Episode Transcription

Speaker 1  0:00  

We were eating at Cava the other day, and it was nice outside, so we decided to go eat outside, and Brandon opened the door and just his food just fell and splattered right over in the entrance. 

 

Oh, no!

 

yeah, it was kind of fun to I was at a viewpoint where I could kind of see people trying to step around it and stuff. There was like another exit, but, yeah, that was like the only entrance. So it was kind of funny. Welcome to nervous laughter podcast. Welcome. I'm Alyssa. I'm Jamie. I totally thought with that sound effect, that you made that like shit his pants at Kava. Oh yeah, I guess that is pretty much the same.

 

Unknown Speaker  1:13  

So did they make him another one, or did he just buy another one?

 

Speaker 1  1:17  

So he was gonna just go buy another one, but they saw it happen, so they just gave it to him for free. So that was very nice. Kava is very delicious. Yes, I love that place, turns out, though. But another place I went to that's actually by kava, they sell coffee, and I tried one that was absolutely disgusting. I live texted Alyssa while it was going on. I got the updates, yeah. I was like, Dude, I'm at this coffee shop, and this coffee is disgusting, but I can't there's only one barista, so I can't, like, get another one. But then a new barista came, and while the other barista was busy, I just went and got a new one and toss the other one in the trash. I almost am wondering if maybe somehow the wrong ingredient got put in there, like, instead of like

 

Unknown Speaker  2:11  

apple juice, it was like apple cider vinegar or something, you know,

 

Speaker 1  2:14  

well, I did take a little sip of this one just to make sure it still tasted gross before we did the taste test today. Brandon also confirmed it was gross. Okay, okay, um, he was just like, uh, he just, like, made this face. I was just like, I understand because, yeah, I didn't like it that much. I kept talking about it, but, um, yeah, here let me, uh, let me pass out the resources, excellent. I'm thinking of it. I feel like the straw, because I feel like I'm gonna like it like this will be my coffee for tomorrow if you don't want it. Oh well, here you I think you can smell it better with this open lid. So let me let you smell it, and then just okay, it kind of smells like the ranch soda. It My first thought was steak sauce. Really, I don't know why, like some, some Heinz 57 or something, but it just smells like sour to me. But um, oh god, I'm like, my back is cringing thinking about drinking it again. But all right, here we go. Cheers, cheers,

 

Unknown Speaker  3:24  

oh, no, no, I swear, if you like this,

 

Unknown Speaker  3:27  

I don't mind it.

 

Speaker 1  3:33  

I'm sorry. I don't know what to tell you. Oh, is it my favorite thing? No, but like, if you were gonna just throw this away, I'm like, I'll drink it.

 

Unknown Speaker  3:45  

Would you order it and pay money for it? You think? I mean, maybe

 

Unknown Speaker  3:59  

this is the day our friendship take the turn. I don't.

 

Speaker 1  4:06  

I don't love it, but I don't hate it. Like, are you sure you don't want this? Because I'm like, I'm gonna drink this tomorrow. I am 100% absolutely positive I don't want that in my life.

 

Unknown Speaker  4:17  

And it is caffeinated, so be careful.

 

Speaker 1  4:21  

Yeah, oh, but the initial SIP is weird. It kind of tastes like artificially sweet. And I don't know what that is, take a few more sips and let me know if it changes. Because I felt like I the first step. I was like, maybe I can tolerate this. And then as I kept taking sips and texting you at the coffee shop, I just, like, almost gagged on, like, the fifth sip. I guess I'm just gross, because Alyssa is just gross. You heard it here? Well, I feel like I didn't make this a very interesting. Trying segment, since I'm just like, Oh yeah, it's pretty good.

 

Unknown Speaker  5:02  

No, no, it's good. We

 

Unknown Speaker  5:03  

know. We know where we lie

 

Speaker 1  5:07  

on the taste spectrum. I feel like this, I don't know, to me, like, Would I rather drink the ranch soda? Whoa, you disliked it that much? Yeah, because, like, at least, no, but I don't know. It's like the ranch soda at least has like, a little sweetness to it. And this just, I don't know, this just has like a NAS, it's like a nasty, sour coffee, like, I don't to me, I'm just getting kind of like apple cider, and then they mix some coffee and some fucking it is maybe kind of fizzy from the Topo Chico or whatever. Oh, yeah, which, speaking of, didn't even tell anyone what was in it. Sorry. It's called orchard crisp, and it has a crisp apple cider, maple syrup, oat milk, espresso, pumpkin spice and Topo Chico.

 

Unknown Speaker  6:03  

I'm into it. I mean,

 

Speaker 1  6:06  

I won't lie, there's a bit of a weird aftertaste that is kind of sour, but I do feel like sometimes you'll get that with espresso or coffee. So it's not that weird to me.

 

Unknown Speaker  6:18  

I guess you're just wrong.

 

Speaker 1  6:20  

No, I am. I used to drink angry orchard cider a lot, so maybe like, Oh, it's just like a boozy or a coffee version of booze I used to drink. Oh, okay, yeah, I can kind of see that too. But it's funny that you say that because I was like, Man, you have to like, like the taste of alcohol to like you alcoholic? No, I'm just kidding. So do you not like apples, or you just don't like this? I just don't like that. I think it's just like the mix of the apple cider, the espresso and the, I guess the Topo Chico with it. Well, I don't know. I feel like Topo Chico and espresso might not be bad, but, yeah, I don't. Anyway, thanks. I'm glad, I'm glad you like it, and it's because I saw someone, another chick, order it when I was there, and her another they sat down, and I was like, you're watching her face very intense. She was sitting with her back towards me, so I couldn't really tell anything. But they sat there for a little while, and like, sipping on it before they left. So I was like, I feel like, if I hated it and I didn't have my laptop and I was just there hanging out, I probably would have just left immediately and just threw it away outside. You know what it reminds me of, that I really like are those suckers that they'll put out around this time that are, like, caramel apple, and like, the sucker part is green, but then it's like, covered in caramel.

 

Unknown Speaker  7:47  

I have a shit. I

 

Unknown Speaker  7:52  

usually get some every year, but I didn't this year. We order

 

Speaker 1  7:57  

from Ike sandwiches a lot, and they always give us at least one of those suckers, but it's usually two. Oh, so we don't really eat them. So I've accumulated a lot, but I did give a handful to the red well, to her treating pickup, but I still have a lot.

 

Unknown Speaker  8:13  

I'll take all your Apple products.

 

Speaker 1  8:19  

Oh, yeah, give all, give all your nasty shit to Alyssa. And, um, I need a palette cleanser from that. So I did pick up a good coffee. They had candy corn coffee. Wouldn't it be funny if I didn't like this one? That would be funny because, like, I will know I, Alyssa loves candy corn. I don't. I think it's just because of tasty corn. I think that's right. Or would I marry actually? I think you would just fuck it anyway. Probably,

 

Unknown Speaker  8:46  

yeah, yeah. We don't even have to play fmk.

 

Speaker 1  8:51  

But yeah, I think it tastes good. I think the reason I don't like candy corn is it just takes waxy to me, but this is, like the flavor profiles of it.

 

Unknown Speaker  8:59  

So, cheers, cheers.

 

Unknown Speaker  9:04  

I will say I haven't tried it yet, but the smell

 

Unknown Speaker  9:13  

kind of reminds me of like mashed potatoes that you're getting, I swear,

 

Unknown Speaker  9:18  

if you don't like this and you like the nasty one?

 

Speaker 1  9:25  

No, it's good. Okay, good, good. I was like, really good. Wow. Alyssa might be sick today.

 

Unknown Speaker  9:31  

No, that's delicious. Thank you. I'm,

 

Speaker 1  9:35  

uh, you know, I'm, I'm glad to kind of know that some people actually like that drink. Because I was just like, What the fuck is like? How did they put this out there and just say, like, people will buy it. Idiots will buy I stand Correct. Stupid people. Listen. You know, you asked me if I would pay money for it. Maybe I wouldn't, but Well, if I did pay. Money for it, and I got that, I wouldn't be disappointed. Am I gonna go order it? No, but

 

Unknown Speaker  10:07  

fair you don't want it?

 

Speaker 1  10:08  

Yeah, no, I'm I'm glad it's not going to waste because, like, on the way home, I was like, damn it, this sucks, because when I'd be like, dumping this down the drain, but yeah, I'm glad that you like it. Thank you. Oh, should we shout out this place? Is it a local place? Um, oh, yeah, yeah, it's from a local coffee shop. Um, if you live here and want to know, and I know you, let me know if you're killer, don't bother asking. Yeah, she won't tell you. Um, oh, yeah. And just so you know what the candy corn coffee has in it, or candy corn cappuccino, it's a notes of vanilla, honey and caramelized sugar. With our house made candy corn syrup. Oh, I should try to make candy corn syrup. I imagine it's easy. Yeah, it probably is. I was actually thinking about trying to make candy corn, praline pralines, pralines, whatever. Because I would think that, and I'm not, like an expert, so I might sound like an idiot, but I would think you could, like, melt down the candy corn and substitute some of the caramel. Yeah, some of the wait, is it caramel or

 

Unknown Speaker  11:21  

chocolate? No, I think it's caramel.

 

Speaker 1  11:23  

Okay, yeah, because I think with the chocolate covered ones, don't you dip them in chocolate after they're done. I don't know. I'm not sure. No, I think you're right. I think it's caramel. I'm just like, I just read about it. Man, my brain is just so poopy today. You should make your own chopped like, yeah, if you start food streaming again, you could do like, I don't know that just made me think I chopped when you were like, Did you substitute? I'm like, fuck yeah, you can, if you're on chopped, yeah, substitute anything. I whenever I was like, a lot more into cooking. That's kind of how I liked cooking stuff. Because I'd always be like, Okay, what do I have in leftovers? And I make of it? Because, yeah, yeah, just fucking sick. But yeah, you should definitely try to make the syrup. Yeah, for sure, dope. Yeah. I was kind of just thinking you like, melt down some fucking candy corns. And there you have the one part candy corn, one part water. I mean, that's what simple syrup is sugar and water, so, yeah, I don't know. We'll see if I set my house on fire. Maybe you can make them the different, separate the colors too, and just have like, but I do have kind of a little mini news corner. No, that I was the dumb bitch that was our film.

 

Unknown Speaker  12:49  

Oh, yeah, not dumb or dumb and nasty. It depends on the day.

 

Speaker 1  12:54  

Depends on how I'm feeling. Um, so in case fat heads in here the louver security passwords. I think it was security camera password was

 

Unknown Speaker  13:06  

louver. Lol,

 

Speaker 1  13:10  

that was insane. I wonder how much Sorry to cut you off. But I wonder how, like the dollar value of everything in there and the fucking password was the name of the place. Yeah, it's pretty inferior.

 

Unknown Speaker  13:30  

And then I also have a little

 

Speaker 1  13:35  

Mount Everest update. Sip. While you do that, enjoy. Um. So you, you may have heard about this already, but it's, um, it was a Red Bull, um, I don't, I guess event, oh, I didn't hear about it. It is a, there's a man named

 

Unknown Speaker  13:58  

andrell or gal,

 

Speaker 1  14:01  

a 37 year old ski mountaineer from Poland, and he climbed Mount Everest without using bottled oxygen. Oh, hell yeah, and then skied all the way back down to the end of the snow after an ice fall. That's what the wait after the kombu ice fall. And I am reading, I just took a few snippets from from the Red Bull website, just to kind of give you a little recap of it. Sorry, we get our news on it.

 

Unknown Speaker  14:37  

Gives you wings.

 

Speaker 1  14:38  

Yeah, maybe I'll dig around there more. I'll do more, see what I can find. Maybe I would love that, because there's some different gamers who have become Red Bull athletes recently. So maybe we'll become like Red Bull athlete podcasters. That would be

 

Unknown Speaker  14:57  

awesome on September

 

Speaker 1  14:59  

20. Second. After nearly 16 hours of climbing in Everest, notorious death zone, he reached the summit and started his descent. He reached camp two that night and rested the summit. Bush had taken longer than planned, meaning darkness made it dangerous and difficult to navigate further that day, and I did watch, I watched most of it. The video they put out, I think, is like, 30 minutes long, and it's so I didn't, like, I wasn't, like, fully paying attention as I watched it. But yeah, it gets pretty scary. I mean, it's scary obviously, the whole way through, especially like, when he's, like, right at the summit going down, but, um, yeah, when it starts getting dark and he has to, like, turn his light on. Turn his light on, and it's crazy, because I assume you can't really plan your route that much, because it's just you can't see very far in front of you. So very scary. Oh, and there was one part two, where he, um, he drops his ski stick thing, and there's like a little hole that it just like falls right towards, but it landed like a crossed it, instead of like going straight down. It was very, very lucky. Stressful. The next morning, he skied through the treacherous kumbu ice fall, guided in part by a drone flown by his brother, Bartek, before safely arriving at base camp to become the first person to ascend and descend Mount Everest with no bottled oxygen. Wow, that was pretty small. Yeah. I figured you would like that. You should check out the video too. If you Oh yeah, yeah, sounds scary. I was thinking that might be cool to have a horror movie where somebody is like, mountain climbing. Oh, yeah, if that doesn't exist already, there might be, I just haven't really opposite of the descent, like underground and then above ground. Yeah, I feel like I just watch a lot of stuff where it's like, actual people going missing and stuff in the woods. And of course, like delet off pass. Oh, that's like the the one where I think they were, like, students, was it? I think it was in Sweden or Norway, and it was a group of students who went to the de la torf Pass area. You can hike and stuff. But, um, there was a they just, like, found their tent, and it was like, ripped open, and they found them, like, in different areas, like under snow and naked and stuff. And everyone was like, What the fuck happened? And they did find out, actually, what happened, like within the last few years. But I can't remember what it was, but, but yeah, it sounds maybe I'll do like a write up on it, and we'll, for

 

Unknown Speaker  17:49  

sure, an episode on it, for sure,

 

Speaker 1  17:52  

so crazy though. So does it say how he trained for that, or if he did, or if he just was fucking crazy and went for it. He, he, I didn't write any event down because I kind of skimmed over that. But he's like, trained, and he's like, known for, like, oh, all these, like, mountain things. And it said he's like, was the first or only person to do some other mountain with no oxygen and stuff. So okay, it sounds like it's kind of like a specialty of his. I mean, when you watch him do it, it's obviously not easy, like he takes a few steps and stops and, like, breathes for a long time and then takes a few more steps. Yeah. So it's like a, it is like a whole scary experience, but fucking crazy that that, um, he lived insane.

 

Unknown Speaker  18:44  

So congratulations to

 

Speaker 1  18:48  

Andre say, Oh yeah, that's crazy. The only other thing I have is there's, like, a newer product that Kate Spade came out with. I don't know if you might have seen it. It's at least making the rounds on my social media, like bubble

 

Unknown Speaker  19:07  

first girl, yeah.

 

Speaker 1  19:12  

And funny enough, I googled it just

 

Unknown Speaker  19:21  

anyway. Thanks for listening. Google,

 

Unknown Speaker  19:24  

um, I looked it up,

 

Speaker 1  19:29  

and I found people talking about it in the My Favorite murder subreddit. And I was like, that's that's funny, but, um, it is the hot dog statement ring. Oh, have you seen it?

 

Unknown Speaker  19:42  

No?

 

Unknown Speaker  19:46  

Oh, it's beautiful.

 

Unknown Speaker  19:50  

Okay, that's pretty

 

Speaker 1  19:52  

cute. Yeah, so it's a beautiful, silly ring.

 

Unknown Speaker  19:58  

This hot dog

 

Speaker 1  19:59  

ring. It's a topped with a crystal embellished hot dog. This cocktail ring is the chicest way to get your snack fixed. The just to describe what the ring looks like, it's basically like golden hot dog bun with a red not diamond, like crystal encrusted hot dog in a little mustard stripe squiggle. And there is a review. Oh, it's a three star,

 

Unknown Speaker  20:33  

disappointing. Despite being beautiful,

 

Speaker 1  20:37  

I love this ring so much I wanted for it to become available. As soon as I saw the Heinz collaboration video, I wore it once, and two stones already fell out, which is so sad, because it's a fantastic ring. And I don't think this is part of the Heinz collab because usually when I sound like an idiot, but usually when Kate Spade does collabs, the posting has an x and then what the collaborator is so just saying, stupid if you're gonna write a review, just bad you're gonna write

 

Unknown Speaker  21:11  

a review, God, before we fuck on these moon rocks.

 

Speaker 1  21:13  

And just to explain why, I know that is because in the My Favorite murder subreddit, someone said it was the Heinz collab. And I was like, Oh, was it? And so when I went and looked it up, I was like, Wait, all the Heinz collab stuff has, like, Heinz x. And then I was like, is that how all her other collabs are? So, yeah, I think this was just from a collection line called, what a snack. Oh, because she she also has, like, a matching necklace pendant. It's just a little smaller than the ring, like that one. And then there's also studs, earring studs

 

Unknown Speaker  21:53  

that are the hot dogs, but it doesn't have the, it

 

Speaker 1  21:58  

doesn't have the, sorry, not loading. Okay, the web page is, like, not working, but it's a it basically looks the same, just a lot smaller, and then it doesn't have a mustard squiggle on it. Oh, that's the best part. Yeah, I know you can't really tell it's a hot dog. So, okay, the earrings are a little disappointing necklace for sure. Yeah, yeah. I kind of want, like, a whole set, yeah. Like, I don't really wear necklaces and earrings, but I don't know, let's just Yeah, so silly.

 

Unknown Speaker  22:33  

Yeah, I haven't

 

Speaker 1  22:35  

really gotten into Kate Spade, like, not for any other reason, other than, like, there's just a million things in the world, yeah, you know, yeah. But I feel like Betsy Johnson does a lot of stuff like that, yeah, yeah, yeah. They both have just, like, some like, she like, cutesy like, Oh, I'm gonna make this look like a basket of cherries, or like a New York taxi cab, yep. So about it. I love that stuff. Me too. Have you seen anybody like selling it on the black market for like, a $500 hot dog, right? Oh, uh, I did see someone selling one on eBay. And I think if I remember it was more than I would want

 

Unknown Speaker  23:16  

to pay for it if I can find it real quick.

 

Unknown Speaker  23:22  

Okay? Actually, maybe I did not see one.

 

Unknown Speaker  23:25  

Oh, they're coming up with this other, like dog ring that she made. Yeah?

 

Speaker 1  23:31  

So, yeah, I guess there's a they're kind of rare right now. I think that they sold recently. So give it. Give it. Give it a little bit. I'll be on the lookout. Yeah, maybe Santa will bring you a hot dog ring. Oh, my god. Um, but you know, hot dogs have a good amount of protein. Yeah, do you eat hot dogs? I can't remember. Nope, okay, okay, I didn't think so. Weirdly craving one recently, but, um, I don't know, maybe I'll go to, like, a go get a sonic chili dog or something, yeah, sometime soon, but I'm good, but, yeah, no, I typically don't, don't eat hot dog. It is something that you don't want to think about when you're eating it, but when you are, you're like, rules, yeah, this is life, yeah, but then later, like, what did I eat? No, don't think so. Speaking of Kate Spade and fashion, I have something that an influencer posted.

 

Unknown Speaker  24:44  

To influence you to buy this product in.

 

Speaker 1  24:50  

Well, maybe I said too much. Oh, too much already from that,

 

Unknown Speaker  24:56  

I had it pulled up in an Instagram closed. Sorry, is

 

Unknown Speaker  24:59  

it a really popular. Their influencer,

 

Unknown Speaker  25:01  

I actually don't know.

 

Speaker 1  25:05  

Oh my god, watch. I know them. And I'm like, oh my god, I follow them.

 

Unknown Speaker  25:10  

Okay, here we go. I'm gonna hand the phone to you so you can watch it.

 

Unknown Speaker  25:15  

It's 22nd

 

Speaker 2  25:16  

our world was turned upside down when a fire broke out in our garage. I've been through a lot of tough things in my life, but this one takes since then, we have been trying to salvage what we can. Most of what wasn't taken by the fire, reeks of smoke, is destroyed by water damage. Presley's closet was the farthest from the fire, so I rushed to try to save her clothes. Has been a process, airing them out for 24 hours, soaking them in vinegar and borax for a few hours, and then washing them again and again every day, I just remind myself what matters most, and that my family is safe. Still in the midst of all of this, I'm finding some days I only eat once or twice, and I don't get nearly enough protest. Why doing a live body protein shake is such a lifesaver. They're quick, easy, made with all nuts.

 

Unknown Speaker  25:56  

Damn.

 

Speaker 1  25:58  

What the Oh yeah, this bitch is using her fucking house fire to celebrate.

 

Unknown Speaker  26:05  

That is fucking crazy.

 

Speaker 1  26:08  

I should have found out who it was. Let me see if the comments have any clues. But I mean, not that this makes it like any better, but like, I hope it was actually like a real house fire, and she's not just like lying about a house fire, and got those pictures somewhere else.

 

Unknown Speaker  26:26  

I thought you meant like she set her own house on fire. To do this,

 

Unknown Speaker  26:29  

that'd be even more the comments.

 

Speaker 1  26:34  

Okay, so you know, like whey protein, W, H, E, y, somebody said something way off here. Somebody else said No fucking way.

 

Unknown Speaker  26:47  

Okay upon looking,

 

Speaker 1  26:50  

no one has tagged her, which is unfortunate. Oh, maybe they got deleted all those comments, maybe. Oh, Paige Hathaway, it looks like wonder she's related to Annie Hathaway's. Maybe I do not like her. Her face annoys me. Oh, really, I like the Princess Diaries, but I love her face. I think it's beautiful. If you're listening, Anne Hathaway, don't listen to this bitch that likes the orchard, crisp, coffee, nasty. She does have a good, small role in Brokeback Mountain. She was like, he loved being up on that mountain with you. I didn't know she was this feels like a in the office when they were debating if that one chick was hot. I can't remember who it was, but I did not think she was particularly hot.

 

Unknown Speaker  27:48  

But why should I be judging? Why should I be judging?

 

Speaker 1  27:53  

Man, I'm looking at this girl's Instagram judging. I'm trying to find the house fire stuff. I wonder if she just took it down, because I'm sure she got a lot of backlash,

 

Unknown Speaker  28:07  

but, yeah, trying

 

Speaker 1  28:09  

to bear out Presley's clothes, and it's just stressful, but I make a little time to have my protein, yeah.

 

Unknown Speaker  28:17  

And also, she said, like,

 

Unknown Speaker  28:22  

I don't eat much in a day.

 

Speaker 1  28:24  

So I was like, is she trying to also appeal to people that are in, you know, everyone dealing with the food crisis right now, too. Oh, like she, she's probably, she looks like the type of influencer that, like, voted for food crisis.

 

Unknown Speaker  28:40  

Oh yeah,

 

Unknown Speaker  28:44  

she's like, this helps my small business

 

Speaker 1  28:50  

from home while I'd be a stay at home mom, kind of a boss. Bitch, any Boss Babes have free time and want to make some extra cash. DM me

 

Unknown Speaker  28:59  

work from your phone, from anywhere.

 

Unknown Speaker  29:05  

Well, moving on down our food list.

 

Unknown Speaker  29:13  

Oh, like, oh yeah, that's nice.

 

Speaker 1  29:17  

They opened a hibachi place, like five minutes from us, and I know you're hibachi lover as well. Yes, this place is pretty good. It's really weird because it's like, always empty, but the food isn't bad. So I don't know why it's always empty. Maybe you said

 

Unknown Speaker  29:35  

it's newer, right? Yeah, true.

 

Speaker 1  29:39  

The first time that G and I went, like, yeah, we'll sit at a grill. Because the place we used to go, the grills would just like, fill up. Oh well, we were the only two people sitting there. It was so awkward. And like, you guys like, have to socialize with the chef. Yeah. I. Just like, trying to be really engaged and interested. But the chef was kind of like making, like, Gen Z jokes that I feel like he didn't really understand. Because it's like, I'm married to a 70 year old man. Sometimes I'm like, the brainwash brought half of our relationship too. Sometimes I'll have to, like, explain to Brandon. He's like, I'm just like, see you learn stuff from brain rot. Sometimes, yeah, that's me and G I'm like, Okay, well, let me explain this, like five layers deep, like brain rot. So that I can tell you this one thing, I can't I wish I could remember what one of the things that stuck out to me was, I feel like he sang some Justin Bieber song or something. It was just, it was really weird. And then, like halfway through, I think he realized it was awkward, so he just cooked in silence, and we just, did you guys even talk to each other or just a little bit?

 

Unknown Speaker  31:05  

Yeah, that was not a good time.

 

Speaker 1  31:10  

Did he do the onion train? Did you train that may have been after the silent part like he didn't

 

Unknown Speaker  31:19  

just like, they're not gonna like,

 

Speaker 1  31:25  

yeah, I love an onion choo choo train or volcano, yeah, oh yeah. No, they do the train, yeah. I also like when they mean egg rolls, a classic one little egg, oh yeah. And then I like the little beating heart too. Oh, when they do in the race, yeah, yeah, that's cool. But we decided that, well, we've been back there a couple times, but we decided we're gonna go with a couple people. And we got there and it was the most crowded we'd ever seen it. We're like, oh, maybe we will sit at a table, because it looks like there will be enough people where it won't be weird. But we got in there, it was like a 30 minute wait. So we decided to just eat at a regular table, not at a grill. We're all like catching up, and somebody's talking about one of their family members that I kind of know, and how she might have cancer. And so it's like a bummer topic, like, Oh my gosh. Like, what's the next step? Blah,

 

Unknown Speaker  32:29  

blah, blah. Why did you bring this to the hibachi table?

 

Unknown Speaker  32:33  

This is too bummer from hibachi. Okay,

 

Speaker 1  32:39  

so we're talking about this, and then from the other fucking room, because we're like, right next to the hibachi room, you hear that chef that we had the first time being Like, Oh yeah, oh

 

Unknown Speaker  32:58  

yeah, doing that weird Gen Z. And Z

 

Unknown Speaker  33:00  

push it.

 

Unknown Speaker  33:04  

So I'm like, don't listen. We're talking about cancer. Don't listen.

 

Speaker 1  33:10  

My cousin just started laughing. And I was like, Okay, I was having a really hard time ignoring that. I don't know what the fuck was going on in there. He was probably like, Can I get a home? Yeah, trying to get the whole table to do it. Oh, my God. And that was probably awkward, too, dude. And then, like, it was, like, everybody's fucking birthday over there. I feel like we heard Happy Birthday, like, three different times. We're like, talking about, we need to go through my grandpa's house and kind of like, split up his possessions and stuff, and then next door, it's like, happy birthday.

 

Unknown Speaker  33:51  

Oh yeah, happy birthday.

 

Unknown Speaker  33:55  

Your grandpa's dead. They're like, beating that little drum.

 

Unknown Speaker  34:00  

Happy cancer to you, it's like, yeah.

 

Unknown Speaker  34:04  

What a mix of Yeah. So that was

 

Unknown Speaker  34:08  

pretty as a place of celebration,

 

Speaker 1  34:13  

yeah, I guess our topics were too bummer for hibachi, I don't know, but yeah, after we left, he was like, Well, I'm glad that we got to sit at a table so that we could talk, because, like, we definitely could have, couldn't have talked at like, that table. Yeah, yeah. Oh,

 

Unknown Speaker  34:31  

my god, yeah.

 

Unknown Speaker  34:32  

So that was pretty funny.

 

Speaker 1  34:37  

I forgot what my segue was for this next one, so I'm just gonna jump into it. Sure, if we think of one, we'll say it later. Oh yeah, perfect.

 

Unknown Speaker  34:48  

A late segue. Sorry.

 

Speaker 1  34:52  

I was just had a memory the other day of my friend and I hanging out at the. Very popular dive bar in Georgetown where I grew up, and it's called the Office lounge rip maybe because there was a fire there earlier this year and it hasn't opened back up yet. Did

 

Unknown Speaker  35:16  

they use it to sell protein?

 

Speaker 1  35:21  

Like if you we really need a fucking drink because this building's burned down, you should come have one with us at the office lounge. Dude, that would be gold, if they, like, made fun of her in a way to do the end of that, that would be awesome, yeah, but the office lounge fucking ruled. I haven't been there in a long time, and I'm really sad that I didn't go before the fire, because I don't know if I'll open back up. But for whatever reason, I was thinking about it the other day, and I went with my friend, who she's a little older than me, like, at the time, she was probably, like, in her 50s or something. And so we go, we're hanging out drinking. Like this Boomer guy comes up and starts talking to us and, like, he's more so flirting with her, but also kind of just like being a flirt in general, okay, yeah, yeah. Sort of like talking and whatever. And we gave him fake names. I made them up on the spot. Do you remember yours? I don't. Oh, damn it, I don't. That's a good that was a good move, though. Yeah, good move, yeah. Back at that time, when I was hanging out in bars, a lot, I loved making up a fake name.

 

Unknown Speaker  36:42  

That's was like, I'm a knit person right now.

 

Unknown Speaker  36:46  

I'm Hallie. I'm not Alyssa. I

 

Speaker 1  36:49  

just have so many different personalities. They just come out.

 

Unknown Speaker  36:54  

They were like, sitting there chatting with this guy, and

 

Speaker 1  36:59  

all of a sudden something falls out of his shirt pocket, and we look and it's fucking like, denture adhesive.

 

Unknown Speaker  37:11  

Oh, poor guy. And

 

Speaker 1  37:15  

my friend's like, Oh, what's that? Is that polygrip? And he's like, yeah, just got my new teeth, but they were very nice teeth, but I guess he was still kind of getting used to, like, keeping them in, you know, oh, he was trying to spit game, but he was just spitting his dentures, poly grip. Oh, my God. We laughed about that for so long. And I remember, for Christmas that year, I made her a poly grip magnet.

 

Unknown Speaker  37:46  

Oh, my God, that was a

 

Speaker 1  37:49  

cute idea. Did you use, like, actual poly grip or just, like craft a little I got, like, a picture of poly grip, and then, like, put it on a magnet. Nice. Yeah, that was really fun. But the office lounge, it's awesome.

 

Unknown Speaker  38:05  

Anybody from

 

Speaker 1  38:07  

this area that grew up here knows exactly where I'm talking about and has a story about the office lounge. Write them in if you do. Yeah, please fucking do like, I can't remember anything that crazy. I mean, I definitely threw up in the bathroom, for sure. They have karaoke a lot, and I remember my friend sung that country song, strawberry wine. There's basically like a girl losing her virginity in a field. Oh. But yeah. But since that guy did not go home with either of us, polygroup guy, he was probably went home and did this term that I learned about. Oh, that sounds like jerking. It is okay.

 

Unknown Speaker  39:09  

So, gee,

 

Unknown Speaker  39:11  

he was following

 

Speaker 1  39:13  

some like race event where like guys were going to different places and racing cars or something, and they had a Facebook group. Somebody posted like, Hey, guy in room 55 like, you need to close the curtains if you're going to sit there and feed the geese. So I guess there was a hotel where most of them were staying. This guy was just like, jerking off with the hotel curtains open, and people were, like, telling each other about it, so they would all like, go by and like,

 

Unknown Speaker  39:49  

this is probably his

 

Speaker 1  39:50  

kink. Oh, maybe, maybe not so, but we're like, eating the geese. What the fuck. And then I think G looked it up, and it's like. Like this motion, oh, okay, kind of like a, you know, yeah, juggling diet, not juggling dice, taking dice or whatever.

 

Unknown Speaker  40:12  

Okay, feeding the geese. I've never, never heard that

 

Speaker 1  40:15  

before. I didn't either, but yeah, that was a whole thing. So just happy to learn that. And also, I'm sorry if I'm I feel like that coffee like kind of hit me. And I'm like, sorry. No, no, it's the louder, the better, to be honest. So it's fine, okay, cool. No, I'll be fine to sleep. But right now it's like, I'm talking about, Jerk it off. We're talking about brain rot earlier. Are you? Are you on that? Uh, on that? Larry, brain rot. Larry the cat, oh, okay, because it's like, is that the weird angle? Larry, um, voice,

 

Unknown Speaker  41:01  

cute, because he'll,

 

Speaker 1  41:03  

I think the Laura is, he'll chop your penis off if you're Dorking,

 

Unknown Speaker  41:07  

like, you know, with the pictures of the other cats that,

 

Unknown Speaker  41:10  

you know, yeah. Anyway, it

 

Unknown Speaker  41:12  

just made me think of that. That's awesome.

 

Speaker 1  41:15  

670, my God. My cousin's a teacher, and she was like, this is the one that's stuck around the longest and is the most annoying. The only way we can make it go away is if we get adults to start using it. That's what she said. She does, yeah, okay, she'll say it or, like, she'll give them opportunities to say it. So it's like, not as cool, perfect. Yeah, I'm trying to use it more. I well, I guess it kind of works because it's in a comedy script, but I wrote it into my combat script. Can't wait to see it. Um, but yeah. Anyway, that's a whole interesting language thing. I've read a little bit about it, just it's interesting. What do you mind elaborating? Oh, just like so I know that we hate the Gen Z and Gen Alpha language a lot, but it's just interesting how it is like its own language. Pretty much. There's this, like a guy I watch on YouTube that learns a lot of languages and stuff, and he, quote, learned the Gen Z lingo and made a speech of it, and I saw that, yeah, okay, okay, yeah. And it actually sounded like really good as compared to that. I don't know if you remember that Australian legislature woman or whatever,

 

Unknown Speaker  42:37  

yeah, I think we played that on the pod.

 

Speaker 1  42:41  

That was cringy. But the way he did, it sounded better, yeah, he actually understood their language, yeah. So I was like, wow, crossing barriers, yeah, but yeah, it's just a yeah, just, I guess, made me a little more interested in it. And six, seven, I learned it depends on the context of how you use it. I guess. I don't think it started out with context, but I guess kids were just using it so much in random situations that it just evolved. It's just crazy. So it's like shit and fuck, where it can be good or bad, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I think, like, Ohio can No, I think Ohio is just that's bad. Yeah, I was bad. My niece had my, like, 910, year old niece had, like, explained a lot of it because she was, we were making a gingerbread palace or whatever, and she was like, Do you guys want to learn about the

 

Unknown Speaker  43:40  

sounds like, oh yes, I'd be like, tell me everything

 

Unknown Speaker  43:46  

that's really cool.

 

Speaker 1  43:48  

I like to slip in some words like that, because my nephews will cringe so hard,

 

Unknown Speaker  43:54  

so they'll stop using it.

 

Speaker 1  43:58  

But you know the words like rad and all those slang terms have held withheld the test of time because they were not adopted by adults. It is interesting, though, because you can kind of tell people's age by the slang like that that they use. Yeah, I like to mix it up. I like to grab stuff from different things. So for a while in high school, I used some stuff from clueless, oh yeah. Like, totally bugging. I didn't like say it like that, but just like, you know, bugging and, oh well, speaking of generations, this isn't really that interesting, but it's an observation I've made, and I wonder if you've noticed it too, but I feel like boomers fucking love a shopping bag, like, whenever, like, well, I feel like my. Might depend where you live, okay?

 

Unknown Speaker  45:03  

Because

 

Unknown Speaker  45:07  

in Mississippi, I feel like

 

Speaker 1  45:11  

boomers look down upon reusable shopping bags. They this, I mean plastic or, like a, not a reusable bag, okay, like a, like bag for the environment. So we're on the same page. Yes, they fucking love, they love a fucking plastic bag. Yeah, yes. So this has happened to me multiple times, but it happened today, and it made me think of it. So I got to go to my favorite thrift store in Georgetown. So I had kind of a bunch of stuff, but I had it, like, very strategically stacked, and I carried it up to the register, and the lady's like, bringing me up or whatever, and she goes to put it in a bag. And I was like, Oh, I don't need a bag. Thank you, though. And she kind of got an attitude with me. And was like, Well, how are you gonna get all this out to your car? And I was like, Well, how I got it up here?

 

Unknown Speaker  46:06  

Like, that's what you said, yeah,

 

Speaker 1  46:13  

yeah, I carry I was walking around the store with my arms like, awkwardly full for a while, like, that Halloween costume, Monday in Halloween, yes, yeah. I was like, that. So like, this is how I got it here. And like, my car isn't that far. Just like, Well, okay, what a cunt. I had these little tea lights. And she was like, Well, what about the candles? But I also had some, like, fabric stuff. So I was like, well, and I had a bowl. So it's like, perfect. I'm like, Well, I'm gonna put the fabric down in the bowl and then put the tea lights, and then I have something that goes on top of the bowl. So, like, it's totally fine. It's like, I have a bag in my car. I just, I have, like, way too many bags. So like, Thank you, but I don't need a bag.

 

Unknown Speaker  47:00  

Yeah, damn. I would have been like, watch this.

 

Unknown Speaker  47:05  

What I did, I like, stacked everything. And she was like,

 

Unknown Speaker  47:09  

but, oh, oh, but I

 

Speaker 1  47:13  

feel like that's happened to me several times, because I try to not get shit, like plastic bags or like plastic straws, because I know I'm care about the Earth, okay, yeah, and I don't just love need it if I already have it. Like, I like reusable we like reusable shit. Yes, all of Texas definitely not like that, but we're in the Austin area. We like a reusable straw, reusable bag, a fucking tumbler water bottle, we like all that shit. But one time, I told the lady I didn't need a bag, and she was like, Well, I think you do and just put my stuff in a bag.

 

Unknown Speaker  47:50  

Was it one of the stories you have to pay for a bag?

 

Speaker 1  47:54  

Or no, this was like, years ago. I think if that happened now, then I would be like, Oh no, I really don't need one. Oh, okay, no, I would have said something, but yeah, this was a while back, so now you're gonna take a bag. Shut up and take the bag. Yeah, shut the fuck up. You need a bag. But yeah, I didn't know if you had observed that as well. Yes. I mean, I haven't. So I do like self checkout, mostly since we've moved Austin, and like the grocery delivery or pickup or whatever. So I don't witness it, I guess, a lot. But man, when I lived in Mississippi,

 

Unknown Speaker  48:35  

it was like, it was like you were,

 

Speaker 1  48:38  

you were gay, if you had reusable bags or something, I don't know. Loudest, I'm saying that with millennial ironic humor making fun of stuff, not like, yeah. And in the south, it's yeah, it I don't know. People were weird and about like, recycling too. A lot of the times like, um, when I worked at a hardware store that rhymes with toes.

 

Unknown Speaker  49:06  

I got them to

 

Speaker 1  49:07  

put a recycling bin in the break room. Oh, I bet they were so, yeah, it was right next to the fucking trash can. And I remember one guy was like, oh, like, Why is this here? I don't know. He's just talking shit about the recycling and just put his can in the trash instead. So I just walked over and took it out of the trash and put it in the recycling. Like,

 

Unknown Speaker  49:27  

I don't know. Like,

 

Speaker 1  49:29  

fine, I guess I'll dig through the trash at the end of my break and pull out the recyclables, I guess. And that's what I do after a party every time. Oh, like, I'm good idea, so I don't care. And then another time, at another job I had, I got a little it was, I mean, it was just like, three people. It's very there was, like, no HR, very informal. So we had, like, a little trash can. And then I got my boss to get a little can. First. Recycling to put next to it. And this one guy started working with us, and he was like, so, like, anti recycling too. And he just kept putting them in the tram. Like, dude, the recycling is right next to the trash can. Just put them in the recycling. And he just would keep not doing it, keep, like, annoying me with it. Until one day, another man came to the office that they all thought was really cool. He was like, recycling. It's cool, guys. Yeah, he finished drinking a soda, and he was like, Oh, you guys have recycling. I was like, Oh yeah, right behind you. And then ever since then, they fucking recycled every time, wow. Like a little man crush. Apparently, I know it's like, well, at least I know ways to, like, I could hire a cool man to come in for a day and just, you know, give a talk, yeah? Or just be like, oh, yeah, this is so and so he's just here for the day to learn, and he just, like, leaves, like, subtle influences around and just says little things to certain people to sway their opinion. It's like, hey, as a man, I always wash my hands after I go to the bathroom. It's really cool, guys. So no one has to touch my penis hands. My penis is clean. Yeah? People are so fucking weird about that. Or they're like, it doesn't matter, or, well, most of it gets thrown away anyway. Like, Well, okay, but like, some of it doesn't, yeah, no, so yeah, try to do your best with recycling fat heads. Yeah, we like it. I mean, I'll be honest, I'm not perfect with it all the time either, but I do my best, yeah, yeah, me and Jamie are like, well, Jamie got me into the hardcore recycling, like we paid have, like, our fucking chip bags recycled. And yeah, I feel like you got me into it when, I mean, we're both kind of into it. And then you started doing the brick thing. I was like, oh, yeah, I want to start doing that. And then I did start doing it. And I was like, Well, what the fuck am I gonna do with this? And then I came across red well, and I was like, it's perfect. I actually took apart my Eco bricks and, like, put them in red. Well, I was originally gonna, you know, you can make, like, like, a little binge, or shit, some shit. And I was like, I don't want to hold on to these for like, 20 years in order to do that, but at least you held on to them until you had a way to recycle them. So that's a that's cool, too.

 

Unknown Speaker  52:27  

One other complaint

 

Unknown Speaker  52:28  

that I have about boomers as far as recycling is

 

Speaker 1  52:33  

I saw this post going around on Facebook a while back, and it was like the younger generation says that we don't recycle, but like, when we grew up, we had milk delivery and the jars got recycled, like, we did this and this and this. And I was talking to somebody who shared that, I was like, Well, do you still do all those things? They're like, Well, no, I'm like, so like, you're bragging about something you used to do that was good, but now you've decided not to do it, even though you know it's good,

 

Unknown Speaker  53:08  

it sounds like something their parents did for them, yeah?

 

Speaker 1  53:14  

Or, like society made it more convenient back then, so they did it, but now that it's slightly

 

Unknown Speaker  53:20  

inconvenient, like, yeah?

 

Speaker 1  53:23  

Because I think with like, the milkman, like, when, how it got dropped off at your house, I think that they just put the bottles outside, yeah, and they just pick it up when they drop a new stuff off. So it's like, yeah, if it was that convenient, I mean, it is, I guess you can just toss it in your recycling bin and then take it to the curb. It is said also because, you know, if you had a shitty husband, you fuck the milkman. That's not really, oh yeah, that was the thing. Now it's just the mailman

 

Unknown Speaker  53:58  

comes the door, though.

 

Unknown Speaker  54:00  

True, yeah, yeah.

 

Unknown Speaker  54:05  

I feel like I made it weird, just trying

 

Speaker 1  54:08  

to think, Well, I mean, you know the UPS, guy, true, Amazon Prime people,

 

Unknown Speaker  54:16  

true, Chewy, whoever delivers chewy.

 

Unknown Speaker  54:21  

Sometimes I will see a guy in little UPS uniform. I'm like, okay,

 

Unknown Speaker  54:26  

Alyssa, they're doing their job.

 

Unknown Speaker  54:30  

They just want to work doing exactly

 

Speaker 1  54:34  

what I had to not do on the podcast. Like, if a woman's working, just leave her alone. But you are leaving them alone. Yeah, you're not just like thinking it Hey, gorgeous. I had to do a double take, or whatever. That package, brown shirt, a brown shirt. You looking good, girl or guy, I.

 

Unknown Speaker  55:00  

Well, thank you for listening to my weird ramblings.
