00:00:00.479 --> 00:00:02.319
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 --> 00:00:13.119
We've got the facts, we've got the charts, just not the social graces part.
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 --> 00:00:25.920
Hi folks, welcome back to the certifiably awkward podcast.
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:27.039
This is Amy.
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:29.280
I'm Gabriella, and I'm Lena.
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:32.719
And tonight, we really don't have much to talk about.
00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:35.280
We're just gonna piecemeal some things together.
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:40.640
Thing go.
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:45.520
We'd like to talk about a lot of stuff, but too many of you listen to us, and we can't talk about it.
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:47.520
Stop listening to us.
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:50.799
Stop listening in on our private conversation.
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:52.479
If you could please take a pause.
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:56.799
And if you've ever had an awkward situation with us, don't listen to this episode.
00:00:57.920 --> 00:00:58.880
Kidding.
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:04.959
So I had a first date recently, and um, now I have to premise this.
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:09.439
I went into this date knowing that he was not looking for a romantic date.
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:13.200
He's looking for friends because he's in the middle of a divorce.
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:18.319
Um, but so we met at a local coffee shop, and um day went great.
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:19.760
That's not what this is about.
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:21.200
Really cool guy.
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:23.359
But um, I got there first.
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:25.519
I got my London fog tea, right?
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:26.959
My London Fog latte.
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:40.560
I'm sitting there, I see him across the room, he comes towards me, and I get up, and I think I shared on a previous podcast that like I went in for a handshake with someone and he went to hug me, and I was like, ugh, I didn't want to hug, but I hugged him anyway.
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:43.200
Well, opposite, I did the same thing.
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:46.159
Wait, opposite, you went for a hug and he went for a handshake.
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:53.840
Yes! He just seemed, I like we had chatted quite a bit, and he just seemed like a very, I don't know, huggable guy.
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.120
So I went in and I'm and then he stuck his hand out and shake it.
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:05.040
I go, Oh, you're not a hugger, and he gives me this look like, oh, how do I answer this without you know hurting her feelings?
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:06.640
I

said, It's okay, you're not a hugger.
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:07.680
He goes, Not yet.
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:17.280
And I was like, okay, but it was incredibly awkward, and I'm sitting, I sat down and I'm like, This is gonna be an interesting conversation.
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:18.879
Uh, but it went very well.
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:19.680
It was a good day.
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:22.159
But that was just sort of my uh awkward moment.
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:23.599
Did you drop your phone?
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:25.439
I did not drop my phone.
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:26.560
Oh my god.
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:34.319
Oh my god, the moment you said uh you saw him walking towards you and you got up, I had like war flashbacks.
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:36.800
That was not okay.
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:38.479
Lena was twitching over here.
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:41.439
I was like, oh god, this sounds way too familiar.
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:52.879
For those of you who might not have heard a previous episode, Lena uh was on a first date, and at one point uh when she went up to greet the individual, she flung her phone across the room pretty much.
00:02:52.960 --> 00:03:00.800
And uh I just have to fill the listeners in.
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:06.319
Well, a part of me also forgot that I told that a story, so then I was like, should I tell that story?
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:07.759
But it's already done.
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:09.199
That is how about it.
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:10.159
That is the problem.
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:16.479
I mean, all the awkward situations sort of connect and we risk repeating ourselves for sure.
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:19.120
You gotta get out more dates so you can have more stories.
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:21.039
I mean, I'm doing my best here.
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:22.000
No, I can't.
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:30.159
I feel like the dating pool for 29-year-olds is a bit bigger than the dating pool for 50-year-olds.
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:34.240
I mean, just because the ocean's bigger doesn't mean there's better fish.
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:36.000
No, but there's more stories.
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:38.319
Those fish can tell stories.
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:40.719
It can give you stories to tell.
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:42.000
So that's all I'm saying.
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:44.879
The last fish gave me such a bad story to tell.
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:46.719
I just need to work up on that.
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:48.560
Have you been on a date since that one?
00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:52.400
No, I haven't even talked to a man since that day.
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:57.280
Sorry for all those men that she has talked to.
00:03:57.360 --> 00:03:58.879
She doesn't consider you as men.
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:00.639
Right.
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:01.439
Yeah.
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:02.800
She meant dates.
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:03.439
That's what she meant.
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:05.680
Not just men in general, men in her life.
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:06.080
Yeah.
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:08.639
They are men, but not the men she was referencing.
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:09.120
Sure.
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:11.599
So Gabriella, how about you?
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:13.120
What's been going on in your life lately?
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:17.680
Oh, I have um a story to tell from one of our listeners.
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:21.040
And she starts it by saying, Story time.
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:31.279
And she says, anyone that is having a bad day or morning, I have a story that may brighten up your day or just give you a reason to laugh.
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:34.160
We always need reasons to laugh.
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:35.680
We always need to bring it up.
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:38.639
She says, I'm a dump truck driver.
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:43.120
I have tons of knowledge and know how to fix things or investigate solutions.
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:46.560
However, this morning I was stuck on stupid.
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:51.199
As usual, I get up and get my morning going, including coffee and a shower.
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:57.040
After getting ready for the day, I kept hearing my sh it something in my shower, like a motor or something.
00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:00.720
And I began to get into panic mode.
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:04.800
We just had our bathrooms remodeled last year, so what could it be?
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:10.399
I called the plumber and I called my husband, my little sis, and her husband.
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:14.959
Oh my she started with the plumber and then she went with her husband and her sister.
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:15.680
Yeah, she's then.
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:17.920
It's just kind of the reverse order that I would start with.
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:25.759
She called, she called the plumber, she called her husband, she called her little sister and her little sister's husband, and now she is called her brother.
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:37.519
A plumber can't come until this afternoon, and her sister and her husband kept sending her tons of literature to figure out what she could do until the plumber could show up, and she was really thankful for that.
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:42.879
She says, I began to freak out, like sweating.
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:44.399
I was crying.
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:45.360
Oh my god.
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:50.079
She said she turned off the shower or shut the water, she shut her house down.
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:51.360
Electricity.
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:55.120
Um, she let all the pressure out of all of her lines.
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:56.879
She thinks the house was gonna blow up.
00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:00.399
Well, she didn't know what the sound was coming, what like this noise was.
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:04.879
And then her brother-in-law gave her guidance for doing all of that.
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:14.160
And then so apparently her brother lives like two hours away, and he was the only one that could come over to make sure like the
house didn't blow up.
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:18.480
So she made her brother drive two hours rather than waiting for a plumber.
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:19.360
Right, exactly.
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:20.399
What a good brother.
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:27.920
I know still confused, she couldn't figure out why the motor sound kept on going.
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:32.000
Um, so her brother comes out and he starts to investigate.
00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:35.839
And he couldn't figure out right away what the hell the noise was.
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:44.480
He was like touching, he was getting on his knees, he was trying to listen, and he was actually ready to go down their crawl space to make sure that there wasn't any leaks.
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:50.399
He stands up, he stops, and he looks up.
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:51.600
Are you guys ready for this?
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:52.720
I'm scared.
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:55.519
Are you about to tell us what it is?
00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:57.439
Do you want to give us the sound first?
00:06:58.240 --> 00:06:59.360
Do you have a recording of the sound?
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:00.800
This is what it sounds like.
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:02.079
Yeah, I can do that.
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:13.439
Yeah, that almost sounds like a jackhammer or something.
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:15.439
It's a like a like a generator sound.
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:16.639
Yeah, it's weird, right?
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:21.439
Like it's not something that you could yeah, do you think that's a good one?
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:35.759
So um she um so he gets on his knees, he looks up, and it is a toothbrush.
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:37.279
What?
00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:39.920
Her toothbrush was moving.
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:46.000
Her toothbrush was vibrating, and it was like over an hour it had been vibrating.
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:47.199
What was the toothbrush?
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:48.480
Vibrating against what?
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:50.319
Yeah, in the shower.
00:07:51.199 --> 00:08:00.879
So um she says, ladies and gentlemen, when brushing your teeth in the shower, make sure you to push the button so that's not vibrating and to cause so much chaos.
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:02.399
You're allowed to laugh.
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:07.120
And then she does send a little oh my mother, I know, she does send another video.
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:09.199
Um, and let me see if I can play that.
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:15.680
He did not, you know, but take a second and he points up at my toothbrush.
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:17.279
And here we go.
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:19.920
Yeah, that's the problem.
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:26.800
It's just literally literally sitting on the oh my god, the brother drove two hours.
00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:28.959
Oh, for a toothbrush.
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:33.039
Oh my god, big time.
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:36.720
Yeah, but imagine if it was the plumber.
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:39.120
Okay, I think it would you're right.
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:42.320
I mean, and she pays$200 for an emergency toothbrush.
00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:43.039
Oh my god.
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:45.279
Yeah, I would rather my brother do that.
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:47.840
But yeah, that's so funny.
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:48.799
So funny.
00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:54.879
I mean, when you almost released, you know, told us what it was.
00:08:55.039 --> 00:09:04.159
I was thinking it was something that was vibrating, but I did not think toothbrush, so I'm glad it was a toothbrush, ladies and gentlemen.
00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:05.679
I mean it could have been worse.
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:07.440
It could have been worse.
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:09.120
Yeah, like it could have been worse.
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:12.480
So that's got that thing's got a pretty good battery to like.
00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:13.840
I know for over an hour?
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:16.399
Over an hour for a tiny thing.
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:18.799
Do you brush your teeth in the I don't?
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:20.720
I don't I don't either.
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:21.600
I've heard people doing that.
00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:24.559
I'm like, I don't know, that's just weird to me.
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:33.600
If I had a regular toothbrush, I might, but I have an electric toothbrush that's you're technically not supposed to get water into it.
00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:34.720
Yeah.
00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:36.559
So I can't take it in the shower with me.
00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:39.600
Well, it just looked like it was up on a upper shelf.
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:40.480
Yeah, upper shelf.
00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:42.639
Maybe yeah, weird.
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:43.360
I don't know.
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:52.080
I just have never I guess I just get in, get out, get cleaned, and not standing there with in the hot water brushing my teeth.
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:53.840
But I've heard lots of people that do.
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:55.039
I've heard lots of people do that too.
00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:57.600
Um something similar happened to me the other day.
00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:01.679
Like literally or something else.
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:03.360
No, it was something else.
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:11.600
I was driving the other day, and as I'm driving, I was going to a doctor's appointment.
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:20.639
As I'm driving, all of a sudden, in my car, something keeps going beep and it's this constant beeping.
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:24.720
And so I start freaking out because I'm like, oh my god, is it my tires?
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:26.559
Is my car trying to tell me something?
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:35.360
But usually if it were like my tires or whatever, I have a little display on my dash that will tell me what it is, but it's completely normal.
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:42.960
I had no lights on, nothing, so I'm like, oh god, oh god, oh god, and I'm I'm like pulling onto the freeway, but I'm freaking out because this beeping is really
loud.
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:44.879
And if you're gonna break down, you don't want to do it on the freeway.
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:52.720
Right, so then I like pull off immediately right off, um, right as I get onto the on-ramp, and I stop my car.
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:54.720
I'm like looking around, I'm looking around.
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:57.519
I can't figure out where this beeping is coming from.
00:10:57.679 --> 00:11:03.279
It's really loud, and freaking out, and then I was like, okay, I'm just gonna turn off my car.
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:05.039
I turn off my car and it stops.
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:10.000
So I go, okay, it was my car, but I can't figure out what it was.
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:12.480
But what am I gonna do at this point, right?
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:14.960
Like everything else, everything in my car looks to be okay.
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:17.840
So I was like, okay, the beeping's gone, I'm gonna try to turn it on again.
00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:23.679
I turn on my car, it doesn't beep, so I start driving again, and then it starts going off a few minutes later again.
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:27.840
And so again, I'm freaking out, like, oh my god, what is this?
00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:29.840
But I gotta get to my appointment, I'm gonna be late.
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:30.720
So I just keep driving.
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:32.399
So I drive, drive, drive.
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:34.720
Eventually, a few minutes later, it stops again.
00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:37.759
So I'm like, okay, weird.
00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:54.720
So then as I'm like driving into the parking lot of my doctor's appointment, my um clinic, I realized that I have a bag in the back of my car that had been sitting in my living room for quite some time.
00:11:54.879 --> 00:12:08.879
And last weekend, two weekends ago, I had a yard sale, and I just kind of like I had crap all over my house, and I just needed this one thing, one space to be clear, so I had shoved a bunch of things in that area into bags around it.
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:11.919
Um, not thinking anything of it.
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:17.840
One of the things that I had accidentally shoved in there was my smoke detector.
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:18.799
Oh no.
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:25.200
Um that had gone off while I was cooking, and then I got annoyed.
00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:43.440
Um and so I took it off the ceiling and I had left it somewhere, but again, I needed that space, so I just shoved that thing into one of my purses or like my bags, and then I had put that back in my car, and the thing was running out of batteries.
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:44.320
Oh no wonder.
00:12:44.559 --> 00:12:44.799
Yes.
00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:50.320
How long how long has it been off of your ceiling, Lena?
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:51.759
Quite some time.
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:52.720
A couple weeks.
00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:55.600
And it's yeah, a couple weeks.
00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:57.519
Too longer than I've got to be.
00:12:57.679 --> 00:13:02.000
But how ironic that you turn off your car and it stops making that noise.
00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:02.639
Why?
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:04.399
I was like, it's gotta be my car.
00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:06.559
It turned off when I turned off my car.
00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:08.240
So I was freaking out.
00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:11.200
I was like, who do I call if I break down on the middle of the freeway?
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:12.639
Who do I call?
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:14.240
What do I do?
00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:16.720
So Lena, is it still in your car?
00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:26.000
Um, I can't answer that question.
00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:27.679
She bleeds the fan.
00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:36.159
Um, only because so when I realized it was my battery that was running out, I obviously pulled it out.
00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:38.000
I pulled out the battery.
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:47.039
A little part of me thinks I put it back in that bag, but a part of me also thinks that I just threw it somewhere in my car.
00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:48.559
That makes sense.
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:55.759
And the bag is inside my house now, so it's either inside my bag in my house, or it's in your car somewhere.
00:13:56.159 --> 00:14:00.000
Either way, it's not notifying you of the beeping anymore, so I'm okay now.
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:01.440
Well, it doesn't have a battery.
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:04.639
I'm just saying she needs a smoke detector in her house.
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:09.120
Well, I have a story about driving.
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:10.240
Go over it.
00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:11.279
Not with a smoke detector.
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:12.639
Not with a smoke detector.
00:14:12.879 --> 00:14:15.360
So uh it's fall, right?
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:22.480
Um, it's gonna be Halloween here pretty soon, and all of the critters are coming out.
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:25.360
So I was driving, it was really cold in the morning.
00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:41.360
Um, I was running late to work as I always am, and jumped in my car and was driving on the freeway, and um out of the corner of my eye, I see this web, like a spider web, and I was like, oh, that's not good.
00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:44.080
I don't know where what what's going on with that.
00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:45.679
And then I see the spider.
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:46.399
Oh no.
00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:53.679
And it was like while you're driving, while I'm driving, oh no, like was like coming down like in front of my eyes.
00:14:54.480 --> 00:15:00.000
No no no, yeah, and so I'm not scared of spiders, but I don't want them on me.
00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:11.519
And I definitely don't like their web on me either, because then I always feel like I have spiders all over on me, you know, just like when you walk through a spider web, I just feel like there's always whatever crawling on me.
00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:25.120
And um, so I'm at the light to turn into work, and I'm like like trying to get this,
I'm waving and batting and trying to get it away from me, and I must look like somebody who's very special.
00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:33.840
Like just waving at anything in front of me, and I look over, this car is looking at me like, are you okay?
00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:35.759
No, I'm not okay.
00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:39.360
There is a spider dangling from my roof of my car.
00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:46.879
I got it, I got it to work, jumped out, and I was looking for it and I didn't find it, so I don't know where it went.
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:48.159
It's probably still in my car.
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:50.320
But anyway, I thought that was actually kind of funny.
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:51.600
It's probably still in your car.
00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:52.639
I made a little home.
00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:53.519
Probably had babies.
00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:54.480
I have a baby.
00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:58.240
Spiders love to have babies in my car.
00:15:58.639 --> 00:15:59.039
Yeah.
00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:00.480
I don't know why.
00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:03.919
I don't know either, but so I feel for you on that one.
00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:07.039
But you not knowing where the sound was and me swiping around.
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:09.039
Do you have any funny stories about driving?
00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:22.320
I don't, but I mean, we went from smoke detectors and driving to spiders and driving, and what immediately came to my mind was when I was vacuuming out my car uh with a shop vac.
00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:45.200
I used to live sort of in the boonies in a rural area, and um we had a critter problem out there in the boonies, and I was uh using the shop vac and I went to down to turn it on, but before I turned it on, I picked up the hose, and there's a mouse sitting on the end of the hose.
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:46.159
In the end of the hose?
00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:50.559
Right, like just like I pick it up right there in the round, it was just sitting right there, like staring at me.
00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:51.279
Oh no, uh.
00:16:52.799 --> 00:17:03.519
I immediately just like reflex, just like flung the hose, and I'm sure that mouse went flying across the garage.
00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:06.480
It was three-car garage, and I had no idea where it went.
00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:20.480
But that I literally did like some sort of panic dance in the garage, like heebie jeeby, and I felt like yucky yucky, like there's rodents and rodent, and then I was convinced that they were every whole garage was infested.
00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:21.359
Oh yes.
00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:24.400
Um I got chills.
00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:28.319
Yeah, those mice they can get in anywhere, anywhere in small, tiny.
00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:32.480
It's like you don't think, like, yeah, like they can make it under your garage door.
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:32.880
I can't.
00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:38.079
That thing's all the way to the ground, and they somehow flatten their bodies.
00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:38.880
Oh, I know.
00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:42.799
And they're like, Yeah, it's so weird.
00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:46.000
So, yeah, that that is what came to mind for me.
00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:50.640
So, not I am not afraid of spiders, they don't bother me at all.
00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:57.279
My sister is very afraid of spiders, and I'm sure you don't I mean I don't mind spiders, but I don't want them on me.
00:17:57.519 --> 00:17:58.079
No, no, I agree.
00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:02.960
No, but like if there's one in your house on the wall on the other side of the room, what would you do?
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:06.400
I I probably would watch it until I got close to it.
00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:07.680
Pick it up and take it outside.
00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:11.200
She would be able to either pick it up, take it outside, or smush it or something.
00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:12.160
Something.
00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:13.519
Yeah, my sister can't do that.
00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:18.240
Yeah, she literally, and well, if her husband's not in town, she'll call my dad.
00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:18.960
Oh, really?
00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:21.359
I've even taken care of spiders for her before.
00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:24.400
I just think it's I don't they're well, how they're not gonna hurt you.
00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:25.839
I mean, some of them can.
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:29.359
It's not a black widow, it's a little house spider.
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:32.480
Some of those little house spiders are very large this year.
00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:37.599
They are, but they're still house spiders, which are actually beneficial.
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:38.720
They eat the other bugs.
00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:39.359
I agree.
00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:41.759
I'm just saying, I don't really want them on me.
00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:48.720
Spiders are the only bugs that I will let reside in my home.
00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:49.200
Right.
00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:50.319
Because they are good.
00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:52.160
Because they eat the other bugs.
00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:53.759
But they have to.
00:18:53.920 --> 00:19:02.319
They absolutely have to have to have to either be somewhere where I cannot reach them or be just like slightly out of my line of sight.
00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:04.319
Because you don't know you don't want to see them.
00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:11.440
Yeah, those the ones that come into my shower and hang out in my bathtub.
00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:14.079
Oh no, those guys, mm-mm.
00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:18.240
Straight, straight down the drain.
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:19.279
Death.
00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:21.200
You flush them, you squish them.
00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:24.240
Yeah, I squish them and then I flush them.
00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:25.039
Me too.
00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:25.359
Yeah.
00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:29.119
There's like, I will squish you and then I will drown just in case.
00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:33.759
And then I get scared for like a week after that it's gonna come
back alive up the toilet.
00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:35.839
That's hilarious.
00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:37.440
She's gonna open her toilet.
00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:40.000
It'll be like Halloween, like all the spiders just.
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:40.960
What was that movie?
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:42.559
Arachnophobia that had that?
00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:44.079
Like the whole house was engulfed in that.
00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:45.039
Have you seen that movie?
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:46.000
I will not be seen.
00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:48.400
I have not and will not.
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:49.519
That's a good movie.
00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:50.240
I haven't seen that movie.
00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:50.720
I haven't seen it.
00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:51.119
Yeah.
00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:53.920
John Goodman is the uh exterminator.
00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:56.960
Exterminator, and these spiders are going around.
00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:02.000
I don't do I I don't do bug movies because bugs freak me out.
00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:03.119
I couldn't watch.
00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:06.799
There's a show with a bunch of zombies.
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:08.640
I can't remember what show it was.
00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:09.759
It was a really popular show.
00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:10.799
Walking dead.
00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:11.440
Yeah, that one.
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:15.279
I couldn't watch it because there's so many like bugs around the dead bodies.
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:15.599
Yeah.
00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:16.720
It was freaking me out.
00:20:16.960 --> 00:20:18.000
No, couldn't do it.
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:20.640
Um well that show's icky for other reasons.
00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:23.359
I didn't even get far enough to get to the actual movie.
00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:27.039
I don't do scary things.
00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:28.559
Like I don't watch scary stuff.
00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:30.720
You could watch, you know, a bug's life though.
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:31.920
The Disney bug movies.
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:37.440
I could watch it I I still do kind of get the heebie jeebies from those realistic.
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:39.119
Yeah, and they're so cute.
00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:43.519
Like the freaking crickets, they're creepy.
00:20:43.759 --> 00:20:45.279
Oh, the mean guys in that movie.
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:45.839
Yeah, yeah.
00:20:46.079 --> 00:20:46.640
They're scary.
00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:48.160
The grasshoppers are creepy.
00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:49.359
Yeah, I think they're grasshoppers, but yes.
00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:50.640
They might be grasshoppers.
00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:51.599
Yeah, but yeah, they're mean.
00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:52.160
I don't know.
00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:52.559
Yeah.
00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:53.119
Yeah.
00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:54.480
They're making the ants work.
00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:54.880
Yeah.
00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:57.599
And when all the ants are like lined up.
00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:00.000
I don't like it.
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:01.519
I don't like
bugs.
00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:02.960
I don't like ants.
00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:05.359
Ants are probably the one bug that freaked me out the most.
00:21:05.839 --> 00:21:06.640
I hate ants.
00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:08.480
Because loathe them.
00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:17.680
You'll be just sitting outside, and all of a sudden you feel a little thing on your arm, and there's like you didn't even know it was there, how long it had been crawling up your arm or your leg or your foot.
00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:20.720
And then you see what they do in those nature videos, right?
00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:26.960
Like, like millions of ants can literally take down something.
00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:27.920
It's gross.
00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:30.000
I don't like those sugar ants either.
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:31.519
No, sugar ants are the worst.
00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:32.480
They're hard to get rid of too.
00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:33.359
So hard to get rid of it.
00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:43.680
I had really bad ants several The very first time you guys came over to record this at my place, I was like at the end of an ant infestation.
00:21:43.839 --> 00:21:45.599
I think I had kind of warned you guys about it.
00:21:46.799 --> 00:21:52.880
I was having ants come out of my like my AC heater vents out of the ceiling.
00:21:53.599 --> 00:22:03.039
And I didn't realize that until I was sitting on my couch in the living room and they I just I just kept finding ants everywhere and I was like, where are these guys coming from?
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:04.400
I could live there.
00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:09.599
And then they'd be like crawling on me and be like, where where are these guys coming from?
00:22:09.759 --> 00:22:12.319
And then eventually they'd look like them think that they can crawl on you.
00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:12.799
Yeah.
00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:13.440
Yeah.
00:22:13.680 --> 00:22:15.759
If you're gonna live here, pay some rent.
00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:18.960
Yeah.
00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:28.559
So then I got my landlord got an exterminator and came they came and like killed all of them, but God, that was a terrifying like couple of weeks of my life.
00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:35.039
We paid for port quarterly pest control out on the property, and I continued, I moved into town, I continued to pay for that.
00:22:35.119 --> 00:22:36.720
And I probably don't need that here.
00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:37.839
No, I think we do.
00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:38.880
I think you do.
00:22:39.039 --> 00:22:40.000
For the rodents too?
00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:40.960
Not for the rodents.
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:43.039
Yeah, I have I have mouse bait boxes outside.
00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:44.000
I'm just paranoid.
00:22:44.079 --> 00:22:45.680
I just you know what though?
00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:46.319
I don't know.
00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:48.079
Yeah.
00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:51.039
Um I remember the rodents.
00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:54.079
I remember um I must have been 17 or 18.
00:22:54.160 --> 00:22:56.640
My brother had and I had moved out into a house that we were renting.
00:22:57.440 --> 00:22:58.079
I remember.
00:22:58.240 --> 00:22:59.599
Yeah, and I was an older home.
00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:00.720
Yeah, it was an older home.
00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:04.160
And I was in a car accident and my knee had hit the dashboard.
00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:09.599
So I was in a cast from my ankle to my hip.
00:23:09.920 --> 00:23:12.400
And um it was hard to move around and something.
00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:34.400
And so I remember, like I was so exhausted, I was a teller at the time, and I came home and I was just exhausted, and I was laying down on the floor in the living room, okay, and um laying on my stomach, and I moved my head, and I am nose to nose with a mouse.
00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:41.359
No, and I was like not screaming, but I really wanted to, and I was not okay with it.
00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:49.440
And I was like, um, um called my brother and uh um it didn't run away when you said something.
00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:52.480
No, I was like, um normally that's that sound would they would scurry away.
00:23:52.640 --> 00:24:07.759
I mean we were just like like not moving, not moving, just looking at each other, and it was like my brother comes running in, he's like, and he's like, whoa! And that's when you know it had like dissipated and ran and stuff, but I was like, that is not okay.
00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:09.359
I guess we'll get goosebumps with it.
00:24:09.519 --> 00:24:25.759
I just don't see where they go and you don't know where they're living, and it's just no, but growing up, we in a in the garage um back in the day, like they had those tubs for like new like to lose weight or something.
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:38.400
It was like it's all protein, and you would make it a shake or something, slim fast or something along those lines that it was a powder or whatever, and my mom was trying to lose weight or something, but she'd bought a bunch of it but never like used it.
00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:48.079
Yeah, so it was in the garage, and uh we joke about it now, and um, but it was kind of what we called I called the Rambo rat, and it was a mouse.
00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:52.559
Oh, but it was like so big because it had eaten all of the slim fast things.
00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:55.680
So this little tiny mouse was like this big.
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:56.960
It was like a rat.
00:24:57.119 --> 00:25:04.559
Yeah, it was like huge, it was so big, and so my dad had set the traps out everywhere, and he would set the traps off, right?
00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:09.200
But he was so big that he it didn't like like it didn't kill it.
00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:13.839
Yeah, and so you would see these like blood trails of like whatever.
00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:22.480
And of course, Rambo was big at the time, but so I was like, can you imagine like this rat this rat being like ah and like animated?
00:25:23.519 --> 00:25:26.880
You could have totally
written like a children's book about this Rambo rat.
00:25:27.839 --> 00:25:32.000
It really wasn't, but I in my head I had this vision of like Disney might have bought that from you.
00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:33.119
Maybe too.
00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:36.319
It's still for sale, copyright.
00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:48.160
Yeah, and I think it like ended up going into like an old like sink or something or luggage or something, and oh my gosh, it was like so funny, but just kind of like looked back and was like nice try.
00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:53.920
I think it's so funny as children we live in this like blissful ignorance, right?
00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:58.960
Like, because I never would have thought, so Gabrielle and I, most of you know, we grew up across the street from each other.
00:25:59.119 --> 00:26:03.200
I never would have thought that we had nice or rats in in that area, right?
00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:04.880
I never would have thought about it.
00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:16.480
And I remember when I was probably in my early 20s, I had moved out of the house, I think, by then, but um my parents had this area under the house.
00:26:16.559 --> 00:26:18.000
They we just called it under the house.
00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:21.680
It was like a basement kind of, but it wasn't tall enough to stand in.
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:24.160
And it's where they kept a bunch of stuff in storage.
00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:33.839
Well, I had a box of uh my grandmother made a bunch of she made us like homemade cabbage patch kids and stuffed animals and all the things.
00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:38.160
I had this doll that was like life size when I was seven.
00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:42.240
It was the same height as me that she'd made for me and everything, and kind of like a my buddy.
00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:50.640
Kind of, but yeah, and it had this yarn hair, her name was Alison, but um anyway.
00:26:51.039 --> 00:27:03.440
I lost all of those because apparently my parents under the house was infested with mice and they had nested in this box of these so but just broke my heart, right?
00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:09.680
Right because I was in my early 20s, my grandmother had passed, and everything almost everything that she'd ever made for me was down there.
00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:12.000
But my daddy didn't my daddy didn't let me like see them.
00:27:12.079 --> 00:27:14.000
He just told me, Oh, by the way, I threw all that away.
00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:17.680
Oh wow, and it was like you you what?
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:19.440
Like, we didn't try to clean it.
00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:22.160
He's like, No, I just got rid of it, you know, which part I mean now.
00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:24.240
I'm like, yeah, I wouldn't have wanted to try and clean it either.
00:27:24.400 --> 00:27:27.279
But sentimentally it was it was kind of a sad thing.
00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:33.440
So I still have I think I have two or three things that that she had made me that I had taken with me.
00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:37.599
Um but yeah, kind of sad, but mice.
00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:39.680
I never would have thought that they lived right there in town.
00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:42.400
Right in the city limits, like right, yeah, yeah.
00:27:43.279 --> 00:27:48.079
Yeah, because they're so good at hiding and they're so small usually, except for the one the Rambo rat that was in.
00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:50.799
They breed like maniacs.
00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:53.440
You just don't feed your mice slim fast.
00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:57.359
No, but keep your protein powders sealed tightly.
00:27:57.599 --> 00:27:59.920
The slim fast didn't slim them much.
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:08.160
It made it like seriously, like I mean, I'm like exaggerating, but you can imagine like having its muscles like protruding as it's walking and as its arms and stuff.
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:08.880
Oh, yeah.
00:28:09.200 --> 00:28:12.720
Like, I mean that's just how like it was so big and so limited.
00:28:13.279 --> 00:28:14.799
Very unattractive mighty mouse.
00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:15.680
Yes, exactly.
00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:17.119
A hairy mighty mouse.
00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:17.680
Yes.
00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:20.400
Yes, exactly, exactly.
00:28:20.960 --> 00:28:22.799
Like all it needed was like a bandana around its foreign.
00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:23.359
Like a villain.
00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:24.400
Picturing a villain.
00:28:24.480 --> 00:28:24.559
Yeah.
00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:26.000
All it needed.
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:31.119
Just the blue or red bandana around its forehead, and it would have been the Rambo.
00:28:31.680 --> 00:28:32.799
But anyway.
00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:38.240
I mean, this is this is we're invading their space, their homes, but I don't know.
00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:43.519
Yeah, technically it was the garage or under the house.
00:28:43.839 --> 00:28:45.200
Under the house, yeah.
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:47.200
That sounds like a really bad movie.
00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:47.440
Yeah.
00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:48.240
Under the house.
00:28:49.440 --> 00:28:50.880
It was a very creepy place.
00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:54.559
I remember like my mom would send me down there to like go get this, it's under the house.
00:28:54.720 --> 00:28:57.599
And then I'm like, I don't want to go under the house.
00:28:58.240 --> 00:29:01.200
Because it was an odd little basement because you couldn't stand up.
00:29:01.359 --> 00:29:04.480
So you're walking around in it like hunched over.
00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:06.240
Is it like a crawl space?
00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:16.640
Like it I mean, there's like the full-size door, like demand door to get to it, but then like the ceiling slopes, and it's probably like a total of four feet tall underneath there.
00:29:17.119 --> 00:29:21.599
So lots of storage space, but really awkward to get to, right?
00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:23.119
I wouldn't call it a basement, right?
00:29:23.599 --> 00:29:33.519
Like so it's kind of probably meant to be a crawl space,
but but you know, like our you know, our furnace and everything was under there and you know under the house.
00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:34.400
Under the house.
00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:38.799
And yeah, and the flooring was just like the uh black plastic that you're walking on.
00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:45.279
Any crazy stuff at your house when you grew up?
00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:47.200
We had a lot of cockroaches.
00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:51.680
Oh, I've been so thankful I've never ever had to even see one of those mothers.
00:29:53.119 --> 00:29:57.839
I'm so thankful to have moved here and not have I haven't seen a single cockroach.
00:29:58.319 --> 00:30:00.160
Except for one like on display.
00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:02.400
Like they're they had cockroaches at like the zoo.
00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:03.200
Right, right, right.
00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:06.480
They have a whole exhibit of cockroaches at the zoo, which is just weird.
00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:07.920
Kill them.
00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:09.200
They're not doing anything.
00:30:09.519 --> 00:30:11.680
This is not a this is not an animal we need to put on display.
00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:13.519
Oh gosh, I don't think you can really kill them.
00:30:13.680 --> 00:30:16.559
I think they're like, No, they like live forever.
00:30:16.720 --> 00:30:20.319
Yeah, and they can live in like any sort of environment.
00:30:20.559 --> 00:30:21.279
Yeah, yeah.
00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:24.319
Yeah, they said that like I don't know who they are.
00:30:24.559 --> 00:30:34.799
Um but I heard that if we had some sort of I don't know what, like a nuclear something go off, yeah.
00:30:34.880 --> 00:30:40.160
The one thing that would survive are the cockroaches, which I mean at that point, take me out.
00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:42.960
I know I don't want to be in this world about something.
00:30:43.200 --> 00:30:44.400
Isn't there a Disney movie about that?
00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:44.960
Like Wally.
00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:46.079
Wally, that's right.
00:30:46.559 --> 00:30:46.720
Wally.
00:30:47.200 --> 00:30:48.640
No cockroach that survived.
00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:49.039
Yeah.
00:30:49.119 --> 00:30:50.319
Um yeah.
00:30:50.799 --> 00:30:52.799
The robots going around collecting everything.
00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:53.440
Yeah, yeah.
00:30:53.759 --> 00:30:57.839
Um, yeah, roaches, uh, roaches in Hawaii are on a whole different level.
00:30:57.920 --> 00:31:00.720
They are See, I don't even want to know that Hawaii has roaches.
00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:02.400
Oh, they have so many roaches.
00:31:02.559 --> 00:31:03.119
Did you want to know?
00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:04.240
That's paradise.
00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:07.119
Hawaii, I I deem as like this paradise.
00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:07.599
Oh.
00:31:08.079 --> 00:31:08.400
No.
00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:10.480
No, no, not even.
00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:13.119
I mean, it's gorgeous.
00:31:13.200 --> 00:31:17.440
It's beautiful, don't get me wrong, but it the beauty comes with there's a price.
00:31:17.599 --> 00:31:17.920
Yeah.
00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:18.400
Yeah.
00:31:18.640 --> 00:31:22.480
The cockroaches in Hawaii, they're as big as your palm.
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:23.039
No!
00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:29.440
They're I honestly like as tall as long as long as your palm and how wide?
00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:32.480
Some of them are like actually almost as big as my palm.
00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:33.119
Nope, nope.
00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:43.119
And they are fast and they have antennas that and then they they fly at you.
00:31:43.440 --> 00:31:43.759
No.
00:31:44.240 --> 00:31:46.720
I didn't know cockroaches I didn't know they could fly either.
00:31:46.880 --> 00:31:47.279
Oh, they fly.
00:31:47.599 --> 00:31:48.240
Make sure they're at you.
00:31:49.039 --> 00:31:49.519
Are they jumping?
00:31:49.759 --> 00:31:50.799
No, they fly.
00:31:50.960 --> 00:31:52.960
They have they fly.
00:31:53.279 --> 00:31:55.039
They have wings.
00:31:56.799 --> 00:31:58.319
And they fly at you.
00:31:58.559 --> 00:31:59.519
The scariest.
00:31:59.839 --> 00:32:01.599
Okay, so do they have wings like bat wings?
00:32:01.680 --> 00:32:03.279
Like are they furry or are they hard?
00:32:03.359 --> 00:32:03.920
Or are they just like?
00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:06.720
Do you really think I got that close to a car?
00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:07.599
I don't know.
00:32:08.079 --> 00:32:09.440
She's like, I have no idea.
00:32:09.680 --> 00:32:11.279
There's no way I would even uh.
00:32:12.400 --> 00:32:12.720
Nope.
00:32:12.880 --> 00:32:13.440
Nope.
00:32:13.680 --> 00:32:14.000
No.
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:17.599
I um and when you kill them, when you squish them, they crunch.
00:32:17.759 --> 00:32:18.960
Well, yeah, because of the shop.
00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:22.480
I've killed a beetle before that probably some place.
00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:24.160
Like the stink bugs here, too.
00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:24.880
Like when you start the bugs.
00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:26.160
Oh, the stink bugs are off.
00:32:26.240 --> 00:32:27.680
They're like prehistoric.
00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:29.920
Lena's freaking out right now.
00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:32.880
Make an off the bug topic.
00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:34.720
I can't.
00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:36.880
I'm gonna throw up soon.
00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:38.559
Lena's gonna have nightmares too.
00:32:38.799 --> 00:32:39.119
So we can't.
00:32:39.359 --> 00:32:39.680
Moving on.
00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:42.079
No more bugs.
00:32:46.640 --> 00:32:49.519
What else do we have on the agenda today, Amy?
00:32:50.079 --> 00:32:54.559
Um, I want to know what goes through your mind in these certain situations.
00:32:54.799 --> 00:32:59.519
So, like when you when someone says to you, I'm just gonna give you an example, Lena.
00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:00.000
Okay.
00:33:01.519 --> 00:33:08.480
When you were in a relationship, think back to when you were in a relationship, when when when he says, can we talk?
00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:12.079
What goes through your
mind right there when some when he says that?
00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:14.240
He never wanted to talk.
00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:23.680
He never wanted to like initiate, because to me that's like a serious conversation, like something that can we talk?
00:33:23.759 --> 00:33:24.720
How about you, Gabriela?
00:33:24.880 --> 00:33:28.000
She's oh she doesn't bleed it out.
00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:32.880
Um it immediately I'm like, oh my gosh, how much money am I gonna be forking out?
00:33:33.039 --> 00:33:33.519
Can we talk?
00:33:33.839 --> 00:33:36.880
Like, I need to know like that's what comes to buy something on the findings.
00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:40.960
Immediately in your mind, it's like what a healthy relationship.
00:33:43.519 --> 00:33:44.400
Can we talk?
00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:46.640
What that they're talking before they spend money.
00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:55.039
No, that like the first thought you have isn't like, oh my god, he did something bad, or like, oh it's it's like a oh, what are we gonna have to do?
00:33:55.119 --> 00:33:56.000
Like, what are what are we doing?
00:33:56.160 --> 00:33:56.400
You're right.
00:33:56.880 --> 00:33:58.960
Right, because mine's like the opposite of what you just said.
00:33:59.039 --> 00:34:01.519
For some reason, I'm always like internalizing it.
00:34:01.599 --> 00:34:02.960
Like, yeah, like what did I do?
00:34:03.119 --> 00:34:03.359
Yeah.
00:34:03.680 --> 00:34:07.119
Like when he would say, can we talk?
00:34:07.279 --> 00:34:09.679
It'd be like, oh no, what does he think I did?
00:34:09.840 --> 00:34:10.559
What did I do?
00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:14.800
Like what like I was being accused of something that's what immediately goes through my mind.
00:34:15.199 --> 00:34:21.760
When I get asked, well, she doesn't say can we talk, but like at work, yes, if I get told, like, oh, do you have time to talk?
00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:23.119
Or like, do you have time to check it?
00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:24.400
I'm like, oh god, I'm getting fired.
00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:24.960
I didn't even do it.
00:34:25.199 --> 00:34:26.239
Right, you automatically do that too.
00:34:26.480 --> 00:34:29.119
I didn't do anything wrong, but maybe somebody lied about me.
00:34:29.280 --> 00:34:32.719
Maybe somebody thinks I did something, maybe I did something reflected to me.
00:34:32.960 --> 00:34:33.199
Yeah, yeah.
00:34:33.360 --> 00:34:35.360
It's just well, I can see that at work.
00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:37.199
But she said, like in a relationship.
00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:37.920
In a relationship.
00:34:38.239 --> 00:34:38.960
But I can see that at work.
00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:39.199
Yeah.
00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:41.440
So at work, is that where you go at work too?
00:34:41.760 --> 00:34:43.519
At work, I'm thinking, oh, did I do something wrong?
00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:44.159
Okay.
00:34:44.639 --> 00:34:51.440
I think if I were in a relationship with someone who wanted to talk, um I would also They should know better.
00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:52.559
They're in a relationship with Lena.
00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:53.039
They don't talk.
00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:54.320
She doesn't talk.
00:34:54.559 --> 00:34:55.360
They don't talk.
00:34:55.519 --> 00:35:00.880
Don't touch me, don't talk to me, don't even breathe near me.
00:35:03.360 --> 00:35:04.880
I have my hoodie on.
00:35:06.400 --> 00:35:07.760
That should be a clear indication.
00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:09.840
So when you say can we talk, no.
00:35:11.280 --> 00:35:13.119
Why are you even asking?
00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:22.000
How about um when someone introduces you to a person whose name you've already forgotten, what's going through your mind?
00:35:23.119 --> 00:35:25.199
I'm bad with names sometimes.
00:35:25.440 --> 00:35:27.199
Um I can remember a face.
00:35:27.519 --> 00:35:32.000
So if someone I would I I'm that person that says, I'm so sorry, I just forgot your name.
00:35:32.800 --> 00:35:33.440
Give it to me again.
00:35:33.599 --> 00:35:34.800
Like, I mean, that's fine.
00:35:35.679 --> 00:35:37.440
My name's long, so I get it.
00:35:38.320 --> 00:35:40.239
I will immediately forget someone's name.
00:35:40.320 --> 00:35:47.840
Like, if someone introduces, like if you introduced me to Lena, like literally moments later, I will go, I don't remember their name.
00:35:48.559 --> 00:35:53.440
I and I will have to go ask you because I won't admit to you that I've forgotten your name already.
00:35:53.679 --> 00:35:55.119
Oh, I'm like that too.
00:35:55.440 --> 00:35:58.880
Very rarely will I be like, I'm so sorry, I totally forgot your name.
00:35:58.960 --> 00:35:59.360
Can you tell me?
00:35:59.679 --> 00:36:01.599
I think Gabriel will be in all up front on the name.
00:36:01.840 --> 00:36:09.119
I do, I'm like, because I part of it is because I think my name is not as common as like Amy or I feel like it is though.
00:36:09.360 --> 00:36:11.679
It might be now, but like growing up it never was.
00:36:12.159 --> 00:36:14.320
So um, yeah.
00:36:14.559 --> 00:36:17.920
So I'm I'm okay with people saying I forgot your name or how do you say your name.
00:36:18.079 --> 00:36:22.239
And quite honestly, I'd rather tell them how to say my name versus them guessing.
00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:24.719
I just did that before.
00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:30.159
I not only forget names, I also very easily forget faces.
00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:30.880
Oh, really?
00:36:31.280 --> 00:36:31.840
So easily.
00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:41.599
So like if I don't see you for a long time, or if I've only met you once, I most likely than not could not pick you out of a crowd.
00:36:42.480 --> 00:36:57.280
Um so when I used to work retail, um, I had like a general spiel that I would do with all of my customers, and it was easy because I worked retail in a very like touristy part of Hawaii, and so we got a lot of tourists.
00:36:57.599 --> 00:37:00.800
So I never got the same customers twice, except I did.
00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:05.599
Um, and
so I had the same sex spiel where I'd be like, hey guys, how's it going?
00:37:05.760 --> 00:37:07.840
Oh, are you guys do are you guys visiting?
00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:08.800
Do you live here?
00:37:09.199 --> 00:37:11.039
Oh, you're visiting, oh, where are you from?
00:37:11.199 --> 00:37:12.960
Oh, okay, like how long are you staying?
00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:14.320
How are you liking it here?
00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:15.360
All these things, right?
00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:16.639
It just kind of flows in conversation.
00:37:16.880 --> 00:37:18.079
You really shouldn't care about the answer either.
00:37:18.480 --> 00:37:22.079
I don't give a single damn about your answer.
00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:24.480
And I'm an I'm a tourist going, yeah, from watching.
00:37:24.800 --> 00:37:25.599
It's my first time here.
00:37:25.840 --> 00:37:27.039
And you're like, I don't care.
00:37:27.440 --> 00:37:28.320
I don't care.
00:37:28.559 --> 00:37:34.960
Um, and so I've caught myself um more than a handful of times.
00:37:35.039 --> 00:37:43.280
Like on day two of a shift, I'm talking to a couple, and halfway through my conversation with them, I go, I've talked to you before.
00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:48.559
We had the exact same conversation, and you told me the exact same thing two days ago.
00:37:48.800 --> 00:37:49.920
What do they say?
00:37:50.159 --> 00:37:51.360
Um I don't tell them that.
00:37:51.760 --> 00:37:52.880
Oh, you're just saying it in your head.
00:37:53.119 --> 00:37:55.360
Oh yeah, in my head, I'm like, I know you.
00:37:56.000 --> 00:38:04.559
Um It's so funny because I actually like after when I realize that I do that, I'm like, oh my gosh, I just saw you two days ago and had this exact same thing.
00:38:04.719 --> 00:38:07.840
I will be the one person that brings it up and makes it really awkward for everybody.
00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:09.679
You know what I do instead?
00:38:09.840 --> 00:38:14.239
I go, yeah, and then I go in the back and I don't come on until they leave.
00:38:18.079 --> 00:38:20.079
Lita's just gonna hide.
00:38:21.920 --> 00:38:25.440
Meanwhile, in the back, I'm telling my manager, oh my god, you have to go help them.
00:38:25.599 --> 00:38:29.280
I just talked to them two days ago, and I just had the same exact conversation with them.
00:38:29.440 --> 00:38:30.639
You have to go help them.
00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:34.000
But you're maybe did you ever think that they don't recognize you either?
00:38:34.159 --> 00:38:38.320
Maybe they think you're a new uh a new cashier.
00:38:38.719 --> 00:38:41.440
A new uh I mean that's 100% possible.
00:38:41.599 --> 00:38:41.840
Right.
00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:44.639
Yeah, but I mean I can't chance it.
00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:56.239
But I mean, it's a little bit different because them going to a store is like Lena seeing hundreds of couple people a day where they're only seeing a handful.
00:38:56.320 --> 00:39:03.199
So depends upon how much shopping they're doing and how many clerks that look like Lena that live there.
00:39:03.440 --> 00:39:05.039
Oh, there's a lot of Asians in Hawaii.
00:39:05.440 --> 00:39:05.679
See?
00:39:06.000 --> 00:39:06.960
I didn't want to say it.
00:39:07.039 --> 00:39:08.400
I let her say it, okay?
00:39:08.639 --> 00:39:11.039
That's all the whole lot of us.
00:39:12.800 --> 00:39:14.159
I'm glad you got my point.
00:39:14.239 --> 00:39:14.639
Yep.
00:39:15.199 --> 00:39:16.480
Because I didn't.
00:39:17.119 --> 00:39:18.480
I was like, no.
00:39:18.719 --> 00:39:19.840
I don't understand.
00:39:20.079 --> 00:39:21.360
I mean Lena's Lena.
00:39:21.440 --> 00:39:22.800
I'm gonna not recognize Lena.
00:39:24.239 --> 00:39:28.079
That is because I remember a face, not necessarily a name, but I remember a face.
00:39:28.800 --> 00:39:30.639
You'd probably remember her the next year when you went.
00:39:31.039 --> 00:39:31.280
Probably.
00:39:31.519 --> 00:39:32.079
Yeah, probably.
00:39:32.480 --> 00:39:33.119
I would not.
00:39:33.360 --> 00:39:33.599
Yeah.
00:39:33.840 --> 00:39:35.199
She'd be like, I don't know.
00:39:35.280 --> 00:39:43.280
You and I probably would have had some sort of conversation and we would have shared something about like something that's happened in your life or something, and then like bring it up.
00:39:43.440 --> 00:39:44.960
When I was working in retail.
00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:46.320
Oh, there's no way.
00:39:46.559 --> 00:39:47.039
I don't know.
00:39:47.280 --> 00:39:49.679
No, you might have tried.
00:39:50.000 --> 00:39:50.480
Yeah, yeah.
00:39:50.639 --> 00:39:57.360
You would have been, I but I would have just retracted right back into my shelf, gone into the back and sent my manager out to talk to you.
00:39:57.679 --> 00:40:00.480
It's one of those things though, but people just share their whole life history with me.
00:40:00.559 --> 00:40:02.800
It's not necessarily that I say anything.
00:40:03.039 --> 00:40:10.239
Like you may ask me a question and I will answer it, which will bring something up with somebody, and they'll be like, oh, that reminds me of blah blah blah blah blah.
00:40:10.400 --> 00:40:15.039
And they tell me like way more information than I ever needed to know or ask about somebody.
00:40:15.119 --> 00:40:22.239
And I get a thousand times out of a thousand times they'll say, It's really weird, is I never share this much information with random people.
00:40:22.400 --> 00:40:26.400
I get that all the time, and I'm like, okay, I just love a way with people.
00:40:26.559 --> 00:40:27.440
I don't know, it's weird.
00:40:27.840 --> 00:40:29.440
You get that too, though, don't you?
00:40:29.679 --> 00:40:30.159
I think you do.
00:40:30.320 --> 00:40:32.960
I think I tend to ask a lot of questions and bring it out in people.
00:40:33.119 --> 00:40:34.400
People don't just open up to me.
00:40:34.559 --> 00:40:34.800
Yeah.
00:40:34.960 --> 00:40:38.400
I'm just that I I'm good at probing.
00:40:39.119 --> 00:40:39.440
Yeah.
00:40:39.679 -->
00:40:41.360
Yeah, they're such social butterflies.
00:40:41.840 --> 00:40:43.360
Lena's just like, don't talk too much.
00:40:44.159 --> 00:40:45.840
I did enough talking in retail.
00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:47.599
I no longer work retail.
00:40:48.159 --> 00:40:49.519
I've never worked retail.
00:40:50.000 --> 00:40:50.800
Nor am I.
00:40:51.039 --> 00:40:55.440
Well, I mean, I guess the front counter is public service.
00:40:55.840 --> 00:40:59.679
I worked uh at the letterbox, but I don't really call that retail.
00:41:00.559 --> 00:41:02.239
It's kind of public service.
00:41:02.480 --> 00:41:02.719
Yeah.
00:41:02.880 --> 00:41:10.400
Not necessarily like clothing or anything like that, but then I worked down at the I worked at the front desk at the sh outside the jail at the sheriff's office.
00:41:10.800 --> 00:41:11.440
You did do that.
00:41:11.840 --> 00:41:13.519
But I again would not call that retail.
00:41:13.599 --> 00:41:15.199
I was not selling anything.
00:41:16.159 --> 00:41:17.280
I hope you aren't.
00:41:17.519 --> 00:41:20.400
What about the the old folks home that you worked at?
00:41:20.800 --> 00:41:21.679
I was a waitress.
00:41:21.920 --> 00:41:22.079
Yeah.
00:41:23.119 --> 00:41:26.880
So for retirement slash nursing home.
00:41:27.039 --> 00:41:27.360
Yeah.
00:41:27.599 --> 00:41:29.119
Also, not retail.
00:41:29.280 --> 00:41:30.239
I did not get tips.
00:41:30.719 --> 00:41:32.000
You didn't get any tips.
00:41:32.480 --> 00:41:34.159
No, we were not allowed to accept tips.
00:41:34.480 --> 00:41:41.840
I did get several Christmas gifts a couple years in a row from the from the elderly gentlemen who like to consider themselves my grandpas.
00:41:42.159 --> 00:41:44.079
But that's so sweet.
00:41:44.320 --> 00:41:44.719
That's cute.
00:41:45.039 --> 00:41:46.320
Yeah, they were very sweet.
00:41:47.039 --> 00:41:47.440
Yeah.
00:41:48.000 --> 00:41:49.519
Well, I think that's about all.
