00:00:02.879 --> 00:00:04.240
Hey Jackie.
00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:05.599
Hey Mallory.
00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:07.919
We are sympathy.
00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:09.439
We didn't even plan this.
00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:11.919
This is just soul to soul.
00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:12.560
This is it.
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:13.759
We see each other.
00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:15.199
We see each other.
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:16.800
In the words of Caroline Manzo.
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:17.920
We see each other.
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:18.239
No.
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:18.480
No.
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:18.960
Nene.
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:19.440
Who was it?
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:20.000
Oh, Nene.
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:21.199
Come on.
00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:22.640
My apologies.
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:23.600
My apologies.
00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:27.359
Mallory and I both hopped on with autumn backgrounds.
00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:33.039
It's the most wonderful time of all the years.
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:34.640
We're fall girlies.
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:37.600
We are basic bitches for the fall.
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:46.240
This the fall, if you'll recall, is the time our friendship was really tested when you gave me that candle.
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:48.799
Yeah.
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:50.000
Mm-hmm.
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:51.920
Let's go back.
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:52.640
Let's go back.
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:55.679
I know we talked about this in maybe our first or second episode of this podcast.
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:56.159
Right.
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:58.079
But it bears repeating.
00:00:58.320 --> 00:00:59.200
It bears repeating.
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:00.880
It is the season to retell the story.
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:04.959
Yes, we have been talking about how we had very different candle tastes.
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:12.640
And then we met up at Friend of the Pod, Catherine's house, and you were like, I scored the last three of my favorite candles from Target.
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:13.280
Favorite.
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:14.480
When it's drop at Target.
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:18.079
You handed one to me, and I thought you were just like, smell it, you know?
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:21.040
And so I smelled it and I was like, it smells disgusting.
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:23.200
And you were like, Oh, okay.
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:24.719
So do you not want it?
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:27.680
And I didn't realize it was a gift you were giving me.
00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:28.799
It was a gift.
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:30.560
And I said, it smelled disgusting.
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:32.079
And you know, that was tough.
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:33.280
That was tough.
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:34.159
We were new friends.
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:35.200
We were new.
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:35.840
New friends.
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:36.000
Yeah.
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:37.920
End of summer, maybe a month or two.
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:39.359
And I said, you know what?
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:43.200
I'm gonna give my new friends my favorite candle from Target salted honey.
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:44.640
Salted honey if they sell it.
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:46.560
Hearth and home, I believe, is the line.
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:50.560
And uh so I brought them to Catherine's and I was like, here you go, new friends.
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:52.719
And Mallory was like, Oh god, this smells like shit.
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:53.280
No, thank you.
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:54.239
Just handed it back.
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:55.519
I said, Oh, I did.
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:55.920
Okay.
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:00.560
Catherine's husband was standing there like, oh, this is weird.
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:01.599
Mortify.
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:04.239
And Catherine, of course, was like, Oh, I'll take it.
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:04.799
I love it.
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:07.200
Love it more.
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:09.919
I'd love to have both.
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:10.719
Yeah.
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:12.479
Yeah.
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:14.960
So I knew you were a keeper.
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:15.439
Yep.
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:16.960
We can survive anything, you know.
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:18.400
I knew you were a keeper then.
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:19.280
I said, I love it.
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:20.879
I love the chutzpah on this lady.
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:23.199
It really wasn't hutzpa.
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:24.800
I did not realize it was a gift.
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:25.919
I would not have.
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:28.400
She told me to take my gift and shove it up my ass.
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:31.599
Shove it up your false scented ass.
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:33.680
And then you were like, oh no, I'll take it.
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:35.599
And I was like, well, no, I'm not absolutely not.
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:36.400
Yeah, yeah.
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:40.960
You're like, I'm not gonna waste one of these candles on you.
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:42.719
Did you take some with you?
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:43.680
Do you have some with you?
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:44.159
I do.
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:44.960
I have one left.
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:45.759
I have one left.
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:53.199
I moved all the way across here in our emergency small load that went on the airplane that got here first.
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:53.520
Yeah.
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:54.479
I couldn't remember that.
00:02:56.159 --> 00:02:56.800
I haven't lit it yet.
00:02:56.960 --> 00:02:57.520
It smells like shit.
00:02:57.680 --> 00:02:58.319
God, it smells so good.
00:02:58.479 --> 00:02:59.680
Salted honey at Target.
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:03.280
I don't advocate shopping at Target anymore, but if you do, it's it's great.
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:13.439
Um, also, I am wearing uh my new newest purchase from a breadfest here, which is a leather handmade witch's hat with the leather kitty riding.
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:17.280
You bought a leather handmade witch's hat.
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:18.159
Obviously.
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:19.199
Why would I not?
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:20.159
It's spectacular.
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:21.199
What does that cost?
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:23.439
What's that gonna cost you in Poland?
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:26.159
I think this was like$30.
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:29.199
This was pricey for a for an item.
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:30.879
Yeah, well, I mean it's leather.
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:33.280
Yeah, it's yeah, I wanted more.
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:36.479
And my husband had to like worn it around town yet?
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:37.599
Have you worn it out?
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:41.759
This month, I'm going to just wear this to like drop off and pick up and around.
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:43.520
This is the month, this is the moment.
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:48.000
You know that would have been handy, you know, when during your hair cutting.
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:49.759
You know what I mean?
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:52.000
Like, yeah.
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:54.159
It would have been, it would have been yeah.
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:54.960
But it's all right.
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:56.639
We're growing we're growing, you know, whatever.
00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:56.879
Okay.
00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:57.439
We're growing.
00:03:57.599 --> 00:03:58.560
Yeah, no, we're getting there.
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:00.400
We're gonna be even by any means.
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:01.680
But we're uh no.
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:04.879
Said it needs to be even, it just needs to grow up, you know.
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:07.520
It just needs to grow, needs to get out of there.
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:08.000
I know.
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:16.720
What I'm more concerned about is I need an update on Mallory's been sending me the funniest fucking text messages about O'Pair Gate at her house every year.
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:19.360
This is also the season to find the new Opair.
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:21.199
To find a new au pair, yeah.
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:26.160
And it's the season when we scroll through their pictures and say, what are we doing here?
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:27.040
So crazy.
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:27.519
Yeah.
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:33.680
It is it is weird because it's a little bit like a dating site, but you know, you start with you gotta start somewhere, you know.
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:38.000
It's like you're not gonna pick somebody who's looking crazy.
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:40.879
And some of these girls, they just they're looking crazy.
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:44.720
There is one that was just full tits out, okay?
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:53.279
Like, just couldn't have her profile, might as well have said, I plan to come in, steal your husband and your kids, and collude with him to murder you.
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:56.319
I mean, that's basically what it was giving.
00:04:56.480 --> 00:05:03.759
And I'd already seen her in like past, and then my husband sends me this text message that's like first thoughts.
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:05.040
Yeah, maybe you should read.
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:06.319
I can't remember exactly what he said.
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:08.319
It's her name is Isabel.
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:09.519
Isabel.
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:12.000
Isabel, she is on the beach.
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:26.399
She is Italian cans, she's a 10, she's stunning, she has a white dropped neck, top tied in the middle, boobies out, just a goddess, absolute goddess.
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:30.319
And Brandon's like, what's your immediate reaction to Isabel?
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:34.240
And you just say, I think you know.
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:37.759
I think you know, I think I think I think you know what it's gonna be.
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:38.399
You know what?
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:43.199
Leo recently mentioned he might like a bro pear, and Brandon shut it down so fast.
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:44.079
Absolutely not.
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:47.439
Amazing, amazing how that works, amazing how that works.
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:49.920
Yeah, yes.
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:56.399
And then you hit me, then you hit me with uh like a Chinese AI at not a real person.
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:58.720
Not a real person, not a real person.
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:02.399
I can't, I I almost wanted to hire her just to see what would show up.
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:04.959
Like, what is the bait and switch that's happened?
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:05.759
Horrifying.
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:11.759
I just want to go to the airport and pick them up and see what it is that comes because like it that was not a person.
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:14.959
That was an AI, like an early stage of AI, you know.
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:18.800
I mean, you're basically looking by looks at first.
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:20.079
That's where you start at least.
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:21.040
It's where you start.
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:23.759
And it's like, are you looking for the ugos?
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:26.480
Are you a dad looking for the hot ones?
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:28.399
Are you looking for someone mid?
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:33.360
Someone who's just like attractive enough, but not too much, you know.
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:37.199
I would say you say that, but then you also had Lou.
00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:42.240
I know I did have the world's the hottest au pair from France on the planet.
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:43.759
Yeah, Jackie's husband.
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:46.399
We thought for a while they might run away together.
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:50.560
Yeah, I know.
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:53.120
Summertime at the pool got a little tricky.
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:57.040
It did, it did because all the they all wear thongs.
00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:03.279
All the gals, they wear the thongs and with little gold belly chains, with a belly chain and an anklet.
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:05.040
Yeah.
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:06.399
Her patan.
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:07.920
Yeah, ask that don't quit.
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:08.480
That's true.
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:10.160
Just ask the don't quit.
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:12.160
But she was she couldn't have been a better opair.
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:14.639
I mean, she was so sunny and fun and she was amazing.
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:15.759
Kids loved her.
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:16.319
Yeah.
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:21.040
You are a better woman than I because she kept a donk under wraps around the house.
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:22.720
But yeah, literally.
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:23.680
I know.
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:24.720
Yeah.
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:25.680
You are you're a strong.
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:31.360
You know what I mean?
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:32.399
Like, yeah, yeah.
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:37.759
In the open days, I don't in the dark times, the before times, I don't think I could have done it.
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:38.399
Yeah.
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:38.800
Yeah.
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:39.360
No.
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:42.639
But we yeah, we've been having these, so we have these interviews, right?
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:46.639
And they're we're talking to a bunch of them, and it's just not we're not finding anybody.
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:47.759
You know, there's so many of them.
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:52.240
They get on and they're just like, you say something, and they're like, I don't know.
00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:53.439
I don't know anything you're saying.
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:56.319
And it's like, oh, I see you don't you don't speak any English at all.
00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:58.399
So we're gonna not, this isn't really gonna work, you know.
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:00.480
And then there's one, she was great.
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:02.399
She's like really high energy.
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:05.519
She's like, oh, I love punk music.
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:06.959
That's my favorite kind of music.
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:09.839
She's like into all these bands that Brandon likes.
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:12.800
And then I asked, What is like a super standard question?
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:16.720
Like, how do you think you'll do being away from your family, like you've always lived with your family?
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:17.759
Tears come.
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:19.759
She's like, I think it's gonna be really hard.
00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:24.000
And I was like, Okay, well, sweetie, I think perhaps we're not ready.
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:27.680
I don't think you know, like I think maybe this isn't it.
00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:31.120
Yeah, maybe this isn't this isn't for you.
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:32.960
So yeah, I know.
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:33.519
Yeah.
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:34.799
So where are we at?
00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:42.240
So I'm happy to report that our current au pair, who we love, love, love from Denmark, she's like telling us during this process.
00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:48.080
Oh, I have a like one of my best friends is uh like just entering the process, and we were like, Does she want to be our au pair?
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:48.559
Amazing.
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:49.919
She said, Let me talk to her.
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:54.960
We had a couple conversations with her, the kids talked to her, we loved her, she loved us, boom, done.
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:56.720
Great, yes, oh that's awesome.
00:08:57.039 --> 00:09:04.879
Yeah, and it's I Brandon's like, we just need to, you know, source these from the Denmark national gymnastics team because like that's basically what's happening.
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:08.720
It's another gymnastics coach/slash gymnast.
00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:10.000
I'm like, great, let's do it.
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:12.559
Yeah, let's just every year we'll, you know.
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:14.559
A better woman than I.
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:15.919
A better woman than I.
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:16.879
I know.
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:17.279
I know.
00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:20.080
Back to Lou, you know, back to Lou.
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:27.840
One of my fondest memories was we were all at, again, I think it was friend of the show, Catherine's house, and Lou was like in the backyard with the dads.
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:36.720
She was talking about how some of the other au pairs she had heard like hooked up with a dad or something, and she was like, I just don't understand how they could do it.
00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:38.960
Like these dads are just so old.
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:40.240
Like they're so old.
00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:41.759
So old.
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:44.080
And you just heard all the hearts break.
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:50.960
All the all the dads were like, You can go, Lou.
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:52.159
Yourself out.
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:55.039
I heard Mike being like, ah, all right, all right, yeah.
00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:56.159
You get it, you know.
00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:56.799
Yeah, we go.
00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:57.200
Yeah.
00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:01.200
That's everything Mike would run away with an opair, but it was that was a hard one to take.
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:06.799
That was a hard notch to fat and bald.
00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:07.679
It's disgusting.
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:08.240
That's right.
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:09.519
Makes me sick.
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:10.240
That's right.
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:12.240
She did say old fat and bald.
00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:14.559
And all of them were like, oh yeah, yeah.
00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:15.840
Oh, totally.
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:16.399
Totally.
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:18.399
Dads are disgusting.
00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:20.320
Dads are gross.
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:21.919
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:23.679
Anyway, are the burgers ready?
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:25.120
Yeah, I guess so.
00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:26.399
Like get back in there.
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:27.279
Yeah, exactly.
00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:28.480
Shovel it in.
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:30.080
Shovel it in.
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:33.200
She kept them humble.
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:34.240
She kept them humble.
00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:38.159
But yeah, the summers Mallory would be like, we'd be like, oh, you go into the pool?
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:45.039
Like, you know, we're gonna take Eva, whatever, and she'd be like, oh, I think Lou's there with the kids, and I'd be like, oh great.
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:46.960
Can't wait.
00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:47.360
I know.
00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:50.879
Can't wait to be in my bathing suit next to Lou.
00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:54.639
I know it's really fun being in a swimsuit next to you.
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:55.279
Love this.
00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:56.480
But she's so nice.
00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:57.360
She's I loved her.
00:10:57.840 --> 00:10:59.039
So I mean, she was the best.
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:00.799
She's so sad and happy.
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:01.120
Yeah.
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:04.320
That's uh that's a confidence uh test in your confidence.
00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:10.960
You know, Brandon works from home, and I've always said, like, I'll know something's happening if he starts showering more than once a week.
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:12.559
And so far that hasn't happened.
00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:13.919
So I feel safe.
00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:18.879
You know, if if there's an uptick in the cleanliness, then I'll start saying, What the fuck's going on?
00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:20.240
Why are your balls so clean?
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:22.960
If it didn't happen with Lou, it ain't gonna happen with anybody.
00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:23.600
So you're good.
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:29.919
You know what else says what else helps is that you know he from time to time has had to unclog a toilet, you know.
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:33.120
And I think that that'll that'll put things in perspective.
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:33.600
Yeah.
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:34.320
Yeah.
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:42.399
So I had a recent interaction that I want to tell you about that is it said we know the kinds of moms we have here in the white suburbs, right?
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:44.559
This there's about four, I would say.
00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:45.679
Four to five types of moms.
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:53.360
Not too much diversity, maybe liberal, maybe one uh one or two that would call themselves a fiscal conservative, you know, behind closed doors.
00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:57.360
But you know, it's is you're not getting a lot of variety.
00:11:57.519 --> 00:11:57.759
Right.
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:06.720
Well, at this back to school picnic a few weeks ago, I stand in line for 20 minutes to get Leo a fucking shaved ice and talk to this woman in line in front of me.
00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:07.600
Great conversation.
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:14.000
So then I'm at Eliza's sport, and I'm gonna say sport, so it's not so if she ever listens to this, she doesn't hear it.
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:19.440
I'm at Eliza's sport, and this same woman comes walking up because her kid is in the sport as well.
00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:22.480
And so I'm like, oh hey, like nice to see you again.
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:24.559
We met, and she's like, huh, okay.
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:26.799
I'm like, you got nothing.
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:28.320
There's nothing doing there.
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:33.440
So she sits down next to me and she's like, you know, we're just sort of chatting.
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:42.000
She's really slow on the uptake, just not having like, just not making a lot of connections and just kind of staring at me blankly.
00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:44.399
And as, you know, I'm like, what is going on with this?
00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:45.759
What are you on, lady?
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:48.159
Is this the same way lady that I met?
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:56.159
Like, so I'm like, okay, friend of the pod, Catherine, shows up because I had dropped our girls off and she was gonna pick them up.
00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:57.360
So I'm like, all right, I'm leaving.
00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:00.240
And then I text her, I'm like, sorry about that, Catherine, that lady's kind of kooky.
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:00.960
I don't know what's up with her.
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:02.320
And she goes, Oh, yeah, no, it's fine.
00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:03.120
I know what's up with her.
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:06.639
Uh, she just hit her vape pen and blew smoke in Vivi's face.
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:11.600
We got a new type of mom, folks.
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:12.639
The high mom.
00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:18.480
The high during your kids sporting during the week in front of other people.
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:18.960
Wow.
00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:26.000
When I tell you this woman, when Catherine and Vivi, who is her little daughter, show up, Catherine's like, Oh, you know, Vivi's been doing dance.
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:26.960
Do you want to show them your dance?
00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:28.320
And Vivi's like, No, I'm too shy.
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:29.840
The woman's like, Do you want to see my dance?
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:35.440
And she jumps up, starts doing like some of these moves, and like the robot.
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:36.000
Yeah.
00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:39.679
And she kept like trying to grab Vivi and be like, come dance with me.
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:42.080
And we were all like, No, no, don't touch, don't touch.
00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:44.080
You know, touching.
00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:45.279
No touching.
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:54.480
Our other friend Teal had like a little get together last night where we were supposed to watch practical magic, but instead we didn't ever turn practical magic on and just drank together and laughed instead.
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:56.879
But so we're Catherine and I were talking about this.
00:13:57.120 --> 00:13:57.759
We lived it.
00:13:57.840 --> 00:13:58.720
We were practically magic.
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:00.240
You were practically magic.
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:01.759
We were practically magic.
00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:04.960
And so I'm like, Katherine, I need the deets.
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:07.279
Like, what do you mean she blew smoke in Vivi's face?
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:10.559
She's like, Oh yeah, Vivi said she blowed smoke in my face.
00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:12.879
And I said, Well, maybe she's a dragon.
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:18.799
So then our other friend walks up and goes, Oh, are you talking about the name of the lady?
00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:19.759
And we're like, Yeah.
00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:20.799
She goes, Oh yeah.
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:29.200
We, you know, this other woman's daughter had a lemonade stand on Monday or Tuesday, and this woman showed up and she was visibly drunk and smelling of alcohol.
00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:30.879
I'm like, Oh dear.
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:31.440
What?
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:32.159
Oh dear.
00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:36.639
So we've got we've got a day drinker slash Haima.
00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:37.360
Oh.
00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:38.480
Wow.
00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:40.639
Puff the magic dragon up in the hood.
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:42.080
I know.
00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:45.039
I'm like, I could get behind the the the marijuana, you know.
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:45.279
Yeah.
00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:45.919
It's fine.
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:48.159
But you can't be drinking in the middle of the day.
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:49.360
That's that's all right.
00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:51.600
Well, let's not throw stones in glass houses, okay?
00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:56.639
We've I think we've had an after drop off cocktail or two.
00:14:57.679 --> 00:14:58.559
Yes, of course.
00:14:58.799 --> 00:14:59.279
Of course.
00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:00.000
I'm cool.
00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:02.320
Drink with other people.
00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:05.840
Obviously, that's what makes you mad an alcoholic, okay?
00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:09.279
Drinking alone at home during school hours.
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:10.000
Interesting.
00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:12.320
Well, now even another variety to add to the mix.
00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:13.600
We've got another, and you know what?
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:14.080
I like it.
00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:16.960
I like getting a type of a mom up in here.
00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:24.080
You know, it's you don't want too much homogeneity homogeneity, homo, homogeneousity.
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:25.519
Homogeneity.
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:27.679
Homogeneity.
00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:30.879
You don't want too much of it.
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:32.320
You don't have to want too much of that.
00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:33.279
You don't want too many homos.
00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:34.080
You don't want too many.
00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:34.960
You don't want too manos.
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:36.480
No, I would go for some homos.
00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:37.120
Are you kidding me?
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:37.759
I know.
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:39.759
Oh, what I would give for some homos.
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:40.960
That is what that neighborhood needs.
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:42.000
The neighborhood needs a shaker.
00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:42.639
100%.
00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:43.360
Oh, yeah.
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:44.559
50 shades of white.
00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:48.480
There are there are some homosexuals in the neighborhood.
00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:49.519
There are.
00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:50.159
Not.
00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:51.759
Yeah.
00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:52.559
Mm-hmm.
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:52.960
Yeah.
00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:53.360
Yeah.
00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:54.080
To themselves.
00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:55.039
Military.
00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:55.759
Yeah, yeah.
00:15:55.840 --> 00:15:56.000
Right.
00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:56.639
Yeah.
00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:58.399
Well, and there's some closeted for sure.
00:15:58.480 --> 00:15:58.639
Yeah.
00:15:59.200 --> 00:15:59.600
Good amount.
00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:00.159
100%.
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:01.120
Good amount of shit.
00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:01.600
Closeted.
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:02.879
Yeah, yeah.
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:03.600
We got a lot.
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:06.639
We're hard, we're harboring some closeted.
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:07.840
Yeah.
00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:12.559
Should we unveil my idea that we won't Brandon won't do for us, but that's.
00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:13.440
Yes, please.
00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:14.480
Yeah.
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:17.279
We begged him to, and he said, absolutely not.
00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:18.559
Are you insane?
00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:27.039
We begged Brandon to make a grinder account so that he would get the hits on who in the neighborhood is a grinder.
00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:27.759
Exactly.
00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:28.480
Exactly.
00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:29.200
Refuse.
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:29.840
He won't.
00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:30.559
He refused to do it.
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:35.200
He also said it's more fun to speculate, which I guess, you know, that's true.
00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:35.919
I guess.
00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:36.559
I guess.
00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:38.159
But you know, if you ever change your mind.
00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:48.240
It's sad that in the in the year 2026, there are some that I think are mutually like it's not a secret that the family is just, yeah, to the to the husband and wife.
00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:50.240
And they're just like, this is how they're living.
00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:52.720
And I wish that they felt like they could live out loud, you know?
00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:54.240
Just say this is our arrangement.
00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:55.600
Not in that neighborhood.
00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:56.240
Not there.
00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:57.200
No, not here.
00:16:58.080 --> 00:16:59.600
Not in most neighborhoods, honestly.
00:16:59.919 --> 00:17:00.320
True.
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:00.879
True.
00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:01.600
Not in most.
00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:02.559
Which is unfortunate.
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:04.319
Maybe we'll get there someday.
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:06.480
I mean, we've come so far, but we have so far to go.
00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:07.759
So it's October 1st.
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:08.880
We're recording this.
00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:17.839
Yesterday was we there's a group text with like the Americans that my husband works with and like our spouses and then our translators.
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:22.720
So it's how she's able to like let us know things and we're able to, you know, chit-chat, whatever.
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:27.039
I may I may have scared a few people in the group chat yesterday.
00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:31.839
So she let us know that yesterday in Poland was boys' day.
00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:34.079
So a little holiday for boys.
00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:35.920
They don't have enough.
00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:36.640
You know what?
00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:37.359
They don't get enough.
00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:38.400
They don't get enough.
00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:40.319
So she wanted to have to hear this.
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:40.720
Uh-huh.
00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:42.640
So it was boys' day in Poland.
00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:43.119
Yeah.
00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:49.759
And so if you see boys, you're supposed to give them like a little sweet treat or something to just let them know they're doing a great job.
00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:55.200
And she wanted to let us know different from Men's Day, which is another day of the year.
00:17:55.359 --> 00:18:02.319
So two holidays for the men, to which, you know, we're living in we're living in some times.
00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:04.160
And so I was not feeling yeah.
00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:05.680
I mean, we're doing it.
00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:07.440
Oh, we're getting into it.
00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:08.400
We're getting into it.
00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:12.240
But it's it we're we're on the heels of some things.
00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:16.960
So I was like already not feeling not either feeling boys' day or men's day.
00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:23.279
And I was like, let me Google before I speak out of my ass of like when is girls' day in Poland?
00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:26.319
Like to make sure like when's right, when's women's day?
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:33.200
Because I know they're gonna do something at school for boys' day, and my daughter's gonna come home and be like, we did all this stuff for boys' day, when's girls' day?
00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:34.400
So I'm already anticipating this.
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:39.759
So I look up Girls Day, and it's a holiday we've already celebrated this year, and I said, huh.
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:43.839
It's a holiday called Schmingus Dingus, is what they call it.
00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:45.759
And it's the day.
00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:48.480
I love the name.
00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:50.079
I'm gonna do that one.
00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:50.720
It's the day.
00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:53.039
Oh Schmingus Dingus, not boys' day.
00:18:53.279 --> 00:18:53.920
I'm sorry.
00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:55.359
It's right there in the name.
00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:57.519
Terrible branding, terrible branding.
00:18:57.759 --> 00:18:59.200
Should definitely be a bit more than a bit of a schmingus.
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:02.400
Schmingist is the day after Easter.
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:10.640
So we went to visit friends with their Polish family for Easter, and we were prepared for Shmingastinggus because everyone kept telling us about Shmingastinggis.
00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:18.559
And it's the day that boys get to pour water on girls' heads after Easter.
00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:20.720
Are you fucking kidding me right now?
00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:23.519
So Shmingistingus is supposed to be after Easter.
00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:33.680
It's like the celebration that Lent is over, and it's the way hundreds of years ago that the boys would cleanse the girls of all of their sins by splashing.
00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:36.240
Oh my god, schmingasting.
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:37.759
How dare you?
00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:40.240
But it's like more fun and modern now.
00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:45.519
So they were like, get water guns, like it's just like a water fight on the streets.
00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:51.440
So we like come packing, we're loaded, we're ready to go after Easter, and we did not get schmingist or dingust.
00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:52.240
We missed it.
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:54.000
No one schmingest or dingused us.
00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:55.039
But we were ready.
00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:57.839
So I look it up and it's like that's girls' day.
00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:00.160
And I was like, that's fucking girls' day?
00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:01.039
That's what they get.
00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:04.079
So so the boy, so that now I'm now I'm I'm heated.
00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:04.559
I'm turned.
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:14.160
Oh, I'm so now I'm on the group chat and I'm like, just to clarify, the boys in this country get boys' day where they get sweet treats and the girls get sprayed in the fucking face with water.
00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:14.880
This is what you're telling me.
00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:17.440
And it's called Twingus Dingus.
00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:19.839
The girls get waterboarded.
00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:22.240
Is there a women's day?
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:24.640
She goes, Oh, no, no, no.
00:20:24.799 --> 00:20:28.400
She was like, We they celebrate international women's day here.
00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:29.599
So they get a day too.
00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:31.039
And I was like, that day doesn't count.
00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:32.400
That's international.
00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:33.440
That's not the same at all.
00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:38.880
So then I had to be like, ha ha, oh, I was like, I'm just messing with you.
00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:41.839
And then I sent a meme that was just like, or am I?
00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:50.000
And then after I sent the paragraph that was like, I can't believe this, the boys get sweet treats and the girls get sprayed in the fucking face, and this is crazy.
00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:54.640
And I just sent the like my Matthew McConaughey ripping a cig with crazy eyes meme.
00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:55.119
Yeah, yeah.
00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:57.839
It was just like yeah, yeah.
00:20:58.160 --> 00:20:59.920
So I think I ruffled some feathers.
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:03.599
Whoever was afraid on that group chat is part of the problem.
00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:07.920
If you didn't like that, you can you can eat a schmingus dingus, okay?
00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:09.920
You can schming us your dingus.
00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:12.400
You can shrink us your dingus right out of here.
00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:13.920
Oh my gosh.
00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:14.319
Yep.
00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:21.279
And I'm sorry, you have something called a boys day where you give boys sweet treats, and being a homosexual is illegal.
00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:22.640
Get the fuck out of here.
00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:23.920
I'm sorry.
00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:27.599
Where you won't let some boys get the ultimate sweet treat that they really desire.
00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:28.559
Exactly.
00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:29.359
Exactly.
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:32.640
Giving boys sweet treats, but we hate the gays.
00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:34.160
Get the fuck out of here.
00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:36.079
It's ridiculous.
00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:40.720
So, you know, really love Poland, but that's one, that's one in the back.
00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:43.519
Yeah, that's one uh it's a negative.
00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:44.720
It's a negative.
00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:45.440
Didn't love that.
00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:45.839
Yeah.
00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:46.960
So that was yesterday.
00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:47.599
I was heated.
00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:48.160
I was turned.
00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:49.599
Luckily, Eva came home.
00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:56.799
They must not, she must not have realized that what they were doing for Boys' Day because she was I was prepared for her to be like, when is girls' day?
00:21:56.880 --> 00:21:58.720
When do we get a day where we get special cookies?
00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:00.720
And I was like, You get water in the Base bitch.
00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:03.839
Never been so happy to have a non-English school.
00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:04.559
Exactly.
00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:07.200
Because a lot of the people I just didn't know what was going on.
00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:08.240
She's like, nah.
00:22:09.039 --> 00:22:09.359
Yep.
00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:10.160
Really quick.
00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:16.079
I don't know if this has taken over the first graders in Poland like it has here, but Lush Life, have you heard of this song?
00:22:16.160 --> 00:22:16.720
It's old.
00:22:16.799 --> 00:22:18.720
It's some like Swedish singer.
00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:19.599
It's horrible.
00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:20.799
It sounds like AI.
00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:25.200
It's but the video we've been watching the video on repeat, and it's just her basically singing.
00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:28.480
But then there's like a person in shadow, but they have red lips on, right?
00:22:28.720 --> 00:22:34.160
And this this like person that's in shadow but has red lips was really been freaking Leo out.
00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:35.759
And he's been like, What's going on with that?
00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:40.960
So we're on a family walk the other night, and he goes, Mama, why was that black guy so weird?
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:47.440
And I was like, So I'm like, What what do you black people aren't we just because he's black?
00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:48.799
And he's like, Yeah.
00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:51.200
And I was like, start to go off on this rant.
00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:53.440
And Brandon goes, Do you mean the guy from the video?
00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:54.480
And Leo's like, yeah.
00:22:54.640 --> 00:22:56.240
I was like, Oh, thank God.
00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:57.039
You know?
00:22:57.279 --> 00:22:59.839
So then Brandon starts just poking me.
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:00.319
Needling.
00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:03.279
He's like, Leo, do you think mama should be that guy for Halloween?
00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:04.720
And Leo's like, yeah.
00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:08.720
He's like, should mama paint her face black for Halloween?
00:23:09.599 --> 00:23:12.240
Should she paint her face and her arms black?
00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:14.880
And Leo's like, oh yeah, definitely.
00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:17.039
And now that's all Leo's talking about.
00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:20.240
Can you paint your face and your arms black for Halloween?
00:23:20.400 --> 00:23:22.240
I'm like, no, I cannot.
00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:24.400
Mommy, please do black face for Halloween.
00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:24.880
Please.
00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:28.400
Please, please get canceled internationally for Halloween.
00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:30.559
The neighborhood needs diversity, mama.
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:31.039
Please.
00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:32.160
Yes, exactly.
00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:32.799
Exactly.
00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:34.480
If we won't do it, who will?
00:23:35.519 --> 00:23:36.799
You need to take a stand.
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:39.519
Then no one will be talking about the drunk high mom.
00:23:39.839 --> 00:23:40.079
Exactly.
00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:40.799
She'll be nothing.
00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:43.519
There's a new kind of mom in town.
00:23:43.680 --> 00:23:44.799
The blackface mom.
00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:46.000
It's blackface mom.
00:23:46.480 --> 00:23:47.359
Blackface mom.
00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:48.160
Jesus.
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:49.279
I think it's a great idea.
00:23:49.359 --> 00:23:50.079
I'm with Brandon.
00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:50.319
Yeah.
00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:53.279
Spicing things up in that neighborhood.
00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:53.599
Yeah.
00:23:53.759 --> 00:23:54.720
Who needs a job?
00:23:54.880 --> 00:23:55.200
You know?
00:23:55.359 --> 00:23:56.240
Who needs a job?
00:23:56.559 --> 00:23:58.480
Maybe we'll get people to listen to the podcast.
00:23:58.720 --> 00:23:59.519
Yeah, exactly.
00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:03.599
I'll have more time to focus on the arts, you know, like this podcast.
00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:04.079
Yeah.
00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:04.720
Yeah.
00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:05.200
All right.
00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:06.799
Well, I'm so happy it's October.
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:20.319
And I have convinced Jackie against her um own better judgment that next week we are going to be recording a special episode dedicated to romanticy.
00:24:20.720 --> 00:24:30.000
I've got friend of Pod Catherine lined up and another friend Teal who are deep into the universe, and we're going to talk about it.
00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:32.640
We're going to talk about Sarah J.
00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:34.160
Mass, who you don't know.
00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:34.640
Nope.
00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:36.720
She's an author of several of these series.
00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:39.039
We're going to talk about another series we all liked.
00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:42.160
So to listen to romantic.
00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:50.319
Jackie's going to be there wearing this hat to channel the mythical world of uh wizardry.
00:24:50.720 --> 00:24:51.279
Romantasy.
00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:52.799
Of wizardry, exactly.
00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:56.400
She's going to bring the wizard vibes and all of the snarky commentary.
00:24:56.640 --> 00:24:58.640
Yeah, wizard vibes and snarky commentary.
00:24:58.720 --> 00:24:59.200
Absolutely.
00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:01.039
That is all I can contribute.
00:25:01.200 --> 00:25:03.759
So yeah, I can't wait to see how that turns out.
00:25:05.599 --> 00:25:06.160
I'm excited.
00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:07.359
It's going to be great.
00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:09.839
You don't realize how many people read these books.
00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:11.039
I don't think I do.
00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:12.319
I guess we will see.
00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:13.279
I guess we will see.
00:25:13.759 --> 00:25:14.160
We'll see.
00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:18.319
And I hope everybody loved our esthetician, aesthetician to the star, Alex.
00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:20.880
Oh my gosh, she was fantastic.
00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:29.359
I've gotten so many, so many people have messaged me and texted me about what they heard on the pod, asking for recs, giving recs.
00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:31.440
So I think that was a great one.
00:25:31.599 --> 00:25:33.519
We'd love to have on more people like that.
00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:42.000
So if if you guys can think of any type of person you'd like us to have on, doctors, hairstylists, whatever it is, let us know.
00:25:42.319 --> 00:25:42.880
O pairs.
00:25:43.759 --> 00:25:44.319
Hot opairs.
00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:46.079
We can have hot opairs on.
00:25:46.160 --> 00:25:51.519
I don't know what they'd really what insights they'd give us in our 40 40 cents.
00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:54.160
I would like to interview the au pairs that have worked for you.
00:25:54.480 --> 00:25:56.079
Get the real the real story.
00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:56.720
Okay.
00:25:56.880 --> 00:25:57.440
That'd be fun.
00:25:57.599 --> 00:25:57.759
Yeah.
00:25:58.000 --> 00:25:58.400
That'd be fun.
00:25:58.640 --> 00:25:59.680
Sorry, we can get Lou on this podcast.
00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:01.599
Yeah, we'll get Lou on the pod.
00:26:01.680 --> 00:26:02.000
Exactly.
00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:02.400
Exactly.
00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:05.200
Now the NDAs are, you know, the little boy.
00:26:05.599 --> 00:26:05.839
Exactly.
00:26:05.920 --> 00:26:06.720
They're all expired.
00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:06.960
Yeah.
00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:08.079
They're all expired.
00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:09.359
Yeah, that would be fun.
00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:10.240
That'd be fun to hear.
00:26:10.559 --> 00:26:11.039
That would be fun.
00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:17.200
But yeah, even my husband who listened to the episode with his own sister was like, I learned a lot about skincare.
00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:19.759
Shocked and surprised.
00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:20.559
Yes.
00:26:20.880 --> 00:26:22.160
I understand how this works now.
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:23.440
I understand how it works.
00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:27.519
Oh, my husband's like, I'm up to the one with KDP, so he's not there yet.
00:26:28.880 --> 00:26:30.240
He hasn't gotten there yet.
00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:32.880
So maybe one day he'll listen to my podcasts.
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:40.160
Well, he's trying to find all the black face paint for you on the internet to make sure you're well hot opairs and the black face paint.
00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:40.480
Yes.
00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:40.960
Exactly.
00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:43.920
He's too busy on you know opairmatch.com.
00:26:44.160 --> 00:26:44.799
Yeah, exactly.
00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:46.480
OpeairTinder.com.
00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:48.160
Do not grinder.
00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:49.359
Thanks, Brandon.
00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:50.880
Thanks a lot, Brandon.
00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:52.000
Thanks a lot, Brandon.
00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:53.519
I'd love to have a bro pair.
00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:54.160
You kidding me?
00:26:54.319 --> 00:26:55.519
Oh my god, that would be the best.
00:26:55.680 --> 00:26:57.200
A gay bro pair would be heck.
00:26:57.519 --> 00:26:58.720
A gay European.
00:26:58.960 --> 00:26:59.440
Ugh.
00:26:59.920 --> 00:27:00.880
Is there anything better?
00:27:01.039 --> 00:27:01.279
Nothing.
00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:02.160
I mean, nothing.
00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:03.599
These men just won't let us have it.
00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:04.319
God damn it.
00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:05.759
They'd both let us have what we want.
00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:08.079
And on that note.
00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:11.839
Follow us on Instagram at a Kiki Catchup.
00:27:12.079 --> 00:27:15.359
We are also starting a TikTok, which is also a Kiki Katchup.
00:27:16.160 --> 00:27:20.000
She means to her because I don't know anything about I don't either.
00:27:20.160 --> 00:27:20.960
But you know what?
00:27:21.119 --> 00:27:23.200
We're gonna we're getting ready for the new year.
00:27:23.359 --> 00:27:25.839
So I like to watch my TikToks on Instagram.
00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:28.000
Instagram, so do I like my TikToks?
00:27:28.160 --> 00:27:28.240
Yeah.
00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:28.960
So do I.
00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:29.599
But you know what?
00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:30.880
We're gonna we're gonna reach you.
00:27:31.039 --> 00:27:32.319
Maybe one day we'll be on YouTube.
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:35.119
But that's that's crazy.
00:27:35.279 --> 00:27:36.240
That's crazy talk.
00:27:36.640 --> 00:27:39.359
We're gonna have to stop saying so much stuff that needs to be edited out.
00:27:39.680 --> 00:27:40.960
Like half this episode.
00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:42.559
So perfect.
00:27:43.039 --> 00:27:44.960
Once we figure out the tech, we'll do it.
00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:46.720
All right, Mel, it's been a pleasure.
00:27:46.880 --> 00:27:48.480
Enjoy the rest of your day.
00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:52.400
I hope you get a pumpkin spice candle up your butt.
00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:53.519
And thank you.
00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:53.920
Thank you.
00:27:54.079 --> 00:27:54.559
You're welcome.
00:27:54.880 --> 00:27:55.440
All right.
00:27:55.839 --> 00:27:57.200
Talk to you later.
00:00:02.879 --> 00:00:04.240
Hey Jackie.
00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:05.599
Hey Mallory.
00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:07.919
We are sympathy.
00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:09.439
We didn't even plan this.
00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:11.919
This is just soul to soul.
00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:12.560
This is it.
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:13.759
We see each other.
00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:15.199
We see each other.
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:16.800
In the words of Caroline Manzo.
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:17.920
We see each other.
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:18.239
No.
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:18.480
No.
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:18.960
Nene.
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:19.440
Who was it?
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:20.000
Oh, Nene.
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:21.199
Come on.
00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:22.640
My apologies.
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:23.600
My apologies.
00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:27.359
Mallory and I both hopped on with autumn backgrounds.
00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:33.039
It's the most wonderful time of all the years.
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:34.640
We're fall girlies.
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:37.600
We are basic bitches for the fall.
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:46.240
This the fall, if you'll recall, is the time our friendship was really tested when you gave me that candle.
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:48.799
Yeah.
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:50.000
Mm-hmm.
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:51.920
Let's go back.
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:52.640
Let's go back.
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:55.679
I know we talked about this in maybe our first or second episode of this podcast.
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:56.159
Right.
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:58.079
But it bears repeating.
00:00:58.320 --> 00:00:59.200
It bears repeating.
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:00.880
It is the season to retell the story.
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:04.959
Yes, we have been talking about how we had very different candle tastes.
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:12.640
And then we met up at Friend of the Pod, Catherine's house, and you were like, I scored the last three of my favorite candles from Target.
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:13.280
Favorite.
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:14.480
When it's drop at Target.
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:18.079
You handed one to me, and I thought you were just like, smell it, you know?
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:21.040
And so I smelled it and I was like, it smells disgusting.
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:23.200
And you were like, Oh, okay.
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:24.719
So do you not want it?
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:27.680
And I didn't realize it was a gift you were giving me.
00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:28.799
It was a gift.
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:30.560
And I said, it smelled disgusting.
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:32.079
And you know, that was tough.
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:33.280
That was tough.
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:34.159
We were new friends.
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:35.200
We were new.
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:35.840
New friends.
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:36.000
Yeah.
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:37.920
End of summer, maybe a month or two.
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:39.359
And I said, you know what?
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:43.200
I'm gonna give my new friends my favorite candle from Target salted honey.
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:44.640
Salted honey if they sell it.
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:46.560
Hearth and home, I believe, is the line.
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:50.560
And uh so I brought them to Catherine's and I was like, here you go, new friends.
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:52.719
And Mallory was like, Oh god, this smells like shit.
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:53.280
No, thank you.
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:54.239
Just handed it back.
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:55.519
I said, Oh, I did.
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:55.920
Okay.
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:00.560
Catherine's husband was standing there like, oh, this is weird.
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:01.599
Mortify.
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:04.239
And Catherine, of course, was like, Oh, I'll take it.
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:04.799
I love it.
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:07.200
Love it more.
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:09.919
I'd love to have both.
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:10.719
Yeah.
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:12.479
Yeah.
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:14.960
So I knew you were a keeper.
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:15.439
Yep.
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:16.960
We can survive anything, you know.
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:18.400
I knew you were a keeper then.
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:19.280
I said, I love it.
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:20.879
I love the chutzpah on this lady.
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:23.199
It really wasn't hutzpa.
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:24.800
I did not realize it was a gift.
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:25.919
I would not have.
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:28.400
She told me to take my gift and shove it up my ass.
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:31.599
Shove it up your false scented ass.
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:33.680
And then you were like, oh no, I'll take it.
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:35.599
And I was like, well, no, I'm not absolutely not.
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:36.400
Yeah, yeah.
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:40.960
You're like, I'm not gonna waste one of these candles on you.
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:42.719
Did you take some with you?
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:43.680
Do you have some with you?
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:44.159
I do.
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:44.960
I have one left.
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:45.759
I have one left.
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:53.199
I moved all the way across here in our emergency small load that went on the airplane that got here first.
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:53.520
Yeah.
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:54.479
I couldn't remember that.
00:02:56.159 --> 00:02:56.800
I haven't lit it yet.
00:02:56.960 --> 00:02:57.520
It smells like shit.
00:02:57.680 --> 00:02:58.319
God, it smells so good.
00:02:58.479 --> 00:02:59.680
Salted honey at Target.
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:03.280
I don't advocate shopping at Target anymore, but if you do, it's it's great.
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:13.439
Um, also, I am wearing uh my new newest purchase from a breadfest here, which is a leather handmade witch's hat with the leather kitty riding.
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:17.280
You bought a leather handmade witch's hat.
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:18.159
Obviously.
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:19.199
Why would I not?
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:20.159
It's spectacular.
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:21.199
What does that cost?
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:23.439
What's that gonna cost you in Poland?
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:26.159
I think this was like$30.
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:29.199
This was pricey for a for an item.
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:30.879
Yeah, well, I mean it's leather.
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:33.280
Yeah, it's yeah, I wanted more.
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:36.479
And my husband had to like worn it around town yet?
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:37.599
Have you worn it out?
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:41.759
This month, I'm going to just wear this to like drop off and pick up and around.
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:43.520
This is the month, this is the moment.
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:48.000
You know that would have been handy, you know, when during your hair cutting.
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:49.759
You know what I mean?
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:52.000
Like, yeah.
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:54.159
It would have been, it would have been yeah.
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:54.960
But it's all right.
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:56.639
We're growing we're growing, you know, whatever.
00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:56.879
Okay.
00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:57.439
We're growing.
00:03:57.599 --> 00:03:58.560
Yeah, no, we're getting there.
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:00.400
We're gonna be even by any means.
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:01.680
But we're uh no.
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:04.879
Said it needs to be even, it just needs to grow up, you know.
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:07.520
It just needs to grow, needs to get out of there.
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:08.000
I know.
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:16.720
What I'm more concerned about is I need an update on Mallory's been sending me the funniest fucking text messages about O'Pair Gate at her house every year.
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:19.360
This is also the season to find the new Opair.
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:21.199
To find a new au pair, yeah.
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:26.160
And it's the season when we scroll through their pictures and say, what are we doing here?
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:27.040
So crazy.
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:27.519
Yeah.
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:33.680
It is it is weird because it's a little bit like a dating site, but you know, you start with you gotta start somewhere, you know.
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:38.000
It's like you're not gonna pick somebody who's looking crazy.
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:40.879
And some of these girls, they just they're looking crazy.
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:44.720
There is one that was just full tits out, okay?
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:53.279
Like, just couldn't have her profile, might as well have said, I plan to come in, steal your husband and your kids, and collude with him to murder you.
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:56.319
I mean, that's basically what it was giving.
00:04:56.480 --> 00:05:03.759
And I'd already seen her in like past, and then my husband sends me this text message that's like first thoughts.
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:05.040
Yeah, maybe you should read.
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:06.319
I can't remember exactly what he said.
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:08.319
It's her name is Isabel.
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:09.519
Isabel.
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:12.000
Isabel, she is on the beach.
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:26.399
She is Italian cans, she's a 10, she's stunning, she has a white dropped neck, top tied in the middle, boobies out, just a goddess, absolute goddess.
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:30.319
And Brandon's like, what's your immediate reaction to Isabel?
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:34.240
And you just say, I think you know.
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:37.759
I think you know, I think I think I think you know what it's gonna be.
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:38.399
You know what?
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:43.199
Leo recently mentioned he might like a bro pear, and Brandon shut it down so fast.
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:44.079
Absolutely not.
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:47.439
Amazing, amazing how that works, amazing how that works.
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:49.920
Yeah, yes.
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:56.399
And then you hit me, then you hit me with uh like a Chinese AI at not a real person.
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:58.720
Not a real person, not a real person.
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:02.399
I can't, I I almost wanted to hire her just to see what would show up.
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:04.959
Like, what is the bait and switch that's happened?
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:05.759
Horrifying.
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:11.759
I just want to go to the airport and pick them up and see what it is that comes because like it that was not a person.
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:14.959
That was an AI, like an early stage of AI, you know.
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:18.800
I mean, you're basically looking by looks at first.
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:20.079
That's where you start at least.
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:21.040
It's where you start.
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:23.759
And it's like, are you looking for the ugos?
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:26.480
Are you a dad looking for the hot ones?
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:28.399
Are you looking for someone mid?
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:33.360
Someone who's just like attractive enough, but not too much, you know.
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:37.199
I would say you say that, but then you also had Lou.
00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:42.240
I know I did have the world's the hottest au pair from France on the planet.
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:43.759
Yeah, Jackie's husband.
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:46.399
We thought for a while they might run away together.
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:50.560
Yeah, I know.
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:53.120
Summertime at the pool got a little tricky.
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:57.040
It did, it did because all the they all wear thongs.
00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:03.279
All the gals, they wear the thongs and with little gold belly chains, with a belly chain and an anklet.
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:05.040
Yeah.
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:06.399
Her patan.
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:07.920
Yeah, ask that don't quit.
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:08.480
That's true.
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:10.160
Just ask the don't quit.
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:12.160
But she was she couldn't have been a better opair.
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:14.639
I mean, she was so sunny and fun and she was amazing.
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:15.759
Kids loved her.
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:16.319
Yeah.
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:21.040
You are a better woman than I because she kept a donk under wraps around the house.
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:22.720
But yeah, literally.
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:23.680
I know.
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:24.720
Yeah.
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:25.680
You are you're a strong.
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:31.360
You know what I mean?
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:32.399
Like, yeah, yeah.
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:37.759
In the open days, I don't in the dark times, the before times, I don't think I could have done it.
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:38.399
Yeah.
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:38.800
Yeah.
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:39.360
No.
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:42.639
But we yeah, we've been having these, so we have these interviews, right?
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:46.639
And they're we're talking to a bunch of them, and it's just not we're not finding anybody.
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:47.759
You know, there's so many of them.
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:52.240
They get on and they're just like, you say something, and they're like, I don't know.
00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:53.439
I don't know anything you're saying.
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:56.319
And it's like, oh, I see you don't you don't speak any English at all.
00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:58.399
So we're gonna not, this isn't really gonna work, you know.
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:00.480
And then there's one, she was great.
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:02.399
She's like really high energy.
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:05.519
She's like, oh, I love punk music.
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:06.959
That's my favorite kind of music.
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:09.839
She's like into all these bands that Brandon likes.
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:12.800
And then I asked, What is like a super standard question?
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:16.720
Like, how do you think you'll do being away from your family, like you've always lived with your family?
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:17.759
Tears come.
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:19.759
She's like, I think it's gonna be really hard.
00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:24.000
And I was like, Okay, well, sweetie, I think perhaps we're not ready.
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:27.680
I don't think you know, like I think maybe this isn't it.
00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:31.120
Yeah, maybe this isn't this isn't for you.
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:32.960
So yeah, I know.
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:33.519
Yeah.
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:34.799
So where are we at?
00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:42.240
So I'm happy to report that our current au pair, who we love, love, love from Denmark, she's like telling us during this process.
00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:48.080
Oh, I have a like one of my best friends is uh like just entering the process, and we were like, Does she want to be our au pair?
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:48.559
Amazing.
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:49.919
She said, Let me talk to her.
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:54.960
We had a couple conversations with her, the kids talked to her, we loved her, she loved us, boom, done.
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:56.720
Great, yes, oh that's awesome.
00:08:57.039 --> 00:09:04.879
Yeah, and it's I Brandon's like, we just need to, you know, source these from the Denmark national gymnastics team because like that's basically what's happening.
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:08.720
It's another gymnastics coach/slash gymnast.
00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:10.000
I'm like, great, let's do it.
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:12.559
Yeah, let's just every year we'll, you know.
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:14.559
A better woman than I.
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:15.919
A better woman than I.
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:16.879
I know.
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:17.279
I know.
00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:20.080
Back to Lou, you know, back to Lou.
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:27.840
One of my fondest memories was we were all at, again, I think it was friend of the show, Catherine's house, and Lou was like in the backyard with the dads.
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:36.720
She was talking about how some of the other au pairs she had heard like hooked up with a dad or something, and she was like, I just don't understand how they could do it.
00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:38.960
Like these dads are just so old.
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:40.240
Like they're so old.
00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:41.759
So old.
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:44.080
And you just heard all the hearts break.
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:50.960
All the all the dads were like, You can go, Lou.
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:52.159
Yourself out.
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:55.039
I heard Mike being like, ah, all right, all right, yeah.
00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:56.159
You get it, you know.
00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:56.799
Yeah, we go.
00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:57.200
Yeah.
00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:01.200
That's everything Mike would run away with an opair, but it was that was a hard one to take.
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:06.799
That was a hard notch to fat and bald.
00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:07.679
It's disgusting.
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:08.240
That's right.
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:09.519
Makes me sick.
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:10.240
That's right.
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:12.240
She did say old fat and bald.
00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:14.559
And all of them were like, oh yeah, yeah.
00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:15.840
Oh, totally.
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:16.399
Totally.
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:18.399
Dads are disgusting.
00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:20.320
Dads are gross.
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:21.919
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:23.679
Anyway, are the burgers ready?
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:25.120
Yeah, I guess so.
00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:26.399
Like get back in there.
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:27.279
Yeah, exactly.
00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:28.480
Shovel it in.
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:30.080
Shovel it in.
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:33.200
She kept them humble.
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:34.240
She kept them humble.
00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:38.159
But yeah, the summers Mallory would be like, we'd be like, oh, you go into the pool?
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:45.039
Like, you know, we're gonna take Eva, whatever, and she'd be like, oh, I think Lou's there with the kids, and I'd be like, oh great.
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:46.960
Can't wait.
00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:47.360
I know.
00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:50.879
Can't wait to be in my bathing suit next to Lou.
00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:54.639
I know it's really fun being in a swimsuit next to you.
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:55.279
Love this.
00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:56.480
But she's so nice.
00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:57.360
She's I loved her.
00:10:57.840 --> 00:10:59.039
So I mean, she was the best.
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:00.799
She's so sad and happy.
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:01.120
Yeah.
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:04.320
That's uh that's a confidence uh test in your confidence.
00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:10.960
You know, Brandon works from home, and I've always said, like, I'll know something's happening if he starts showering more than once a week.
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:12.559
And so far that hasn't happened.
00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:13.919
So I feel safe.
00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:18.879
You know, if if there's an uptick in the cleanliness, then I'll start saying, What the fuck's going on?
00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:20.240
Why are your balls so clean?
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:22.960
If it didn't happen with Lou, it ain't gonna happen with anybody.
00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:23.600
So you're good.
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:29.919
You know what else says what else helps is that you know he from time to time has had to unclog a toilet, you know.
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:33.120
And I think that that'll that'll put things in perspective.
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:33.600
Yeah.
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:34.320
Yeah.
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:42.399
So I had a recent interaction that I want to tell you about that is it said we know the kinds of moms we have here in the white suburbs, right?
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:44.559
This there's about four, I would say.
00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:45.679
Four to five types of moms.
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:53.360
Not too much diversity, maybe liberal, maybe one uh one or two that would call themselves a fiscal conservative, you know, behind closed doors.
00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:57.360
But you know, it's is you're not getting a lot of variety.
00:11:57.519 --> 00:11:57.759
Right.
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:06.720
Well, at this back to school picnic a few weeks ago, I stand in line for 20 minutes to get Leo a fucking shaved ice and talk to this woman in line in front of me.
00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:07.600
Great conversation.
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:14.000
So then I'm at Eliza's sport, and I'm gonna say sport, so it's not so if she ever listens to this, she doesn't hear it.
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:19.440
I'm at Eliza's sport, and this same woman comes walking up because her kid is in the sport as well.
00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:22.480
And so I'm like, oh hey, like nice to see you again.
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:24.559
We met, and she's like, huh, okay.
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:26.799
I'm like, you got nothing.
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:28.320
There's nothing doing there.
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:33.440
So she sits down next to me and she's like, you know, we're just sort of chatting.
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:42.000
She's really slow on the uptake, just not having like, just not making a lot of connections and just kind of staring at me blankly.
00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:44.399
And as, you know, I'm like, what is going on with this?
00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:45.759
What are you on, lady?
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:48.159
Is this the same way lady that I met?
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:56.159
Like, so I'm like, okay, friend of the pod, Catherine, shows up because I had dropped our girls off and she was gonna pick them up.
00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:57.360
So I'm like, all right, I'm leaving.
00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:00.240
And then I text her, I'm like, sorry about that, Catherine, that lady's kind of kooky.
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:00.960
I don't know what's up with her.
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:02.320
And she goes, Oh, yeah, no, it's fine.
00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:03.120
I know what's up with her.
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:06.639
Uh, she just hit her vape pen and blew smoke in Vivi's face.
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:11.600
We got a new type of mom, folks.
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:12.639
The high mom.
00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:18.480
The high during your kids sporting during the week in front of other people.
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:18.960
Wow.
00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:26.000
When I tell you this woman, when Catherine and Vivi, who is her little daughter, show up, Catherine's like, Oh, you know, Vivi's been doing dance.
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:26.960
Do you want to show them your dance?
00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:28.320
And Vivi's like, No, I'm too shy.
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:29.840
The woman's like, Do you want to see my dance?
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:35.440
And she jumps up, starts doing like some of these moves, and like the robot.
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:36.000
Yeah.
00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:39.679
And she kept like trying to grab Vivi and be like, come dance with me.
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:42.080
And we were all like, No, no, don't touch, don't touch.
00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:44.080
You know, touching.
00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:45.279
No touching.
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:54.480
Our other friend Teal had like a little get together last night where we were supposed to watch practical magic, but instead we didn't ever turn practical magic on and just drank together and laughed instead.
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:56.879
But so we're Catherine and I were talking about this.
00:13:57.120 --> 00:13:57.759
We lived it.
00:13:57.840 --> 00:13:58.720
We were practically magic.
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:00.240
You were practically magic.
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:01.759
We were practically magic.
00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:04.960
And so I'm like, Katherine, I need the deets.
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:07.279
Like, what do you mean she blew smoke in Vivi's face?
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:10.559
She's like, Oh yeah, Vivi said she blowed smoke in my face.
00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:12.879
And I said, Well, maybe she's a dragon.
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:18.799
So then our other friend walks up and goes, Oh, are you talking about the name of the lady?
00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:19.759
And we're like, Yeah.
00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:20.799
She goes, Oh yeah.
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:29.200
We, you know, this other woman's daughter had a lemonade stand on Monday or Tuesday, and this woman showed up and she was visibly drunk and smelling of alcohol.
00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:30.879
I'm like, Oh dear.
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:31.440
What?
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:32.159
Oh dear.
00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:36.639
So we've got we've got a day drinker slash Haima.
00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:37.360
Oh.
00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:38.480
Wow.
00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:40.639
Puff the magic dragon up in the hood.
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:42.080
I know.
00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:45.039
I'm like, I could get behind the the the marijuana, you know.
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:45.279
Yeah.
00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:45.919
It's fine.
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:48.159
But you can't be drinking in the middle of the day.
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:49.360
That's that's all right.
00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:51.600
Well, let's not throw stones in glass houses, okay?
00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:56.639
We've I think we've had an after drop off cocktail or two.
00:14:57.679 --> 00:14:58.559
Yes, of course.
00:14:58.799 --> 00:14:59.279
Of course.
00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:00.000
I'm cool.
00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:02.320
Drink with other people.
00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:05.840
Obviously, that's what makes you mad an alcoholic, okay?
00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:09.279
Drinking alone at home during school hours.
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:10.000
Interesting.
00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:12.320
Well, now even another variety to add to the mix.
00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:13.600
We've got another, and you know what?
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:14.080
I like it.
00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:16.960
I like getting a type of a mom up in here.
00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:24.080
You know, it's you don't want too much homogeneity homogeneity, homo, homogeneousity.
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:25.519
Homogeneity.
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:27.679
Homogeneity.
00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:30.879
You don't want too much of it.
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:32.320
You don't have to want too much of that.
00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:33.279
You don't want too many homos.
00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:34.080
You don't want too many.
00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:34.960
You don't want too manos.
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:36.480
No, I would go for some homos.
00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:37.120
Are you kidding me?
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:37.759
I know.
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:39.759
Oh, what I would give for some homos.
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:40.960
That is what that neighborhood needs.
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:42.000
The neighborhood needs a shaker.
00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:42.639
100%.
00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:43.360
Oh, yeah.
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:44.559
50 shades of white.
00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:48.480
There are there are some homosexuals in the neighborhood.
00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:49.519
There are.
00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:50.159
Not.
00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:51.759
Yeah.
00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:52.559
Mm-hmm.
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:52.960
Yeah.
00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:53.360
Yeah.
00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:54.080
To themselves.
00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:55.039
Military.
00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:55.759
Yeah, yeah.
00:15:55.840 --> 00:15:56.000
Right.
00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:56.639
Yeah.
00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:58.399
Well, and there's some closeted for sure.
00:15:58.480 --> 00:15:58.639
Yeah.
00:15:59.200 --> 00:15:59.600
Good amount.
00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:00.159
100%.
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:01.120
Good amount of shit.
00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:01.600
Closeted.
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:02.879
Yeah, yeah.
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:03.600
We got a lot.
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:06.639
We're hard, we're harboring some closeted.
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:07.840
Yeah.
00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:12.559
Should we unveil my idea that we won't Brandon won't do for us, but that's.
00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:13.440
Yes, please.
00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:14.480
Yeah.
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:17.279
We begged him to, and he said, absolutely not.
00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:18.559
Are you insane?
00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:27.039
We begged Brandon to make a grinder account so that he would get the hits on who in the neighborhood is a grinder.
00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:27.759
Exactly.
00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:28.480
Exactly.
00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:29.200
Refuse.
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:29.840
He won't.
00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:30.559
He refused to do it.
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:35.200
He also said it's more fun to speculate, which I guess, you know, that's true.
00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:35.919
I guess.
00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:36.559
I guess.
00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:38.159
But you know, if you ever change your mind.
00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:48.240
It's sad that in the in the year 2026, there are some that I think are mutually like it's not a secret that the family is just, yeah, to the to the husband and wife.
00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:50.240
And they're just like, this is how they're living.
00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:52.720
And I wish that they felt like they could live out loud, you know?
00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:54.240
Just say this is our arrangement.
00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:55.600
Not in that neighborhood.
00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:56.240
Not there.
00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:57.200
No, not here.
00:16:58.080 --> 00:16:59.600
Not in most neighborhoods, honestly.
00:16:59.919 --> 00:17:00.320
True.
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:00.879
True.
00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:01.600
Not in most.
00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:02.559
Which is unfortunate.
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:04.319
Maybe we'll get there someday.
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:06.480
I mean, we've come so far, but we have so far to go.
00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:07.759
So it's October 1st.
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:08.880
We're recording this.
00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:17.839
Yesterday was we there's a group text with like the Americans that my husband works with and like our spouses and then our translators.
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:22.720
So it's how she's able to like let us know things and we're able to, you know, chit-chat, whatever.
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:27.039
I may I may have scared a few people in the group chat yesterday.
00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:31.839
So she let us know that yesterday in Poland was boys' day.
00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:34.079
So a little holiday for boys.
00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:35.920
They don't have enough.
00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:36.640
You know what?
00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:37.359
They don't get enough.
00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:38.400
They don't get enough.
00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:40.319
So she wanted to have to hear this.
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:40.720
Uh-huh.
00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:42.640
So it was boys' day in Poland.
00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:43.119
Yeah.
00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:49.759
And so if you see boys, you're supposed to give them like a little sweet treat or something to just let them know they're doing a great job.
00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:55.200
And she wanted to let us know different from Men's Day, which is another day of the year.
00:17:55.359 --> 00:18:02.319
So two holidays for the men, to which, you know, we're living in we're living in some times.
00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:04.160
And so I was not feeling yeah.
00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:05.680
I mean, we're doing it.
00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:07.440
Oh, we're getting into it.
00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:08.400
We're getting into it.
00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:12.240
But it's it we're we're on the heels of some things.
00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:16.960
So I was like already not feeling not either feeling boys' day or men's day.
00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:23.279
And I was like, let me Google before I speak out of my ass of like when is girls' day in Poland?
00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:26.319
Like to make sure like when's right, when's women's day?
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:33.200
Because I know they're gonna do something at school for boys' day, and my daughter's gonna come home and be like, we did all this stuff for boys' day, when's girls' day?
00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:34.400
So I'm already anticipating this.
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:39.759
So I look up Girls Day, and it's a holiday we've already celebrated this year, and I said, huh.
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:43.839
It's a holiday called Schmingus Dingus, is what they call it.
00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:45.759
And it's the day.
00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:48.480
I love the name.
00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:50.079
I'm gonna do that one.
00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:50.720
It's the day.
00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:53.039
Oh Schmingus Dingus, not boys' day.
00:18:53.279 --> 00:18:53.920
I'm sorry.
00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:55.359
It's right there in the name.
00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:57.519
Terrible branding, terrible branding.
00:18:57.759 --> 00:18:59.200
Should definitely be a bit more than a bit of a schmingus.
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:02.400
Schmingist is the day after Easter.
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:10.640
So we went to visit friends with their Polish family for Easter, and we were prepared for Shmingastinggus because everyone kept telling us about Shmingastinggis.
00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:18.559
And it's the day that boys get to pour water on girls' heads after Easter.
00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:20.720
Are you fucking kidding me right now?
00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:23.519
So Shmingistingus is supposed to be after Easter.
00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:33.680
It's like the celebration that Lent is over, and it's the way hundreds of years ago that the boys would cleanse the girls of all of their sins by splashing.
00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:36.240
Oh my god, schmingasting.
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:37.759
How dare you?
00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:40.240
But it's like more fun and modern now.
00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:45.519
So they were like, get water guns, like it's just like a water fight on the streets.
00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:51.440
So we like come packing, we're loaded, we're ready to go after Easter, and we did not get schmingist or dingust.
00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:52.240
We missed it.
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:54.000
No one schmingest or dingused us.
00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:55.039
But we were ready.
00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:57.839
So I look it up and it's like that's girls' day.
00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:00.160
And I was like, that's fucking girls' day?
00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:01.039
That's what they get.
00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:04.079
So so the boy, so that now I'm now I'm I'm heated.
00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:04.559
I'm turned.
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:14.160
Oh, I'm so now I'm on the group chat and I'm like, just to clarify, the boys in this country get boys' day where they get sweet treats and the girls get sprayed in the fucking face with water.
00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:14.880
This is what you're telling me.
00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:17.440
And it's called Twingus Dingus.
00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:19.839
The girls get waterboarded.
00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:22.240
Is there a women's day?
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:24.640
She goes, Oh, no, no, no.
00:20:24.799 --> 00:20:28.400
She was like, We they celebrate international women's day here.
00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:29.599
So they get a day too.
00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:31.039
And I was like, that day doesn't count.
00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:32.400
That's international.
00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:33.440
That's not the same at all.
00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:38.880
So then I had to be like, ha ha, oh, I was like, I'm just messing with you.
00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:41.839
And then I sent a meme that was just like, or am I?
00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:50.000
And then after I sent the paragraph that was like, I can't believe this, the boys get sweet treats and the girls get sprayed in the fucking face, and this is crazy.
00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:54.640
And I just sent the like my Matthew McConaughey ripping a cig with crazy eyes meme.
00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:55.119
Yeah, yeah.
00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:57.839
It was just like yeah, yeah.
00:20:58.160 --> 00:20:59.920
So I think I ruffled some feathers.
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:03.599
Whoever was afraid on that group chat is part of the problem.
00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:07.920
If you didn't like that, you can you can eat a schmingus dingus, okay?
00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:09.920
You can schming us your dingus.
00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:12.400
You can shrink us your dingus right out of here.
00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:13.920
Oh my gosh.
00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:14.319
Yep.
00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:21.279
And I'm sorry, you have something called a boys day where you give boys sweet treats, and being a homosexual is illegal.
00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:22.640
Get the fuck out of here.
00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:23.920
I'm sorry.
00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:27.599
Where you won't let some boys get the ultimate sweet treat that they really desire.
00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:28.559
Exactly.
00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:29.359
Exactly.
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:32.640
Giving boys sweet treats, but we hate the gays.
00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:34.160
Get the fuck out of here.
00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:36.079
It's ridiculous.
00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:40.720
So, you know, really love Poland, but that's one, that's one in the back.
00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:43.519
Yeah, that's one uh it's a negative.
00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:44.720
It's a negative.
00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:45.440
Didn't love that.
00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:45.839
Yeah.
00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:46.960
So that was yesterday.
00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:47.599
I was heated.
00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:48.160
I was turned.
00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:49.599
Luckily, Eva came home.
00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:56.799
They must not, she must not have realized that what they were doing for Boys' Day because she was I was prepared for her to be like, when is girls' day?
00:21:56.880 --> 00:21:58.720
When do we get a day where we get special cookies?
00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:00.720
And I was like, You get water in the Base bitch.
00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:03.839
Never been so happy to have a non-English school.
00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:04.559
Exactly.
00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:07.200
Because a lot of the people I just didn't know what was going on.
00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:08.240
She's like, nah.
00:22:09.039 --> 00:22:09.359
Yep.
00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:10.160
Really quick.
00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:16.079
I don't know if this has taken over the first graders in Poland like it has here, but Lush Life, have you heard of this song?
00:22:16.160 --> 00:22:16.720
It's old.
00:22:16.799 --> 00:22:18.720
It's some like Swedish singer.
00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:19.599
It's horrible.
00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:20.799
It sounds like AI.
00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:25.200
It's but the video we've been watching the video on repeat, and it's just her basically singing.
00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:28.480
But then there's like a person in shadow, but they have red lips on, right?
00:22:28.720 --> 00:22:34.160
And this this like person that's in shadow but has red lips was really been freaking Leo out.
00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:35.759
And he's been like, What's going on with that?
00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:40.960
So we're on a family walk the other night, and he goes, Mama, why was that black guy so weird?
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:47.440
And I was like, So I'm like, What what do you black people aren't we just because he's black?
00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:48.799
And he's like, Yeah.
00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:51.200
And I was like, start to go off on this rant.
00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:53.440
And Brandon goes, Do you mean the guy from the video?
00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:54.480
And Leo's like, yeah.
00:22:54.640 --> 00:22:56.240
I was like, Oh, thank God.
00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:57.039
You know?
00:22:57.279 --> 00:22:59.839
So then Brandon starts just poking me.
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:00.319
Needling.
00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:03.279
He's like, Leo, do you think mama should be that guy for Halloween?
00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:04.720
And Leo's like, yeah.
00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:08.720
He's like, should mama paint her face black for Halloween?
00:23:09.599 --> 00:23:12.240
Should she paint her face and her arms black?
00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:14.880
And Leo's like, oh yeah, definitely.
00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:17.039
And now that's all Leo's talking about.
00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:20.240
Can you paint your face and your arms black for Halloween?
00:23:20.400 --> 00:23:22.240
I'm like, no, I cannot.
00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:24.400
Mommy, please do black face for Halloween.
00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:24.880
Please.
00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:28.400
Please, please get canceled internationally for Halloween.
00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:30.559
The neighborhood needs diversity, mama.
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:31.039
Please.
00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:32.160
Yes, exactly.
00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:32.799
Exactly.
00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:34.480
If we won't do it, who will?
00:23:35.519 --> 00:23:36.799
You need to take a stand.
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:39.519
Then no one will be talking about the drunk high mom.
00:23:39.839 --> 00:23:40.079
Exactly.
00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:40.799
She'll be nothing.
00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:43.519
There's a new kind of mom in town.
00:23:43.680 --> 00:23:44.799
The blackface mom.
00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:46.000
It's blackface mom.
00:23:46.480 --> 00:23:47.359
Blackface mom.
00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:48.160
Jesus.
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:49.279
I think it's a great idea.
00:23:49.359 --> 00:23:50.079
I'm with Brandon.
00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:50.319
Yeah.
00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:53.279
Spicing things up in that neighborhood.
00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:53.599
Yeah.
00:23:53.759 --> 00:23:54.720
Who needs a job?
00:23:54.880 --> 00:23:55.200
You know?
00:23:55.359 --> 00:23:56.240
Who needs a job?
00:23:56.559 --> 00:23:58.480
Maybe we'll get people to listen to the podcast.
00:23:58.720 --> 00:23:59.519
Yeah, exactly.
00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:03.599
I'll have more time to focus on the arts, you know, like this podcast.
00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:04.079
Yeah.
00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:04.720
Yeah.
00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:05.200
All right.
00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:06.799
Well, I'm so happy it's October.
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:20.319
And I have convinced Jackie against her um own better judgment that next week we are going to be recording a special episode dedicated to romanticy.
00:24:20.720 --> 00:24:30.000
I've got friend of Pod Catherine lined up and another friend Teal who are deep into the universe, and we're going to talk about it.
00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:32.640
We're going to talk about Sarah J.
00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:34.160
Mass, who you don't know.
00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:34.640
Nope.
00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:36.720
She's an author of several of these series.
00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:39.039
We're going to talk about another series we all liked.
00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:42.160
So to listen to romantic.
00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:50.319
Jackie's going to be there wearing this hat to channel the mythical world of uh wizardry.
00:24:50.720 --> 00:24:51.279
Romantasy.
00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:52.799
Of wizardry, exactly.
00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:56.400
She's going to bring the wizard vibes and all of the snarky commentary.
00:24:56.640 --> 00:24:58.640
Yeah, wizard vibes and snarky commentary.
00:24:58.720 --> 00:24:59.200
Absolutely.
00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:01.039
That is all I can contribute.
00:25:01.200 --> 00:25:03.759
So yeah, I can't wait to see how that turns out.
00:25:05.599 --> 00:25:06.160
I'm excited.
00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:07.359
It's going to be great.
00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:09.839
You don't realize how many people read these books.
00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:11.039
I don't think I do.
00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:12.319
I guess we will see.
00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:13.279
I guess we will see.
00:25:13.759 --> 00:25:14.160
We'll see.
00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:18.319
And I hope everybody loved our esthetician, aesthetician to the star, Alex.
00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:20.880
Oh my gosh, she was fantastic.
00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:29.359
I've gotten so many, so many people have messaged me and texted me about what they heard on the pod, asking for recs, giving recs.
00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:31.440
So I think that was a great one.
00:25:31.599 --> 00:25:33.519
We'd love to have on more people like that.
00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:42.000
So if if you guys can think of any type of person you'd like us to have on, doctors, hairstylists, whatever it is, let us know.
00:25:42.319 --> 00:25:42.880
O pairs.
00:25:43.759 --> 00:25:44.319
Hot opairs.
00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:46.079
We can have hot opairs on.
00:25:46.160 --> 00:25:51.519
I don't know what they'd really what insights they'd give us in our 40 40 cents.
00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:54.160
I would like to interview the au pairs that have worked for you.
00:25:54.480 --> 00:25:56.079
Get the real the real story.
00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:56.720
Okay.
00:25:56.880 --> 00:25:57.440
That'd be fun.
00:25:57.599 --> 00:25:57.759
Yeah.
00:25:58.000 --> 00:25:58.400
That'd be fun.
00:25:58.640 --> 00:25:59.680
Sorry, we can get Lou on this podcast.
00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:01.599
Yeah, we'll get Lou on the pod.
00:26:01.680 --> 00:26:02.000
Exactly.
00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:02.400
Exactly.
00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:05.200
Now the NDAs are, you know, the little boy.
00:26:05.599 --> 00:26:05.839
Exactly.
00:26:05.920 --> 00:26:06.720
They're all expired.
00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:06.960
Yeah.
00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:08.079
They're all expired.
00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:09.359
Yeah, that would be fun.
00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:10.240
That'd be fun to hear.
00:26:10.559 --> 00:26:11.039
That would be fun.
00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:17.200
But yeah, even my husband who listened to the episode with his own sister was like, I learned a lot about skincare.
00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:19.759
Shocked and surprised.
00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:20.559
Yes.
00:26:20.880 --> 00:26:22.160
I understand how this works now.
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:23.440
I understand how it works.
00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:27.519
Oh, my husband's like, I'm up to the one with KDP, so he's not there yet.
00:26:28.880 --> 00:26:30.240
He hasn't gotten there yet.
00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:32.880
So maybe one day he'll listen to my podcasts.
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:40.160
Well, he's trying to find all the black face paint for you on the internet to make sure you're well hot opairs and the black face paint.
00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:40.480

Exactly.
00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:43.920

Thanks a lot, Brandon.
00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:53.519
I'd love to have a bro pair.
00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:54.160
You kidding me?
00:26:54.319 --> 00:26:55.519
Oh my god, that would be the best.
00:26:55.680 --> 00:26:57.200
A gay bro pair would be heck.
00:26:57.519 --> 00:26:58.720
A gay European.
00:26:58.960 --> 00:26:59.440
Ugh.
00:26:59.920 --> 00:27:00.880
Is there anything better?
00:27:01.039 --> 00:27:01.279
Nothing.
00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:02.160
I mean, nothing.
00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:03.599
These men just won't let us have it.
00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:04.319
God damn it.
00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:05.759
They'd both let us have what we want.
00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:08.079
And on that note.
00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:11.839
