Transcript
- 0:00Welcome to, this is my circus, the podcast where we embrace the chaos and keep it real about parenting, pop culture, true crime, and the books we can't put down because let's be honest, life is one big circus and we're just trying to survive with caffeine, sarcasm, and a little true crime obsession.
- 0:15So if you love unfiltered conversation, questionable parenting hacks, and deep dives into the things that keep us up at night, you're in the right place.
- 0:23Buckle up, grab your popcorn, and let's get into the chaos.
- 0:27/You were, uh, trying to figure out what color?
- 0:29Do you know what color?
- 0:30I think, just because I, I have, I can't make a decision right now.
- 0:33Mm-hmm.
- 0:33Because I should not be making a decision right now.
- 0:36I'm just gonna do my roots.
- 0:39I saw this thing the other night that was funny.
- 0:41It was, this girl who had been at, I wanna say like medical school and you know how we do drastic things when we shouldn't.
- 0:49And she was like, every time I wanted to cut my bangs, I would cut my Guinea pigs and it showed all these crazy haircuts on the Guinea pig, like with the, like, one time I had like a widow's peak and one time like the terrible bang straight across.
- 1:04It was hilarious.
- 1:05It was hilarious.
- 1:06Are you recording?
- 1:07'cause that's a funny story.
- 1:08It's, yeah, I think so.
- 1:11I'm Stephanie.
- 1:12I'm Meredith.
- 1:13And welcome to, this is my circus.
- 1:16I'm sorry, I forgot your birthday present.

- 1:20Okay.
- 1:21Give me another reason to come hang out.
- 1:23Yay.
- 1:24How have you been?
- 1:25Good.
- 1:26Good.
- 1:27I, um, kind of, I dunno.
- 1:31Busy.
- 1:31Yeah.
- 1:32Yeah.
- 1:33We'll figure that.
- 1:33Busy.
- 1:34Busy.
- 1:34I liked our mini app we dropped last week.
- 1:36I did too.
- 1:37I thought that was fun.
- 1:38Yeah.
- 1:38Nice, short, sweet.
- 1:39Mm-hmm.
- 1:40To the point.
- 1:40Yep.
- 1:41No fluff.
- 1:42No, no, no fluff.
- 1:44None of this silly banter.
- 1:46Mm.
- 1:46None of the silly banter.
- 1:47So we went on vacation.
- 1:49that was one of the reasons we had to kind of do a mini up.
- 1:52Mm-hmm.
- 1:53Because we had some things going on.
- 1:55And let me tell you, so it was me and Brian.
- 1:57Mm-hmm.
- 1:58And Jackson.
- 1:59Okay.
- 2:01Told Jackson he could invite a friend because, you know, so he invited four.
- 2:06Are you serious?
- 2:07I'm so serious.
- 2:09Oh my God.
- 2:10So it was me and Brian, and then five teenage boys.
- 2:14It was not the most relaxing vacation I've ever been on.
- 2:19I would say so.
- 2:20But one of the most entertaining.
- 2:21Mm-hmm.
- 2:23Okay.
- 2:23So we, when we went to Callenburg that first night, we had an Airbnb.
- 2:27Brian and I got there in about four hours, which is not bad, you know, stopping a couple of times or whatever.
- 2:32Seven hours later they show up.
- 2:34They had been stopping to take pictures.
- 2:37Oh.
- 2:37Peacocks and all of them.
- 2:39And they went to like get Walmart snacks and they did all like, we were only there for like three days.
- 2:44You would've thought that it was gonna be like a month long thing.
- 2:47So the Airbnb, we stayed at the first night, had a hot tub.
- 2:51Okay.
- 2:52Well, Brian and I had already got it in in there and we were like, let's get out.
- 2:57The boys are coming.
- 2:58I had to do some work stuff, turn in my time sheet and stuff like that.
- 3:00So I was like, I'll we'll get out and we'll wait.
- 3:02And then they can come and we'll help them get settled and show them around, whatever.
- 3:07So here they come.
- 3:08Mm-hmm.
- 3:0910, 11 o'clock at night, whatever it was.
- 3:12Loud cra you know, doing all the, yep.
- 3:16Let's go.
- 3:16You know, all the things.
- 3:17So they decide they're all gonna go get in the hot tub.
- 3:21Let me see.
- 3:22It was, it was well over a thousand pounds worth of kids because there was one kid that's not a football lineman.
- 3:29Mm-hmm.
- 3:30They get in the hot tub and there's just water coming out over the hot tub.
- 3:34I assume it was outside.
- 3:35It was outside.
- 3:37One of the boys has got, he had stopped.
- 3:40At their, at the store and he had honey buns and he's sitting in there with honey buns in each hand, double fist and honey buns.
- 3:47They're all trying to fit in there, but I mean, they're big guys.
- 3:51Yeah.
- 3:51I mean, just shy of 300 pounds, some of'em.
- 3:53So they are, they're not small.
- 3:55And so they're all like barely fitting in this little, oh my gosh.
- 3:58That was just the start of it.
- 4:00Take a picture.
- 4:01Oh, I have the video.
- 4:01Do you wanna see it?
- 4:02Yes.
- 4:03It was so much fun.
- 4:06Again, not relaxing at all, but it was a lot of fun.
- 4:10So how did, how did the realization that he invited four kids come up?
- 4:14Was it like, Hey Jackson, which one of which one of your friends is coming?
- 4:18No, it was a, Hey mama, I think I messed up.
- 4:21And you know, I start thinking, oh my gosh, what have we done?
- 4:25And he's like, well, I invited.
- 4:27Multiple people thinking that only one, maybe two could come.
- 4:32And he was like, but they all can come and this guy's gonna drive and we're all gonna ride with him.
- 4:37I was like, okay.
- 4:37Well then Banton couldn't go.
- 4:40Okay.
- 4:41And I was like, oh, okay, so we're just out.
- 4:43Nope, he invited somebody else.
- 4:47So here's the, here's the video.
- 4:49Oh, it's a tiny little, it's a tiny hot tub, but okay.
- 4:52There's the double fist in the honey buns, so anyway, times have changed because at that age I was double fist in something else.
- 5:00They're really good sweet boys.
- 5:03We were not, no, I'm just kidding.
- 5:04We had our moments, but it was just a fun time.
- 5:07Yeah a lot, a lot of stories happened.
- 5:10They made some good memories together.
- 5:13I need another vacation.
- 5:14Yeah.
- 5:15Yeah.
- 5:15We need a girls trip.
- 5:18Absolutely.
- 5:18We've been talking about this.
- 5:19We've just gotta schedule it.
- 5:20Do it.
- 5:21I know.
- 5:21Are you booking it right now?
- 5:22Yeah.
- 5:23No.
- 5:23Um, one other funny thing that happened though when we were there is I ran out to the car to get something uh, so after that first night we stayed in, condos and there was like several different buildings I got ours all mixed up and I'm banging on the wrong room door and I'm like, oh my gosh, I know they're in there.
- 5:40What are they doing?
- 5:41And I continued to bang and all of a sudden, and I had food in my hand.
- 5:44'cause I had gone to like get some of the snacks and stuff from the car.
- 5:47And this woman who I had never seen in my life, and this little kid opened the door and I was like, I'm so sorry.
- 5:53It's the wrong room.
- 5:55And there was this old man, like papa was sitting in the living room and was like waving.
- 6:00I was like, Hey.
- 6:01And they were like, we'll take the Oreos.
- 6:03And I was like, no, no, no, no, no, you won't.
- 6:06So two stories kind of sum up the whole adventure.
- 6:09But it was a good time.
- 6:10Good.
- 6:10Yeah.
- 6:10It was a good time.
- 6:11But yeah, definitely need the girls trip now.
- 6:13Mm-hmm.
- 6:14To recover from the family trip.
- 6:17Oh my gosh.
- 6:18I can't believe I went to the wrong door.
- 6:19Family friends.
- 6:20Oh my God.
- 6:21Oh my God.
- 6:23We haven't really done anything.
- 6:24Okay, so Dylan mm-hmm.
- 6:26Is currently obsessed with, you know, like, those like giant like Guinea pig looking things from, um, like cap barrel.
- 6:33Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 6:34I can never, I call'em capis'cause I can never, yeah.
- 6:37I don't know if I'm saying it right, but, so Dylan's like, they're like the coolest freaking animals ever.
- 6:41Mm-hmm.
- 6:41And at Darby Farms in Charlotte, like, it's like.
- 6:4515 minutes from here.
- 6:46Okay.
- 6:47They have an experience to like, you know, I like an experience matrix.
- 6:53So they have that and they have otters shoddy?
- 6:58Yes.
- 6:58Are y'all going?
- 6:59I think so, yeah.
- 7:00So yesterday I was looking and their website to get tickets.
- 7:04It is like super hard to navigate.
- 7:06It's not an easy, they need honey drop media to update their socials and their website.
- 7:12it's like just not easy.
- 7:13Mm-hmm.
- 7:14To do everything.
- 7:15Because if you want this, the general admissions included and you have to buy the general admission for each animal.
- 7:21Instead of one general mission you and then add on, you can't do like an add-on.
- 7:25Okay.
- 7:25You know what I mean?
- 7:26Yeah.
- 7:26We were looking and then like the otters are only available at certain times mm-hmm.
- 7:30Of the day.
- 7:31So the otters are sometimes available?
- 7:32Sometimes not.
- 7:33Not, yeah.
- 7:34But they've got a very busy social calendar.
- 7:36Mm-hmm.
- 7:36Yeah.
- 7:37So I am like super excited that it's so close.
- 7:40Yes.
- 7:41Um, they also have like lemurs and you can do like the whole shebang.
- 7:45Okay.
- 7:45Which is like a two hours long.
- 7:47It's your general admission to do the walkthrough.
- 7:50Uh, and then you get certain, I guess interactions or whatever, but Okay.
- 7:53It does, it doesn't say you're guaranteeing these interactions.
- 7:55Right.
- 7:56Like, I wanna do the two that he really wants to do.
- 7:58So Yeah, of course.
- 7:59But yeah.
- 8:00That's awesome.
- 8:01I know I'm so, they've got kangaroo, but like now I'm kinda scared of Kroos.
- 8:04Yeah, absolutely.
- 8:05I've got a little bit of a fear Uhhuh.
- 8:07Um, hopefully not, they're not the like Arnold Schwarzenegger looking ones.
- 8:11So what do you get to do?
- 8:12Do you get to pet them?
- 8:13Yeah, so it just says not guaranteed to touch, because I guess it depends on how, their temperament is that day.
- 8:17Mm-hmm.
- 8:18But all the videos that I saw, they're all super chill it looks like.
- 8:21And so yeah, they've got lemurs,, which lemurs are not like the I like to move it, move it little guys like.
- 8:27Right, right, right.
- 8:28They're not, they're not King Julian.
- 8:30No, they are not King Julian like.
- 8:32They don't look like King Julian.
- 8:34I still look a little different.
- 8:35There's no fruit crown going on.
- 8:37So I was like, yeah, that's not one that I really have an interest in doing.
- 8:40Mm-hmm.
- 8:41There's like a porcupine experience.
- 8:43Have you seen baby porcupines?
- 8:44Yes.
- 8:45I just saw a video on them so freaking cute.
- 8:47Adores.
- 8:48Yeah.
- 8:48And there was not a raccoon experience though.
- 8:51But it's tons of different like animals.
- 8:54Oh.
- 8:54So gonna be so fun.
- 8:56I know.
- 8:56And then I was like, well, should we wait till it gets a little cooler out so they're more active?
- 8:59I don't because it's so freaking hot right now.
- 9:01It is.
- 9:01It's disgusting.
- 9:02Today's not bad.
- 9:03Yeah.
- 9:04Compared to how it's been, but mm-hmm.
- 9:05Yeah, when we've been cutting grass, like we're all just soaked.
- 9:08It's crazy.
- 9:09It's gross.
- 9:09You're outside for like 10 seconds and you're crunched.
- 9:12Yeah.
- 9:12Um, I would do a little looky looky on your, search engines there to see like, are they more active or did they, did any of those animals hibernate?
- 9:21No, but not these.
- 9:22They're handled all day long.
- 9:24but like bears and zeuss still hibernate, don't they?
- 9:27I dunno.
- 9:27I don't know either.
- 9:28If you're a bear listening, let us, let us know if you hibernate.
- 9:33I mean, in Nashville we would go all year long'cause we had like season passes.
- 9:36Yeah.
- 9:37And the animals, you feel you were seen Yeah.
- 9:39Seeing all the things.
- 9:39Yeah.
- 9:41That was a good zoo.
- 9:42Nashville really the best play area for kids.
- 9:45Like we would go just to go to the play area.
- 9:47That's awesome though, for, I mean, it was like the, all these giant like, rope, um, oh yeah.
- 9:52Stuff.
- 9:53I mean like, everything was like, jungley.
- 9:55Yeah.
- 9:55But it was so cool.
- 9:56Have you been to the Martha Rivers and Guston?
- 9:59That park?
- 10:00That one was always fun too.
- 10:01I know it probably doesn't hold a candle to that, but I picture that times a hundred.
- 10:04Yeah, no, it was like huge, huge, huge, Oh, I know Dylan loved that.
- 10:08Oh my God, we had so much fun.
- 10:09Mm-hmm.
- 10:09But he was like two.
- 10:10He, he barely remembers it.
- 10:12I know.
- 10:12Isn't that the way, that's the way it always is.
- 10:15We did go there for spring break, when he was in fourth grade.
- 10:17Mm-hmm.
- 10:17We went back to, and my aunt and uncle still lived there, so, we went to go see them and we went back to the zoo.
- 10:22Aw.
- 10:23He's like, this is.
- 10:24Not what I ever, I would, I remember, I'm like, do you remember or are you just thinking of pictures because Yeah, you are too.
- 10:29I'll do that sometimes.
- 10:30Like I, I feel like I remember things, then I see a picture, I'm like, Nope.
- 10:34That's the perspective I remember.
- 10:35So, yeah.
- 10:36Well that will be a good time.
- 10:38Mm-hmm.
- 10:39I'm excited for you.
- 10:39Yeah.
- 10:40Don't mean to be Debbie Downer here.
- 10:42Mm-hmm.
- 10:42But after that heartwarming, fun situation you have planned, did you see Ozzy died?
- 10:47Yes.
- 10:48I thought he was way older than 76.
- 10:50So Fine.
- 10:51I feel like he was 76, so, okay.
- 10:53When I was in middle school.
- 10:54Mm-hmm.
- 10:55So we're talking like early nineties, 9 90, 89, whatever.
- 10:59Like all the devil worshipers.
- 11:01We were always like, they listened to Ozzy and I thought he was 76 then come to find out.
- 11:08Yeah, no, I, I thought he was older too.
- 11:10Did you used to watch when he was on MTV?
- 11:12Yes.
- 11:12The show?
- 11:13Yeah.
- 11:13Yes, absolutely.
- 11:14And it's not my genre Right.
- 11:16Of music.
- 11:17Right.
- 11:18But I just thought it was so fascinating, Oh yeah.
- 11:20That the, their family dynamics.
- 11:21Oh, a hundred percent.
- 11:22And I did not fact check this, so I don't know, but I'm hearing that he died in like Switzerland and he chose to die.
- 11:32Oh.
- 11:33So, I don't know.
- 11:34Do some.
- 11:36Peeps do some research on that one.
- 11:38'cause I don't know if that's true or not.
- 11:39Yeah.
- 11:40I mean, he was out there.
- 11:41Yeah.
- 11:42Yeah.
- 11:43He, he had a lot of drug damage.
- 11:46And also Theo Huxtable.

- 11:51Yeah.
- 11:52How are we supposed to live without, Theo was like the big brother to everybody, you know?
- 11:57Yeah.
- 11:58Kind of had a little crush on him too.
- 11:59Mm-hmm.
- 12:01He was good looking.
- 12:01Mm-hmm.
- 12:02Mm-hmm.
- 12:02So, sad, sad, sad.
- 12:04Yeah.
- 12:04Oh, Dylan, do we talk about this, the concert that he wanted to go to?
- 12:07No, I don't think so.
- 12:09So he's been sending me like, concerts, the last six months and I'm like, cool, let me know if you wanna go.
- 12:12Yeah, I'll get the tickets.
- 12:13Yeah.
- 12:13Let me know.
- 12:14Let me know.
- 12:14And like, every time it's he waits too long and then he's like, I'll just forget it.
- 12:17And every festival that he sent me, he really only wanted to see,, treaty, Oak Revival.
- 12:22Okay.
- 12:23It's like a country rockish kind of Okay.
- 12:25Band.
- 12:26that's one of his favorite bands, they were playing at a couple of festivals and it was like a Kentucky, or it was in Alabama or somewhere.
- 12:32Mm-hmm.
- 12:32So they were coming to South Carolina in September, so I got pit tickets.
- 12:37Nice.
- 12:37It's like, well, do you want to bring a friend?
- 12:39Right.
- 12:39And he's like, can it just be me and you?
- 12:42And I was like, are you serious?
- 12:44And he's like.
- 12:45Yeah, I would just like really like just me and you go.
- 12:48And I was like, yeah, I'm so excited for you for that.
- 12:53That sounds like an amazing, amazing time.
- 12:56I was like, he still likes to hang out with his mom, nursing guys.
- 12:59Nursing.
- 13:00So it's in a smaller venue.
- 13:01Yeah.
- 13:01all, there's no like assigned seating or anything, but there's like the pit area and then there's the general, is it relatively close to our area?
- 13:08An hour and a half away easily.
- 13:11East.
- 13:11East.
- 13:12I've heard of it, but I, but super excited.
- 13:15Yeah.
- 13:15Let's take it.

- 13:21Mm-hmm.
- 13:22I don't, I did not know any of the artists, but it's a Friday night in September.
- 13:26It's like Nashville comes to Clover or something.
- 13:28Really?
- 13:29And there's three artists that are coming and you have to buy tickets and they provide seats and I think they're having like Nashville style food trucks and stuff, so I'll have to check that out.
- 13:38Yeah, well, Jackson and I bonded a little bit with our, me and him time by watching the first episode, season three of the summer, I turned pretty Okay.
- 13:50Me and Dylan watched the new Dexter.
- 13:54I mean, that might be next.
- 13:56But I have been dying to watch this and he was out of town with his grandparents and he finally got back and we watched it and I was like, oh my God, this is just cringe worthy.
- 14:04It's really, it's not as great as the other seasons.
- 14:08Mm-hmm.
- 14:08But you know, I'm, I'm in this far, I gotta figure it out.
- 14:10Yeah.
- 14:10Mm-hmm.
- 14:11Um, but that was fun just sitting around watching TV at midnight with him is sometimes just, yeah.
- 14:17What do you need to do?
- 14:18Mm-hmm.
- 14:19You love when they wanna hang out with us?
- 14:20Yes.
- 14:21Makes me so happy.
- 14:23Um, I have to show you our text, message from this morning.
- 14:28So he gets up at about six 30 to go to football practice.
- 14:31Mm-hmm.
- 14:32And I just text him to wake him up and make sure he's up.
- 14:34So I am not a morning person at all.
- 14:39He is not a morning person at all.
- 14:41This is our text interaction.
- 14:43Okay.
- 14:43I'm gonna read mine in the blue.
- 14:45Mm-hmm.
- 14:45You read his in the gray.
- 14:47Okay.
- 14:47Okay.
- 14:48So 6:30 AM I say morning.
- 14:50Morning.
- 14:51Great day.
- 14:52You awake?
- 14:52Yes.
- 14:53Love, love.
- 14:54That was it.
- 14:56That was our whole interaction before 1130 this morning while he was getting ready for football.
- 15:02Like under 10.
- 15:04Under 10 words.
- 15:06Okay.
- 15:06It works.
- 15:07It does, it does.
- 15:08That just killed me.
- 15:09I sent it to my sister because she knows that I'm not a more person.
- 15:13She was like, oh my gosh.
- 15:13She's just like you.
- 15:15Well, Dylan got, the bags in his truck, so his truck now twerks, like it does, like the up and down.
- 15:24Okay.
- 15:24I just had a mental picture of, oh, do you think where, um, Uhhuh where it did?
- 15:33I wanna see it do it.
- 15:34Well, I got a video.
- 15:35Okay.
- 15:36Yeah.
- 15:36Oh my gosh.
- 15:38Does he like, like what, what does, is there a point of it?
- 15:42Well, you can have it squatted and if you get pulled over, you can put it back.

- 21:10So right before that though, there was some videos, like clips that went out mm-hmm.
- 21:16there's this one guy who says that I guess he has a friend that like a retired employee.
- 21:22Mm-hmm.
- 21:23And tells him all like the stuff you know, of what has, what goes mm-hmm.
- 21:28What goes on.

- 21:30And like, it's all legit.
- 21:31I've already said this.
- 21:32I believe in all of it, I think.
- 21:33Right.
- 21:33I believe in all of it.
- 21:34Right.
- 21:35So he said that the dude told him that they are keeping mermaids there and experimenting on them.
- 21:44And this like, I guess just kind of leaked out.
- 21:47Okay.
- 21:47right before 4th of July and then there with all these fires.
- 21:52Mm.
- 21:53And they're saying that it was like a lightning strike that started it.
- 21:57Mm-hmm.
- 21:58But is it like trying to get rid of all the things?
- 22:02Mm-hmm.

- 22:17Tell me all about it.
- 22:18My face.
- 22:19Right.
- 22:19I'm in Tell before.
- 22:21So the comment section'cause now they're saying space is actually in the ocean, because of the center of the earth, whatever.
- 22:29There, actually have been released documents saying that there's aliens of ocean.
- 22:34I mean, I kind of believe that was some of the stuff that washes up, but NASA used to study the ocean and they like dipped out and now study the space like what was down there.
- 22:43Oh, lots of stuff, right?
- 22:44Like fish with the one light over it, dude finding emo, right?
- 22:51Yeah.
- 22:52There's crazy stuff down there.
- 22:53Yeah.
- 22:53So, as I'm continuing mm-hmm.
- 22:55On this awful rabbit hole of oh my god.
- 22:58Yeah.
- 22:58What?
- 22:59We don't know anything.
- 23:00No.
- 23:00We have been lying to our whole lives.
- 23:02Mm-hmm.
- 23:03Yeah.
- 23:03Like, do I go on the ocean?
- 23:05Right.
- 23:06I know.
- 23:06That's why literally ETS gonna come out.
- 23:08Like I don't, so there was a, YouTube video that was linked and I'm like, okay, I'm in.
- 23:16Right.
- 23:16Show me all the things.
- 23:17Right.
- 23:17And it was on the History channel on YouTube.
- 23:20Okay.
- 23:21And it was a clip from UFO Hunters, called Underwater Area 51.
- 23:26And there's actually a website for, and like the acronym is A-U-T-E-C.
- 23:29And I did not write down what it was for.
- 23:31Okay.
- 23:31But this is where the Bermuda Triangle is the underground, area 51.
- 23:38Okay.
- 23:38And that's the aliens and all the testing that they do.
- 23:41Mm-hmm.
- 23:42And that's why all these planes disappear, disappear and all these electro whatever.
- 23:48Mm-hmm.
- 23:49So they were interviewing people and the people that used to work around there, and they said that.
- 23:55This is like so bananas, but I totally like, believe in all uhhuh stuff.
- 23:58Uhhuh, like, it just messes with my head.
- 23:59Yeah.
- 24:00And I'm also very gullible, so if it's not real, I still bought into it.
- 24:04But they said that like these random land masses would pop out of the ocean.
- 24:08They would be in their, their big boats or uhhuh over like their ships and like as big as Manhattan.
- 24:14Mm-hmm.
- 24:15I've heard that before.
- 24:16Mm-hmm.
- 24:16Just randomly pop out the water and then disappear and it's Oh, I didn't know they disappeared.
- 24:21Yeah.
- 24:23What the heck?
- 24:24I dunno.
- 24:26But the things in the ocean are creepier than things on land.
- 24:29And then when there are these tsunamis and all these new species Yeah.
- 24:32End up on land.
- 24:33Mm-hmm.
- 24:34Uh, mm-hmm.
- 24:35Mm-hmm.
- 24:36I know you've seen, I wanna say it was in Japan, the, um, mermaids that washed up.
- 24:42Yeah.
- 24:44They're not, it's not aerial, no.
- 24:46Mm-hmm.
- 24:46They're sirens.
- 24:48Mm-hmm.
- 24:48Crazy looking.
- 24:49It's crazy.
- 24:49Mm-hmm.
- 24:50It's crazy.
- 24:50Mm-hmm.
- 24:52Damn.
- 24:53I wanna know all the things, but then I'm afraid to know all the things.
- 24:55Right.
- 24:55I was just thinking, okay, so Jackson just went on a cruise.
- 24:58Mm-hmm.
- 24:59That's scary.
- 25:00I mean, all it would take, like, don't know, they could just suck the ship under.
- 25:04Mm-hmm.
- 25:05Mm-hmm.
- 25:06Yeah.
- 25:06I'm with you.
- 25:07I wanna know the things, but I'm terrified to do the things.
- 25:09Yeah.
- 25:10Speaking of Ocean, did you know that sometimes this is funny.
- 25:14Dolphins will antagonize puffer fish.
- 25:17Yes.
- 25:18So it release the venom and they get high.
- 25:20Yes.
- 25:21Listen, dolphins know their stuff and then they'll play with them.
- 25:26They'll just like balance them around.
- 25:30I love that story.
- 25:31I've been meaning to say something about that for the longest time.
- 25:33Well, you know, it's illegal now to talk to dolphins the government has made it illegal that you're not allowed to talk to dolphins.
- 25:39Woo.
- 25:39I'm glad there's,'cause they, uh, there has been research by whatever government agency Oh my gosh.
- 25:46That they can supposedly telepathically talk to humans.
- 25:51I mean, flipper could, um, especially pregnant women.
- 25:54Oh.
- 25:55And I'm like, there is nothing that would never make me want to carry mm-hmm.
- 26:00At this age ever.
- 26:01But that could almost, that would be the one thing, it could almost entice me.
- 26:07Have you seen a dolphin be born?
- 26:09Yes.
- 26:09Thank you.
- 26:10I did.
- 26:10Thank you.
- 26:11Because don't listen, Siri.
- 26:14No.
- 26:14We're not talking about birds ever again.
- 26:18I wouldn't mind communicating with a dolphin either.
- 26:21Maybe I depends on what it wants to tell me.
- 26:24I'd either get one that's really stupid or mean and be like, dopey.
- 26:30I want one that's gonna give me all the dolphin tea.
- 26:33That's what I want.
- 26:36Fill me in on everything going on down there.
- 26:37Um, well down there, as in Fort Worth, Texas.
- 26:41Mm-hmm.
- 26:42I was scrolling and saw that this dude walks into a furniture store in Fort Worth, Texas mm-hmm.
- 26:48And approaches the salesperson saying he needed triple bunk beds, that they all had full-size mattresses.
- 26:55He said he needed at least three kids to be able to fit on each mattress and needed.
- 27:01Four of these, so essentially 36 children.
- 27:04Mm-hmm.
- 27:05So all the people were getting freaked out.
- 27:07Like, what the heck?
- 27:08This is not normal.
- 27:09Mm-hmm.
- 27:09Mm-hmm.
- 27:09This is weird.
- 27:10It was like an older dude just mm-hmm.
- 27:12Vibes were off.
- 27:13Yeah.
- 27:14So they take down his information.
- 27:15His name was Emory Garner.
- 27:17Okay.
- 27:18get his phone number address and they're like, Hey, let me look into this and let me see what I can do and send him away.
- 27:23So then they get on, do a background check or search him or whatever, and he's on the registry, the SA registry.
- 27:30Mm.
- 27:31So our handy dandy furniture man was like, let me just drive by this dude's house and mm-hmm.
- 27:38See what's up.
- 27:39Mm-hmm.
- 27:39Drives there.
- 27:40And he takes, this is all on video, he takes a video and there's metal bars surrounding the whole house, like on the house, on the windows and stuff.
- 27:48Everywhere.
- 27:49Everything.
- 27:50Oh my gosh.
- 27:51Front and back.
- 27:53There are.
- 27:54Metal bars.
- 27:55Okay.
- 27:56Around the entire house.
- 27:58That's a fire hazard one.
- 27:59Mm-hmm.
- 27:59Like, there's no way that that asked any kind of inspections.
- 28:03No.
- 28:03Right.
- 28:04And so he ends up talking to a neighbor.
- 28:07The neighbor's like, yeah.
- 28:07It's like super sketch, like mm-hmm.
- 28:09Whatever.
- 28:09And, did say, I think one of the videos said that they did maybe see children or something with, you know, they weren't sure.
- 28:17Mm-hmm.
- 28:18Well, a second person lives in this house as well.
- 28:20Who has another sa offender?
- 28:22Oh my gosh.
- 28:23From the registry.
- 28:24A dude old man, like old, like old.
- 28:27And I don't know if they're like father son or if it's like any connection there, whatever.
- 28:30Yeah.
- 28:31one guy is rich.
- 28:32He has a trust fund.
- 28:34Guy that went into the, to the store, so furniture store calls police, and was like, yo, like this is like super sketch.
- 28:40He's owned the registry, he's asking for beds for children.
- 28:43Like he's right, whatever.
- 28:44So they go and they end up arresting the guy.
- 28:47Don't know what they found in the house, Uhhuh, whatever.
- 28:49Right.
- 28:49But the one girl that initially reported on this, she just kinda shared the other guy's videos.
- 28:56She's gonna get threats from people and they're like, you need to take this down.
- 29:01You're ruining somebody's life.
- 29:03And if he got arrested again, there had to have been something in that meeting.
- 29:06It was something, it was something they didn't just take him in for questioning.
- 29:10They arrested.
- 29:10Yeah.
- 29:11Yeah.
- 29:12So that is creepy.
- 29:14So thank God.
- 29:14Like this furniture store.
- 29:15Yeah.
- 29:16Trusted their instinct.
- 29:17Yeah.

- 31:36I can't, I mean, in the middle of like, public, public had to know that, that that was not.
- 31:42Solid.
- 31:44I mean, if you're a bank manager, you are reasonably intelligent.
- 31:48You would think, you would think, and you know, you, you've probably looked at that room before for whatever reason and been like, Hey, you know what?
- 31:55I can see that lamp there.
- 31:57I, I would assume.
- 31:58She got caught and it is, the video went viral.
- 32:02The person that was in July took the video and it's like, so the original video, I think that got taken out, but it was stitched so many times.
- 32:10Uhhuh, it's all over.
- 32:11Like they're taking that down.
- 32:13Oh my gosh.
- 32:13Yeah.
- 32:14I'm sure I'll run into that, but I, yeah, the other one, did you see his statement?
- 32:19Like, what a jerk, it was like, sorry, not sorry, right?
- 32:22Yeah.
- 32:22That what was, should have been a private moment.
- 32:24No, you were out in public and you were Right.
- 32:27Being a well, and the thing about it too is if they would not have reacted the way that they did, it would've moved on.
- 32:34So, ha ha.
- 32:37I'm glad you got busted.
- 32:38They're either really private or they're having an affair.
- 32:40I died when I heard, oh my gosh.
- 32:42Mm-hmm.
- 32:42And they called them out.
- 32:43Mm-hmm.
- 32:44It was awesome.
- 32:44And they stayed on them super long.
- 32:46Mm-hmm.
- 32:46I was like, and it looked like she was laughing.
- 32:49She was laughing until she saw that she was on the, the, the Bigo truck, whatever.
- 32:54Because I mean, you can see her like in the pers the, the woman.
- 32:57Then she covered her face.
- 32:58She's like, oh no.
- 33:00Yeah.
- 33:00And then not only the jokes about them and the memes and stuff, but then I didn't realize there were that many people at a Coldplay concert.
- 33:06Have you seen those jokes too?
- 33:08That's great.
- 33:09So Little John, you know, from our Yeah.
- 33:12Clubbing days.
- 33:13Yeah.
- 33:14Is all over the place right now touring, and I'm like dying because there was a, country rock festival.
- 33:21Okay.
- 33:21And I was looking at the lineup because Dylan had sent me,'cause a different person he wanted to see was on it.
- 33:27And I was like, Dylan, did you look at the lineup?
- 33:30And he is like, no.
- 33:31Why?
- 33:31I'm like, little John the yin yang twins is on there.
- 33:35And, Afro man shut talk.
- 33:39Like it's such a weird lineup.
- 33:41It's like my playlist.
- 33:43Right, right.
- 33:44But it's such a weird, our bipolar playlist.
- 33:46Yeah.
- 33:46With everything from the yin yang twins to Yeah.
- 33:49Um, Hank Williams or whoever.
- 33:51Yeah.
- 33:51The country or something like that, it's called.
- 33:53That sounds great.
- 33:54I was like, this is bananas.
- 33:56That sounds like a lot of fun.
- 33:58Saw a clip of them performing.
- 33:59I'm like, oh my God, they're so old.
- 34:01Oh, are yeah, that's true.
- 34:02I cannot believe how old they are.
- 34:04I know.
- 34:05And then they performed at SeaWorld.
- 34:07There were people in the car.
- 34:08Like I thought we, we, we canceled SeaWorld because liked animals.
- 34:13You know what's popped in my feet a lot lately though, is the mime at SeaWorld.
- 34:17You seen him?
- 34:18Yeah.
- 34:19He's funny.
- 34:20He's a funny guy.
- 34:21You know what made me feel, there's been a couple things made me fall this week, but the main one was when our, something was announced that Frozen was from 2 20 13.
- 34:31Oh.
- 34:32Mm-hmm.
- 34:33That was 12 years ago.
- 34:35Mm-hmm.
- 34:36Holy crap.
- 34:37Yeah.
- 34:39Moving on.
- 34:41I did see another clip.
- 34:42I think it was genuine at, like whatever tour.
- 34:46Mm-hmm.
- 34:47And he tried to jump down one stage to the next and he.
- 34:51Didn't, his knees were not cooperating and he tried to grab onto the sign interpreter.
- 34:58The sign interpreter is like, like still signing, trying to looked down like, oh shit.
- 35:04Oh my gosh.
- 35:05His knees weren't in, his knees weren't in.
- 35:09I saw something I can't remember the exact details, but there was a sign language interpreter that wasn't really signing anything.
- 35:18I see that.
- 35:19I follow a girl that teaches all the curse words in sign language.
- 35:22Have you learned any?
- 35:23Yeah.
- 35:24Do you wanna share one with the class?
- 35:26No.
- 35:26Okay.
- 35:27I was like, Dylan, look what I learned how to find.
- 35:29And he's like, you just told me to fuck you.
- 35:32I like, how do you know that?
- 35:34Right?
- 35:35Well, you're officially bilingual now, so you can Well, I can say a lot of curse words in Spanish.
- 35:40Well, trilingual.
- 35:42Look at you.
- 35:44I only know the swear and I know beer.
- 35:46See Cvaa.
- 35:47There you go.
- 35:49I'll buy you a bathroom.
- 35:50That's what I needed to know when I went to Mexico in college.
- 35:53Beer and bathroom, I mean, and tequila.
- 35:58Well, I'm, I've never been prouder.
- 36:02Yeah.
- 36:03Tequila is one of those.
- 36:03I'm like, um, smell like bad decisions.
- 36:06Bad decisions.
- 36:07I saw a video that if you pour the alcohol through a Brita, it takes away the alcohol taste.
- 36:11Like, it's like, no, like we're allowed to try that one.
- 36:14And I'm like, why didn't I know that you know this?
- 36:16Right.
- 36:17But like, where was this that's worth buying a Brita for?
- 36:21And who decided to try this?
- 36:23A genius.
- 36:24A scientist.
- 36:24A scientist major.
- 36:26Yeah.
- 36:26Obviously not us.
- 36:27Sarah, you were having a scientist house party.
- 36:30That's funny.
- 36:31That's funny.
- 36:32Really?
- 36:32A party I would not have been at, but no, but no, when that info got leaked to like, we'd be there.
- 36:38Yeah.
- 36:38Thanks dude.
- 36:39Cheap tequila was one of the worst decisions.
- 36:41Oh yes.
- 36:42Yeah.
- 36:44Alright.
- 36:45Do you want to do, am I the A-hole?
- 36:47Absolutely.
- 36:47Okay.
- 36:47It's another wedding one?
- 36:48Mm-hmm.
- 36:49Okay.
- 36:49Am I the a-hole for suing my friends after singing and playing for their entire wedding and not getting paid?
- 36:56I.
- 36:5830-year-old male am a lawyer, but I'm also very active in music.
- 37:02I sing, I play piano, organ, and guitar.
- 37:05Pretty much any instrument I can get my hands on.
- 37:08I've performed at several weddings often as personal favor for close friends.
- 37:12A while back, my friends Jimmy and Belle asked me if I could handle the entire music for their Catholic wedding mass.
- 37:17And you know, those things are freaking, yeah.
- 37:19Oh my God.
- 37:20That meant singing and playing organ through the whole whatever that word is.
- 37:25Lit, lit, liturgy, lit, liturgy, liturgy, processional, offertory, communion, recessional, et cetera.
- 37:32I agreed, assuming I was being invited as a guest and doing this out of friendship, but as the wedding approached, I noticed I hadn't received any kind of invitation, not even to the mass.
- 37:42So I asked Bell and she replied, oh, we had to trim the guest list, but you can still come early to rehearse and do the music translation.
- 37:50I wasn't invited.
- 37:52I wasn't even treated like a guest, just free labor.
- 37:55Still, I honored the commitment.
- 37:57I arrived early, rehearsed, sang and played for the entire mass alone, packed up and left.
- 38:02No acknowledgement, no token, no food, no seat, no thank you.
- 38:06So I sent them a professional invoice, a reasonable rate for performing solo at a full wedding mass.
- 38:12Nothing excessive, just what it was worth.
- 38:14They didn't pay it be ghosted me, Jimmy said he'd talked to her, but nothing happened.
- 38:19They ignored follow-ups after 30 days.
- 38:21I sent a demand letter, no response.
- 38:23So I sued them for breach of oral contract and unjust enrichment.
- 38:28We have written messages confirming the arrangement, screenshots of Bell, asking me to perform.
- 38:36Uh, we had timing, songs and expectations.
- 38:39I represented myself.
- 38:40They showed up.
- 38:41Shocked that I followed through.
- 38:43Guess what?
- 38:44I won.
- 38:46The judge ruled in my favor and ordered them to pay the full amount plus court costs.
- 38:50Now our friend group is on fire.
- 38:52Mm-hmm.
- 38:53Some say I went too far.
- 38:54Others quietly say, good for you.
- 38:56Bail's been posting cryptic quotes about betrayal and money over friendship.
- 39:01So now I'm wondering, am I the a-hole for suing people?
- 39:04I once considered friends after they use me for free live music interviews to pay.
- 39:09Alright.
- 39:10Miss Wedding Guru, um, your take.
- 39:15Okay.
- 39:16So lots of questions.
- 39:18Mm-hmm.
- 39:19Who was he friends with?
- 39:20Was he friends with both?
- 39:21Like I, I mean, I don't think we really got that context.
- 39:24How close were they?
- 39:26You know, personal favor to close friends.
- 39:27Okay.
- 39:28So no, he's performed at, oh yeah.
- 39:31So his friends Jimmy and Bell, so I guess he's friends with both of them.
- 39:33Mm-hmm.
- 39:34I think he's the A-hole.
- 39:35You think so?
- 39:36I do.
- 39:38I do because.
- 39:41He's already said he's done it before.
- 39:43Yeah.
- 39:44As, but he is also invited as a guest to those weddings.
- 39:47No, I think they were in turn also AOLs for not at least feeding him.
- 39:54I think I wouldn't, okay.
- 39:55Okay.
- 39:56Let me start here.
- 39:57Yeah.
- 39:57Is, I don't think it's fair to ask your friends to work at your wedding.
- 40:03Right?
- 40:04Agreed.
- 40:04Um, they should be guessed they should enjoy the wedding, um, to celebrate you.
- 40:09Well, yeah.
- 40:09A yes and no unless, like they, you might want your friends to be like, you know, they sang at my wedding, or they did this at my wedding.
- 40:16Yes.
- 40:17But I think that puts a lot of, mm-hmm.
- 40:19Like weird, like expectations on a friendship.
- 40:22Mm-hmm.
- 40:23If you're my close friends, like I don't want you working at my wedding.
- 40:25Right.
- 40:25I want you to enjoy it and chill.
- 40:27Yeah.
- 40:27Like, I don't want you to be in the DJ booth or whatever.
- 40:29I mean, if they wanted to sing a song mm-hmm.
- 40:31Or wanted to like, you know, like a small part to be part of the wedding.
- 40:35Cool.
- 40:35Mm-hmm.
- 40:35Then it's like a hard to, how do you say no to that too, right?
- 40:38Yeah.
- 40:38We want you to be part of our special day.
- 40:40Can you DJ for free?
- 40:41Yeah.
- 40:42Well, and it would be different if he said, you know, as my gift to you, yeah.
- 40:46I want to do this.
- 40:47And can I stay for the pasta?
- 40:50But I think it's all in the conversation.
- 40:54Right.
- 40:55Around it.
- 40:56Yeah.
- 40:56But she, I think, knew going in, she wasn't inviting him and she just knew he did this for a living and was like, well, I'm just right.
- 41:02He's an attorney.
- 41:03He doesn't need my money.
- 41:04Mm-hmm.
- 41:05I'm very curious on how much it was, how much he sued for.
- 41:09Yeah.
- 41:09the Catholic weddings are like an hour and a half long.
- 41:12Yeah.
- 41:12They're long, they take forever and there is so much up and down and, and pomp and circumstance and all the things and know like the, the, the Organy music.
- 41:23Yeah.
- 41:24It's not a fun time.
- 41:25No.
- 41:25Not really a party there.
- 41:26No.
- 41:27Um, we got married in our, our reverend that married us was like, okay, well, you know, like what kind?
- 41:31I'm like quick.
- 41:32Yeah, sure.
- 41:33To the point.
- 41:33Most are, these days most are really quick.
- 41:35People are usually like, that's it.
- 41:36Like that's it.
- 41:37I was like, keep it as short as you can possibly keep it.
- 41:40I mean, I.
- 41:44I think that the fact that they didn't even tell him he wasn't invited when when they asked him.
- 41:49Right.
- 41:50Because they knew that he was assuming he was invited to the wedding.
- 41:53Yeah.
- 41:54He assumed that was gonna be his gift to them.
- 41:55Mm-hmm.
- 41:57Going to the wedding.
- 41:59Yeah.
- 41:59So I think that they almost tricked him or they knew what they were doing.
- 42:03Yeah.
- 42:05I really do feel like though there's some kind of, we're missing some pieces.
- 42:09Um, probably pro, yeah.
- 42:10They still had him go to the wedding, so it wasn't like there was like a big rift.
- 42:13Right.
- 42:14If they still expected him to come and perform.
- 42:17Right.
- 42:17He addressed it before, like, Hey, I didn't get an invitation.
- 42:20I'm really curious on why Jimmy said he talked to her.
- 42:24Why couldn't Jimmy handle it?
- 42:25Well, because he's a man.
- 42:30I mean, I think taking it to court is a little extreme.
- 42:32I'm not gonna lie.
- 42:33That's my opinion.
- 42:34If, and again, it depends on, to me how much it is.
- 42:37Like what's this friendship worth to you, you know?
- 42:39Well, I obviously not much if he, they didn't invite him after he performed.
- 42:44Yeah.
- 42:45So, I mean, I think, I don't know.
- 42:48I don't know what I would do.
- 42:50'cause I could, I know I would be like, yeah, I'm gonna say thank you though, according to him.
- 42:53Right.
- 42:53I'm like, that's like, you know what, like if, if I went there and spent an hour and a half or whatever it was, right.
- 42:58Doing all this awful music and, well, I shouldn't say awful, not fun music.
- 43:03Right.
- 43:04And I didn't even get a Thank you.
- 43:05There's some acknowledgement.
- 43:06Yeah.
- 43:07That's why I'm saying they're a-holes too.
- 43:08They are, I feel like this, this whole thing was just handled poorly.
- 43:12He should have been allowed to stay and eat if nothing else.
- 43:14They do not have a day of coordinator.
- 43:15They do not have a day of coordinator.
- 43:17I would've handled that.
- 43:18They should have said thank you.
- 43:19They should have given him a token of appreciation if not paying him.
- 43:23Yeah.
- 43:24You know, you usually get your bridesmaids and everything, a gift.
- 43:26Get him something, even something small, just as a thank you.
- 43:30But I, I'm just shocked that he was cut from the guest list.
- 43:33Yeah.
- 43:33still inviting him or, but I would not have expected, okay, I'm performing in the wedding.
- 43:39I wouldn't expect to get an invitation.
- 43:41They know I'm gonna be there, so I'm gonna go to the reception too.
- 43:45But thank God he asked.
- 43:46Yeah.
- 43:47He didn't just show up and there was no spot for him.
- 43:49Yeah, that's true.
- 43:50That's true.
- 43:51Not even in like the worker area.
- 43:52Yeah.
- 43:53Yeah.
- 43:54Not even sitting at the back table with the, the tj.
- 43:58Yeah.
- 43:59Yeah.
- 43:59I I think they're both a, they're everybody in the situations a-holes.
- 44:03Okay.
- 44:03I What do you think?
- 44:05I think that he was like, I'm done with this friendship.
- 44:07Yeah.
- 44:08And I'm cool with like, losing it i'd be really curious how much it was.
- 44:12Yeah.
- 44:13So I mean, outside of the court costs, like what was the invoice for 200 bucks?
- 44:17Yeah.
- 44:18You know, I mean, that seems awfully, awfully just childish to sue over that.
- 44:24But I mean, depending on my mood, I might do it.
- 44:26I don't know.
- 44:27I'm petty and I, I was like, you go, it's the last time that they're going to.
- 44:34Yeah.
- 44:35Yeah.
- 44:35I don't know.
- 44:36I, I, yeah, I can, I can see it go both ways.
- 44:39Yeah.
- 44:40Um, yeah.
- 44:41I feel like if she had addressed it right or even been like, yo, like, what's up with this?
- 44:45I thought it was just a gift, you know?
- 44:47But she, I think she knew she, she was in the wrong Right.
- 44:49And so she was like, I'm not even gonna go there.
- 44:52It'll blow over.
- 44:52Right.
- 44:53It's how I feel like she took it, I think took it, I think he was expecting ever some kind of response mm-hmm.
- 44:58Or acknowledgement.
- 44:59And he's not wrong for that.
- 45:00No.
- 45:01So the fact that she then ignored everything Right, right after the fact, even after he sent the invoice.
- 45:08Yeah.
- 45:08Not even like, was this a joke?
- 45:09Or like, Hey, I thought this was a gift, you know?
- 45:11Or like, I'm totally sorry.
- 45:13Yeah.
- 45:13My apologies here, I'm gonna pay you.
- 45:15Yeah.
- 45:15I, I, yeah.
- 45:17That's why I think she's an a-hole too, Everybody in this situation.
- 45:20I don't like you.
- 45:21Mm-hmm.
- 45:23All right.
- 45:23Well, if you're not our bookies, we will see you later.
- 45:25eventually, maybe one day.
- 45:26Maybe.
- 45:27But we love you.
- 45:28We love you.
- 45:28Bye.
- 45:29And bookies, learn read.
- 45:30Thank you for coming every week.
- 45:32We appreciate you.
- 45:35Okay.
- 45:35Book this week.
- 45:36Yes.
- 45:36Zodiac Academy by Caroline Peckham.
- 45:39Mm-hmm.
- 45:41Twins secretly born with all four elemental powers are thrown into the ruthless world of the Zodiac Academy, where they must fight to survive.
- 45:49Vengeful Faye, elites, deadly creatures and their own destiny to claim the throne that was meant for them.
- 45:56This book.
- 45:58So we need to make sure, and not triggers, but just warnings.
- 46:02Oh, it was like a bully.
- 46:03Uhhuh, enemies to lovers.
- 46:07Mm-hmm.
- 46:07Kind of trope.
- 46:08Mm-hmm.
- 46:09there was a lot of bullying.
- 46:10Mm-hmm.
- 46:11Okay, so.
- 46:12Audio book.
- 46:13Yeah.
- 46:13Very distracted by the format?
- 46:14Like a dramatic production or something?
- 46:16It was not.
- 46:17So it was not just your readers and it wasn't even just like multiple actors being different characters.
- 46:24There was like music, music and doors playing sound effects.
- 46:29Oh my gosh.
- 46:30Moaning.
- 46:32And it was very distracting.
- 46:36I didn't enjoy it.
- 46:37No, enjoy this format.
- 46:39It took me so long to get past it.
- 46:42Mm-hmm.
- 46:42I, it was distracting to me.
- 46:44I never wanna read another book like this again.
- 46:46Mm-hmm.
- 46:47Give me just a book.
- 46:48Yeah.
- 46:48Yeah.
- 46:48Just the actress.
- 46:49I can do all that in my mind if I want to.
- 46:51Yeah.
- 46:51the same actress played.
- 46:53Tory and Darcy.
- 46:54And so that was hard for me, very hard to distinguish between the two, parts of the book because it was a dual, point of views view.
- 47:01Yeah.
- 47:02So they did like a little like do, do.
- 47:03Yeah.
- 47:04They switched.
- 47:05And the other thing too is their personalities are so similar.
- 47:08It's hard to know which one.
- 47:10You sound the same.
- 47:12They look the same.
- 47:13They're identical twins and then they come across the same.
- 47:16It's not like one is really feisty and one is like really mild or brainy or any, they're very confusing.
- 47:22Mm-hmm.
- 47:23I hope in reading it, it translates better.
- 47:25Mm-hmm.
- 47:26But I still don't know which one was air and which one was whatever.
- 47:29Well, they both had all four, right, but the houses.
- 47:32Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 47:33Very confusing.
- 47:34Yes, very confusing.
- 47:36Having, so I didn't like the, the, the format.
- 47:38That was a little bit confusing.
- 47:39Yes.
- 47:40It took me a little while to realize that that little was like changing point of view.
- 47:43Mm-hmm.
- 47:46I meant to go back and listen to the beginning.
- 47:48How old were they?
- 47:50I think 18.
- 47:51Very weird for me.
- 47:5219, 18 90.
- 47:54Very weird.
- 47:54Why spicy?
- 47:56And I felt like they were in high school.
- 47:59Mm.
- 47:59Well, it was supposed to be college.
- 48:00It was supposed to be college, but mm-hmm.
- 48:02I just felt like they were young.
- 48:03Really?
- 48:03I mean, and they are, yeah.
- 48:05Really Stevie.
- 48:06Mm-hmm.
- 48:06Kind of.
- 48:08I knew that they were college, I think they were.
- 48:12So it didn't like break me out, but it still felt really weird.
- 48:16Mm-hmm.
- 48:17'Cause I'm like, okay, I'm going to class.
- 48:18And then it's like, oh, whatever the sound effects were like they're going.
- 48:23And the teacher, yes.
- 48:27But how old was a teacher?
- 48:27Like, we could be like a, a 20, he 2-year-old, young, whatever, like book called Spoiler.
- 48:32I did read another one.
- 48:33Okay.
- 48:34Or two.
- 48:35But, but he is very, very young.
- 48:39He's a young teacher, but it's still ick.
- 48:42Yeah.
- 48:43For me.
- 48:43Okay.
- 48:44I, I can see that.
- 48:45Yeah.
- 48:45Yeah, yeah.
- 48:46Yeah.
- 48:47I wasn't like bothered by it, but, you had it clearly in your mind.
- 48:50I think the ages.
- 48:51Mm-hmm.
- 48:52And I just kept getting lost with the I'm going to class or freshman.
- 48:55Yeah.
- 48:56I kept freshman.
- 48:56Yeah.
- 48:57Yeah.
- 48:57It just felt really weird.
- 48:58it there was some spice.
- 48:59Mm-hmm.
- 49:00the first book, I, I probably get steamier in the later book.
- 49:04Oh yeah.
- 49:04I would say the first book, maybe two chili peppers.
- 49:06Yeah.
- 49:07There was like a couple of scenes, but it wasn't overly in your face.
- 49:11Yeah.
- 49:11Not bad.
- 49:12The chili peppers definitely.
- 49:14Multiply as you go.
- 49:15I've read two additional books.
- 49:17I'm fascinated with this kind of a story.
- 49:19Mm-hmm.
- 49:19Like it's the, they're at the school with the different house.
- 49:22It's a Harry Potter dont list.
- 49:24Did you read Dont List.
- 49:25No, but I said it was Harry Potter Cross with Vampire Diary.
- 49:29Yeah.
- 49:29And a Splash of Gossip Girl.
- 49:30Yeah.
- 49:31Is how I described it.
- 49:32Very much so.
- 49:34Very much so.
- 49:34But the young adult stuff.
- 49:36Mm-hmm.
- 49:37I'm all about that.
- 49:38And the school stuff, like I was really, I'm really fascinated with it.
- 49:41So I was really interested in the story itself and mm-hmm figuring out where they were gonna be in which house and what's gonna happen with the whole kingdom, you know, all those things.
- 49:51Yeah.
- 49:52Well, apparently there is another book mm-hmm.
- 49:55In this series called The Awakening as Told by the Boys.
- 49:58So it's from the Boys' perspective.
- 49:59I've seen that.
- 50:00I'm out of borrows this month.
- 50:02Yeah.
- 50:03So that's book 11 in the series, but I think I would wanna read it now so everything's kind of fresh in my head and see how different perspectives were.
- 50:10Yeah.
- 50:11Well how did you feel about, I, I felt like every time I felt like there was somebody that these girls could trust the rug got pulled out from underneath them, and I know that's what they want you, the, that the author wanted you to take away, but I got tired of feeling that way.
- 50:25Yeah.
- 50:26I got tired of feeling like, and that continues mm-hmm.
- 50:29Boiler, sorry.
- 50:30Yeah.
- 50:31But I mean, I just felt like every time, uh, you know, they, the bullying where they saddle up to'em and say, you know, we're friends or whatever.
- 50:39Mm-hmm.
- 50:39And then just rip that all away.
- 50:42was devastating.
- 50:43Mm-hmm.
- 50:45You gotta have somebody Yeah.
- 50:47And have each other.
- 50:48I didn't like that.
- 50:49Right.
- 50:49I did not like that.
- 50:50Yeah.
- 50:51No.
- 50:51And, I think it's the, us against the world type of vibe Yeah.
- 50:54Is what, what it needs to be.
- 50:57Yeah.
- 50:57I swear to God, like I've read these books before mm-hmm.
- 51:00But I can't remember when I would have.
- 51:02Mm-hmm.
- 51:03It's really weird.
- 51:03I know this is gonna happen, but I don't remember reading these books.
- 51:06It's the freaking weirdest things.
- 51:09I have predictions, on how some of these relationships are gonna move forward.
- 51:15Mm-hmm.
- 51:17This if we record again and talk about it.
- 51:19Definitely gonna be an after dark Yeah.
- 51:21Episode because, did you get the feeling that everybody at this school was like, just insanely attractive?
- 51:27Yes.
- 51:28Like, it's just beautiful people.
- 51:29Yes.
- 51:29Everywhere.
- 51:30Everywhere.
- 51:31Everywhere you look.
- 51:32Yeah.
- 51:32Even like the nerdy kids are like, right.
- 51:33Still like hot, nerdy.
- 51:35The only one that I was like, okay, she's got to be like, yes, with that name.
- 51:40I was like, she's got to be chunky and frumpy.
- 51:43But no, she talked, they talked later about how pretty she is.
- 51:45Yeah.
- 51:45I'm like, yeah.
- 51:46I mean everybody at this school is just you and I would fit in just fine.
- 51:50Totally.
- 51:51But yes, just so attractive.
- 51:54All of the dudes are like chiseled and all of the girls have the curves.
- 51:59Okay.
- 51:59So which bad guy would you go for?
- 52:01I don't know.
- 52:02They're all kind of mixed up in my head.
- 52:03I think Damien Me too.
- 52:05Yeah, the dragon.
- 52:06The dragon king.
- 52:07Yeah.
- 52:08Motorcycle riding.
- 52:09Uhhuh bad guy.
- 52:11Yeah.
- 52:11Ugh.
- 52:12Caleb's voice.
- 52:13He was the vampire, right?
- 52:14Mm-hmm.
- 52:15Like his, Hey sweetheart.
- 52:16He pissed me off.
- 52:17Like, yeah.
- 52:17And his voice was just, Ugh.
- 52:19At least demon.
- 52:20Like lets you know he's a jerk.
- 52:22Like 100%, right?
- 52:23He's a jerk.
- 52:24And then Caleb like the same thing with playing eth.
- 52:28Yeah.
- 52:28Seth was like the wolfie guy.
- 52:30Mm-hmm.
- 52:31And he would just come up and nuzzle everybody, which was weird.
- 52:35And then the whole vibe when he needed to re-energize and he would nuzzle up to the dudes, what is going on there?
- 52:41Well, and that continues okay with, especially with the Wolf Pack.
- 52:47Like, if you're interested in this, keep reading it because it's.
- 52:52Oh yeah.
- 52:53Okay.
- 52:54I hadn't gotten any to any specifics about any of that.
- 52:58Mm-hmm.
- 52:59But it's laying there.
- 53:00Everything's very open with whatever.
- 53:02Yeah.
- 53:02Well and that's, I mean, everybody just strips down naked.
- 53:05Yes.
- 53:06All book the whole and, and that continues to like all the time.
- 53:10And they all have nice underwear and that cur, but you know what I do?
- 53:13I do picture the creepy mermaid man guy.
- 53:16The siren?
- 53:16Yeah.
- 53:17The teacher Max?
- 53:18No, the teacher.
- 53:20O'Neil Orion.
- 53:22That guy.
- 53:23No, he's not a mermaid though.
- 53:24He is?
- 53:24Oh.
- 53:24Like when they go into like the little, oh, I picture him old.
- 53:27I do too.
- 53:28Like, like old, like creepy.
- 53:30Yeah.
- 53:30Gray hair baggy.
- 53:31Just like Uhhuh.
- 53:31Yeah.
- 53:32A hundred percent.
- 53:32Yeah.
- 53:33Uh, I don't picture him attractive.
- 53:35It starts with a W.
- 53:36Yeah.
- 53:36I don't know.
- 53:37But yeah, he was creepy.
- 53:38Oh my gosh.
- 53:39Nevermind what?
- 53:43They have like a sex ed scene in one of the books.
- 53:47It is just in college.
- 53:50Well, you know, they're learning how to, because birth control is different.
- 53:54Oh, they have to do what?
- 53:56Yeah.
- 53:56Yeah.
- 53:56Okay.
- 53:57But, oh my gosh.
- 53:58I have to tell you, I was so into, the different names like Facebook.
- 54:04Mm-hmm.
- 54:04Instead of Facebook and the STD names were like, um, I don't remember, but they had to do with like fairies or, you know, stuff like that.
- 54:13I was just like, oh, that's, that's pretty witty there.
- 54:16I want this made into a movie or like a TV show.
- 54:19A TV show, a series.
- 54:20It would have to be a TV show on stars after 10 o'clock at night with all of the warnings.
- 54:25Well, apparently there's like a raci, TV streaming app that the other book is on.
- 54:30Oh, really?
- 54:31Yeah, they made it into a TV show.
- 54:32Oh, really?
- 54:33Yeah, it was, but it's on like a raci, like it's like a racy name for the app, and I was like, oh, that sounds like it's mm-hmm.
- 54:40X-rated.
- 54:40Mm-hmm.
- 54:42Yeah.
- 54:42Yeah.
- 54:43Yeah.
- 54:43Lots of naked lots.
- 54:44Again, lots of nice underwear.
- 54:46Mm-hmm.
- 54:46Everywhere.
- 54:47So when Tori, was drowning in the pool, I thought of you, I was like holding my breath.
- 54:51I'm like, this is, you were like, this is how Meredith always feels when there's gonna be kind of pool scene.
- 54:55Yep.
- 54:56I thought the character development was really good.
- 54:58Mm-hmm., Other than I think the voices threw me off.
- 55:01Mm-hmm.
- 55:02Um, to differentiate between the twins, but I think the length of the book, you really got to know, and there's so many characters, but you kept them straight.
- 55:12The boys I was fine with.
- 55:13Yeah.
- 55:13I just got their names mixed up.
- 55:15Like I, I associated them more with their house or whatever, whatever it's called.
- 55:20But yeah, I agree.
- 55:21And the way that they, they shift and they start to recognize.
- 55:27The power that they have and all the things.
- 55:29Yeah.
- 55:29Definitely a lot of growth there and a lot of, development and you get to know'em all really well.
- 55:35The world building was really good in this.
- 55:37That was the main point of, I think Book one Uhhuh is developing this, this world for you to mm-hmm.
- 55:42Kind of enter.
- 55:43Mm-hmm.
- 55:44And, um, existing with them.
- 55:46Yeah.
- 55:46Uh, and it was very descriptive.
- 55:47It was, but it wasn't like too wordy.
- 55:49It wasn't overly agreed.
- 55:50I think it was chef's kiss Yeah.
- 55:52Really the right amount of detail without being too much.
- 55:55Yeah.
- 55:55Yeah.
- 55:56I didn't realize there was two authors in this book.
- 55:58Oh, didn't neither.
- 55:58Yeah.
- 55:59So one wrote for Darcy's part and one wrote for Tori's part.
- 56:03So crazy that they are still so similar.
- 56:07Mm-hmm.
- 56:08Huh.
- 56:09Okay.
- 56:10So with two separate authors.
- 56:12Okay.
- 56:12Um, did you realize that in this Zodiac universe there is 25 books so far?
- 56:18No.
- 56:18So that, like their spinoff series?
- 56:20Well, yeah.
- 56:21I saw like novellas or whatever they're called mm-hmm.
- 56:23That are like the 2.5 or whatever.
- 56:25Yeah.
- 56:25Wow.
- 56:26Yeah.
- 56:26So I found, a blog called Bookish Goblin, and so she researched all the books and then put them in order how you should, like timeline.
- 56:35Oh, that's, see, yeah.
- 56:36That's, um, and so it mixes up all of the, uh, different mm-hmm.
- 56:42Syn offs into the Zodiac Academy.
- 56:44Nice.
- 56:45So I'll send that to you if you want it.
- 56:46Okay.
- 56:46So it's 25 bucks, so That's crazy.
- 56:48You're for a series to get into and be for a while.
- 56:51And I, I do love that about a series, like, I love finding a series with a, a lot of, now this is a lot.
- 56:57I have a feeling by the end of this series, these characters aren't even gonna be in there anymore.
- 57:01Yeah.
- 57:01Well, I think with the, the spinoffs, I think it, it, you know, we could probably get into the parents and like Yeah.
- 57:06Like the, all the other.
- 57:09Probably governmental, whatever stuff.
- 57:12That's when I get lost.
- 57:13Yeah.
- 57:15Um, what'd you think about it?
- 57:17I liked it.
- 57:17Again, I think it, it's got all of the things like all like the supernaturally stuff.
- 57:22Mm-hmm.
- 57:22Which is cool.
- 57:23Um, it's got some spice.
- 57:25Mm-hmm.
- 57:26had the drama.
- 57:27Yeah.
- 57:27Again, I felt like it was a, a adult Harry Potter.
- 57:32Yeah.
- 57:32Meets Vampire Diaries.
- 57:34Yes.
- 57:34Meets Gossip Girl.
- 57:36That's really a perfect description of what it is too.
- 57:38Mm-hmm.
- 57:39And also a little bit, you said you didn't do, don't list, but, but those kind of books, same thing where you pick your house and pick your whatever.
- 57:46Same with the relationship.
- 57:47Drama, same.
- 57:48They're just naked.
- 57:50Um, not in adult list, but in this one's naked.
- 57:53Any KKID naked.
- 57:55I liked it too.
- 57:56And like I said, I've already read a few ahead.
- 57:58Mm-hmm.
- 57:59Just because, um.
- 58:01Invested in the story and not what they all say.
- 58:02Mm-hmm.
- 58:03I just read it for the, for the purpose.
- 58:05No, but like, I really do wanna know like how things turn out Yeah.
- 58:08And some other things.
- 58:09So, well, this book, they just like stopped.
- 58:11Like, it just, it did stopped.
- 58:12Like there was so like even it was relatively short time period too.
- 58:16Just stopped.
- 58:16Yeah.
- 58:17Yeah.
- 58:18I'm like, well, what, I mean there wasn't even like an inclination that the book was ending.
- 58:22It just was like done, done, done.
- 58:25And I will say that the more I've listened to'em, I'm able to tune out, the play.
- 58:30Yeah.
- 58:31But with some of those scenes being spicier mm-hmm.
- 58:34The noises are very distract.
- 58:37You can imagine.
- 58:40Like, it's like, I mean, I don't want Jackson to walk in and hear me listening to this because he is gonna.
- 58:45Whatever.
- 58:46Um, whatcha are you watching, mama?
- 58:47Right?
- 58:48I'm not watching anything.
- 58:49I'm listening to it.
- 58:50It's like, that's just as bad.
- 58:51No.
- 58:52I liked it too though.
- 58:53Yeah.
- 58:53I, funny thing I saw on Facebook in one of like, the book groups that I'm in, for book recs mm-hmm.
- 58:59A girl was like, I need a recommendation for a book that is super spicy, like all the things, but has a very basic cover so I don't get caught right in public.
- 59:11That is funny.
- 59:12That is funny.
- 59:13They should.
- 59:14That it should be the market for.
- 59:17That's why you get a Kindle though.
- 59:20But that should be, yeah.
- 59:21No, bare chested men holding a woman with like her top falling off on the cover on a motorcycle.
- 59:27Oh, right, right.
- 59:29It should be, it should be just like a cover of like an old summer house or something.
- 59:33Like fao.
- 59:35Yes, exactly.
- 59:37Exactly.
- 59:38I like the book though.
- 59:39Yeah, I did too.
- 59:40What would you give it?
- 59:41Um, eight-ish.
- 59:42Me too.
- 59:43Like eight, nine.
- 59:43Yeah.
- 59:44Yeah.
- 59:44More distracted by the audio part and that, that, yeah, that would be like the, the not so great part.
- 59:49Yeah.
- 59:49And then the, the Tory Darcy thing is just threw me off.
- 59:52Yeah.
- 59:53Um, yeah, I thought it was really good though.
- 59:55Same, same added.
- 59:56Did too.
- 59:56Whoopsie.
- 59:57Well, next week obviously we won't be here, but we were supposed to read.
- 1:00:01Mm-hmm.
- 1:00:02If you guys want to continue on, all this and more by paying Shepherd and I just finished this.
- 1:00:07Mm-hmm.
- 1:00:07Because we just decided today we're taking a break.
- 1:00:10You know how we are.
- 1:00:12But it was actually kind of like different, like you picked your, your, your way.
- 1:00:16Your path.
- 1:00:17Yeah.
- 1:00:17Didn't I just talk about this?
- 1:00:18Yeah.
- 1:00:19We wanted that.
- 1:00:20No, I listened to it straight through.
- 1:00:21'cause I I wasn't stopping like the middle of what I was doing to like pick a path.
- 1:00:23Like, so if you listen to it straight through, it just gives you, you get everything.
- 1:00:26It's like 15 hours.
- 1:00:27Okay.
- 1:00:28But you can pick different paths of where this girl goes in her life.
- 1:00:32Oh, cool.
- 1:00:33For different outcomes.
- 1:00:34Okay.
- 1:00:35I'm looking it up now'cause I'm still gonna really read.
- 1:00:38funny that we just had discussed that.
- 1:00:40Yeah.
- 1:00:41And you're not already sucked into the 25.
