comes home and like, So what
35:01
does, what does everything of you with all these lockers?
35:04
And she's like, she's like, Oh, they think it's funny.
35:06
I tell them all that's George. And I'm like, I don't think
35:09
you're supposed to because in my head, like there are still kids
35:12
that age that believe in simple. So I was like, maybe don't do
35:14
that. So she's like, no, I just open
35:16
my locker and I'm like, hi, George.
35:19
'S name is George. ID.
35:22
I would just like to point out that you are now my favorite
35:24
number. Cool.
35:26
Should I keep going? Because OK, this is gonna sound
35:30
really bad but like I feel like I don't have a lot to contribute
35:33
to. But you.
35:34
Do discussing music because people genuinely like my opinion
35:38
on music in general is I like what I like like I can't
35:42
definitively be like I hate this genre because I don't There are
35:45
things in every genre that I will listen to, I will play I
35:49
don't think for whatever so it's.
35:51
Not like I'm not like a jazz. Person no.
35:53
Even then I could. There's some stuff that they are
35:55
like Electro swing and shit. Like there's some things that
35:58
pop up and I'm like damn EDM, I can fuck with it, whatever.
36:01
You like the Vampire Diary where they play jazz?
36:03
And I was like, that's not bad. Not the way I'd listen to, but
36:06
it's not bad. But like you can contribute like
36:08
concerts. I went to warped.
36:11
Tour for like your karaoke. So I went to the I went to Last
36:15
Warp tour that was held in Canada.
36:16
So never tell you. OK, So it was actually really
36:18
funny story. So I got a credit card when I
36:21
was in college and then they increase my credit limit and
36:26
that was one of the things they bought myself was the ticket to
36:28
work tour. I love that.
36:30
And so that was back when I drove the Ford, the big truck.
36:34
And I get in there and it's that Budweiser, like that whole thing
36:40
though, like it's on like the island and over in the state,
36:43
like it's, it's all of it because they weren't doing like
36:46
the three day like they normally do.
36:47
It was literally one day. So it was all day long.
36:49
Yeah. And I went, I actually knew a
36:52
lot of people there. So like my mom didn't want me to
36:54
go alone, but I was like, no, like I knew probably 5 or 6
36:59
people that were going to be there.
37:00
I just wasn't like actively going with them.
37:02
But what had happened was my cousin Troy was in a motorcycle
37:06
accident with a moose Cheese. And then he was in a hospital in
37:10
Toronto. So a bunch of my family was
37:13
like, we should go down and like meet him.
37:15
And I was like, oh, that's funny story because like I have to go
37:18
anyway because they didn't have enough people or like seats in
37:21
the car. Yeah, to get there for all the
37:23
people that wanted to go. And I was like, funny cause I'm
37:24
going anyway. And I have a hotel.
37:27
So they also just like jumped in on the hotel thing and we all
37:30
went and they went to the hospital or whatever, hung out
37:32
at the hotel and I went to Warped Tour.
37:34
I did go see my cousin. I'm not a heartless bitch.
37:36
So I drive in and there's like nowhere to park.
37:39
It's obnoxious because it's Warped Tour and everybody in
37:42
their seventeen friends is there.
37:44
And I ended up accidentally parking in the bands area
37:50
because I got in this like really narrow thing thinking
37:54
like, oh, I could turn around at the end of it.
37:56
I could not so ended up in in the in the gates and then I
38:01
couldn't back out either because other people were coming in
38:04
behind me and I was like, well, I guess this is where I stay
38:06
now. So I became a band and then it
38:13
was great. Yeah.
38:15
And then I saw a lot of bands that day.
38:17
Motionless In White, some 41 as it is the main was a great day.
38:23
Real big fish. Also see this was years ago
38:26
though. So anyway, so I put a lot of
38:28
sunscreen on. Still got like severely burnt.
38:30
Like probably as bad as you did. Like it hurt to drive home that
38:33
night. And but when I got back into my
38:35
car, so couldn't leave because I was still stuck.
38:38
So I had to drive over the curb down the trail a little bit to
38:43
get to the next aisle of like cars to turn and get out.
38:47
So they got I drove a big ass truck back there.
38:49
Really, though, but like, my sunburn hurts so bad that I had
38:51
to cover my my arm with a blanket to drive because like,
38:55
even just a little bit of sun hitting my arm was like, I'm
38:58
going to die. Yeah.
39:00
Yeah. My first concert was Marianas
39:02
Trench. Really.
39:04
Yeah, I think my first like actual concept with concert
39:07
content. You can send to the concert.
39:10
My first actual concert was Ariana Grande with Tegan.
39:13
When was that? A long time ago actually.
39:15
Fun fact, Sam and Paul drove us. I was not old enough to drive
39:18
and Sam I think had her G1 or G2 something, I don't know, it
39:23
would have been like G2 or G. He does.
39:25
On the way back Paul was driving and Sam came with us.
39:28
So they went like Adventure Toronto, well taken.
39:30
And I went to the concert and then on the way back we got
39:32
pulled over and they were they told Paul that his license was
39:35
expired or was not not suspended.
39:37
It was expired. So Sam had to drive the rest of
39:39
the way home. It's like, thank goodness she
39:41
game. But that was a interesting one.
39:43
And then it was like stuff at the exhibition, like in Toronto,
39:47
Dad took us to a few there like Marianne or down with Webster,
39:50
you know, the guy from the show, 24, Keith Keither, Kiefer
39:55
Sutherland, something like. That I know who that is, yeah.
39:58
I got to see his band perform, which is weird.
40:01
Oh, I saw was it Stolen Sour and Ozzy Osbourne and that was super
40:05
cool. That's when I was pregnant for
40:06
sure. Dad and Susan and Taylor.
40:08
I don't know, I think Douglas is there.
40:10
That's really all I can. Think of off Cindy Lauper last
40:12
summer. Yes, yes, you did.
40:14
That's a cool. That was his first concert and
40:18
good Lord that Lady might be pushing elderly but God damn she
40:23
can move. Love that.
40:24
Good for her, I'll buy him that nibble.
40:28
What does she like 70 something? She's gotta be getting up there.
40:31
I also my I have a story about music that is not about a
40:35
concert, but it is about music. OK at my wedding the like Garter
40:40
toss or whatever. Yeah.
40:41
They were supposed to play so Taylor had like this big plan.
40:45
So the song Cherry Pie and that's how I know it's height
40:47
and then the summer 69 is how I know his birth year.
40:50
So cherry pie I was like oh like that's a cool 1.
40:52
So I was obsessed with that song and this would be the song for
40:54
the Garter toss and the DJ did not play that.
40:56
They ended up playing like the pony song from.
40:59
I I remember genuine. Yeah, my Magic Mike.
41:05
I actually remember. I was like, I was to the side
41:10
where I could see both of you from that.
41:13
And when that fucking song came on, the look on your face, you
41:17
were like, what the fuck? Literally I was like, there's no
41:21
way this. Is by that so I don't know
41:22
happening. I'm not that guy.
41:26
This is not happening right now. But I was just like, whatever.
41:30
But no, it was. That was an interesting one.
41:33
I think that's all I have for music.
41:35
What do you think of music therapy?
41:38
You ever heard about that? No, it's like an occupational
41:42
therapy thing. People use it in like like
41:46
children's trauma stuff and in like elderly, like dementia,
41:51
whatever they say. It helps you remember.
41:53
Things I'm telling you, I still don't remember anything and I
41:55
listen to a lot. Well, I don't know if there's
41:58
like a gimmick about it or if you can just play any song you
42:01
want, but I know that these people have like, I think that
42:04
actual therapy degrees who come in and play like the guitar and
42:08
shit and have like a share. So I don't know, I'm just making
42:11
shit up. Like that does happen, though.
42:14
The the, the, the therapy part of it.
42:17
I don't know the process of it, do you?
42:19
Believe in life after trauma. Just because I do a really good
42:24
share impression, don't come at. Me.
42:27
Not a good impression, says that kind of music.
42:29
I'd say the share one does for sure.
42:31
Give it to me. Ohk no.
42:32
Oh yeah. I I was actually recently
42:35
working on a Barack Obama impression.
42:38
Really. But I'm not gonna do it.
42:43
Honestly, I love your shrimp and king Julian.
42:50
No legs, but we love it all the same piece.
42:53
She's really quite happy. He's quite happy.
42:56
The last episode was editing and I got to the chairperson.
42:59
I was like, wow, that was an impression.
43:02
It was like shares in the podcast.
43:04
Share Bitch. We could just like put in random
43:10
clips of you doing impressions and be like, guess who joined us
43:14
today? A special.
43:16
Guest One Nation is great. Somebody called Michelle.
43:19
This is great. I'm working on that one.
43:21
That one. I gotta workshop that one a
43:22
little more. I gotta get deeper on that one.
43:23
I love this. That's my Barack Obama
43:25
impression. Yeah.
43:29
I'm not going to continue with that, but, you know, can do
43:33
that. See, I have such a weird, like,
43:35
relationship with music because my my mom signed me up for piano
43:41
lessons when I was a kid. Yeah.
43:43
And I both loved it and hated it at the same time.
43:48
Sure I had when we were in Keppel.
43:50
She was like super fun, super easy to understand, but like she
43:53
was in Keppel specifically. Like she wasn't like outside of
43:58
that. Like literally I would like skip
44:00
my recess or something to go like do my whatever.
44:04
So it was like literally during school time.
44:07
And then when we got out of Keppel, my mom was like, oh, you
44:11
should like continue to learn. Like so we found somebody and I
44:17
could not. It was like so vastly different
44:21
in the styles and I was just like, Nope, I'm done.
44:24
I'm out because I didn't fucking understand any.
44:28
Fair. Honestly, when I took vocals in
44:31
high school, I 100% I skipped out on my exam because I was
44:35
like, you're not singing solo in front of people.
44:37
I don't know what I'm doing. It's way easier to pretend to
44:39
sing when other people are singing than to actually sing.
44:42
There's like no, no. So I completely failed that
44:44
course because I did not go to the exam and like knowing I.
44:46
Was I would fail? I was like, yeah, I thought
44:50
about doing vocals, but then I was like, yeah, I'm not going to
44:53
sing in front of people, right? So I was like, what an easy
44:56
elective course, right? But then they're like, you have
44:58
to sing solo. And I was like y'all didn't tell
45:00
me this is the beginning or I would have dropped out way
45:02
sooner. I was in the choir in.
45:05
Yeah, I only did drama once. Yeah, no, I need drama all four
45:09
years. And that's when I started
45:10
dating. What's his name?
45:13
I recall. Tegan and I put on up, I don't
45:15
know what the play where it's just like a person sitting there
45:18
talking monologue, monologue. We put on a monologue being a
45:23
psychopath teachers like I don't think you can read that.
45:25
And my older sister was like, send me that.
45:26
It's so good. And I was like but my sister
45:28
loves it. You know what I've said?
45:32
Monologues. I remember what my monologue was
45:33
about and it hurt a lot of. People's feelings.
45:36
Oh, what was your model on? So it was it, it only hurt the
45:41
people who understood why it was upsetting.
45:44
But the monologue was about like, this girl wakes up from
45:47
like a dream and she's like she's grown up, but like her
45:51
dream was when she was a kid. And she's like dreaming about
45:53
her dad. And she wakes up from the dream
45:55
and it's supposed to be like she's next to her husband.
45:57
So she gets up and she's pacing the room like talking to
46:00
herself, like trying to talk through it.
46:01
And baseline of it is like the dream is a memory she had of her
46:07
dad. And then she starts trying to
46:08
justify things and she's like mad about it.
46:11
So she's like throwing things and trying not to wake up her
46:14
husband. But like, the line in it is
46:17
basically she really wanted ice cream.
46:20
One night he went out to go get it from a store or whatever and
46:25
he got into a car accident, died.
46:26
Yeah. So she blames herself for it.
46:29
So the very last line in the monologue is like her slowly.
46:34
I mean, it was me, I guess, not her, whatever.
46:38
So it's her climbing back into the bed very like slowly and
46:41
like mechanically, like on autopilot basically because
46:45
she's like throwing stuff around and like how to freak out
46:47
whatever she's trying to take her husband clips back into bed.
46:50
And the last line before the lights dim is I don't eat ice
46:54
cream anymore. And team was still in my class.
46:59
Yeah. And so like, obviously, like,
47:01
misspellings new and Tegan new. And there are a couple other
47:03
people who knew about, like, my dad and everything.
47:07
And I just remember those. And my voice cracked on it
47:10
because, like, it's not for me. It's like, actually like, I'm
47:15
genuinely thinking about like, losing my own dad and all this
47:18
stuff. And it's personal.
47:20
Crapped on the line. And yeah, as the lights went
47:23
down, I just heard she can go. Oh.
47:25
Yeah. I was like, well, I thought I
47:28
was like, I got an A on that one.
47:30
But like it, it's I don't know if that counts for drama class
47:35
or not because I don't know if that's acting.
47:37
Valid. Because that is that's a raw
47:40
emotion that I actually had. Like, obviously the situation is
47:43
not the same. Like my dad was sick for years.
47:46
But like, but it, it's still like it hits when you lose a
47:50
parent and you're like, oh, well, that's especially when
47:53
they say like by the time you're 18, you spent probably 80% of
47:57
the time that you will spend with your parents.
48:00
Yeah. Because you're supposed to like
48:01
leave at 18 and go live the rest of your life or whatever.
48:03
So like the red that last like 20% is, is sporadic, right?
48:08
You're like, you're dropping in, you're going to lunch, you're
48:10
doing whatever. But like, up until like that 18
48:13
point, you were under the roof supposedly with them doing
48:17
everything together because that's your unit.
48:19
That's all, you know. Yeah.
48:20
So like they say that's 80%. So like for me, I was like, it
48:24
was a month before I turned 12. Yeah.
48:27
You know, and like, like I stopped carrying my birthday.
48:30
It was at least. So like it's such a raw thing
48:32
even now that like there is here.
48:35
I'll tie it back to music for you so you don't have to give me
48:38
a point for this is crazy. There are there there are songs
48:43
that like I attribute to my dad so much that like when they come
48:47
on because they're not like songs that like they're on my
48:50
Spotify, but I don't like regularly, you know, put them in
48:53
the shuffle or anything. But like if I'm one of them is
48:58
1234 by Feist, I think that's you pronounce your name.
49:01
OK. Do you know this?
49:03
Song. I don't think so.
49:05
I'd have to hear it. I'm not good with names.
49:08
It's like 1234. Tell me that you love me more.
49:12
Sweetness times. Like whatever you know much
49:15
about. I don't know that one, but I
49:17
like the sound of it. It's cute.
49:19
Well you should listen to it. It's, it's weirdly enough, my
49:22
dad liked a few songs of hers. And every so often when I'm
49:26
having like a really shitty time or like, especially when I'm
49:30
driving by myself, like contemplating a whole bunch of
49:32
like, really heavy shit, yeah, that song will just come on.
49:36
And I'm like, OK, He says it's OK.
49:38
It's going to be OK, Right. And sometimes it's not even my
49:42
Spotify. Sometimes it's just genuinely on
49:44
the radio. And I'm like, this song hasn't
49:46
been popular for like 10 years. So like, what are you doing?
49:49
Yeah, so it's like there is like a tie I guess to to memories and
49:54
and music. But like, yeah, on the whole I
49:57
can't really think of fun ones there.
50:01
I learned a lot of instruments for really dumb reasons.
50:04
I think the only instrument I ever like.
50:06
I didn't learn this because I with the clarinet I kept losing
50:08
the read with the drums. I mean, they've been apart since
50:11
we moved here. Mine got Donald lost or stolen
50:15
when I was like, I want to say like three years after I got it,
50:17
maybe 2 years. Grandpa died before he was
50:20
supposed to teach me. So.
50:21
Yeah, mine was piano. And then I quit the piano
50:25
because I could understand that Lady.
50:28
And then that was also when we went into Hillcrest and I
50:33
learned the flute. And then I told Gemma this year
50:37
with you there to pick an instrument.
50:38
And I was like, OK, you can pick literally any instrument except
50:41
for the flute, and I'll tell you why.
50:42
And this little guy comes home, I'm playing the flute.
50:45
And I was like, are you for real?
50:49
Wrong choice. I gave you one instruction and I
50:52
told you exactly why it's hard. I was like any other.
50:57
Give me the triangle any day. I think she wanted to play the
51:00
drums but like they only let I think one kid play the drums and
51:04
I don't know how they make that choice because that seems
51:06
really. Shitty to me, I'm pretty sure it
51:09
has to be a good display the drugs before.
51:11
Like they don't just give it to anyone because they're fine
51:13
without them. Same with guitars.
51:14
Like it has bacon who knows how to play guitar because they
51:16
can't take. The time to actually teach?
51:18
That's stupid blue. I played, I learned how to play
51:23
the bass guitar because I really like Guitar Hero, don't judge
51:26
me. And then play the ukulele
51:29
because I could play the bass guitar.
51:31
And then Charlene and Adam got married and she wanted her high
51:37
school teacher who lives like 2 doors down from my mom to play
51:41
the violin at her wedding. And she had said yes up until
51:45
like it was like a week and a half prior to their wedding and
51:49
she had gotten sick or like something had happened and she
51:51
had to like pull it last second and was like, why don't we do?
51:54
And I was like, I'll learn the wedding March and how to play
51:57
the violin in a week. Never my life had I played the
52:01
violin. You were there, I think probably
52:05
real mission wedding. Yeah, I played that shoot in a
52:09
week because I play it now. Probably not.
52:13
I also. Like riding your bike.
52:15
Got maybe, but I I don't. I don't know.
52:19
I got distracted in the middle of playing it too.
52:23
Like there was I like started and it was like, and then like
52:27
my mom came out with my sister and like it was just like, we've
52:31
done the motional. Well, kind of like it wasn't
52:34
like like, Oh my God, boohoo, but I just was like, wow, they
52:37
look really pretty. Oh, those are my family.
52:40
That's crazy. And then I realized, and then I
52:43
like tuned back into my own brain and I was like, I'm in the
52:45
middle of playing a song. Oh my God.
52:48
And I was like, I wonder if anybody noticed that that note
52:51
went on for way longer than it was supposed to.
52:54
I don't know. But like for learning how to
52:56
play it in a week, I give myself Gold Star.
52:59
Oh yeah, absolutely. Michael's really into the cello,
53:02
I've ever told you that. Really.
53:04
Yeah, so he learned before they moved and before he was in high
53:08
school, the school he was at had like a really nice program and
53:13
he was learning the cello and then they got into this.
53:17
Then he got into high school. Well then they switched schools
53:20
when they moved and they didn't have Patella program when I was
53:23
like oh we should find one like we should, you know, continue
53:26
learning. The only like person that I
53:29
could find in the area was like a long and Mcquade, but they
53:32
were like on the other side of London and I was like oh really?
53:34
Make that drive all. So then he started playing.
53:38
It's called the euphonium. Don't ask me what the hell it is
53:41
because I don't know, but that's what he's playing right now in
53:43
school. Yeah, I couldn't pronounce it
53:46
for the first like 3 months. He was playing it so valid and
53:49
you couldn't even spell it. So I was like, what is it?
53:52
He was like, I don't know. And I'm like, well how do you,
53:54
how do you play it and not know? Like how do you spell it?
53:57
I don't know. I'm like, what do you mean?
54:00
What does it look like? A big oboe?
54:02
I was like what is that mean that not just an oboe?
54:08
Elbow XL. OK, whining about like, woodwind
54:13
instruments and shit. I'm like, what is it?
54:15
What are you saying? I'm trying to tell you now he
54:18
wants to play the guitar. So I was like, well, if you
54:22
actually show some dedication to it and you play it, you can have
54:25
my old one. So that's his motivation for it.
54:28
Hopefully he actually sticks to an instrument, plays it.
54:30
Yeah, who knows? Your concert I was supposed to
54:33
go to but then I couldn't because they cancelled.
54:37
It because I have one too. Rob Zombie and Marilyn and they
54:44
had to cancel that part of the tour because of something.
54:46
And I was so fucking mad. And they were like, they, they
54:51
rescheduled it, but like they were like, so you you can still
54:55
use your ticket and push it to this new date.
54:57
And I was like but the new date doesn't work for me.
55:01
Yeah. So I haven't seen them in
55:04
concert. Unfortunately, me and Jessica
55:06
are supposed to go see Michael Jackson in concert.
55:08
I am died like a jerk. That's right.
55:11
You know what? I have a story about that too.
55:14
Well, listen, we can't all stick around to the end.
55:17
I I've seen Walk off the Earth three times.
55:21
OK. That's what Billy Joel said.
55:23
The first time was like my first concert.
55:25
They were the opener for Mariana Trench because they weren't like
55:28
super popular back then. That was getting started.
55:30
The second time was because they're they're from Burlington.
55:34
Burlington. Yeah.
55:36
It was like, you're Brampton, but it's Burlington.
55:38
So they had lost. They call him Beard Guy.
55:42
I couldn't tell you what his actual name is, but he, I forget
55:47
what he died of, but he died. And then so they held like a
55:51
like concert vigil thing and like Burlington and I was like
55:54
mega stick. But my roommate at the time in
55:57
college, we were like, we were like, we should go.
56:01
I was like, hell yeah, get the Nyquil.
56:04
So I was like so drugged up on like cold medication that I feel
56:11
like I hallucinated 90% of that. And then she and I went again
56:18
when they were on tour, like officially on tour.
56:21
It was a little bit after this like vigil thing.
56:23
They'd gotten somebody to replace him.
56:25
And so I was like, this isn't as good because they were like on
56:28
tour when he died. So it was like the last thing.
56:31
They were like, well, but it was like they hadn't really gotten
56:34
the time to practice with this new guy, I guess.
56:36
Right. So we didn't get the vibe.
56:38
Yeah. And so but they had like,
56:39
literally, I think two or three more shows in that tour.
56:43
So they were like, oh, I guess we might as well just finish it.
56:47
I don't know. Because like, what do you do at
56:49
that point? Honestly, what are your options?
56:52
And they were like the, they were the shows, like right there
56:55
was the shows closest to like their hometown because it was
56:57
like all the Toronto shows. I'm like Hamilton and stuff.
57:00
So they were like, well, yeah, we might as well play.
57:02
We were like home now. So I've seen them three times,
57:06
but every time has been slightly different.
57:08
Honestly love that. I really weird does that they've
57:13
been a different band every time it's not on.
57:16
Purpose. That's wild.
57:19
I've seen the same band three times, but it was different
57:21
every time. All right, on that note.
57:22
Yeah, well, because the guy died and then they played without
57:25
him, and then they played with the new guy.
57:27
Would you like to know our point?
57:29
I don't know, would I? This one, I did it at first I
57:33
was like we're going to do it like a couple of points at a
57:35
time. So it was like 12 to 6 and now
57:39
it is, I changed it up how I was taking points.
57:42
So now, now you are at 1625 and I'm at 1375 because I started
57:51
doing it by hundreds and then I started doing it by like 25 and
57:53
I was like, we're just going to see what happens.
57:55
But I'd like you to know when I do our points, they are on
57:58
separate notes. So I go in and I'll add like a
58:00
random 1 here and there and a random 1 here and there.
58:02
And at the end of it I have to go back in and figure out what
58:05
it is. So I win, good for me, I think.
