00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:02.240
Welcome to our little show.
00:00:02.399 --> 00:00:04.400
There are some things that you should know.
00:00:04.559 --> 00:00:08.800
We've practiced what we're gonna say, but it will go wrong anyway.
00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:13.199
We've got the facts, we've got the charts, just not the social graces parts.
00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:17.199
So settle in and press that play and let awkward lead the way.
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:19.440
It's the Certifiably Awkward Podcast.
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:21.839
It's the Certifiably Awkward Podcast.
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:25.440
Welcome back to the Certifiably Awkward Podcast.
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:27.280
I'm one of your hosts, Amy.
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:29.679
I'm Gabriella, and I'm Lena.
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:35.679
And today, listeners, we are recording our 10th episode.
00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:49.359
It's been a wild ride, and I want to appreciate the group of you who have been uh these two who have been supportive over these past 10 episodes.
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:54.640
Uh the good and the bad and the ugly and the wedge shoes and all of the above.
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:55.119
So.
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:56.240
The wedge shoes?
00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:56.799
The wedge.
00:00:57.119 --> 00:00:57.679
The wedges.
00:00:58.000 --> 00:00:58.640
The wet shoes.
00:00:58.960 --> 00:00:59.520
It was like wet?
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:01.039
The wedge shoes.
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:02.880
Wedges.
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:06.799
Um so I think we're gonna start today.
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:14.159
I had um an incident this week that was related to a story I told many episodes ago.
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:32.799
Do you all remember my dating story about the awful date of the guy down at the waterfront who did not pick up on my social cues at all and kept putting his arm around my and like wanted me to lay my head on his shoulder?
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:36.159
So I accidentally butt dialed him this week.
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:37.120
Oh my god.
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:38.000
No, you didn't.
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:38.879
I did.
00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:40.319
Stop it.
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:42.159
Oh my god, did he answer?
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:44.640
I hung up so fast.
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:45.840
I it rang.
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:51.920
I was getting out of my car, was dropping Kiwi off at doggy daycare, and I'm getting out of my car and I'm here this ringing.
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:52.640
I'm like, what?
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:55.200
And I see his name.
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:56.319
Oh my gosh.
00:01:57.359 --> 00:01:58.400
How does that happen?
00:01:58.719 --> 00:01:59.200
I don't know.
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:01.439
She didn't delete him from her contact.
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:02.799
I didn't like it.
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:04.879
But well, but how did it how did it even come up?
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:11.039
Like, it's not like I think I probably had my messages open or something, but like he was all the way down.
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:11.759
Oh, exactly.
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:14.080
I would have had to scroll through hundreds, right?
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:16.479
That was a popular.
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:17.439
Oh my goodness.
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:19.919
Hundreds! Hundreds, guys.
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:22.080
I date a lot, okay?
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:28.879
So, but so I hung up and I was mortified.
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:33.599
And all I could think about was like the next 15-20 minutes.
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:37.599
Oh my god, if he calls me back, what am I going to do?
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:38.159
But he didn't.
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:40.000
So I mean, crisis averted.
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:40.479
Good.
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:47.840
But my question to you, Lena, since you are in the specifically, specifically you, because Gabriel is not in the dating world right now.
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:49.280
I'm not in the dating world.
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:59.199
When you date someone and you have their number saved in your phone, when you stop, when things end, do you delete them from your contacts or do you leave them?
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:04.000
So I don't even save them.
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:04.400
Okay.
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:14.319
Until I feel like, okay, I'll probably end up seeing this person a couple more times again.
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:16.879
So like if they text you, it's just a number that shows up?
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:22.960
I can pull up a number right now of a man that I've been texting for two weeks now.
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:26.319
But and there's no and it's no it's a straight number.
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:27.919
Hmm.
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:33.199
Okay, so you're strictly only communicating typically with one person at a time, then.
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:36.879
I guess my question is if I'm communicating with Lena.
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.159
Even one is a little bit of a struggle for me.
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:42.560
Like, it's Lena, she doesn't date much.
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:43.919
She says she's dating.
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:45.120
I'm quote.
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:46.000
But she's not.
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:46.879
Like it's Lena.
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:49.680
I mean, I'm like She just said she's been talking to someone for two weeks.
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:50.879
So that's true.
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:59.120
Well, two weeks, except I haven't talked to him in four or five days, so not really two weeks.
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:00.960
It started two weeks ago.
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:01.520
Okay.
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:04.240
Well, I was just I just don't delete them.
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:06.000
I so I do, I save contacts.
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:14.800
I actually no someone that I recently went out with, I he kind of called me out on ReLAF back because I asked him for his last name so I could save him in my phone appropriately.
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:15.039
Yeah.
00:04:15.199 -->
Load full transcript
00:04:19.439
And he was like, You actually save people with first and last names in your phone?
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:20.800
I said, Yeah, I do.
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:22.560
Um, is that weird?
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:25.279
That you save first and last name?
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:25.519
Yeah.
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:26.560
No, not at all.
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:27.120
I don't think so.
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:29.600
I was gonna say, because there's like popular names.
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:29.920
Yeah.
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:30.959
Right.
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:31.759
Right?
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:39.199
I will, however, sometimes um save their name as like, I don't know, say their first name is like Evan.
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:41.120
I'll do Evan Bumble.
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:45.600
Yes, that's so that's what I do until I get their last name, and then I'll go in and change it.
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:49.680
But I mean, Evan Bumble, there could be like five different Evans.
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:52.800
Well, but she's probably not five different Evans.
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:54.800
But she's not talking to five Evans.
00:04:55.120 --> 00:05:03.040
Now, there are some names that I have dated multiple of at the same time, which remember there was some one in particular name that kept coming up at once.
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:05.279
Yeah, there was a couple of them that were like that.
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:05.759
Yeah.
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:08.560
David, Chris, never dated, David.
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:08.959
Tom.
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:09.519
I don't know.
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:10.879
I'm just making up the common names.
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:17.920
And I think that's what it is, is obviously it's like, you know, our generation and the common names from when they're in your same age group.
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:23.839
But so I don't delete them because I think to myself, if by chance they text me, I don't want just this random one.
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:25.519
I don't want to go like, who is this?
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:27.360
To go back to your actual question.
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:28.480
Yes, I agree with that.
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:28.639
Okay.
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:34.319
If I do have their number saved, I never delete it in case they text me or try to call me.
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:36.399
Yes, you know that you don't want to answer.
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:46.160
And I'm like, I didn't want to talk to you back then.
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:48.720
What makes you think that has changed?
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:49.279
Right.
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:49.680
Yeah.
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:50.079
Right.
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:51.519
Then why save the number?
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:57.199
Because if they call you or text you and then then you have to engage, I mean you don't have to, and like, who is this?
00:05:57.360 --> 00:05:57.680
Yeah.
00:05:57.920 --> 00:05:58.319
Right?
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:04.319
Whereas if you know it's John from
Bumble, you can just ignore it, delete it, block it, whatever.
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:04.720
Yeah.
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:16.560
But if she didn't want to have that here's my, I'm just saying, if you didn't want to have that conversation to begin with, and you deleted it and someone talks you a year later, what gives them that right or what makes them think that?
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:21.439
If you just don't answer a random text message, does it matter if it has a name or if it doesn't?
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:29.360
Well, maybe it's someone she knows that she didn't save on her phone or something, or so or sh like I gave her a number to somebody or something, you just don't ever know.
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:36.879
And also for me specifically, I had a thing happen to my phone where I lost all of my contacts and I couldn't restore them.
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:45.600
So at one point in my life, very recently, I've lost everyone that I've like had saved in my phone from high school, middle school.
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:53.519
So, like, if somebody I maybe did want to talk to, one of my friends that I haven't talked to in a long time tried to reach out to me, I wouldn't know their number.
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:57.199
That makes sense, but you wouldn't know them anyway now because you lost all of them.
00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:01.680
But she might want to reconnect with you, is what she's saying instead of John from Bumble.
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:02.480
Yeah.
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:05.120
Anyway, you don't get it because you're married.
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:06.560
You just don't get it.
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:07.519
You just don't get it.
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:19.439
But I'm if you I can see it like you maybe you were interested in them now, but you might be later on, like it's just not the right timing now, or what for whatever situation that they're going through or you're going through, I can see that.
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:28.079
But if you're saying that what makes you think that I I didn't like you now, and and in a year from now, I'm still not gonna like you because I just don't like you.
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:29.680
Why would you save that number?
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:30.879
That's what I'm trying to say.
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:31.839
Well, that's what she's saying.
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:36.959
My yeah, the the number would have already been saved before I realized I didn't like them.
00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:37.680
Right.
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:42.879
Because again, I don't save numbers until I think I might like them.
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:46.240
And then, but then sometimes you change your mind.
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:58.240
I feel like um, listeners, please message us because I do you agree with Gabriella, you just delete them and then you get these random texts, or do you leave them on there so you know who these texts are coming from?
00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:01.120
But if you leave them there, then this shit happens.
00:08:01.360
--> 00:08:17.120
You accidentally butt dial people that you have zero interest in ever connecting with again, and your heart drops, and you're like, See, in that situation, that that particular person, like you're never you could care less, you could care less if he ever texted you again.
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:19.839
No, you would not want him to text you again or call him again.
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:25.360
So, in that situation, to me, I would be like, Iksne, you're deleted, you're gondo, gonzo.
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:27.120
Goodbye, Stanyanara.
00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:27.759
See you later.
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:28.800
Never want to hear from you again.
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:38.240
And then if he texts, if he texts back, if he texts back, you'll be like, you can say who is this because you don't really care.
00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:40.879
No, but I don't even want to ask him who he is.
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:43.039
Oh, well then why would you even answer it then?
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:44.320
Because I want to know who it is.
00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:45.360
Oh my god, thank you.
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:47.279
Oh, I'm with you.
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:47.919
Thank you.
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:48.960
I'm with you.
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:57.759
Um, yeah, so that was my I will say cringe of the week because I I I created my own cringe of the week.
00:08:58.000 --> 00:08:58.879
That was pretty awful.
00:08:59.039 --> 00:08:59.519
That's funny.
00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:05.519
So I don't think I've ever butt dialed like somebody I haven't called recently.
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:05.919
Right?
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:09.279
I I honestly don't know how it was like the universe like fucking with me.
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:11.759
Oh maybe it's meant to be.
00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:13.120
Oh my god.
00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:15.360
Should have deleted that number.
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:17.360
The worst date of the past two years.
00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:18.799
Maybe it was meant to be, Amy.
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:20.960
Well, maybe you should have deleted that number, Amy.
00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:23.120
I think I should now.
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:24.080
Oh why?
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:26.080
I think I'm gonna block that number now.
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:28.000
I didn't text you in a year.
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:35.200
Yeah, I think I think I will be blocking that number now, but anyway.
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:36.720
That's an awesome story.
00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:37.600
Thank you for sharing that.
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:38.320
Yeah, thank you.
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:39.679
It's vulnerable, you know.
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:42.080
I mean, I that's what I do, is I share my vulnerability.
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:43.679
I can't even say that.
00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:44.960
Share it.
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:46.000
Yeah, that's me.
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:47.519
You do.
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:48.799
You're my people.
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:54.320
Oh, if only Gabriella were in the dating world right now.
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:55.840
Can you imagine how many stories are gonna be?
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:57.519
Dating world's not ready for her.
00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:02.720
It's really I don't think the world is ready for Gabriella to be in the dating bunch.
00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:07.039
She would be changing the stories.
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:10.960
Oh my god, dating would be a whole other issue if she were in the game.
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:15.200
Somebody else would be on their podcast being like, listen, I went on the state with a crazy girl.
00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:18.480
I'd be that girl on that podcast story.
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:19.519
That's true.
00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:20.720
I can actually see that.
00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:22.799
I can actually see that.
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:23.519
Thank you.
00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:33.440
I don't I don't think I've ever had any dates where I would be the the the like someone's talking about me on a podcast, but maybe you never know.
00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:35.919
Nothing got me thinking.
00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:38.559
Well, you did throw a phone.
00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:45.120
I I did throw a phone, but that was not the worst part of that date, unfortunately.
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:47.919
That's funny.
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:57.360
Oh, another dating I have a story that I have this week is uh Gabriella had some fun uh swiping on my apps for me this weekend.
00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:00.320
Yeah, uh Bumble It was almost terrifying.
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:01.360
Let me just say that.
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:02.960
Almost terrifying.
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:10.399
Well, here's the deal it's because I'm not I don't have the apps, and so I was so scared to like touch the phone because I was afraid I was gonna do the wrong thing.
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:16.559
I was gonna like swipe the wrong direction, I was going to, but like after a while I got I got into it or whatever.
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:17.600
So yeah.
00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:27.120
So uh Bumble offered me this deal where I could see you know who like who sent me likes because otherwise you just have to wait until you happen to swipe upon somebody that swiped on you, right?
00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:32.399
So Gabriella's going through my list of likes, and um she did she did pretty well.
00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:37.519
Um, and then there was this one that we both agreed, uh-uh, swipe left, right?
00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:42.639
And then after she left for the evening, I noticed he's back in my likes again.
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:43.440
Oh no.
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:45.039
And I'm like, well, that's weird.
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:46.480
And I screenshot it and I sent it to her.
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:48.399
I said, didn't we swipe left on this guy?
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:51.200
And she's like, we did, we definitely did.
00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:55.519
And I and I have seen him before, like a couple months ago, he had done the same thing.
00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:59.279
And so I'm like, uh, I don't know, this is really bizarre.
00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:02.960
And she's like, Well, he's not persistent, maybe give him a shot, you know.
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:03.919
So I'm like, okay, fine.
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:04.799
So I swipe right.
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:06.080
He immediately messages me.
00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:08.240
We're talking like instantaneously.
00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:09.519
Oh, that's a red flag.
00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:10.320
Yeah.
00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:13.679
Sorry, sorry, right?
00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:14.720
I know.
00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:20.320
So um he messages me and I message back, just you know, like, hey, what are you up to?
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:22.000
I asked him about one of his photos.
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:24.000
It was like a sunset, what beach are you at?
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:25.279
And he's like, it's Maui.
00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:27.759
And I said, nice, I love Maui.
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:30.080
And he's like, What are you doing?
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:33.600
I'm like, I'm just hanging out, right?
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:34.159
Just chilling.
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:35.120
And texting you.
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:37.360
And then he's like, Are you bored?
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:40.960
And I immediately was thought to myself, I mean, Alina, what if that comes up?
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:42.000
What are you thinking in your mind?
00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:45.039
Like, what are what are they they're gonna ask you to like meet up that night?
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:46.960
It's like Saturday night at 10 45.
00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:48.799
Yeah, I'm in bed by pajamas.
00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:50.159
That's insane.
00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:52.559
That's insanity.
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:54.879
I mean, I'm like, he's around the same age as I am.
00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:59.279
I'm like, what do you think I'm doing at 11 o'clock on a Saturday night?
00:12:59.919 --> 00:13:00.480
Exactly.
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:03.279
So um, he goes, Are you bored?
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:04.799
And I'm like, no.
00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:06.960
Thanks to you, I'm the Lappie.
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:08.799
He's like, I'm just home in bed.
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:10.879
Oh, I don't like that.
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:11.919
Oh, I don't like that.
00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:13.279
And I'm just like, what?
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:15.759
Like, this isn't like this is bumble.
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:16.960
Don't talk to me about your bed.
00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:18.240
Not Tinder.
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:18.559
Yeah.
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.480
What are I mean like immediately he's going for immediately.
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:24.159
So I ended it with done.
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:26.480
And oh, oh no, I did respond.
00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:29.039
I said, he said, I'm I'm home in bed.
00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:30.720
It was like two separate messages, right?
00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:32.080
I'm home in bed.
00:13:32.720
--> 00:13:38.080
And uh, and I said, sounds like a good place to be on a Saturday night at 1045, and then I blocked him.
00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:38.559
Good.
00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:46.720
Because I'm just like, there is no good can come from we had literally been matched for three minutes, and he's wanting to either sell three minutes in.
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:48.240
It was three minutes.
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:49.919
You know a picture was gonna come so.
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:52.879
That's exactly because bumble allows photos too.
00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:53.600
That's the thing.
00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:57.120
That's one benefit of hinge over bumble is hinge doesn't let you send photos.
00:13:57.360 --> 00:13:58.240
Oh, I didn't know that.
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:02.399
Yeah, there's no way to send photos in Hinge, so um, but Bumble does.
00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:07.600
So it does blur out inappropriate photos, but I don't think I should allow them at all.
00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:08.559
I don't either.
00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:10.000
Like no.
00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:10.799
Yeah.
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:12.000
So I don't know.
00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:18.399
I just I sometimes dating is great.
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:21.120
My mind was like that.
00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:22.159
I don't even know what word to use.
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:23.200
It's not for the week.
00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:24.639
It is not for the week.
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:26.080
And I'm weak.
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:28.799
Lena.
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:30.399
I am weak.
00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:32.159
Lena.
00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:36.639
I am weak, she says.
00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:41.440
Oh, Lena's been on how many dates this year, Lena.
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:43.039
Oh, this year?
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:44.240
This calendar year.
00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:45.679
This calendar year.
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:46.639
Two.
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:51.679
Seriously, just two?
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:52.720
I think.
00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:53.200
Yes.
00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:55.360
And are those the two that we swiped for her?
00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:55.759
Yeah.
00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:56.399
Yeah.
00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:57.279
Yep.
00:14:57.919 --> 00:14:58.480
Lena.
00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:07.440
I do think it's funny though, when Gabrielle was swiping for me, like you were so like once you got over the fear of swiping the wrong direction or touching something.
00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:12.399
Like, yeah, it's kind of like when you're looking at someone else's Instagram, you don't want to like tap anything else.
00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:13.120
Exactly.
00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:13.519
Exactly.
00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:14.720
She was very much like that.
00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:18.559
But once you got over that, it's like she was like giddy about like, oh, you got a match.
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:19.600
Oh, you got a match.
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:29.120
And I thought to myself, this kind of like I miss that like novelty of it, because now it's like it's almost a chore, yeah, to have to even go into the app.
00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:31.919
But like, you know, she's like, oh, it's new and exciting.
00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:35.519
And of course it doesn't matter to you because it matters.
00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:39.120
There was quite a few people I was like, oh no, no, no, no.
00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:40.240
Like, I don't know.
00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:42.799
Oh, you you you did say no to a lot.
00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:44.320
I think out of the to a lot.
00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:45.200
I think there were eight.
00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:55.279
Was there eight matches that you yeah that eight that she said yes to for me, and I think two out of the eight replied.
00:15:55.600 --> 00:16:00.480
That's not including the the last one that I just blocked because him he was after the fact, but yeah.
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:01.440
Question.
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:06.559
When so you when you match with these people, sometimes you message them first.
00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:09.679
What do you say to them?
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:13.039
Because I don't.
00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:16.480
You don't you know I do because we swipe for you.
00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:18.799
Yeah, and you message the guy first for me.
00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:23.919
Yeah, because yeah, you can't honestly I you cannot wait for the man to message.
00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:30.320
It's just yeah, she usually is pretty good at like reading their profile and picking up something on their profile to like asking.
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:31.360
Ask a question about.
00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:37.440
Yeah, usually either one of their prompts or one of their photos, I'll ask a question about just to start the conversation.
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:43.840
So I did that with all eight that Gabriella said, and two out of the eight actually replied.
00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:45.519
The rest just let it expire.
00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:48.720
So that's just rude.
00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:50.559
Well, it's just lazy.
00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:53.360
Or maybe they don't also let them all expire.
00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:55.600
So I can't say that's rude.
00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:56.720
Lena's like, oh.
00:16:57.120 --> 00:16:57.840
That is very true.
00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:08.640
You are that is very much hot calling the kettle black because um I do believe when we picked up your bubble, there was like a whole line of expired matches across the top.
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:09.119
Yes.
00:17:09.359 --> 00:17:11.200
And we're like, what did you do?
00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:13.039
You let all of these expire?
00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:19.039
Well, if when they message first, I message back, but I'm that's why I'm saying you can't you can't wait for them to message first.
00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:21.440
98% of the time, the man won't do it.
00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:26.720
Hence, I've been on two dates that you guys set up this entire year.
00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:28.640
Well, we
okay, we have a lot to make.
00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:31.839
We didn't set up a date for you, but we did kind of get things going.
00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:33.359
Yeah, that's true.
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:36.559
Yeah, we in both situations they asked you on a date.
00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:40.720
Like you could you could message, I've learned you can message a long time and you still wouldn't get a date.
00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:42.160
Right, absolutely.
00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:46.880
So yeah, you gotta you gotta ask out on both cut both of them very quickly.
00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:47.680
Yes.
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:52.400
So anyway, anywho, nothing exciting.
00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:54.079
That's my dating update.
00:17:54.319 --> 00:17:58.240
Nothing too exciting, but maybe a little too exciting with some.
00:17:58.319 --> 00:17:58.960
I don't know.
00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:01.359
Well, thank you for being vulnerable.
00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:06.240
I do appreciate that, and I will share my vulnerable story with you.
00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:09.759
Yes, so um, it's a shoe story.
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:11.359
I know you guys are really excited about it.
00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:15.920
So um I went to work um and I was getting ready.
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:17.680
I can't remember what I was wearing, but I was wearing boots.
00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:18.960
I needed boots to wear.
00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:22.480
I think it was a dress, and um, I was like, oh, these in the back of the closet.
00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:24.480
I haven't worn these boots in forever.
00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:26.319
And there's always a reason.
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:27.359
Always a reason.
00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:29.759
There's always a reason.
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:33.039
So I put them on and I was like, yeah, these boots are good.
00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:38.160
I love these boots, they're really comfortable, they weren't too high, not too low, like they were perfect.
00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:40.799
And I was like, I should wear these more often.
00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:42.880
Like, I can't believe they're in the back of the closet.
00:18:43.039 --> 00:18:54.960
So walk out to the car, drive into work, um, park my car, and I start walking in the garage, and it's a little before seven, and it's there's nobody in the garage, okay?
00:18:55.279 --> 00:19:02.960
And it's it echoes and it's like a pop, pop, pop, pop, and I'm like looking around, like, what is that noise?
00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:05.440
And I stop and it stops.
00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:08.480
So I continue to walk, and it's pop, pop, pop.
00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:10.480
I'm like, oh my god, that's me.
00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:12.480
I'm the popping noise.
00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:16.480
So I get into work and um there's somebody already there, Amber.
00:19:16.559 --> 00:19:23.279
Yeah, and I'm like, Amber, listen to this as I walk in, and she's like, Oh good god, that is really loud.
00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:25.839
And I'm like, I know, they were in the back of the closet.
00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:28.480
Told you, there's a reason.
00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:29.839
How loud was it?
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:31.599
It was loud, it was really, really loud.
00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:32.640
What was it?
00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:34.480
So I don't know what it was.
00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:36.000
At this point, I don't know.
00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:42.319
So um, I have to work and I'm like running around and I'm embarrassed because my shoe is like pop, pop, pop, pop.
00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:50.480
Like I said, I'm walking and running up and down the stairs, and I'm doing all the things, and I come back and it's still before eight, and I'm like, Amber, I don't know what I'm gonna do.
00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:52.160
I have no idea what's happening.
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:54.799
And she's like, Well, let me see what's on the back of your shoe.
00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:56.240
Let's figure it out.
00:19:56.559 --> 00:20:05.440
So apparently on one shoe, the heel has like, you know, it has like a sole on the heel part of it because it's a chunky heel.
00:20:05.519 --> 00:20:05.839
Right.
00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:13.839
Um, it was coming off, so it was like flapping and making it a hollow, so it was making a pop noise every time it like suctioned close and open.
00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:14.799
Exactly.
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:18.319
So I was like, oh, that's horrible.
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:19.680
How am I gonna fix that?
00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:20.880
I can't wear these all day.
00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:22.480
I'm gonna drive myself crazy.
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:28.400
So um I went into our supply closet, I found some velcro strips.
00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:35.599
So I pulled up the tab, put some velcro, and put it down velcro, and then I scotch taped the rest of it, like to the heel to the thing.
00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:43.440
I mean, we're dealing with like a matter of minutes before like majority of people start coming in, and that helped enormously.
00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:45.119
Oh good, yeah, yeah.
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:47.680
And then on the other one, we couldn't figure out what the noise was.
00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:48.720
It was m it wasn't a popping noise.
00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:49.759
Oh, it was doing it on both?
00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:50.559
Both, yeah.
00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:55.680
The other one wasn't like a popping noise, it was more of a squeaking type of a thing, but we couldn't figure out what it was.
00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:58.720
But I was like, that's okay, as long as we're not having the popping noise.
00:20:58.799 --> 00:20:59.920
But how embarrassing.
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:00.720
Oh my god.
00:21:01.119 --> 00:21:01.920
How embarrassing.
00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:03.119
That is very embarrassing.
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:06.480
Like I'm just walking around, like, don't mind me.
00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:12.000
So there must have been a reason that was the reason they they made it their way back to the back of the
closet.
00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:13.680
Yes, however, many years ago.
00:21:13.839 --> 00:21:14.240
Yeah.
00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:16.960
I'm gonna go ahead and point this question back at you.
00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:17.599
Of course.
00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:23.039
If you weren't gonna wear them, as if you aren't gonna date the guy again, why wouldn't you just throw them away?
00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:27.119
Because I do love the booze, and I can definitely take them.
00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:32.079
I told Ryan to my husband, I said, I need to go and get these resold because I do love the boo.
00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:34.000
They're that good that you can okay.
00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:35.599
Yeah, I love the boo.
00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:36.960
They're perfect.
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:37.920
It's a perfect boot.
00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:39.680
I'm on Gabriella's side for this one.
00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:43.039
I'm just flipped lobins today.
00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:51.759
Because I'm like, maybe if I wear it on a different day, maybe it'll be different.
00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:54.880
Or a different surface that's not suctioning too.
00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:55.359
Yeah.
00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:57.680
Well, I mean it was concrete and carpet, and it was making the noise.
00:21:57.920 --> 00:21:59.119
The concrete was making the noise too.
00:21:59.279 --> 00:21:59.759
I mean, it was super.
00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:04.160
It echoed like in the garage because there was like no cars there, you know.
00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:09.680
And I was like, like, and when I stopped and it stopped, and I waited for a little bit, and I was like, huh, huh?
00:22:09.839 --> 00:22:10.400
That's so funny.
00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:12.640
And I started and I was like, Oh my god, it's me.
00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:13.680
I'm that person.
00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:14.559
I was so embarrassed.
00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:15.200
So embarrassed.
00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:16.319
I'm the problem, it's me.
00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:17.039
It's me.
00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:18.720
I'm the problem, yes.
00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:21.279
Um, that happened to me too.
00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:26.000
It wasn't a loud popping noise, but it's actually shoes that I have at work right now.
00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:41.920
I wear them once in a while because it's not that loud, but it kind of sounds like um like the carpet under me is just popped up a little bit, and you know, when you step on little like pockets of air on carpets, it makes like like that scares.
00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:51.359
Yeah, so it makes that sound, and so I was wearing it for several days actually, and I was like, man, the carpets in this new building really suck.
00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:55.359
They did a terrible job like laying down these carpets or whatever.
00:22:55.920 --> 00:23:00.000
It took me a really long time to be like, hey, that's me.
00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:05.359
I don't feel that.
00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:07.039
Again, I'm the problem.
00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:09.759
I feel that to my core.
00:23:09.839 --> 00:23:12.240
Yeah, I absolutely feel that.
00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:15.039
So, and I love those shoes, so I'm not gonna get rid of them.
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:16.880
I'll take the popping.
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:19.359
You'll take the popping.
00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:20.160
I'll take the popping.
00:23:20.319 --> 00:23:22.000
Alright, fair enough.
00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:26.960
Um, so last week you talked about your smoke detector.
00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:27.759
Two weeks ago.
00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:28.720
Two weeks ago, sorry.
00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:32.240
Or last episode, episode nine, you talked about your smoke detector.
00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:32.799
Yes.
00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:36.240
Um so I have a smoke detector story.
00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:42.640
Um my mom called me and she's like, you need to come over to the house.
00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:43.839
This is recently.
00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:44.559
Oh yeah.
00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:45.839
This week.
00:23:46.720 --> 00:23:52.960
You need to come over to the house because there is a beeping noise, and I think it's the house alarm.
00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:56.880
So on my lunch break, I went over.
00:23:57.759 --> 00:24:01.039
Actually, I think I was wearing those boots, to be honest.
00:24:01.519 --> 00:24:04.000
Or she hearing your boots from far away.
00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:06.640
Um it was a great day that day.
00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:11.279
Because I actually have another story regarding that same day, but I'll just show you.
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:16.160
Um, so I went and um it was not her alarm.
00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:22.400
It sounded like a smoke detector, but I was on my lunch break and I didn't have time to try and figure out where it was.
00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:27.920
So I told her I would be back after my lunch break, or after I was off of work.
00:24:28.480 --> 00:24:30.720
So we'll go to the other story.
00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:41.920
Um went back to work and then on afterwards I was driving back to my mom's house and um was listening to some really good 90s music.
00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:47.359
Okay, and I was doing karaoke in my car.
00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:48.720
Of course, don't we all do that?
00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:49.839
Yeah, don't we all do that?
00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:51.119
Karaoke.
00:24:51.599 --> 00:25:02.160
And I look over, and there is a girl singing the exact same song as I was singing, and so I rolled down my window, she rolled down hers, and we were belting out the song together.
00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:03.519
Just random day.
00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:04.880
Randomness.
00:25:05.119 --> 00:25:05.759
I don't know about you.
00:25:05.839 --> 00:25:07.759
Lena, do those things happen to you?
00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:10.400
Never things like have never happened to me.
00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:15.680
If I were belting a song out in my car and someone pulled up next to me, it would not be.
00:25:16.160 --> 00:25:18.160
It would be
someone giving me like insane.
00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:21.759
And I would just quickly go, not I'm not singing, I don't know what you're talking about.
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:22.640
Oh, it was great.
00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:23.359
It was so funny.
00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:24.160
We both laughed about it.
00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:25.759
We were like, haha, funny.
00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:27.359
So it was on the radio.
00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:28.240
It was on the radio.
00:25:28.400 --> 00:25:33.200
Okay, because I was like, what are the chances you're playing the song on your phone and then the car next to you is so much.
00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:37.599
So this woman was more RH, she was listening to the radio, not streaming something, yes.
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:38.799
Of course, of course.
00:25:39.039 --> 00:25:39.839
And so it was fun.
00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:43.119
It was like um maybe like 35 seconds, if that.
00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:44.079
That's very cute.
00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:46.240
And um, so I was going back to my mom's house.
00:25:46.319 --> 00:25:52.400
So I'm at my mom's house and I'm listening to it, and she's adamant that it's her security alarm.
00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:54.799
And I'm like, it doesn't sound like it's coming from there.
00:25:54.960 --> 00:26:01.839
So I get on the phone and I'm with the securities company, and after like an hour, they've determined that it's not them.
00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:02.480
Alright.
00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:05.279
And um, so I'm like, yeah, I've kind of figured that too.
00:26:05.359 --> 00:26:12.400
So and I'm looking, and I'm looking over over by the garage, I'm looking over in her kitchen, I'm looking everywhere, and I cannot find it.
00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:24.559
And so I tell um my son comes over and he's looking, and we pretty much have guaranteed like looked at this one little area of the house, and it's like towards um her dining area that goes into the garage.
00:26:24.640 --> 00:26:28.160
Okay, and we are looking, looking, looking, and we can't find it.
00:26:28.400 --> 00:26:29.440
We cannot find it.
00:26:29.599 --> 00:26:40.400
And my mom now has company over at her house, and so um, which is really super annoying, and the beeping is, and um, but I can't really tear apart her house because she's got company at the house.
00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:40.640
Right.
00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:45.920
So so um I tell her I'll do it when they leave.
00:26:46.640 --> 00:26:53.519
Um, they don't leave, they stay the night, and um, so the next day they go to breakfast, and so I'm like, oh, they're gone.
00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:55.519
I'm gonna be able to rip apart the whole house.
00:26:55.680 --> 00:27:01.519
And so I get like halfway through ripping trying to figure out where this noise is coming from, and they come home.
00:27:01.680 --> 00:27:06.000
So I have to like put it all away, put it back into it, and then whatever.
00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:10.160
So now we're on Sunday, so now it's been Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
00:27:10.319 --> 00:27:11.039
So it's Sunday now.
00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:12.559
The entire weekend, yeah.
00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:19.119
There's still this beeping noise, and so it's Sunday afternoon, and my husband has come home from hunting, and we are still looking for it.
00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:26.720
We are looking for this fire smoke alarm, whatever it's called, carbon monoxide alarm something, right?
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:28.079
Something is beeping.
00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:37.279
So um my husband's like pulling out the china hutch, and I'm like, I think it's inside the china hutch, and he's like, Why would it be inside the china hutch?
00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:39.039
I'm like, I don't know, but I feel like it is.
00:27:39.359 --> 00:27:46.160
So I I take things out and I start taking things and more and more things out, and lo and behold, there it is.
00:27:46.319 --> 00:27:56.640
There is a smoke detector in one of the cupboards of the China Hatch because everyone stores smoke detectors in their China Hatch, don't you?
00:27:58.720 --> 00:28:03.119
So the story gets better, and I'm relieved that it's there.
00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:04.960
My mom is relieved, everything it's good, right?
00:28:05.039 --> 00:28:05.759
We're all good with it.
00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:24.319
So Monday I am working from home and I decide that I'm going to put something on the TV so that I can concentrate and because I need some some white noise, and I put on the show Nobody Wants This is on Netflix, and I'm um working and I hear the beeping noise.
00:28:24.640 --> 00:28:26.160
And I'm like, Are you kidding me?
00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:29.839
I have a smoke detector that's going out in my house as well.
00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:35.039
So I go to our smoke detectors, all of them, and they're not beeping.
00:28:35.359 --> 00:28:39.680
I'm in the bathroom, I'm like everywhere in the house, and I'm like, where is this coming from?
00:28:39.839 --> 00:28:43.039
I go upstairs, it's not there, and I'm like, this is absolutely ridiculous.
00:28:43.119 --> 00:28:47.920
So I come back down to the T and then where the TV's at and where my computer is at, and I hear it again.
00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:52.079
And I'm like, seriously, thinking I'm going crazy.
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:58.960
And then I stop and I listen to the TV, and they're talking about the smoke alarm on the TV.
00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:04.319
So this whole time, this whole time, I'm looking for the smoke detector.
00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:05.759
It's actually on TV.
00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:07.279
Oh my god.
00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:09.920
I thought I was going crazy, Lena.
00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:11.039
You were kind of going crazy.
00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:12.240
Oh my god.
00:29:12.559 --> 00:29:13.519
That's exactly what was happening.
00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:27.119
In your defense, I saw that episode last night, and it's the mother and a daughter talking and just holding on a conversation while the
chirping is happening and they're not talking about it.
00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:27.839
Yes.
00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:35.519
For like a good several minutes of the episode, this chirping is happening and neither of them are acknowledging it.
00:29:35.759 --> 00:29:37.359
So thank you for that.
00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:37.599
Yeah.
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:39.119
It makes me feel like that's so bad.
00:29:39.359 --> 00:29:41.039
I will come to your defense on that.
00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:43.759
But there is nothing worse than a chirping smoke detector.
00:29:43.920 --> 00:29:44.240
I agree.
00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:49.039
That either you can't figure out which one it is, right, or you can't get to it.
00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:49.440
Right.
00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:53.519
And my old house, it was a very large house with these 20-foot ceilings.
00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:54.319
Oh no.
00:29:54.559 --> 00:29:56.400
And how do you even get to those?
00:29:56.640 --> 00:29:59.119
Oh, really awful ladders.
00:29:59.519 --> 00:30:05.839
But um the last several years that we owned the house, uh, my ex did not live there.
00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:11.279
It was just me in this very large house with 1,300 square foot on the main floor of hardwood floor.
00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:14.480
So chirping really echoes on that floor, okay?
00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:21.440
So the foyer's 20-foot, and then the den and the living room are 12-foot ceilings.
00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:30.160
And after much determination in the middle of the night, I determined that it was the one in the den.
00:30:30.400 --> 00:30:32.559
So, oh no, it wasn't just chirping.
00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:38.559
What happened was our power went out, and that battery in that one was dead.
00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:48.240
And so, what happens when these hardwired smoke detectors, when your power goes out and the battery is no good, it goes off.
00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:49.680
Your smoke alarm goes off.
00:30:49.920 --> 00:30:50.799
It's not a chirping.
00:30:51.440 --> 00:30:52.319
So it's 2 a.m.
00:30:52.640 --> 00:31:04.000
And my daughter, who was probably 18 at the time, was living with me, and we are like pitch black out in the country, no lights except the flashlights that we have.
00:31:04.240 --> 00:31:13.519
We're managed to get a ladder out of the garage and into a setup, and it was this god-awful ladder, not just like a normal eight-frame ladder.
00:31:13.759 --> 00:31:17.839
It was one that my ex had bought that had like it was made to go every which way, right?
00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:23.440
Oh my god, so you have to unfold it and flip this and flip that and flip it and move it and gratch it this way.
00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:24.400
In the dark.
00:31:24.640 --> 00:31:25.839
In the dark.
00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:32.319
And my daughter and I are just like, we're both swearing like we would not believe.
00:31:32.880 --> 00:31:35.599
And we finally, we finally get it.
00:31:35.759 --> 00:31:49.759
I climb all the way up, and it's still not even tall enough to like, you know, I mean, I'm at like the second to top rung, and I'm still reaching up to get this thing in the dark with a flashlight, so I can open it and change the dam battery.
00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:53.200
So I don't know who designed those things.
00:31:54.480 --> 00:31:54.960
A man.
00:31:55.599 --> 00:32:02.960
But I very much wanted to call the I wanted to call the fire department, which I believe your mom wanted to do at one point too during this whole mess.
00:32:03.119 --> 00:32:14.160
I very much wanted to make to request a very handsome fireman come to my house and change this for me in the middle of the night, in the pitch black, and it was literally blaring.
00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:15.680
And you cannot think when those things are.
00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:16.480
No, you can't.
00:32:17.440 --> 00:32:17.759
You can't.
00:32:17.839 --> 00:32:20.480
My mom was like, Gabriela, just call the firemen's.
00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:21.519
Yes, call the firemen.
00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:23.759
Call the firemen's, they will come and they'll tell you where it is.
00:32:23.839 --> 00:32:25.119
I'm like, no, mom, they won't.
00:32:25.440 --> 00:32:26.079
They will not tell you.
00:32:26.400 --> 00:32:28.799
You're not gonna know it's in your notch.
00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:31.759
She's like, yes, they will.
00:32:31.839 --> 00:32:32.400
They have to know.
00:32:32.559 --> 00:32:33.440
They have to know that words.
00:32:33.680 --> 00:32:34.880
I'm like, how would they know?
00:32:35.119 --> 00:32:36.799
Unless it's the one that's installed.
00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:38.799
How would they know?
00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:44.960
So my my called my brother and had him on the speaker, and he's like, good God, don't do that.
00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:45.680
Don't do that.
00:32:45.920 --> 00:32:47.119
Don't call the firemen's.
00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:48.480
Don't call the firemen's.
00:32:48.720 --> 00:32:50.960
Don't because your brother was a fireman's.
00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:51.680
He is.
00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:53.440
He is a fireman's.
00:32:54.079 --> 00:32:55.039
Please do not.
00:32:55.119 --> 00:32:56.640
We don't like those calls.
00:32:58.240 --> 00:32:59.680
Can you imagine if I did?
00:32:59.920 --> 00:33:00.720
Maybe lady.
00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:02.559
We don't know where it's chirping from.
00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:07.920
My fear is that I'll end up like your mom when I'm older.
00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:12.319
I'm just gonna end up with a random fire alarm somewhere deep in my dick.
00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:15.279
Just go beeping off, chirping.
00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:17.119
The chirping is the worst though.
00:33:17.200 --> 00:33:18.960
I just, yeah, all of it's horrible.
00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:21.119
A little PTSD from the TV show, not gonna lie.
00:33:21.440 --> 00:33:23.599
Yeah, yes, because you called me.
00:33:24.799 --> 00:33:27.359
You did call me right after you you were laughing though.
00:33:27.680 --> 00:33:31.839
Oh yeah, I was laughing hysterically because I was like, oh my gosh, like what are the chances of that?
00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:38.400
Like, I was literally thinking that I was losing my mind because what are the chances that my fire alarm or my smoke detectors would be like?
00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:40.720
Honestly, the chances are good for you, just so you know.
00:33:41.039 --> 00:33:41.599
It is true.
00:33:42.079 --> 00:33:42.559
It is true.
00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:47.839
When my ex and I were dividing up all stuff from the house, he asked if I wanted that ladder.
00:33:48.640 --> 00:33:49.200
What?
00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:52.319
My daughter and I immediately at the same time said, no.
00:33:54.559 --> 00:33:58.160
I do not blame your stupid ladder.
00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:02.000
This one a normal ladder.
00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:04.960
You know, just opens and closes, just like that.
00:34:06.559 --> 00:34:07.440
That's funny.
00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:11.039
Oh my goodness.
00:34:11.360 --> 00:34:12.239
Too funny.
00:34:12.880 --> 00:34:17.840
Listeners, uh, I would like you all to know that we are sitting here in costume tonight.
00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:18.400
Yes.
00:34:18.639 --> 00:34:22.159
Uh, in honor of the upcoming holiday.
00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:24.880
Uh, what are you two doing for Halloween?
00:34:26.000 --> 00:34:27.679
I'm giving out candy.
00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:28.320
Oh.
00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:31.760
I'll be consuming candy.
00:34:32.079 --> 00:34:33.440
You're not giving any candy.
00:34:33.840 --> 00:34:36.320
You're gonna stay in your house with your lights off.
00:34:36.559 --> 00:34:38.400
I was like, oh, you're gonna be trick-or-treating?
00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:40.320
I want to come trick-or-treating at your house.
00:34:41.519 --> 00:34:43.039
I'm giving away full-size candy bars.
00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:45.360
I was just gonna say, I you can trick-or-treat here too.
00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:47.440
I have full-size candy bars.
00:34:48.159 --> 00:34:52.000
Um, click the description below to see their addresses.
00:34:52.159 --> 00:34:53.119
I'll drop it in there.
00:34:53.360 --> 00:34:55.360
Hi everybody, come see us.
00:34:56.079 --> 00:34:59.360
Not my house, but I'll leave their addresses.
00:34:59.679 --> 00:35:06.400
Last year was my first year in this house, and before that, like I said, I lived in the boonies, so I didn't have any trick-or-treaters.
00:35:06.480 --> 00:35:10.480
So I had over 60 here last year, which was pretty awesome.
00:35:10.880 --> 00:35:11.920
So I'm prepared.
00:35:12.320 --> 00:35:19.519
I have lived in the same house for like 20-some years, and um we never have any trick-or-treaters.
00:35:19.599 --> 00:35:22.639
Like we the most we had last year was I think 16.
00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:22.960
Oh.
00:35:23.440 --> 00:35:27.039
And so I got lights on the house, I've decorated it all up.
00:35:27.360 --> 00:35:32.800
I was gonna say, and it's so strange because Gabriella lives in the neighborhood that
she and I grew up in.
00:35:33.599 --> 00:35:36.320
And that do you remember Halloween in the neighborhood?
00:35:36.639 --> 00:35:40.639
Like, yes, we're talking just hordes of children walking down those streets.
00:35:40.880 --> 00:35:41.840
Yeah, nightmare.
00:35:42.079 --> 00:35:43.360
Um, yeah, right?
00:35:43.599 --> 00:35:44.079
I know.
00:35:44.239 --> 00:35:46.480
Um, and so for you go they go by our house.
00:35:46.719 --> 00:35:52.079
And then also, you I was gonna say, you have so many Halloween decorations out every year, and it's amazing at your place.
00:35:52.159 --> 00:35:55.039
It's it's just crazy to me that you don't get they go by our house.
00:35:55.199 --> 00:35:56.480
They skip our house.
00:35:56.559 --> 00:35:57.760
I'm like, oh man.
00:35:58.639 --> 00:35:58.960
I know.
00:35:59.199 --> 00:36:03.679
But the people just um to that, they're like, oh my gosh, she's giving away full-sized candy bars.
00:36:03.760 --> 00:36:04.480
I'm like, I know.
00:36:04.639 --> 00:36:11.199
It's just really street because I live on a flag lot, and you wouldn't think that I'd get very many trick-or-treaters at Ottawa and I had over 60, so it's very strange.
00:36:11.440 --> 00:36:13.119
Is Ryan out there looking scary?
00:36:13.440 --> 00:36:13.599
No.
00:36:13.840 --> 00:36:15.920
He's like, Stay away, I want the candy for myself.
00:36:16.159 --> 00:36:17.119
Stay out of my yard.
00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:18.960
Ryan doesn't even answer the door.
00:36:19.119 --> 00:36:19.280
Oh.
00:36:19.599 --> 00:36:23.199
Well, he maybe he's like watching a movie or something.
00:36:23.360 --> 00:36:27.360
He doesn't like he doesn't answer the it's always me that answers the door.
00:36:27.440 --> 00:36:29.679
I turn off all my lights and pretend I'm not home.
00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:33.760
I mean, eventually, when it gets kind of late, I will do that.
00:36:33.840 --> 00:36:34.719
But it's on a Saturday night.
00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:38.000
It's on a Saturday night, and it's time change night.
00:36:38.079 --> 00:36:39.360
Yeah, like savings change.
00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:40.079
Yeah, right?
00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:41.360
Same, yeah.
00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:47.280
And yeah, so anyway, I will be handing out candy as well.
00:36:47.440 --> 00:36:50.480
Um, and you're welcome to trick-or-treat here, Lena.
00:36:50.639 --> 00:36:51.599
If you'd like to leave your house.
00:36:52.159 --> 00:36:52.880
Yeah, you're welcome to do that.
00:36:52.960 --> 00:36:56.880
If you'd like some full size, or I can just send you with some full-size candy because you are dressed up today.
00:36:57.119 --> 00:36:57.519
I am.
00:36:57.599 --> 00:37:01.840
I am trick or treat to she is trick-or-treating right now.
00:37:02.079 --> 00:37:05.280
So there will be a photo of us on our social media.
00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:07.519
Should we tell them what we're dressed up as?
00:37:08.719 --> 00:37:09.280
Sure.
00:37:09.519 --> 00:37:10.159
I mean.
00:37:11.039 --> 00:37:11.679
Should
we not?
00:37:11.840 --> 00:37:12.559
No, absolutely.
00:37:12.719 --> 00:37:13.679
What are you dressed up as?
00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:14.400
Lena?
00:37:14.639 --> 00:37:16.079
I'm dressed up as Stitch.
00:37:16.480 --> 00:37:18.480
From Lilo and Stitch.
00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:29.119
And is that an official Halloween costume or is it one of those like Snuggies that is like the Disney?
00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:30.400
These are sweatpants.
00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:32.239
Oh, it's sweatpants, okay.
00:37:32.719 --> 00:37:33.039
Okay.
00:37:33.280 --> 00:37:35.199
Um, there's it does look cozy.
00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:37.679
That's the perfect kind of Halloween costume, actually.
00:37:38.079 --> 00:37:38.800
Thank you, thank you.
00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:39.920
It is very cozy.
00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:40.800
It's got pockets.
00:37:41.199 --> 00:37:43.199
Gabriella, what are you dressed up as?
00:37:43.360 --> 00:37:45.440
I am dressed up as a hippie.
00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:47.199
And are you a hippie?
00:37:47.920 --> 00:37:48.880
I mean, I don't know.
00:37:49.119 --> 00:37:50.320
You look like a damn good hippie right now.
00:37:50.559 --> 00:37:50.800
Thank you.
00:37:50.880 --> 00:37:51.840
I appreciate your costume.
00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:52.639
You look the part.
00:37:52.880 --> 00:37:55.920
You really're a little too cuckoo to be a hippie.
00:37:56.480 --> 00:37:57.760
I think in the best way.
00:37:57.920 --> 00:38:00.320
I was like, I think it's out of love.
00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:01.920
I think hippies were cuckoo.
00:38:02.159 --> 00:38:02.960
Make love not work.
00:38:03.280 --> 00:38:03.840
Yeah.
00:38:04.960 --> 00:38:05.280
No.
00:38:05.840 --> 00:38:08.480
You're not you're not like chill enough to be a hippie.
00:38:08.639 --> 00:38:08.960
Oh.
00:38:09.199 --> 00:38:12.079
I think you're like You need to smoke a little more marijuana.
00:38:12.239 --> 00:38:15.360
Yeah, Mary Jay's a little Mary Jane.
00:38:16.159 --> 00:38:19.599
I actually had to use the Google, googlay it.
00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:20.400
How makeup.
00:38:21.119 --> 00:38:27.280
Yeah, I had to googlay it to see how women in the 70s, hippies in the 70s put their makeup on.
00:38:27.440 --> 00:38:31.760
Because I wasn't sure if it was like all natural or if it was a lot of makeup.
00:38:31.840 --> 00:38:32.880
And it was a lot of makeup.
00:38:33.199 --> 00:38:34.400
Dedicated to the craft.
00:38:34.639 --> 00:38:35.679
I know I was.
00:38:35.840 --> 00:38:39.440
Well, partly because I couldn't see in the glasses that I was wearing.
00:38:41.119 --> 00:38:43.599
So well, you did great.
00:38:43.760 --> 00:38:44.159
Thank you.
00:38:44.320 --> 00:38:44.800
Appreciate it.
00:38:44.880 --> 00:38:46.079
I did amazing.
00:38:46.480 --> 00:38:47.199
Thank you.
00:38:47.519 --> 00:38:50.239
And Amy, what are you dressed up as?
00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:50.960
I am Mrs.
00:38:51.039 --> 00:38:55.599
Roper, and I would like to say that Lena showed up here tonight not knowing who Mrs.
00:38:55.760 --> 00:38:56.719
Roper is.
00:38:56.960 --> 00:39:01.039
So for those of you who don't know, Google Mrs.
00:39:01.199 --> 00:39:06.079

00:39:06.239 --> 00:39:07.760
So you'll know all about it.
00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:10.000
And you'll see why I choose to be.
00:39:17.519 --> 00:39:18.559
And I don't sing, so.
00:39:18.960 --> 00:39:20.639
Amy's gonna do a Broadway musical.
00:39:22.239 --> 00:39:22.559
Mrs.
00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:24.320
Robert, the musical.
00:39:25.840 --> 00:39:28.719
Ladies and gents, you heard it here first.
00:39:29.119 --> 00:39:32.239
We'll do a um certifiably awkward spin-off.
00:39:32.639 --> 00:39:33.039
Yes.
00:39:33.280 --> 00:39:33.440
Yeah.
00:39:33.679 --> 00:39:37.199
And we'll do a certifiably awkward, the musical.
00:39:37.360 --> 00:39:38.400
Yeah, the musical.
00:39:38.719 --> 00:39:39.199
Good lord.
00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:41.119
You know how much I hate musicals.
00:39:41.360 --> 00:39:42.000
I love music.
00:39:42.320 --> 00:39:43.840
Why do you hate musicals?
00:39:44.480 --> 00:39:47.119
I have never liked musical theater.
00:39:47.440 --> 00:39:51.679
Ladies and gentlemen, Amy does not like dad jokes or musicals.
00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:54.960
And there are my people out there right now listening to this going.
00:39:55.360 --> 00:39:57.360
No, you guys are all lame.
00:39:58.320 --> 00:39:59.679
Party poopers.
00:40:00.320 --> 00:40:01.360
Two thumbs down.
00:40:03.199 --> 00:40:06.800
Did I not turn a rap song into a Broadway musical earlier?
00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:07.599
You did.
00:40:08.079 --> 00:40:10.320
So I mean there's a time and a place, but.
00:40:10.719 --> 00:40:11.920
She did turn T.I.
00:40:12.079 --> 00:40:14.880
into a Broadway musical earlier, so.
00:40:15.360 --> 00:40:19.599
And my people are not gonna know what that is, so I just need to point that out.
00:40:19.760 --> 00:40:24.400
Um thank you again, listeners.
00:40:24.880 --> 00:40:26.320

00:40:30.639 --> 00:40:31.360
Yes, thank you for listening.
00:40:31.760 --> 00:40:33.039
Awkward as they may have been.
00:40:33.199 --> 00:40:33.360
Yeah.
00:40:33.519 --> 00:40:34.159
We hope you laugh.
00:40:34.480 --> 00:40:34.639
Yes.
00:40:35.039 --> 00:40:37.519
Listening to SIAP all the time about nothing.
00:40:38.719 --> 00:40:40.559
Apparently, we're interesting.
00:40:41.519 --> 00:40:43.440
And if you want to join us, let us know.
00:40:43.599 --> 00:40:43.920
Yeah.
00:40:44.079 --> 00:40:51.519
We would love a guest, we would love a story, we would love something to share on this podcast besides our own awkward stories.
00:40:51.760 --> 00:40:54.000
So, because Gabriella's running out of awkwardness.
00:40:54.239 --> 00:40:55.519
I don't know about that.
00:40:56.239 --> 00:40:57.840
I'm very vulnerable.
00:40:59.039 --> 00:41:00.000
Stop it.
00:41:01.599 --> 00:41:02.719
Very vulnerable.
00:41:03.519 --> 00:41:04.239
That's it.
00:41:04.400 --> 00:41:05.679
Have a good one, everyone.
00:41:05.920 --> 00:41:06.320
Bye.
00:41:06.800 --> 00:41:07.440
Bye.
