AvenuePodcast. net Hi,

0:44

everybody, and welcome back to over

0:46

40 and child free we

0:48

are on episode 26. Nice.

0:52

We're getting old. We are getting old. I love

0:54

it. We are

0:57

over halfway through our actual

1:00

ages. Wow. Look at us.

1:02

It's cause we're getting old. Yeah. Our

1:05

podcast could be our child.

1:07

I don't like children. I'm kicking it out now. Goodbye,

1:12

it might be a little rough getting through the beginning

1:15

of this podcast today because

1:18

every time before we start

1:20

recording, we check the sound

1:23

to make sure we're recording. And the

1:25

sounds working because it has

1:27

not in the past, it has not. So we have

1:29

started talking and then all of a sudden one

1:31

of our mics isn't working and the whole

1:33

podcast sounds stupid. So

1:36

every week I try my DJ

1:38

voice and I check, check, check,

1:41

check 1, 2, 1, 2, and

1:43

Nicole makes fun of me. And today

1:45

she told me I do not have a DJ

1:47

voice. No, she does not have a DJ

1:50

voice. I mean, I don't have a DJ voice either, but. She's

1:52

just learning this so you'll have to you know console

1:54

her. I'm a little sad that I don't have a voice

1:58

I want to be Delilah. You were

2:00

not Delilah. Then she told me

2:02

I needed to have a deeper, sexy

2:05

voice. So I talk like this. Which

2:08

unfortunately probably did not

2:10

just come up on the microphone. Oh, why?

2:12

Because I've noticed when we

2:14

do different like

2:17

Octaves of our voice. It doesn't pick

2:19

up. It doesn't record. Just think the

2:21

yodeling pickle did not pick up.

2:23

That's true. When I told the story

2:25

about Mike playing

2:27

the game and the kid was

2:30

yelling, fuck you, Joe Pa, when

2:32

I was like yelling it, telling the

2:34

story and I had to cut it out of the podcast

2:37

because it never came through. Well, that's stupid. Yeah.

2:40

Well, if we would get our soundboard together,

2:42

maybe we would be able to add these sounds

2:44

in. This is. I don't think that the

2:46

soundboard would add in. Fuck you, Joe Pock.

2:48

I think we can make it though. We can have our own

2:50

recording. Just so everybody

2:52

knows what we're talking about, since I had to cut that out

2:55

of a podcast, Mike plays video

2:57

games and his

3:00

screen name. Is Joppa,

3:03

and he was playing against kids

3:05

and Nicole was in the other room and

3:07

all she could hear was somebody yelling through

3:09

the TV. Fuck you, Joppa, fuck

3:12

you, Joppa. And

3:15

my husband knows he plays with 12 year old kids most

3:17

of the time, so he doesn't engage with them, but

3:19

I could just hear the. It's yelling.

3:22

So I told the story in a calmer

3:24

voice. So hopefully it comes through this time.

3:27

If it doesn't, that's just ridiculous. I don't have words

3:29

with this recording. Because I was in

3:32

the story last time and I was yelling it. You

3:34

were. Yeah. So anyway. That's

3:38

what's happening so far today. So

3:40

how are you, Nicole? I am just

3:42

amazing. I guess. Amazing.

3:46

It's been a good week. It's been a good week. Tell me! So,

3:53

you know, I've been looking for a job. I do know,

3:55

and I was really hating. I hate looking

3:57

for a job. I think the process is.

4:00

Terrible. This a pain in the ass.

4:02

I'm like I was figuring there's gonna be a lot of things.

4:05

Go against me my age. I ha

4:07

I've worked for myself for a while. So

4:09

I just was like, not looking forward to this process.

4:12

So anyway. I

4:15

ended up applying to a job. It

4:17

turns out. I know somebody at the job. Nice.

4:19

That's always helpful. That was, that

4:21

was like totally random coincidence, but it really

4:24

worked out great. Anyway. Went in for an interview.

4:26

Gotcha. Sweet. So

4:28

I don't have to worry about looking for jobs

4:31

and it actually seems like a really good job. So I'm

4:33

actually really excited. And

4:35

I'm going to start next week. Wow.

4:38

So I am excited. Most people probably

4:41

listening, have jobs, and they're like, I don't know why you're excited

4:43

to go to work, but. I am.

4:45

I'm actually excited to have like a purpose in life

4:47

because I feel like I've just been doing nothing. Well,

4:51

it's also good to just have a routine

4:53

sometimes. I don't have

4:55

one at all. So, I mean, while

4:57

work isn't fun. It's

5:00

not all bad. Especially, if

5:02

you find peeps that you enjoy working

5:04

with. Shout out to mop.

5:07

Yes. Well, I don't work with as many pizzas

5:09

as you do, right. I don't think, well, I mean,

5:11

There's a lot of people in there, but in my department there's like two

5:14

of us. Well, hopefully you like that person. She

5:16

seems really nice. Great. So I hope

5:18

so, but everybody seems really nice when I went in. So

5:20

I'm hoping they stay that way. And the

5:22

person that we know that works there said that.

5:25

It's a good place to work. So, so

5:27

I'm excited about that. Then I will

5:29

have, I mean, because previously my routine was

5:31

watching Dateline from the time I got out two

5:33

at a time. I got home. Dateline.

5:35

I figure that's probably not as productive

5:37

and my mind is like not

5:40

used at all. Some days it's frustrating

5:42

and I'm bored to death. So I'm

5:44

really excited about that. So that was number

5:46

one. Why last week was great. Well, that's

5:49

a great reason for a great week.

5:51

Number two. Football started.

5:54

I am super excited for that. I did

5:57

star. I'm so

5:59

excited. So now I have to

6:01

plan our I'd set up our fantasy football

6:03

draft soon. Because actually the first games

6:06

are coming soon. Like almost September,

6:08

which is insane. I can't believe that. I

6:11

think at the. No, not at the end of this

6:13

week at the end of. Next week. Yeah, it'll

6:15

be September. Like, that's not that's

6:17

mind blowing. So

6:20

I'm not ready for it, but I'm ready for football. I'm

6:22

ready. We start

6:24

prior to Purdue. We

6:27

still might be less than two weeks. Penn

6:29

state is September 2nd. I think. So there's a second,

6:32

September 5th. Something like that. Yeah,

6:34

I think that's correct, because I remember

6:37

seeing on Facebook. Lion's

6:39

pride. Posted two weeks.

6:42

Football. And that would have been on Saturday

6:44

yesterday. So. I'm

6:46

excited. It's the second. Yeah,

6:49

because the first is a Friday.

6:52

And the wedding that we're going to

6:54

is on the ninth. So seven

6:56

days passed and it's the second would be.

6:59

Look at us doing math. It was a lot

7:01

of math. So I don't feel a lot of people out there who

7:03

loves sports and want to hear about sports because we

7:05

will probably be talking football for the next.

7:09

Especially regarding our fantasy

7:11

football league, which is a Lego

7:13

for yes. But we're

7:15

very competitive. We are, we do a lot of trash

7:17

talking. Yeah. Treating. Like

7:20

just randomly, our teams will switch. They will not look

7:22

like they did at the beginning. Because there's so

7:24

many good players available. I feel like I trade

7:26

at least three players a week. Because

7:28

I get mad. And I'm like, you stopped this week,

7:30

so you're gone. You're gone. You're

7:32

done. You're done. So, yeah. So

7:35

I'm excited about that. And then also, I know

7:37

you're, you're also your favorite thing, but I'm still excited

7:39

to Phillies are playing. Oh, yeah. I would say

7:41

they're doing, they were doing really well. They're all

7:43

kind of a losing streak right now, but I'm just

7:45

hoping that's just like rough and they're going to get

7:47

out of that. So I've been watching them.

7:49

So that's been keeping me entertained as well.

7:51

So there's just a lot of sports that are going to happen.

7:54

And then you will be proud of me.

7:56

I'm going to cut it. I

7:58

watched part of the little league

8:00

world series. Retired down.

8:03

No. Wow. I watched

8:05

and I discussed it with people.

8:08

Oh, yes, that's right.

8:11

So shout out to media. Yeah,

8:14

we're making it to the little league world series.

8:17

That's exciting. I would wish they didn't lose

8:19

today. Yeah. That's a bummer. They

8:21

were doing so good. There's some really good teams.

8:24

There are really good. I want to

8:26

say. My dad was watching

8:28

and one of the kids was throwing

8:31

was pitching like 80 miles an hour.

8:33

Did you watch the game before the, it was, did your dad

8:35

have the game on before the media game? Because there's

8:37

a picture in that game that I was like, did anybody check

8:40

to see if he's a professional pitcher? I

8:42

think we did have it on that might

8:44

have been when I was napping. Oh,

8:46

okay. Forget. I think it was a Panama

8:49

pitcher. They were. It

8:51

was an international game. He definitely had

8:53

a good arm. He was throwing. I'm pretty fast. And I

8:55

was like, well, Damn. Yeah. And

8:58

it was also cool because one of the kids, and I don't know

9:00

if it was Panama or Cuba that's who was playing. Her

9:02

dad was in the major leagues. They

9:05

ask question you like. What's your favorite food is your

9:07

favorite player. And he's like, oh my dad. That's

9:11

so cute. Yeah. And

9:13

then I did think it was super cool because the Phillies

9:15

team they're playing game. Little

9:17

league world series tonight. So they came out to the

9:19

game to cheer on the media team

9:21

today, which I thought was rude. That's

9:23

super cool. Yeah. And they must develop.

9:26

So. Cool. Because,

9:30

like I was thinking that.

9:32

The sillies would come and they would just be cheering

9:34

on baseball. The little league

9:37

and they were like, no, fuck you, Rhode Island. We're just going

9:39

to be over, sitting on the media side. Cheering

9:42

for them. And when you guys score seven rounds,

9:44

we're just going to sit there with angry faces on our,

9:46

our angry looks on our faces and we're not cheering for

9:48

you. Nice. So go Phillies. So

9:51

the media team should definitely feel special. They

9:53

had the Phillies on their side. I'm

9:56

going to get to go to the game. They probably got to meet some players.

9:58

So hopefully that takes a little bit of a step away.

10:01

'cause even get this far, like, forget

10:03

this far in the little league world series.

10:05

From what I understand is super impressive. I mean,

10:07

there's only 10 teams on each

10:09

side. Like there's 10. National

10:12

teams, 10 interviews. Really.

10:17

They listed them yesterday. I swear. It's

10:19

more than 10. It was the only ones left.

10:21

It might've been. But there's a lot more than 10.

10:24

But still in the grand scheme of things, that's

10:26

not a lot of teams anyway, expect. When

10:29

you're looking at international and. Yeah

10:31

in the north America. So yeah. It's

10:34

crazy because anyway, good job guys. I

10:36

know all the little kids are definitely listening.

10:38

Oh yes. So

10:41

their parents obviously are listening because they're over 40

10:43

in child-free. I

10:48

always love to give a shout out to Delco. And they're in the

10:50

news. I mean, I did

10:52

do a couple Delco chance yesterday. Perfect.

10:55

We're sucking you in. Well, what's

10:57

not get crazy, but I wanted

10:59

to support. Dell tonight. He loved Delco.

11:04

So, yeah. So. Not

11:07

much happening this week for me. It

11:10

was my last week of summer hours

11:12

or last Friday at the. Cool.

11:14

And then I had to

11:17

go to my parents this weekend cause I was dropping

11:19

Winnie off. They are watching Winnie this week because

11:21

I am away for work. And

11:24

we had a very nice weekend. So

11:26

yesterday, We gave Winnie

11:28

a bath because she was stinky.

11:31

And it's hilarious giving her a bath cause

11:33

she just pouts in the sink. So

11:35

it was the first time my dad had witnessed this

11:37

and he was like, this is pitiful. And I said, yeah, I

11:39

know. So then after her bath,

11:42

I wrapped her up in a towel and

11:44

I just like cuddle her. Because

11:46

she hates, I mean, she hates it. So

11:49

we were laying on the couch and I was really tired.

11:51

So I just like scooch myself down.

11:54

And then my mom actually came over and gave

11:56

me a different like blanket towel for

11:58

her because the one was all wet. That was laying

12:00

on me, which was gross. We switched the towel

12:02

and put her actually in a blanket. And

12:05

I just put her on the side of me and wrapped

12:07

her up and snuggled her. And we both took a nap.

12:09

Oh, that's so nice. It was a very trying time

12:11

for both of us. So we needed to now. And

12:14

then I went to see my nephew's

12:17

basketball game. During

12:19

which I leaned over, cause it was me and my dad

12:22

and I leaned over and I said, cause it was very

12:24

frustrating game. The refs were

12:26

not very good. I was getting

12:28

mad at the other team. And

12:31

I leaned over to my dad and I said, Now

12:33

I remember why I used to. Foul

12:36

out of each game. I played. I

12:39

was what you might call an aggressive

12:41

player. Okay. My mom today

12:43

was like, yeah, I remember the time you

12:45

wrapped your arm around

12:47

the girl's neck and pile drived her

12:49

into the ground. Wow,

12:52

Tracy. Yeah, I took it very

12:54

seriously and I did not like when

12:57

someone came up on me or if

12:59

the refs did not call something

13:01

correctly. I do believe at one

13:03

point I helped the ref by spelling,

13:06

walking for him. Because

13:08

he clearly didn't know what it meant. I'm

13:10

sure he appreciated the help. Yes. So.

13:14

Anyway, that's why I stopped playing

13:17

basketball. I may have been banned.

13:19

I don't, I mean, there's no proof of that. I

13:21

mean, I lean toward you that ban. It's

13:24

possible that might've happened on. It's a good thing

13:26

because you know, you hear a professional career in basketball. Wasn't

13:28

going anywhere. I definitely was not

13:30

going to get recruited because I

13:33

mean, unless they needed a rough and tough on their team,

13:35

like the girl to go out. But

13:37

otherwise they needed someone to go out and

13:39

be like, You know what. That kid's

13:41

been following us all day and they're not calling it. Take

13:43

care of him. I'm

13:46

running out. No offense to your height, but. Just

13:48

matter of screaming, it's not screaming basketball to make.

13:51

So. I mean, Alicia, talk about

13:53

my excellent. But in general.

13:56

I was giving you some credit debt. That you did. Maybe

13:58

have some athletic ability. Just running up and down

14:01

that court. It. It was your height that was really keeping

14:03

you out of yeah. The

14:06

day. Well, you know, And

14:08

it all went downhill. I've learned, going to

14:10

my nephew's games on why parents

14:13

now fight reps. Because I've

14:15

gotten to that point and I'm like, oh, now

14:17

I get it. I used to not understand it. And I

14:19

really don't get why it's just a kid's game. Let

14:21

me tell you I've hope I've had a hold myself back.

14:23

Yes. Trying to get it now

14:26

it's a very, especially when it's really get

14:28

vicious, frustrating. Like, what are you doing?

14:30

And the worst part about it is.

14:33

Everything is so like PC

14:35

now you're not allowed to

14:38

screen or yeah. Kick

14:40

you right out. 'cause I remember the

14:42

first basket. I went

14:44

to. The kid on the other team

14:47

shot the POL. Completely missed.

14:49

And I was like, My

14:51

parents. You can't

14:53

do that. We can't even do Arab.

14:58

I kicked out of here. You're not allowed

15:00

to do anything or say

15:02

anything. You can't yell at the refs. You can't

15:05

do any of that. All right. Well, that's ridiculous. Yeah.

15:08

That's just no. Apparently the refs

15:10

even get Kofi. So everybody gets trophies

15:12

these days. I

15:14

don't know. Seriously. 50 60

15:16

year old, man, you don't need a trophy. You did

15:18

a horrible job reffing, but we will.

15:21

What's the word I'm looking for? Tackle you. But

15:23

that's, that's, that's terrible. I

15:27

don't know. I was watching a Phillies

15:29

game. And they were

15:31

expressing out a. Pyre

15:33

from the Like, blah. Minor

15:36

minor leagues. He messed

15:38

up. Three. Please.

15:41

I'm pretty sure in a row. If

15:43

not in a row. It was two in a row and then

15:45

maybe one oh, A short time later. They

15:48

all got overturned because

15:50

it was that blatantly obvious on

15:52

how wrong. Wow. I

15:55

literally, I just, I think I yelled at the DV

15:57

for like five minutes straight about firing this

15:59

guy and he should never see the baseball field. And

16:01

Mike is like, what are you doing? And I'm like,

16:04

This guy. Like I just went off on a tangent

16:06

and I was so angry. I

16:08

might, should have actually gotten kicked out of a major league. Ballpark

16:11

for that, because I was like, you're

16:13

getting paid. This is your chance. How

16:15

are you fucking this up? Right. So. So those are

16:17

the kinds of things I also want to do at my

16:19

nephew's games as well. So I have to

16:22

really keep myself yeah. Checked

16:24

in and got overturned. Oh, thank

16:26

God. Could you imagine?

16:28

I mean, they might've been rushed the field if they didn't

16:30

get over to. By

16:32

the naked eye and having no professional

16:34

experience, I could see that. We

16:37

were wrong. And I was like, if they actually watch

16:39

this replay, they all should be fired.

16:41

And then it would've gotten even worse. I might've driven

16:43

to citizens bank park and waited for

16:45

those fuckers. That's how angry I was.

16:48

We were angry. I was angry. I don't know.

16:50

I'm really mad at her or anything, but I still angry.

16:53

Most waiting outside the gate. I'm

16:59

like find out where this guy does being

17:01

at the minor league level and go heckle them

17:03

there. All. All right, let's do it. I mean, if

17:05

I can't heckle kids, like I need to get.

17:08

Well, we will go find this guy. Showing up

17:10

to games. He

17:13

deserves it. He deserves every bit of heckling.

17:15

Better never show back up in the major leagues. He lost

17:18

his chance. I don't remember his name, but I hate

17:20

him. Okay. That's enough. That's

17:22

my rant on. On bad. Yes.

17:25

So it was, it was a weekend apparently of bad

17:27

breath because they were terrible. I

17:29

mean. At one point, there was a jump

17:31

ball twice. And twice they

17:33

gave it to the other team two times in a row. I

17:36

mean, every one of the crowd was like, dude, They

17:39

just got the jump ball. Why isn't it? Our

17:41

term? And they're just looking out asleep.

17:43

I had somebody that wasn't came in. Do

17:45

you not know, and they messed it

17:47

up the first time. So it should have been ours the first

17:49

time they gave it to the other team. Then

17:52

it was a jump ball again, and they still gave it to the

17:54

other team. Yeah. Why aren't

17:56

we bum rushing the court at that point? It's apparently

17:58

you're not allowed. I would get kicked out. I will say there

18:01

was one guy who yelled cause there was

18:03

a walking. And.

18:06

Right before the ref blew

18:08

his whistle and put his hand up one of the guys,

18:10

it was like a grandpa's sitting in the front row was

18:12

like, So

18:14

that was about as heckling as it got. And I was like, oh my God,

18:16

you're allowed to do that. And the rep

18:18

looked at him and he blew his whistle. He's like,

18:21

thanks. I got it. I wonder

18:23

what would happen if you and I are at. And

18:25

one of our nephews games together, probably

18:28

nothing good. Now we would definitely

18:30

get kicked out. The main through that whole game.

18:32

Yes. So that was what I did

18:34

yesterday afternoon. And then in the

18:37

evening, well, that was, it was

18:39

actually. Early evening

18:41

was the game. And then we went to my sister's house.

18:44

And had a fire out cause they did

18:46

their back. They put a nice little patio out

18:48

back. Fire pit. And

18:51

I was hanging with the fam, including

18:53

my nephews who are 13 and 15.

18:56

And I was told that

18:58

I need to give shout outs. Or

19:01

else they're going to mass dislike

19:03

our podcast. Well, I'm very concerned.

19:05

So shout out to Collin and Aiden.

19:08

Hello, Colin and Aiden, you guys.

19:11

I haven't seen you guys in a while, but you guys kick ass.

19:14

No, I can't. Oh. Which

19:17

one is which one really hates the

19:19

Patriots. And loves the giants. There's one,

19:21

that's more vocal about it than the other. One's

19:24

not into sports. And as the sports guy,

19:26

he does not love the giants. Oh, he makes

19:28

fun of me all the time. He

19:31

is a. The Hawks

19:33

and Broncos fan. Okay, so

19:35

now I'm taking back my shout out to him only

19:37

to Aiden. And he does hate the Patriots.

19:40

That's who Collin. Yeah, that's fine. I'm

19:42

giving him a shout out only to Aden. I take it back

19:44

column. And

19:46

he chose his teams based on their colors.

19:49

I'm not going to make 500 for that because. Something

19:51

I might do. I'm just saying. I'm

19:54

not, I am. I like to see hot colors.

19:57

The super bright green. But I do like their blue

19:59

color. So. Now, granted

20:01

this, he picked them way back when he was

20:03

younger. Now he's really into sports. So.

20:06

I mean he's, he's cold. Hold on tight to them

20:08

though. Veered away from them. I mean,

20:10

I'm going to say that the Broncos colors are fucking ugly.

20:13

Yeah, they are. So I can't get on that one, but I'll

20:15

get on the CX. But I'm still not giving them a shout

20:17

out. He did have an amazing experience

20:19

because he loves

20:23

the Toronto blue Jays. Oh,

20:26

is that correct? That is correct. Okay. So

20:28

they went on a vacation and

20:31

they stayed at a hotel that

20:33

basically overlooked. So awesome.

20:35

They overlooked it. He went to a game with

20:37

his dad and then they went to Niagara falls

20:39

on the Canada side, which actually,

20:42

so my mom. And

20:44

dad took my cousins from Wales.

20:47

This, this no last summer. Two.

20:50

Niagara falls on the us side.

20:53

And I thought it would be a cool trip

20:55

to go up. Go on the us

20:57

side, then go over to the Canada

21:00

side and do both sides

21:02

because they're both so different. And

21:04

that'll be fine. I think we should do that. It's all my

21:07

it's on my bucket list because I have not been there. But I

21:09

added the Toronto a stadium. So

21:11

my plan is to try to get there. So. They

21:13

just played. And affiliates pop

21:15

in Toronto. Okay. And all

21:18

the Philly fans had hotel rooms and big.

21:21

Don't go page. They brought their Delco

21:24

flag and I thought I'd be really cool to

21:26

go up there. Watch the Phillies

21:28

play and then go to see this fight.

21:30

So my grade on that same page. They said

21:32

it was really cool and the pictures were awesome.

21:35

So I don't even have to leave my hotel room to watch the

21:37

game. Now if it's a sucky game. Just

21:39

to go do something else. Because my sister

21:41

and my oldest nephew didn't go to

21:43

the game. So they went and tried to do some other

21:45

stuff, but ended up back in the hotel. And

21:48

they could see the game. But they

21:50

couldn't see. Like sometimes

21:52

they couldn't see, like, if. Paul was caught or

21:54

so. They put it on the TV as well.

21:57

And it was funny because the TV was

21:59

on a delay. They could hear

22:01

it. And then they would be like, We

22:03

would look at the TV to find out nice. There are

22:05

some rooms that had like really amazing. You

22:08

could actually watch when I was like, I do that.

22:10

I would do that. Yeah. It was really cool.

22:12

I'm on board. Those were all my look at me

22:15

and you with children's stories. Sorry,

22:18

it might've hurt your guys' ears, but. We

22:20

have never veered from the fact

22:22

that we are awesome ants. We are also man. Love

22:24

my nephews and nieces. Whatnot.

22:27

They make fun of me. You know,

22:29

they're at that age. My, my nephew.

22:32

Want to hear a funny enough you story? I'll tell this funny. I

22:34

can't wait to hear this nephew sound. So

22:37

like two weeks ago. My

22:39

oldest nephew messages me and says he's

22:41

at the mall. And

22:43

can I send them like 10 or $15? Okay.

22:46

It doesn't seem like a lot. So like you really like 10

22:48

or $15, I'm thinking to myself, maybe he wants.

22:51

Something to eat or something like that, whatever. Well,

22:54

I was thinking to myself, what can you get for 10 or 15

22:56

guys? So, anyway, I

22:58

said, I asked him if it was an emergency, did he need help?

23:00

Didn't mean anything. It just whatever. And he was just messaging me back

23:03

and he was like, no, no big deal, whatever. So

23:05

anyway, I sent a 20 bucks. Like

23:07

two weeks later, my sister sends me what

23:09

he bought. And so

23:11

he just bought a very, very.

23:15

Interesting. Interesting. X-rated

23:17

type. Chert probably from hot

23:20

topic. And I

23:22

I cannot even say what they, what it is.

23:26

I don't remember what. Okay. You're going

23:28

to have to, you can't. Tease

23:30

them with that story and not tell them.

23:32

And then you say, well, if I can. Okay.

23:37

Oh, so the t-shirt.

23:41

That he bought. My sister texted me, says,

23:43

in case you want to know what your money bought me

23:45

some. The t-shirt

23:47

says truly. All the pussy. Big

23:50

question, mark. So that

23:52

apparently is what he was doing with my

23:54

money. Way to go.

23:57

I'm like ant the year right now.

24:00

So I was like, damn it. Now I'm going to have to ask him

24:02

questions. If he asked me running. Like,

24:04

what are you doing? I didn't ask them any questions. It wasn't like he lied

24:06

to me because I really just, I asked. Is it an emergency?

24:08

He said, no. I need to have someone who's

24:10

going to use it for. So therefore that

24:13

was my bad. But he also buy

24:15

a second shirt. He did also buy a second

24:17

shirt. You did not pay for this one, though,

24:19

right? And I don't think so. My sister

24:22

said that it was her money. She had given up.

24:25

And I was like, you think you would've learned from when. Money.

24:27

Let's flip a coin. I

24:30

get tail. Kale's I get fed.

24:33

Wow. For sure. I mean, maybe

24:36

now he got to gets it. He's going to be 13

24:38

in two weeks. So like, Maybe he understands,

24:40

I don't know. We think he's just doing it because

24:42

his friends will, he like, for whatever reason he thinks

24:45

it will help. Be popular with his friends

24:47

or whatever. Aye. And

24:50

I don't know, maybe kids do know

24:52

all of it, but. Do

24:54

they fully know or do they just

24:57

know it's like sexual and they think it's funny.

24:59

But I think it's just, you know, but who knows these

25:01

days? That is true things. Start. So

25:06

one of my sister's friends came on and was like, my

25:08

son did that and I took them right back to the store.

25:10

And not only did. And my son.

25:14

But sold it to them where I probably wasn't even the same

25:16

person that sold it to them. And, and

25:19

let them have it. And I was like, I would like to see

25:21

that happen. It's

25:23

probably like, I don't know who this kid

25:25

is. I feel like, listen. He

25:27

doesn't have to be 18. Like. It's

25:31

hot topic. That's where I think it was. Cause they're

25:33

the only store I could imagine in the mall. Yeah.

25:36

And so you said this small doesn't have a spec. Doesn't have

25:38

to Spencer's cause that's the only other one now I don't know what

25:40

mall he was at. So maybe I'm maybe I'm giving

25:42

too much blame probably. Hopefully probably even equally

25:44

until I find out. So. Dispensers are hot topics.

25:47

I'm sure he's not walking into the gap. I'm not sure.

25:49

Probably not. Yeah, probably. Yeah.

25:54

Kind of the year. Cause I understand ask any questions.

25:58

Good times. Good times. He

26:00

wears it on the first day of school. I hope

26:02

so, too. I think my sister has confiscated them.

26:05

Really, there was a third church that wasn't as. It

26:08

wasn't sexual, but it was not. I

26:10

don't know, maybe it had something to do with the president. Now

26:13

the question is, was he like. Mom

26:15

look at my new shirt. Did. Did she just happen

26:17

upon the shirts? No, he did not

26:19

show us or, but apparently he put it in the laundry. So

26:23

what if you want to know where he gets this brilliant this

26:25

from, I mean, let me throw you this quick story,

26:27

cause it'll kind of get you to understand why

26:29

he threw it in the laundry and not thought anything of

26:31

it. My sister when she was in first grade.

26:35

She needed to, she had a non for first

26:37

grade teacher. My brother, his sister had her, I

26:39

did not have her, but she was like, this definitely. You were afraid

26:41

of her. She should not have been teaching for graders at all,

26:44

because she was like that. None you hear about and whatever.

26:51

It's just getting cheaper, signed by my mom

26:53

and my mom didn't sign it. So

26:55

my sister thought. She

26:58

was going to do it. So she signed.

27:02

She signed it, but she signed it moms.

27:05

And not only that, but she convinced another kid

27:07

to do the same thing to. So they both

27:10

handed in with their signatures. Mom.

27:13

So, if you want to know where my nephew gets,

27:15

his brilliant. That's

27:18

where it comes from. Shout out to Gina

27:20

and Mason. Well, it's a shout out. It's

27:22

fun. Maybe

27:25

not all. So

27:28

that was my weekend. This

27:31

week, I'm back to my regular hours.

27:33

No more pool Fridays. Sad.

27:36

I do have to go to Gettysburg this week. maybe

27:38

I'll see a ghost. Maybe who'll be, do. Yeah,

27:41

hopefully they don't come home with me. I don't bring

27:43

them home. But it's

27:45

going to be a weird week because I've three

27:47

nights with no Winnie. Wow.

27:49

I know. I'm gonna have so many wake ups,

27:51

not at four 30 in the morning. That

27:54

will be amazing. And I'm super excited

27:56

because when she goes to my mom's like the

27:58

whole weekend I was there, I woke her up.

28:01

So. Saturday. I

28:03

woke up, I woke up at six because

28:05

I had to pee. And

28:08

that was the only reason that she got up. And

28:10

then today. I

28:13

woke up at eight and had to pee. And

28:15

that was what she got. And I actually had to like

28:17

coax her out of bed at that point. Now we did get

28:19

home late last night. So she went

28:21

out at like midnight. So

28:23

partying. So that

28:26

makes a little more sense, but. Yeah.

28:28

Slipped right in. Well, that's good. Maybe she'll come home with

28:30

two new sleeping patterns. So help me God, if she

28:32

comes home and goes right back to four 30,

28:35

I'm going to strangle her. She's going to be a

28:37

lot of trouble. Yeah. She's going in her cage.

28:40

Hacker Creek Cape sounds so bad. So

28:44

I'm missing my roommate for the week. I'm

28:46

sure you're really tired about them. Tears

28:49

tears to believe. Sometimes

28:52

I miss her sometimes I'm like, oh, this is a nice

28:54

break. It depends on the minutes.

28:56

Okay. So we

28:58

were looking and we've been talking a lot

29:01

about. Fun

29:03

holidays for the week. And there really

29:05

wasn't anything fun this week. Yeah.

29:08

So we decided since

29:10

I'm, without my roommate, That

29:12

we would talk about the worst

29:15

roommate stories that you've ever had

29:17

because there's a documentary on Netflix.

29:20

And I think it's called the worst roommate. Something like

29:22

that. So we haven't watched it yet,

29:24

but it sparked our interest. So number

29:27

three, there's a local story in there from Delco, by

29:29

the way. Yeah, I

29:32

think they're in Delco. So

29:36

we are going to watch it. So we'll fill you

29:38

in if there's anything good, but if anybody has

29:40

watched it, please come to the group

29:42

and tell us because we are very. So

29:46

my question, Nicole is, Do

29:48

you have any personal,

29:51

horrible roommate stories? Sure

29:53

do. I'll be honest when I was when I

29:55

went into my freshman year, because the first year I

29:57

had a roommate. And I would probably say, I

29:59

wasn't the worst roommate from hell, but I

30:01

think I was immature. So there's probably people who say, I

30:03

wouldn't have been the best roommate at times because

30:06

I was like, you. We have our moments anyway,

30:10

but my. Junior

30:13

year. I don't even know

30:15

I'm an, or my C maybe like my. Senior

30:18

year. It was one of those years.

30:21

One of these. I think it was my senior year because I graduated.

30:23

I went on another semester after my senior year.

30:27

I had a year and a half of Sr. So anyway.

30:30

We moved in. So I had moved

30:32

in with two of our roommates

30:34

that. We lived with in an apartment

30:36

of four. They want it to move into an apartment.

30:39

Of two. So they moved out and they

30:41

went up. Into their own thing. So we had to replace

30:43

that and it was me and at the time, one of my best

30:45

friends and I'm sorry, sisters. And

30:47

then we moved in with these two

30:50

girls that. I knew from Delco.

30:52

So anyway, so they were the, the

30:54

girlfriends of Mike. His

30:57

two roommates. Oh, I was like, wait. So

31:00

Mike. It's not like Mike

31:03

and his two roommates lived together and it was their girlfriends

31:05

that moved in with us. And I had been friends with. His

31:08

roommate, one of his roommates since. I

31:10

was like 15. So I knew him really well, good

31:12

friends. They moved in. Anyway, so that

31:14

year, to this day, I honestly don't know,

31:17

but my best friend's already sister

31:19

decided she kinda broke up with me. She decided

31:21

she didn't want to be my friend anymore. And she

31:23

never gave a reason why she didn't want to be my friend

31:25

anymore. She just sort of stopped

31:27

speaking with me. I remember at some point we even

31:29

went out to lunch so I could find out What happened

31:32

or whatever. And to this day, I'll be

31:34

honest. I literally have no idea. We

31:36

didn't get into a fight. There was no. We're

31:38

never the only thing I kind of thought was By the

31:41

time we got to our senior year, I worked

31:43

outside there. I played the cross, I did other things.

31:45

And so I had friends outside. Public.

31:48

Para, I made friends. And she, I

31:50

don't know that she did except for our sorority sisters.

31:53

And so my thought was she kind of wanted to

31:55

do her own thing. And so she

31:57

kind of broke up with me to go be free, to have

31:59

all their friends. I'm not really. I can still

32:01

have other friends. That's

32:05

why I'm not really sure. So in any case, It

32:08

was already starting off not to be. A

32:10

great year. And then and did

32:12

you still have to live with her the whole semester? So

32:15

we shared a Rand, shared a room together. So

32:18

we live together. So anyway, so then these other two girls

32:20

moved in and like I said, I had gotten along with them before,

32:22

like there was no problem. Well, then we got

32:25

one. One of the girls. And I got

32:27

into a argument over something stupid

32:29

that I said to them that they didn't like. So she, she

32:32

dated there, they were dating

32:34

the two guys that lived with. And

32:37

the one girl. He was dating

32:39

the guy. She was a cheerleader in high school.

32:41

She was very pretty, she was very Octo in

32:43

like very, you know, whatever. And

32:45

The hit her boyfriend had liked her for so

32:47

long, had liked her in high school. Oh, wow. I

32:50

really liked it for a long time and they were just my.

32:53

I just felt like she was not into him.

32:55

Like, she just really wasn't intent. She did. I

32:57

just, didn't never got that feeling that she really

32:59

liked him. And I don't know what something was said. I

33:01

said something about it to her. Which

33:05

apparently she could never get over. So he stopped

33:07

speaking. I guess now. Those

33:09

two are the two girls were best friends. So

33:11

now neither of them are speaking to me. My

33:14

other, friend's not speaking to me. It was a good thing.

33:16

I had other friends outside of this. Yeah.

33:18

So it was very awkward and very

33:21

weird, but anyway, where it gets to be the, where

33:23

I think it went downhill because I could, like,

33:25

I dealt with having to live with people that weren't. I

33:27

mean, I had two jobs. I had other

33:29

friends like there all the time. I'm

33:31

like I slept whatever. So I was like, it's fine.

33:34

It is what it is. I mean, it was upsetting, but

33:36

whatever. Well, One

33:38

weekend. I don't know. I not

33:41

sure what happened, but. The

33:43

one. My ex friends, she

33:45

was going to go stay upstairs with our other two friends

33:47

for the weekend and lost kind of like I sort of was like,

33:49

why would you do that? Cause it was just weird to me. And

33:51

she said that our other. Roommates.

33:55

We're going home for the weekend, but had given her

33:57

brother and his friends, the keys

33:59

of our apartment. Oh, that's sad

34:01

that. They could stay there for the weekend. Well,

34:03

she never asked me she was gone.

34:06

You. Before. They got

34:08

there. So, I didn't even know who they

34:10

were. I kicked them out. I told him I had

34:12

to leave and go. And then

34:14

things just went really. So just, I got

34:16

on my answering machine, from

34:19

them because they was. And I was like, fuck

34:21

you. Right. You should have at

34:23

least asked. We don't speak. I

34:25

don't speaking terms. I don't know your

34:27

brother. I don't know his friends. If

34:29

you're going to go home, like, honestly, I'd rather just have

34:31

the apartment to myself. My apartment. It's

34:33

my space. It's not just your space, right?

34:36

You don't get to just say you don't just get to say who

34:38

was ever right there. So

34:40

that was. The fall semester.

34:42

So the end of the fall semester, we had just

34:45

come to an agreement. Even if it

34:47

was not even really an agreement, I started looking for a place

34:49

to stay. Cause I was like, I'm not dealing with this.

34:51

whatever. Another semester

34:53

now. So I moved out, actually moved

34:55

out into a really great situation with these two

34:57

girls. Obviously I'd never met, but we had so much fun

34:59

for that semester. They were really, they were graduating,

35:02

but they were super fun. And. After that I

35:04

moved in with Kristen. And so,

35:06

you know, So I actually lived with Kristin for

35:08

a semester and he lived with Kristen for a semester. And then.

35:11

I had asked her if she wanted to come down, I'd asked a friend

35:13

of mine and Chris, and if they wanted to come live

35:15

at the shore for the summer, And did

35:18

so that was the summer after. Went

35:20

down the shore for the summer. And then we lived together in the fall.

35:23

But I only lived with her first semester. I was like, damn, where were

35:25

you? Like here? I could've really

35:27

used you, Kristen. So yeah, so

35:29

like, I don't know. I looked back and I think I,

35:31

I always try to wonder did I do it because I

35:33

was mad at them, but I don't think so. Like I just

35:35

don't. I feel like that was an inappropriate.

35:39

Yeah, I agree. And

35:41

I had a similar experience. So

35:44

when I was in grad school,

35:46

I roomed with two girls who were

35:48

still undergrad and we had known each other for

35:50

years. And. The

35:52

one weekend. I

35:54

was like a TA for grad school.

35:56

So I was grading papers and. My

35:59

one roommate was like, oh my cousin

36:01

and friend, or I don't know somebody

36:04

were coming over. And I was

36:06

like, okay, that's fine. But I have to

36:08

grade papers. So it can't be a big party.

36:10

Do you know what I mean? Well, she

36:12

was out. Same kind

36:14

of situation. They show up. There is a

36:16

full fledged party going on. And

36:20

I. I think I was texting her. Where

36:22

are we texting back then? I think

36:24

so. Yeah, I think so. And

36:27

like, she did nothing about it. And I remember,

36:30

I think I went into my, into our bathroom

36:33

and there was puke in the sink. So

36:36

we had a board at the end of the

36:38

hallway and high row, A nasty. No,

36:40

I'm like clean this fucking shit

36:42

of absolutely not. This is not okay.

36:44

Whatever. So I don't even know if

36:46

she ever apologized for it. That's

36:49

just like you don't have your underage

36:51

kid. Pretty sure they were underage come

36:53

and throw a ranger in my apartment.

36:57

Great. And you're not even here. Absolutely

36:59

not. And this was the same

37:01

roommate who, so

37:04

her alarm clock would never wake her up.

37:06

So she used the static

37:09

from the radio. Turned all

37:11

the way up. And she had so.

37:14

The upstairs was a hallway. I was on

37:16

one end of the hallway. My other friend

37:18

was on the other end and she was in

37:20

the middle. And that

37:22

wouldn't wake her up either, but it would

37:25

wake both of us. Oh my God. Different

37:27

rooms and it was just this. Like

37:29

loud. Fuzzy.

37:33

Me going in her room and screaming

37:35

at her, I'm like shocked. I

37:39

won't say her name. That should have been

37:41

her alarm. It should have. Yes.

37:44

It was awful. Yeah,

37:47

that we, we definitely,

37:49

I think we ended on okay. Terms,

37:51

but it was, it was a Rocky road for

37:53

us. Because we were very different people

37:56

and it was a shame because her

37:59

and the other roommate had been best

38:01

friends. And then we all moved in

38:03

together and. That one's true

38:05

colors started to come out and then me and the other

38:07

girl became really close. And I think that

38:09

made her even matter. So

38:11

she would do shitty things. Just because she was pissed.

38:16

Yeah, it was, it was good times.

38:19

So I have to share because it

38:21

led me to look up. Horrible

38:24

roommate stories. And

38:26

there's a ton out there. So I'm just going to pick like

38:28

one or two of my favorites. This

38:30

one. I hope never

38:32

happens to anyone. So

38:35

it says my old roommate, he

38:37

was technically the homeowner, but lived in a shack

38:39

in the backyard. Would come

38:42

into my room early in the morning

38:44

and watch me sleep. I

38:46

was a bartender at the time. So

38:48

I would get home about an hour or so

38:51

before he would be leaving for work.

38:53

I was always thoroughly passed out when

38:55

he leave and I'm a heavy sleeper. So

38:58

I did not notice this was happening for

39:00

months. Until a guy I

39:02

was seeing state up and caught him

39:04

opening the door. There was also

39:06

a second door to my room that I could not

39:09

open. It was locked from the other side.

39:11

I don't know what was going on in there, but

39:14

I'm fairly certain, he was spying on me

39:16

from that room as well. Yeah.

39:18

That's not even a bad roommate. That's just

39:20

get the fuck out of there before he murders you. That's

39:23

creepy. Terrible

39:25

roommate. This just Pratt three out

39:27

because. I could see this same person.

39:32

Okay. So the common theme of

39:34

all of these roommates stories, most

39:37

of the time is the ate all my food.

39:39

Then they yelled at me if I touched any of their food like

39:41

that. A common thing. So. We

39:44

had a ton of food going missing,

39:46

and we all knew who it was, but

39:49

my best bud. The landlord

39:51

discretely set up a webcam in

39:53

the kitchen. Within a couple

39:55

of days. We caught the guy.

39:58

Eating a stick of butter straight

40:00

from the rapper. And then he

40:02

went into the pantry. Grabbed

40:05

a bag of sugar and just started

40:07

chugging it. Motherfucker was

40:10

making cookies in his mouth. Oh,

40:12

imagine if that's what was only camera that you were, that he's

40:14

eating a stick of butter and salt and sugar, like

40:17

what. I mean. How can

40:19

you even take a bite

40:21

of butter and eat it? Right.

40:25

Do you want to have, like, gonna make you vomit

40:27

stories? Okay. I have two of those

40:30

and then maybe we'll call it quits. Okay.

40:33

She had this full cup of

40:35

quote liquid by her bed.

40:38

There's no better way to describe it. Really.

40:40

She kept her toothbrush in it, bristles

40:43

down in the liquid. And

40:45

when it came to brushing time,

40:47

she basically just take the toothbrush

40:49

out. Brush her teeth spit

40:52

into the cup and shove her toothbrush

40:55

back into her. I mean, I guess that's

40:57

not harming the other

40:59

roommates, but. That's just

41:01

gross. Okay. The

41:05

roommate. Who has

41:07

stuck the dump. From

41:09

inside her pimples. On

41:12

the mirror. Not once,

41:15

not twice. Not

41:17

three times. But four

41:19

times. That's

41:21

disgusting. And

41:24

the fact that I had to see the picture was. Not.

41:27

That's disgusting. Yeah.

41:30

Where do these people come from? I don't know, but this,

41:33

this article that I found, literally

41:36

hold on, I will scroll down. I want

41:38

to say there's 50 stories on. Oh, you should

41:40

share it in our group. So if people want to read about

41:43

and make themselves feel better because there's

41:45

a lot of good ones, but I mean,

41:47

I could go on forever. Okay. So maybe not

41:49

50. There was. 28.

41:52

Okay. So a lot of stories. That's

41:54

a lot. But that was just one article. And

41:57

I found other articles with like 10, 12.

42:00

15. I feel like if I'm right,

42:02

it was around when I was in college, it would have been I would

42:04

have put it in the. So I would put my story in

42:07

it. Am I the asshole read it so I can find

42:09

out what other people thought. If I was really on

42:11

the wrong. Not well, maybe

42:13

if you could find out why your friends stopped talking

42:15

to, you would know if you were in the wrong or not. Oh

42:18

for her. The other two where

42:20

I threw out there, brother. That's where I was the

42:23

other one. If they were

42:25

home fine. If you had met them before.

42:28

Maybe if they had discussed

42:31

it with you, right. Cause I wasn't that big of an

42:33

asshole. If she, if she had just asked

42:35

me. I probably would have had the balls back then to

42:37

have a confrontation. Oh, that's totally

42:39

fine. Right. But yeah, don't

42:41

do that. Be an asshole. So

42:44

do. At times having a roommate. It's funny because every

42:46

once in a while I have thought about getting

42:48

a roommate. When I think when he

42:50

is about as sassy of a roommate

42:52

that I need, maybe, maybe on our

42:54

next episode, we could talk about my current roommate

42:57

and I'll let you know horror stories about that. Okay.

43:00

Which one? Because you have six. I

43:03

could love with both. I've had, I need some dog stories

43:05

or my husband. Damn husband. So

43:07

I guess the question of this week is going to

43:09

be, what is your worst roommate story? You. I

43:11

have one. So come on, tell us what you got. Can't

43:14

wait to hear. I love to hear a good horror

43:16

story that doesn't involve me. Exactly. They

43:18

43:20
