AvenuePodcast. net Hi

0:42

everybody. And welcome back to over

0:44

40 and child-free. Time

0:47

for episode 23. Full

0:49

that rhymed. You may have a poet. And I

0:51

didn't even know it. No, never say that again.

0:54

All right. I'm going to do a favor

0:56

for all of our listeners out there. So

1:01

Nicole has not been able to use

1:03

her soundboard yet because I can't

1:05

figure out how to hook it up. I'm going to

1:07

have to go to the YouTube. However.

1:11

She got a new toy that she wanted

1:13

to introduce onto the podcast.

1:16

And I figured it would be best

1:18

to just let her do it and get

1:20

it. I think so, too.

1:23

Nicole. Why don't you introduce your new

1:25

friends? This is my new friend. Pickle.

1:29

Well, everyone, I'm adding this in,

1:31

after we recorded. And I'm sorry

1:34

to say the microphone did not

1:36

pick up the yodeling pickle.

1:38

We will try again another time. That

1:42

just means we're happy and having a good time. I

1:45

am so interested to see how

1:47

that. Being reported.

1:50

Okay. So what most people don't know

1:53

is. The recording

1:55

transcribes while we're talking. And

1:58

I will tell you that nothing just happens.

2:01

And our side of the computer. Maybe

2:03

it'll show up. Maybe it will. So I have a feeling

2:06

you guys might've just heard. Oh,

2:11

Great in. Thank

2:13

you. Thank you. Everybody should have a utility

2:15

pickle. I'm

2:18

shocked. Did you order? Three times

2:20

because you like to reorder things over

2:22

and over again. So far has only showed up at my house

2:24

once. However. I

2:26

have another order on the way. Yeah,

2:29

I know, right. A second. I have a team. Coming

2:32

in. You don't know. Wow.

2:35

And I have to say I have $15

2:38

in credit. So I'm going

2:40

to have to do workshop. It's just a way.

2:42

It goes in circles and circles. And I

2:44

plan on spending the day on the couch and we'll

2:47

have. Better way then on team. How

2:49

much stuff you can buy for $15 on Timo.

2:51

I know. It could be a crazy day. And

2:54

let me tell you some, I saw somebody you posted on

2:57

Facebook about T-Mobile and then somebody posted a stupid

2:59

article about. From China. And

3:01

then I know it wasn't on your, was it, did somebody

3:03

respond and say, if

3:05

you just look around your house, everything that everything you

3:07

have is made from made in China? Oh my God.

3:10

I saw that article a couple of times.

3:12

And I don't know if it was on. If it was a response

3:14

on yours, when I saw it somewhere, somebody on the spot. And

3:17

I was like, that's a good point. So I looked

3:19

at the article and it actually wasn't about

3:21

the fact that the stuff comes from China.

3:23

It. It was the app. Oh, the app

3:25

is stealing all your information. Definitely

3:28

less than. She has been stolen. If

3:31

after stealing information, then,

3:33

I mean, I have teen I've tech

3:35

talk. At this point by team. I

3:38

mean, the bottom line is, is I got an email

3:40

that my email address

3:43

is on the dark web, and that was from

3:45

a beauty website. So

3:47

guess what, no matter what you do, if you're online,

3:49

you take the risk. I mean. What

3:52

if they want to steal my information from my phone, I'll keep

3:54

anything on there. I don't think that's. I mean, if I had

3:56

to steal my credit card information and

3:58

try to spend. They're not getting

4:00

very far. Pretty hard. I

4:03

knock on wood. I think it'd be hard to steal my identity

4:05

and I don't know why they would want to, because

4:07

I got nothing. Nobody wants this. Now.

4:10

I mean, I'm just saying I did. I did

4:12

over the last year, raise my credit score pretty high.

4:15

But I don't because I don't

4:18

work. Oh, I don't think

4:20

anybody can do it. I don't think it's going to get anybody.

4:22

So I have credit karma and

4:24

my. Has been going

4:26

up and it'll send me emails. And

4:29

over the last couple of months, I've had to make some big

4:31

purchases on my credit card. Like

4:33

I had to get, take my car and oh,

4:35

which we're going to come back to. Like, wait,

4:38

he had to go to the vet and like, just.

4:40

You know, my insurance was, so

4:42

it was just like a bunch of big purchases

4:44

over the last couple months. And

4:46

I always come around the same time.

4:49

So credit karma emailed me the other day

4:51

and they're like, we've been watching your spending

4:54

and your credit card spending is up 6%.

4:56

Ah, thanks credit karma. Thanks

4:59

for kicking that right in the gut. It

5:01

wasn't double digit. It's true.

5:03

Only 6%. Yes, let's

5:05

come back to my car. Let's come back to your car. I

5:07

took my car in foreign is my inspection.

5:10

And I had like, cause I try to stay

5:13

up on the maintenance. So I get

5:15

my tires rotated and whatever,

5:17

they recommend it like the 30,000 mark.

5:19

The 50,000 mark. So I do some of

5:21

that and, you know, got some things done.

5:24

Do you know, Those motherfuckers.

5:27

I took it in for inspection. They

5:30

never did the emissions test.

5:32

So it's funny, like the day after

5:34

I got. My car

5:36

back. I got an email saying you're due

5:39

for your admissions. And

5:41

I thought to myself, oh, they just must not have updated

5:43

the system yet because it was literally the next

5:46

day. Oh, no, I was

5:48

driving. To my concerts this

5:50

week and happened to look over. And

5:52

no, they didn't do it. So that is out

5:54

of compliance or expired or whatever

5:56

it's called. Oh my gosh. So now I'm going to have to

5:59

take my car in. Again,

6:01

for them to do the test that should automatically

6:04

just be done. Or they forget to do that. How

6:06

does that not happen? I don't know because

6:08

I clicked the button and it said inspection,

6:10

but there wasn't a separate one for emission. So

6:12

in my mind, And if you're working

6:15

on it and you see the stickers and you see

6:17

that the data has stickers. You know,

6:19

they had no problem calling me to tell me

6:21

I needed air filters changed in this

6:23

change, but they couldn't say, Hey. We

6:26

realized that you didn't collect. It's like the emissions

6:28

button. I don't think you have to click a separate

6:30

button. I think they messed that up. Yeah. I

6:33

believe them. I'm a little pissed about that. We

6:35

took ours in for inspection and

6:38

it came back and now it shows like parking

6:40

lamps, lights are out or something,

6:42

but there's no problems. So it's. Just the light on. So

6:44

they gave it back to us with this light on Now

6:46

I either have to take it back to them to turn

6:49

it off. Right. And I was

6:51

like, that's really annoying. They couldn't catch this

6:53

before they gave it back to me. I

6:56

pay them a lot of money. Exactly. I

6:58

went into the army. Until the wrong thing. I think

7:00

I should have been. Selling

7:02

cars. No owning cars. And selling them.

7:05

I would like to see you work on cars. Do

7:07

you like to see that? No shit. I

7:09

hope to mechanics. A lot of money, but I don't think they do

7:12

what. BMW charges.

7:14

They all should. Yeah. A lot

7:16

of funny dude. I don't like it. BMW.

7:19

That's who owns. Mini.

7:21

Yeah. I don't know if they've always owned it, but they

7:23

do now. Fancy

7:25

like that. I look at you. You're so.

7:28

So cool. So,

7:31

yes, as I mentioned, I was in my

7:33

car driving. The fish. Never

7:35

dress fish is amazing. It's really a shame.

7:37

They come every year and I'm always busy on the two

7:40

days. They're here. Always. I

7:42

just so ironic now it's kind

7:44

of crazy how that happens. But we had

7:46

a great time. They were really good shows.

7:49

And it was funny because

7:51

so two of my friends

7:54

that I go with every year

7:56

decided they were going to bring their daughter this year.

7:58

And when I tell you, like the guy

8:00

has wanted to bring her since she was an infant,

8:03

like that has always been his dream to

8:05

go to a fish show with his daughter. And

8:07

she was there and you know, like

8:10

she listened, she knows. The song's

8:12

actually her favorite fish song.

8:15

They played Tuesday night and she came

8:17

Wednesday night. So it literally started,

8:19

we were all like, Really. I feel sad

8:21

for Lily, but for other reasons than missing her

8:24

favorite song. But what was funny

8:26

is. She was

8:28

definitely like, okay, this is cool.

8:30

You know? He took her down

8:33

in the front and actually got down right behind

8:35

the pit. So they got to watch the light show

8:37

and, you know, see a couple people.

8:39

And it was, you know, a couple of good songs.

8:42

So the crowd was really into it. So

8:44

he was like making sure to take her to see

8:46

different experiences of the show.

8:49

And he came back at one point and

8:51

was laughing. Cause we were sitting there and he's

8:53

like, yeah, He's like, you

8:55

think she's. Surprised

8:59

with the crowd. He's like I'm

9:01

starting to think. That she

9:03

thought only him

9:06

and his wife and me and my friend. We're

9:08

the only ones that listened to Phish. So

9:10

we were like, I mean, that would be cool if they came to

9:12

Philly every year and just played a show for

9:15

us and we could just hop around and all

9:17

the seats. But we were, we were cracking

9:19

up because she was like, wow, there's a lot of people

9:21

here. She actually was probably thinking, wow, there's

9:23

a lot of people that actually liked this music. That's

9:26

what her mind was blown by more than anything.

9:29

But she likes it too. So. Or she

9:31

just says that she likes it. Yeah,

9:34

she's not that type. We'll

9:36

say, we'll see if she keeps the tradition going.

9:39

When she's older, so we'll see if she wants to go

9:41

again next year. But I think she had a good

9:43

time. I think you should explain to anybody unless

9:45

we have tons of. Fish listeners

9:48

here. Maybe you guys will come on and tell us

9:50

if you really love fish. Or not,

9:52

or you're like, who the hell is fish? Explain

9:54

to them,, cause you said Tuesday night, they played.

9:57

Saw, but they did it on Wednesday night. Like how

10:00

did I, I don't know. Like, if I go to a new kids

10:02

on the block concert, two nights in a row, it's going to be the same

10:04

concert. They're going to sing the same songs and I'm not going to miss

10:06

anything. So I don't know if like, Oh, no, like

10:08

for fish and it's two nights, like, why would

10:10

you go? Like, I guess, you know, I don't know. Yeah. I've

10:12

gone to three night runs. And

10:15

never heard the same song twice. They do

10:17

have a lot of bigger songs.

10:19

The crowd liked to hear, and then they intersperse

10:22

newer songs. But yeah, they

10:25

rarely play. Well, they

10:27

never play in a two or three night run.

10:29

The same songs. Even they'll go to Madison

10:31

square garden for five nights. They

10:34

probably won't play the same song. And

10:36

if they did play the same songs, would you still go multiple

10:38

nights? My ears

10:41

are bleeding. The one sad

10:43

thing this year. So I was going to bring

10:45

glow sticks for Lily, you know? Part

10:47

of the experience. Because there

10:49

are certain sections of the songs

10:51

that like it builds up, builds up, and then everybody

10:54

goes in crazy and like, I mean, glow sticks

10:56

everywhere and they're flying. So, you

10:58

know, when it's coming. Well, the

11:00

man. Crack down

11:03

and would not let glowsticks in this

11:05

year. Last Tuesday night coming out.

11:07

I was like, Hey, cause. My friend

11:09

that I was with was like, oh, I think you might have to go

11:11

in a separate entrance. Cause they're, you know, security,

11:13

whatever. So when we were walking

11:16

out on Tuesday night, I said to the guy,

11:18

you know, Hey, if I want to bring glow

11:20

six in, can I just come through regular?

11:22

And he was like, you can't bring those in

11:24

here. he was very, I was like, Well,

11:26

you know, simmered out. Hurt them with the glow

11:28

stick there. They're just glowsticks. But

11:32

I was all excited because I know

11:34

I've told you about my glow stick ball.

11:37

I'm very proud of Nicholas. I do

11:39

ball in ball. It's very

11:41

fancy. I will put a picture up

11:43

because it is very fancy and

11:45

you just spin it and then it's like going

11:48

and going and Lily's all into it. And

11:50

I wanted to do the ball for her. I

11:52

mean, it was a nice thought. I

11:54

still have a big box of glowsticks.

11:56

That's been sitting there probably for like 10

11:59

years and probably don't even go anymore. If I break

12:01

them. But we were laughing

12:03

because we were like, okay, how could we

12:05

sneak the glow sticks? So

12:09

of course me and my friend Aaron were taking

12:12

it too far. I'm sure. Inserting

12:15

the glow sticks somewhere, you know?

12:17

It's just, why am I saying I would like to play

12:19

with them after. But we were laughing.

12:22

We're like, oh God, what if we turn the

12:24

wrong way? And they tracked it

12:26

all of a sudden, it's just rainbows shooting

12:28

out of your garage. Oh,

12:31

or the guy might just let you in. She's

12:34

like it's. It's cool. Just go

12:36

for it. I will say we also

12:38

at fish shows me and my friend Aaron loved

12:40

to play the game. What's their day

12:42

job. Because there are some very

12:45

interesting. Oh, I can imagine. I'm

12:47

sure. I'm sure that all of you out there can

12:49

also imagine. Yeah. So we, this

12:52

year we did something different and we played it

12:54

with each other. So she was like, okay,

12:56

you didn't know me. At

12:58

all, what would you think my day job

13:00

was? And that we did it for each other. And what were you.

13:03

Response was you work in a business

13:05

office doing something businessy. Okay.

13:09

Very specific. That was. Very specific. I mean,

13:11

you do work in some sort of office,

13:13

but now. At home. Yeah. It was like, if that

13:15

office is my second bedroom. And kind

13:17

of do business. Yeah. I mean, I was

13:20

a little more. Specific

13:22

I told her, I thought she looked like a misuse. Okay.

13:27

I guess. She's not a Massoud,

13:29

but she does Reiki. So I don't know if I

13:31

did let my prior. Might

13:33

have. Yeah. So, anyway, I don't

13:35

think I would've guessed business person for you,

13:37

but no. I don't know.

13:40

Maybe I just have that look, I would say.

13:42

You look like a teacher. I'm sobriety. Well,

13:45

You don't do it based on voice. Because

13:48

if, so you would say your definitely in customer.

13:50

I 100%. If I heard your customer service

13:52

was. She runs the customer service department.

13:56

That is for sure. So,

13:58

alright. But I have to say, I am a huge

14:00

fan of the man. The sound

14:02

is great there. And both

14:04

nights we ended up parking

14:06

in perfect location to

14:09

get in and out like we left

14:11

the show and within

14:13

minutes we're back out on. 76

14:16

so much better than being down

14:18

in Philadelphia at the. Things

14:21

where you're just sitting in traffic. I

14:23

do like the man. That's a good, it's a good outdoor venue.

14:25

Yeah. We kind of made our own parking

14:28

space. It's Wednesday night. We

14:30

were literally just in grass that lined

14:32

the road, but we weren't the first ones that did it.

14:34

So I was like, I'm going in. I

14:37

mean, just follow the other people. And it was, it was

14:39

more, are they going to do. Yeah. Whether held

14:41

out. Hoard.

14:44

Before the Tuesday show, but did

14:46

not rain one time while we were down. Well,

14:48

that's good. So it sounds like you had a good time. We

14:50

had a great time. All right. I can't

14:52

wait for next year. Can't wait either. I hope

14:54

this year that are coming our home next year, they come

14:56

when I'm available. She has a very serious

14:58

look on her face while she says super serious.

15:00

I'm going to have to, I'm going to tweet at them if they

15:03

don't come. When I'm available. I'm

15:05

not going to lie. I was this close.

15:08

To going to New York this

15:10

week. Because my friend has tickets.

15:13

He wasn't going to sell them because he

15:15

wanted to go. But literally was in

15:17

North Carolina even the week before

15:19

then. Feel me this week. And he was thinking

15:22

of going to New York. If I didn't have Winnie.

15:24

Yeah. We would have been there. That was extreme.

15:27

Free tickets for you hotel. I

15:29

mean, he can't really pass it up. So.

15:32

It's the music and I would probably go

15:34

and hear different songs. Okay. That

15:36

is some dedication. I don't even know if there's anybody. I would

15:38

see that many times in a row. And I do love me some

15:40

new kids on the block. But you're

15:43

hearing the same songs every day. That's

15:45

that's true, but you're just hearing noise. That's

15:47

for like six nights in a row. Hurts

15:49

my ears. Pleading bouncing around the

15:52

room. I only know the last time,

15:54

I don't even know what the last concert I went to. Probably

15:57

new. I probably was. Mike

16:00

doesn't like go into concerts. So we don't really go. We've

16:03

only been to one concert together. It

16:05

was another band that you don't like, but I made you go. Which

16:08

Pam was out. When did we go see today? Rescue trucks. I

16:10

had no idea about them. But you

16:12

found like two songs that you liked. You

16:14

went for it. Is that the man, the man's

16:16

a good place to go. Even if you don't like.

16:19

Yeah. Listen, I have volunteered to

16:21

go to see fish with you in case

16:23

you needed a friend, I would have. You

16:26

know, We've done my own thing. Would

16:28

have sat in the car. I

16:30

would've put my earbuds in listening to bouncing around

16:32

the room on repeat, and then it

16:34

would have looked like I belonged for. There you go. No,

16:38

I don't even know. Let's. I say, if there was another band I

16:40

would like to go see, I would like to go to one of the country music

16:43

Fest. I know you would like to do that. I would

16:45

love that. Favorite how they go all

16:47

the time. I know. I want to be times I will have to.

16:49

They're not, she is on point with getting tickets.

16:52

Oh, she really needs you have a dime. I might be spending

16:55

a thousand dollars. I've seen her buy tickets. That

16:57

is a good point. He just goes forward. Sorry.

17:00

But yeah, I don't know. I have to ask

17:02

her. I don't know if she was going to either. She was. I

17:04

don't think she was going to the one that's upcoming. There's

17:07

two. Yeah.

17:10

I don't know if they're going love to. That I

17:13

would like to go. I think that would be just steal someone's ticket

17:15

that you bought for somebody else. That she bought

17:17

for somebody on. Okay. She buy them for no,

17:20

probably her husband and Dylan. Oh, they

17:22

don't need to go. That's fine, Michelle, take

17:24

me instead. I'm cooler. Way

17:26

more fun. I'm just saying.

17:29

I would do that. So they were giving away tickets all

17:31

the way over here. We were listening. And

17:33

Atlantic city, which I wouldn't mind going. But

17:35

none of the names were really all that exciting. Gotta

17:38

be into it. A little bit. Anyway.

17:41

So that was the middle of my week and started

17:44

off my very tired.

17:47

It's a long week for you. It was a long week. Cause then

17:49

I on Thursday, I didn't skip out

17:51

when to name that tune. We

17:53

did not win. It did not win. Some

17:56

t-shirts though. We did win some t-shirts.

17:58

Yes. Yeah, I don't know. Have. We mentioned before every

18:00

Thursday night or almost every Thursday night, we go play

18:02

name that tune. With her friends.

18:04

So much more, usually, really, really good.

18:06

Yeah. Typically two years were there this week, actually

18:09

we come in first or second place unless the cheaters

18:11

show up. And then, then it's third place all

18:13

the way. There's this team and

18:16

they just happen to know there's only two

18:18

of them. Girls.

18:21

Who happened to know. Every

18:23

single song ever made, ever

18:26

made. Like ever in every different

18:28

genre that. It's just very, it's highly

18:30

suspicious. We have, we usually have between

18:32

three and six people and we

18:35

need that many people to help with the different

18:37

genres so that we can get things right. Right.

18:40

And that struggle sometimes.

18:42

And there were some weird ones. This.

18:45

It went from like Neil young

18:47

to Wu Tang iron meeting.

18:51

Don't tell them, and they have like the highest score

18:53

ever. I do not buy at

18:55

all. So if you're listening, Tony they're cheaters,

18:58

Tony, we need to shame them. Yes. He

19:00

doesn't believe it. Yeah. I

19:02

think he just doesn't believe it because he hasn't called them. Yeah,

19:04

that means they're evading you, Tony, you should be trying to

19:07

catch them. If you're

19:09

listening, Tony. Which we know

19:11

you are. We catch the Dan

19:13

cheaters. That was the only

19:15

thing that I pretty much did all week was. Well

19:17

Friday, we went to the pool. Oh, we did. I was talking.

19:19

Fucking hot. And there was nine kids that are really

19:22

high. Yes. So to carry over from last week's

19:24

conversation. This week.

19:27

Actually the younger kids were fine this week.

19:29

It was. The two young girls and

19:31

then the older sister. Who just

19:34

antagonized her younger sister

19:36

the entire time. And it was very annoying, but then

19:38

there was two boys teenagers. And

19:41

they were just so. Wow.

19:44

And. Stupid loud. Like

19:46

they started playing this game about

19:49

guests, the color I'm thinking of.

19:52

So literally. 1314

19:54

year old boys playing guests. The color. I'm thinking

19:57

of. And it was like, so then they started

19:59

out and the one kid was like, it has

20:01

to be a color in the rainbow. And

20:03

then the other kid's like, okay,

20:05

I'm thinking of one. So the kid, well

20:08

thought he went through all the colors of the rainbow and we'll get

20:10

back to that. And then he's like, I don't

20:12

know. I said all the colors and the guy was like,

20:15

yellowish. Purple was what

20:17

I was thinking of. And I'm like, dude. I

20:20

got to listen to him. Scream out pink, white, red,

20:22

yellow. Great. And yellow

20:24

is yellow. Go fuck yourself.

20:27

Oh, my God, they. They were so annoying.

20:29

They did it. Constantly, but literally

20:31

they're like I named every color.

20:34

In the rainbow and they were literally yelling

20:36

like pink. White.

20:38

Goals. I'm like, did anyone.

20:42

Yes, Tracy was very fired up about really, really

20:45

was because the last time

20:47

they played, the kid was actually thinking

20:50

indigo. And the guy,

20:52

the other kid was like I said, all of them and

20:54

I'm like, Tracy wants to get up and tell them how it

20:56

was going to be. I just wanted to scream it. I

20:58

think you should have. I think that would have been entertaining.

21:01

You're not even saying colors that are the actual

21:03

rain. They were all over the place.

21:07

I wish they had their pants. Somebody needed to be there to supervise

21:09

them. Especially when the entire time

21:12

the one kid was yelling, rape. Oh, I missed

21:14

that. The entitlement. You didn't hear him every time

21:16

you were like the one kid with like jumbling. And like push them on her and

21:18

he'd come up and he'd just be yelling, rape. And I

21:20

was like, oh, that's nice. Maybe somebody wants

21:22

to tell you, That's really inappropriate.

21:25

But the lifeguard didn't care. And

21:28

he's like, if you're not drowning, Okay. Yeah.

21:32

And then kind of making fun

21:34

of the family that was

21:36

there. I don't know if you heard that. The

21:38

little girl said. Yeah, like a

21:40

fish or something. Yeah.

21:42

And then he yelled out, when he went to jump

21:44

in the pool, something very sarcastic.

21:47

What she said. It was the family found

21:49

a dead bird on the front of there on

21:51

their porch. And they had to call the leasing office. Occurred.

21:54

And he then came in, dove in the pool

21:56

in some weird way and just yelled out dead bird,

21:58

a. Dead bird. Yeah, that's what it was. And

22:01

then another time. They

22:04

were on the side of the pool. And

22:06

I heard the one kid screaming she's

22:08

filming us, she's filming us. And

22:10

I was thinking they were talking about us cause we were living

22:12

in our chairs, but I'm like, Look, is he talking about.

22:15

And then I happened to notice

22:17

that the mother was trying

22:20

to get a picture of the two daughters

22:22

in the pool and they work with operating.

22:24

So she was sitting there with her phone. But

22:26

I'm like, seriously. Do, do you really think that they're

22:28

like that she cares that much about you?

22:31

That she's going to be recording you standing

22:33

on the side of the pool, jumping in like a moron.

22:35

That was pretty much I'm sure that was top

22:38

on her list. Yes. In

22:41

my life guarding days, I would have had to have words

22:43

with those kids. And it might've even. Kick

22:45

them out. Now here's the question

22:47

because most of the lifeguards that are at

22:49

my pool are teenagers themselves.

22:51

So you've lifeguard, when you were. Would

22:55

you have felt weird going up to

22:57

another 15, 16, 17 year old?

22:59

Nope. Nope. I was like, dude,

23:01

I got the whistle. On

23:03

the lifeguard and there's a. Yeah.

23:07

You guys know you guys either calm

23:09

down or you can get the FL. Yeah. They

23:11

much. I was fine with. Disciplining.

23:14

Okay. Because they never do. And I wasn't

23:16

sure if it was just awful. It's on their

23:18

party. And maybe they just don't. I just

23:20

didn't care. I'm not putting up with the bullshit.

23:22

I mean one time, the annoying kids

23:25

were actually friends of the lifeguards and we knew

23:27

that wasn't. Yeah,

23:30

it was just annoying and it made

23:32

me not want to go to the pool today because it's

23:34

a beautiful, gorgeous day. And

23:36

I just feel like it's going to be packed. And yesterday,

23:39

when I walked by was Winnie, it was just

23:41

humped with kids. I just wish there was.

23:44

I'm like, I wish I don't even live here. That

23:46

your complex had an adult only pool.

23:48

It would be like, I'll be fine. Yeah. I don't

23:50

see the problem. There's plenty of pools.

23:52

They can go to. So you guys might

23:54

have one more month. That was bitching about the pool because

23:57

it's getting worse. And it is, I just

23:59

want to go. I know that's

24:01

the whole thing time. They can play.

24:03

I don't even care. They were just soup. I mean,

24:06

They were obnoxious. Like

24:08

to that point. I think they probably drove other people

24:11

away eventually. Even though they kept saying they were going to leave.

24:14

Anyway, that was a lot of bitching about the kids at the pool, but

24:17

they ruined my Friday. Yeah.

24:19

And basically our Sunday. Yeah. I don't really like

24:21

that. You're listening. You

24:23

little kids don't come back. Come back. No.

24:27

And also I get as like, I was having

24:29

a crappy mental week again as well. So that

24:31

didn't help that. This was already annoyed in general.

24:34

So, yeah. Screw

24:37

those kids. But we did have a very

24:39

positive thing happened this weekend. Oh,

24:41

we sure did. In case everybody's

24:44

a. At the edge of their seats. We

24:46

finished too hot to handle. Oh,

24:48

my God. Not enough hunter though. Nah,

24:51

hunter did not end up in a couple, so

24:53

he was not on camera. Like

24:56

at all. I need to know if anybody out there is

24:58

watching. Has watched too hot to handle you guys

25:00

gotta need to come to the group and tell us if you watch

25:02

it. Thoughts on the season. And

25:04

your thoughts on hunter? Yes. All

25:06

of those things, because I

25:09

don't want to spoil it in case anybody does.

25:11

Watch it. But I also want

25:14

to know if everybody's just like us, like the second

25:16

that the show is over. We go on

25:18

to search the couples and see if they're actually

25:21

still together. So we're not going to tell you what happens,

25:23

how. Okay. I'm not going to say anything. I

25:25

know. Good to say something,

25:27

but it could lead to giving it away.

25:30

It is, I am bummed that it's over. It's one of my favorite.

25:32

I know. And now I don't know when the next

25:34

episode I know. But now we can go back to, we have love

25:37

island. Yes. That's actually in Vegas,

25:39

love islands. Filming right

25:41

now. Oh, well, not filming. Binds

25:43

on peacock. So by the time we

25:45

finished our current love island. Hopefully

25:48

just P can we go back on peacock? I

25:51

don't know. I think you can't. I have peacocks so we can find

25:53

out if not, that's going to be real sad. If we have

25:55

to wait for it to come back. On Netflix. I know.

25:58

Yeah. That's all right. Well, at least we have

26:00

something to look forward to. Tracy

26:03

has watched every reality. Show that she is.

26:05

So she's told you that she watches all of them, but if we've

26:07

missed any of that, We haven't mentioned.

26:09

Yes. Let us know if there is one that we should be

26:11

watching. I finished the ultimatum. There

26:14

was only one season of that. Oh,

26:16

I think there's variations of it. There

26:18

was only one. That

26:21

I saw. Oh we watched it because

26:23

I started watching one and it was an L

26:25

I think it was. LGBTQ. Okay.

26:28

I haven't watched that one, that one didn't pop up. So.

26:30

I can find that one. But I feel

26:32

like the only thing I haven't watched

26:34

at this point is the one called, like, Dated

26:37

and related or. Whatever

26:39

that is. And I don't really know. What

26:42

they're. They're not really. They're just bringing

26:44

like their family with them while they beat the

26:47

person I think, or something like that. Or is it like one

26:51

of their related people to

26:53

date? Maybe? I don't know. I

26:55

thought originally, I was like, is this weird? As

26:57

a dating show or they're dating family members.

26:59

Now we're getting a little out of control. It sounds a little weird.

27:02

So. So, I don't know. I think

27:04

they're filming another love is blind,

27:06

so that might come out. Cashier.

27:09

But, yeah, but I'm not going to lie. I should probably

27:11

take a little break. Maybe there's so many other

27:13

good shows out there. Yeah. To get

27:15

back to regular shows. One

27:18

of them that I started watching, watching the first episode.

27:21

Was on to become a cult leader. Oh,

27:23

that's right. And the first episode, all

27:26

about Manson. Nice. So

27:29

we shared that with. With the people.

27:31

I don't know if we have or not. Like our

27:33

team names. Well that we want to,

27:35

or that we want to start at uncommon. All

27:37

of the, oh, I don't think we have no. So

27:40

we really love Charles Manson. We

27:42

think he was a great motivational speaker. The motivational

27:45

speaker he had definitely. I mean,

27:47

he got how many people to kill for him. I

27:50

feel like he was, he did, they, they were talking about all

27:52

the traits that he had that made him a good.

27:55

Peter. And if I could have them, I would check it. I said sales.

27:57

I'm just saying. I'm just saying, I always

27:59

wanted them on our direct sales team. I think

28:01

he was doing excellent recruiter. He

28:04

knew what to look for and knew what to say. And

28:06

a lot of stuff. And apparently what

28:08

I learned. Is that. In

28:10

frizzen. A lot of prisoners

28:13

or whatever. Read Dale.

28:15

Carnegie's how to make friends and influence

28:17

people. Stop it. Yes. Apparently, if

28:20

we can't, if it's not in the library, there's like a waiting

28:22

list for it in the library. And

28:24

so there was a lot like in between the co-leaders

28:26

and all that was a lot of talk about sales and

28:28

marketing. So we weren't too

28:30

far off on that you should be on our team.

28:32

Because. We're on to something.

28:35

So they were giving us, like, it was like, if you want to be a co-leader

28:37

do this. So it was basically telling you how to do

28:40

it. I don't have, I didn't, I don't really,

28:42

I didn't have a lot of skills that you need to. Well,

28:45

maybe we get to. And find somebody that

28:47

might help fit in to build our not

28:49

cult. No Tommy, and

28:51

we want to have, we want to have. Houses

28:54

all together. Just a little spaces. Community

28:57

of tiny houses. I think you guys would want

28:59

to come join us. I know it it'll be a good time.

29:01

There'll be no children. No. There'll be probably

29:03

lots of animals. And we talked about having a

29:05

lazy river that just went house

29:07

to house. Yes. That is 100% of what

29:09

has to happen. All right. I'm going

29:11

to need to win the lottery for

29:14

maybe I need to read Dale. Carnegie's how to make

29:17

me. I bet you could find it since

29:19

you're not. Oh, okay. There you go.

29:22

No, no, I have the book. I just don't. I've never read

29:24

it. I just have I'm kind of like I have all these books

29:27

that I, I mean, I have time, so I was thinking I'm going to read

29:29

so much and then I don't, but I have it. So,

29:31

all right. Well, I'm glad I don't have to, you know, make

29:34

you go to prison so that you can borrow the book. And

29:36

nobody, if you have an extra copy of parents, I don't really

29:38

want it there. So. That's

29:40

to take it forward, set them up. Maybe

29:44

it'll help their skills. When they get outside of prison, they

29:46

don't have to go back to being whatever they were doing

29:48

before. Maybe they could, I can help them. Is it

29:50

all prisoners or just serial

29:52

killers slash co-leaders that are, you know, They

29:54

did not specify who they

29:56

just said. You know, maybe they're just trying to

29:58

win friends and influence people because they're in prison. So they're

30:00

just trying to, how do we make friends? In gang

30:03

prison, I guess. I don't know there wasn't a

30:05

whole lot. It was just, that was in there and friends.

30:07

Quote, unquote. So

30:10

yeah, so we have a fascination with Colts. If

30:12

there's a lot of great. Colt documentaries

30:14

out there. So this was episode one, which I don't even

30:16

think we made it all the way through, so I have to finish watching

30:18

it. Yeah, you should add that to

30:20

your list. So, if you are fascinated

30:22

by Coles, it's definitely an interesting documentary

30:25

to get started. So

30:27

speaking of calls and

30:29

finding friends, It's

30:32

a good segue to whatever's happening. And

30:34

write in. So.

30:37

I know we've talked about this a lot, but we

30:39

record on Sunday and.

30:42

Of says, come out on Tuesday. So the

30:44

day that this is airing

30:47

and coming out. It's national girlfriend's

30:49

day. Aw. Just

30:52

celebrating couple of days early. We're

30:54

going to celebrate from. Actually today.

30:57

Is hold on today

30:59

is something. It's

31:01

like the international

31:04

day of relationships or something.

31:06

Oh, okay. Hold on. I'll find

31:09

it. It is. Oh,

31:11

international day of friendship. Oh,

31:13

okay. So I was going to talk more

31:15

about that, but since, well, I don't

31:17

have any international friends. But

31:20

you do. International fries.

31:23

You have to have friends that are international or is it just the

31:25

international world celebrates a day of friendship?

31:27

Well, when I was reading about it, it seemed

31:30

more like international

31:32

friendships. Okay. So

31:34

make sure to reach out and celebrate with your

31:37

international. Although I think I might've missed it because

31:39

it is now. Tomorrow in Australia

31:42

or almost tomorrow where some of my friends

31:44

live. And it's late, late at

31:46

night. Now, what time is it like two, one.

31:49

It's like six o'clock in the UK. I

31:52

still could find family there.

31:54

So I guess technically. I have

31:56

family and a family in Italy. They could be my friends.

31:58

There you go. I think I'm friends with one-on-one Facebook.

32:01

I don't see all the friends.

32:04

So today is the international day of friendship,

32:06

but Tuesday, the day you're hearing this

32:09

is national girlfriend's day. So

32:11

there wasn't a ton. I guess,

32:13

oh, the one thing that I did find

32:15

interesting. Was

32:17

apparently. So.

32:20

A lot of these are holidays that

32:23

people don't really know like how they're

32:25

started or anything like that. But

32:28

this one, hold on. I gotta find this cause

32:30

it made me giggle. So they said

32:32

that this started in 2004.

32:37

And. It seems

32:39

to stem from mistress,

32:41

Susan who runs a luxury

32:44

website. She says she created

32:46

and celebrated the date in 2004.

32:50

As a chance for gal pals to express

32:52

gratitude to each other. Oh,

32:54

thank. Thank you, Tracy. So. What

32:57

makes me laugh is she was a mistress.

33:00

So was she running like a whorehouse?

33:02

So like all the whores had to express

33:04

gratitude. Maybe

33:07

she just runs a low. Maybe she just likes to run

33:09

a luxurious website and call herself mistress.

33:11

Okay. Do you know what

33:13

website. I really didn't check it

33:15

out. They did not. Well, we might have

33:17

to do some Googling on Mr. Susan. Susan

33:21

and her luxury website. She just wanted to

33:23

make sure everybody was grateful. That's

33:25

so nice of her. Okay. Good. Go in so

33:27

many ways. So many ways.

33:30

We can take it to, although I will say so Tuesday.

33:34

It would be a great day to go see the Barbie

33:36

movie with your friend. Oh, that's true.

33:39

That's how you celebrate international

33:41

friendship. And it's $5 Tuesday.

33:44

Maybe we should be doing that since we said. A

33:46

women empowering. Yes.

33:50

I mean, Barbie and

33:52

I. I did find something. Oh,

33:55

I was going to put this in the group, but

33:57

I'm going to share, speaking of Barbie.

34:00

I found this on Facebook last

34:02

night. It said

34:05

is Barbie a child-free

34:07

icon. Barbie

34:09

never married or had babies

34:12

that's because Ruth. Handler

34:14

the creator. Barbie did not want

34:16

to reinforce the idea that young girls

34:18

should aspire only to marriage and motherhood.

34:21

Wow. A bit

34:23

more respect for Barbie, cause I'm not a huge

34:25

fan. I mean, I didn't play with Barbies

34:28

when I was growing up. So Harun

34:30

can never married. And there were an

34:32

a maybe. Barbie babies. I

34:34

does an excellent point. All right. I thought

34:36

that was interesting. Maybe we'll need to

34:38

go support. All right. All right, fine.

34:40

You've convinced me to do it. $5 Tuesday.

34:43

$5 Tuesday. You have to wear pink though.

34:46

You're going to have to let me borrow something. So

34:48

that's one way that you guys can celebrate national

34:50

girlfriend. Haven't seen the movie yet. Go

34:53

check it out. So

34:55

I did find some national

34:58

girlfriend day by numbers. Okay.

35:00

So some statistics. About the

35:02

girlfriend. All right. Okay. So

35:05

six. Is the number

35:07

of best friends. The average woman

35:09

has in her lifetime. Wow. Now.

35:13

This is a little contradicting. So I was confused.

35:16

16 years. Is

35:18

the lifespan of the average

35:20

female friendship. Okay. But

35:23

then it says 23 years

35:25

is the average friendship length for

35:27

women over 55. Is that

35:29

because they die? So

35:32

they can only be friends with somebody for 20 some years.

35:34

Well, so is the 16 years

35:36

just for people under 55. I don't

35:39

know. I don't know. Time's

35:41

almost up. Yeah. I

35:44

can't talk to you soon. We're going to have to, you know,

35:46

put down our friendships. One

35:49

in 10 women admit to

35:51

having more fun with their BFF.

35:54

Then with their partner. True

35:56

story. We just can't say. See,

36:04

that's not true because Mike's always with us.

36:06

We are the three best friends. I

36:09

agree. 47%

36:12

of women wish they could spend more

36:14

time with their best friend. I'm

36:17

going to say, that's probably not us. I spend

36:19

almost every waking minute together. Almost

36:24

too much. I think we're over that percentage.

36:26

One in four women think

36:28

their best friend knows them better than their

36:30

partner. I believe that.

36:34

Mike doesn't even remember my name sometimes. 67%.

36:39

I don't know, this is worded weird, more time.

36:42

Women spend. Okay. So that's

36:44

the amount of time women spend

36:47

improving romantic relationships

36:49

compared to their friendships. 60

36:52

per 7 cent of time is. Worked

36:54

on romantic relationships.

36:57

Okay. Our friendship. And work on our friendship.

36:59

What would you like to do? I'm

37:01

just saying like, Well,

37:04

it's not bros. I hope before hoes. What's the girl

37:06

one sisters before misters.

37:10

Nine is the number of close

37:12

friends. The average American has.

37:16

So apparently that's different than best friends

37:18

because that was six. So nice.

37:20

You just have nine other friends. Close

37:23

friends. Maybe.

37:26

This one was kind of sad. At

37:29

least it's a low number. 2%

37:31

is the number of people who claim

37:33

they have no close friends. They

37:37

need to come join our group. They

37:39

can be our close friends. We will be friends

37:41

with you. If you're out there. Oh,

37:46

Will we. Nicole volunteering.

37:51

That sounds so funny. Are you bringing Mike? That's

37:57

what she said. Okay. A whole

37:59

other direction. Okay, one

38:01

more. Okay. Statistic

38:03

day. 73%.

38:07

Is the number of Americans satisfied

38:09

with their friendships? 73.

38:12

Yeah. Oh, 27%

38:15

are like, they just don't like

38:17

their friends. Is that what that is satisfied

38:19

with their friendship? Okay. I

38:21

don't know what that means, but. Do

38:24

they need better friends? Do they need to come hang out with us? Apparently

38:27

they need to come hang out. I mean, I

38:29

like all my food, so.

38:32

Okay. All right. Thank

38:34

you for the next couple of years

38:37

that we have left. Where we have

38:39

to say goodbye to our friendships are. Well, that's

38:41

fine. Well, I hope everybody does something. Yeah.

38:43

Fun. I couldn't think of all of that word.

38:46

Fun. Sorry, can.

38:50

38:52
