- 0:12SPEAKER_00: We just returned, we had a fun event that we attended hosted by Berg Brides that was 90s theme at the plaza at the North Shore.
- 0:22SPEAKER_01: If anybody follows my social media, you would have seen our fits.
- 0:25SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we were looking very nice.
- 0:27SPEAKER_00: Best dressed couple is what Berg Brides put on a comment.
- 0:30SPEAKER_01: I feel like out of all the people there, we were probably dressed up the most.
- 0:36SPEAKER_01: Maybe not the most, but like we were in the top 10 for sure.
- 0:39SPEAKER_00: Yeah, top tier for sure.
- 0:40SPEAKER_01: I had my butterfly clips in, I had my sunglasses, my my little tube socks.
- 0:46SPEAKER_00: You looked like someone pointed out that you were go if you were going for the look of Miranda from Lizzie McGuire, you nailed it.
- 0:54SPEAKER_00: And I think you did.
- 0:55SPEAKER_01: I was pulling a little inspiration from there and inspiration from my own childhood because I would wear my hair like that.
- 1:01SPEAKER_01: Who I don't know why I thought that was a good idea.
- 1:04SPEAKER_01: Honestly, wearing the butterfly clips, they were kind of like they did not feel good.
- 1:10SPEAKER_01: Like when our daughter was hugging me, like they kept pressing against my base.
- 1:14SPEAKER_01: I'm like, these hurt.
- 1:15SPEAKER_00: Not well, not well.
- 1:16SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the choker necklace.
- 1:17SPEAKER_00: I have my shark tooth shell necklace.
- 1:20SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the Puka Shell necklace.
- 1:21SPEAKER_00: Puka shell necklace.
- 1:23SPEAKER_00: I had my power line shirt, my Jeff Gordon hat.
- 1:25SPEAKER_00: One thing that people were saying online, we posted that video, I'm I'm unzippering the um Igloo.
- 1:32SPEAKER_00: Igloo fanny pack.
- 1:33SPEAKER_00: Igloo Fanny.
- 1:33SPEAKER_00: I was about to call it a koozie, and it's not a koozie.
- 1:36SPEAKER_02: No.
- 1:36SPEAKER_00: And a lot of people were saying about our outfits that it was more 80s than 90s.
- 1:41SPEAKER_00: My rebuttal is 80s happened before the 90s.
- 1:45SPEAKER_00: There are trends that can cross over to new decades.
- 1:48SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:49SPEAKER_00: Then you made another video of things that were at the event, like baby bottle pops, very upset that I wasn't able to snag one.
- 1:58SPEAKER_00: Those were gone.
- 1:59SPEAKER_00: That used to be one of my favorite things.
- 2:00SPEAKER_00: But there was other candies, there was games, there was troll dolls, and people were saying those were from the 60s and 70s.
- 2:07SPEAKER_01: Again, it can spill over to a new decade.
- 2:11SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 2:11SPEAKER_01: And when we posted our video online, we used the song Faded by Soul Decision.
- 2:16SPEAKER_01: Great song.
- 2:16SPEAKER_00: Great song.
- 2:17SPEAKER_01: Incredible song.
- 2:18SPEAKER_01: But that really came out, I think, in 1999, but it wasn't big in America until 2000s.
- 2:24SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 2:24SPEAKER_01: And people were like up in arms about it.
- 2:26SPEAKER_01: That we used the song.
- 2:27SPEAKER_01: I'm like, it's a it's a banger.
- 2:28SPEAKER_00: That's why we just listen to the song.
- 2:30SPEAKER_00: It sounds 90s.
- 2:31SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 2:32SPEAKER_00: It sounds like boy bands.
- 2:34SPEAKER_00: That's like late 90s, mid-90s, early 2000s.
- 2:37SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 2:38SPEAKER_00: And then they paused with boy bands until One Direction came on the scene.
- 2:41SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 2:42SPEAKER_01: But the party was really, really fun.
- 2:43SPEAKER_01: The food was good.
- 2:44SPEAKER_01: The band Alt Rocks was there, and they were just playing so many great songs.
- 2:48SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 2:49SPEAKER_00: Like I don't think they had one bad, like one song that I didn't know.
- 2:53SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 2:53SPEAKER_00: And they sounded outstanding.
- 2:56SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they were really good.
- 2:57SPEAKER_01: If you're local, check them out or anywhere.
- 2:59SPEAKER_00: The Alt Rocks.
- 3:00SPEAKER_00: We'll have to look up where they're going.
- 3:01SPEAKER_00: Another thing that I kind of we've been discussing it, but I think we're going to start making a move forward to doing our own live, not live show, not a live show of the podcast, but a live event slash show.
- 3:16SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 3:17SPEAKER_00: In the Pittsburgh area to start and in other cities.
- 3:21SPEAKER_00: Hopefully, travel around.
- 3:22SPEAKER_01: I feel like I get a lot of messages of people like, when can we meet you?
- 3:26SPEAKER_01: Are you going to host a meet and greet?
- 3:27SPEAKER_01: And I've been so on the fence about it because I want to host an event that's fun and engaging and memorable, but I don't want people just like coming to a bar to meet me.
- 3:37SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
- 3:38SPEAKER_01: I want it to be an experience that they come.
- 3:40SPEAKER_01: They're like, wow, I had such a great time.
- 3:41SPEAKER_01: I do get to meet people, but more something more.
- 3:45SPEAKER_01: And I think we've landed on the idea.
- 3:47SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 3:48SPEAKER_01: We're cooking it up a little bit.
- 3:49SPEAKER_00: Cooking it up.
- 3:49SPEAKER_00: Stay tuned.
- 3:50SPEAKER_00: Once we actually figure out a location, a date, we'll let you know.
- 3:56SPEAKER_00: Purchase your wig, bring your wig.
- 3:58SPEAKER_00: Bring your own wig.
- 3:59SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 4:00SPEAKER_01: A wig's will definitely be a part of it.
- 4:02SPEAKER_01: And it's just gonna be fun.
- 4:04SPEAKER_00: Yeah, good time.
- 4:05SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 4:06SPEAKER_00: So early stages, but be on the lookout, probably sometime in the fall, winter.
- 4:10SPEAKER_00: I'm hoping like late October, maybe.
- 4:12SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 4:12SPEAKER_01: I don't know if that's too like aggressive to be aiming for that.
- 4:17SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we'll figure out.
- 4:18SPEAKER_00: We have a couple locations before the holidays.
- 4:20SPEAKER_01: I definitely want to do it like before Thanksgiving, at least the first show.
- 4:23SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 4:24SPEAKER_00: So stay tuned for that in the Pittsburgh area.
- 4:27SPEAKER_00: If you want to travel in, great.
- 4:28SPEAKER_00: But if you are local or comfortable driving to the Pittsburgh area, you might see an event pop up that's hosted by Wedding Procast.
- 4:36SPEAKER_00: And game show.
- 4:38SPEAKER_00: But yeah.
- 4:39SPEAKER_01: TVD, we'll see.
- 4:40SPEAKER_01: We'll be announcing that.
- 4:42SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 4:42SPEAKER_01: We're gonna dive right into the story today.
- 4:44SPEAKER_01: And the story theme and the rest of the episode has nothing to do with what we were just just talking about.
- 4:49SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 4:49SPEAKER_01: But it is college theme.
- 4:51SPEAKER_01: Um, and it's a non-wedding story today.
- 4:53SPEAKER_01: So here we go.
- 4:55SPEAKER_01: I maybe had the worst roommate of all time, and I would like to tell you that story.
- 4:59SPEAKER_01: My name is Gina, and my one good roommate was named Amanda, and the bad roommate, we will call her Lacey.
- 5:05SPEAKER_01: Picture this: it's your sophomore year of college.
- 5:08SPEAKER_01: We're moving into the dorms, and we get bumped from a double room unit to a triple room unit.
- 5:13SPEAKER_01: We didn't have a third, so they assigned us a random person.
- 5:16SPEAKER_01: Her name is Lacey.
- 5:18SPEAKER_01: We messaged before classes started, and she was an incoming freshman, a computer science major, liked rock music, seemed pretty chill.
- 5:26SPEAKER_01: She said her only pet peeves were that she was allergic to cats.
- 5:29SPEAKER_01: We didn't have cats, so that wasn't a problem.
- 5:31SPEAKER_01: And that she really wasn't the cleanest person.
- 5:35SPEAKER_01: I had no problem with that because I'm not super clean, me neither.
- 5:39SPEAKER_01: I'm not super clean.
- 5:40SPEAKER_01: Um, but Amanda loved to clean.
- 5:43SPEAKER_01: Amanda and I lived together freshman year, so we had split responsibilities with the chores and the food, and we shared our normal calendar with Lacey and how we broke things up.
- 5:51SPEAKER_01: She responded, okay, and everything seemed good.
- 5:54SPEAKER_01: The good only lasted between the three of us for about three weeks.
- 5:57SPEAKER_01: About three weeks in, we noticed a lot of gnats and flies in the room and a terrible smell coming from Lacey's room.
- 6:06SPEAKER_01: So it must be probably like what we had, where there's like a common living space and then a private room, I think.
- 6:12SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we had that one sophomore year.
- 6:14SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 6:14SPEAKER_00: Not together, but there was suites, yeah.
- 6:17SPEAKER_01: Yeah, the suites, that's what they were.
- 6:19SPEAKER_01: Fancy.
- 6:20SPEAKER_01: Um, she always kept her door locked or shut, but the smell was literally only coming from her room, and it was very strong and a weird smell.
- 6:27SPEAKER_01: Something I couldn't put my finger on, but it wasn't good.
- 6:30SPEAKER_01: I knew that much.
- 6:31SPEAKER_01: Amanda and I put one of those floor air things near her door, and we sprayed a lot of Lysol quite frequently when we walked down the hallway.
- 6:38SPEAKER_01: Hers was the last room.
- 6:40SPEAKER_01: One day she left her door cracked, and I was carrying my laundry basket down the hall towards where our laundry was, and it knocked her door open, and the stench came rolling out.
- 6:50SPEAKER_01: I gagged.
- 6:51SPEAKER_01: I honestly thought there was a dead person in there.
- 6:53SPEAKER_01: I grabbed Amanda for backup and we decided to go into her room.
- 6:57SPEAKER_01: We looked around a bit, but we didn't see anything.
- 6:59SPEAKER_01: But the smell was coming from her closet.
- 7:02SPEAKER_01: So we opened the closet and a smaller bag rolled onto the floor.
- 7:05SPEAKER_01: Think a plastic grocery bag tied up, and there was small things in there.
- 7:09SPEAKER_01: I picked up the bag.
- 7:11SPEAKER_01: Was it dog poop?
- 7:13SPEAKER_01: No, she doesn't have a dog.
- 7:16SPEAKER_01: We both realized it was human poop.
- 7:22SPEAKER_01: I immediately ran out of the room screaming and laughing at the same time.
- 7:26SPEAKER_01: I was so grossed out.
- 7:27SPEAKER_01: I was also crying.
- 7:29SPEAKER_01: We couldn't catch our breath, and then in walked Lacey.
- 7:35SPEAKER_00: Why was she doing that?
- 7:40SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 7:40SPEAKER_01: Oh, like I'm sorry, but could you imagine like going into someone's room and just finding poop in there?
- 7:52unknown: Whoo.
- 7:53unknown: Okay.
- 7:54SPEAKER_01: She was standing there wondering what was going on, and she noticed that her door was open and the lights were on, and she started screaming at us, why would you go in there?
- 8:02SPEAKER_01: What were you doing in my room?
- 8:04SPEAKER_01: We both were laughing so hard we couldn't even ask her about the poop.
- 8:08SPEAKER_01: She just went crazy on us, slamming things around and lecturing us about how that is her private space, and we are trespassing and snooping in her personal things.
- 8:16SPEAKER_01: And then Amanda finally said, Why do you have poop and bags in your closet?
- 8:21SPEAKER_01: And she just stood there.
- 8:22SPEAKER_01: She tried to rationalize to us that in the night, if she has to go number two, she decides to do it in a bag, ties it up, and hides it in the closet.
- 8:33SPEAKER_01: Like she was planning on taking it out, but we were never supposed to find it.
- 8:38SPEAKER_01: Safe to say, after that incident, we had to report it to the room board and we requested her to switch out, but there were no transfer rooms available at that time, so she had to stay in our room.
- 8:49SPEAKER_01: Could you imagine like going wherever you go to the housing board and be like, our we found bags of poop in our room?
- 8:57SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's from our roommate.
- 8:58SPEAKER_01: She's gotta go.
- 8:59SPEAKER_01: She admitted to it.
- 9:01SPEAKER_01: Oh my god.
- 9:02SPEAKER_01: We had to go what we we had to start attending what we called roommate counseling, and we got reprimanded for snooping in her room.
- 9:09SPEAKER_01: But what about the poop?
- 9:10SPEAKER_01: I don't think she ever got in trouble for it.
- 9:13SPEAKER_00: Yeah, dude, yeah, you can't go into someone's room, I guess.
- 9:16SPEAKER_00: But whenever there's a stench and you're been wanting to know what it was.
- 9:20SPEAKER_01: Yeah, like I think the last you shouldn't be you shouldn't be like snooping, but also that's like a wild thing to find.
- 9:27SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like the door was cracked open and she's walking with her laundry and it hit the door open.
- 9:32SPEAKER_00: She probably did it on purpose.
- 9:35SPEAKER_00: We gotta oh now we're we gotta figure out what it is.
- 9:37SPEAKER_01: Oh okay, so Lacey's a weirdo.
- 9:40SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and they are reprimanded.
- 9:41SPEAKER_01: They got yelled at and she they don't think got in trouble for pooping in the bag.
- 9:46SPEAKER_01: That's so weird.
- 9:48SPEAKER_01: Two weeks later, I started noticing that my chapstic kept mysteriously disappearing.
- 9:52SPEAKER_01: Now, if you know me, I always have a chapstick in my hand or in my bag.
- 9:56SPEAKER_01: But if I set it on the counter when I came back from classes, it would go missing some days.
- 10:00SPEAKER_01: I would search high and low, but I could never find them.
- 10:03SPEAKER_01: I finally asked both Amanda and Lacey if they knew what happened to any of my chapsticks.
- 10:09SPEAKER_01: Amanda didn't take it, I knew, but Lacey denied knowing where any of them were.
- 10:13SPEAKER_01: One day I asked them to help me look, and we were all looking around, and I started tracking them.
- 10:17SPEAKER_01: I know it's crazy, but it was my twelfth missing chapstick.
- 10:21SPEAKER_01: I was actually getting annoyed.
- 10:22SPEAKER_01: I knew Lacey was taking them, probably to get back at me for the poop incident.
- 10:27SPEAKER_01: She did improve her hygiene and cleanliness, but we still didn't really like her.
- 10:31SPEAKER_01: We played nice until she got moved.
- 10:34SPEAKER_01: She was on trash duty one week and decided to only half do it.
- 10:37SPEAKER_01: She bagged up all the trash and she left it at the dorm door.
- 10:41SPEAKER_01: I was so annoyed.
- 10:42SPEAKER_01: I went to pick up the bags and moved them in front of her bedroom door as an FU.
- 10:46SPEAKER_01: And when I did that, I saw a clear bag from her room that was filled with all of my chapsticks.
- 10:51SPEAKER_01: The lids were gone, and the chapstick from the inside was also gone.
- 10:55SPEAKER_01: WTF.
- 10:56SPEAKER_01: Oh my god.
- 10:57SPEAKER_00: Is she eating chapstick?
- 10:59SPEAKER_01: When she got back from class, I had opened the bag up and I laid them all out on the table so she would have to address the elephant in the room, my 12 chapsticks she'd stolen.
- 11:08SPEAKER_01: I asked her why she did that, and she responded, Sometimes I'm hungry, and I run and I ran out.
- 11:14SPEAKER_01: I was very confused.
- 11:15SPEAKER_01: What was she talking about?
- 11:17SPEAKER_01: I'm asking about my chapstick, not a bag of chips.
- 11:20SPEAKER_01: That is when she revealed that she has a weird thing that when she's stressed out, she likes to eat chapstick.
- 11:27SPEAKER_01: It sues her eating the waxy substance.
- 11:30SPEAKER_01: And living with us was causing her so much stress.
- 11:33SPEAKER_01: I honestly had nothing to say back besides you're an effing weirdo.
- 11:38SPEAKER_01: I stomped right out of our room to the RA and I demanded she get moved because what the hell?
- 11:43SPEAKER_01: It was another two weeks before she got transferred out.
- 11:46SPEAKER_01: But God, it was the worst two months living with her.
- 11:49SPEAKER_01: She pooped in bags and ate chapstick.
- 11:51SPEAKER_01: You literally can't make this stuff up.
- 11:53SPEAKER_01: She did end up continuing continuing on at school.
- 11:56SPEAKER_01: I really never talked to her, but would give her a wave while walking on campus.
- 11:59SPEAKER_01: From what I know, she lived alone the rest of the year.
- 12:01SPEAKER_01: Godspeed to whoever lived with her next.
- 12:04SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they're like, whoever lived with Lacey next, please write it.
- 12:08SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they had a they had it made, and then all of a sudden, like, oh yeah, we're getting a new roommate for next semester, and then just the cycle repeated.
- 12:18SPEAKER_01: It's like I never had to go through the experience of getting a random roommate because I roomed with somebody that I knew growing up, and at least us two were like paired all the way through our college times.
- 12:30SPEAKER_01: We did have other roommates that we lived with.
- 12:32SPEAKER_01: So we went from like a two to a four, and then the same group of people for like my junior and senior year.
- 12:39SPEAKER_01: You had people you knew, right?
- 12:41SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I had a high school uh friend that was my like freshman year roommate, and then it was friends uh in one of those suites in the dorm sophomore year.
- 12:50SPEAKER_00: Junior year, I moved to a house, okay.
- 12:52SPEAKER_00: You got randoms, right?
- 12:53SPEAKER_00: Well, it was not all randoms, it was some people I knew.
- 12:57SPEAKER_00: However, we had one person either flunk out or no longer gonna be intending slippery rock transferred somewhere, and we needed another roommate, and we found somebody, or our one friend found somebody on a Craigslist ad that he put.
- 13:16SPEAKER_00: He moved in, and it was um like I worked at the outlets right after sophomore semester ended or sophomore year.
- 13:26SPEAKER_00: I went, I stayed for a couple summer courses and worked up at the outlets for two and a half weeks, and then I was realized I'm gonna work at the summer camp.
- 13:34SPEAKER_00: Anywho, this guy moves in, lives with us for not even a week and a half, and both of us that knew each other that were living there at the time, so we gotta get this guy out.
- 13:45SPEAKER_00: He would leave his trash everywhere, laundry was just piled up in our like living area space, and he did not smell well.
- 13:54SPEAKER_00: Bad hygiene, terrible hygiene, and then we can't figure what a way to get rid of him.
- 14:02SPEAKER_00: Uh come a few days later, Brian Murdoch sends a message that he's returning to school and he was looking for a place and saw that we were in search of a fifth roommate.
- 14:14SPEAKER_00: So we canoodled our way and just said, Oh, yeah, the person was supposed to move in is actually coming.
- 14:21SPEAKER_00: And it wasn't the same person, but it was someone that we knew.
- 14:24SPEAKER_00: Was that guy like weird about it?
- 14:25SPEAKER_00: No, he left.
- 14:27SPEAKER_00: He did leave easily.
- 14:28SPEAKER_00: I think Grant might have told the guy that he did smell bad and was leaving trash out, not even putting it into the garbage, and it worked out for us all.
- 14:37SPEAKER_00: But yeah, the junior year I had not random roommates, but it was a cavalcade of people.
- 14:42SPEAKER_00: There's one guy that went to a trade school locally.
- 14:44SPEAKER_00: We had a girl that moved in.
- 14:47SPEAKER_00: Didn't she have a dog?
- 14:48SPEAKER_00: Yeah, when we weren't supposed to have dogs, and we would snuck the dog in periodically, and then it got to like the end of the year, and we're like, just bring the dog for the last three weeks.
- 14:56SPEAKER_00: Kobe was the dog's name.
- 14:57SPEAKER_01: I do remember that dog at your house sometimes.
- 14:59SPEAKER_00: So we had a good time, and then I got out of that house.
- 15:01SPEAKER_00: It was a good location, but I went to the apartments senior year.
- 15:06SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I do feel that I feel that like getting a random roommate could be so great.
- 15:10SPEAKER_00: Like you could make a friend for especially freshman year when you're moved, like going to a new school.
- 15:15SPEAKER_01: But then you also could just have like a nightmare experience.
- 15:18SPEAKER_01: Like, I'm sorry, this person, I would have been like, they gotta go, or I'm moving myself out.
- 15:22SPEAKER_01: Like I do not feel comfortable.
- 15:24SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the poop is one thing.
- 15:26SPEAKER_00: Chapstick is like it's not even close to the poop incident.
- 15:30SPEAKER_00: The poop incident was weird enough.
- 15:32SPEAKER_01: I would have been like, Yeah, I'm surprised.
- 15:34SPEAKER_01: Maybe they did get in trouble, but like the two girls didn't.
- 15:37SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like you can't be doing that, you can't be pooping in your room.
- 15:42SPEAKER_00: Oh, like it's not not I don't know how to justify the the whole situation about doing that.
- 15:49SPEAKER_00: But at the same, like, you're not even if you don't have the strength to go up to the toilet, okay.
- 15:56SPEAKER_00: Like, if you can't make it, you can't make it.
- 15:58SPEAKER_00: I don't have that issue.
- 16:00SPEAKER_00: But to just put it in a bag and not even putting like I don't know.
- 16:03SPEAKER_01: I even think about like a dirty diaper, like when we have it, I'm like, I need to like wrap this up and like put it in something away, like gross.
- 16:12SPEAKER_00: I had so I think I touched on it a long time ago, maybe one of the first few episodes.
- 16:17SPEAKER_00: My bachelor party.
- 16:18SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah, you did.
- 16:19SPEAKER_00: We got switched.
- 16:20SPEAKER_00: I didn't ever tell the story out loud, but we stayed at a place and above the toilet seat said no paper products in the toilet.
- 16:29SPEAKER_00: So we spent the first night.
- 16:31SPEAKER_00: You guys are so gross.
- 16:33SPEAKER_00: Putting the used toilet paper in the trash can and then taking the trash can outside.
- 16:38SPEAKER_00: And then so we're like, we gotta figure out if this is real or not real, because that this is the first time I'm seeing this that toilet paper's not allowed in.
- 16:46SPEAKER_00: So we called the landlord, and we're kind of like, it's kind of weird if he says, Yeah, have you guys not been doing that?
- 16:53SPEAKER_00: So we're just like, oh, we just wanted to make sure it was okay.
- 16:56SPEAKER_00: But we could have done it the whole first night.
- 16:58SPEAKER_01: Yeah, in paper products, they meant tampons.
- 17:00SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 17:01SPEAKER_00: We the the second the morning after the first night, we went to a iHop or a waffle house or something, and there was only one bathroom stall in the men's room, and we were just rotating one by one.
- 17:14SPEAKER_01: Destroying that poor toilet, destroying it, I'm sure.

- 18:17SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 18:17SPEAKER_00: Next segment is college you rather.
- 18:19SPEAKER_00: So it's wedding you rather, would you rather college you rather?
- 18:22SPEAKER_01: This or that.
- 18:23SPEAKER_00: This or that.
- 18:24SPEAKER_00: Got it.
- 18:25SPEAKER_00: Would you rather have communal bathrooms or no air conditioning?
- 18:30SPEAKER_01: I would rather have the communal bathrooms.
- 18:32SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 18:32SPEAKER_01: I like a baby when it comes to like needing air conditioning.
- 18:37SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 18:37SPEAKER_01: Like especially in a dorm, gets all sticky.
- 18:41SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 18:41SPEAKER_01: And like I think about like when you're hungover.
- 18:44SPEAKER_01: I don't want to be in some hot, sweaty room.
- 18:47SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 18:48SPEAKER_00: If I have to go, I don't want to mention I'm like, if I'm going number two in a community space and you're kind of on the fence for it, don't leave your feces in a uh bedroom closet.
- 19:00SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 19:01SPEAKER_00: But my technique is I just flush, and then if I'm like really happening to go, I just go hard whenever the flush is happening.
- 19:10SPEAKER_00: Or I wait till someone's you know using the air dryer.
- 19:13SPEAKER_01: No shame in the game for me.
- 19:14SPEAKER_01: I'm like, if I gotta go to the bathroom, I gotta go to the bathroom.
- 19:16SPEAKER_01: But we were lucky enough at Slippery Rock that we didn't have communal bathrooms and we had air conditioning.
- 19:20SPEAKER_01: But if I had to choose, I would want the air conditioning and I would just deal with the bathroom situation.
- 19:26SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the communal bathrooms are fine for me.
- 19:28SPEAKER_00: Would you rather eat dining hall food for every meal or have to cook every single meal yourself?
- 19:35SPEAKER_00: This is back in college, or if this is like today's world.
- 19:38SPEAKER_01: If it's back in college, I'm gonna I think I'm always gonna choose dining hall.
- 19:43SPEAKER_01: I hate cooking though.
- 19:44SPEAKER_00: It got to a point where I was sick of eating like boozle.
- 19:49SPEAKER_00: Shout out Slippery Rock.
- 19:50SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 19:51SPEAKER_00: A good boozle brunch.
- 19:52SPEAKER_00: You couldn't go wrong.
- 19:54SPEAKER_00: Never eat a banana at boozle because there was a time, I don't know if it still exists, but it was a Twitter page that was S R U Banana Eaters, and it would just catch everyone eating a banana.
- 20:06SPEAKER_00: Um, but the chocolate milk at boozle.
- 20:09SPEAKER_00: But if I would, I was never getting the hot meal, like whatever the special was.
- 20:14SPEAKER_00: I would always, like especially freshman year, getting the burger or getting the grilled cheese or going back and getting the pizza.
- 20:22SPEAKER_00: Like over time, I was getting a little, probably didn't need that anymore.
- 20:26SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I also would like overeat when I would go to the dining hall.
- 20:29SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 20:29SPEAKER_01: Like I'd be like, oh yeah, there's macaroni and cheese, French fries, I'm getting them all.
- 20:33SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 20:34SPEAKER_01: When there was good options though, like there was always a salad bar, and there was that, like you could make sandwiches if you were just at the normal dining hall.
- 20:41SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 20:41SPEAKER_00: At Boozle.
- 20:42SPEAKER_01: At Boozle.
- 20:43SPEAKER_00: And then Wise and Flu, they weren't taking meal swipes, they were taking rock dollars.
- 20:48SPEAKER_00: Well, that was later on.
- 20:48SPEAKER_00: Later on.
- 20:50SPEAKER_01: Yeah, original Wise and Flu was also just a dining hall, like buffet style.
- 20:55SPEAKER_00: Old Rockies versus new Rockies.
- 20:57SPEAKER_00: Old Rockies.
- 20:57SPEAKER_00: Old Rockies.
- 20:58SPEAKER_00: CyberFresh?
- 20:59unknown: Yeah.
- 21:00SPEAKER_00: People don't know how good Cyberfresh is.
- 21:02SPEAKER_01: CyberFresh was so good.
- 21:04SPEAKER_00: I I can if they had a catering service that was CyberFresh catering.
- 21:09SPEAKER_01: I'm booking.
- 21:10SPEAKER_00: I'm booking it and I'm booking it tomorrow.
- 21:13SPEAKER_00: Would you rather have an 8 a.m.
- 21:15SPEAKER_00: Monday, Wednesday, Friday or a three-hour Friday night class?
- 21:19SPEAKER_01: I always had a 8 a.m.
- 21:21SPEAKER_01: Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
- 21:22SPEAKER_01: It was a dance class.
- 21:23SPEAKER_00: Yeah, 8 a.m.
- 21:24SPEAKER_00: is fine.
- 21:25SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 21:26SPEAKER_00: Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
- 21:27SPEAKER_01: A night class on a Friday night is like that's when you're going out with your friends.
- 21:30SPEAKER_00: Yeah, a Friday night, I would say no.
- 21:33SPEAKER_00: I did a we I think you did it too.
- 21:35SPEAKER_00: Wednesday night class, it was political film.
- 21:37SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 21:38SPEAKER_01: I don't mind a night class, but not on a Friday night, no.
- 21:40SPEAKER_00: And you would do you would watch a movie and then the next or like later, I forget how they how it was facilitated, but you would watch the movie and there was always groups that were picked to like do a presentation on the movie.
- 21:54SPEAKER_00: It's a fun class, actually.
- 21:56SPEAKER_01: I didn't mind it.
- 21:57SPEAKER_00: We did The Ides of March.
- 22:00SPEAKER_01: No, I don't know.
- 22:01SPEAKER_00: With Ryan Gosling and um George Clooney.
- 22:06SPEAKER_01: Couldn't tell you.
- 22:08SPEAKER_00: Good movie.
- 22:10SPEAKER_00: Would you rather have an unlimited meal plan but terrible food or amazing food but only 10 meals a week?
- 22:18SPEAKER_01: I feel like I would do the 10 meals a week.
- 22:20SPEAKER_01: That's not a lot of food.
- 22:21SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 22:22SPEAKER_00: Be fast.
- 22:24SPEAKER_01: The only thing about the unlimited swipes when you're in college is like if your friends were in town, yeah.
- 22:29SPEAKER_01: Or you had people up, or someone's like, oh, I don't have I don't have the plan, I can't come.
- 22:33SPEAKER_01: I'll swipe you.
- 22:33SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I got some swipes.
- 22:35SPEAKER_00: I got some ship.
- 22:35SPEAKER_00: I got unlimited swipes.
- 22:37SPEAKER_00: Or one friend Servone, he would always come to boozle brunch with us on Saturday or Sunday morning, and he would always cop a swipe from somebody.
- 22:45SPEAKER_00: Like who's got the most swipes?
- 22:47SPEAKER_00: Give me a swipe.
- 22:48SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 22:49SPEAKER_00: You have to give a 30-minute public speaking final completely hungover or write a 15-page essay.
- 22:56SPEAKER_01: I think I'd pick the public speaking hungover.
- 22:58SPEAKER_00: I might be better at doing a presentation hungover than certainly not writing an essay, 15 pages worth.
- 23:05SPEAKER_01: I hate writing, I hate writing um essays for school.
- 23:09SPEAKER_01: Like I don't mind writing stories and stuff like that now.
- 23:12SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the issue back then, I felt, and it might just be school in general.
- 23:16SPEAKER_00: You always felt like you had to write too big of sentences that dragged on to make it, you know, within a certain amount of words.
- 23:25SPEAKER_01: If I ever went back and read through any of my papers, I'd be like, I was passing.
- 23:31SPEAKER_01: Is this person is this person smart?
- 23:34SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
- 23:35SPEAKER_01: Like I couldn't tell you one paper I wrote that would have made any sort of sense.
- 23:38SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 23:39SPEAKER_00: I remember I wrote a paper for something along the line, it was like a communications class, and it was the final paper.
- 23:46SPEAKER_00: And a teacher asked me to like come visit with her, and she was saying that like I had a lot of thought-provoking things.
- 23:54SPEAKER_00: I don't remember what the essay was about.
- 23:55SPEAKER_00: She's like, you really have a should have a career in like doing this.
- 23:58SPEAKER_00: And I'm going a senior year, and I'm like, too late.
- 24:02SPEAKER_00: I'm trying to get out of school next year.
- 24:04SPEAKER_00: I really am.
- 24:05SPEAKER_01: Too late with my life planned out.
- 24:06SPEAKER_00: Would you rather be completely broke but have an amazing social life, or have plenty of money but never have time to go out?
- 24:14SPEAKER_00: Broke with a social life.
- 24:15SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 24:16SPEAKER_00: Well, college, I had my ups and downs on this, but that's why I had a summer job.
- 24:23SPEAKER_00: Or for winter break, I would have a job that I would work back at home for a month or whatever, so that when I'm at school, I don't have to overwork outside of class.
- 24:33SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 24:34SPEAKER_00: Like I worked during school, I would work, you know, like two shifts at the outlets during school, like college time frame, you know, post semesters.
- 24:45SPEAKER_00: And I worked at a golf club one time, just a few days, just that just so I had enough to be able to socialize after.
- 24:53SPEAKER_00: But I'm not working 40 hours a week.
- 24:55SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 24:55SPEAKER_00: Just so I can have, just so I can make what$500 in a paycheck, because you're not making crazy money work when you're at college, unless you're like bartending a server.
- 25:06SPEAKER_01: My parents were very generous, and they were like, if you are either involved in a sport or an activity that takes up your time in college, you don't have to get a job.
- 25:13SPEAKER_01: So I always had like a summer job or a break job when I went home.
- 25:16SPEAKER_01: But when I was at school, I really didn't have time because I double majored.
- 25:20SPEAKER_01: I did like a lot of credits each semester so I could graduate on time.
- 25:24SPEAKER_01: And then because of dance, all the rehearsals were at night.
- 25:27SPEAKER_01: Like I would go to class and then I'd have like two or three rehearsals at night, and then we had Greek life stuff going on.
- 25:33SPEAKER_01: So I luckily didn't have to get a job in college.
- 25:36SPEAKER_01: And I could see that being overwhelming or like taking away a little bit from your carefreeness of college, but I understand because that's just some people they have to get a job, or their parents are like, you have to get a job, or they're supporting themselves.
- 25:50SPEAKER_01: So, I mean, for me, I enjoyed my social time, I think, way too much.
- 25:56SPEAKER_01: But um, if I had to choose, I would rather be broke and just be with my friends, like having a good time.
- 26:00SPEAKER_00: There was one semester in particular.
- 26:02SPEAKER_00: I think I worked at Nike or Adidas, and I was working as a desk attendant at the dorm.
- 26:09SPEAKER_00: So it's definitely the year, my sophomore year, because I was working as the desk attendant at the dorm that I lived in, and I was a gallery guard for the art gallery for like two different shifts.
- 26:21SPEAKER_00: But those shifts, as a desk attendant, as an art gallery, quote unquote guard, you would just I would do all my homework.
- 26:28SPEAKER_01: I was gonna say it was kind of like a study hour, like you could like be working and doing your.
- 26:32SPEAKER_00: I think I did my desk attendant job.
- 26:34SPEAKER_00: It was every Sunday night into Monday.
- 26:37SPEAKER_00: I'm talking like 1 a.m.
- 26:40SPEAKER_00: to 5 a.m.
- 26:41SPEAKER_00: And I would just get everything I needed to get done for the week.
- 26:44SPEAKER_00: I would need to be have an Adderall or something to stay awake.
- 26:47SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 26:47SPEAKER_00: Well, my Sundays were always just more of a, I'm gonna relax and sleep a little bit.
- 26:52SPEAKER_00: I just started my day early.
- 26:54SPEAKER_00: Would you rather lose your phone for two weeks or have your parents see every photo in your phone from college?
- 27:02SPEAKER_00: We doubt I felt you posted a lot of stuff on social media that I don't think you had anything to hide.
- 27:09SPEAKER_01: I I had nothing to hide.
- 27:11SPEAKER_01: I was just having the time of my life, and I didn't care.
- 27:13SPEAKER_01: I don't, I didn't, I would not care.
- 27:15SPEAKER_01: Like if my parents saw my phone, I didn't have anything bad in my phone.
- 27:18SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 27:18SPEAKER_01: Pictures-wise.
- 27:19SPEAKER_01: Like maybe pictures where it's like, wow.
- 27:21SPEAKER_00: She was really getting after it that night.
- 27:23SPEAKER_01: She really had a lot to drink when she was doing something crazy.
- 27:25SPEAKER_00: Is she throwing Oreos from that closet right now?
- 27:28SPEAKER_01: But I also like I lost my phone so much in college.
- 27:31SPEAKER_01: Like there was times where like I would leave it in people's cars, but at the time we were in school, like having your phone was important, but it wasn't like the end all be all.
- 27:39SPEAKER_01: Like nowadays, my life is on my phone, my work is on my phone.
- 27:42SPEAKER_01: I need it with me.
- 27:43SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 27:44SPEAKER_01: When I was in college, I'd be like, Well, so I don't know where it's at.
- 27:47SPEAKER_01: I'll find it, I'll find it this week.
- 27:49SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 27:50SPEAKER_00: Would you rather have free coffee for all four years or late or free late night food for all four years?
- 27:56SPEAKER_01: Oh, I didn't get into coffee until like after college.
- 28:00SPEAKER_01: Like I did, I did get into coffee a little bit in college.
- 28:05SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it wasn't until I feel like my senior year that I late night bites.
- 28:09SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 28:09SPEAKER_00: I'm thinking of Kefaro's pizza late night.
- 28:12SPEAKER_00: I'm thinking of going, we're on um Keister Road, and you go to the Keister apartments, and Babes used to be stationed there.
- 28:20SPEAKER_00: The Fat Beach sandwich.
- 28:22SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
- 28:23SPEAKER_01: I didn't know what that was.
- 28:24SPEAKER_00: A chicken parm sandwich with mozzarella sticks on it.
- 28:27SPEAKER_00: And it maybe had more, but it was outstanding late night bite.
- 28:30SPEAKER_00: Like anytime we left Data's night or left someone's house, I was going to Babe's before I was finishing my night.
- 28:36SPEAKER_01: I used to beg outside of Babes for people to buy me a thing of fries.
- 28:39SPEAKER_01: I would just like wait there until someone would buy me some.
- 28:44SPEAKER_00: Would you rather go to a school with amazing parties but terrible sports or amazing sports, but a terrible party scene?
- 28:51SPEAKER_01: I'm not a sports goer, so I'm going for the parties.
- 28:54SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 28:54SPEAKER_00: We we went to a division two school.
- 28:57SPEAKER_00: Our sports weren't terrible.
- 28:58SPEAKER_01: No.
- 28:59SPEAKER_00: I go to more sport event sporting events at our university we graduated from now than I did in college.
- 29:06SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 29:07SPEAKER_00: Never knew how good they were.
- 29:09SPEAKER_01: Also, like the school didn't like it's not like when you go to Ohio State or you go somewhere that like that's the end all be all.
- 29:15SPEAKER_01: Like going to those games is like the coolest thing.
- 29:18SPEAKER_01: I feel like everybody's, you know, tailgating.
- 29:21SPEAKER_01: There isn't that where we went to school.
- 29:23SPEAKER_00: And you're not gonna, unless you're really into the actual team itself, if you go to that school that's a major university that has, you know, 100,000 seat stadium to go watch a football game or go to a basketball game, whatever.
- 29:37SPEAKER_00: I don't, yes, it makes the night even better if they win the game.
- 29:42SPEAKER_00: Win or lose, you're still gonna boo.
- 29:43SPEAKER_00: That was definitely a phrase.
- 29:44SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 29:45SPEAKER_02: That's definitely a phrase.
- 29:48SPEAKER_00: I think we had that phrase when we did intramural sports.
- 29:52SPEAKER_00: Probably.
- 29:52SPEAKER_00: Greek week.
- 29:54SPEAKER_00: Would you rather never go to another frat party or only be allowed to go to frat parties?
- 29:59SPEAKER_01: Now we grew up, we like went to we were both in Greek life.
- 30:03SPEAKER_01: So I would say like frat parties were always fun.
- 30:05SPEAKER_01: I always had a good idea.
- 30:06SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they were fun.
- 30:07SPEAKER_00: I we didn't have like a fraternity row.
- 30:09SPEAKER_00: No.
- 30:10SPEAKER_00: I think going to a university that had it, I would get sick of going to oh yeah.
- 30:16SPEAKER_00: Because even when we would have anything, the only parties we ever had, I think we would maybe do it once not once a month, but if we had it, it would be one of the nights in the weekend.
- 30:27SPEAKER_00: We would have a mixer.
- 30:29SPEAKER_00: But then most of the time too, I would even if I was having something or if our fraternity was doing something, I'm going to Ginger Hill after.
- 30:36SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 30:36SPEAKER_01: I feel like you're right.
- 30:38SPEAKER_01: Mostly at Slippery Rock, it's like all of them are just house parties because there's no like fraternity house.
- 30:43SPEAKER_01: So I guess I would go with that option.
- 30:45SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 30:45SPEAKER_01: It was just a mix of people.
- 30:47SPEAKER_01: Everybody was having a good time.
- 30:48SPEAKER_00: You would bounce around to different places.
- 30:50SPEAKER_00: I preferred not to host a party because I just like I didn't want to be set to be like, I have to be here all night.
- 30:55SPEAKER_01: And you have to clean up.
- 30:56SPEAKER_00: Yeah, cleaning up was the worst.
- 30:58SPEAKER_00: Last one.
- 30:59SPEAKER_00: Would you rather have your parents show up unexpectedly at a party or run into your professor while you're absolutely hammered at a bar?
- 31:07SPEAKER_01: I think I would rather run into my professor.
- 31:11SPEAKER_01: Our one professor used to always be at the bar.
- 31:13SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 31:13SPEAKER_00: R I R I P T C.
- 31:15SPEAKER_00: TC.
- 31:16SPEAKER_01: He was always there.
- 31:17SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and I it's different college to like high school.
- 31:22SPEAKER_00: Not saying you would see a um, you wouldn't go to a bar when you're in high school.
- 31:27SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 31:27SPEAKER_00: But going home and then you see a teacher out, it's kind of cool to see him now.
- 31:32SPEAKER_00: It is cool.
- 31:33SPEAKER_00: That's like a full circle moment.
- 31:34SPEAKER_00: You still gotta keep your distance.
- 31:36SPEAKER_00: Keep your distance from there.
- 31:37SPEAKER_00: There is one prof uh I don't go to this, I didn't go to the school district where we live at now.
- 31:43SPEAKER_00: Our neighbor's really good friends with the teacher that's at the school district that we live in.
- 31:49SPEAKER_00: And anytime that I end up meeting up with them for you know drinks, pizza, whatever it may be, he's just the bell of the ball of students that pass by.
- 31:58SPEAKER_00: Oh, they still and he loves it.
- 31:59SPEAKER_00: He eats that up.
- 32:01SPEAKER_00: I'm not gonna shout out his name.
- 32:03SPEAKER_01: In case he in case he listens.
- 32:05SPEAKER_01: In case he listens.
- 32:06SPEAKER_00: They'll know it's him.
- 32:07SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 32:07SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 32:08SPEAKER_00: Next segment brought to you by Jag Off Clothing.

- 32:23SPEAKER_00: All right, this segment is freshman, senior, or super senior.
- 32:27SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna read a scenario and we will deliberate if this was a freshman, senior, super senior.
- 32:33SPEAKER_00: Got it.
- 32:34SPEAKER_00: Number one shows up to an 8 a.m.
- 32:36SPEAKER_00: class 15 minutes early with a notebook and three different colored pens.
- 32:41SPEAKER_00: Freshman.
- 32:42SPEAKER_00: Freshman, freshman.
- 32:44SPEAKER_00: Like, I do remember really being meticulous on the things that I wanted when I was starting school.
- 32:51SPEAKER_01: Yeah, because you don't know what to expect.
- 32:53SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that quickly faded about one month into being a freshman at school.
- 32:58SPEAKER_00: Like, oh, I don't have to really go this in depth on things.
- 33:03SPEAKER_00: It's great to have a notebook, but you don't need to show up that early.
- 33:08SPEAKER_00: You could just show up on time.
- 33:10SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 33:10SPEAKER_01: A lot of other times rolling at eight.
- 33:12SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 33:13SPEAKER_00: It's not as stressful.
- 33:14SPEAKER_00: I feel like high schools at some points felt more stressful than what college courses were.
- 33:19SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 33:19SPEAKER_00: Especially freshman year.
- 33:20SPEAKER_00: Freshman year courses were.
- 33:22SPEAKER_01: I felt like my high school very much prepared me that I thought college was a breeze.
- 33:26SPEAKER_01: But also half of my college experience was dance.
- 33:30SPEAKER_01: So that is like something that comes natural to me.
- 33:32SPEAKER_00: But there was a course I took senior year.
- 33:35SPEAKER_00: It was American music.
- 33:37SPEAKER_00: And the whole first test was just this is what a half note is.
- 33:41SPEAKER_00: This is what a quarter note is.
- 33:43SPEAKER_00: And I I went to the first class.
- 33:46SPEAKER_00: I had a friend that was in the class with me, and I just was like, let me know if there's a test because I'll show up.
- 33:52SPEAKER_01: I know all the tests very musically inclined.
- 33:56SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 33:56SPEAKER_00: Like this is this is things I learned in grade school, fifth grade, middle like music class.
- 34:01SPEAKER_00: Not even, and we're I'm taking it as a senior.
- 34:05SPEAKER_00: Um, number two, go to class in the clothes they wore to the bar the night before.
- 34:11SPEAKER_00: That has I mean, that can be a senior super senior, well, super senior either or.
- 34:16SPEAKER_00: I would yeah, I would vote senior though.
- 34:19SPEAKER_00: Did you do any of that?
- 34:20SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I did.
- 34:22SPEAKER_01: I definitely did.
- 34:23SPEAKER_00: I don't think I ever wore the same clothes.
- 34:25SPEAKER_00: That was because back then I would wear not like I wouldn't be dressing up to go out, but to go to class, I would always just be in sweats or a hoodie.
- 34:36SPEAKER_00: Hoodie and sweats was mainly for classes, unless I had a presentation.
- 34:40SPEAKER_01: I have a minor exp um embarrassing story about wearing my clothes from the night before on accident.
- 34:46SPEAKER_01: But like I we went out for a mixer, and for some reason at the mixer, I must have fallen on a hill or something.
- 34:51SPEAKER_01: So like my legs were dirty.
- 34:53SPEAKER_01: And what I used to do, because I would have to get up for dance class early in the morning, I would like change into my dance clothes, and then I would put my sweatpants over because it was cold, like wintertime probably.
- 35:05SPEAKER_01: And one night I must have thought that I changed my outfit and I put my like fresh sweatpants and my sweatshirt on to go to bed.
- 35:11SPEAKER_01: I get up, my alarm rings, I go to class, and then I get to the class and I'm warming up because you had to get there early for dance to warm up.
- 35:19SPEAKER_01: And then the teacher's like, Okay, sweats off, like class is gonna start, and I take off my sweatshirt and my pants, and it's just the outfit from the night before, which was like I had like dirt all over my legs, the shirt had drink spilled on it, and I was just like, All right, I'm gonna take my whole modern class in this outfit.
- 35:39SPEAKER_01: And everybody was just looking at me, and I'm like, Well, I'm here.
- 35:42SPEAKER_00: So your nickname in college was Cass Money B.
- 35:45SPEAKER_00: Cast Money B.
- 35:46SPEAKER_00: Cass Money, uh, and you proved it right there.
- 35:49SPEAKER_00: Okay, number three, bring their entire family to move in and move out day.
- 35:54SPEAKER_00: Freshman.
- 35:55SPEAKER_00: Freshman.
- 35:56SPEAKER_00: Like I was a hundred percent a culprit, but I wasn't, in a sense, of my entire family.
- 36:02SPEAKER_00: Like my both my parents came up.
- 36:03SPEAKER_00: Yeah, both.
- 36:04SPEAKER_00: And they want to be there and they take you to get your books and maybe you get something.
- 36:09SPEAKER_00: Yeah, there goes my baby.
- 36:10SPEAKER_00: Well, funny, actually, so then and then move out.
- 36:13SPEAKER_00: I remember freshman year.
- 36:15SPEAKER_00: They it's like my uncle came up too, and we went to dinner like uh lunch after on the way back, and like Goob and uh Goob's mom went and joined us as well.
- 36:25SPEAKER_00: A lot of people would have multiple family members come in, and like they're now I see it because for WoW weekend at Slippery Rock, there's people that sometimes bring small U-Hauls, and it is my cousin brought a small U-Haul for move-in day.
- 36:40SPEAKER_00: They put particularly like they let people know that you really don't need to be bringing all that much, but there was multiple U-Hauls that came through WoW weekend.
- 36:48SPEAKER_01: We had like all of our cars filled, and like me and Kristen had like matching everything, yeah.
- 36:55SPEAKER_01: Like we very much coordinated everything that we brought in, and I do remember, I think one of my sisters came to my freshman move in, but my other sister was like off living in Chicago.
- 37:05SPEAKER_00: I don't know if like one of my sisters came for the last day or not.
- 37:09SPEAKER_01: They were having kids though when you were in college, yeah.
- 37:12SPEAKER_00: I don't know if she was there for move-in day.
- 37:14SPEAKER_00: I think she was potentially there for move out as well.
- 37:17SPEAKER_00: But my I'm not gonna out his name or her name, but my roommate, freshman year, obviously that he's moving in with his parents.
- 37:25SPEAKER_00: He had a girlfriend that was a senior at high school where we went to.
- 37:29SPEAKER_00: His parents had left.
- 37:30SPEAKER_00: My parents are leaving, and they I don't think my parents were leaving, leaving yet.
- 37:38SPEAKER_00: We were on our way to go get something at like the bookstore or we're going to get lunch somewhere before they departed.
- 37:44SPEAKER_00: Like I was doing my last little farewell for them.
- 37:48SPEAKER_00: Left something back in the room.
- 37:49SPEAKER_00: What it was, I don't know.
- 37:51SPEAKER_00: But my parents, we walked into the dorm room and they're getting it on.
- 37:56SPEAKER_00: My roommate and his girlfriend were like, oh yeah, this is college.
- 38:00SPEAKER_00: Happy college.
- 38:02SPEAKER_00: Not even like they hadn't even left yet.
- 38:04SPEAKER_00: Well, the main thing when it comes to the move-in, move out after freshman year.
- 38:08SPEAKER_00: I don't know if my parents came and helped me because I was back in the dorms my sophomore year, but I also moved back early.
- 38:14SPEAKER_00: I lived with someone else for about two weeks before I was able to move into the dorms because I was working at an outlet job.
- 38:20SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 38:20SPEAKER_00: So I already had a lot of my stuff up there.
- 38:23SPEAKER_00: I just had to move it over to the dorm, but they might have come up.
- 38:27SPEAKER_00: But the house they might have assisted, but leaving, I don't know.
- 38:31SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
- 38:32SPEAKER_00: I feel like they helped for a lot of it.
- 38:34SPEAKER_01: I think my parents came up, both parents for my first and second year, and then like when I was living in my own thing, I think my mom came up.
- 38:41SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 38:41SPEAKER_01: But like my dad was like, no, yeah, you're good.
- 38:45SPEAKER_00: Parents leave and they're doing shots 11 minutes later.
- 38:49SPEAKER_00: Who's doing shots?
- 38:50SPEAKER_00: The if you're a freshman, senior, or super senior.
- 38:53SPEAKER_01: Oh, I would say senior, super senior.
- 38:55SPEAKER_00: Yeah, for sure.
- 38:57SPEAKER_01: Freshman, you're not old enough, so you can't be doing that in the dorms.
- 39:00SPEAKER_00: You can't do it in the dorms.
- 39:02SPEAKER_00: Can't be doing that.
- 39:02SPEAKER_00: Wait a minute.
- 39:03SPEAKER_00: Well, I get the finger.
- 39:04SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 39:05SPEAKER_01: I do remember not being sad though, like when my parents dropped us off.
- 39:09SPEAKER_01: Like me and Kristen were like You're excited, freshman year.
- 39:12SPEAKER_00: It's your first experience away from home.
- 39:13SPEAKER_00: You're getting you know some people, you're meeting new people.
- 39:16SPEAKER_00: It's a very exciting time to start a new chapter.
- 39:22SPEAKER_00: Hasn't purchased a textbook in two years.
- 39:25SPEAKER_01: Super senior or senior year.
- 39:26SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 39:27SPEAKER_00: Either.
- 39:28SPEAKER_00: Freshman year, I bought every single book.
- 39:30SPEAKER_00: One course in particular, American National Government.
- 39:33SPEAKER_00: It was a course that you didn't have to um like the syllabus was the book.
- 39:38SPEAKER_00: So I didn't have to this in the syllabus, attendance wasn't required.
- 39:42SPEAKER_00: So I just read the book and came in for the dates that it was listed for tests, and I passed.
- 39:49SPEAKER_00: But yeah, when it came to having a book, you didn't really need it.
- 39:53SPEAKER_00: Or you knew someone that did have it.
- 39:55SPEAKER_00: That have it and they would give it to your books weren't cheap.
- 39:58SPEAKER_00: That was like the most expensive thing that was going on.
- 40:01SPEAKER_00: Has a lanyard with their student ID and dorm key around their neck.
- 40:05SPEAKER_01: Freshman.
- 40:06SPEAKER_01: I also had that though all the time, so I didn't lose my stuff.
- 40:09SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 40:09SPEAKER_01: I'd have it so like hanging on my neck so I didn't lose it.
- 40:12SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 40:13SPEAKER_00: Lanyard.
- 40:15SPEAKER_01: Got your lanyard, you got your it was like a Vera Bradley for the girls.
- 40:18SPEAKER_00: It was like a cute little college, like whatever university you're at.
- 40:24SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 40:26SPEAKER_00: Goes home every single weekend.
- 40:29SPEAKER_01: I am no clue because I never went home barely.
- 40:32SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 40:32SPEAKER_01: Like freshmen, though, it would it's usually freshmen that go home the most.
- 40:35SPEAKER_01: But my senior year is when I went home the most because I knew we were moving to Florida.
- 40:39SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think it's just based on situation.
- 40:40SPEAKER_00: Freshman year, some places you can't even have a vehicle to go home.
- 40:43SPEAKER_00: And if you're far enough away, who's gonna come and get you and bring you back?
- 40:48SPEAKER_00: I did go home like once or twice my freshman year.
- 40:51SPEAKER_00: And then yeah, same thing.
- 40:52SPEAKER_00: Like whenever we were knew we were gonna be in Florida rather than Pennsylvania and Ohio, I went home a little bit more.
- 40:59SPEAKER_00: Yeah, to visit.
- 41:01SPEAKER_00: Loves to go out on a Tuesday.
- 41:04SPEAKER_00: Senior?
- 41:05SPEAKER_00: Senior.
- 41:06SPEAKER_00: I'm freshman.
- 41:06SPEAKER_00: I feel like uh Wednesdays.
- 41:09SPEAKER_00: It's like, yeah, I'll be there.
- 41:10SPEAKER_01: Anytime, honestly.
- 41:11SPEAKER_01: It could be it could be any of them.
- 41:13SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 41:14SPEAKER_00: Owns exactly one plate, one fork, and six shot classes.
- 41:20SPEAKER_01: Super senior senior.
- 41:22SPEAKER_00: We would have very minimal silver silverware.
- 41:27SPEAKER_00: But then my senior year.
- 41:30SPEAKER_00: Didn't it come with stuff at Stonecrust?
- 41:33SPEAKER_00: No, I don't think so.
- 41:34SPEAKER_01: I thought it came with dishes.
- 41:36SPEAKER_01: Like I don't remember buying those.
- 41:37SPEAKER_00: But I know that no, it definitely didn't because our cups that we had on Wednesdays, which was Wednesday wing night at the uh Ginger Hill, but it was two dollar Molsons, it always came with the mugs.
- 41:51SPEAKER_00: So however many molsons you had, you had a mug to come home with.
- 41:54SPEAKER_00: And our whole cabinet of cups was just moles and mugs.
- 41:57SPEAKER_01: Molson mugs.
- 41:59SPEAKER_00: Pre-games, the noon football game at 8 a.m.
- 42:02SPEAKER_00: I think that could be everybody.
- 42:04SPEAKER_01: I'd say everybody.
- 42:05SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 42:05SPEAKER_00: If if you're into the sports.
- 42:06SPEAKER_00: Yeah, if you're into telgating.
- 42:08SPEAKER_00: Like I like to telgate before a Steeler game.
- 42:10SPEAKER_00: Sports.
- 42:12SPEAKER_00: Last one has a full couch sitting on their front porch.
- 42:17SPEAKER_01: Um senior or super senior for sure.
- 42:20SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that was um didn't you have that?
- 42:23SPEAKER_01: Or didn't you guys take someone's couch that was on their front porch?
- 42:26SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 42:26SPEAKER_00: Something like that.
- 42:27SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it was my and they took a picture of it, and it was people that we knew.
- 42:31unknown: Yeah.
- 42:32SPEAKER_00: So we're going around, you know, you're not dumpster diving, but we were just like, oh, like driving around for dumpster diving.
- 42:37SPEAKER_00: No, but we weren't going to pick up things.
- 42:39SPEAKER_00: We were going to somebody's place to pick up something that they were giving away.
- 42:44SPEAKER_00: And while picking that up, there was a couch sitting outside an apartment, but it wasn't like on the porch, it was uh like right next to the parking lot.
- 42:54SPEAKER_00: And yeah, we swooped it up.
- 42:59SPEAKER_00: Whoops.
- 43:00SPEAKER_00: It was a good couch.
- 43:01SPEAKER_00: All right, this is VIP table.
- 43:04SPEAKER_00: These are things in college that made you feel rich.
- 43:08SPEAKER_00: You want me to go first?
- 43:09SPEAKER_02: Sure.
- 43:10SPEAKER_00: My first pick is whether it's your parents or your roommate's parents or a friend's parents, they are in town to celebrate a birthday and they take you out to dinner, and it just feels like you can get whatever.
- 43:25SPEAKER_01: And they're like, order whatever you want.
- 43:28SPEAKER_01: It's on us.
- 43:28SPEAKER_00: It's on us.
- 43:29SPEAKER_00: Oh my god, I'm gonna feast.
- 43:31SPEAKER_00: You're going to a Texas Roadhouse, you're going to whatever local spot, and I'm getting something that I normally wouldn't get if I was by myself.
- 43:39SPEAKER_00: I'm I'm gonna splurge.
- 43:41SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 43:41SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 43:43SPEAKER_01: 100%.
- 43:44SPEAKER_01: That's a perfect one.
- 43:45SPEAKER_01: It actually was on my list.
- 43:46SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna follow that up with um another parent's one.
- 43:50SPEAKER_01: When your parents come into town and then they're like, hey, let's to go to the store and pick up whatever you need.
- 43:55SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 43:55SPEAKER_01: You just like it's like the ultimate grocery haul.
- 43:58SPEAKER_01: You're getting produce.
- 44:00SPEAKER_01: Not just getting ramen noodles, you're getting like stuff you probably actually need.
- 44:03SPEAKER_01: Yep.
- 44:03SPEAKER_01: They're buying you the dishwasher, detergent, the extra stuff that you don't really want to spend your money on.
- 44:08SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 44:09SPEAKER_00: And there you're just going ham on it.
- 44:11SPEAKER_00: Stocked up.
- 44:12SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 44:12SPEAKER_00: That was on that's actually would have been my next pick.
- 44:15SPEAKER_00: So good pick.
- 44:16SPEAKER_00: That was indecisive between those two.
- 44:19SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 44:20SPEAKER_01: And then my second pick is gonna be, and this really was only my freshman and sophomore year.
- 44:24SPEAKER_01: We kind of talked about this.
- 44:26SPEAKER_01: When the time comes and you can sell your textbooks back and then you get cash for it.
- 44:30SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 44:31SPEAKER_01: And you just hand it a lot of like to you, it's a lot of money.
- 44:34SPEAKER_01: It's like 40 bucks.
- 44:35SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 44:36SPEAKER_00: Meanwhile, you bought it for like$300.
- 44:39SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 44:39SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 44:40SPEAKER_00: Um, okay, good pick.
- 44:43SPEAKER_00: That was also on the list book return.
- 44:46SPEAKER_00: Um, this one isn't necessarily like cash related, okay, but it made me feel great.
- 44:53SPEAKER_00: Great.
- 44:54SPEAKER_00: It's uh getting a parking spot that's a close parking spot to whether the class that you're going to or if you're at the dorms and you have a vehicle and you get the one of the parking spots that's directly in front of the dorm.
- 45:07SPEAKER_00: Yes, I felt on top of the world.
- 45:10SPEAKER_01: Well, yeah, because you had to like scour for those spots, like loop around to try to get a good spot like that.
- 45:15SPEAKER_01: But you didn't want to leave.
- 45:16SPEAKER_00: And yeah, you're like, I don't want to give up my spot.
- 45:19SPEAKER_00: I might as well have just walked because I'm walking as many steps as I would if I came from my apartment or my house or my dorm.
- 45:25SPEAKER_00: Like, what are we doing here?
- 45:26SPEAKER_00: What are we doing?
- 45:27SPEAKER_00: But no, coming back, like expect when the weekend would hit and you lived in the dorms and you had your car, always those front spots were available.
- 45:36SPEAKER_00: And then you didn't want to move your car at that point.
- 45:38SPEAKER_00: Like, that's got to stay there for weeks.
- 45:40SPEAKER_00: Like, I'm sorry, someone else has to drive.
- 45:41SPEAKER_01: Yep.
- 45:42SPEAKER_00: I have a good spot.
- 45:44SPEAKER_00: And my next pick is um this whenever you are enjoying an adult beverage, when you're drinking something that's not Natty Light or Crown Roosevelt or Admiral Nelson, like, and you're getting like the higher kind beer, wine, like you're not drinking magic.
- 46:10SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you're not just like if I had any upper nets, oh my gosh.
- 46:16SPEAKER_00: Like, I don't know.
- 46:16SPEAKER_00: For listen, we were in the era, era when four loco came out, and it was at this the top of the top of if you had one goodbye for the night.
- 46:28SPEAKER_00: Like you were feeling some type of way.
- 46:32SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
- 46:32SPEAKER_01: Me and me and Kristen like had my sister buy us them when we were in the dorms and we stored them, and then we because remember they went out of stock.
- 46:40SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 46:40SPEAKER_01: And then we sold them for like 10 bucks a loco.
- 46:43SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 46:44SPEAKER_00: That's we were hustling in the dorm.
- 46:46SPEAKER_00: Oh my god.
- 46:47SPEAKER_00: Hey, no alcohol in the dorms.
- 46:49SPEAKER_01: I know.
- 46:49SPEAKER_01: We never got in trouble.
- 46:51SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 46:51SPEAKER_00: Good pick.
- 46:52SPEAKER_01: You're up to these are my last two, correct?
- 46:56SPEAKER_01: Yep.
- 46:56SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 46:57SPEAKER_01: My next one would be when your meal plan resets, or at Slippery Rock, there was rock dollars that resets for the semester.
- 47:05SPEAKER_01: So, like that first week back, you're just rolling in the swipes, rolling in the dough, you're hitting up Starbucks, you're gonna get the good Chinese.
- 47:14SPEAKER_01: That would that would be number three.
- 47:15SPEAKER_01: And then my last pick is very niche.
- 47:18SPEAKER_01: But if your car was the car that was being utilized for DD drives, and you could get unlimited rides, and whoever you're with, you're like, no, we're not paying the dollar.
- 47:28SPEAKER_01: You're just getting in.
- 47:29SPEAKER_01: Everybody get get in.
- 47:31SPEAKER_01: That would be my last pick.
- 47:33SPEAKER_01: That would be my last pick.
- 47:35SPEAKER_00: It's a good pick.
- 47:37SPEAKER_00: Oh gosh.
- 47:39SPEAKER_00: I don't know what to do with my last pick.
- 47:41SPEAKER_00: I got a lot of different options.
- 47:44SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 47:47SPEAKER_00: This, I mean, this is just the cash-related.
- 47:50SPEAKER_00: Um, whether you, if you went home, someone's visiting you, but like grandma, Pat, or your parents, when they like head out or you head out from stopping and visiting them, just slide you just you know a$20 bill.
- 48:05SPEAKER_00: Yeah, this is gonna come a long way for this weekend alone.
- 48:09SPEAKER_00: Like, I'm good to go.
- 48:10SPEAKER_01: $20 in a weekend in college is like a hundred dollars.
- 48:13SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like is even like prices on like again, I would be like that.
- 48:23SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's your drink for all weekend.
- 48:25SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you're set.
- 48:26SPEAKER_00: You are absolutely set.
- 48:28SPEAKER_00: That is a good pick.
- 48:29SPEAKER_00: I I didn't really have much more on honorable, honorable mentions.
- 48:33SPEAKER_00: I did have one, like this is another niche in terms of if we went far enough to go to a Chipotle, and then you would add guac to the order.
- 48:44SPEAKER_00: Like I felt a little bit richer if I did that.
- 48:47SPEAKER_01: Or your bougie with the guac.
- 48:49SPEAKER_00: I had one, I think you had one as well, but it's just owning a MacBook instead of just a normal PC.
- 48:55SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
- 48:55SPEAKER_01: MacBooks were like the thing.
- 48:57SPEAKER_00: I feel like if you had one of those, mm-hmm.
- 48:59SPEAKER_00: Uh you kind of said it with like a refresh of meal swipes, but giving friends meal swipes, like just I got you on this one.
- 49:07SPEAKER_01: I got your back.
- 49:08SPEAKER_00: Similar to buying like high, like your parents coming in, coming in and you're getting like a month's worth of groceries, and you're saying like the essential items, but getting good toilet paper.
