- 0:10SPEAKER_02: We did record two really fabulous episodes today.
- 0:14SPEAKER_02: And the episode that is supposed to come out when this episode is coming out had some severe sound issues.
- 0:20SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 0:20SPEAKER_00: We recorded for an hour and a half with a guest.
- 0:23SPEAKER_00: There still could be some chance for salvation of that recording.
- 0:28SPEAKER_00: I pray to the Lord.
- 0:30SPEAKER_00: Cassie's microphone was off the entire time.
- 0:33SPEAKER_00: So we figured, hey, let's just do a quick episode with the two of us here in the basement to just give like a quick hello to everybody.

- 1:26SPEAKER_02: We also are recovering from Halloween.
- 1:29SPEAKER_02: Satterween.
- 1:30SPEAKER_02: Is that what they called it?
- 1:32SPEAKER_00: I didn't hear one single person call it Saturween.
- 1:34SPEAKER_02: I feel like multiple people called it Saturween.
- 1:37SPEAKER_02: Maybe I'm making that up.
- 1:38SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I don't know.
- 1:39SPEAKER_01: No, there was like a sound on TikTok TikTok and it was like, oh, it's Halloween and it's a Saturday Saturday.
- 1:45SPEAKER_01: That's what we call Saturdaween.
- 1:50SPEAKER_00: It didn't follow into my algorithm at all.
- 1:52SPEAKER_00: It was just the last Saturday.
- 1:55SPEAKER_00: Until 2037.
- 1:59SPEAKER_00: Next time it'll be a Saturday Halloween or Saturday as you just described it to me.
- 2:05SPEAKER_00: I will have done my colonoscopy.
- 2:09SPEAKER_00: Right?
- 2:10SPEAKER_00: That happens like after you turn 40, so.
- 2:12SPEAKER_02: Couldn't tell you.
- 2:13SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 2:14SPEAKER_02: I don't know much about colonoscopy, so Yeah.
- 2:17SPEAKER_00: This episode's gonna be a little bit different than literally everything else, not just because we're in our sweats.
- 2:24SPEAKER_00: In our sweats, we're at our house, but no real material prepared.
- 2:29SPEAKER_00: You can even tune off right now.
- 2:31SPEAKER_02: We have a little material prepared.
- 2:32SPEAKER_00: We have stuff prepared.
- 2:34SPEAKER_02: It's just not our normal, it's not like gonna be normal, like off our cue cards.
- 2:38SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we decided to do this 30 minutes ago and we're like, what can we discuss?
- 2:42SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 2:43SPEAKER_00: So that's what we're gonna do.
- 2:44SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and no ad reads.
- 2:45SPEAKER_02: So you might be excited about it.
- 2:48SPEAKER_00: Free show for everybody.
- 2:49SPEAKER_00: A little surprise.
- 2:50SPEAKER_00: Again, hopefully the interview that we did that was gonna record and come out today does still come out.
- 2:56SPEAKER_02: Hopefully they can salvage it and like maybe we'll drop it on Wednesday or Thursday.
- 3:00SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 3:00SPEAKER_00: If not, we're just going to do a different interview with him and do different segments and maybe a different VIP table.
- 3:06SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 3:07SPEAKER_00: We're still gonna post some clips because my mic worked, his mic worked, and he had a lot of juicy things to dis discuss.
- 3:14SPEAKER_00: A lot of good insight.
- 3:15SPEAKER_02: He had great answers to all the interview questions and some really good wedding hot takes and like his opinion as a professional DJ who owns his own company.
- 3:24SPEAKER_02: So I hope I hope the episode can come out.
- 3:27SPEAKER_02: If not, we'll have to redo it because he's really great.
- 3:29SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 3:30SPEAKER_00: He is our title sponsor for our Big Wedding Game Show.
- 3:33SPEAKER_00: So if you're there on Tuesday, you'll get to meet Eric Burnett, our guest that we had.
- 3:41SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 3:41SPEAKER_00: And our DJ for the Big Wedding Game Show.
- 3:44SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 3:45SPEAKER_02: Him and his company are amazing.
- 3:47SPEAKER_02: So we'll be sure to either re-record or get the episode out if we can.
- 3:51SPEAKER_02: Otherwise, you can just listen to this one this week and we'll have uh one for next week, too.
- 3:56SPEAKER_02: No guest though.
- 3:57SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 3:58SPEAKER_02: Okay, so instead of reading a big long story like a story submission, we're gonna read some highlights from some wedding Reddit stories that are pretty funny.
- 4:07SPEAKER_02: So I'll read the first one.
- 4:08SPEAKER_02: The bride had 14 attendants, each of whom got their own song to walk down the aisle to.
- 4:14SPEAKER_02: The church was overpacked by a hundred people.
- 4:16SPEAKER_02: The air broke in July in the said church.
- 4:19SPEAKER_02: Nope.
- 4:20SPEAKER_02: No windows, had to be in 900 degree Iowa summer.
- 4:24SPEAKER_02: Ceremony was almost three hours long because one, so many people wanted to recite poems or sing songs or whatever, and two, the groom's brother gave the wedding talk, and it turned into a reminder.
- 4:35SPEAKER_02: A remember when we did this blow by blow of their entire childhood.
- 4:39SPEAKER_02: We finally get to see the blessedly cool reception hall.
- 4:42SPEAKER_02: Dinner was supposed to start at six PM, but at eight thirty p.m.
- 4:45SPEAKER_02: the bride fainted from lack of food.
- 4:47SPEAKER_02: This was after another two and a half hours of cousins, aunts, and uncles giving speech, poems, and songs one after the other with no break.
- 4:55SPEAKER_02: Why they didn't do this after the food was served, I will never know.
- 4:58SPEAKER_02: And finally, around midnight, the fight broke out with the best man and one of the groom's men.
- 5:03SPEAKER_02: Both of them were blackout drunk and wanted one of the fourteen bridesmaids' numbers.
- 5:07SPEAKER_02: They decided to fight it out in the middle of the dance floor.
- 5:10SPEAKER_02: So classy.
- 5:11SPEAKER_02: There's a lot about this that isn't absolutely not to me.
- 5:16SPEAKER_02: Like, who is going to a church ceremony that's three hours long?
- 5:20SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I can't even do like a one-hour church ceremony on a three hour.
- 5:24SPEAKER_02: I feel like a religious ceremony at a church is like 45 minutes to an hour, and that's like about my threshold.
- 5:30unknown: Yeah.
- 5:30SPEAKER_02: And most ceremonies that you go to are 30 minutes or less.
- 5:34SPEAKER_02: So the fact that it was three hours, I would have been like, yeah, I'm good.
- 5:38SPEAKER_02: I am, I'm good.
- 5:39SPEAKER_02: And no air conditioning, so I'm out.
- 5:42SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 5:43SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
- 5:44SPEAKER_02: Alright, here's one.
- 5:45SPEAKER_02: On the day of our wedding, it was discovered that the venue had booked two outdoor weddings at the same time.
- 5:51SPEAKER_02: Ours and another in a gazebo not very far from ours.
- 5:53SPEAKER_02: Somehow, the father of the bride in the other wedding found out that our processions were going to be at the same time.
- 5:59SPEAKER_02: He also found out that our procession included a bagpiper, as myself and my groomsmen are all in kilts.
- 6:05SPEAKER_02: While his daughter's wedding procession was to have a harpist, he approached me and very nicely asked if we would consider delaying our processional for about 20 minutes so our bagpipers would not throw off or drown out their harpist.
- 6:17SPEAKER_02: After conferring with my soon-to-be wife, we agreed that a 20-minute delay was no big deal for us.
- 6:22SPEAKER_02: Unfortunately, the father of the bride should have taken some other factors into consideration and instead of delayed his wedding daughter's wedding, because their processional went off without a hitch, and everyone in the wedding heard their beautiful harpist, but the vows were pretty much inaudible because our bagpipers started at the requested 20 minutes later.
- 6:39SPEAKER_02: I found this out later that day because apparently one of my cousins attended the wedding and had a friend that was attending the other wedding.
- 6:44SPEAKER_02: Seriously, it was dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to cue the bagpipes until our processional was over.
- 6:50SPEAKER_02: I hope the other wedding party was able to get some sort of compensation from the venue for their oversight on this, since they had been informed of the musicians at each wedding and didn't bother informing either party.
- 7:00SPEAKER_02: On top of that, our DJ had burned a CD with our chosen husband-wife first dance song on it and didn't bother to check it before the reception.
- 7:07SPEAKER_02: The song would not play because the CD somehow did not burn correctly, and we had to pick another song to dance to on the fly.
- 7:13SPEAKER_02: We got a nice discount from the DJ company for that one.
- 7:17SPEAKER_02: Oof.
- 7:18SPEAKER_02: Bagpipers are so loud.
- 7:20SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I've never been to an event with a bagpiper, so I don't even know whether or not it's loud or not.
- 7:26SPEAKER_02: I had a bride do one like my last year at the History Center, and it was so loud it was inside, so it was like deafening loud.
- 7:34SPEAKER_02: But I can imagine like being outside.
- 7:36SPEAKER_02: That's all you would hear.
- 7:38SPEAKER_02: I would I would have been pissed.
- 7:40unknown: Okay.
- 7:41SPEAKER_02: My wife's co-worker got married.
- 7:43SPEAKER_02: She was super nervous, so her bridesmaid decided to give her some liquid courage in the form of tequila shots.
- 7:48SPEAKER_02: She wasn't feeling it fast enough for her liking because it takes a while.
- 7:52SPEAKER_02: So they actually overdid it some.
- 7:53SPEAKER_02: She wasn't an experienced drinker either, so lower tolerance for more booze.
- 7:57SPEAKER_02: She was so nervous the first two minutes of the ceremony, and by the end was feeling really good about life.
- 8:03SPEAKER_02: By the reception, she was pretty knackered.
- 8:05SPEAKER_02: What an interesting word.
- 8:06SPEAKER_02: Several sheets to the wind and losing grip on the rest.
- 8:09SPEAKER_02: She was wearing a strapless dress that had fit when she got it fitted properly, but apparently she shed a little bit of weight from being so jittery over the course of the final two weeks leading up to the wedding.
- 8:19SPEAKER_02: So the jet the dress was just a tiny bit roomy.
- 8:21SPEAKER_02: Those details will come into play soon.
- 8:23SPEAKER_02: So she's going around thanking people in that drunken way for coming when she sees me sitting with my wife.
- 8:29SPEAKER_02: She apparently thought it was time to tell me what an awesome guy I was by hugging me drunkenly.
- 8:34SPEAKER_02: So her chest, I guess she was hoping in for a more appropriate hug, but that didn't make it.
- 8:39SPEAKER_02: She lifted her arms for the hug, and at that point her dress went up for a bit of a trip.
- 8:43SPEAKER_02: So basically I got a face full of the bride's naughty pillows.
- 8:47SPEAKER_02: She hung on for a bit gushing about me.
- 8:49SPEAKER_02: I couldn't breathe.
- 8:50SPEAKER_02: But dang, if she wasn't actually a clammy bordering on really sweaty July wedding, great for me, I guess.
- 8:56SPEAKER_02: When her groom and maid of honor extricated me for about 15 seconds, the groom was a true brother.
- 9:01SPEAKER_02: He gave me this really awkward look instead of being mad at me.
- 9:04SPEAKER_02: She looked down and made that classic over-emphasized oops reaction, and she hauled herself up, not very well, back into the dress.
- 9:11SPEAKER_02: My wife was far too shocked to be mad at me, thank goodness.
- 9:14SPEAKER_02: All of us at the table agreed to not bring the incident up with the bride.
- 9:18SPEAKER_02: And then it says T L D R.
- 9:20SPEAKER_02: What does that sound?
- 9:21SPEAKER_02: What does that stand for?
- 9:22SPEAKER_02: Bride forced me to motorboat her sweaty pillows in front of my wife.
- 9:28SPEAKER_00: Alright, this segment is things that used to be normal, that might not be so normal anymore.
- 9:33SPEAKER_00: I will name some things that happen in our childhood, maybe in during college, early adulthood, last week that might be d bizarre now.
- 9:43SPEAKER_00: Got it, I'm ready.
- 9:45SPEAKER_00: The first one.
- 9:50SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 9:51SPEAKER_02: I can't imagine that.
- 9:52SPEAKER_02: I still remember my like house phone number, but same.
- 9:57SPEAKER_00: I didn't necessarily like use the house phone that much, but I always like my mom would get the same call from her same three girlfriends.
- 10:08SPEAKER_00: Like and s I would see it on the caller ID.
- 10:10SPEAKER_00: Patty's calling.
- 10:12SPEAKER_00: Linda's calling.
- 10:13SPEAKER_00: Like, I'll let it ring two times, and if my mom doesn't want to answer, I know that maybe she didn't want to talk right then and there.
- 10:20SPEAKER_02: I remember my parents used to make us be like, Thank you for calling the Ballowender house.
- 10:25SPEAKER_02: May I ask who's calling?
- 10:27SPEAKER_02: That's like how we had to answer the phone, like we were at work.
- 10:30SPEAKER_00: Did you not have caller ID?
- 10:31SPEAKER_00: Or did you just add it on the wall?
- 10:33SPEAKER_02: We might have we had one on the wall at first.
- 10:36SPEAKER_02: Like, well, it was like on a on top of the music player.
- 10:40SPEAKER_02: It's like where ours was.
- 10:41SPEAKER_02: And then um, like if we were home and the phone rang, that's how they wanted us.
- 10:46SPEAKER_02: And then we would have to take notes in the little notebook that my mom had next to the phone.
- 10:49SPEAKER_02: I'm sure we had caller ID at one point, but like I don't remember that.
- 11:28SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that came that it was definitely just like a wall phone at first that couldn't go and traverse around the house.
- 11:34SPEAKER_00: It had to be like in the kitchen, was where my phone was at first, and then the purchase of the then you had two phones and then you got a caller ID phone.
- 11:47SPEAKER_00: That was like the Sometimes I would even sneak and like listen in on the phone conversation if once the second phone came about.
- 11:55SPEAKER_00: It's like, oh I don't know.
- 11:57SPEAKER_00: And they're just talking about like the most mom things.
- 12:01SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 12:02SPEAKER_00: I didn't need to necessarily like pay attention to anything that was going on.
- 12:05SPEAKER_02: Yeah, my parents had the other phone in their bedroom.
- 12:08SPEAKER_02: Which in now thinking about it is strange, but then I'm like, in case somebody called in like the middle of the night.
- 12:14SPEAKER_00: Yeah, or something like that.
- 12:16SPEAKER_02: It was like in their room, and then the other one was like on the main floor in the living room.
- 12:21SPEAKER_02: I can't imagine, like our kids are never really gonna know what that is, like an old phone, because we're always gonna have cell phones.
- 12:28SPEAKER_00: Yeah, another thing that they no one does that much anymore is burning CDs.
- 12:34SPEAKER_00: I miss that.
- 12:35SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like having a nice album or just a plethora of CDs on your um goodness in your car.
- 12:47SPEAKER_02: What is that called though?
- 12:48SPEAKER_02: Like the mirror.
- 12:49SPEAKER_02: The sunblocker.
- 12:50SPEAKER_00: The sunblocker?
- 12:51SPEAKER_00: It definitely has a word.
- 12:52SPEAKER_00: I don't know why I'm blanking on it.
- 12:54SPEAKER_00: But yeah, like you can just switch up all the different CDs that you made.
- 12:58SPEAKER_00: I would go I didn't have like a house computer growing up.
- 13:01SPEAKER_00: I would go to my cousins and burn CDs and have that was my CDs for the next month.
- 13:08SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah.
- 13:09SPEAKER_02: I love CDs and like wasn't it you that said that your CD thing got stolen?
- 13:14SPEAKER_00: My CD thing never got stolen.
- 13:16SPEAKER_02: I thought someone said that.
- 13:17SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 13:18SPEAKER_02: Somebody I know did have like a big book of CDs and then it all got stolen, and they were like burn CDs, and you can't get those back because they're like special mixes, you know.
- 13:26SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 13:26SPEAKER_02: And like if you knew you had a road trip coming up, or like every time I was driving back to college, especially like freshman year, I feel like I still burned CDs because that's I had a CD player in my car.
- 13:38SPEAKER_02: I didn't have like a Bluetooth player, I couldn't connect my phone.
- 13:41SPEAKER_02: No, so like I always would look forward to like burning new songs and then that hour and 15-minute drive jamming out to my CD.
- 13:49SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I feel like I did get an iPod throughout high school, so I think CD started to be on its way out for me high school era.
- 13:57SPEAKER_00: But I would necessarily I would only have like my CD player, you know, like the one that you would plug in and listen to on headphones, like the singular CD player, not even just like a boom box.
- 14:09SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
- 14:10SPEAKER_00: Be an actual CD player that I can walk around at your house in my neighborhood.
- 14:14SPEAKER_00: Yeah, in my house.
- 14:16SPEAKER_00: Calling the movie theater for Show Times.
- 14:19SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah.
- 14:19SPEAKER_00: Or like looking at a newspaper for the Show Times.
- 14:22SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 14:23SPEAKER_02: I feel like that's so crazy because now you do everything on your phone.
- 14:26SPEAKER_02: So it's like, what are the show times?
- 14:28SPEAKER_02: Let me look them up real quick.
- 14:30SPEAKER_00: And there's like it's on an app, it's not even just on like a Google search.
- 14:33SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 14:34SPEAKER_00: And you can get the rewards member points and get a free movie a month that we signed up for and have you have to go to the movies the next two months.
- 14:42SPEAKER_02: There's some kids' movies coming out, so I'm like, maybe we could do a family movie.
- 14:45SPEAKER_02: And Benny always asks for the movie Peter.
- 14:47SPEAKER_02: That's what she calls it.
- 14:49SPEAKER_02: Oh the movie Peter.
- 14:52SPEAKER_00: Like there's a movie called Peter coming out.
- 14:54SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 14:54SPEAKER_02: There's that cat in the hat movie coming out.
- 14:56SPEAKER_02: Like they would like something like that.
- 14:57SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 14:58SPEAKER_02: And I'm sure like Disney, I feel like always comes out with one near Thanksgiving time.
- 15:01SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and like Marvel has Doomsday coming out.
- 15:04SPEAKER_00: That's the one I'm looking forward to.
- 15:06SPEAKER_00: That's for us to go to.
- 15:06SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 15:07SPEAKER_02: No, the kids aren't going to that.
- 15:09SPEAKER_00: Facebook relationship statuses.
- 15:13SPEAKER_00: I look at it as I feel like that's when you knew that someone was going exclusive.
- 15:17SPEAKER_00: Like even MySpace.
- 15:18SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 15:18SPEAKER_00: If you were dating somebody or if you knew that some someone was starting to talk, they would creep up on the top eight and then they would go to number one on the top eight.
- 15:28SPEAKER_02: Like, I feel like I didn't date a lot of people, so I wasn't like updating my status, but just in general, I did pay attention to other people.
- 15:36SPEAKER_02: Like when it when it pops up, even now, like if I see someone that's like, I got married, and I'm like, oh, who's that?
- 15:42SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 15:43SPEAKER_02: I creep on who it is.
- 15:44SPEAKER_00: I don't necessarily like creep on that, but I look back probably MySpace era I was doing it.
- 15:49SPEAKER_00: Or you knew when there was trouble in paradise, and then they would put the person like number two or three.
- 15:55SPEAKER_02: They're going down in rankings.
- 15:56SPEAKER_00: They were getting ranked down, and like the best friends were taken back over the top spot, so trouble in paradise.
- 16:02SPEAKER_00: Meanwhile, they just didn't talk to each other.
- 16:03SPEAKER_00: I like my middle school relationships.
- 16:06SPEAKER_00: I like dated people, but I was a middle school, I was very shy, wasn't really talking to them ever.
- 16:13SPEAKER_02: You would like give them a side hug.
- 16:15SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 16:16SPEAKER_00: Like Room for Jesus.
- 16:20SPEAKER_00: Uploading over a hundred photos on Facebook into an album and putting like a whatever the song of the summer quote is.
- 16:31SPEAKER_02: Guilty.
- 16:31SPEAKER_02: Guilty has charged me.
- 16:34SPEAKER_02: Even in college I was doing that.
- 16:35SPEAKER_02: It would be like Summer 08.
- 16:38SPEAKER_02: Junior year exclamation point, hard emoji, but it wasn't even like an emoji, it was like the greater sign three exclamation point.
- 16:47SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I didn't I wasn't much of like an album poster itself like would make those.
- 16:53SPEAKER_00: But every time I did, it was like.
- 16:56SPEAKER_00: I even whenever I first got my laptop at college, I made an album of just the like pictures that I took in my dorm with people before we would go out for the night.
- 17:06SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 17:07SPEAKER_00: I need to delete that.
- 17:08SPEAKER_00: I saw one of me.
- 17:09SPEAKER_02: Mine from college are so bad.
- 17:11SPEAKER_00: I I look I love looking at my Facebook memories just to see what I was saying.
- 17:17SPEAKER_00: Like it's nice sometimes look back at photos just in general or like what happened at this day six years ago.
- 17:23SPEAKER_00: But the ones that were 15, 16 years ago.
- 17:29SPEAKER_00: I had one today that was I'm in high school and I posted in the high school library on Facebook, no big deal.
- 17:40SPEAKER_02: NBD.
- 17:41SPEAKER_00: It was NBD actually.
- 17:42SPEAKER_02: Like NBD, period.
- 17:44SPEAKER_00: I instantly just went to the top right and like deleted it.
- 17:46SPEAKER_00: Like I don't need to see that one again.
- 17:48SPEAKER_02: I don't have like the flashbacks.
- 17:50SPEAKER_02: Like sometimes it will show me a flashback, but you talk about yours and I'm like, man, mine does not show me that.
- 17:54SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but maybe you deleted it.
- 17:56SPEAKER_02: I probably did.
- 17:57SPEAKER_02: At one point I remember like I think when I wa when we were leaving college and we had to like put our socials on things, I like deleted a bunch of stuff because I was like, if someone sees this, I'm gonna be like, they're not gonna want to hire me because I was so stupid.
- 18:12SPEAKER_00: Alright, this next segment is current internet debates.
- 18:17SPEAKER_00: These are things that are being posted on social media, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, podcasts, and we're doing it for ourselves right here and now.
- 18:27SPEAKER_00: Nothing political.
- 18:29SPEAKER_00: It is election day.
- 18:31SPEAKER_02: We will be voting.
- 18:32SPEAKER_00: But won't be sharing that.
- 18:34SPEAKER_00: Because that you're you debate like not you in general, but like I feel like politics are just debated all the time.
- 18:43SPEAKER_00: We don't need to do that.
- 18:45SPEAKER_00: Alright, the first one is asking the state of friend's house rude.
- 18:49SPEAKER_00: Meaning if you're going to visit them, they live out of town, and you're going to visit them if they're in another city or in another state or they live in a beach area and you want to go and see them because you haven't seen them in a while, or there's a wedding happening in that same town.
- 19:07SPEAKER_00: Is it rude to ask to stay?
- 19:10SPEAKER_02: I think if you know they have a guest room, no.
- 19:13SPEAKER_02: If they don't have anywhere to put you and you're gonna have to like make people move out of their rooms, like if you are like, Oh, I really want to stay at your house, like I don't want to pay for a hotel.
- 19:23SPEAKER_02: I do think it's a little bit rude.
- 19:25SPEAKER_00: I think if like you're in your 20s, I you're not making buku money to come and visit somebody and stay for a week and spend over a thousand dollars to say at a hotel that's down the road.
- 19:38SPEAKER_00: However, if we had people coming to to visit us, and it is a prolonged stay, I'm not saying they have to leave, but realize that hey, I'm gonna I have to work still, I can't just like call off.
- 19:50SPEAKER_00: If you're like here for the wedding, come for that weekend, but after that, like I'm gonna be back at work on that Monday or Tuesday.
- 19:56SPEAKER_00: Or if you're here for an entire week, like I don't I can't take off for five days.
- 20:03SPEAKER_00: I can be off for two, yeah, and then I gotta go back to work.
- 20:08SPEAKER_00: You're more than welcome to visit.
- 20:09SPEAKER_00: Like when we worked at hotels and resorts, we had a lot of people visit us.
- 20:13SPEAKER_00: They can come to the resort and hang out, I can kind of get them in and they can enjoy themselves, but I can't entertain 24-7.
- 20:21SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 20:22SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think the way that you put it is right, like it's fine for a couple days, but if it's prolonged, it's like all right.
- 20:29SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
- 20:31SPEAKER_00: Should your spouse automatically drive you to and from the airport?
- 20:36SPEAKER_02: I don't think so.
- 20:38SPEAKER_00: If if you if I was asking you to take me to the airport for like a 4 a.m.
- 20:43SPEAKER_00: flight or like or a 6 a.m.
- 20:45SPEAKER_00: flight, meaning you have to wake up and get me there at 4 a.m., it's not like mandatory.
- 20:50SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 20:51SPEAKER_00: Now, if it's an afternoon flight, traffic's not gonna be bad.
- 20:56SPEAKER_00: If it's not during a rush hour time.
- 20:59SPEAKER_00: And maybe it's just like, hey, one way.
- 21:02SPEAKER_00: It's not mandatory.
- 21:04SPEAKER_00: I'm not saying it's mandatory.
- 21:05SPEAKER_00: The least favorite things I would have is like similar to what we just mentioned about a friend visiting you and you live out of state and they're coming for the week, and then they ask to pick you to pick them up at the airport.
- 21:20SPEAKER_00: Like when we lived in Key Largo, we lived at least an hour.
- 21:25SPEAKER_00: We can either have gone, people could have flew into Miami or flew into Fort Lauderdale.
- 21:30SPEAKER_00: And Fort Lauderdale is almost two hours if there's traffic, at least sometimes more than two hours if there was traffic.
- 21:35SPEAKER_00: And so it was minimum an hour and 45 minutes.
- 21:38SPEAKER_00: So like, no, I'm not gonna come pick you up.
- 21:41SPEAKER_00: Or like you.
- 21:44SPEAKER_02: I feel like we live in the age, if you're like adult enough, is like get an Uber.
- 21:49SPEAKER_02: Just pay for an Uber.
- 21:50SPEAKER_02: You like for us, even like you rarely ask me to drive you to the airport, and if I'm traveling somewhere, just drive myself and park my car.
- 21:58SPEAKER_02: We also have kids, so it's like if it I'm not putting the kids in the car to drive you 45 minutes there, 45 minutes back, possible traffic, like no, you can drive yourself and then you can pay for parking.
- 22:09SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I totally feel that.
- 22:12SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I I think when it comes like a spouse thing, you'll figure, like, yeah, you just get an Uber or drive yourself and pay for the parking.
- 22:23SPEAKER_00: Friends, get an Uber.
- 22:25SPEAKER_00: Friends, Uber.
- 22:26SPEAKER_00: Get a rental car for the week, too, because then that means that I'm gonna have to drive you around everywhere.
- 22:31SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 22:33SPEAKER_00: Is bringing An iced coffee into a job interview unprofessional, maybe just bringing a beverage in general.
- 22:41SPEAKER_02: This was a hot topic on social media.
- 22:43SPEAKER_02: I was seeing people go back and forth.
- 22:44SPEAKER_02: And I do have to say, I would have never personally done this.
- 22:48SPEAKER_02: No.
- 22:48SPEAKER_02: We went through, I feel like, at least at Slippery Rock, they prepared us very well for interviews.
- 22:53SPEAKER_02: Like taught us how to make a resume, how you're supposed to dress, we did mock interviews.
- 22:58SPEAKER_02: I it's not that it's like super rude, but I'm just kind of like, you show up, you shouldn't, you shouldn't be bringing that kind of stuff in.
- 23:06SPEAKER_02: Like you can have a water bottle, I guess, if you're thirsty.
- 23:08SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but they always like offer kind of stuff.
- 23:11SPEAKER_00: Like they always would have a a water.
- 23:13SPEAKER_00: You always have to have like some sort of thing to uh cleanse the palate.
- 23:20SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 23:21SPEAKER_00: Because you're about to like, especially for like if it's a big job interview and you're gonna be talking to like a series of rounds of interviews with individuals, you're doing a lot of talking.
- 23:32SPEAKER_00: You need to have a water at least.
- 23:34SPEAKER_00: Now, if you had a coffee available, that would even be a better perk.
- 23:37SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 23:38SPEAKER_00: Give me all spiced up.
- 23:39SPEAKER_02: I feel like it's fine to bring it into the interview while you're waiting, because sometimes you're waiting like you know, 50, you get there early.
- 23:45SPEAKER_02: But I feel like once you go into the interview, it's like just throw it in the trash.
- 23:49SPEAKER_02: Don't bring it into the actual interview.
- 23:51SPEAKER_00: Alright, I we might have mess mentioned this one in one of the first episodes, but it's tipping gotten out of control.
- 23:59SPEAKER_00: I think so.
- 24:00SPEAKER_02: I think for most things, like if you're handing me something that you didn't make and you're just like checking me out, why am I giving you a tip?
- 24:10SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 24:10SPEAKER_02: If you're if you're serving my table and you're at doing an act of service, yeah, I'm gonna tip you.
- 24:16SPEAKER_02: But if you're just like the checkout person and I grab something from the gas station, let's say, I mean the gas station doesn't ask for for a tip, but like there are services like that.
- 24:25SPEAKER_02: And you talked about it at like uh the football stadium.
- 24:28SPEAKER_00: They used to have the like tip as an option for those kiosks.
- 24:31SPEAKER_00: Like I don't know, I'm the one that grabbed the beer, I'm the one that grabbed the nachos, and then I'm then I'm putting the item on the kiosk.
- 24:37SPEAKER_00: Like, who am I even tipping?
- 24:39SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
- 24:40SPEAKER_02: I mean, for most things, if there if there is service involved, I'm always tipping.
- 24:46SPEAKER_02: Even if I do a pickup at the pizza place, you're tipping.
- 24:50SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 24:51SPEAKER_02: I don't tip as much when it's like just a pickup, but like I'm still tipping.
- 24:55SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 24:56SPEAKER_02: I I just think that for some things it's so unnecessary, and I'm like, why should I be paying an extra two, three bucks for something that I don't know, you're not doing anything, you're not doing an act of service that you would need a tip.
- 25:09SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like I s we scheduled we got a lot of junk removed.
- 25:13SPEAKER_00: We had a two individuals come and remove the junk.
- 25:17SPEAKER_00: They got tipped.
- 25:18SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they were physically lifting a bunch of garbage.
- 25:20SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna tip them.
- 25:22SPEAKER_00: Yeah, absolutely.
- 25:23SPEAKER_00: Is gentle parenting actually working?
- 25:26SPEAKER_02: I can't speak from experience, but I would say from how a lot of kids act nowadays, no.
- 25:34SPEAKER_02: I think that they're it it's almost like they're walking all over their parents.
- 25:38SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 25:40SPEAKER_00: I mean, uh yeah, we don't like I can't speak for other parents on like how they should parent and shouldn't parent.
- 25:46SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 25:46SPEAKER_00: But you can see when a kid is getting away with a lot and a kid that's not getting away with a lot.
- 25:52SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 25:53SPEAKER_02: I feel like we correct our children and they still can act very bratty.
- 25:58SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 25:59SPEAKER_02: And we're not gentle parents.
- 26:01SPEAKER_02: We don't do the gentle parenting method, so it's like for someone that is gentle parenting, I don't know.
- 26:07SPEAKER_02: I don't know how they're like getting their kids to stop it.
- 26:12SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I don't know.
- 26:13SPEAKER_02: Like I don't we I don't know the method fully, but I would say it's not working great.
- 26:19SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 26:20SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm not gonna I'm gonna let them know whenever they're acting up.
- 26:23SPEAKER_00: I'm not gonna just like let it slide.
- 26:25SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 26:25SPEAKER_00: And I'm not trying to be there, even though my son does say that I'm his best friend, I'm not actually like a hundred percent of the time acting like a best friend.
- 26:34SPEAKER_00: When I got a parents when I got a dad, I'm gonna dad.
- 26:36SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 26:37SPEAKER_00: How much is too much for a first date is something about someone broke down the cost of a New York first date with people arguing about who pays and how expensive dating has become.
- 26:51SPEAKER_00: I don't I mean we go on dates and sometimes we want to splurge on ourselves.
- 26:56SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 26:57SPEAKER_00: But like we're not I'm not going on a first date with you anymore, so I guess like it's not like it was whenever we went on our first date.
- 27:06SPEAKER_00: Our first date was to Pizza Hut.
- 27:08SPEAKER_00: We were in college.
- 27:08SPEAKER_02: But even like our average dates, because I do feel that you don't want to put too much expectations on the first date, you know.
- 27:15SPEAKER_02: For us, it was like Pizza Hut.
- 27:17SPEAKER_02: That's casual, that's like comfortable.
- 27:19SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 27:19SPEAKER_02: For us, especially when we were in college.
- 27:21SPEAKER_00: So like on my birthday too.
- 27:23SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 27:23SPEAKER_00: That was more so.
- 27:24SPEAKER_00: I think we went.
- 27:25SPEAKER_00: I was like, I'll just go get some pizza.
- 27:26SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I don't know.
- 27:27SPEAKER_02: It was a good first date.
- 27:29SPEAKER_02: I feel that if you're taking somebody out, well, New York City's obviously gonna be way more expensive than anywhere else, but if you're taking somebody out for like a fancy dinner in New York City, you're probably it's probably gonna cost like three to four hundred dollars if you're going dinner, drinks, if you're doing the whole lot, it's not gonna be cheap.
- 27:46SPEAKER_02: To me, that's too expensive for a first date, I would say.
- 27:49SPEAKER_00: I think it if you have to pay the equivalent of, let's say, like a car payment or like a very expensive monthly bill on a first date, that's probably a little bit too much.
- 28:03SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 28:03SPEAKER_00: I'm thinking like a cell phone bill.
- 28:05SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 28:06SPEAKER_02: I think like a first date, I would say range, like keep it under 125.
- 28:11SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 28:12SPEAKER_02: I don't really know.
- 28:13SPEAKER_02: Like, I feel like if we go out to the bar and we each get a couple drinks, we get a burger.
- 28:18SPEAKER_02: I don't know, we probably spend about a hundred dollars.
- 28:21SPEAKER_02: That seems pretty normal.
- 28:22SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 28:23SPEAKER_00: Depending on the location.
- 28:24SPEAKER_00: Sometimes it's more, sometimes it's less.
- 28:26SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 28:27SPEAKER_02: So I don't know.
- 28:28SPEAKER_02: I couldn't fathom like not knowing someone and taking them out on a date for like$400, and then if it was like a terrible date or just like a waste of your time.
- 28:36SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 28:36SPEAKER_02: Both of your time or both your energy.
- 28:38SPEAKER_00: If it went bad, then you're gonna have another first date with somebody else, and it's another monthly expense.
- 28:43SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 28:44SPEAKER_00: It's a little bit too much.
- 28:45SPEAKER_02: And I'm not saying like set the bar low, but I'm just like you don't have to, you don't have to be super fancy.
- 28:51SPEAKER_02: I feel like that's maybe setting yourself up for failure.
- 28:54SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 28:55SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 28:56SPEAKER_02: In the long run.
- 28:57SPEAKER_00: VIP table.
- 28:59SPEAKER_00: I just looked up some different options that I can do.
- 29:02SPEAKER_00: Cassie has no idea.
- 29:03SPEAKER_00: I just looked at a good option five seconds ago.
- 29:07SPEAKER_00: Now seven seconds ago.
- 29:10SPEAKER_00: And now ten seconds ago.
- 29:12SPEAKER_00: Since we're doing it from our house, it's the worst animals to find in your house.
- 29:19SPEAKER_00: Rapid fire, you do want.
- 29:20SPEAKER_00: We will still do it the same way, but we gotta.
- 29:23SPEAKER_00: I'm I'm thinking I'm ready right now.
- 29:26SPEAKER_00: Alright, your first pick.
- 29:27SPEAKER_00: I got it, snake.
- 29:29SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah, snake would be scary.
- 29:31SPEAKER_02: We once had a snake on our garage door in Florida and like me.
- 29:35SPEAKER_02: We freaked out.
- 29:36SPEAKER_02: We like called the landlord and was like, you gotta help us.
- 29:38SPEAKER_00: Yeah, because I had like nothing to like get it.
- 29:40SPEAKER_00: It's the first time I dealt with.
- 29:42SPEAKER_00: It wasn't even like a black snake, you know, like a a normal like garden snake.
- 29:46SPEAKER_00: That thing was big.
- 29:47SPEAKER_00: It was it was a um it might have been a rattlesnake.
- 29:51SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 29:51SPEAKER_00: I don't think it was a rattle snake.
- 29:52SPEAKER_00: I don't think it was a rattlesnake.
- 29:53SPEAKER_02: All I know is we the garage door went up and then it looked like the bottom was peeling off the garage door, and it was just like a large snake, and we were like fell down and it went into the garage.
- 30:02SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 30:03SPEAKER_00: It was multicolored.
- 30:04SPEAKER_00: It was a multicolored.
- 30:04SPEAKER_02: I feel bad now that because like I know its fate was not great.
- 30:08SPEAKER_00: No.
- 30:09SPEAKER_02: But like you can't be I don't want to find a snake in my house.
- 30:12SPEAKER_02: Even if it's supposed to be a pet, I don't want to see it.
- 30:16SPEAKER_02: Snakes, number one.
- 30:17SPEAKER_02: No thank you.
- 30:19SPEAKER_00: My first would be a common one.
- 30:26SPEAKER_00: Not necessarily here, but like at other places there's a lot of them around, but it would be not a mouse, a rat.
- 30:33SPEAKER_00: I would go with a rat.
- 30:34SPEAKER_00: Rat in general.
- 30:35SPEAKER_00: Like a rat in general is just not good.
- 30:37SPEAKER_00: Not good.
- 30:38SPEAKER_00: I we went to, I was in like middle school.
- 30:41SPEAKER_00: We were getting my dog at the time.
- 30:45SPEAKER_00: We went to a humane society, and the first place we went to, we were about to get one dog, and then multiple rats just like scurried across the floor.
- 30:54SPEAKER_00: Like, yeah, we can't get a dog here.
- 30:56SPEAKER_00: It's just not like I don't know what happened.
- 30:59SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I don't know what happened for it.
- 31:01SPEAKER_00: So I'm like, uh.
- 31:02SPEAKER_00: And that was my experience that was my first experience with the rat.
- 31:04SPEAKER_00: It was like seventh grade, maybe sixth.
- 31:06SPEAKER_00: I don't remember what it was definitely middle school.
- 31:09SPEAKER_02: I feel like rats well, rats are obviously bigger and kind of grosser, but even mice, you don't want to see them.
- 31:13SPEAKER_00: No.
- 31:14SPEAKER_02: You know that they're like burrowing in the walls and like taking shit.
- 31:17SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
- 31:18SPEAKER_00: Maybe that was gonna be my second pick.
- 31:20SPEAKER_00: Oh.
- 31:20SPEAKER_00: No.
- 31:21SPEAKER_01: Who's like it's like the same thing?
- 31:23SPEAKER_00: Alright, next pick would be on it, like this is there's a lot of cat lovers, it's a big controversial.
- 31:30SPEAKER_00: A cat.
- 31:31SPEAKER_02: I agree.
- 31:32SPEAKER_00: Just with I don't want to smell the kitty litter.
- 31:35SPEAKER_00: Like whatever room the kitty litter's at, that room is no longer just like available for the a hangout spot.
- 31:44SPEAKER_00: I'm just smelling the cat litter.
- 31:45SPEAKER_00: I'm smelling the poop.
- 31:46SPEAKER_02: It's also like people that have cats, I think they're immune to the smell.
- 31:49SPEAKER_02: Because my sister used to be like, you can't smell anything, and I'd be like, it smells like cat piss in your house.
- 31:54SPEAKER_02: Like I smell it.
- 31:55SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 31:55SPEAKER_00: Like it's just love cats.
- 31:58SPEAKER_00: I don't know if they're for me.
- 31:59SPEAKER_02: Our kids love cats.
- 32:01SPEAKER_02: This thing's like moving.
- 32:02SPEAKER_02: I made it move a couple times.
- 32:05SPEAKER_02: Alright.
- 32:06SPEAKER_02: My next pick, it's not technically an animal.
- 32:08SPEAKER_02: My pick, next pick would be a moth.
- 32:12SPEAKER_02: I have like a fear.
- 32:13SPEAKER_02: I would say irrational, but it happened to someone I know that a moth flew in their ear and was like stuck in their ear canal.
- 32:20SPEAKER_02: So when they get in our house and I see them, like I immediately uh want to kill them.
- 32:24SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 32:24SPEAKER_02: I'm like, I don't want it near me.
- 32:26SPEAKER_02: I don't want it like going in my ear.
- 32:28SPEAKER_00: I think just like uh not to say that, well, uh my response, I might have an another pick.
- 32:37SPEAKER_00: But yeah, having a moth, it's just like a kind of like how stink bugs are.
- 32:42SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 32:43SPEAKER_00: Like I I don't necessarily hear the moth.
- 32:46SPEAKER_00: I hear the stink bug when it flies around.
- 32:48unknown: Like, oh.
- 32:49SPEAKER_00: That's not my pick, because you have another pick.
- 32:52SPEAKER_00: But they're like same, same.
- 32:54SPEAKER_02: Same, same, but different.
- 32:55SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 32:56SPEAKER_02: Um I would say my next one is also an insect, but ants.
- 33:04SPEAKER_02: The little ones, when they're crawling all over the place.
- 33:06SPEAKER_02: It usually means that there's like a hole somewhere.
- 33:09SPEAKER_00: Or just like food on the ground.
- 33:11SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they like crawling over.
- 33:13SPEAKER_00: I'm like, they build a system to like get to that said food.
- 33:18SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 33:18SPEAKER_00: The worst is whenever it does come up near our like dog bowls.
- 33:22SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 33:22SPEAKER_00: And then we gotta clean out the dog bowls.
- 33:24SPEAKER_02: And then I look in the dog bowls and there's like ants all around, and I'm like, oh my god.
- 33:28SPEAKER_00: God, this is gross.
- 33:29SPEAKER_02: We refill their food every day, so it'll be like you'd feed them breakfast, and then by lunchtime you see it, and you're like, oh no.
- 33:35unknown: Yeah.
- 33:36SPEAKER_02: That's close to the door, so like they sometimes get in the house, I think, from the back door.
- 33:40SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 33:41SPEAKER_00: My third pick would be a pig.
- 33:46SPEAKER_00: Like people get pigs as pets.
- 33:48SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah.
- 33:49SPEAKER_00: Not me.
- 33:50SPEAKER_00: And not like far there's even people that like mate, like a people someone that lives on a farm, they might have a pig that like comes into the house.
- 33:58SPEAKER_00: I don't think that that's probably like the best animal to have.
- 34:04SPEAKER_02: It's an interesting choice for a pet.
- 34:07SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
- 34:08SPEAKER_02: But there is like the there's like uh, I don't know what they're called, but they're like the mini pigs.
- 34:12SPEAKER_02: A girl I used to dance with, her family got one of those pigs, and it is really cute.
- 34:16SPEAKER_02: Like I never met it in person, but I see the pictures and I'm like, oh.
- 34:19SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 34:20SPEAKER_02: But I'm like, is it potty trained?
- 34:21SPEAKER_02: Like, I guess it would learn like a dog, maybe.
- 34:24SPEAKER_00: I have no idea.
- 34:24SPEAKER_00: I've actually never met anyone.
- 34:26SPEAKER_00: I just never something I would want to experience.
- 34:30SPEAKER_02: No, it's not on my list of things that I want.
- 34:32SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 34:32SPEAKER_00: My last pick is a bird.
- 34:36SPEAKER_02: No, that was my pick.
- 34:37unknown: Yeah.
- 34:38SPEAKER_00: Like, oh, they're annoying.
- 34:41SPEAKER_00: I I don't know how people are living comfortably hearing birds chirp in their house.
- 34:49SPEAKER_00: Like, getting a parrot, I'm it's it I think it would be cool for about one day.
- 34:58SPEAKER_00: And then after that, I would be over it.
- 35:00SPEAKER_00: But then people will buy a pair of keats and all these other different ones.
- 35:03SPEAKER_00: The bird is just stuck in a cage.
- 35:05SPEAKER_00: It's starting to live in its life to its full potential.
- 35:08SPEAKER_00: What is what is your reasoning to think that this is okay for you to do to get a bird?
- 35:13SPEAKER_02: Izzy had a bird.
- 35:14SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 35:14SPEAKER_02: And like it used to like live downstairs and it was very loud and like annoying.
- 35:20SPEAKER_00: Like, nope.
- 35:21SPEAKER_02: I died one day and I was like, thank God.
- 35:23SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so birds out.
- 35:25SPEAKER_00: I'm out on birds.
- 35:26SPEAKER_02: I'm so mad that was my last pick.
- 35:28SPEAKER_02: Um, okay, so I guess I'll have to go.
- 35:31SPEAKER_00: I was gonna go like pretty extreme.
- 35:32SPEAKER_00: I'm like, no, I can't go that extreme.
- 35:34SPEAKER_02: My next pick is gonna be a ferret.
- 35:37SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they stink.
- 35:39SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 35:39SPEAKER_02: And my cousins had ferrets, Amanda and Nick, and they used they were just gross.
- 35:45SPEAKER_02: Like, I don't know.
- 35:47SPEAKER_02: I don't know what it is about them.
- 35:48SPEAKER_02: I'm like, why are these things pets?
- 35:50SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 35:51SPEAKER_02: Like, aren't they supposed to live in the wild?
- 35:53SPEAKER_00: I'm I'm not even sure.
- 35:54SPEAKER_00: Any of the like guinea pigs and such, like those types of animals, like the rodents that you can get at like a pet smart.
- 36:02SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 36:02SPEAKER_00: Like, I don't know if this is none of these are really drawing interest for me.
- 36:07SPEAKER_02: No.
- 36:08SPEAKER_02: I mean, me and my friends in high school, group bought a hamster.
- 36:11SPEAKER_00: Well, that's like that would have been an an honorable mention, because I had one.
- 36:16SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah, didn't you like lose it?
- 36:18SPEAKER_00: It would always get out.
- 36:19SPEAKER_00: Like it always would chew through the plastic of its house and then just scurry all through the house, and then one time you find this out years later.
- 36:30SPEAKER_00: But uh we thought it died.
- 36:32SPEAKER_00: Like my it got to the point that it no longer it used to live in my live in my bedroom, but it was so loud that we put it in the furthest broom away from like all of our bedrooms.
- 36:43SPEAKER_00: And one morning we went down there and it was just laying flat and we thought it then it died.
- 36:50SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, I'm not saying this happened a month later, and we did research and find out.
- 36:55SPEAKER_00: This was something that was on social media like a year ago that hamsters, even pet hamsters, hibernate.
- 37:03SPEAKER_00: And we What'd you do?
- 37:05SPEAKER_01: Throw it out?
- 37:06SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, it died.
- 37:07SPEAKER_00: We thought it died.
- 37:08SPEAKER_00: It might have actually died, but like there's a there's a small chance it was alive that it was still alive because it was hibernating.
- 37:16SPEAKER_00: Oh my god.
- 37:17SPEAKER_00: Other ones bearded dragons.
- 37:20SPEAKER_00: I wouldn't mind a bearded dragon.
- 37:22SPEAKER_00: There was a time I really wanted one, and then I was like, yeah, well, like, I don't really need to like have a bearded dragon.
- 37:28SPEAKER_01: Tarantulas?
- 37:29SPEAKER_00: Spiders, definitely not.
- 37:31SPEAKER_00: Like, even just like a spider that's like perusing.
- 37:34SPEAKER_00: I know that they're probably keeping other little insects away.
- 37:38SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 37:38SPEAKER_00: A bee that sneaks in, not good.
- 37:41SPEAKER_00: Don't want it.
- 37:42SPEAKER_00: I don't really, um like other animals that people actually like get and then they have as pets.
- 37:51SPEAKER_00: I was gonna say, like, an exotic animal.
- 37:53SPEAKER_00: Like a lot of people will get, like you see it only online, but like, why would you have a tiger living in your house?
- 37:58SPEAKER_00: Why would you have a tiger king 2.0?
- 38:01SPEAKER_00: You can't have those.
- 38:02SPEAKER_00: They're not meant for that.
- 38:04SPEAKER_00: They're gonna eventually do something bad.
- 38:06SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 38:06SPEAKER_00: Getting a pet monkey.
- 38:08SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm like, it's so strange.
- 38:09SPEAKER_00: Also, I'm pretty sure it's illegal.
- 38:11SPEAKER_00: It was like a middle school fad that I really wanted to have a pet monkey, like a chimpanzee.
- 38:16SPEAKER_00: I also feel like everyone at one point has that like thought process.
- 38:21SPEAKER_02: Maybe Night at the Museum came out and that monkey was like a star.
- 38:24SPEAKER_00: Like a capuchin monkey.
- 38:26SPEAKER_00: The little ones.
- 38:27SPEAKER_00: I guess they're all aggressive though.
- 38:29SPEAKER_00: So I'm glad I never got a monkey.
- 38:31unknown: Yeah.
- 38:31SPEAKER_02: Like, oh maybe it'll be I would take a boobster.
- 38:34SPEAKER_00: Yeah, a blue monkey.
- 38:37SPEAKER_00: What uh like uh I don't really know.
- 38:39SPEAKER_02: Like, oh, my both my cousins also had rabbits.
- 38:43SPEAKER_02: Again.
- 38:44SPEAKER_02: Cute.
- 38:45SPEAKER_02: Well, my one cousin's their rabbit was like a dog.
- 38:48SPEAKER_02: It would like roam the house.
- 38:49SPEAKER_02: It didn't even have like a cage.
- 38:51SPEAKER_02: It just like had its bed and like maybe went in the cage when they left the house, but when we were there, it would just be like out and roaming around.
- 38:58SPEAKER_02: And then the other ones like lived in the basement in this like giant cage and it was nasty and smelly around.
- 39:03SPEAKER_00: I'm like, and that like I would never animals that I don't want in my own house, and I don't I'm not gonna like mention any of the bad breeds, but like a an aggressive dog breed.
- 39:14SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 39:15SPEAKER_00: Especially when you have like kids around the house, all it takes is one time for something to happen.
- 39:20SPEAKER_00: Not saying even like the dog breeds that we have, they that they're impossible to be aggressive.
- 39:27SPEAKER_00: Other like they might be a golden retriever that was aggressive like that.
- 39:30SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 39:31SPEAKER_02: It's an animal, so it's like always a chase.
- 39:33SPEAKER_00: As much as you train it, I think some of the dog breeds, there is an opportunity that they, if they were to get mad at the kids that something bad could happen.
- 39:44SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they're more aggressive.
- 39:46SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
