Starting point is 00:02:10 and also her girlfriend emily oh my god new character unlocked hey emily what do they call you do they have m uh there's a guy that i dated is an incredibly generous term there is a guy who that i slept with um and we were like friends so i get someone i know anyways a friend that you benefited from that's also kind of generous who is a friend that you engage with activities with yeah um and he calls me m but like em and i'm like totally cute in like a romantic like book talk kind of way a little odd for like we didn't date like we've got pet names now was he calling you that before he entered you no i don't think so well he felt yeah he felt comfortable yeah i was like okay happy for you i guess so i have to tell you something that
Starting point is 00:03:13 it's visual so everybody i need what i'm scared i'm just letting people know that they can watch this can't they yeah on spotify exactly so it will it aids in all of this i'm not gonna say this is the level of my doppelganger me and shelly but like it is an important thing like for you to understand so let me set the stage this happened probably let's get like two days ago because i looked from some when this tiktok was uploaded and i'm sitting on the couch matz is like not sitting directly next to me i'm pretty sure he's like touching up some of the paint in the living room so he's more so like looking over my shoulder from a bit of a distance and this is the video that i was watching i'm watching mecca doing her uh love island season
Starting point is 00:04:06 7 episode 18 recap and as mons is you know absolutely he's he's painting he looks over and he goes is that that uh that that uh michael b jordan lady and i was like huh who and he goes the lady from the red carpet who interviewed michael b jordan and i was like no and then i go to look up the video because i was like i don't think we ever saw her face he goes no we saw her face hold on how does he remember this this man doesn't remember a lot of things melissa that's what i said and so this is the glasses and i was like oh my god insanely spot like because i was like i didn't even know we ever saw her face well i mean that's understandable considering who she's in the video with yeah i was like she's behind the camera monster's like she is not behind the camera
Starting point is 00:04:58 i look it up and i go okay fair totally fair and i was like the glass is stuck with you i literally giggled so hard and then i had to save them side by side because you look at them side by side you go okay they are wearing the same glasses i am texting yeah can you send me the photo of that woman yeah i laughed so hard and he was like wait sorry no is that like is that right and i was like no no i didn't realize that a we saw this woman on camera and like that was incredibly spot on and i was like i was just giggling so hard because like you said the fact that the woman was ever on camera to the point where he remembered what she looked like and here i am arguing saying we quite literally never saw her no i just blocked her out completely out of my out of my mind's eye
Starting point is 00:05:49 and then to have remembered from that singular video see the glasses and go is that that same lady and i said no that's mecca and he had oh oh oh my dad because he's far away but he just saw he saw those he saw those frames and said isn't that that lady who i believe michael b jordan in science class it's also impressive that he was able to make out that much detail with being far way he was like over my he's not like across the room it's more like over my shoulder and i guess you know the video the video like that michael b jordan interview must have like really stuck with him i guess so and it had to have been the shift in the glasses because he's seen me watch mecca's videos and has never made that statement before
Starting point is 00:06:34 and i think it was between the distance and the glasses i was like that is so funny and oh and i think i was listening with headphones so he couldn't hear her voice and i he he was like sorry and i was like no no i'm i'm laughing because you did it that that was that was solid and it it tickled me speaking of glasses and michael b jordan i weirdly just open up instagram that's really and it says the mount rushmore of the slutty little glasses cinematic universe uh-huh oh my god yeah yeah so we've got if you're just listening we've got michael b jordan we've got andrew garfield got pedro pascal and captain america no i think that's jonathan bailey oh you're correct because i found him attractive and at first i thought it was jonathan bailey
Starting point is 00:07:28 at first i thought it was chris evans and i said some those glasses are actually doing a lot of heavy lifting because somehow I'm sexually attracted to this man. And then I realized I always am because that's Jonathan Bailey. Yeah, I was looking at it from an angle, but yes, you were right. I love his slutty little glasses. Oh, you can see him better. Oh, yeah. Jonathan Bailey.
Starting point is 00:07:47 I'm fucking excited for the new Jurassic. Oh, yeah. He can do no wrong. You know that Andrew Garfield He does nothing for me. Well, that is because that's my Spider-Man. Yeah. Would you kick Tobey Maguire out of bed? He's so... I don't find Tobey Maguire attractive.
Starting point is 00:08:04 No, but because he was your Spider-Man. There's nothing about Tobey Maguire that he would ever be in my bed. Okay, Peter Parker. If it was, what's his name from New Girl? Nick Miller. Jake Johnson. Yes, if it was Jake Johnson version, which I know was animated, but it still looks like him. And you know how I feel about his nose.
Starting point is 00:08:32 then he could be in my bed but every other version of him is like a child okay i i'm just saying that when i i i do think i think andrew garfield is like cute but i think a huge a huge portion of that was that he was my spider-man and i like loved like i loved peter parker at the time also i was in high school so like and he was in high school it makes sense i mean andrew garfield is my age i believe anyway but i just nothing about him does anything for me does he do more for you and we already yes more than toby toby don't you talk why do you keep bringing him in because toby's a little unsettling i and we've had this conversation and i'm not trying to be insensitive at all but when i picture andrew garfield in my head i picture what he looked like back then
Starting point is 00:09:25 and that was before his hairline moved up oh i do think he went to turkey i know that oh you meant when i picture him i picture when his hairline was back further oh oh oh oh okay okay you you've stuck in the um the receding era as opposed to the bountiful era yeah yeah well it's hard i mean he just looks like he has too much hair like he should be playing wolverine now that is the issue is that um it does seem like so unbalanced well i thought i know someone i follow someone on tiktok who is like a hairstylist and his husband went to turkey to like get a hair transplant and people were like well why did he get a hair transplant with like a widow's peak and like still receiving hairline he's like because like it's fucking insane for people to go to turkey to get a
Starting point is 00:10:11 hairline that they quite literally never had before like if you want to like if you want to have your 20 year old hairline just know you don't have your 20 year old face but also if you want to have a hairline that has never ever been within your grasp in your entire life it is gonna look a little funky like the best way to kind of do it in like a less obvious way if that's what you're going for or you just are trying to like you know refresh like get back to where you were it's it's not having an absolute like a quite literally like a penciled in hairline there's a man on this season of love island and i thought maybe i was being mean at first because i was like because the uk holy shit the way that the hairlines there are the teeth and
Starting point is 00:10:54 the hairlines are fucking crazy but in american love island do you know that um that spray that fiber spray that you can and they do it in film all the time when you put your hair back do it in black hair yes you go get your hair done you a lot of guys get it done so um when we did freakish melvin he wouldn't be mad at me saying this because he has very he's a very thick full hairline but there was like one part where they were just trying to do something at like a sharper angle so they got paper they spray it give him like that um i think it was to show the difference of time of like the first day there versus like naturally kind of grow out of his hair so i'm like familiar specifically with with that and like you have to get the kind of fibers that
Starting point is 00:11:34 match the texture of your hair otherwise your hair starts to kind of just it just looks like you got shoe polish and put it on your hair line it it looks like a dust bunny like it looks like it's laying on top of and when people just do it on top not their scalp they don't do they don't they're not doing that but when they do it just on top and there's a man on the island where he turns to the side his hair transparent like you can see right through it but from the front not looking like that not looking like that and every time I like hold my breath when someone girl it goes to kiss him and touch his hair I'm like don't don't do that to him don't don't do that it's it is like perched it like low-key looks like it is just like placed perfectly and
Starting point is 00:12:16 if you move too fast it fall off and I just think that some guys look amazing bald all men look better bald than with five wisps of a hair yeah if you're gonna want some extra hair you might as well get a two pair wig yes and i have no issue with that and i have no issue with it no like i like people people don't like bald guys and i'm like no yeah i do a lot of there's people who like specifically their type bald men but like in general i never look at a bald man and go look, that man looks insecure. Like, that's, like, it never does that. Like, if you want to put the effort in, put the effort in. That is sexy. If you want to be, like, I'm confident, I don't care, shave my head, that is also sexy. If you want the best of both worlds, where you're, like,
Starting point is 00:13:08 I want to look like this, but I want to put on absolutely little, zero effort, and I'm going to be deeply insecure about it, and, like, worried about it, and then projecting about it, I'm not interested. Like, I'm just not interested. Because, like, there is something very attractive about someone who like does not have the fragile masculinity that is like oh I can't do it like I don't want to fuss with my hair too much and I'm like no that's you can be
Starting point is 00:13:29 a man and get a hair transplant that's fine you had braces come on come on and this slutty little man slideshow there I didn't show Michael B. Jordan because I'm keeping it to myself

Starting point is 00:14:43 when west jet first took flight in 1996 the vibes were a bit different people thought denim on denim was peak fashion inline skates were everywhere and two out of three women rocked the rachel while those things stayed in the 90s one thing that hasn't is that fuzzy feeling you get when west jet welcomes you on board here's to west jetting since 96 travel back in time with us and actually travel with us at westjet.com slash 30 years oh i have to prepare for is that we're recording tomorrow no okay i'll be going i couldn't do it over the weekend then i'm going out of town this weekend well you're not just going out of town you're going almost out of the country you're going to sloven it's only two hours away but
Starting point is 00:15:30 you're gonna feel like you're in austria germany i've been transported with 100 are you gonna get wear some lederhosen no megan why not why would i don't know i'm gonna be real with you i actually don't know exactly the specific country that it is and i don't think they do either i think it's generic europe yeah it's at that specific kind of like lederhosen europe is it german is it swiss is it austrian is it the sound of music it does say actually this is your culture oh i should have known there are windmills sylvain is a sun-soaked slice of danish culture no i'm not danish it's dutch oh sorry no that's okay danish is that's the one that's right right or is it the finish soraya's not either one of those no no she hate they hate she always
Starting point is 00:16:27 oh she hates yes yes yes yes i was like what are you talking about sorry swedish that's what i was like i'm trying and uh moroccan moroccan shout out soraya how's camp going what'd you do this weekend it's a great question i went to costco i painted i went to old navy i got a bunch of cute stuff from old i went to get denim shorts because they were having a short sale and i was like i want shorts or like sweat shorts and i've learned that like i guess during the summer months like when i can't do compression socks because it's too hot to have like literally fucking knee socks on i guess having like compression shorts under dresses is really good like torso compression so i was like oh i'll get some of the they had sold out of all of those but i got a bunch of
Starting point is 00:17:15 like cute little shirts um that i'm pretty excited about and then yeah old navy is a little too much for me i can't do it there's just too much going on in the store oh it was empty like the clothing though they have millions of racks and walls of clothing it's too much clothes this one was not that big oh i know what kind you're talking about the kind that literally look like they're in a fucking airport hangar yes yeah no no this is not that is the one we had in marin growing up and like i could not go walked in look like that and you were in i can't do they're so overwhelming no that's deeply overwhelming yeah i couldn't because all of them look like they're like a time square location like they're fucking huge
Starting point is 00:18:00 so no this one was small and i think maybe it's because when we went to go see sinners it was like this random fucking area and there was an old navy there and it was like small it was like the size of like a t-mobile no that's really small it was the size it was well i was just saying it was the size of a gap but gaps can be really big but it was just because there's a most gaps that i've seen is aren't that big like okay so if you say gap okay yeah i'm good i got you yeah and so then i saw that and i think i was like oh my god let's go to gap and so i mean let's go to old navy and we went to a different location and i i probably should have checked to see if it was a fucking airport hangar size location because i don't like those either and it wasn't and it was
Starting point is 00:18:37 like it was totally manageable it was cute like you could get around the store quite quickly quite easily they have a lot of cute workout athletic stuff that i think you'd like make a little like workout running dresses and skirts i don't like a one piece i gotta piss go piss girl you don't want to just like i don't want to have my tits out also my tits are i need another bra on top yeah i don't think there's any like that would be wild a lot of they're like built-in bra and i'm like oh that's me is like for trader joe's and shopping there's a lot of a lot of those suits have built-in bras and i'm like my bras don't match the rest of my body so like it doesn't work well even with running i need more compression yeah with running like most people even if they
Starting point is 00:19:25 don't have like the biggest like you do like two or like you know heavy duty ones and then we worked on painting and we hung the tv back well so everything has two coats of paint and it looks great we like we hung the tv back we did all that uh so you were able to take it off the wall not tape it up yeah it was very fucking easy you know and i was like look at look how simple that was babe he was like yeah you're right i was i was doing too much um but uh because the color is so light that like and it like does exactly what we wanted so like it looks good through all hours of the day that like we have to really like squat and like you know sand our tiptoes and like go to the side and all of that to see if there's any spots that kind of got missed or like missed with
Starting point is 00:20:13 like a second coat nothing was missed with like a first coat so we've been doing like little touch ups like that in some areas and then once we finish that which we can probably do in like honestly 20 minutes we just like haven't taken the time to do all that then it will be done and it looks so freaking cute oh actually no i have to do the bay window because i didn't know if i wanted to yeah and i do yeah okay but that's small and it's not like i don't have to be on a ladder yeah to get it but it's really cute i think you'd like it i don't think i took pictures of it yet though what about you what did you get up to i went to allison's birthday brunch great group of people great location for the restaurant i got two things because i was i
Starting point is 00:20:59 wanted when i wanted both items and i was like i can just eat half of it here and then eat the rest later so i got they had french toast and chicken fried chicken and also eggs benedict right i we love it eggs benedict the chicken had zero seasoning no seasoning at all it was just fried chicken batter uh-huh and no seasoning and it tastes like batter once you have no seasoning it's just batter it's just batter the french toast was just egg eggy toast that i didn't taste a drop of cinnamon a drop of vanilla and it was thick too and then the eggs benedict i asked for crab cake on top of it oh yeah and instead of swapping out the crab cake for ham which was already on it they just put the crab cake on top of it which i didn't notice until after i took my
Starting point is 00:22:09 first bite and i was like this is nasty what is wrong with this flavor that is not a flavor combination no that anybody wants and then once i realized what was going on i took it off but then i also saw the crab was just lumps of crab it was not caked just crab meat yeah so no no level of crunch to the crab okay that's a very wet breakfast yes the only thing that was good and seasoned were the the potatoes and i was like if you mess this shit up then that's a feat that's crazy yeah so like even the place it was like right on like in the marina beachy area so you could like walk out and sit on the beach if you want i was like this is beautiful i wish this food tasted good because i would just come out here and hang out it probably doesn't need to
Starting point is 00:22:57 tastes good because it's right there yeah did anybody else get good food or is everyone kind of like man no one really said anything oh so it wasn't good a lot of plates were not finished allison did they have a prefix like thing that they do for brunch i got everybody else got everybody got stuff alicor but i'll cart um but you could have got this and allison like had initially requested that and she's like i'm vegetarian can you take there's just two items where you she just wanted the like fish or something taken off or like put on the side and they're like we can't do that there's no substitution and i said that means that food's been sitting back there cooked or prepared for hours they can't take it off without messing the
Starting point is 00:23:46 plate up yeah that's crazy and it was like 60 bucks and i said you want people to pay 60 for mess no i'm like a believer that like i think if you are securing prime restaurant real estate by the water and i think this is someone who grew up by the beach like if you are securing that prime real estate you need to make your food so good because i can just go to in california all of our beaches are public i can just go to the fucking beach and bring a sandwich from somewhere else like i know that it's going to cost a premium because you're paying the premium rent and stuff so you need to make it so like i want to eat here and like because it's like the same thing of like movie theaters if they offer like you know those no most people are not eating the the the hot dogs
Starting point is 00:24:39 that have been rotating on their entire day because people are just sneaking. Well, you know, we love a hot dog. But like people are like sneaking their own stuff into theater. So I'm like, if you're going to serve something here that like I don't need and it's going to cost more, you have to make it really, or like airport food. Like you have to make it like actually good
Starting point is 00:24:57 because why am I going to go to sit down at an airport restaurant when I can go like to like McDonald's or I can go to like Coffee Bean or whatever that is. So like I do think it's like a backwards mentality. Like, just open an ice cream shop. Just do that instead. Make an acai bowl. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:28:54 of it so beautiful so love a peach that's kind of the color we painted our living well our living rooms it's like a pinky peach yeah a peachy pink wow okay well now now i gotta do that i almost did i almost like embarked on the same thing with cherries because i don't know so moss is like not that into cherries i was like there's like no fucking point i'm sorry i don't like to like be somebody to talk to bad other but like cherry is just one that i have a visceral reaction to that i've never had a good cherry in my life oh that's very fair i love cherries and i i'm not insecure about my love for cherries you can't you i won't i don't feel bad so but mott's like loves he like he always like loves his cherry pie and i'd never had cherry pie turns out it's like tart
Starting point is 00:29:38 cherry pie so it's like a very different kind of style but it's sprouts you were surprised by this the pie a cherry pie no i've never had cherry pie well because when i think of like cartoons where they would put pie on the window seal it's always a cherry no i'd never seen a one in the in real life i'd only ever seen them two-dimensional and like for me i had never really had like a cherry like baked maybe there's like a a couple of different ones that like but in general like that was like cherries were something you ate like in the summer just from like a carton like it was like not cooked or whatever and uh i don't know who at sprouts their their cherry dealer gave them a crazy good deal unless i cannot stress to you the way that almost everything in sprouts
Starting point is 00:30:24 right now is cherry themed they have cherry themed chips they have cherries they have they have displays no but i was like okay guys what is up with the chair right and then they have like actual just raw cherries on super sale and i'm like who overbought the cherries and then you had to make and a lot of these are like sprouts original brand and it's like i think they have a cherry in a curry and i'm like okay guys what happened like someone added an extra zero for what how many cherries they were ordering or whatever it is and i almost was like maybe i'll get into like making things with cherries and then i like sat on it for a second i was like well i kind of only really like rogers i couldn't think of a thing that like a whole slew of like a slate
Starting point is 00:31:09 that would make it sense make sense for me to buy an entire crate of cherries for essentially three dollars but i was like okay no not so much but if it peaches our neighbors have a peach tree i'm i know i want to do i think that's the next one i want to do hopefully we can have a peach off i love that i oh now i want a good peach maybe oh maybe i'll do some of that for lunch i think we had some that's mott's mott's favorite stone fruit i don't think there's this full yet and my neighbor's not she's she's still working she's she's still working uh she's hasn't left yet for her job so if i go over there she's like what are you doing in my yard and i'm like can i have one you can just text her no she would get one yeah if i think
Starting point is 00:31:55 if they were ripe she'd never told me yeah i do love a stone fruit too i was just avia yesterday was talking about how she was eating a plum and i was like i could go thing about plums is like they have to be good like it's like an apricot it's either great or not and i don't like apricots unless they're dried that's what i'm saying like there's apricots for me when i eat there i think it's crazy that there is a fruit that you can pick right off the tree and when you eat it it tastes dry like that's how i feel that i'm like this is it's the worst mouthfeel of like all like this skin to me it's just it's so i can't stand it and it like again it makes my mouth dry like what is going on so i prefer an apricot the same way i prefer it like just like lean into who
Starting point is 00:32:39 you are which is dry yeah a dried apricot is delectable so much so that i cannot keep it in the house because i will eat them all in one sitting yep and then have a terrible time i was saying yeah and then your tummy's a little high fire fiber hard yeah i we had a i had a plum tree growing up as a kid and that was like one of my favorites also had an apple tree and the one of the things i was like wow this is actually really cool just like the layout of how my like childhood home was and it's definitely not like this anymore um but we it was on a hill and so the first story or whatever is like well above like our like our yard and our grass because like it's built up into the hill and then that's the side that's lower and you walk down into the yard but we had an
Starting point is 00:33:25 orange tree that was like huge and beautiful and then in our dining room the like the wall that like faced out to the yard was essentially just a giant window that you could open and you'd open it and then the branches of the orange tree would just pop in and i could pick from there and it was so magical which like i loved and there was a house that we toured in la that wasn't an orange tree but like they had a wisteria branches that like if you opened the window they would pop in and i was like oh my god this reminds like i love this and i'm just like okay i hear you i think you're thinking of a very romanticized childhood idea of this which our future child would love this i do want you as an adult to think about critters and i was like good point good point
Starting point is 00:34:06 and i was like that makes a lot of sense but allergies too but um yeah i like think about that all the time or like picking apples from the tree but like the app the plum the orange and the apple tree oh and we had a loquat tree which i'm like i don't even know what that is it's like a kumquat hate the name yeah kumquats are good though low quads are like they're worse vibrational yeah i'm pretty sure they're like just like vibrational they're just like they literally put them on a ranking and they said this makes me come this hello i'm like there should be a mid quad because like it's not it's it's not great the low cost but i like i just like was addicted and we had our privacy shrubs at the house too
Starting point is 00:34:54 were blackberry bushes so i would just pick blackberries and then also like random people we did not live there's like no fucking foot traffic we're on top of a massive goddamn hill our neighbors like you know if i screamed in the middle of the night hope they fucking hear me like everybody's like distant like you're far back into each property i would like to sometimes like randomly see as like a kid like someone who like i do not recognize like picking blackberries like from our bush and they're like sorry i thought this public property i'm like there's literally no reason there's no way you thought that like you are on a tiny little road on a hill You must know somebody who told you they were blackberry.
Starting point is 00:35:30 You didn't just drive by. This is not a thru-street. You can go up and then you have to come back down. You can't like, this isn't like a loop or whatever. But I used to make blackberry ice cream too. Blackberry crumble, blackberry pie. So good. They're great privacy shrubs because they grow so fast.
Starting point is 00:35:46 If you want to get rid of them, they're the worst thing in the entire world. Because they're like wild. But so good. Now I want fruit. I'm better with fruit outside. um once he gets in it'll just sit there same with salad with lettuce and things i can't i love being out and ordering a salad there's two big containers i i was like i'm gonna eat salads this week i think i made two this was last week i think i made two and then i was done with them and i have two
Starting point is 00:36:21 large containers of a lettuce i forgot what lettuce it is but and i'm sure that's already soft well they do they are in a airtight container so they're not soft yet but i'm just every time i open the fridge i look at it i'm like i don't want that no the way i literally had this conversation with months yesterday because i was like the best thing we have ever decided to grow is lettuce because the amount of bags of lettuce that i have watched die in our fridge because i'm like i don't really want it or like you open you don't seal it perfectly it's already gross by then like it's or even just like this i think in general the smell of bagged lettuce in a mixed with the fridge smell is like it turns me off completely yeah and like it's just so gross
Starting point is 00:37:06 and you always have either way too little or way too much and then you have like weird leftovers and us growing lettuce i was like this is the greatest thing ever because like it's not going bad because it's just growing in our and it's still growing and we have been i made a a cob salad which i'd never had before that's what that's what i was doing no way yeah that's why i got it except for minus the bacon because i don't like bacon in it but uh you put blue cheese in yours yeah yeah but that's also something i can't keep in the home because i get just scared that it'll spread everywhere after i saw that car what's i was gonna say like isn't it already kind of it is i'm just scared that it will spread yeah you saw that video yes i do think that the issue
Starting point is 00:37:50 is is the the environment of a fridge is not conducive no i mean like i'm sitting eating it on the couch or eating it in bed no that's a very little sprinkle might get somewhere that's a very legitimate fair and valid here and now i kind of think that nobody should have blue cheese in the that's actually really scary but yeah i did it with cheddar instead but eggs and chicken and tomatoes and stuff so yeah hard-boiled some eggs i'm feeling rich just bought the ones that were already hard-boiled even richer yeah it's so fucking rich peeled his first hard-boiled egg because i was doing one he goes can i do one and i was like sure and we started doing it and he goes this is kind of this is kind of hard and i was like yeah
Starting point is 00:38:36 do you want me to do it he was like yeah and then i finished mine and i could do his he goes no i'm having i'm having fun and i was like this is this is exactly what i like that it is fun when you can do it but um and i'd like i've never really like hard boiled eggs before like that was like never a big thing for for uh me because you don't you're not yeah eggs are eggs are really touch and go and i was like i don't know how the fuck to do this and so like i literally googled it and i was like i feel like an idiot and then i did it the first time and then they were not done like they were done but they were not they were not cob salad done you don't i don't want a soft boiled egg yeah and i like put them back in the water and i was like through a time where i'm
Starting point is 00:39:18 being like hope this works and then they were perfect and then i did it again this time and i just kind of like went by vibes also perfect and i was like okay the only other times i've made hard-boiled eggs when i was younger they were so bad and what do you mean now that i'm kind of like no fuck it try it and it they were they worked so well and it reminds me of my old hobby which was tie-dye no ukrainian easter egg blowing what the lord just dropped i never i feel like i've told you about that definitely i've never heard that combination of words before in my life i don't think you'll be the only ones i think a lot of people think this will be like I'm so sorry.
Starting point is 00:39:52 Brand new sentence. Before you get into that, I was going to ask, did you put, before you peeled them, did you put them in water with ice? So we have a very small fridge. It's not, okay. It's not like smeg small, but like. I don't know what it is. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:08 But for the listeners. Yeah. It's a shorter fridge. Mary's definitely way taller. I mean, I'm about the same height as that fridge. Because like there's a cabinet over it. So like it fits in. so our freezer we like went from having like a pullout freezer that's like quite big that has
Starting point is 00:40:26 like multiple layers and all that stuff and we don't have built-in ice in our fridge so we have like ice trays and the way that like you have an ice maker because we because we don't have enough counter space right now we need to when we when we redo our kitchen we have big plans for everything okay and so we have not regularly had ice since we got ac because whatever that makes So I literally just put them in cold water, put it in the fridge, and then after five minutes, dump the water that's now lukewarm, put more water in it, put it back in the fridge for another, like, two minutes. And then it's been fine. But I honestly find it easier to peel hard-boiled eggs when they're warm, not fully cold. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:42:32 is participating in other cultures they're addicted to that so i did a lot of um tradition we did our we had a whole segment of um our middle school music everyone else is learning how to play the recorder us traditional african drums we are learning dances i did katak indian dance we are you have these children in bindis you've got all of this stuff like this stuff is big so instead of just doing like a traditional easter egg hunt our like local little craft store was like who wants to learn how to do ukrainian easter egg blowing are we learning from a ukrainian of course not of course not of course this is the area of cultural appropriation that's what i'm saying this is the this is marin's fucking bread and butter and that one of our most popular stores
Starting point is 00:43:16 in my little small town is called tibetan moon and all of the moms just buy pants with like bells on them and like all of it's very and it's like they're like we're not like the other marin moms we're different we're not shopping at nordstrom i was like no you're just you're you're buying like crystals from a white person who's like literally wearing a bindi and has locks like okay okay so this was like a class that i took and i took like all kinds of art classes it was a big art class kind of person and then if you gave me one themed for a holiday i'd love it even more so what you do is you the blowing part's the funniest part because i i don't know why they let me do that because i couldn't even play the flute because i kept passing out because of the
Starting point is 00:43:58 um i just got dizzy but you it's like a wax and a dye kind of situation and you use like a tiny little like needle level thing to do like the most intricate designs on it and it kind of looks like dental equipment like all of those little pokey thin metal things which i have in my bathroom there you go and you do that with like wax and you have like different colors of wax and then you also have like you you drop it in the dye at different points and you add more wax on which then protects from the dye that you put on and then you do all these kinds of things and then after you've like finished everything you use like a lighter this is very kid-friendly you use like a lighter or a flame and you like melt off the wax and you do this
Starting point is 00:44:49 with the egg not blown so the egg there's a white in there there's a yellow in there but it is a raw egg so the whole you don't want to drop it because like it is it is not hard boil it is not cooked why because you have to blow it you can't blow hard boiled egg we'll catch what the blowing of the egg is oh i have seen that yeah after you've done your whole design something you do in science class after you've done the whole design and everything and you've like cleaned it off and like ultimately at the very end i think you do like one final coat of wax like the entire egg is like a thick coat of wax and it's like almost like a black color because then you put the fire on it so like it burns it all off and it melts off and you wipe it off and it reveals this
Starting point is 00:45:29 beautiful design and then you take this thing that's like you know that thing that like parents use for like kids who have like gas or whatever and you like blow it you like what or boogers one of those things so it's like a very tiny bulb yeah a really tiny little uh tube thing or like a metal thing that pokes into the bottom of the egg and you do another hole on the other side so the top and the bottom one pokes in the straw essentially and then the other just has a tiny little hole out and then with all of your might for however long it fucking takes you will and And then the goo of the egg shoots out and then you like rattle it. So you just have the shell.
Starting point is 00:46:10 Yes. But you can't like do all the design work with the shell because it's way too fragile. And then you put it in like an egg cup that you would like eat out of like a fancy place and then you just buy it. And so these are what they look like. Once you got into the story, I knew exactly what you were talking about. And I mean, these are, oh, someone put a cross on it. i was gonna say maybe these are more the style that we did but you could do like lots of very cool oh someone did an ornament of it that's smart but i loved it i used to sometimes i would
Starting point is 00:46:47 even do it at home by myself after the class was done i was like let me get back into that like that was kind of a fun time and it was easier than like the mosaic class i took which i loved that mosaic class but like where the fuck am i getting all of the materials from am i just gonna go and break plates and then steal some of that and like make the what is it cement or the mortar whatever you call it that you use to do mosaic don't know it's a good time i loved it thank you for sharing you are welcome and turns out i also think that you don't have to blow it with your mouth i think there are tools well you were probably doing it the original way or we were they just figured out the tools and they didn't really necessarily know how to use them
Starting point is 00:47:30 which is checking out so maybe that's what i'll do for easter when's easter it's already passed so next year okay that's fair that's fine um the show i've been working on is out oh it is yes but the episodes that i wrote aren't out yet but they should be dropping next week send a link i will and i'm also working with them to get our listeners a code so they can listen oh that'd be lovely what's it called it's called i'm so excited because i and this is why i asked this is why i every time by the way every time we see an ad for this kind of stuff on tiktok is that melissa's let me show you the artwork but it's called chosen by fate rejected by the alpha of course i can't wait okay uh-huh we kind of have a similar hairline
Starting point is 00:48:33 i love that for him it's really good though hell yeah what are their names trinity and reese i feel like those stories they love a reese they love a noah too but luckily no right no no it was my nephew's name luckily he is not the alpha in the story so we don't get a lot he is the he is the alpha's assistant well he becomes beta so i don't want to spoil it oh okay sorry i was making a joke i didn't realize there was an actual thing yes um he is his assistant and trinity's cousin when i started writing i was like please don't let this be the alpha but you know my sister melanie loves these type of stories and she was like the last one i read the alpha's name was noah and i just had to when he got to the sex scenes i just had to skip yeah because that was
Starting point is 00:49:28 her son's name yeah that i never yeah that's hard it's like the exact opposite of like an insert your name here fanfic where you're like oh yeah i put my own name in this like harry potter is like in love with me like it's all about me no you you don't want it the other way around right that's funny well i can't wait to uh to read it mons without maybe mons will do it's an immersive audio experience maybe you read it you listen to it i can't wait to listen i was gonna say maybe mons can incorporate it into his book club yeah maybe he has a book club him and one other person it is our neighbor who is a teacher and they meet once a week every weekend that's cute in his garden and he makes like homemade iced tea and i was like i'm obsessed with that and
Starting point is 00:50:16 he had brought it up to me at like a memorial day was that the recent one memorial day like weekend uh barbecue at another one of our neighbor's houses and he was like i have a meaning to ask him odds but like i want to see like you think he'd be interested in like like possibly having a book club because they like share books all the time and i was like he would love that because he wants me to do he's literally like been like i'll i'll read whatever you want to read if you want to do a book club and i'm like and i was like he would love that and now they meet every week for an hour they talk about everything they they they pick really old books like i think they just did crime and punishment okay and i was like okay i'm sure
Starting point is 00:50:56 mons is loving it because when i was like okay i'll do it a little cardigan with patch elbows this is our neighbor no mons to the book club mons does have one of those cardigans somewhere i i just feel like you have to go dress for the occasion i love dressing for the occasion our neighbor would love that like he would really appreciate if he if he took this as like a as a moment um it's a little too hot for that but i'm sure once it gets to be colder out and i'm sure then they'll have they won't have homemade iced tea they'll have homemade like hot tea yeah and i need to make like i was like i need to make cookies or something but i was like i like love this they're besties i love that too i used to be in a book club with who katherine
Starting point is 00:51:40 oh and she lived here and alex and then some of their nerdy they worked in education so some of their nerdy friends that's what i told mom i was like do you ever feel like you're in school yeah we would meet at like little cafes that were in the like ones that are surrounded by trees and stuff that i had never seen or it was cute but then we started the book started getting a little dark and we all like we it was like two in a row where we hadn't picked them and we were like i think we're done with this and i was like yeah or we need to kick some of the other people out yeah oh matzah's dad had they had to do that with someone in their book club who like picked either picked like a either he was like making it came out that he was conservative and had not been
