Things That Piss Us Off: Drive-Thrus, Scratch-Offs & TSA! (sometimes...) の全文書き起こし

in scratch off tickets. That's like what you buy at Christmas time to put in people's stockings. ⁓ somebody's keeping that lottery running. But then, like, I started thinking about house like, okay, I know that we like you can drop 75 Easy on. We are all addicted to something. Yes. That's this is why I tell people, because in the field of work I do, we have to talk about. s do you smoke? Yeah. You know, and people kind of like you know, kinda get a little hesitant and they're like, they don't want to be judged. And I I tell You're like, look, I love a smoker. Listen for one, I love a smoker. Okay. In fact today, ⁓ another coworker I work with ⁓ came out of a room and she goes, You would have loved that patient because it smells like a marble lot in there and I was like, give me all those patients. But what I'm saying is is like I tell those people That I say, you know what? I eat cheese tater tots and they clog my arteries like it's nobody's I drink wheat beer that has sugar in it. I'm not comparing cigarette smoke, cheese tater tots, but I am. But it all is a vice. I always say it's a vice. Like we all have vices that are bad for us. Yeah. However, I think in my head, if I'm gonna spend $75, I wanna at least get my money's worth of it. Yeah. And so that is such a I just have never understood gambling. Yeah, no. While we're on this topic of what pisses us off. okay. I love this. I have one from this morning as well. Okay. So Justin comes in a rare occasion, comes to me and he's raring to go this morning and is like, Hey, I thought you might go get us a Starbucks. I'm like, Okay. Has he been hitting the No, I don't know. But he was just like he was craving some coffee, a specific flat white, you know. So I was like, okay, yes, I'll go get that. Of course you so yeah. So I went. Or she knows You know. ⁓ Wait, let me tell you what I mean on my math midterm. What? No girl, you did it! That's a way to be girl! And that is my C plus students. ⁓ no, you're my C plus. C minus. C minus. I love you, gotta go. Be Her face. I wish we could get a we need a screenshot of we need to record them to put her face on the screen when we do it. So okay. Okay, so what pissed me off? So I'll go to Starbucks. I'm like, okay, ordered a head, paid on the app. Okay. Had some points, you know, from traveling. Star. So it might only give me twenty one cents, but star. I know. So then I go up there and I get in line. There's one lady in front of me, and I can tell that she's gonna be a problem. Wait. So you go actually I go through the drive-thru. Okay. I was like, and there's actually one vehicle in front of me. Okay. It is a an elderly woman. Okay. And I can tell she's gonna be a problem from the get-go. How do you know she was elderly? I could see her in her mirror. Okay. Okay. And then it was further proven later on. Okay. So what had happened was So I'm sitting there and I'm in Justin's truck and I'm trying to get up to the speaker to tell them that I have a call in order. I mean I have a mobile order. Just easy. You don't even have to do anything. I love it. You just had to make it mobile order, give it to me. Yes. This woman. There's about there's about two cars in front of her. And they've pulled up where there's enough room for her to pull up where I can get to this to the screen. To the speaker. Yeah, to the speaker. She stops at the menu. And studies it. No. After she made her order for a good three minutes. Like what was she gonna do? Change her order? She wasn't even at the speaker. ⁓ She was past the speaker, looking at it. And so I Honked. No worse. I said, I'm sorry, the woman in front of me won't move, so I can't get to the speaker. That's what I did. ⁓ That's what I did. I don't feel so bad about judging my Because the lady at Starbucks was like, Hi, how can I help you? I thought this is my big opportunity to get her ass to move. Okay. So I was like, I'm sorry, I can't quite reach you. The woman in front of me is reading the menu. Meanwhile, that woman's probably subscribed to her old lady Fabric stuff. And it shamed her enough to move. She moves. I mean, that is shameful. And then it sh she wasn't so terrible in the drive through, like once she did that part. Okay. The person in front of her took forever, but I don't know whose fault that was. So I'm not like lay leaning blame or anything. Laying blame. But so then she pulls out and she goes through the chili's parking lot and I'm like, okay. I I like got mine immediately. She's going to get off the service road. No, I know that's how I go. Yeah. I would go that way normally too, but I was like, Absolutely not. Because I she just handed me my order. I'm done. I'm gone. Yes. So I'm pulling out and I'm like, I'm not going behind her. So I pull out and it's a red light, but it's about to turn green. So then there's a semi in front of me, like a gas tanker, you know. So he turns. So then I'm like, okay, I'm turning. Well, here she comes, barreling out in front of everybody in the lane. So then we pass McDonald's, and you know that curve. Yes. And she goes on that curve. So y'all are on Mockingbird together. Yeah. And she's going at a pretty good club. You know, she's she's not She doesn't have a menu to review now. Yeah, she's not being terrible. Okay. Then I get behind her on that road to get to back to my, you know, to get home. She is weaving all over the road, twenty miles an hour. She was middle, side, mid. I got video. I have video evidence. I took vi I just s held my video camera up and said, This is the shit I'm dealing with. Trying to get to Starbucks and home. I'll bleep that. This is what I'm dealing with. I mean I was and I Literally prayed out loud about three whole minutes on the way home about Lord take away these evil thoughts out of my head. Please, Lord, keep the sharp tongue from lashing out at people. Please, God, please. I just need your strength. Please, Lord, you're the only one that can do it. That's what I did this morning.

So out loud, audibly. One thing I will say about you is I feel like your trigger. Is a drive thru. Yeah, well it's people being rude and not underst not caring about the people around them and what they're doing. But it's always in a drive thru scenario. It's really a dri drive thrus really are a trigger. Drive through anger. You need some drive through anger range. Drive through rage. You have drive through rage. Like I could see you on a level. Well don't rage against the people that are I mean it depends on their behavior, but most of the time I love a drive-thru worker because I used to work drive-thru. So I'm like, I don't like your drink. Well, I mean be don't be rude. I just paid a million dollars for I know but you just said you're never mad at the drive-thru workers. But you do. But but I do get mad at them, but I don't lash out at them. I lash out maybe on my podcast about them. What is I can do that. In the f in the how long have we been friends? Like I I was actually someone asked me that today. What play? It was Mary Poppins. It was Mary Poppins. Was that 2019? I feel like that was Okay, because I feel like we've just been friends forever. I know. But I I feel like every time you have been angry, like where you have lashed out, has been in a drive-thru. It has. Like when we were in Boston and we stopped through the McDonald's and you were Upset because they didn't give you enough ketchup. Yeah. I mean it enrages me whenever I guess because customer service is important and you can't get it anywhere. And I've heard this so much lately, of course. Like we all have, we see it, we know. But it's like when you try so hard to bend over backwards for people, yes, and then you like in what you do in your job, and then you go smart and I understand that they are working a crappy ass job. Okay, but I will tell you this right now. And and this is But I did that too, and I never did that. And I I mean like power to you. But I'm gonna say this. Do you know that that there are people who work in the food industry, drive through like McDonald's, Burger King? Do you know that there are people in those positions, not all of them, that make almost as much, if not more? than some teachers. ⁓ now that it so honestly they can't Be still my heart. They can't say things like They don't get paid anything. Well ⁓ this is the sad part and this is nothing against ⁓ any kind of like I could almost go work at Buccee's and make more money. I I know. I know. Like Buccee's all you have to do is say Hey, welcome in I can help you right here. I wouldn't Gimme the beaver costume, I'm in. That was a good mascot. That was a great mascot. my god. I'd take on a part time job for Christmas. But I'll get you two monotone. Hang on. Hang on. We can both be in the Buccee's uniform. We could carpool together. We would be so good. No, you would be viral sensations at Bucky. The good thing about if we were Buccee's mascots. We wanted mascots. That would be the only position I could be because then you wouldn't see my facial expression. Yeah, so then I could like whoever you want. I could be whoever I wanted to be. I could have That's what I love about being a mascot. You can do whatever you can be whoever you want. Yeah, because someone the other day was like, You literally I mean like it's not even a lie. Like you cannot fix your face. Yeah, no. No, you you don't. Like I I I am not a good liar. Yeah, no, I'm not any liar. I'm not a great liar. No, I mean in a I mean call it bluff. I can't be bluff. I'm not a good liar, but I'm also I'm kind of I can I can be good at bullshitting you. Like I can definitely like Yeah, you can keep a something going. I can keep something going. However, I'm not good at like if you saw me, you would know I'm lying. Or you would know that I'm not something's off because I'm going to be like this. Like I'm gonna be like why? What what are we saying? Like I Well, it's just it's easy to I have a tell. I mean, it's just easy to tell. I c I cannot form a good lie story. Like Justin wants to be like, okay, do this or act like this. And I'll be like, I can't like they used to try okay, Russ Martin show. Okay. I used to, they used to want me to do bits for with them on the air because they wanted a caller to call in and be something. Yeah. I would have to be that caller and call in and do that. I hated doing that because I was like, I'm not good on the fly at doing it so you were a terrible prank caller in that Yes, no, I did not prank call. I didn't I mean I didn't really I mean I don't feel like I You didn't prank call and say Maybe when I was like ten or just watching the children. Yeah, I mean maybe we did something stupid. But it would've been it would have been my best friend Emily that did that though 'cause she was devious. So she would have been the partner. She would have been my partner that did that. That's right. Best friend of DVD because I am now the That's right. You live her spirit. You live her spirit. And you would like her. She's you know, she's she was a sassy Well, also sassy. You know, yeah. So you would have been a terrible I loved prank calling. Prank calling was so fun. I don't I'm not good at making up stories like, you know, you have to be like imaginative about stories. And that's what you girl, I could tell you a story. I know. You you have that. And I mean, with it's really kind of I I I I give credit where credit is due. That is because my crazy greenie Sandy. Okay. And her sister, her sister's name was Mary and w we called her Aunt Mary. And ⁓ you know, I remember being young and them sitting in the living room of my grandma on Crazy Greenie Sandy's house. She had that green it's like a green carpet. Yes, shaggy. Avocados. But I can still hear them. And they like my grandma would be on the phone gossiping about somebody and they'd be talking. You know, and I'm like, and of course all my children or something like that was on the television. Or Sally Jesse Raphael

was Sally Jesse Raphael was my grandma's all the time. That was my goats. That was the goat the red glasses. I mean, like I probably thought I think I should dress as Sally Jesse Rennes. Emma said I should be Lisa Renna. You should be Miss. Lisa Renner? I said Lisa Renna. You should be Nancy what's her name? Yes. Yeah. How'd you forget her name? But no, ⁓ Sally Jesse Jesse Raphael would be on and I literally like I mean, like my Barbies, I was like Emma. Like my Barbies had like they had so their own soap operas. I mean, I and I let me tell ya, I mean like it was for real. I can only imagine with y'all. I can only imagine that. Well, because your mom's also a good storyteller. Correct. But like growing up so My mom is sadistic though. Like she likes to like scary. Like it wasn't she's not a good storyteller like she's scary. Like in a like well, I will say this. Growing up, mom always sat at the kit table. My mom is always at the even now. My mom's always at the kit table. Yes. But growing up, I can remember her like reading books to us. Yeah. Like us kids. And her her being so imaginative about it. And she also did puppets at church. Yeah. And she was in charge of puppets. Yes. And she had this one character who was Mr. Rufus. And he was like the like it like that was her main character. And so she is she's very good at storytelling. But not like she's more like good at n like it's funny 'cause like ⁓ my Aunt Rachel's little girl Josie. Uh-huh. And like Josie is is funny because she's kind of I mean, she's a little toot, but she also like is very gullible. Uh-huh. And so like my mom one time was like Bigfoot's big Bigfoot's gonna get you and all this kind of stuff. And she like would not like she got cried for like weeks. And Ma mm Rachel was like, What? I don't know what to tell you. She told that story about the Sasquatch going inside the window and getting looked at. Yeah. But I it is it is funny because I I don't I love a good storytelling. Yeah. Like I like telling the story. See, and I love listening because I'm not good at that. I don't like to input. I like to be the listener. Like I could be I definitely even to this day, I remember you know, it's funny you remember teachers like and the impact you had like they had on you growing up. And I remember our fifth grade, no third grade teachers. There was a classroom. It was in a newer kind of part of the school that had like that had been added on. And there was a classroom that was like had a split curtain. Uh-huh. And so it, you know, like they would open that curtain and every day one of them would read a book. okay. Yeah. And I'll never forget this one teacher. She was the best like the way she like enunciated and stuff like that. Her name's w her name was Miss Roberts. She was amazing. But she ⁓ would read ⁓ Hank the Cowdog books. ⁓ And to this day, like I still remember like that was the most captivating. Like I can I love l that's why I like audiobooks because I love listening to you

like being engulfed in the story. To the story. Yeah. Like well, we love a good story. Well, and also like that's what that's what got me, you know, started on podcasts. Because like I I like to hear like murder mysteries on podcasts, like someone telling the story. Yeah, or ⁓ like a true crime thing, like how it happened and how what ended up happening 'cause that's how I sort of got into podcast too, is listening to true crime. Well, and also it's so Really know if this is sacrilegious or not. But like I have an app and it's it's the Bible, but it's told by two women who are gossiping. Like they tell it from a like if we were talking about table talk, yeah. So they tell the story in the Bible spell. However, you get the message to the people, but then are you changing the message? That's the whole thing. Well, I will say that's always the I will say I think that there is a little bit of some ⁓ truth to how they say things. However, they add a lot of liberties. They they definitely make it interesting. Yeah. I mean, it's captivating. I I mean I am not bored. So like look they'll say, so Sarah was also sleeping with this person's husband or you know all this just like we would talk like we would talk and I'm like what? Like I haven't heard the story a million times but it's like You just love a good story. I'm like you just love a good story. Well I mean as long as you are discerning and go do your own research and don't rely on that alone you can use that for an attack. Well and we've talked about this before and it's nothing against anything. But you know we we as a like group of friends. We've talked about how people can use scripture in any way that they want to to manipulate a situation. Yes. Like we've known people Well, there's been a lot of stuff lately in the news and it's just like you well, you know, we know people who have abused relationships. Yeah. Because they say ⁓ this is what it says in the Bible. No, that that that might be what's said. Yeah. But that's not necessarily how everyone has to take it. Yeah. If you want to do that, great, green, wonderful. Yeah. But don't judge us because we are not taking it that way. Yeah. There's just so much divide in those subjects. And so it's really hard because Well, it's like just if you if you want to do what you want to do and you want that scripture to mean one thing to you. Yeah. Then that's you. Yeah. Like I'm not gonna ever like I do not I wouldn't say I I I don't judge because I do judge. I would be lying and I don't want to lie to t about it because obviously Santa and God are watching. And so like I don't wanna lie about things because I do judge people when they like think they like l like whenever someone thinks they can take a new wife because It in the Bible somewhere it says you can take it and still have your old wife. And you know me, I'm a I'm a big polygamist. I mean, yeah, you love the sister wives. I love the sister wives. I love a polygamist story. I just don't think that I think that it needs to be what you grew up. Like I think if it's what you grew up, the religion you grew up in, then that's great. But you shouldn't introduce that later. Like you couldn't just as an aside. Like an aside because an extra because you're bored with your wife. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I was raised a monogamous. Yeah. And we've lived You're getting a little He's been watching they've been watching too much Sis Secrum's sister wives or whatever that crap is that's on TLC. I've never watched all that stuff. I just can't. I can't get in this. Well it's disgusting because that's the problem is it's not about they're they're doing polyamory and not about the religion. That's more like polyamory. Well that's what everybody has kind of been like I don't feel like their their pleasure and well correct. I think it's again though, we said that's what I was just saying. I think you can manipulate things into however you want it to work for your life. A hundred percent. Ha can I tell you about Cleveland a little bit? Cleveland? Okay, so I will say Cleveland Which by the way What did I ask you the other day? Like I was like something about Cleveland and you started laughing whenever we were FaceTiming because I was like, Where is Cleveland? Like I didn't even know. I was like You're like, is that is that what are you doing in Ohio? Not Cleveland, Texas, isn't there Cleveland, Texas? I have no clue. But I did not know Cleveland was in home. Well, I will say that we stayed in this bomb hotel. It was she FaceTimed me. And let me just say I am I was impressed. Yeah, it was a boutique hotel. It's called the Fidelity and it's right downtown. And it was similar rates to like the Hilton, the one that Justin was stayed at before and stuff. So it wasn't like some huge, you know, expense or anything. And but I mean it's it's there's cheaper hotels, but it was right there walking distance where we could go to the trial, walk, and then walk back. And we had to valet our car, which was so expensive. Well, let me just tell you the car. So when we show up, we get there, we get the car finally. The guy was so nice. The our Toro driver, I rented from Turo, and he helped me, like got on the phone with me. We couldn't find it in the parking spot. And it was just their parking garage. It's really weird there. And so, anyways, we finally found it. By the way, if you've ever traveled with Jen, you understand she does not do any hiccups well. Yeah. And I don't like parking garages. They make me highly anxious. Yeah. I don't like them. And so I so I was just like trying to look around, but it's like they had one lane that was the same number as another lane. I'm just thinking about the time we went to Vegas. And we stayed at the least Vegasy hotel. It was right next door to a real Vegasy one. It was the only hotel in Vegas without a casino. The only one. It did it was paid for by points. I was not complaining. No, we didn't complain, but it was our lives. I know,

but we all like we all walked in and we're like, what in the hell? This is the quietest Vegas hotel on earth. I didn't even know those hotels existed. I thought every hotel would have a a casino. I never even thought twice about it. Because you know the picture they put up. You saw that picture that I sent you. It was not that hotel. It was not the hotel. Not in the This hotel though. Okay, keep going. Sorry. So you're in the parking garage. So w so we pull up immediately and there's a parking garage right next to our hotel. So I was like, okay, we probably just need to pull in there and park for whatever hour hourly rate, figure out what we need to do. And then because we couldn't check in yet. It was still hours from the time we could check in. And so, anyways, we park, but when we pull in, we're immediately trapped by somebody behind us. And can't like get out. And it says fifty dollar event parking period to get in there. I mean, that might have been cheaper than an hourly though. No, it was like four dollars, twelve dollars. Okay, okay. I mean it was like a downtown parking lot. What event is happening in Cleveland? Cleveland Browns football. Football. Football. And they were playing this something else, someone else. And someone else. That's usually what you do. Maybe the Guardian or the Guardians baseball. There was two teams going on at one there were two games going on at once. There was a baseball and a football. So it was so confusing and everybody was out in their jerseys. Like every single person on earth had a Cleveland Browns jersey on. Those people love their football. And I mean, 'cause I just can't think of what else you would do in Cleveland. Well, I know. Well it's also Justin Crick. I was it was so cute the other day 'cause I was like, why do people go to Cleveland? And Justin was like, There is the rock and roll hall of fame. And I was like Okay, educating. We did. We chat GPT were like, what can you do in Cleveland? And you know, Drew Carey's show used to be like Cleveland rocks. That was their their intro. And so I don't love him. But I just remember vividly because I watched that show in the at that time period. And ⁓ and I always thought, you know, ⁓ every time I think of Cleveland, I think of that. And so I thought, well, Cleveland like, I wouldn't say it rocked, but maybe it like How was the weather? Wonderful. Very mild, not cold yet. It was cold the morning we had to walk to court and it was just early and in the shade. And I so I wore a jacket and a toboggan at one point, but most of the time it was just like here, like we're you know, long sleeves or something. The pants. So it was great. Perfect walking weather. We could walk everywhere we went. There was like an alleyway that had a bunch of restaurants on it that we went to this one restaurant called the Butcher and Brewer or something. And it's Where you order a bunch of small plates of stuff. yeah. And then ⁓ and they make their own, you know, beers and stuff like that. And then you share. And we ordered like four different dishes and it was so well you and Justin are both both very adventurous eaters. Yeah. And I feel really bad when you go on trips with me because I am not an adventurous eater. Well, I did have eight balls. But I was gonna say, but usually I mean it's never just me and you. Yeah. So usually there's enough. Enough people there were the spreads out. It's I'm the oddball out. Well, and you're not you can usually find anything anywhere that we go. Like we did have pork belly and we had ⁓ I don't remember. Where is it? Mm-hmm. So it's ⁓ Lake Erie, the Great Lakes. It was on Lake Erie. There I was actually on Lake Erie. There is a very good you need to watch this then because you'll know there's a very good documentary on Amazon. I I I don't know if it's on prom or if I had to buy it. This was during COVID when me and Jacob were really on our like ⁓ like documentary kicks. Yeah, that is, yeah. And it's called the Lake Erie murders. And it's very good. It's a very good documentary. Okay. And it was it was creepy. Was it eerie? It was it was because it looks like an ocean. You can't see the end of it. I don't like that. No, it's as big as an it's like feels like ocean. I don't like that. And then you had to fly over it to come in and out. I don't like that. And it was nerve wracking a little bit. It just felt like over ocean. And it was sort of foggy as you know, like it was eerie. It was, but it's a giant like I I don't know which one of the Great Lakes is the largest lake, but it's one of the largest lakes that we have. Yeah, the Lake Erie Murders was a very good one. It was a very good like documentary. You know what's weird though is well, I guess it's a lake. It's not a it's not a sea. Because I was like, there wasn't like a lot of seafood. Like it was it's not like Maine, but Maine has ocean. So it's lake. Well, I mean, but they have fish and stuff like that. I just didn't feel like it was like overwhelmingly seafoody. And whenever I think of lake or sp water, I think that the restaurants are gonna have like the best of that. So you realize that like Lake Ray Hubbard. I know we're all but we have some great fried fish around here in Texas. Well we do, but not like on lake not always on lakes. Yeah, that's right. It's true I mean I don't know, the best ones I can think of are I mean I don't eat anything that swims. I used to eat cajun catfish right off of Lake Ray Hubbard. Me and my daddy used to go up there with a And get the cold bucket of shrimp that's peel and eat, you know, and just sit there and peel them and dip them in cocktail sauce and eat Yeah, we did. I just threw up in my mouth. I literally just threw up in my mouth. Well, Cleveland was a good time. I will tell you, th this this trip made me feel like I need to do shower reviews. You you did say that. And I will say I felt like that was one of the prettiest hotel rooms I had ever seen. And we've been to Scotland. Yes. I

mean the the hotels in Scotland were or were replaced. Yes, of course. Because you were in Scotland. Yes. But like I felt like that room you showed me was magical. Yes. It felt like so good to be in there. And then like the city was pretty clean. Like we were downtown. It was pretty. They had like pu pretty stuff lit up at night. I think I get Cleveland. confused with Philadelphia. yeah, yeah, probably. I mean they f if like in my head it's a similar vibe, but I don't know how Philadelphia is. Well Philadelphia Rocky and stuff, you know. Does they're more like still workers and stuff like that. I feel like Philadelphia is like workers. Yeah, like like like they have sit on their buildings. Well and you know like I'm I'm pretty sure like and again don't come at me. I'm just wait, my favorite one of my favorite E tours is Congratulations. That's not I'm not making fun. But I I I have heard that Philly fans, like football fans, ⁓ are like the rabid, like they're like they're they'll have it, they'll turn cars over after the Yeah, like I feel like I feel like that's when you They're scrappy. Rocky. Rocky came from there. Jenna, I'm gonna tell you, I've never seen Rocky. Please zoom in on your face whenever we do. No, ⁓ you didn't but I think again, y'all, I think that I just don't like action. Okay, wait, but it's not all action. And I need you to Someone said it's a love story. Yeah, it is. But I what I need you it's it's like it's cause they're married, but what I need you to see is the like the documentary of Sylvester Sloan talking about making it and stuff. I mean I also am not a fan of him. Yeah. Because I don't like the way he talks. Okay, he doesn't really talk. Like Rocky though. I like this interview, you would have been surprised. Okay. He seemed really okay. Like he was easy to understand. He wasn't overly, you know, I don't know. He was talking about how he grew up and his dad was highly abusive. I mean, I'll give it a shot. I just have never I think because Rocky was the first movie he ever wrote and he and he got it like made. The story is so interesting because he did that all himself. And he came from nothing else. No, it's like Bruce Willis. I do not I'm not a big fan of Bruce Willis. The only reason I like Bruce Willis is Moonlighting. What is that? The show with ⁓ y'all will know the in the eighties and they were in they live worked in an office together and they were like attorneys or something like that. Moonlighting. It was like a series. Series, okay. Yeah. the only reason I like Bruce Willis is Sixth Sense maybe that was a good one. Yes. Yeah. That was a those. I mean, I I'm not all into diehard and all that kind of stuff. No, that's what that's something like I just never was into like action movie. I will say Sixth Sense was one of those movies that it hits all the bases. It hits all the bases, but it also is like a big plot twist movie, obviously. Yeah. But like I like, I feel like there was a great time period of good, suspenseful movies like that. Because I feel like the Sixth Sense it came all at the same time. It was like a What am I the knees? ⁓ that no, Armageddon. That was I forgot those. ⁓ yeah, I forgot he was a dad and that and my gosh. I okay, because you have to pay. Don't wanna close. Okay. But this is the problem with that movie. And again, I I think the reason I FaceTime Jen the other night was because you shared something about Casper. yes, I texted you and I said, every now and then. What you like literally like sent me a text and you said, yes, every now and then my current situation will be home tomorrow, landing round too. And she was watching Casper. Yes. So I FaceTime. I immediately thought of you. I was like, I gotta send that to the session. I never thought about this. And so I FaceTime was like, you know what? Like these movies really set widows up for failure because they make you think that this ghost is just gonna come back. Yeah and just dance with you and lift you up off the ground and blah blah blah blah blah. And it doesn't happen. It doesn't happen. And I was really pissed at the dad this time because of when he dies. I love Bill Paxton. I know, but no, not Paxton. Bill Paxton is twisted. Bill Pullman. Pullman. Pullman. I love him too. But you know, like as an adult, I got real pissed at him whenever he died and became a ghost and then was just all carefree and stuff. Like he just left her. And he was and like was like carefree about it. And I understand that like he supposedly didn't have his memory stuff, but it just really made me mad. It just really was like, ugh, you're a selfish pig. I'll tell you this. One of my favorite Bill Pullman movies is while you were sleeping. But what's so funny about while you were sleeping is Sandra Bullock. I've seen but I don't remember. Okay, well, that's one of my f that that's in my top 10. Sleeping is definitely definitely. But this is the funny part of that movie. Uh-huh. So I put it on a couple of weeks ago and the girls were kind of like in and out and they were like, wait a second. So she's pretending to be this one's fiance who is in a coma and doesn't know anything about him while falling in love with his brother. Uh-huh. And I'm like, Yes. Yes. And it and that's when And I literally like I got emotional watching it. And I like I'm like, why am I getting emotional watching this? Because I'm like. my god, like those kind of movies just pull on your freaking heartstrings. I know, and it's nostalgia too. It makes you f think of a different time whenever you were that what you were doing at that time when it was out. Someone the other day was like, If you could go back to any age, where would you go? And I said, Eight. Don't even eight. I didn't even have to think about it. I wanna be eight again. Eight. I wanna be eight again because you're old enough to be independent. Uh-huh. And remember things. Uh-huh. But you're young enough where you don't care about like fitting in. Uh-huh. Girls

aren't bored. You don't have responsibility. You don't have responsibility. Like you know, like you're literally just getting up on Saturday morning watching cartoons and and eating your cereal. And back when we were kids, we didn't do the thing like we didn't go, go, go. No. Our weekends we were at home. Like you didn't Saturday morning cartoons, you ate cereal. And also like This this is not a laugh about kids these days. And it's nothing I mean, I'm I'm not mad about it. No. But it's just changed. When we left school in May, we did not see our friends, but maybe once in the summer until the start of the school year. Right. That's what was so exciting about going back to the Like see your friends. Except for the friends that were in your neighborhood that you saw. we lived in the country. Exactly. So for us, we I was in a neighborhood, but still I only saw a few. I just think that like think eight is just was the perfect age because everyone's alive that you love. Yeah. Like all my grandparents were still alive. And like I just I just remember it being so like something because it's simple. It was simple. Yeah. And you know I I again we'll wrap up on this kind of here in a minute. But the thing is is that I really am more the older I get and I know that like You know, I know there are people that we know, mm-hmm and there's again, this is no offense to anyone, who enjoy go going going. Yeah. I am I am not that. I'm not that. I'm not that and I'm never the older I get, the less I'm Well, the older I get, the less I'm like that. But I have never been like that. I know. Like even like I was for a bit for a minute. Like I didn't mind stuff. I didn't mind well Before husband and kids and something like that, that would be different. Yes. But I find myself like almost like getting anxiety. Like longing to be home. If well, no, like if I feel like I have too much plans. ⁓ yes. And you know, I I I don't think that it's a bad thing. I'm not saying that. I just think that there is something so simple about being home. Yeah. It just ⁓ And I just feel like it's gets exhausting. Yeah. I just feel like you wear yourself out. Yeah. Now, I love being with family and friends, like going to someone's house or having, you know, like having people like I love having people at my house. I love doing things with family. But it's sort of and I love it's home based supporting people. Yes. That's not it all. But I just if if I in my head thought that I had something every freaking weekend where I had to like entertain other people outside of my family. ⁓ I would I couldn't I couldn't handle it. I couldn't handle it. You really couldn't, but I definitely couldn't. And I just love I have found that I just love waking up on Saturday mornings and not having anywhere to go. Nothing to do. I love just putting on a good show. I love Tobin being going outside. Like every day when we get I get home now, like we go for a scooter ride. And I just Love this simplicity. Like I love

supporting. Yeah. But I think that people are on the go too much. Yeah. It it's I don't know. I guess it's because everyone's different. So Yeah, no, like I don't again, it's like how we drop on that. Yes, if that works for you, I think that's wonderful. And I love people we know people who are like this. Yeah, yeah. And I love that people are like this. Yeah. I just I can't be that person. I just find Though that some of my favorite memories in my whole entire life are home with family. Yeah. ⁓ for sure. A hundred percent. Before we wrap up, I have to tell you a funny story about security at the TSA in Clayboard. This is never. This is never good with Jen. So what? So we go through security and I walk up and it's these two mean looking women. But there's ⁓ So you're in Cleveland coming home. Coming home. Okay. And I'd already made all sorts of friends in Cleveland. They loved my accent. Like I told you, one of the cops at the courthouse, as soon as I walked on the elveir, all I said was 14. He's like, I love your accent. Keep going. That's what he said. And I was like, Well, I have a podcast. You should watch that. It's with my best friend. The whole even the guy that was going to trial. Even the guy that was going to trial. You never responded to that. dang it. I forgot that you told me well I was away. Okay, I'll do it today. I promise. I'm so sorry. ⁓ I will get back in the mode now that I'm past that Ohio trip. I needed to get past that litigation stuff. Okay, so you're in the elevator. So we're in so ⁓ so ⁓ so that that was at the airport. This is at the courthouse, but at the airport, ⁓ we're at TSA, TSA, and I can see the woman that was doing like the The security skin and stuff was like so intimidating at the airport. She had like that haircut that's like scrolled and like plastic like she was like this Hispanic girl that was like real pretty but and she had that like real like sculpted hair. I love I love it. I think it's so cool. I'm like, you like you have to do that, you know? And so she was eyeball she was looking at that machine like like like mean mugging that machine, you know. Anyone walking up, you know. Okay. And then there was an older lady at the bag stuff where she was telling and they didn't tell you a damn thing about what to do. I was like, well do I need to put my computer and my telephone. Yeah, because we learned that some places you don't have to You'll take your computer and then some places you do. Yes. And so then I'm like, I thought I did too. So then I'm like, do I need to take my computer out? And then I put took it out and I put my tablet with it. And then she's like, No, take the the Take the bag out of the my backpack out of that one, put it on the table, put your laptop in here and your tablet here. And they get like frustrated with you and you don't know the rules. And I'm like, listen, this isn't my job. I was like, Your job is to tell me what to do. Yes. I was like, I'm so sorry. I'm trying to be prepared. I just never you just never know, you know, and so I was trying to do the right thing. And she wasn't really entertained. So I was like, Okay, we're gonna move through here. We're gonna we're gonna move on. So I went and did my little, you know, like that thing. And you got stopped. ⁓ no, I didn't I didn't get stopped. I didn't get stopped. Although I saw a red light come on when my bag went through and I was like, shit, here we go. What do I have? What do I have? I had crayons every time. Yes. So then, as I'm trying to gather my five item bag things, you know. Jind does not. I've already done a video about it and posted it on my pretty details page. So right here, okay. Behind me, almost touching me. These two men, security guards, ⁓ are patting down a man. patting down the man. They were patting down you. A big African American man that was not happy. Like he wasn't he was cooperative, but But he he was annoyed. But he was annoyed, understandably. Because I've been there. Yes, you get super Because I said something to him afterwards, I was like, they patted me down at Boise. But so he was right here and I was trying to get my stuff and I my pits started sweating because they were like guilty by association, Jack. No, because of what they were saying. The way they were treating him. They were like, You're gonna have to open your legs wider, sir. Like I mean like real like aggressive. Aggressive. Aggressive. And it was right. Aggressive in Cleveland. I'm getting h hyped up just right. It was right here. It was like almost touching me. And I was like, what if some shit goes down right now? And you're what? Like what if he's a mule? What if they like take him down right on top of me? You know the drugs, they put the drugs up there. So, so then I'm like sweating. I'm like, I've gotta hurry up. But I was so nervous about not getting all my stuff because my license was loose and my phone was loose, and I'm just trying to get out of there. This is by the way, her like going everywhere. How she travels, guys. Like she is never organized. No, I'm like me and Jamie. When we went to Vegas, we'd be like there, and we're like ready to go. And Jen's like gathering. I've got this purse. I've got my pillow. And so I was highly nervous. She always carries extra underwear for me. I do. I was highly nervous about what was going on behind me because it was felt aggressive. Okay. And so I was like gathering all myself, and then I just had it all in my arms, and I was just like, walked away. You know, I was like I just tried to get away. And then I went and like repacked, regrouped. And then he comes over afterwards just unbothered, you know. And I was just like, I've been patted down too. So it's not just to you, so there was no point to that story. There was well, it was really scary there for about a minute and a half while I thought that they were taking down terrorists or mules right behind me. Like touching distance. They were pri I thought that they

would pull off to the side to tr to s to like Pat them down. No. Not in Cleveland. Practically on top of me. Practically on top. So why do you have a McDonald's? I forgot to tell you. I just wanted to show you how I can be influenced by this is actually Jack in the Box. This is their Halloween Simpsons meal. I've never watched Treehouse of Horrors. I you'd have to in. It was a thing of the moment. It was a Bible Bible. I also, though, want to know from everyone out there. Is are the Simpsons, you know how people like go on TikTok and they say that the Simpsons are have predicted future stuff. Is that true or is that AI? I think it's true. Like so Like I've heard that too. I haven't done deep investigation though. We may have to do an investigative reporting. I'm just saying because I I want to know what has happened. If those those are actually true episodes that happened years ago. Because if so, that's super bizarre. It's creepy and I have heard those rumors too. And Justin, we were like, what do we want to eat tonight? And then Justin sends me this and it's like it's called the Munchy Mill of Horror. The Munchy Mill of Horror for The Simpsons right on the highway. ⁓ Like at the corner where you turn on Broadway. Right before that one gas station on the corner. Coming off the service road off thirty. It's been a long I didn't even know it was open still. Yeah. And so they got me with this and it's super cute. I love it. Because Jack the Box is very creative with their marketing. But what really pissed me off drive through. Yeah. I wasn't there though. I didn't get it. I wasn't there. I'm done. But just in come time, it's supposed to come with a really cute collectible cup that's plastic. And he didn't get one. They didn't have any. So they were out. So they didn't give me the one thing that's memorable with the meal that you pay for. Instead, they gave me the stupid starroom. No discount. No discount. I should have gotten a dollar fifty discount at least. I guarantee that. I guarantee I should get a dollar fifty discount. But I did want to say I have been influenced by this by this box. She drinks the Kool-Aid. I did. I did. One more thing before we end.
