In the U.S., you can call or text 988 or use online chat at 988lifeline.org. agree, even sometimes when I'm like listening back, I'm like laughing at us and I'm like, how are we like this? Olivia: Truly. How did we find each other? You know, like like thank God we did, right? But but like did ⁓ Andrea: Yeah. Olivia: Two cosmic beans just clashing into each other. Beans. Not beans like the food. Like beans. Andrea: beans? I like bean. Olivia: don't. ⁓ Andrea: Beans are magical fruits. The more you eat, the more you toot, the more you toot, the better you feel to eat your beans for every meal. Olivia: ⁓ over the weekend, ⁓ kinda similar. My husband was trying to get our daughter to like focus and ADHD runs families. and ⁓ made this like little chant to try to like get her to focus so we could get out the door 'cause we were going to breakfast and like Andrea: Bye. Olivia: Both my husband and I like really hungry at this point. And we're like, just get your shoes on, like for the love of God. so we came up with this little chant and then like it stuck and like she still repeats it to us and she goes, Let's bagels, let's get bagels, and she like it with the shoulders and it's hilarious. ⁓ Andrea: Why didn't you tell me this this morning when I texted you and I was like, I'm craving bagels. Again, cosmic beans. Olivia: Because Mighty might have to ruin it. So, you know what I discovered over the weekend, other than chanting things and singing things, helps my daughter focus, which I kind of already knew, I just kinda forget to do because I also have ADHD. I have developed seasonal allergies at three years old. Andrea: Well, shit. Olivia: Yeah. eyes have been like ridiculously itchy for like a week. And like kinda like go after it. Not like rubbing, rubbing, but like in the corner, you know, when you're like trying to like get something out of your eye. Because that's what it also feels like. It feels like there's something in my eye. Andrea: ⁓ no. Gross. ⁓ I hate that. Olivia: ⁓ it's so irritating. So I'll like try to like get it out and then it irritates it. And I've been like, why are my eyes like totally waking up? Like this like really hurts and it like it's really irritated. And then over the weekend I like, man, like I keep getting this runny nose on one side and it's driving me insane. I'm like, Am I getting sick? I'm like, it is it ⁓ I literally couple points over the weekend, it literally like dripped out of my nose so fast I like couldn't even like catch it. It was in s it was so much and it like all clear. So I was like, okay, well I must not be getting sick. And then I kept like having these like sneeze attacks and when I wasn't sneezing my nose felt like I needed to sneeze. Andrea: Ugh. Yeah. sounds miserable. Olivia: It was mis I was miserable. I was like, ⁓ my god, do I have do I have seasonal allergies? Andrea: UGH! Olivia: I was so sad because I have like two siblings that have seasonal allergies and so kinda like in a way I knew it was coming. But I thought because I didn't have it, I just like wouldn't get it. Cause they like kind of like at least ever since I can remember they've had it. And then like I just develop it randomly. 2026? What the hell? Andrea: Yeah. Yeah. I think allergies are the dumbest thing to exist in our world. Olivia: Yeah, I've had to take Claritin for like four days straight. Which isn't like the worst thing. But like Andrea: Yeah, but like, who decided humans should be allergic to things? Olivia: Beans. Andrea: I so. Because fuck this noise. I don't want to be allergic to the air. I had an allergic reaction to cauliflower. Olivia: Pause. You don't say it cauliflower? Andrea: I was emphasizing. Olivia: Okay, I just wanted there's a lot of moments and I just needed to pause because I didn't want I didn't want you to get away from yourself. You mean that. ⁓ Andrea: I tend to enunciate funny when I like, I'm trying to like, emphasize. Yeah. Olivia: make a point. But I mean like honestly how much are you eating cauliflower? I mean like a that sucks, but also like how much does cauliflower come up in your life? Andrea: Well, because I'm allergic to other vegetables, I thought it was one that I could just add to my diet. Yeah, not anymore. Olivia: You know what my favorite Andrea: because I'm also allergic to broccoli and Brussels sprouts. Yep. Olivia: And kale, right? Broccoli, kale, brussels sprouts. What what else? Andrea: Well, not cauliflower and bananas. Olivia: Well Andrea: Yeah, it's a fun one. Technically, yeast, but it doesn't bother me so much anymore. I feel like that one's kind of working its way through. broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower are the kind of big ones. Olivia: And banana. Andrea: and bananas. Yeah. Olivia: Hmm. pivot. Do you know what my favourite vegetable is? You'll never be able to guess. Andrea: Hmm, trying to think of a really obscure vegetable. I wanted to say potatoes, but now that you say that, I'll never be able to guess. Gosh, am gonna say eggplant. Olivia: No, I do like eggplant. It's not my favorite. My favorite is beets. Andrea: Well, what is it? ⁓ I love beets Olivia: I over the weekend I got you know how you normally if you like go someplace and they like have a roasted beet salad or like a beet salad anything beet on a menu anywhere. I am ordering, I want the beets. Andrea: Mmm. Mmm. Beet and goat cheese? Olivia: good. Okay, so where I went to over the weekend. Normally say like smoked beets, that's like not sorry. Roasted beets. Like roasted beets. But this place had smoked beets. Andrea: Okay, I was like, smoked, What? I'm so curious. Olivia: It was it like had a smoky flavor. And it was It was like a salad. So and it had ⁓ they whipped up goat cheese like rr like like it was like a cream basically. So they put the like cream on the bottom then the like salad part was like a mix of like Spring greens and then they had like Andrea: What was it served with? I'm just curious. Okay. Olivia: What am I trying to say? Like candied, ⁓ like pecans. was good. fucked it up. So bad! It was so good. ⁓ Andrea: I'm gonna try not to cry again like the breakfast charcuterie. But creamy goat cheese and beets. Olivia: Smoked beets. I've never seen smoked beets before in my life. It was so good. Also, most people don't like beets or have ever tried it. Yeah. Yeah. Andrea: No, I know. I don't meet very many people that actually like beats. Olivia: My dad and I, my dad loves beets. So, yeah. will pretty much eat any vegetable or fruit. Like, and I'm pretty much the same way. Like, there's some that I like are okay, like celery. I'm like meh. like, I'm not I don't think it's like terrible and I'll never eat it. It's just like I'm not gonna like reach for it, kind of thing. ⁓ But we both ⁓ love Andrea: Really? Yeah. Yeah, not my jam. Right, Yeah. Yeah. Olivia: beats. He grew up with beats though, like he was telling me he's like, ⁓ do you know what Harvard beats are? And I was like, no, I'm not a boomer. Tell me what Harvard beats are. Andrea: Is this a varietal? Are there varietals of beats? Okay. Olivia: No No, although there are yellow beets. Andrea: Yes, so good. Olivia: So good. I still feel like the purple ones are better. Andrea: ⁓ 100%. Olivia: but yeah, he's like, ⁓ yeah, like in school or like elementary school or whatever. like, ⁓ what's it like to have elementary school memories? Anyways, he's the school school cafeteria served these like Harvard beets and it was like the sauce or something that they put on the beets and they were all cubed and like warmed up. He's like and don't know exactly what the sauce was, but like The sauce ended up becoming like kinda purple 'cause it was with beets. He's like, and nobody else would eat them. He's like, and I was like the only one that ever ate them and was like, yeah, these are cool. Whatever. Andrea: Interesting. When ⁓ I googled it, and it's not what he's describing, but it is, a classic vintage New England side dish featuring cooked beets coated in a glossy sweet and sour sauce made of vinegar, sugar, cornstarch, and butter. ⁓ Olivia: What does it say did you Google it? That probably was it. Andrea: That's actually how I grew up eating bees. I didn't know how to name. Olivia: You You're an old fashioned New England side dish. Andrea: We always had beets warm like this or pickled. Olivia: a surprise, I don't like pickled beets. ⁓ Andrea: I surprised by that. But yeah, like this. That's so interesting. I was really expecting like a creamy sauce. I mean, it looks like it's thick-ish, but I was expecting like all the pictures look like it's clear. Like I thought it was gonna be like a creamy sauce on top or something. ⁓ but the beats make it. Olivia: Yeah. Well yeah, 'cause it has the co it has the cornstarch in it. So yeah. no. Andrea: Never mind. I'm done. I got there. Olivia: It's okay, you got there. Yeah. I never had beets growing up 'cause my mom hates them, even though my dad like loves them. So I didn't have them until I was like gosh, probably like in college for the first time. Andrea: ⁓ my gosh, they're so good. Olivia: They're so good. I would I would I would probably almost eat beets every day of my life if I could. Andrea: They're really healthy for you. Like they're super good for your heart health, I think. I think it's heart health. Olivia: I I mean I I don't feel like I can trust much of what you're saying anymore. So Andrea: For reference, go to the last episode. about therapy lookalikes, you shall know what we shall be talking about. Olivia: I'm so glad you do love beets though, and that you're not allergic to them. I mean that's a win. Andrea: No, I love, I love beets. boy, beets and goat cheese are just like the superior like. Olivia: ⁓ I still think about another beet salad I had probably like seven years ago because it had it was arugula and goat cheese and they did roasted hazelnuts. Andrea: Mm-hmm. ⁓ yummy. Olivia: The hazelnuts with the goat cheese and the beets was Ugh. good. I s like I I l I literally like I can picture me having it. Like I I the memory is so vivid of me having a beet salad. Who needs elementary school memories when you could remember the beet salads you had seven years ago? Andrea: I'm out. I'm out. ⁓ Yeah. This is actually so funny. My mom has mentioned to me multiple times she thinks it's interesting that a large majority of my memories revolve around food. Olivia: Why do think that is? have a theory, but Andrea: I mean, my initial thought and my initial theory was like, well, my, like that was a huge family thing is food. Like I grew up in a bakery. Like I grew up around food. Yeah. Like food is such a, was such a huge thing for us growing up. That's the only explanation I can have or maybe like dopamine seeking. I don't know. What's your theory? Olivia: ⁓ so like sharing food or like food together kind of thing? I was ch I was gonna say more of like a sensory thing. That there's more sensory things to that experience and so it's easier to remember. Andrea: Yeah. That's actually a really good theory because like even if the memories aren't directly about like the food that I ate it's a like a lot of the memories are centered around meals or like things like one of my favorite memories another grandma story so buckle up Olivia: ⁓ god. Okay. Andrea: ⁓ my grandma always did Thanksgiving and she always like made slightly weird food for Thanksgiving. But this one year she made a turkey and we were getting towards the end of the time that the turkey was like supposed to be ready and all of a sudden we hear a scream in the kitchen. Like this shriek and we're like, what the fuck happened? Did she burn the turkey? Like, how do you burn a turkey? And we go in there and she's like, the turkey shrunk. Olivia: Yeah. Andrea: And everyone was like, what the fuck? she opened up the oven and there was this teeny tiny little bird in there. Fully cooked, teeny tiny little bird. She at some point had swapped the turkey for a Cornish game hen and tricked all of the kids that she had shrunk the turkey. And a handful of the adults believed it too because they were like, what is happening? Nobody saw it happen. Nobody saw her cook the Cornish game hen. Nobody did it. Like, even had, ⁓ even had like a fully cooked duck also. So she had options. She was like turkey, duck, Cornish game head. Like. Olivia: my gosh. That's amazing. Also the like financial investment. I love that. Andrea: Yeah, was one of my fond, like one of my most fondest like Thanksgiving memories is when grandma shrunk the turkey. Olivia: That's hilarious. I try to think about like the memories that I have that like stick out. think a lot of the ones that I remember are more like travel based. Cause we traveled a lot. ⁓ And so like I remember like definitely are gaps for sure in some of them, but like I remember a lot of trips. ⁓ Like within trips or things like that. ⁓ Andrea: Yeah. ⁓ I have a lot of those too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Olivia: But I do remember a lot of food now. Like adulthood, basically. I have a lot of food-related memories. Andrea: Yeah, same. Same. Yeah. I would agree with that. Yeah. I mean, that makes, it makes sense that it is like sensory or like there was like a, there's a physical feeling. Yeah. Yeah. Makes sense. Olivia: Yeah. What you gonna do? There's more sense Yeah, there are more senses included and so Yeah. We won't like Freud it and be like, ⁓ well like there seems to be like an oral fixation with blah blah blah. And then like reference how you're like allergic to bananas now. Andrea: Could be. Okay, well, that was seg. Olivia: Man, I I did not mean episode and this episode to just be like roast you. ⁓ I to chill. I don't know where this is coming from. I feel bad. I'm sorry. I don't know maybe I'm like upset with something. I I don't know if it's coming. I'm sorry, bro. My bad. Andrea: You're lucky I haven't cried because I'm on my menstrual cycle and I'm sensi. Olivia: Okay. Sensi Andrea: I'm just kidding. Olivia: Okay. ⁓ I really I this is one of those instances where I feel very old when I say that there's a lot of shortening of words that n almost make me physically ill. Andrea: Hahaha Olivia: That I just cannot stand. Andrea: do you feel about starbs? Olivia: Hate it. Andrea: starting to like, not starting. Olivia: Are are you okay. Here's the deal. If you start using them ironically, then you desensitize yourself. That's exactly what you're gonna say. That you're using it ironically. No. No, not. Andrea: No! I use them ironically because I think I know that I'm going to get a reaction from you out of it. Because like, I do not use these words outside of being silly. Olivia: the old gateway. Andrea: But also what I thought of when I said Fency was those stupid oil melts. Do you remember that MLM? Olivia: Yeah. Andrea: Okay, it took a second and then we got there. Olivia: Well, I got caught up in ⁓ L ⁓ s had to had to go through the Rolodex. Sorry. Andrea: Multi-level marketing. the little wax melt things. That was a thing. Olivia: Yeah, my this is like such a random memory from childhood. My mom got one of those like Like one of those like wax things. It wasn't the like wa like hair waxing things, where you like you like look like a crock pot, basically. Andrea: Okay. Olivia: And you like melt wax and you like dip your hand in and then like you would like peel it off and you'd like have like a really soft hand or whatever. Andrea: It was for beauty. wasn't like the sense one. It was different. Olivia: Yeah, it was like it was like I think. I don't know. ⁓ just derped around with it, so I don't really know exactly what it was for, just that we had one and I would just like keep dunking my hand and be like It's like when you like put the glue in your hands and you like peel it. It was literally like that. I was just like, hmm, yes ⁓ Andrea: Yeah. Yeah. ⁓ man, I was so afraid to touch those, cause I was like, they're gonna be hot like a candle. Olivia: Well Andrea: I had exceptional impulse control because I got hit. Olivia: Not gonna touch that one. Andrea: How do I say this that doesn't sound criminalizing to my parents? Olivia: She got hit in the head. Andrea: head, but other areas that like, at really young age when I was trying to be impulsive that just like, I never did it again because I was so terrified of that. So like, ⁓ my control like is ruminating thoughts, like battery life from last episode. Olivia: Ha Andrea: AKA OCD. Olivia: yeah. Hmm. ⁓ I had something else I was gonna tell you. Andrea: spy with my little eye your new ring. Olivia: ⁓ yes. Yeah. Thank you. Andrea: I love it. You look so good. Olivia: Yeah. It's a little bit bigger than I like I probably should have sized down by like a half size. But I like it. Yeah, I like the size, yeah yeah. ⁓ I like the design a lot. It's it's great. Beautiful. ⁓ Andrea: All the size of it. Okay. Yeah. It like matches with your tattoo vibes too, like the diamond D shapes. You crushed it. Olivia: Yeah. I also got the cheap version, so I have to take it off when I like wash my hands and go to bed and go in the shower and 'cause like I can't be bothered. Yeah. I was like, hey, if this like totally craps out because it's cheap, have to get the like expensive version. So if we d ⁓ needs to happen, like I'll just I'll sell the other one. Present's like, ⁓ don't sell the other one. ⁓ I love it. Andrea: Yeah, it's Yeah, I mean at least you bought this one and you know that you like this, right? Now it's like, right? Where if like it does crap out, you're like, okay, well now I can get the nicer one and like, yeah. Olivia: Yeah. you what happened today ⁓ that realized is ⁓ made old navy order. ⁓ also got stuff for my kid. And I w ordered a new swimsuit bottom 'cause my one the one I have is like a little too big. And it says it delivered in like the package that I got and it was not in there. ⁓ Now they shipped a couple of different items separately. So it kind of threw me off. I just like initially I was like, okay, well like I'll just wait until I get the like you've shipped the last two pieces that I need. Or like ordered. And then today I was like, I should have like probably gotten it by now. And then like check and I'm like, hey, like you received in that last package. And I'm like, I definitely didn't. But there's like no way to contest the order. unless I guess like if I called, I'm like Andrea: Yeah. Yeah. That's weird. Yeah. Olivia: Am I really in a Andrea: I mean, their customer service is really good. They'll probably just send it you for free. Olivia: Mmm fine, because you know what happened? felt so stupid. I felt so stupid. I to like order it, right? ⁓ And looking the screen and it was like the like kind of like the order, blah blah blah. And then it was like, how do you want to pay? And I like press Google Pay. Google Pay like comes up and I'm like, okay, yeah, yeah, like that's the information, put it in there. Andrea: ⁓ huh. Olivia: And then like after I put in the Google Pay, it like finalized the order. Andrea: yeah. Olivia: And I like didn't really look at the other part. So I like finalized and then looking at it. And it sent to my old home address, like when I wasn't married, address. And I'm like looking at it and I'm like, ⁓ I was so mad. So I was already like in their chat, like, yo, can you update the address? Went back and forth, like, the best we can do is cancel it and you just have to reorder. I'm like, ⁓ couldn't even like update the address. Which is like ⁓ Andrea: No. ⁓ no. ⁓ how that happened to me. Change the address, yeah. ⁓ my gosh. Olivia: Fine, whatever, so had to reorder it. But I felt so stupid. I was like, also, where is old Navy getting my like 10-year-old Like, how is it autofilling that? Andrea: That's. Yeah. That's really weird because that actually happened to me with an old Navy order where I used Apple Pay and it selected my old apartment. Olivia: That's bizarre. ⁓ Andrea: but also you know that you're going to need to tell me what bathing suit bottoms you bought so that we can continue to match. ⁓ good, because just FYI everyone, ⁓ showed up to go swimming with Olivia once and we were in these bathing suits, just slightly different colors. ⁓ Olivia: ⁓ trust me, they they will still match. Slightly different colors. Yeah, we're gonna be closer actually to matching because I got so before I had a black top and then blue bottom, and you had green and purple. And then I'm got green bottom blue top. But they're both they're both the like ribbed material, whereas my black one was not ribbed. Andrea: Ha ha ha ha! Yep. Yep. Yeah. ⁓ yeah, that's right. Yeah, there's just the same, we still had the same cut of top, even those different materials. We literally were in the same thing. Olivia: So there'll be like matchy material. Yeah. Yeah. reminds me, do you know what I think is an underrated color combo? ⁓ Red and pink. Andrea: ⁓ interesting. Okay. Olivia: I think I think that's like a bomb combo. I don't know why we don't see more of it. Andrea: Yeah, that's true. We don't, do we? Olivia: Cause I literally was like, I should have just gotten a pink and red for like a pink and red like a swimsuit. But then I was like, I don't know if they have those in those colors, so. it can't be like a hot pink and a red. It has to be more like baby pink kind of red. But the colour combo is so good. Like, why don't why don't we have more of that? Andrea: Yeah. Right, no, like a soft pink. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's a good one. I don't know. I don't know. You know what I found out was a weird thing that I do that I enjoy doing? Is I really like picking out color palettes on Pinterest and just saving them for fun. Olivia: It's like referencing her last Rabitrail episode deep in the Pinterest. Andrea: yeah, like I I ⁓ Olivia: I love looking at colour compost too. I have like no use for them at all. Andrea: No, not at all. Mine actually, my Pinterest color combos came in handy the other day. I had a friend of mine who reached out to me and she was like, what colors do you associate with these words? And I was like, ⁓ this color palette. And I just like went to my Pinterest and screenshot and wanted sent it to her. And she was like, that's perfect. I was like, Pinterest. Olivia: My god. The one time that's ever come into handy. But now that's enough for you to continue doing that forever. Andrea: Right, right. Yeah. Exactly. So I'm like, if anybody out there needs a color palette guru, it's not me, but I would love to be yours. Olivia: If you need like my hot creative take, let me know. I rem I wrote it down so I wouldn't forget it. I remembered I was gonna ask you. Andrea: Yeah. Okay. ⁓ okay. Olivia: What's your stripper name? Andrea: I don't, I can't think of one. I don't have one. Olivia: Have you never thought about this? Andrea: I don't know. Olivia: You're concerned about batteries and you can't even figure out your own stripper name? Andrea: Do you already have one? Olivia: Yeah, peaches and cream. Andrea: now I need one. Olivia: I also came up with a secondary one. Andrea: What's the secondary one? Olivia: Cherry pie. 'Cause I have small boobs, like they're cherries, you know. Andrea: like that one. I like it. Okay, I can get behind them. Well now, is it weird to come up with one for me now? Olivia: Right on the spot. I need time, honey. You can't can't put me on the spot like that. Andrea: Okay, we can, we'll simmer on that one and come back to you guys. Olivia: I can't believe it won't My best friend, because we've come up with stripper names for, you know, a long time. it's kinda like the gamer tag sighting that I like told you about. ⁓ It's stripper name, like we'll like come up with like funny stripper names. And his is Cinnamon S I N, like CIN Cinnamon. Andrea: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. my gosh. ⁓ Olivia: I'm like, it's too good. Like Get it. Andrea: It is good. I mean, ⁓ I ⁓ don't like good at ⁓ naming things. Like, just don't think that's strength of mine. ⁓ I'm good at putting pictures to things and like colors to things, but I'm not like naming things. Not great. I did have a really good moment today. my friend's dad has like, is going through cancer and he has an open wound on his head and he's going through this procedure where they're basically gonna like. put a flap of skin on his head to like heal it faster. And she posted on Instagram, she's like, can we have names for my dad's new skin flap? hers was. Aflap. And I gave her flapjack. then I also gave her. Yeah, I gave her a flapjack. And then flap Sinatra. Flappuccino. Olivia: That's literally what was in my brain. Andrea: And there was another one. I can't remember what the other one was. But I was like, this is fun. And how am I actually good at this with this one? Olivia: 'Cause you have a starting word, you're not starting from scratch. Andrea: It must be. think if I have a starting word, it works. But I was like, this is funny. And this is a really good way to like keep his spirits up because now he has because they're using like this website where you can kind of keep track of his health care, which is really cool. And you can add donations if you want. And like, there's people commenting names, and it's just like really fun to see. And I can just see her dad like, crying laughing at these because he's such a like goofy guy. So funny. Oh, writing this down. Olivia: Yeah. Ooh, flaposaurus. Andrea: You Olivia: Flop some more. Ha ha Andrea: Love. Love. Olivia: So stupid. ⁓ if anyone has a good stripper name for Andrea, put it down in the comments. ⁓ I can't think of all on my on my own. Andrea: You I feel like Norma is gonna chime in on this one. I feel like this is a moment for Norma to slide in. Olivia: Yeah. G yeah, give us g give us some ideas. You gotta have a good one. I mean peaches and cream. Come on. It's perfect. It's good. Yeah. mean, come on. Andrea: That's good. That makes sense. I like it. Yeah. Yeah, I'm really curious what we can come up with for me because nothing is nothing is coming to my mind. I've never even really had like weird nicknames like. Just like, like no, like nobody's ever given me like a silly name based off of something that I did or like, like I was, like I never had, like my friends never made up a funny name. Like I don't have like a fun gamer tag or like a name that I go to. Like usually my go-to is Dr. Dre, but like that's not even really original and creative. Like. Olivia: Weird like what do you mean by weird? ⁓ I have so many. Andrea: I don't really have any. mean, like, I've got my basic nicknames, but like a lot of those nicknames were derived out of ways because people couldn't say my name growing up. Yeah! Olivia: Rough. Like I have ⁓ Charlie Olivia Newton John and Newton and OJ my gosh. Totally blanking. I'm I've told you this before. Did I you ⁓ Did ever tell you my first gamer tag? Andrea: I think you did. I think we talked about it in one of our first rabbit trail episodes, actually. Yeah. Olivia: ⁓ Did we? ⁓ okay. Well my first gamer tag I inherited it from my brother and then I changed it, but then like the nickname stuck was Humpback Whale. Andrea: ⁓ nope, we didn't hear that one. That's a new one. Olivia: Yeah, so my first gamertag ever was Humpback Whale. I changed it, surprisingly. ⁓ but the nickname did kinda stick a little. Yep. Yeah. Andrea: That's amazing. Yeah. ⁓ man, yeah, had anything. Like my parents didn't call me anything. Olivia: My mom used to call me Pookie and then my brother started calling me Pookie Pants. So ⁓ Pookie Pants is another like nickname. I also use Pookie with my daughter now too. So the tradition lives on. Andrea: Yeah. I have a million of them for my dog, but like... Olivia: ⁓ my god, yeah. is it with dogs and bringing out the weirdest nicknames? Andrea: I don't know. I don't know. She's psycho, jelly bean, beans, beanie pants, floppy, flipper. Olivia: It like Andrea: Butt sucker. Olivia: This is like across the board. I have not met a single dog owner that doesn't have a million different names for their dog. And their dog like responds to it. Yeah. Andrea: Yeah. Yeah, it's such a thing. Mm-hmm. All of them. Yeah, even if I'm like, hey, bitch, comes right here. Olivia: My ⁓ my most like common one is ⁓ pooper. Andrea: a good one. Olivia: ⁓ yeah, I'll be like pooper, grumpy grumpy boy, tale, big grumble. You can tell exactly the doc I'm talking about based off of all these d all these like names. ⁓ yeah. Andrea: Yeah. Yep, yep, I can. Sometimes I'll just call her Teefers, because she's got an underbite and they're like really crooked. So I'm just like, hey Teefers. Yeah. Olivia: ⁓ gosh, yeah. We Yeah, we say Teefees. We're like, Hey Teefies. Hi Teefies one is like puppy lady. You say that a lot. Yeah. Andrea: ⁓ yeah, that's a good one. Yeah. I've been saying beans a lot and jelly bean. And then, but like for a while she was like, fucker When I'm real pissed off, it's like go to the bathroom, fucker Fucking bitch. neighbors probably think I'm psycho when it comes to like taking my dog out. They probably think that I abuse her. Even though I'm just like standing there against the wall and I'm like, go poop, motherfucker. ⁓ Olivia: Mm. Ha ha. That's so real. There are times where like I will yell at our dogs and I'm like like ⁓ neighbor probably thinks I'm deranged. ⁓ he also has a dog. And like the other dog, like he like you cannot hear him when he talks to that dog. Like when he like does commands. Like I like he clearly like gives a command or something. Like I can hear kind of like something, but it is not loud and I'm like Andrea: Mm. Yeah. didn't even know your neighbors had a dog. Olivia: Both neighbors actually have a dog. Andrea: Yeah, never would have guessed that. And I've stayed at your house so many times. Olivia: Yeah, 'cause they're both quiet as so then this so then I feel like our stick out even more, which is why I like a yell at my Andrea: That's amazing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Somebody moved in down the street not long ago and recently a dog started making sounds from this house. And I'm saying sounds because it's not barking and it's not really whining. It's like, and it's not, I don't think it's a hound dog, but it's a dog trying to make hound dog sounds. Olivia: Hm. Andrea: And I can't tell if this dog is in trouble, in danger, if I should be saying something back to this dog, but man is it disrupting Tasha. Like, I'm like, what is going on? But this dog really wants to be a hound dog or it's in trouble. I don't know. Olivia: That's weird. Andrea: Mm-hmm. Olivia: Yeah, I took one of her dogs to my daughter Show and Tell at school two weeks ago. she thought it was the like best thing to happen to her since like noodles were invented. I swear. Like, she's been asking to take 'cause she we got to bring the dog last year for show and tell. And she's basically been asking almost since school started again, when she could bring him for show and tell. Andrea: ⁓ fun. Yeah, that's amazing. Olivia: So she has been like she was weaning. Like the day of the show and tell, she literally woke up and I hear her like the first thing out of her mouth when she calls out from her room. She's like, Rebel Day! And she immediately runs and like finds Rebel and she's like, It's her day, are you so excited? And he's just like, What? Andrea: Gosh, he's also my favorite even though he's a grumpalumpalus. I fucking love that boy. Olivia: He Yeah, he's he's a grumpy gills for sure. He is ⁓ best friend describes him as like the most pitiful dog that's like ever existed in the world. Andrea: I'm out. ⁓ yeah, I could see that. Yeah. Olivia: He does look pretty pitiful. I yeah. He he's like forlorn. Like if you looked up the definition of forlorn. Andrea: He really does. He really does. But it's like... Yes, I love that. Olivia: Yeah. Andrea: love, I love a grumpy looking animal. Like Olivia: A a a grumpy looking animal that's like clearly actually grumpy. Yeah. Andrea: Not, yeah, exactly. Yeah, like, there's a cat that I'm thinking of that this like, brow that kind of like sticks out like an old man. And it kind of just looks like this all the time. But it is literally like the most cuddly thing and he just wants to lay on you with his like paws. ⁓ I call him the Burt Reynolds cat because he kind of just like sits and like poses but then his brow is like It's so funny. I'm like, I love you. You're a weird looking cat, but like, I love you because you look grumpy and you're not. Olivia: Yeah, you look mad, but like cute. And not a lot of times do people like look mad and cute at the same time. Andrea: Yeah. Exactly, yeah. Even my old dog, my soul dog Henry, he always kind of had this very like stoic look about him, but he was a goofy as little wiggle guy. It was so funny to just be like, you look so serious and so old, but you are just the weirdest little dude. Olivia: That's so true. ⁓ my gosh. right, we should cut ourselves off. ⁓ Andrea: Yeah. ⁓ It is that time, isn't it? I have ice cream! Olivia: Yeah, I know. The world's had enough. have cookies. ⁓ Andrea: Ugh, what kind of cookies? Olivia: I made salted heath chip. Andrea: guys shouldn't have asked. Because fuck you. I have. Olivia: Yeah. Well, at least I wouldn't ration you. Andrea: That's fair. did buy. Have you ever had Culver's you've been to Culver's? Olivia: Yes. Andrea: think it's a Midwestern fast food chain that's really well known for their cheese curds. Anyways, and custard. So it's custard and they basically have these blizzards. They're called concrete mixers, but they're custard. I don't honestly know what the difference is between soft serve and custard. I know there's a difference, but it is what it is. And I got salted caramel and cookie dough. It's so yummy. Olivia: ⁓ that sounds right. Andrea: So yummy. Yeah. So that's what I'm gonna go eat. And then I need to catch up on off campus so we can talk about it at the next rabbit trail episode. Cause I know you're dying. Olivia: Oof. Yeah, I'm gonna go have a cookie. Yeah, I don't think we're gonna be able to wait, but we can recap in the next rabbit trail episode, but there's no way you can wait, make me wait that long. Okay, thank God.
