He's very self centered and just hasn't actually been in love. Like,
0:03
doesn't know how to had a woman on his arm or something. Different women.
0:07
Like, I'm pretty sure a challenge accepted was, can I sleep with
0:11
a woman on Every month or was it every week? I think it was Monday.
0:14
It was every day a different woman for a month. Rise
0:18
and shine, ladies. You're tuned in to skirts up with Samantha and Melissa. We got
0:22
your daily dose of hope and humor while we discuss everything from failing
0:25
to succeeding and all the spiciness in between. Hey.
0:29
It's Amanda again. Hey. It's Melissa, and we are
0:33
back. Yes. Episode 3. Yeah.
0:37
Look at us just trucking along. This is kinda fun.
0:40
So today, we have a guest. And I'm really
0:43
excited. This is somebody that Sam has known
0:47
through a Facebook group for a while. And
0:51
when we first started the podcast, Sam, you came to
0:55
me and you were like, there's this girl. She's so cool.
0:58
She's so nice. She's nonjudgmental. I've never in my life been
1:02
in a drama free Facebook group. And
1:06
this is a drama free Facebook group. And it's called what's the name of
1:10
your group again, Lola? It is Not Your Mama's Mom group
1:14
Okay. On Facebook. Okay. And Lola, who,
1:18
is the creator of the Not Your Momma's Facebook group.
1:22
And tell us a little bit about that.
1:26
So I kinda started it when my son was maybe 6 months
1:29
old, like, 4 years ago almost now. That's your first
1:33
baby? Yes. My first baby. So I didn't really have, like,
1:37
a close community or, you know, friends and family to
1:41
kind of help me and get advice from. So
1:44
I and also all the other mom groups that I was
1:48
in were just so toxic, like, the drama and
1:52
Impressive. Yes. For no reason. Like, why are you coming at
1:55
me like that? We're all supposed to be, you know, knitted together,
1:59
helping each other. Like so I like
2:03
so many groups. The other mama groups are like, if you post,
2:07
hey. I'm having a hard time trying to make a
2:11
decision about, do I give my baby the COVID vaccine or
2:15
not? Then, like, another mom will jump in and be like, if you give your
2:18
child the COVID vaccine, you're a fucking idiot. Yeah. But then the other moms will
2:22
jump in and be like, oh, you all are gonna kill the population if
2:25
you don't. And it's like, woah. Woah. Woah. She just asked you to, like
2:30
you know, like, there's no need to attack somebody like that.
2:33
So after seeing that in so many of the groups, I just wanted to create
2:37
something that made me feel good and made other people feel good and
2:41
safe. And, you know, like, we're all in it together as a
2:45
community at the end of the day. You know? So so
2:48
I actually how did you get such a cool group of
2:52
people? Like, where did you start? Did you send it out to your not
2:56
must not have been your your where did you get people?
3:00
What did I do? I think I may have shared it with a couple of
3:03
my friends, and they just started inviting people. Like, the group
3:07
started in Lilburn, and that's where I'm from. And a lot of people
3:10
went to high school with me there. Yes. So, it's based out
3:14
in Lilburn. So a lot of people from Lilburn have joined, but also
3:18
other people, like from different states, different countries. We have
3:22
a couple people from the UK and Canada, Australia, stuff
3:25
like that. So, I mean, it gets shared pretty much everywhere. And the
3:29
more people that, other people invite, you know,
3:33
obviously, it starts to chain of, you know, the
3:37
in invites and stuff like that. It keeps everyone communicating in a
3:40
positive way. Mhmm. Because I I don't have kids. So I'm not trying to
3:44
make this about me right now, but I do well, I think I have a
3:47
lot of experience with moms and mom groups because I used to
3:51
nanny. I nannied for, like, 9 years. I'd
3:55
well, my babies suffer quite a few different families, but I,
3:59
I would have to say nanny because I was, Yeah. Nanny is a better word
4:03
anyway. Baby stat, just like you're sitting on baby, really?
4:07
So, anyway, I guess my point is, I remember
4:10
going to some of these groups and I'm I
4:14
I'm an outsider. I was sitting there watching all of the moms.
4:17
Right? I was the one that was watching other I I had brought
4:21
children to the group to play for playgroups and stuff, and,
4:25
most moms were really nice. I kinda feel like,
4:31
sitting back and watching everybody, there is a lot of there
4:34
was a lot of judgment. And I feel like for some reason,
4:38
we as women, it's easy to, like,
4:44
bond over attacking someone else. Does that make
4:47
sense? And I I don't love that. It makes me really
4:51
sad because when I'm looking at all these women, I feel like I could
4:55
see, oh, yeah. She's a little bit insecure in this aspect and
4:58
she's got issues in this aspect. But I think that's
5:02
more of what it is. Not like because that's not bonding. Jealous
5:06
over what you have, I think, is what that is.
5:10
Because anger has to send from somewhere else. It's gotta come
5:14
from somewhere else, you know? So I think most of the time
5:18
when moms in general see something, they're like, oh, I wish I had
5:22
that. But also, like, I'm gonna be rude to her because I don't have
5:26
that. And I have the privilege to be. It's like, what? Ew. Why? It is
5:29
it gives you something to work on for sure. And Melissa, that's a really great
5:33
point of view because these mom groups, that's an actually really valid
5:37
Mhmm. Point that, like, I
5:41
think that You see a lot of it, though. Yeah. Like, that makes a lot
5:44
of sense that you would join a mom group because when you're full
5:48
day long term taking care of a child, that's really valid.
5:51
Why would you not want that support as well to better learn
5:55
how to x y z? Like, constantly,
5:59
you know, communicate
6:07
sense. Right. Right. And I think a lot of times, we just want some
6:11
validation that what we're doing is okay, and we forget that
6:15
it's okay to say, hey. Well, I think also society
6:19
makes us so scared of failure, right, and messing up. Oh,
6:22
because either thing that you do is a failure to
6:26
someone. Yep. And it's like, you know what? I think that everybody's
6:30
just so afraid of just being judged that
6:33
they kind of, like, do the judging first, if that makes sense. I think that
6:36
happened so long. Yeah. But so I think it's amazing that you could start a
6:40
group. But I guess we've introduced Lola, so I was
6:43
thinking maybe we go into our topic of today? Yeah. What
6:47
is our topic today, fam? Today, our topic is our
6:51
top 6 favorite TV shows of all times.
6:54
Okay. Why did you decide to do this topic?
6:58
I chose this topic because, right now, I'm a stay at
7:02
home mom. I don't get to discuss anything with anyone. Like, it's
7:06
just the mundane, normal day to day conversations with
7:10
just my husband about how was your day? What did you do today?
7:13
And if I'm reading a book or if I'm watching a TV show that I've
7:17
never seen before, all my commentaries are just in my
7:20
head. Something about that TV show that just really,
7:24
really I felt really passionate about and really, really loved. I don't have anyone to
7:28
share it with. You're right. I can't get
7:32
my husband to watch the same shows as me. Exactly. And then we're,
7:35
like, we're both going different directions. Right? We're very busy. It's not that Mhmm. We
7:39
do have some shows that we watch together, but and it's like, I really wanna
7:42
talk to him about this. But, yeah, okay. They don't know what I'm talking about,
7:45
so they can't give me any feedback or their opinion on it. Yes. And so
7:49
the shows that I have felt something very
7:52
passionate about, like, I'll be this I'll be explaining it,
7:56
and, he'll be like, that sounds like a really weird thing to
8:00
feel passionate about. And I'm like, you just you would have to understand. You would
8:04
have to see what I'm talking about to understand why, like, it just feels so
8:07
passionate. I will say that we have one show that we,
8:11
like, have watched together. And at first, he told me absolutely not. Like, this is
8:14
gonna be dumb. But now it's become both of our comfort shows. So there is
8:18
one of those. So at least there's one. Are you gonna share?
8:22
What is the show? Yeah. So, it's actually
8:26
my top one. It's called How I Met Your Mother.
8:30
That one. Okay. Have you seen it, Melissa? I
8:34
have seen it. I did not get into watching it all the time, but I
8:37
have seen it. And it is funny. It's funny. It's cute. Yeah.
8:41
So that one is my favorite. It's my favorite go
8:45
to, like, if I'm just exhausted,
8:57
For those who've never seen it, what's the premise of that show? So that
9:00
show, it's about a group of friends, and it's basically just
9:04
their life together. The whole point is that the main character, Ted
9:08
Mosby, is explaining to his children how he met their
9:12
mother through, like, what, like, 8 seasons, 10 seasons? Like,
9:15
stories and stuff like that. Yeah. And it's just episodes about
9:19
that. Yeah. About And their friendship through along the way and stuff like that. The
9:22
ending is probably my favorite. Oh, I actually the ending The ending,
9:26
I have seen it. And I cried even though I'm didn't get invested into the
9:30
whole thing. Cry every time. It's the only only, only show
9:34
that makes me cry every time. But I think it's because it the
9:38
ending of that show actually makes me a little frustrated because you have
9:42
this long buildup of finding the mother and how he got to the mother and
9:46
how he got to his wife and just this, like, basically love story
9:49
of how he got to her. And they bring her
9:53
in in the last, like, season, so about, like, the last 4 or
9:57
5 episodes, honestly. Spoiler alert. Oh,
10:00
yes. Spoiler alert. And then so
10:04
you fall in love with with this mother and with his
10:08
wife, and they don't give you enough time to to
10:11
get to know her. They don't give you enough time to get to know her.
10:15
And before we know it, it just shows us that she dies. And
10:19
that's basically how it ends. And so for me, it's so
10:23
frustrating that you just fall in love with this character, and you just fall in
10:26
love with her. And then boom, over. She dead.
10:30
Yeah. No. That is
10:33
so sad. And then anything like where children don't have like a
10:37
parent like that just gets me. That's so hard for me. And then the
10:41
other but the but the part of the ending that I do love
10:45
is that I love very much, the, what's that
10:48
word called, the character change in Barney, his
10:52
progression, and how his character changes because
10:56
he goes from not ever wanting a family, not ever having
10:59
love, like, just not having that as well. Self
11:03
centered, right? He's very self centered and just hasn't actually
11:07
been in love. Like, doesn't know how to He always had a woman on his
11:10
arm or something. Different women. Like, I'm pretty sure a challenge
11:13
accepted was can I sleep with a woman on Okay? A
11:17
different day of the month. Every month or was every week? I think it was
11:20
Monday. It was every day a different woman for a month. Yeah.
11:24
That sounds like a lot. Yeah. And it ends with him having
11:28
a baby and finally having that connection of finding a true love. And it was
11:32
his little girl. Oh, I have a
11:35
baby. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It was so good. And
11:39
like, and that's just my favorite. That's my favorite go to
11:42
for a background television because it's just I know
11:46
exactly what's gonna happen. I can really laugh with it. I love their quotes and,
11:50
like, their inside jokes, and I I freaking use their inside jokes, like, in real
11:53
life all the time. So which one of you wanna go first?
11:57
What is your top favorite go to? So I have
12:01
a few shows that I have to choose a top. I don't think I can
12:04
do that. I just I've never been one of those people that can choose a
12:07
top, but I can choose, like, a top 5. Beautiful. But
12:11
I'll just give you guys a couple. I've got, like, the office, parks and rec,
12:15
the IT crowd. Do you guys know that one? I don't know that one. I've
12:18
actually never seen any of those. I know I'm, like, a minor of the group.
12:22
That's okay. And then New Girl, which I've been
12:26
doing now. New Girl. It's the best. The best. I am obsessed with
12:30
New Girl too. So oh, and then one more. Sorry. The Mindy Project.
12:33
I love The Mindy Project so much because have you ever
12:37
watched I've heard about it. Alright, girl. You're gonna have to pick 1. The Mindy
12:41
Project then. I'm gonna pick The Mindy Project. Okay.
12:45
She played Kelly in The Office, but, anyway Oh, I know
12:49
who you're talking about. Yeah. I think it's Mindy Kaling is her name. She
12:52
plays a gynecologist, who's, like, in her
12:56
twenties, late twenties, early thirties, and living in, like, New York. The
13:00
relatable. Trying to, like, date. And
13:05
I love it because she's kind of she's a very flawed
13:09
character. Very flawed. She's relatable,
13:13
but, like, she's also kind of a bitch. She's okay.
13:17
So she's not she's not always that nice, but,
13:21
she's kinda self centered. That's self reflection. Yes.
13:25
Does she at least progress into, like, a grown character? Like
13:29
it's like the episodes clearly show that it's not
13:33
a secret. Like, everybody knows she is, and I don't know. I feel like she
13:36
kinda works. I don't know. I think anything that could make you look at yourself,
13:39
like, am I like that too? Is a good is a good
13:43
thing. I wanna say yes. Yes.
13:48
She does. She ends up having a kid and kinda yeah. No. She
13:51
does. It's just very slow. And I don't know. For me, maybe it
13:55
was slow for me too. I'm 43, and I wanna say a lot of
13:59
the things I learned about my life, I didn't really learn till well into my
14:02
thirties. And so I don't know. Maybe
14:05
maybe that's another reason I kind of relate to her, and I like her. But
14:09
some of my favorite comedians are from that show. They're, like, they're knit.
14:13
Yeah. To add that to my list? Yeah. Yeah. It's it's it's
14:16
really good. She's just got all of these stereotypes in this show
14:20
too. Like, she has, like, the New York guy who's, like, super tough, and
14:24
he can't get in touch with his feminine side. And then, like, there's the other
14:27
male gynecologists that work upstairs from them that they have a rivalry
14:31
with. And they're super, like, holistic, and they don't believe
14:35
in natural or they only believe in natural medicine. And so
14:38
she's obviously, like, an MD doctor, and so there's,
14:42
like, a huge clash there. They just have all these
14:46
stereotypes in it, and I That's a real life stereotype, though. Yeah. That is a
14:50
real life clash. Mean. Right. So I don't,
14:53
I don't love stereotypes in real life, but I like being able to kinda pick
14:57
them out and see and be like, you know what? Just because they're being stereotyped
15:01
But that's exactly what we're here to talk about. It's like just because
15:05
you strictly believe in one aspect, one
15:08
one side, and someone else strictly believes in one side, it's
15:12
real life. And what we're trying to do here, Melissa, is we're trying to
15:16
get people to nicely see there are two sides to this coin. And
15:19
just because we don't agree, doesn't mean that we can't
15:23
be friends. That's or have a difference of opinion.
15:27
Yes. So it's really fun. I think I'm also someone who will
15:31
pick out those stereotypes also and be like, oh, that's interesting.
15:35
They're really ugly to each other. Note. Let's not do that,
15:39
Samantha. Like Right. Okay. I like that,
15:42
aspect, that point of view. Sounds good. So what's yours, Lola? What are
15:46
you gonna share with us? I think my top one is probably Grey's
15:50
Anatomy. Like, top, top, top because I've seen it about 10
15:53
times already. I think most people have. Wow. Most people I actually never have seen
15:57
it all the way through. It's amazing. I haven't seen it all the way through
16:01
all the new seasons because there's, like, 19 seasons now. Right. Yeah.
16:04
It's it'll take you, like, months. Like, probably.
16:08
Yeah. I think it would take me a year to watch it from beginning to
16:11
end, honestly. But, I mean, it's a great show. Formulaic, though. Right? Like, it's
16:15
not just, oh, there's, a sickness or a problem. We
16:19
have to find out what it is. Oh, no. No. No. No. No. No. No.
16:21
It's, like, based on the characters. Yes. Do you go through the family
16:25
characters' lives, like, what's happening in the offices and, like,
16:28
the doctors' offices and, like, there's so much drama
16:32
in it. And there's no drama in my life, so I need drama somewhere else.
16:36
You know? Like really valid. That's very I need it. I
16:40
crave it, but I don't want it in my life. You know? So I just
16:43
watch it somewhere else. Ever hear how, like, women are
16:47
a well, I say our age, but, women are addicted to, like,
16:51
the true crime and the serial killer podcast. Crime.
16:54
Yes.
17:05
And watching kids. I need some excitement. Yes. Yeah. That's, you know
17:09
very true. So it just it brings me out of my shell, and I'm
17:12
like, oh, yes. Let's let's watch someone else get into it.
17:16
Yes. For real. I love it. I don't have relationship problems, but oh my
17:20
god. Let me eat my popcorn, you know? So I think that's
17:24
I love that. It's something I crave, you know? If you
17:27
could tell me, like, those I think anything with a little
17:31
spice in it, like, like, all those books I read are spice. So
17:35
there's gotta be some type of spice or, like, you know, hotness in it.
17:38
Otherwise, it's just like That passionate, like, cooking. I
17:42
will say I'm not, like, a super spicy TV
17:46
watcher. See it. Yes. I don't want to see it. I
17:49
actually don't watch a lot of things with nudity. I don't either. So
17:53
the fact that Grey's Anatomy
17:57
has that spiciness without the, like, actual visual showing everything
18:01
because you don't have to do that to to enjoy spicy. True.
18:05
You don't. Just my personal opinion. I agree. I agree. Yeah. I don't wanna
18:08
see booty and titties anywhere. I no. I
18:12
don't, like, want to, but I ain't trying to stare. Don't mind. But you're
18:16
right. Sometimes it's just gratuitous. Right? Like, sometimes, like, what was the
18:20
point of that? Right. Did it even add anything? There's,
18:24
like, a part of me that's bright. That's, like, there just because and then there's,
18:27
like, a part of me that's, like, okay. At this point, I
18:31
have seen, like, 10 pairs of tits. Where's the dick? Literally.
18:35
Yes. Why are the men bodice? Yes. Every single time, I'm like,
18:39
what? I wanna see some man booty. Right. Not woman booty.
18:43
Right. Right. Like, I think if there's never Give us
18:46
give us both some. But the man and the women. Better. Right. And I
18:50
think that I am getting better at it. I think that for a long time,
18:53
there was also, like, a sense of, like, self consciousness in it of, like For
18:56
sure. Okay. I wanna look like that. Yeah. Right? Yeah. Exactly. And
19:00
now I'm just more confident in how I look. Mhmm. Yeah. Because I've had that
19:04
surgery. And so now it's You
19:07
don't have to say I'm confident in how I look because I've had that surgery.
19:10
You can just be like, I'm hot. I mean, now I feel hot. But You
19:14
are. You are hot. You are, girl. Yeah. Yikes. But now
19:17
it just takes away some of that insecurity and that jealousness. So now it pops
19:21
up on TV. Again, I don't I'm not gonna watch a long love scene
19:25
where there's nudity in it. It just makes me uncomfortable. Mhmm. But I
19:29
grew up very sheltered, and I kind of was taught to cringe.
19:32
Like, my parents would cover my eyes during kissing scenes,
19:36
and I don't I've kind of worked hard not to be like that. And
19:40
so there is a part of me that does feel uncomfortable when I watch those
19:43
scenes too. Just because it's engraved in your head. Yeah. But I don't wanna be
19:47
that way. I wanna be like, wait. This is just a this is our natural
19:50
body. But I do think it has to do with this it does need to
19:54
have to do with the story or else if it's just there for, like, clickbait
19:58
Just because. Yeah. That's not That is so funny because I don't
20:01
feel like I was sheltered. I'm just naturally, like, cringe about
20:05
it. And you were sheltered, so it makes sense that that's
20:08
programmed in your brain to, oh, I'm supposed to cringe. But I
20:12
also could see why that makes you feel like I shouldn't
20:15
be cringing. This is natural, and I'm gonna feel natural about this. Right. And
20:19
I feel like I should be too in a sense, but, like, I just can't
20:23
I can't bring myself to, like, sit there and watch it. Exactly. The same. I
20:26
have, for years, been like, this shouldn't make me cringe. Come on. Snap out of
20:30
it. Snap out of it. And so then finally, I was like, I think it
20:34
just makes me uncomfortable, and I think I can just accept that.
20:37
Like and, you know love that. I'll be respected for it. It's
20:41
fine. Right. If you have people around you that actually care about you, they're gonna
20:45
respect you. Like, there is this movie,
20:48
Leonardo DiCaprio movie. What was it? The wallflower movie. And
20:52
there's so much nudity in that. Is that, like, Wolf on Wall Street or
20:56
something? I think so. Okay. So much nudity in that. Yeah. I
20:59
haven't watched it. My husband literally turn it off, like, 2 minutes. I'm watching
21:03
it. No worries. Turn it off. Yeah. Oh. And it's with naked girls
21:07
everywhere. I'm like, what the Yeah. I have a question. Why? I
21:10
think I I feel like that would stress me out too. Because I feel
21:14
like they're trying to get a reaction for that. Yes. Right? Yes. It's
21:18
just been too many sensory overload too. Okay. I feel like we got off
21:22
topic. Lola, did you explain why
21:26
Grey's Anatomy makes you passionate? And I just need some kind of,
21:29
like, brain tingling reinforcements. Do you know?
21:33
That feeling like you're a Grey's Anatomy doctor. Like, oh, I know what I'm talking
21:36
about. Be a part of the team. Like, I'll be like, baby,
21:40
Let's go. New orthotics. Yes. Like, let me fix your boo
21:44
boos. You gotta know doctor. You gotta stab that pin into the
21:47
trachea. Yes. And then you gotta, like, put the little,
21:51
little thing down there and just yeah. The tube thank you. The trachea
21:55
tube, get the get the 4 on not the 409, but the, like, the
21:59
Fisler clips. You clip it off like any like, there's just
22:03
so many possibilities. I really wanna be an OB.
22:07
Who wants to go on topic number 2 or, show
22:11
number 2? I can. Shoot. Well, shoot. Do I choose something
22:14
because here's the thing. Something that
22:18
has me Something that just really has you
22:22
really feeling it and, like, why? Okay. It's Fargo.
22:26
I love all seasons of Fargo. Have you guys ever watched it?
22:29
No. Melissa, you are way more, like,
22:34
TV show knowledgeable than we are. I like this. I don't know. I don't know
22:38
about that. So Fargo is really
22:41
interesting to me because it's kind of like
22:45
watching a piece of art. The music is so good.
22:49
You're sometimes you're just like I was listening I was watching
22:52
it the other day, and I we have a roommate.
22:56
My husband and I have somebody that's staying renting a room from us,
23:00
and he has never seen Fargo. And I was imagining, what
23:04
does it sound like to him? Because there's long periods of just music
23:08
Oh. And you're watching things happen, but you're not bored.
23:11
You're it's very you're kind of feeling the anxiety and the tense
23:15
and this. And No. I really appreciate
23:19
you bringing that up because some of the other shows that, like, are on my
23:22
list, like, it's because of the emotion
23:26
that they make you feel because of Because I wanna cry today.
23:30
Because yes. Because of the art and because the way it's videoed because of
23:34
the way it's directed. Yeah. And that's like what you just explained is
23:37
like, you love it because of the way it's basically
23:41
directed and portrayed. Really cool shots and
23:45
Tell me what is it about. Fargo is an anthology
23:48
series, meaning that each season's a different
23:52
story, different time period. Oh. And it's basically
23:56
this weird murder that happened in this little tiny town. She's
24:00
pregnant. She's a police officer. And I love that they made,
24:05
I loved that there was, like, an odd woman.
24:08
She's kinda like but she's not stupid. She's smart, and
24:12
she figures things out and while being in the oddball. Yeah. And so
24:16
that first season kind of was based on that on the
24:20
on the TV on the movie, I mean. Well, actually, the other thing
24:23
I like about it too is because there's always multiple stories going on and how,
24:27
like, sometimes they intertwine and the people from this story have no idea that
24:30
something over here totally affected what happened to them. Oh.
24:34
Yeah. It's so fun, and it's so ironic too. Probably
24:38
happens in real life, honestly. For sure. It's just it's really too smart.
24:42
How aggressive is it? They call her the type
24:45
oh, like, do you mean aggressive. Like, trigger Abuse.
24:50
Abuse. Like, abuse? This this this season, I would say,
24:54
yes, maybe trigger warning. Yeah. This season, it was
24:58
really interesting, actually. So like I said, it's art. So when she
25:01
went back to, like, deal with her past, they did it in a way
25:05
where they showed it through a puppet show. And it
25:09
was kinda it was creepy, but it was also, like, I
25:12
was really glad they weren't showing real people because it was It would have
25:16
been graphic. Yeah. And if you've ever had had a situation, like, with
25:20
sexual abuse or anything like that, it could have it could have triggered you for
25:23
sure. Like, I was Okay. Well, that's good to know because there's definitely shows like
25:26
Outlander is a lot of people's, like, favorite show. And I can't get
25:30
past, like, the first and second episode because that's that's enough
25:34
trigger for me. Like, I can't get past it.
25:38
Okay. So So I think her topic really
25:41
reminded me of, Stranger Things just because there's so many
25:45
different things happening I love Stranger Things. The show. And then I
25:49
love it. And then, like, there's, in the
25:53
not chapters. I'm trying to Seasons. Books. In the, seasons. Thank
25:56
you. There's different, like, sceneries
26:00
and different places that the demogorgons are
26:03
taking over, you know. So it's like, it's not in the same spot, but it's
26:07
nest it's in the same, like, town. Mhmm. But
26:10
he he just goes to different places around the town. It's
26:14
like different dimensions? Yes. Right? Is that Yeah. Yeah. The
26:18
up and the down. Yeah. It's honestly so good, but I hate
26:21
waiting so long for the seasons. Mhmm. Because I think it's been
26:25
almost 2 years now. So what about stranger things,
26:29
like, makes it one of your go to shows? It's just how
26:32
interesting it is and all the characters. I really love the character, like, build
26:36
up and displays, the attachments that you
26:39
make too. There was one attachment, what's his name? The long
26:43
haired guy with the curly hair. Oh, Billy Billy?
26:47
Yes. Billy. He was really bad at first
26:50
Really? With his sister. Yeah. That's right. His
26:54
character development kind of changed to protecting the town
26:58
and doing all this stuff for the people of the town. So and he was
27:01
cute. I know. And so there's, you know, a plus. Yeah. He did do
27:05
some things to kind of redeem himself, and I was like, they're gonna try
27:09
to change him, and now I'm supposed to like him, but he's a bad guy.
27:13
He's such a he was so mean, but then they share his
27:16
history with his mom and you're crying, and you're like, damn
27:20
it. Mhmm. But then Yeah. Basically. Yeah. But
27:24
it's good because it kinda brings us back to what Sam said
27:27
earlier. Why do we why does everything have to be black and white?
27:31
Why? Mhmm. Like, things are not just one way. Like, there
27:35
are different ways to see the same side of the coin or off different money.
27:38
You know what I'm saying? Mhmm. And if you see someone
27:41
like, it's it's someone that you knew in high school and you just see
27:45
them as this person that they were in high school, that doesn't mean
27:49
that that's who they are at 30 years old. Right. Like,
27:53
I would hope that, you know, the same bully in
27:57
middle school or the same bully in high school is not that bad
28:01
person here at 30 years old. I would have hoped they had some kind
28:04
of change within themselves. You know? Right. You're
28:08
right. And, also, we don't even know what was happening to have them
28:12
act the way they were acting back then anyway. Right? What were they exposed
28:16
to? What were they like, something's always happening behind closed doors that we
28:20
don't know about. Always. Yes. Always. You know, now that we're older,
28:24
you know It's interesting. To the show point, like, you don't
28:28
you can change your mind because people change, and it just shows that people change.
28:31
And you don't have to treat them like they were before. Yeah. So
28:35
Billy, is he one of your favorites? Probably. And
28:39
then, what's her name? The girl that works at Chips Ahoy.
28:43
Oh, you're vegan, like Maya. Well, her real life. No. Is her real
28:46
life? No. That's her name in real life. Real life. Okay. I was like, I
28:49
don't know her name's in real life, but yeah. Yeah. The girl with the blonde
28:52
shirt hair, is that who it yeah. I love her. She is so funny and
28:55
she reminds me of me, like, her weirdness, quirkiness is like
28:59
Same. Oh, I love her. She's so cute and everything too. And, like, her
29:03
and Steve, their relationship was so cute. Best friends. Really is.
29:07
Oh my god. You if you haven't watched it yet I have watched it
29:11
because my husband's obsessed with it. It's the best. And, usually, I don't like
29:14
shows like that. It's not one of the ones. Not normally.
29:18
I'll read books about it, but I'm just now starting to get in,
29:22
like, my fantasy realm and stuff like that. So I'm kind of opening up
29:25
more to it. But I think when I started watching it, it
29:29
was when it first came out, and I was like, yo, what is
29:33
this? Like, I've never watched anything like this before. So it sucked me
29:37
in immediately. I was like, Brett, you have to watch this show. It's about
29:40
kids playing Dungeons and Dragons in the eighties. And he's like,
29:44
okay. Yeah. It was definitely the opposite for us. Simon's like, oh, I love it.
29:48
You gotta watch it. It's so good. And I'm like, but it's children.
29:52
Like, I don't I have enough children to watch. I mean,
29:56
most of them are, like, adult ish. Now I understand. Now I
29:59
understand why. It's it is a good it's a good take. Okay.
30:03
So my my show number 2, let's see. I think
30:07
we talked about Lola's. We talked about your show 2 number 2. My show number
30:10
2 that I just watch all the time well, not all the
30:14
time, but, like, when I just want something familiar, is Jane the Virgin.
30:18
And a lot of people look at me like I'm insane. Like, that show is
30:22
so stupid. But It's so cute.
30:26
It's very comical. It's very It's like an umbrella. It
30:30
is. It's a telenovela. Mhmm. And it's really Is it like ugly Betty
30:34
was? I never watched that. I haven't watched it either. It's very,
30:38
it's it's it's basically an Americanized telenovela. I said
30:42
that wrong. So it's things that would
30:45
typically not happen in real life. Mhmm. But
30:49
part of why, especially now, I appreciate that so much is
30:53
because my life is a telenovela. Like, things that are
30:56
happening,
31:05
And so it's just there's a lot of comedy in it. But then I also
31:09
really like the aspect of where it brings in
31:13
the challenges, and it really shows you the struggles of an
31:16
immigrant family that has moved into America and the
31:20
troubles that they go through and how they're treated. And, and
31:24
it's just like, I'm getting goosebumps thinking about it. It's just very,
31:28
like, it's nostalgic. It's
31:32
like, to me, it's giving you a different
31:35
perspective, like full body. Yes. Like you are experiencing
31:40
someone else's experience, and someone does experience that. There are
31:43
obviously people that that this that part, that aspect
31:47
is their life that we don't understand because we have not experienced
31:50
that. So I love that aspect of it. But I also can relate because
31:54
of my life experiences, especially currently, but also
31:58
the actors, no one else could play them. No one
32:02
else could. Yeah.
32:06
Gina Rodriguez, no one else could play that part. Like, it
32:10
had to have been her her mom I love her mom. Had to be her.
32:13
It could not have been anyone else. Her dad could not have been anyone else.
32:17
Like like when you watch it, I think you pick up yes. You learn
32:21
their characters. And it's like you understand, like, it could not have been played by
32:25
anyone else. They really know their character. They do. Like, they
32:28
have that body. Mhmm. And that is where my obsession and my
32:32
love for Gina Rodriguez has come from. I watch everything she's been.
32:36
I love her so much. I wanna be her friend. Okay. What's going on my
32:40
list? It's Jane the Virgin. It's really good. Super
32:43
cute. It is cute. But and I, like,
32:47
I like I don't mind watching shows that bounce back and forth from English to
32:51
Spanish. Mhmm. It's got, like, a commentary aspect to
32:54
it. So, that's also really funny. Like like, where they're
32:58
talking to the camera? Like a narrator person. That narrator in the
33:02
background that's speaking Jane is feeling very upset today because
33:06
Yes. I love it. Will she get over that feeling?
33:10
Yeah. And then it shows you like what and then obviously, it plays
33:14
out. And I don't know. I just it's one of
33:17
my shows that just makes me feel things. I was looking up
33:21
Gina Rodriguez to see what else she's in. Oh, she's in Not Dead
33:25
Yet. I've seen that a lot of it. That show, I just started
33:28
watching, and oh my god. I haven't watched the last episode
33:32
yet. My sister has prepared me to be disappointed, so I'm really
33:35
that's why I haven't finished it. It. I kinda stopped. Yes. Okay. I'm
33:39
gonna I'm gonna put both of those on my list then.
33:43
Okay. So, Lola, give us the number 3
33:46
show that you couldn't live without.
33:50
Probably Gilmore Girls, just because it's
33:53
so comforting to me. And, like, I like the fall seasons
33:57
in it, the winter seasons in it. Oh, it gives you all the seasons? All
34:00
the seasons. So you get to, like, experience the change and all the
34:04
characters, the change in the town, the change in, like, the whole, like,
34:07
scenery of it. And just I, to me,
34:12
can sit with a cup of coffee and just enjoy it. Feel like you're in
34:15
that season with them? That's so fun. Like, this is what I like
34:19
to hear about, like, the intense details of why someone likes the show. It's so
34:23
good. And just, like, Lorelei is probably one of my favorite just
34:27
because I wish I had a mom like that that was so headstrong. And,
34:30
like, she is not her daughter's mom, but she's also a friend to
34:34
her and teaches her, you know, right from wrong. But
34:38
also lets her have, you know, her freedom and what she wants
34:42
to write. So I also think though, because she
34:45
had her so young, I also feel like she doesn't know how to be a
34:49
proper mom and a proper authoritative figure. That's my opinion of
34:53
it. Though I could see depending on how you were raised,
34:56
that you wish you had a mom like that. So I could see both. For
34:59
me, I think it's a lot of irresponsibility and that she should be a
35:03
little bit better, of a mom. I just wish because my
35:07
parents were, like, they weren't strict, I would say, but
35:11
they also had, like, hella rules. You know what I'm saying? So I just
35:14
wanted a little bit more, like, honestly, where I could talk
35:18
to my parents and tell them, hey. This is how I'm here. I think in
35:22
that aspect, but not of, like, so much of the freedom letting me
35:25
do this and that, but I just wanted that closeness with my parents. To be
35:29
able to just be open with that without feeling Mhmm. Afraid to tell them
35:32
something. So it just makes me super uncomfortable. Like, I I or not
35:36
uncomfortable but comfortable and I wanna live that life and be in Rory's shoes and,
35:40
you know, experience her college aspects and,
35:44
you know, go through life with her and just her and Dean and then her
35:47
other boyfriend and stuff like that. It's just I just the part
35:51
that I see a lot of is that Rory's growing up
35:54
feeling like she's the mom and taking care of her mom, and that's something that
35:57
I just strongly hope that that is not what my family is like.
36:01
It definitely changes in the end for sure, I think. Mhmm. But
36:06
Laurel kind of wakes up. Have you seen Gilmore Girls?
36:10
So I actually, for the reasons that you're saying, thought that
36:14
I would love it because I love small towns. I love, like,
36:17
the little coffee shop on the corner with the fall and walking in a sweater
36:21
and but I couldn't get into it.
36:25
It was really hard. I felt like there was a lot of complaining about how
36:28
good their life is. It's a lot of complaining. Lorelei is a
36:32
very complacent person for sure, and she gets things handed to her and stuff
36:36
too. These are first world problems.
36:40
But I couldn't get into it, but
36:44
I feel like I the the feelings that you're saying it evokes for you
36:48
are is what I or what I expected that it would effervesce. I, I Yeah.
36:51
And there's some things obviously that I don't like about it. Like, it's kind of
36:55
a not I wouldn't say a slow burn, but,
36:59
it just it's really slow and the characters are just, like,
37:03
meh. You know, like, their conversations and stuff. Just like,
37:07
why are there so many pauses in between? You know, like, what are
37:10
we doing? There's some awkwardness. Yeah. It's so awkward. I
37:14
it's just one of those shows that I watched one time all the way through,
37:17
so I don't have this, like, engraved into my memory. Yeah. The more you watch
37:20
it, the more awkward I think it gets. Yeah. Because you just pick up on
37:23
all the stuff that you haven't, like, picked up on before. Annoying.
37:26
Yeah. Oh. Why? Why are we doing that? I think you brought up
37:30
another Yeah. This makes me feel so weird. Yeah. Like, I think you brought up
37:33
a good point actually about how you said the characters are meh. Like, I feel
37:36
like you're onto something. You kinda have to have, like, a passion
37:40
whether you intensely like or dislike one of them. And, again,
37:44
there's no black and white. I'm like, I'm not saying they have to either be
37:46
good or bad, but, I feel like there's
37:50
gotta be something to make you say feel strongly about them, I
37:54
guess. Mhmm. You want that? I think you're on to something because,
37:58
again, we grow from the first time we watch this show. So if we watch
38:01
this show for the first time when we are 19 years old, and now
38:05
we're 30 years old rewatching that show, probably what makes us
38:08
love and feel passionate about a character may make us different. It will
38:12
probably maybe make us cringe in our thirties of, like No internet. They
38:16
should not have been acting like that. They should not have said that. They should
38:19
not have, like, I would hope that I wouldn't be reacting like that at
38:22
their age. And I bet that as we grow
38:26
ourselves and as we age ourselves, that how we feel about a
38:30
topic and a character at one age is not how we feel later.
38:33
Yeah. That's right. Because I mean, for now, I could rewatch it now.
38:37
And then my feelings might, you know, be different. That's very possible. It
38:41
may have been like a favorite at one stage, otherwise. Because it was a while
38:44
ago when I first started it. So it's just boring to me
38:48
now. Yeah. So I'm just like, no. I love the
38:51
coziness of it. Obviously, just it's so so. Is it
38:55
still like your number 3 show? Probably. Just still to have it in the
38:59
background? Yeah. Because I'm so you see it, but hearing the noises and stuff
39:03
that goes on. So, like, comfort. Yeah. I just it's that
39:06
comfort. You know what to expect, and you can't be disappointed because you
39:10
already know what disappoints you and what. So it's
39:13
just either that or I put on something else that I have no interest in
39:17
and then end up changing it to something that I have, you know,
39:21
a comfort. That makes sense. That's because if I don't like it, I'm gonna change
39:25
it right back. Well, it reminded me of the phrase, the enemy, you know, is
39:28
sometimes just because you know, like, what to expect. So sometimes,
39:32
having something that you don't love on but you're comfortable with it is better than
39:35
having something new on that you're not sure even if you
39:39
objectively might say, oh, I kinda think that technically is a better show.
39:43
Well, who knows? There's so many things to rate shows, but but you know what
39:47
I'm saying. Mhmm. Like Yeah. Interesting. K.
39:51
Melissa, give us your next, like, must have show that you're just
39:55
passionate about. I guess I would say
39:58
office and parks and rec, comfort wise. They're just kinda
40:02
like they're just quirky, weird people that
40:06
I hate. Everyone's quirky and weird. Yeah. Yeah. I
40:10
love it. I have to say that I'm probably the odd one
40:13
out, and I have not watched either of them because something about the
40:17
filming of it, I can't I can't get into it. The
40:20
filming. The close ups The documentary style. Weird.
40:23
Yes. Which is so good. I love documentaries. It it
40:27
makes it it's so awkward. Well, maybe it's the
40:31
awkwardness. Right? I think that I think it you're right. I think I've seen,
40:35
like, 1 like, a couple of episodes, and then I'm like, oh, that's
40:38
cringy. Like, oh. Feel like that secondhand embarrassment for them
40:42
sometimes. It's intense, and I, like, I don't wanna feel I don't wanna feel
40:45
like that. Like, I'm already embarrassed in, like, anywhere. Watching it
40:49
happen. Yeah. Yeah. I feel that for myself enough.
40:53
Like, let's not. Okay. I can see that. Yeah. I
40:57
can see that. That's funny. But, you relate to, like, that kind of
41:00
quirkiness, and you enjoy
41:04
Oh, so maybe I should actually I am gonna throw another show with
41:07
that. It's the IT crowd. So
41:11
this one is British humor, and
41:15
it's about these 2 guys. They work in this
41:19
for this big corporation. They're the IT guys for this conglomerate of a,
41:23
like, Skyrise type office building, but they're in the
41:26
basement. And it's really funny just like
41:30
they're it's another world down there, and it's just them 2, and they're
41:34
both really weird. I love it. I love it so much.
41:38
Okay. You have to clarify. It's a whole another world as in, like, literally
41:42
another world or, like, they're just in their own little world? Their own
41:45
world down there in the basement is like I don't know how to
41:49
explain it. Okay. So it's those 2 guys, and then
41:53
the company decides they need someone down there managing them. So they
41:56
send down this woman who knows nothing about the IT
42:00
technical side of things. It's just funny because now she's, like,
42:04
thrust into their world. Right? So
42:07
they they it does have stories where they try to go out into the world
42:11
and, like, date or whatnot, and there's this whole episode where they take
42:14
out these prostitutes thinking that they Oh. They don't know they're
42:18
prostitutes. Like, they take them to the park Oh my god. And they're, like,
42:22
at the amusement park going on rides and stuff together and, like
42:26
That makes sense. I could see how that would be funny and, like, entertaining. It's
42:29
funny and cute. And one of my other favorite episodes is they have, like, this
42:33
underground fight club, but it's an actual spelling bee. What?
42:37
And so you know, it's so dumb. I know. So Moss goes
42:41
and he says and so they're, like, all in this parking lot
42:45
and they're, like, having, like, a throw down, right, with
42:48
words. And Moss goes, I came here to drink my milk and kick
42:52
some ass and I just finished my milk. And it's like it's so, like, stuff
42:56
that's not normal. Okay. This actually sounds enjoyable. Thank you. It's
42:59
just stupid. And it's kind of reminding me of Big Bang
43:03
feels. Big Bang Theory? A little bit. Yeah. Yeah.
43:07
But I would feel like and I think I might only say this
43:10
because, honestly, now that I think about it, Big Bang would be a really good,
43:14
like, background show. But I think that my next
43:18
top three right now is This Is Us. I
43:21
am watching it. I'm behind on times. I am watching it
43:25
for the first time right now. And I just know I
43:29
like I'm I don't commonly watch shows as they come out and
43:32
people get real intense into them. So right now,
43:36
it's kind of in the past. And so now I've decided to watch it. And,
43:40
oh, my god. I just the
43:43
the the way the story is played out, the way
43:47
this, like the stories are told and the way they intertwine.
43:51
Like, it's just I don't know that I've seen a show like that
43:55
on how it comes together. It's gonna make you want to cry. I actually know.
43:58
I know people who say it makes them cry every episode. And no, I've not
44:01
cried. I I got very upset. I mean, I I felt like a
44:05
little, like, gloomy after Jack dies. But
44:08
My mom, she would sit there and cry at every episode. So that's where I've
44:12
been, like No. You know? I think it just depends. I did. I
44:16
Aw. I did. It doesn't make me cry every episode, but it just makes me
44:19
go, like, and then, like, man, like, the
44:22
different perspective, like, you know, as siblings. Like,
44:26
you're gonna remember a story and a scenario and a situation one way,
44:30
but your sibling has a different glasses on,
44:33
basically, of how perspective of that situation. Yeah. What? And what it felt for
44:37
them, and they remember it differently. And I think that that's a very interesting,
44:41
thing to show because that is true. It is very true. I get that
44:45
with my brother all the time. Yeah. And I just I don't
44:49
know. I love it and the different paths that you end up taking and
44:53
just the love story of the mom and dad and, you know, the
44:56
love story that Randall ends up in. And it's just it's just very
45:00
cozy. And I just really enjoy watching it play out and how it plays
45:04
out and really enjoying it. And I'm sure that I would end up watching it
45:07
again. Well, then I'm gonna have to watch that. Mhmm. That's
45:10
cute. Yeah. For me, part of it is the nostalgia. Like, they literally are
45:14
born the same year I was born. Oh. Well, no. I think they were born
45:17
in 79. Either way, I was born in 80.
45:20
And so watching, like, all of the back flash flashback
45:24
episode, I'm like, oh my god. And you can see what
45:28
era you're in as it plays. I I do enjoy that aspect of
45:32
it too, and it's like because I laugh all the time. Like, Simon
45:36
is not enjoying the show at all. But, like, you know, if I've had a
45:39
rough day with the kids, I'm like, tough. I'm gonna watch it because it's gonna
45:41
soothe me. And I crack up every time it shows,
45:45
like, the time period of when she's got, like, that blue eye shadow, like, all
45:48
over her face. I'm like, that is not a good look. God. I remember that.
45:52
More blue eye shadow all the time, and she might still to this day. I'm
45:54
not sure. My mom still wears blue eye shadow. Oh, really? I swear to
45:58
God. That's the only color she will ever wear. It is so funny.
46:01
But in I think part of it that, like, I find interesting is
46:05
like so you can tell that they change in each season of their
46:09
life. And it reminds me of, like,
46:12
okay, so I've worn my makeup the same way since high school. And
46:16
then now that I just turned 30, like, literally, I'm like, I feel
46:20
like I need to, like, redesign myself. Oh, fun. I need to make a change.
46:23
I probably shouldn't wear my makeup the same way that I wore it in high
46:26
school. And so I've literally been playing with different, like, makeup setups to see, like,
46:29
okay, should I wear my eyes like this now? Should I wear my eyes like
46:33
that? And it's, like, I've been playing around with my makeup. And so it's just
46:35
really funny at my it wasn't that drastic as it is in the show. But
46:39
it's, like, to that point, like, where you start seeing a change in my makeup
46:43
now, in my clothing. Oh, yeah. And then maybe it'll come back around sometime soon.
46:46
Yeah. You know? It's true. It will. I remember when I was
46:50
little and my mom would be like, because when
46:54
I, not I say little, but when I was a teenager and
46:57
the clothes were what are happening now. And so
47:01
Mhmm. We wore everything, not just bootcut, but,
47:05
like, at and loose and big bootcut. Right? Just kinda like it is
47:08
now. But my mom, I remember her saying Oh, that's right. Yeah. I
47:12
will I will always wear skinny stones. Like it. But, And I
47:16
like the baggy stuff too just Yeah. I remember her saying,
47:20
oh, those are the same pants I wore in high school. And I was like,
47:23
not really. It's not the same. And No. But it now I'm
47:27
feeling the same. I'm like, no. It's literally the It's literally
47:30
the same thing. It's freaking old navy. And I'm like, no. Not the
47:34
knit spaghetti strap dresses. That is
47:38
so funny. That's like I want a whole another episode on that because I love
47:42
the generational changes and how people view them because that is like
47:45
The kids now are like, oh, it's new. It's like, no. I mean, we had
47:49
this back in the day. Flare jeans now with the high top and, like, I'm
47:53
you just know that, like, our, you know, another generation is like,
47:56
no, that was in when we were there. And now like, the skinny
48:00
was is like now like, it's interesting. Yeah. I
48:03
think that's that's a whole great another topic. So
48:07
what kind of brought this topic on was, I also
48:10
saw a, an article in The
48:14
Times about why it is that we have these same episodes that we watch
48:18
over and over again. And it really just as we were talking about
48:22
naturally, like, those topics came up. It was, why do we do this?
48:25
And it's, so because we
48:28
have, one, feeling like that sense of community
48:32
and, feeling like you have someone you
48:36
can relate to. And okay, so one of those reasons was it also
48:40
can make you feel more restored if you're sitting there scrolling
48:43
through, your Netflix or your Hulu and your
48:47
Prime and sometimes all of them because you just can't make a decision
48:51
because you're exhausted. It's the end of your day. You've already fought all
48:54
your children. You've already put out all of the work fires, and now it's just
48:58
your time to flop in bed, flop on the couch, and let me just watch
49:02
something that just makes me feel whole again and calm.
49:06
Yeah. In the article, she said something to the effect that we can Yes. We'll
49:10
link that article in case you wanna see where you align. It's nice to have
49:13
something familiar. Mhmm. Yes. And what I am struggling
49:17
with right now is that all the new episodes that are new
49:21
shows that I try, I find that I get hooked hooked hooked
49:24
into the show. Maybe lose a little bit of interest, but now I have to
49:28
know how it ends. Yeah. My example of this is Pretty Little Liars.
49:31
Like, I got hooked again. I'm late to the show. I just started it, like,
49:35
a couple of months ago. I'll have to watch that too. I I never did
49:38
see it. It it really wasn't worth all the time. Right. Because the ending was
49:42
so awful. Oh, okay. It was very disappointing. And then I'm
49:46
like, I wasted, like, a month What did you watching the show. Well,
49:50
spoiler alert for anyone, but, what did you hate about the ending so much?
49:54
It's so left field. Oh. Like, it completely kind of
49:57
changes. Like, it doesn't really make sense of
50:01
how it got there Okay. I guess? Yeah. Or how they got there?
50:05
It it starts with having to Didn't build to anything. It didn't.
50:08
No. I don't feel like Okay. I mean Basically, I think that they were
50:12
trying to keep up with the factor where you cannot guess.
50:16
Mhmm. Like, you the the like, you have to guess who this
50:20
person a is that's watching the group, basically. That's destroying
50:24
their lives and making it very miserable and very hard. So it
50:27
that's it keeps you locked in of, like, okay. Well, who is this person? Like,
50:31
let's get to the bottom line. Who is it? Okay. Yeah. But they're also based
50:34
on books, so the books may be a little better. Oh, that's probably.
50:38
Honestly. So I haven't read them yet. So I wouldn't know.
50:42
Yeah. But I would I would assume that books are better than the TV
50:46
shows. I would hope more detailed because it just literally goes boop boop
50:49
boop boop. Okay. Like, what happened? Okay.
50:53
Interesting. You know? Yeah. That's not that's not fulfilling. Right? Okay. So I
50:57
know that y'all, like, sneaked in a couple of extra TV shows, but I
51:01
think you can't forget to put in friends. Like, who does
51:04
not watch friends? Not. I love Friends. Is that not everyone's
51:08
backup show? So for Friends,
51:12
it Are you about to say that's not for you? Yeah. It
51:15
was kind of not really. Kind of. So when it came out,
51:19
it obviously, it was in the nineties. I was, like, 12 or 13, I
51:23
think. And, all
51:27
of my friends watched it, but I wasn't allowed to because it wasn't
51:30
like, it was probably in inappropriate, apparently.
51:34
Yeah. Looking back now for sure. Yeah. But I didn't want
51:38
I didn't so I didn't watch it until I was in my late twenties. And
51:41
I did get, like, sucked in, but part of me feels like
51:45
that maybe I got I just wanted to know what everybody else
51:49
loved so much, and so I watched all of them. And I haven't I
51:52
don't know. When I go back and watch them now, like you said, different stages
51:56
of our lives, I go whack and watch them now, and I'm like, I don't
51:59
know. Things make me cringe. But I could see that.
52:02
Yeah. I don't know. Something's wrong. So, like, there's a there was a
52:06
part of my a time in my life when it did fill, I guess, a
52:09
need because I felt like I was kind of, like, able to get in with
52:12
everybody else. That one is for sure. Train too. I would
52:16
watch this too. That is for sure the one that's, like, a sense of community,
52:20
a sense of being. You feel like they are your friends. Yes. I do. I
52:23
feel like I'm in the apartment next door. You know what I'm saying? I'm sure
52:27
that each of you have shows that are your comfort shows and your go
52:31
to shows. And I'm just curious. Do you are any of the shows
52:34
that we mentioned the ones that you guys find the comfort in and the ones
52:38
that you guys find the community in? We're gonna post this on our social
52:41
medias. Make sure you follow us on Facebook, on Instagram. You'll see
52:45
some behind the scene photos, some videos, and tell us Yeah.
52:49
What shows are not on our list that should be. I'd love to know because
52:52
I, for sure, can share my list Yeah. From the 2 shows I normally watch.
52:56
Yeah. I feel like this whole thing was a spoiler. But you know what?
53:00
That's okay. Because I feel like once we get into the show, you're not gonna
53:03
remember what we said. So You can spoil it. Go watch the shows. Alright,
53:06
guys. So we had Lola. Lola, thank you so much for joining us today. Having
53:10

53:13
is gonna be basically our pop in cohost from time
53:17

53:21

53:25
we want. So show her some love as well by following

54:06

54:10
in the world. I will not walk up to someone and start a conversation. Anxiety?
54:14
So much anxiety. I popped 2 anxiety pills before we hopped on here. I all
54:18
did. I mean, Lola what? Lola?
54:21
Lola. Lola just walked into my house, and it felt natural, and it felt
54:25
normal. And I was like, once we sat down in front of the mic, so

I just kinda looked at her and I was like This is it. I feel
54:30
like, we met before. Like, we've hung out so many times. This is normal. It
54:34
