Samantha [00:00:04]:

Are you ready for an hour of relatable topics, laughter, and buckets of sarcasm? Yeah. You are. Put on your judgment pants and weigh in on stranded astronauts, menopausal wordle, adult dodgeball, and so much more.

Lisa [00:00:18]:
Hello, friends of the podcast.

Samantha [00:00:21]:
Hello, everybody.

Lisa [00:00:23]:
Hello, Samantha. Lisa, Lisa, Lisa. Oh my god. Don't look at me. Don't do this. Don't don't don't don't you dare smile. Don't you dare don't you dare smile.

Samantha [00:00:34]:
Oh my god. I got smiles. Okay. Because today is Tuesday, but, technically, it's Monday, and Monday Tuesday jammed together into one day. Oh, it's a tough day.

Lisa [00:00:47]:
Yeah. Well, hi. Try being where I live, and it's also first day of school. Back to school. Right. Back to school. Back to school.

Samantha [00:00:58]:
All the

Lisa [00:00:58]:
little kids walking and riding their bikes, except for they're not little because they're adults wanting to become our next medical dream team, people. Right? So it's their 1st day of school too.

Samantha [00:01:12]:
Oh, that's right. At the hospital. I was thinking your neighborhood if I'm being honest.

Lisa [00:01:17]:
Well, and they're there too. And they're there too. Kids of all it's like being at the circus. Children of all different ages. I'm surrounded by myself around Lisa Gibson because that's what she really wanted today.

Samantha [00:01:29]:
So today you were inundated with medical students who didn't know what they were doing.

Lisa [00:01:35]:
Yes. Right? And there's a lot of lot of lot of issues with university classes.

Samantha [00:01:44]:
Uh-oh. I know when

Lisa [00:01:46]:
when I went to university, we signed up for class. We went to class. Not now. They sign up for class. Everything's gotta change. Yep. I'm, like, yeah? Okay. Alright.

Lisa [00:01:59]:
Everything's gotta change. Just practice with me some deep breaths from the toes, and then let it out. Let it in. Let it up. Let it out.

Samantha [00:02:14]:
Oh, the the woes of being a student regardless of age.

Lisa [00:02:19]:
But think if it stresses us out and we're not there, mention them. You gotta think of that. Oh, that is

Samantha [00:02:25]:
so true.

Lisa [00:02:26]:
Samantha, lesson for the day. You gotta think like other people. Oh, my gosh. That's very deep of you. That's pretty deep,

Samantha [00:02:33]:
That's bad.

Lisa [00:02:34]:
I just stumbled upon that at my saw by myself as I was walking down the hall thinking, oh, the pretty girls. Woah. We need to think like other pretty girls.

Samantha [00:02:46]:
We need we do. We need to think like other people.

Lisa [00:02:49]:
We need to like other people. Figure out. Right? Just because if you had a bad day, maybe they did too. Well, I don't know what else goes along with that, but maybe you do. I don't know. I'm just saying. Right? Just because I'm having a bad day. Somebody else has a way worse.

Lisa [00:03:08]:
Right.

Samantha [00:03:08]:
And you know what? I think if you're still alive and breathing, your day's okay.

Lisa [00:03:13]:
To quote a great band from our Gen X days, Simple Minds, alive and kicking. Yeah. Exactly. I feel like I'm gonna try and insert a a a lyric everywhere today. Right? If the opportunity presents, there's gonna be singing for

Samantha [00:03:30]:
you right now.

Samantha [00:03:31]:
You know what? Right now. You know what song I keep hearing? And I'm like and I I feel this is my goal. This is my goal for the year. K.

Lisa [00:03:41]:
I'm gonna try and learn every word from the song, shoop. Like, shoop, shoop, a, doop, doop, doop, doop, doop, doop. Yes. From Salvep. Here I go. Here I go. Here I go. Here I go.

Samantha [00:03:54]:
I don't know all the words Alright. Word for word. And I wanna be that girl that knows that I'm gonna set a goal. I'm gonna set a goal.

Lisa [00:04:03]:
So so when you're at the club and they bring it on, you're gonna be like, whoop. Shoop. Shoop.

Samantha [00:04:10]:
Shoop. Right? You know what? That's what we need. We need a dedicated space for Gen Xers to go listen to all the music they

Lisa [00:04:18]:
grew up with. Right.

Samantha [00:04:19]:
And to not feel any shame. Right?

Lisa [00:04:21]:
That's me at the Hudson's. Right? That's me at the Hudson's.

Samantha [00:04:24]:
But, unfortunately, the young people stare at us and they make fun of us.

Lisa [00:04:29]:
They do. They do. I'd rather them make fun of me that way than, like like, start calling us cougars or something.

Samantha [00:04:34]:
My god. Well, they might do that too. That's right. Because I got

Lisa [00:04:37]:
no I got no I got no time for that shit in my life. K. But guess what? You saw it. You saw. I hello, fall, new fall, new Lisa. I dusted off my apron on Sunday, got out the flour, and I started baking again, Samantha.

Samantha [00:04:56]:
Yes. You, you made from you made from not scratch.

Lisa [00:04:59]:
From from but kind of scratch. Now that I feel I might have been a little hasty because it may have actually been there's some scratch. Right? Like like like the eggs, that scratch?

Samantha [00:05:09]:
The bananas are scratch.

Lisa [00:05:10]:
Bananas are scratch. The quarter cup of oil, scratch. And, the half a cup of water, scratch. Right? Yeah. I'm The other thing I was gonna scratch in there.

Samantha [00:05:21]:
Yeah. I'm gonna say that my mom was, like, only slightly annoyed by your post.

Lisa [00:05:26]:
I felt I totally offended her. And then I'm like, come on, Sheila. Pull up. Put your big girl panties on. You know that you are the queen of baking. So your mom should know that when I say screw scratch, I don't mean anything coming from her. No. Because technically, she's the only one who does the scratch.

Lisa [00:05:44]:
She's the only one that does scratch. She's exempt. Right? But she's But now She's sensitive. She's getting older. She's got it. She's got sensitive feelings.

Samantha [00:05:53]:
Uh-huh. But we need we need to let people know. Guys, if you haven't seen it yet, it's a Facebook post and Yeah. Where Lisa is in video showing her baking skills.

Lisa [00:06:04]:
Because everybody calls into question, when do you bake? You don't bake? You still baking? You used to win all these contests.

Samantha [00:06:11]:
Yeah. Yeah.

Lisa [00:06:12]:
So that was my first dabble back right? Because now the fall, it does become baking season and contest season. Right?

Samantha [00:06:20]:
Yes. It's reset. It's a it's a reset motion.

Lisa [00:06:22]:
It's a reset. Right? So I reset myself and, I'm ready. I'm ready. I'll be like cooking up a storm. Tooks and mittens cooked baked baked baked baked baked baked. That's what I'm gonna be doing. Lots of baking.

Samantha [00:06:38]:
Tooks and mittens baked? Baked.

Lisa [00:06:40]:

Samantha [00:06:42]:
Oh, like, could you please clarify what you're saying? Because I thought you just had to rest it for a second. Baked, baked, baked. I'm just

Lisa [00:06:51]:
I'm so sorry. I'm excited. I'm excited. Okay. Gather your thought. Right? Get your get your shit together. My shit's together.

Samantha [00:07:00]:

Lisa [00:07:04]:
My bake, bake, bake, bake, bake baking. Apparently. You wanna do, hi, miss shoop shoop a doop shoop bit. K.

Samantha [00:07:12]:
So you're gonna bake and I'm gonna learn a song. Right. And I would really like to learn an M and M song, but I just haven't chosen which one yet.

Lisa [00:07:20]:
Oh, hi. Well, me and the HHE can help you with that.

Samantha [00:07:23]:
Uh-huh. Right?

Lisa [00:07:23]:
Because nobody knows M and M better than me. Right? At least the key phrases of all the bad parts.

Samantha [00:07:30]:
Yes. The but I wanna know it all. Like, I wanna do it all.

Lisa [00:07:33]:
It's fast. It's really fast. I know. That's the problem. See what happens.

Samantha [00:07:37]:
It might keep me sharp though. Hey?

Lisa [00:07:39]:
Well, something needs to. Well, it ain't you. So You're about to turn 56 in a few weeks. Right?

Samantha [00:07:46]:
Oh my god. Oh my god. I got told I don't look 55.

Lisa [00:07:50]:
Who told you that? My doctor today. Oh, Jesus. She's like Gotta say that shit.

Samantha [00:07:55]:
She's like, oh my god. Really? I'm like, yeah.

Lisa [00:08:00]:
So she meant you don't look 55, but she might have been like, you look 65.

Samantha [00:08:04]:
No. She didn't say that. Interesting. Don't be rude.

Lisa [00:08:08]:
Don't be rude.

Samantha [00:08:09]:
I'm not being rude. I'm taking the compliment where

Lisa [00:08:11]:
I can. Well, I mean, right? If you don't get many, you might as well.

Samantha [00:08:17]:
And she's slinging the arrow, folks.

Lisa [00:08:20]:
Slinging the arrows. I peeled back the Band Aid and I let it go.

Samantha [00:08:25]:
Shots have been shots have been fired.

Lisa [00:08:28]:
Shot through the heart. That didn't that's didn't make sense.

Samantha [00:08:33]:
That didn't go over well.

Lisa [00:08:34]:
Yeah. And just like that, now the game's over. Now it's over. It's done because I wrecked it. Right? I wrecked it.

Samantha [00:08:39]:
Just like you wrecked judging in the car.

Lisa [00:08:42]:
I didn't wreck judging in the car. I invented I invented judging.

Samantha [00:08:46]:
Yeah. But you were just making it so awkward because you stared right at them.

Lisa [00:08:50]:
Well, that's gonna happen when you're judging someone in their car. I'm totally judging them in their car.

Samantha [00:08:57]:
Judged them as they got in the cars. We judged them as they got out of the cars.

Lisa [00:09:01]:
As they're just sitting in the car. And we judged all aspects of them from head to

Samantha [00:09:06]:
toe judging. I don't know what it was with us on Monday, but we were in a very judgy mood.

Lisa [00:09:11]:
Totally. Right? We were just like, oh, look at her with her with her. What was that? I don't even remember. It was like her fake blonde pony. Right? We thought

Samantha [00:09:19]:
she had a a fake hat with a you know how you can get hats with a fake pony on it? Right.

Lisa [00:09:24]:
She had a fake blonde pony done up, and she was, like, definitely driving her mom's Lexus. Oh, yeah. Right? Remember? And then there's one that was glittering in front of us.

Samantha [00:09:33]:
That was bad. That was bad.

Lisa [00:09:34]:
I don't I'm like, I wanna do something about this. And you're like, no.

Samantha [00:09:39]:
You know, I friends of the podcast, I'm sure that you have these days as well. Right? Right? Where you just sit in judgment. You're just there. You're in the pocket. You're it's happening. You can't help it.

Lisa [00:09:52]:
I don't know. Something happened. I put on my Jean Capri, and it became a judgment capri. It became all about judging.

Samantha [00:09:58]:
I felt it might have been the Converse shoe that you had on. You can always get a little saucy when you're when you wear your Converse.

Lisa [00:10:04]:
Right? Because I'm sporty. Hey. Because I feel like I'm kind of, like I feel like I'm in a I feel like I'm elevated somehow. Right? Look at me. I'm in a con. Right? And, yeah, I get you can buy them for 49.99. But you aren't in them, so you must not be buying them.

Samantha [00:10:19]:
Yeah. Uh-uh. You know, but I do I shake my head at the fact that, you know, you are sitting there judging people because, no offense, but you do think that everyone should be like you, and that's and I feel like you judge accordingly. It's like, I know who I am, and if you are not like me, I judge you accordingly, and it's always not very nice.

Lisa [00:10:42]:
That's the whole thing. That's the beauty of judging. It's not a positive spin.

Samantha [00:10:46]:
I shook my head at

Samantha [00:10:47]:
that because you can't expect people to be the same person as you.

Lisa [00:10:51]:
Okay. Really? I'm surprised you haven't been struck dead by lightning right now. I get it's easy to pick on me, so go ahead. Pick pick pick away. No. Not Tourette's. Just be still talking. But I feel that you are very judgmental too with, all things.

Lisa [00:11:12]:
Really? Just because you say hi to somebody when you when you don't need to doesn't make you less judgmental. No. It does not. Right? So I think what equally?

Samantha [00:11:20]:
I just choose when to be a good person.

Lisa [00:11:25]:
I don't know. I try. Every day I set out to be a good person.

Samantha [00:11:28]:
Yes. And sometimes you do well and sometimes you do not.

Lisa [00:11:31]:
But okay. But let's be honest. Friends of the podcast, is judging, like, in private really that horrific? Who's hurt by it? Nobody. It's almost you keep your words to yourself. Right? Just keep my mother used to say, they can't kill you for what you think, but they can kill you for what you say.

Samantha [00:11:47]:
Yes. And then on occasion, on occasion, Lisa, you verbalize it.

Lisa [00:11:54]:
Well, sometimes I it accidentally slips out.

Samantha [00:11:57]:
And I'm looking at you and I'm like,

Samantha [00:12:01]:
say another word.

Lisa [00:12:02]:
Right? Gotta I gotta remember there's boundaries. Gotta remember boundaries.

Samantha [00:12:06]:
It's like being in the bathroom at the concert, and then you looked at me and I looked down and you looked down. I'm like,

Lisa [00:12:13]:
don't say a word. Don't say a word. Sometimes you gotta just keep your mouth shut, Lisa. Right? That big old mouth gets you into some hot water sometimes.

Samantha [00:12:22]:
If it's too close proximity, nothing good would have happened from that.

Lisa [00:12:26]:
Right. Right. That's that's that's the kicker right there, Samantha.

Samantha [00:12:30]:
Okay. But speaking of kickers yes. Okay. So, guys, I don't know if you know this, but Lisa and I have joined the Boomer Bunker fantasy football league.

Lisa [00:12:42]:
Hang on. We have to be as classy as what they were when they talked about it. Because I listened to the ending of their podcast to hear how they talked about it. Oh, okay. John Domingo, very classy. Very classy. Very demure.

Samantha [00:12:58]:
Tell me.

Lisa [00:13:00]:
They were. Him and the duchess, very classy, very demure. Exactly. So I'm just saying.

Samantha [00:13:06]:
We I was so surprised. I we it started, and I was like and it was off to the races. And I'm like, what? And all of a sudden it was like, bang. And I'm like, okay, draft. You know? And it's 22 rounds of that. And then I had

Lisa [00:13:21]:
It goes a lot. It's a lot.

Samantha [00:13:22]:
Yeah. But by the middle, I was like, okay. I I know who I want. I think I figured it out. Right. And I got Travis Kelce.

Lisa [00:13:31]:
What? What? Nobody else wanted them friends on the podcast. No. No. It's not that good.

Samantha [00:13:36]:
After the draft, somebody wanted me to give them up and I'm like, I'm not trading. Sorry. Go away. He's he's

Lisa [00:13:41]:
kind of done now. Maybe.

Samantha [00:13:43]:
But I'm gonna give him

Lisa [00:13:44]:
a shot anyway. Well and that's that's the beauty of the game. So here's how it played out. Right? So we all we all pick our teams and then they give you a report card. Yes. I wish my mom was alive to see how good I did But I never ever got I never ever got to take home an a an a report card with an a on it before. Yes. It

Samantha [00:14:03]:
used to

Samantha [00:14:04]:
be so proud.

Lisa [00:14:05]:
I I was a solid c student and proud of it. Hey. Proud of it. I don't need no c plus here. And I

Samantha [00:14:12]:
got an a. Yes. You got an a, and I got a b. Yeah. And that's pretty good for the fake fan because she did not know what she was doing.

Lisa [00:14:20]:
Right. So imagine if this all came down to me and you in the final.

Samantha [00:14:26]:
Right? Right? Oh my god. That'll be hilarious.

Lisa [00:14:29]:
John got a d, but with but you know what that means? This is I dear John, I grew up getting lots of d's. You know what that means? Lots of only only up. Only up.

Samantha [00:14:40]:
Okay. But he also told me he chose players that didn't rank very high because he felt that they were gonna have a good season. That means he actually watches football.

Lisa [00:14:49]:
So so if his theory works, we're in trouble. Yes. If it doesn't work, he may have earned the d. We'll see. We'll see. But it how it's safe.

Samantha [00:14:58]:
It'd be fun. You know what you know what it was, though? When I told him what I got, he was so proud of me.

Lisa [00:15:04]:
I know. Right? He was so proud that I got a beat. That's my girl. That's

Samantha [00:15:08]:
my girl.

Samantha [00:15:09]:
And I did it all

Lisa [00:15:10]:
by myself. Nobody helped me. No. No. Because I plan on winning, so I'm not helping you.

Samantha [00:15:15]:
I know. I did a couple practice drafts a couple hours before we actually did the draft, and that really kind of helped me figure out what was going on.

Lisa [00:15:22]:
Where your head was gonna be at? Mhmm. Yeah. It was a good time. It was a really, really good time. So friends of

Samantha [00:15:28]:
the so friends of the podcast, watch out. Watch out. We'll post that

Lisa [00:15:32]:
we'll post our report cards.

Samantha [00:15:34]:
You know what? You know what the irony is? I don't have a sports channel.

Lisa [00:15:39]:
I feel the girl better get one.

Samantha [00:15:42]:
I don't have a sports channel. I'm like, you know, that's kinda funny.

Lisa [00:15:45]:
But you know what? No. The real irony in all of this is that maybe John doesn't know this about you totally is we've totally just unleashed the beast. Right? We have created a monster, and we've unleashed the beast. Oh, that's not nice. It's true. Right? Because you're competitive, and you're gonna learn, and you're gonna be all over this shit. All over this shit.

Samantha [00:16:09]:
I got competitive during the draft. So I because I figured it out.

Lisa [00:16:13]:
Right? At lunch, you already made a trade or you already you already made a substitution.

Samantha [00:16:18]:
Yes. And he saw that, and I said, well, I did it because the I, for some reason, had a 3rd quarterback, and I didn't want him. So I just traded him for a tight end or a running back that had points. Yeah. He's had no Oh. And I'm like, yeah.

Lisa [00:16:31]:
Mark my words, friends, to the podcast, unleashed the beast.

Samantha [00:16:35]:
There you go. You should you should watch me bowl.

Lisa [00:16:41]:
I actually don't like doing anything with you that's competitive because you make it not fun. Like, you're not gonna ruin my game.

Samantha [00:16:47]:
Because I talk smack. That's why.

Lisa [00:16:49]:
Yeah. That's fine. Right? Bring it. Bring it. Okay. What did I do? What what did this nice friend do to you for you on Friday?

Samantha [00:16:57]:
Oh, you were nice for, like, 5 minutes.

Lisa [00:16:59]:
And it wasn't intentional. It was not.

Samantha [00:17:01]:
No. It was not. I was you know what it was? I think you were

Lisa [00:17:04]:
so appalled. I was embarrassed and appalled.

Samantha [00:17:07]:
You were so appalled.

Lisa [00:17:09]:
I was just so Friends of the Podcast, you know Samantha. Right? And if this is your first time listening, let me just give you a quick little background. She's all hoity toity. She all that. I'm not. She carries a good purse. She likes to look good. Right? Which is perfectly fine.

Lisa [00:17:24]:
Right? All these things. She is that girl. She whips out her worn, torn, black thing with a zipper.

Samantha [00:17:35]:
Yeah. Because it was holding my cards.

Lisa [00:17:38]:
So that's we'll we'll call it a we'll call it a wallet for argument's sake. The leather on it has peeled off. It's peeled off. Yeah. Yeah. I look at it. Just that day, I had bought myself this cute little cardholder that kinda like a slash. Right? Really cute.

Lisa [00:17:56]:
She whips her the ugly thing out. I go into my purse with my thing that I haven't even used yet. I'm such a good friend and I'm like, I need you to have this. I need you to stop with this and have this. But now

Samantha [00:18:12]:
you've gifted, like, almost everybody you know this wallet.

Lisa [00:18:16]:
I bought the same wallet two times. I bought it one time when I went on my trip to Ontario Yep. And my niece loved it. Okay. And then I bought it a second time and you got it. And I got it. I have not bought myself one yet. Right? I'm not using a bad wallet.

Samantha [00:18:33]:
You should. They're really nice. Thank you. Thank you.

Lisa [00:18:36]:
They seem they seem to do the job well.

Samantha [00:18:38]:
They do. It holds all my cards.

Lisa [00:18:40]:
Perfect. Perfect. Delayedful. That's funny. That's glad I could be helpful.

Samantha [00:18:46]:
Yeah. But, you know, as we are going into a short week, because we are because of the stats that we had, I realized that I need to start a new movement.

Lisa [00:18:56]:
What's the movement? It's to start a 4 day work week. Okay. You can't. I need provincial laws to change. They're not going to change for you.

Samantha [00:19:04]:
I'm really feeling.

Lisa [00:19:05]:
They're not going to. Right? They're just not going to.

Samantha [00:19:07]:
Do you do you wanna know know my do you wanna know my reason why?

Lisa [00:19:11]:
Well, I don't know. I got a text from you halfway through Friday, and I feel I know your reasons.

Samantha [00:19:15]:
I'm like, I'm done. Okay. Because by Friday, I'm done. My brain is fried. Everything's fried. Right. I'm I'm I'm going on fumes. My brain hurts.

Samantha [00:19:26]:
I'm tired. Right?

Lisa [00:19:28]:
So as you get older, what you're essentially saying, Samantha, is I only have 32 hours I only have 32 hours to devote.

Samantha [00:19:34]:
32 hours to I used

Lisa [00:19:36]:
to have between 37 and 40. Now 32. I'm lucky if

Samantha [00:19:40]:
I have 32 and a half.

Lisa [00:19:41]:
Right? If you get me at 33, we're in trouble. We're in hot water.

Samantha [00:19:46]:
Right? Oh, it's so funny though.

Samantha [00:19:48]:
I'm really I feel like I need to start a movement. Who's with me? Friends of the podcast. Who's with me? I'm not. Come on.

Lisa [00:19:54]:
I'm not gonna be with you because I think that nobody's gonna do it. We're gonna start a petition. We're gonna start a petition. I'm not starting a petition. I'm okay. I'm a worker. I will I will be 6.

Samantha [00:20:04]:
Because you're annoying. That's the problem.

Lisa [00:20:06]:
I will pick up your extra day.

Samantha [00:20:08]:
You know what it is, Lisa? You're part of the problem because I'm a worker. Have a

Lisa [00:20:14]:
5 day work week. Right? I say make it 6.

Samantha [00:20:18]:
Other problem. Let's make it 6. No. I worked 6 when I was going to university. Yeah. It was a summer gig out in the Rocky. Let's just work. I worked 6 days a week and it sucked.

Lisa [00:20:30]:
If I was running for for for prime minister right now, my motto would be let's just work.

Samantha [00:20:38]:
I never I love your I love my work. I will never vote for you.

Lisa [00:20:42]:
I love my work.

Samantha [00:20:43]:
Right? We

Lisa [00:20:44]:
I had to do something today at work. Off topic but

Samantha [00:20:47]:
I had

Lisa [00:20:48]:
to do something today at work And I had to set it, an end date. And I set it for the date, whatever the year is, when I turn 80. And I said to my boss, I said, alright. I've said it till I turn 80. After that, they're on their own.

Samantha [00:21:08]:
Okay.

Lisa [00:21:09]:
I don't mind working.

Samantha [00:21:10]:
No. I know. Get over it though.

Lisa [00:21:12]:
I'm gonna get over it. Right? You know what though? I'm having issues. I don't know if it's a little bit of brain fog, or if I'm just overwhelmed by, like, you and, like, some of the weirdness lately. Right? Look, I don't know. Like, after 23 years of friendship, Samantha, we have new and very obvious differences. Please explain. I don't remember what they are. I just know there's a lot of them lately.

Samantha [00:21:43]:
That's even better. Right? Is it the fact that I am not putting up with your bullshit anymore?

Lisa [00:21:51]:
No. I think you still are. I think you know what? It was No. I'm not. Because I think that it's partly because you used to be more caring, and now you pulled the rug out from the Karen.

Samantha [00:22:02]:
Is this because I didn't I didn't have Or

Lisa [00:22:04]:
the juice box. A juice box.

Samantha [00:22:06]:
Box and a mint.

Lisa [00:22:07]:
I thought that that would have been nice. Right? I just think that you could travel with a juice box.

Samantha [00:22:11]:
I am not your caregiver. I told you this yesterday. I'm not your caregiver. I occasionally use bring mints with me, but they aren't solely for you. Well, that's good because this was

Lisa [00:22:25]:
the bad mint that you gave me.

Samantha [00:22:27]:
I'm never carrying a juice box,

Lisa [00:22:29]:
but maybe just in the glove box. Just in the glove box.

Samantha [00:22:31]:
No. No. I don't know.

Lisa [00:22:33]:
I'm just saying. No. I just find things

Samantha [00:22:35]:
Is it because I keep telling you to calm your tits? Hate that phrase.

Lisa [00:22:40]:
I hate that phrase

Samantha [00:22:41]:
so much. I've developed I've developed a bad habit of using things she hates a lot.

Lisa [00:22:46]:
Right? And it just seems to rear its ugly head everywhere we go, Lily.

Samantha [00:22:50]:
Anytime you freak out, I tell you to calm your tits.

Lisa [00:22:53]:
Right? And it's vulgar and rude. Right?

Samantha [00:22:57]:
It's the same as telling you to calm down. I'm just using a different word.

Lisa [00:23:00]:
Well, guess what? I feel that my tits are usually calm. No. They're not.

Samantha [00:23:05]:
They seem to mouth is flapping.

Lisa [00:23:08]:
I can't with you.

Samantha [00:23:09]:
I count with you.

Samantha [00:23:10]:
I count with you. So I can't wait until your brain figures out exactly what you feel are the new and obvious differences between us.

Lisa [00:23:19]:
It's it's a hook. Stay tuned, friends of the podcast.

Samantha [00:23:25]:
Oh my god. This is what we have to look forward to. We remembered something, but we don't remember it.

Lisa [00:23:29]:
Right? I jotted it down. I knew enough to jot it down. And then when I read it, as I email as I messaged Sam last night, I'm like, do you remember what this was? You're like, no. You wrote it down.

Samantha [00:23:40]:
I know. I know. I'm like, and it's a menopausal moment. Yay. Menopausal moment.

Lisa [00:23:47]:
Chuck it up as menopause. Even though I feel I'm through menopause, could not apparently not quite. I still have a little bit of the fog. There's still a little bit of residual effect.

Samantha [00:23:55]:
I think there might be some big residual effects. Oh my god. Oops. Yes. But, apparently, if you were to Alisa, it helps you with your menopausal brain. I could see that. Right? So, apparently, women in menopause are telling other women to work on Wordle because it helps with your brain fog.

Lisa [00:24:16]:
Time to get wordling. Yeah. So I Wordle yesterday. Did you Wordle? You Wordle, that's

Samantha [00:24:21]:
what I said.

Samantha [00:24:21]:
I didn't get the word, and the word was camel. I'm like, I'm fucked. I'm like, I am so fucked.

Lisa [00:24:28]:
I feel camel's a tricky one, though. Right?

Samantha [00:24:32]:
I got blame, lame. I got all the kinds of different things.

Lisa [00:24:36]:
Okay. I'm gonna start whirthing. Get the work okay. I'm gonna start whirthing, and I'm gonna beat you every day. Can we send our can we send our results?

Samantha [00:24:44]:
Oh, god. No. Because why does this need to now become a competition? Because that's

Lisa [00:24:48]:
what our friendship is based on. Our friendship is based the heart of our friendship, Samantha, the the the milk the the the meat and potatoes of our friendship is based on who's better.

Samantha [00:25:00]:
I don't need to know who's better because I know I'm better. At Wordle? At everything.

Lisa [00:25:05]:
At Wordle? At everything. Sounds like a challenge.

Samantha [00:25:11]:
Yay. Oh my god. Oh, god. Like, does anybody else, friends of the podcast, you you like, I don't know. Is our audience menopausal? Some women might be. Do you guys whirdling?

Lisa [00:25:23]:
I think who's it? Is it Brenda? Is it Brenda, I think, whirdles? Brenda's a whirdler, I believe. Andrea Wordles occasionally. My boss boss, she's Wordling. Oh, Janet. I feel I feel Wordle is back.

Samantha [00:25:35]:
Alright. Alright.

Lisa [00:25:35]:
It's Wordle. It's Wordle. K. Mansion. K. Again, this would be my other running platform. If I'm running for any political party, be it American or Canadian, British,

Samantha [00:25:49]:
I don't wanna run for

Lisa [00:25:50]:
any other ones other than those ones. Okay. Imagine, Samantha, if we could solve all of our adult problems with a game of dodgeball. Ready? Shitty steak at supper, dodgeball in the parking lot. Attitude from the grocery store guy who doesn't wanna bag my groceries, dodgeball game in a parking lot. Road rage at horrible drivers, dodgeball game in the parking lot. Right? It's like it's semi violent, but nobody's gonna die. Nobody dies from that.

Lisa [00:26:17]:
Nobody's dying from dodgeball. Nope. What? The loser is just gonna go home with some big ass red well.

Samantha [00:26:22]:
What? That's all.

Lisa [00:26:24]:
Right? And think

Samantha [00:26:26]:
Oh my god.

Lisa [00:26:26]:
We're gonna solve, like, just get all of our aggression out with just dodgeball.

Samantha [00:26:31]:
You know what? Dodgeball It has its uses?

Lisa [00:26:34]:
Has its uses. Right? It was great in public school. Right? The kids you hated? Thwack. Thwack. Right? What's that meme? Everybody remembers that sound. Thwack. Thwack. Right?

Samantha [00:26:48]:
Okay. So what about Red Rover? Red Rover. Red Rover. Oh, I'm good. Send Lisa on over.

Lisa [00:26:56]:
Yeah. Good luck taking me down.

Samantha [00:26:58]:
Do you remember you could use Red Rover in the same way because if you didn't like that person, you just hung them on the clothesline.

Lisa [00:27:05]:
Right? You just clothesline them like WWE style. Hey. Like, I got get through this, bitches.

Samantha [00:27:14]:
Our guests were quite violent

Lisa [00:27:16]:
as well. They were really violent, actually. Right?

Samantha [00:27:18]:
Oh my god. Totally. Oh my god. Okay. Do you remember playing tetherball? Yeah. Yep. Tetherball's brutal. Well, it hits you in

Lisa [00:27:26]:
the face. Oh, because that ball's hard. It is so hard. I never understood why people had that game. Not fun. I used

Samantha [00:27:34]:
to play it all the time. Really?

Lisa [00:27:36]:
No. Mhmm. I was not a fan. I was not a fan. I was not a fan.

Samantha [00:27:40]:
Because you could hit it. Right?

Lisa [00:27:42]:
Oh, yeah. You know? Uh-huh. Again, a little bit of violence. A little bit of fun. Hey, Samantha. Let's take a quick break.

Samantha [00:27:49]:
Sounds good. So, Lisa, do you feel, at our age, that we own who we are?

Lisa [00:27:59]:
Do I know who I am? Like, how do I even know that?

Samantha [00:28:03]:
That's a really great question for you because, sometimes, I don't think you remember who you are.

Lisa [00:28:08]:
Like, I know don't get me wrong. I know lots about me. Like, I know lots about me for sure. No. Sometimes I think you don't.

Samantha [00:28:19]:
And then I'm always surprised.

Lisa [00:28:20]:
How did you get to this age? Well, there's always your own. There's always that question. Always rears its ugly head.

Samantha [00:28:30]:
Sometimes I just don't know. But I think knowing who you are means you know how you're how you're gonna act with people. I feel

Lisa [00:28:38]:
I know myself like that.

Samantha [00:28:39]:
How you're gonna react in certain situations, how smart you are. Totally.

Lisa [00:28:44]:
Yeah. For sure. How much

Samantha [00:28:45]:
bullshit you can possibly come up with at one given time.

Lisa [00:28:49]:
Right? I feel I'm really good at all of those things. Right? I feel I definitely know who

Samantha [00:28:53]:
I am.

Samantha [00:28:54]:
I I would I would say that you do for sure.

Lisa [00:28:57]:
Right? And I don't know. Do you feel most people like us? Are we likable?

Samantha [00:29:03]:
Sometimes I think we are.

Lisa [00:29:05]:
Sometimes we're likable. I think most times I'm likable. My husband would disagree. Yes. He'd be like, yeah. It's because they don't live with you. Right?

Samantha [00:29:18]:
I think we're likable people.

Lisa [00:29:20]:
I think we're likable. Yeah. Right? I think it's funny because we fight we not fight. We bicker and argue a lot, you and I. But, boy, we laugh way more. God. Right?

Samantha [00:29:30]:
We were trying to get mad at each other on Monday.

Lisa [00:29:33]:
Was it? We

Samantha [00:29:34]:
couldn't do it.

Lisa [00:29:35]:
Couldn't do it. Couldn't do it.

Samantha [00:29:37]:
Oh, I couldn't do it because we were just laughing too hard.

Lisa [00:29:39]:
Right. And we can never make it stick. Right? Like, it just never sticks.

Samantha [00:29:44]:
Right? Because it doesn't make any sense because whatever you're saying is just utter bullshit. So

Lisa [00:29:50]:
Well and what I think you're saying is just, like, nonsense. Exactly. Right? So at some point, you just gotta cut that conversation.

Samantha [00:29:57]:
Oh, yeah. Call it call it

Lisa [00:29:59]:
a day. You know what I'm shaking my head at? I read this article from Manitoba. Manitoba, Canada. Uh-huh. I'm shaking my head at an 83 million. 83000000. There's no stuttering there. 83000000 year old shark tooth being found in Manitoba.

Lisa [00:30:20]:
Oh, wow. Like, okay. So we've been alive for 55 years. Yeah. Seems like a long time. It's not 83000000 years though. So in the terms of 83,000,000, this is what I don't understand. This is what I'm shaking my head at.

Lisa [00:30:36]:
Is that pre The Flintstones or after The Flintstones? Because everything prehistoric is based on The Flintstones in my world.

Samantha [00:30:47]:
Right? Yes. And, you know, it's funny that

Lisa [00:30:49]:
it's a cartoon that does that for you. Right? Remember how upset I was when I learned that The Flintstones actually were make believe because Yeah. Dinosaurs and people didn't interact?

Samantha [00:31:00]:
No. They did not.

Lisa [00:31:02]:
Who knew? Yeah. Yeah. Who knew? And hadn't for a long and didn't for year 1000000 years. 1000000 of years. So the hell? Why is there a shark?

Samantha [00:31:11]:
Well, because I think this was

Lisa [00:31:13]:
a body of water. And is that totally then is that is that shark totally grandpa shark? Do do do do do do. Grandpa shark because it wouldn't be baby shark.

Samantha [00:31:22]:
Well, it's definitely great grandpa shark.

Lisa [00:31:24]:
Great grandpa shark do do do do do. Like right? Like, hey, I

Samantha [00:31:28]:
lost my goose. Uh-huh. Yeah. I think so. But is the shark well, the shark predates Oh, would it be alive during, like, the dinosaur times?

Lisa [00:31:39]:
I don't know. Is Jesus around there? Like, is Jesus, like, hey, shark. Watch the water? Like, shark in the water?

Samantha [00:31:46]:
I think we are diving into a territory of which we know nothing about,

Lisa [00:31:49]:
where we could get out we could

Samantha [00:31:50]:
install people. We we could definitely be spewing information that is incredibly in fact we are not fact checking

Lisa [00:32:00]:
shit. How do we know? Maybe Jesus is 83000000 years old. We don't know. Did we ever find a fossil? Oh, no. That's right. He disappeared.

Samantha [00:32:08]:
Oh my god. Stop talking. Stop talking. And again, do you know who you are? Stop talking. We just talked about this. Stop talking. Stop talking. Stop talking.

Samantha [00:32:24]:
Stop. Stop. How old is that rock? Before there's b c and then there's a d. So it's before Christ and after death. Stop talking. You don't know anything about any of those things, or where the 83000000 year shark tooth lands. Stop talking about it.

Lisa [00:32:41]:
You got Flintstones before Christ died, after he died.

Samantha [00:32:47]:
The Flintstones are not in between that. They don't exist. They're not real. Stop.

Lisa [00:32:52]:
And a

Samantha [00:32:53]:
shark tooth. Stop.

Samantha [00:32:56]:
People are gonna think

Lisa [00:32:56]:
Where does that go?

Samantha [00:32:57]:
People are gonna think that we don't know well, it's very possible they're gonna that we don't know anything. Right. Right. Right. You're we're definitely setting that example right now. So stop talking.

Lisa [00:33:08]:
Just saying the Flintstones are my frame of reference.

Samantha [00:33:10]:
I know, but it shouldn't be.

Lisa [00:33:12]:
It is, though.

Samantha [00:33:13]:
But it's They were fortunate.

Lisa [00:33:15]:
They were in the stone age. Flintstone in the stone age.

Samantha [00:33:20]:
It was a cartoon.

Lisa [00:33:22]:
I know. Based on a real life situation.

Samantha [00:33:24]:
It wasn't. It was. No. It wasn't. If people live there, it was. Did not stop. Hi.

Lisa [00:33:32]:
There were saber tooth tigers.

Samantha [00:33:34]:
There was no dinosaur.

Lisa [00:33:36]:
Do you know there was yes. There there were dinosaurs during the dinosaur time. No. During the dinosaur time? No. Yes.

Samantha [00:33:44]:
The only the only reference Rex come from. Stop. The only Flintstone thing that I remember is the Flintstone Park, the bedrock

Lisa [00:33:56]:
in Cumberland. You don't remember when the Flintstones met? It was all famous. And Mark Rock. Nice. You don't remember that. Right? She was like a famous celebrity

Samantha [00:34:04]:
at Mark Rock? And Mark and Margaret. Yes. Okay.

Lisa [00:34:08]:
Right? Okay. Alright. Fine. We'll move on. Sorry. I'm shaking my head at this shaking my head at all that.

Samantha [00:34:13]:
Oh my god.

Lisa [00:34:14]:
That's all I'm gonna say about that. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. You sound crazy. I just am wondering where the shark tooth fits in on the timeline of life. That sounds like a normal question.

Samantha [00:34:28]:
You should Google it then. Or somebody from the podcast, friends

Lisa [00:34:32]:
of the podcast, help us out. Help us out. How close was the shark to the Flintstones? That's what I wanna know. That's that's really the essence of my question.

Samantha [00:34:42]:
Oh my god. Right.

Lisa [00:34:44]:
Okay. Because if I memory serves last thing I'm gonna say about this, I don't think Christ was around with the Flintstones. I don't remember that. I don't remember seeing that.

Samantha [00:34:53]:
The Flintstones aren't real. I just I can't with you right now. Stop.

Lisa [00:35:02]:
Good times. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Good times.

Samantha [00:35:06]:
Uh-huh. Mhmm.

Lisa [00:35:07]:
Okay. Alright.

Samantha [00:35:09]:
I'm I'm I'm done with you, and I'm done also with wearing my Fitbit. I'm done wearing a watch that tells me what I'm supposed to be doing every day.

Lisa [00:35:17]:
Is it because you're not doing what you're supposed to be doing? No.

Samantha [00:35:19]:
I'm just I'm over it. I'm over I'm over a watch that is a digital display.

Lisa [00:35:25]:
I just bought a brand new one. I know. You showed me. Brand new. And it's expensive. Alright. I didn't get the scuba one. I can't go scuba diving with it.

Lisa [00:35:35]:
And I'm like, I don't think I'm gonna go scuba diving. Darn. Right. So I opted not to get that one. Right? I don't know. Restraint.

Samantha [00:35:42]:
Like, what's the point? Other than you probably use it as a watch, you occasionally pay attention to your steps, what else is your watch doing for you that you're telling

Lisa [00:35:52]:
me that somebody

Samantha [00:35:53]:
sent me

Lisa [00:35:53]:
an Instagram, telling me somebody sent me a text message? Those things for sure. Telling me how the baseball's going. Really? Yeah. It's just you don't have the ability for all the good stuff yet.

Samantha [00:36:07]:
No. I don't care.

Lisa [00:36:09]:
Fine. Then I'm not gonna give you my old one because that's what I do. I always Alright. To a good to a good friend.

Samantha [00:36:18]:
Alright, Lisa. I'll take it. But I'm just saying, I might be I might be done wearing a Fitbit. I might go back to my regular watch. Like, I really That's

Lisa [00:36:24]:
Because I like the fanciness of watches with faces and arms and tick tock, tick tock. That's fine. But now, that's fine. Nobody's wearing that because now you can get that

Samantha [00:36:36]:
face No.

Lisa [00:36:36]:
Wearing that.

Samantha [00:36:37]:
People can

Lisa [00:36:38]:
get that people are still wearing no. Get that type of face on your

Samantha [00:36:42]:
digital watch. Same.

Lisa [00:36:43]:
Right? It's not the same. That big white one that you wear that's 15 sizes too big is not fancy. It looks like you bought it at the dollar store.

Samantha [00:36:51]:
I did,

Lisa [00:36:52]:
actually. Right. And and it lives up to that.

Samantha [00:36:54]:
I like it. Better than a Fitbit? Occasionally, I just because I have to wear my wear that one when the Fitbit dies. And I also hate charging it.

Lisa [00:37:05]:
Oh my god. You charge the phone? There's things you charge. You can buy a stand that charges everything all over the place.

Samantha [00:37:12]:
God. Like, I'm talking to the person who loves all tech. I should just stop talking to you about it right now.

Lisa [00:37:18]:
Yeah. Yeah. You know why you should? You know why you should? You should because we have some boom baby bakery news, Samantha. Now for those than the Fitbit.

Samantha [00:37:26]:
For those who do not know what the Boom Baby Bakery is, it is something we crafted a very long time ago in this podcast.

Lisa [00:37:35]:
It's a long time.

Samantha [00:37:36]:
Some strange reason. Guess, Lisa, over the over the COVID period of our life, Lisa decided she needed to make up a fake boom baby cap for boom baby bakery cafe, and then it became all these other variations.

Lisa [00:37:50]:
And all these things. Yes.

Samantha [00:37:52]:
So over the years, it's gone to be more and more ridiculous and it's fake.

Lisa [00:37:56]:
Just so you guys understand. But here's the thing. Right? We're scaling it back. We're going back. We're scaling it back. We're not focusing on on on all of this stuff. We're just gonna focus this fall really back on where our first love was, which was with, the bakery and the cafe. We're going back to that.

Lisa [00:38:17]:
Right? We don't need all the extras. No. Because we had added on quite a bit. We added on a garden. We added on adult drinking. We added like great. We had a skating rink. Right? It's getting you know, times are tough.

Lisa [00:38:30]:
Times are tough. I'm scaled back. We scaled back. However, we have 3 new well, 3 pretty exciting new things for the fall menu. Oh. Because every fall I feel that every fall it's really important to, you know, you know, as as a chef, it's really, really important to change your menu, mix it up a bit. Uh-huh. Samantha, these are the things.

Lisa [00:38:50]:
You ready? Uh-huh. First thing, mini meatloaf marbles. Oh. Mini meatloaf marbles. You know what? Because they're marbles. And they're meatloaf and they're Oh my god. Right?

Samantha [00:39:05]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:39:05]:
Cinnamon apple cobbler rolls. Yes. That's gonna be delicious, hey? Delightful. A cinnamon apple cobbler roll. I'm cut short

Samantha [00:39:16]:
a little bit like

Lisa [00:39:16]:
a sushi. Am I? But it's gonna be a cinnamon apple cobbler roll.

Samantha [00:39:22]:
Okay. Alright.

Lisa [00:39:23]:
And every good cafe has to have a new soup. Uh-huh. So we're doing onion soup. Oh my.

Samantha [00:39:31]:
Onion soup. Just onion, not baked onion? No. No. No. Just onion.

Lisa [00:39:36]:
Yeah. Onion. Can you say it properly? Repeat after me. Onion soup. Oh my. Onion soup. Oh my. Right.

Lisa [00:39:45]:
I'll get you a bowl of that, please.

Samantha [00:39:48]:
Okay. So in our in our in our Boom Baby Bakery, and cafe, I demand no. I insist.

Lisa [00:39:56]:
No. No. We have not talked about this.

Samantha [00:39:58]:
We bring in a pumpkin scone with a vanilla glaze icing. Pumpkins been banned.

Lisa [00:40:04]:
No. It's not been banned. People are allergic to pumpkin. No. They're not. Pumpkin, I read, gives people hives.

Samantha [00:40:09]:
No. It does not.

Lisa [00:40:10]:
Pumpkins meant not to be eaten because it's bushy and gross. Right? Pumpkin's meant to be a jack o'-lantern.

Samantha [00:40:15]:
I am, like, 1 week away from probably finding something pumpkin soon.

Lisa [00:40:20]:
That's crazy. Well, I'm gonna take that under under advisement.

Samantha [00:40:24]:
You know that I can get, like, a pumpkin pie and, like, eat it.

Lisa [00:40:30]:
Totally. Right? You just with a fork, off you go.

Samantha [00:40:32]:
This is my season. I love pumpkin. I love pumpkin scones too, by the way. It should've stayed fine. That is

Lisa [00:40:39]:
definitely making a, an appearance. I I I saw a recipe for a sweet potato bundt cake. Oh. Nope. I said, uh-uh. Sweet potato don't sweet potato don't belong in your district.

Samantha [00:40:53]:
Sweet potato pie is delightful. I had I had one actually when I was out. Nope. Nope. In the states.

Lisa [00:40:59]:
Nope. Nope. But so anyways, that's what we're gonna be doing, friends of the podcast. Boom Baby Bakery and Cafe. It's back.

Samantha [00:41:04]:
And off we go

Lisa [00:41:06]:
Off we go.

Samantha [00:41:07]:
Our fake cafe bakery. Because somebody had said that they missed us talking about it. And we're like, we miss talking about it.

Lisa [00:41:15]:
We miss talking about it too. So it's time. It felt right, so that's what we do. Right? Samantha, do you why okay. I gotta figure this out. Why do people call you dear when they don't even know you? Like, hey, dear, and they should know Thanks, dear. Thanks, dear. I no problem, dear.

Lisa [00:41:38]:
Yeah. Why do they call you that when they don't know you?

Samantha [00:41:44]:
I don't know because they're because, honestly, when people do that, it's a little too familiar. Okay.

Lisa [00:41:50]:
So here's the rule. It's almost

Samantha [00:41:52]:
like like not proper etiquette.

Lisa [00:41:54]:
But here's the rule in my books. Right? If you're someone's grandma, ideally, you should be mine, but she did because we old. But if you're someone's grandma, you can get away with using the word dear.

Samantha [00:42:07]:
Of course you can.

Lisa [00:42:08]:
Because you're someone's grandma. Right. And you should be old. If you're young and you say the word dear, I wanna say don't you dare with a slap. Don't you dare.

Samantha [00:42:20]:
I don't think they mean anything rude by it.

Lisa [00:42:23]:
Oh, but it's not right. Or is

Samantha [00:42:24]:
it is is someone calling you dear the same as, like, bless your heart, which really means fuck off. Right. Right.

Lisa [00:42:33]:
Like like, dear from a young person sounds condescending. Oh, no problem, dear. I am not your dear. You know what? I was my nana's dear. And my nana died when I was in grade 7. Yeah. I don't know. She blew up.

Lisa [00:42:49]:
Yeah. I don't We don't use that word.

Samantha [00:42:51]:
I try not to use that word actually because a lot of years ago, years ago, I had someone who basically took me to town because they used that word with them. And they embarrassed me so much that I it was, like, ingrained in me to never use that word.

Lisa [00:43:07]:
Yeah. So I could see your personality because when you're being nice and kind and gentle, I could see your personality using a word like that without thinking twice. Yeah. My personality, it would sound ridiculous. Right? It would be like, hi. Hi. What what?

Samantha [00:43:24]:
What was that? I think you can use dear with, like, family? Nah. I think you can use that weird, but I but I seriously, when that person I when I got took to task about it, I'm like,

Lisa [00:43:41]:
note to self. Don't you dare. Don't do that again. Don't do that again. Right? You know what else? You're familiar with people you don't know. Right. Right? Because they don't want that. They They don't necessarily want that.

Lisa [00:43:53]:
You know what else people don't want? People don't want you to be an astronaut that goes up in space and for some reason your ship gets to come back but you don't get to.

Samantha [00:44:05]:
What happened there?

Lisa [00:44:07]:
Well, first off, let's just go for on the record because this is your first time listening to the podcast. We don't know because we don't fact check. I just saw the headline and I was like, why would we do that? I think that there I think that there's something about how the capsule is the capsule that would bring them back to Earth is, maybe, like, not in maybe it's in a little bit needs repair.

Samantha [00:44:28]:
Oh my god. So it's coming back without them?

Lisa [00:44:31]:
Yeah. Because at least if it blows up, it blows up. It doesn't blow them up. Right? Hi. We lived we lived through the original shuttle.

Samantha [00:44:38]:
Who I I okay. Who's going to get them though?

Lisa [00:44:42]:
I don't know. But they're I think they're at the Space Center, which they make it sound like that's like a luxury resort, which I'm sure it's not.

Samantha [00:44:50]:
I'm sure it's.

Lisa [00:44:51]:
So what do you do? Right? You're just, like, say it's you and me. First off, it would be bad enough if it's you and me and we know each other and we're in a capsule until February.

Samantha [00:45:01]:
That's all.

Lisa [00:45:01]:
There's no job to do.

Samantha [00:45:03]:
That's a long Yeah. Yeah.

Lisa [00:45:04]:
Right? No probably don't get cell phone reception up in space? No. Probably no Wi Fi. No. Although you should have satellite, you would think. Maybe You

Samantha [00:45:13]:
would have satellite, but how often are you using that?

Lisa [00:45:15]:
Right. Right? If it's a nice hot day, you can't go to the beach. You can't go shopping. What is there to pass your time with?

Samantha [00:45:23]:
That's a really great question, Lisa. Maybe so you have puzzles. Maybe there's games up there.

Lisa [00:45:27]:
You imagine all those puzzle pieces just floating around. Seems like you and I would not do good at that. We would be over that puzzle really quickly. I think you'd even be over reading because you'd have to take a lot to hold on to the book. Yeah. Yeah. Right? Like, I like, what do you do?

Samantha [00:45:44]:
I don't you just that's a lot of time.

Lisa [00:45:48]:
It's a lot of spare time to be in space for. So I just I don't know. I'm shaking my head at those guys. Those broke ass,

Samantha [00:45:55]:
you know? Food?

Lisa [00:45:56]:
Do you think they have enough food up there? Well, if not, I guess they'll starve to death. I guess who do you pick to eat? One's gotta be there's decisions to be made. Who are we snacking on? Heads or tails? Rock, paper, scissors? Oh

Samantha [00:46:08]:
my god.

Lisa [00:46:09]:
Right? Rock, paper, scissors.

Samantha [00:46:10]:
Oh my god. I love it when we talk about something we know nothing about.

Lisa [00:46:13]:
No. But it was an interesting headline. Right? And I'm like, hey, let's talk about that.

Samantha [00:46:20]:
Oh, that's what we do. Pluck things from the Internet and off

Lisa [00:46:23]:
we go. Sounds good, and then we just make up a story around it. Right?

Samantha [00:46:27]:
You know what? They must be pissed, though.

Lisa [00:46:29]:
Don't you think they'd be pissed? They'd be pissed. You'd be pissed.

Samantha [00:46:33]:
It's like they probably went for, like, a jaunty week, maybe a month, And they were like, yeah, and then we're gonna come back and everything's gonna be great.

Lisa [00:46:41]:
Right. Apparently not not not so fast, my friend.

Samantha [00:46:45]:
And now you're vacationing in the space station.

Lisa [00:46:48]:
Besides somebody you don't care about. And I don't even know if you're in this station or you're just anchored to the station.

Samantha [00:46:54]:
I mean,

Lisa [00:46:54]:
because tethered, there's so many unanswered questions. God, it sounds like something I bet you that's a really interesting read, but I'm not gonna read it. Why can't they do a TikTok about it? God, that would be the best.

Samantha [00:47:06]:
I think I think because they keep sending people to space that aren't necessarily supposed to be there, I've lost interest.

Lisa [00:47:15]:
Yeah. Like, I I don't get space. Like, what's the point of space? What are we learning from space? Oh, space has water. Who cares? I can't go there. You know me. Right? If it doesn't affect me here, like, it would be different. Like, oh, we send people to space because the cure for cancer lives on Mars? Okay. Let's invest.

Lisa [00:47:34]:
While the cure for cancer live in space. I I haven't heard. I haven't heard. For sure. No. We don't know.

Samantha [00:47:40]:
We don't know.

Lisa [00:47:41]:
It could. Let's not speculate. It'd be cool.

Samantha [00:47:44]:
Oh my god. And we just made up a rumor. Awesome.

Lisa [00:47:48]:
What's that rumor? That that was the downfall of the national choir right there. Right? You idiots just making shit up. Just making

Samantha [00:47:57]:
shit up, just for fun.

Lisa [00:47:58]:
Right? That's kinda funny. Hey? K. You know what's not funny?

Samantha [00:48:02]:
What? It's a controversy on airplanes. Should or even just in general No.

Lisa [00:48:08]:
I'm kind of over planes.

Samantha [00:48:09]:
Okay. But should the person in the middle seat, whether it be on a plane, in a movie, or a concert, like, anybody that has to sit in

Lisa [00:48:19]:
the middle and there's people on the sides of you, do you get both armrests that you're at? 100%. Yes, you do. And I'm always in the middle. If it's me, you, and the HHG, I'm always in the middle seat. I own both rests. Yes. I do. If I'm in a plane, I I secure my arms.

Lisa [00:48:39]:
They're mine. You're mine. Okay. Right? Because if if I didn't have armrests, I'm just in a bucket. And that seems weird. So no

Samantha [00:48:50]:
You're just in a bucket?

Lisa [00:48:51]:
I get a bucket seat.

Samantha [00:48:52]:
Uh-huh.

Lisa [00:48:53]:
Right? There's nothing there's no definition. There's nothing to define me.

Samantha [00:48:58]:
I think there is an undefined rule that the person on a plane who's sitting in the middle does get both.

Lisa [00:49:04]:
I don't know. I feel they do. I think that I don't know. I think that the person gets the right handed one. I think the person doesn't always get the left. Maybe. Because because everybody thinks the right one is theirs. Uh-huh.

Lisa [00:49:17]:
So you're always out an arm. I don't know. I don't know.

Samantha [00:49:21]:
I don't know. And, frankly, I always try to sit at the window.

Lisa [00:49:25]:
Yeah. I I know. And I lean. And you lean. And I lean. Yeah.

Samantha [00:49:30]:
Because I don't like the middle and I don't like the aisle. Oh my god. I had to sit in the aisle once, and I'm like, could you please just stop bumping into me?

Lisa [00:49:36]:
I know. It's horrible. It's absolutely horrible. Okay. Hold that sound. Hold that sound for this point. Ready? Mhmm. AFC has a new chicken sandwich out, Samantha.

Lisa [00:49:48]:
Uh-huh. They're big crunch topped with Kraft dinner. Oh, god. Topped with KD. I don't think that's a good idea. Only thing that KD plays with is wieners. It's that's its only accompaniment is wiener.

Samantha [00:50:05]:
I get that in the States, they do mac and cheese with their KFC. Like, they actually give hot mac and cheese with their KFC, but that does not mean it needs to come to Canada.

Lisa [00:50:14]:
It doesn't need to come to Canada.

Samantha [00:50:16]:
I don't think that fake or not fake. I don't think craft dinner needs to be part of the KFC world.

Lisa [00:50:23]:
It does not. Craft dinner is perfection on its own and has only allowed and made room for the weiner. Right? It's team weiner all the way, Kraft.

Samantha [00:50:33]:
It is team weiner.

Lisa [00:50:34]:
It's not team chicken. Kraft dinner is only about wieners. They only want wieners. It's only about that's all. They just want wieners.

Samantha [00:50:45]:
But speaking not even of that, like, the heart attack that that sandwich represents.

Lisa [00:50:51]:
It hurts my broken heart just thinking about it. It's like, how do how would you eat that? Messily. Bless. Messily. Use that word in

Samantha [00:51:00]:
a sentence. But all and okay. So KFC released new ones. So did McDonald's. It's called the big arch, and it's, like, all over TikTok, and people are, like, oh, I'm eating an hour. And it's, like, 2 it's a a brioche bun or something and, and 2 patties with cheese and a special arch sauce and pickle No. Whatever. And I'm just, like, again, it's too it just looks like a big mac without the bun in the middle.

Lisa [00:51:27]:
Right? It's not bun patty patty bun patty patty bun. No. No. Right?

Samantha [00:51:31]:
So I just I don't get it.

Lisa [00:51:33]:
No. I don't get it.

Samantha [00:51:34]:
And it just, again, looks like a heart attack waiting to happen.

Lisa [00:51:37]:
Like, do we need to kill the world? We're doing it we're doing it all on our own. We don't need x we don't need to push.

Samantha [00:51:44]:
I don't know. But okay. So we talk about it and we're like, ew, gross. Ew, yeah. Should we put our money where our mouth is and try them out? Friends of the podcast, should Lisa and I venture out one day and and try an arch and a and a big crunch?

Lisa [00:51:57]:
They need to decide this.

Samantha [00:51:58]:
Yeah. Because do you guys wanna see us try them both? I mean, we don't have to eat all of it. We just need

Lisa [00:52:04]:
to get one and, like, share it. Yeah. We share it.

Samantha [00:52:08]:
We share it. Right.

Lisa [00:52:09]:
Now that we're getting so good with that, like, with the lips and No. Everything's terrible. Everything terrible, Samantha.

Samantha [00:52:18]:
But, yeah, friends of the podcast, if you wanna see Lisa and I, give it a shot. Because, you know, we're complaining about it, but maybe they're maybe they taste good. Maybe we'll change

Lisa [00:52:26]:
our mind. Maybe. Maybe we'll drop dead in mid bite. That's exciting.

Samantha [00:52:32]:
Well, you never know, Lisa. Right?

Lisa [00:52:36]:
I I've already dabbled with the dark side. I don't know

Samantha [00:52:38]:
if I need to go back. No. I don't think you need to go back. You don't

Samantha [00:52:42]:
think I

Lisa [00:52:42]:
need to go back. No. You don't. I just think no. Good lord would be like, are you kidding me? You had a heart attack, and we gave you a second chance, and you had the big crunch with Kraft Dinner? Right? But for the speaking of podcast, if the friends wanted it, I would go for it.

Samantha [00:52:58]:
It would just be like a bite or 2. Yeah. Bite.

Lisa [00:53:00]:
The bite's not gonna kill you.

Samantha [00:53:01]:
I mean and then and then the ridiculous ridiculousness of this conversation is is that eat Lisa and I are not exactly health nuts. We're not exactly, you know, living the good life of, like, crunching on the veggie, and Right. Only eating chicken, and fish, like, we're not doing those things.

Lisa [00:53:22]:
Just because I have, yogurt coated raisins doesn't mean that I'm necessarily paying attention to shit.

Samantha [00:53:29]:
Yeah. That's not right. No. No. Like, let's be honest. Right. Let's be honest. Before we thumb our nose at the at the, you know, the new fast foods, Lisa.

Lisa [00:53:41]:
Right. Right? We are not bright. Yeah. Let us know. I didn't get to be my svelte self, but My McRib is my favorite for a reason. Exactly.

Samantha [00:53:54]:
And if it

Samantha [00:53:55]:
was still here, you'd still be eating it.

Lisa [00:53:57]:
I'd still be chomping on a McRib every now and then. You betcha. Yes. She was. You betcha. I would. Totally. Totally, Samantha.

Samantha [00:54:04]:
Oh, so the Sunday spotlight, it has been named. We've chosen from Hailey's. Yep. Hailey's list. Sunday spotlights. Sunday spotlight. And Lisa chose to go with how do you eat your Oreo.

Lisa [00:54:17]:
I feel it's just gonna be kind of, like, random stuff like that. Like, things that just make me wonder how you eat your Oreo. Thanks.

Samantha [00:54:27]:
So we had a

Samantha [00:54:28]:
few good ones. Carol said she leaves them on the shelf, but she also said that there was something called Oh,

Lisa [00:54:35]:
there's a special aura. She's from the UK.

Samantha [00:54:37]:
Yeah. It's like was it dangerous?

Lisa [00:54:40]:
No. I don't think I don't remember.

Samantha [00:54:41]:
Oh, it was something. I can't remember. It was like and it boomed. Or I don't know.

Lisa [00:54:45]:
Like it was, like, big. It looked scary.

Samantha [00:54:47]:
But Melody was like a twist and dunk. Joanna shoves it in her mouth, and I'm like, yeah. Me too. Karen, it says Dunkin' Twist. Cindy doesn't eat them, but if she did, she'd eat it in 2 bites. Two bites. Bite bite. Right? Hailey is also a Dunkin' Twist.

Samantha [00:55:03]:
Andrea would eat it in 2 bites. Kelly would eat the whole cookie

Lisa [00:55:06]:
just to talk about that.

Samantha [00:55:07]:
It's good. Good. Right? Paula is a dunker with a Steve Miller band twist because she had lyrics too.

Lisa [00:55:14]:
That's funny.

Samantha [00:55:15]:
Yeah. That was pretty good. And Wendy, the whole cookie with peanut butter, and I'm like, okay.

Lisa [00:55:21]:
That seems odd, Wendy.

Samantha [00:55:22]:
I don't know because chocolate

Samantha [00:55:24]:
and peanut butter go together.

Lisa [00:55:26]:
I don't know if I want I don't it needs to be made together. I don't wanna

Samantha [00:55:30]:
You know what? And then I but then I feel, and I'm like, Wendy, you might make me buy some Oreos. I might wanna try this peanut butter hack that

Lisa [00:55:38]:
you have. Or you could do that on a Sunday when I'm baking banana bread for the man I love.

Samantha [00:55:46]:
Oh, sorry. I don't mean to laugh that hard.

Samantha [00:55:52]:
Oh, yeah. Lisa, that's a good one.

Samantha [00:55:54]:
Right? Right?

Samantha [00:55:55]:
Karen, I just I I need to throw Karen in here. She's done in one bite. I mean, we don't hold back. We're just shoving that thing into our mouths and

Lisa [00:56:02]:
we're filling it in. I'm a twist. I'm not a dunk. I'm a twist. And if that's that icing on its own, I go I go cookie cookie icing. Totally. But that takes a lot of skill. Hey?

Samantha [00:56:15]:
Yeah. Yeah. You know?

Lisa [00:56:16]:
You know? It's funny because nobody said that they were liquors. And I'm like, oh, there's liquors out there. We're just not saying it's liquors.

Samantha [00:56:23]:
We all lick it.

Lisa [00:56:24]:
Because it sounds odd. Sounds odd. But I think deep down there's liquors. There's liquors in the group. I see them. I see them.

Samantha [00:56:32]:
Yes. Alright. So, Lisa, how did your Facebook Tuesday turn out?

Lisa [00:56:37]:
Okay. So, lots of people, lots of people, they don't like watermelon.

Samantha [00:56:42]:
I don't know. That made me a little sad.

Lisa [00:56:45]:
Corn on the cob seems to be a little tough on some people. Our friend Dwayne, he said getting old sucks. Right? I hear you. I hear you.

Samantha [00:56:57]:
We're right there with you.

Lisa [00:56:58]:
Right there. And and you know what? The one surprised me the most is people saying that barbecue chicken is messy. I know. Why are we not eating barbecued chicken all of

Samantha [00:57:08]:
a sudden? Well, are they eating with their fingers? Because then it would get messy. But if they're eating it with a fork and knife like Lisa

Lisa [00:57:15]:
Right. Then it's just fine. You're perfectly fine. Trust me. It's not messy. It's not messy. It's not messy. That was a fun one too.

Lisa [00:57:23]:
That was a fun one. It's just the end of summer. Right? I know. It's like, No. I feel it's officially over now. We've kicked it to the curb. Wait. That's just how it goes, Samantha.

Lisa [00:57:34]:
Right? So we had a question from Caroline. Yes? So so Friends of the Podcast, she emailed us through our website. Yes. And she asked us a question. I I I was we know her so she's a good friend.

Samantha [00:57:50]:
Uh-huh.

Lisa [00:57:51]:
So I feel I can say I'm a little surprised with the question because I'm like, did I secretly apply for a job? I don't understand where this is coming from. But that's okay. We love her. So we're gonna here's the question.

Samantha [00:58:05]:
We're gonna

Lisa [00:58:06]:
answer it. How would you answer the following, it's a 2 parter, question in a job interview? How do you feel about change and tell me about a time you persevered through a change? Samantha? So

Samantha [00:58:20]:
if I'm in an interview and someone asked me how do I feel about change, change is great. I am resilient. I can look forward. I can see the future. I will be curious about what's hap of course. But in my mind,

Lisa [00:58:32]:
I'm like, nobody likes change. Nobody likes change.

Samantha [00:58:34]:
Nobody likes change. Nobody likes it?

Lisa [00:58:37]:
He wants it. I'm officially telling you a lie. I'm officially telling you a lie. I'm not lying to you. I'm just saying because your because your mind's phrasing it wrong. Right? The question the question is how do you feel about change? I'm okay with change. I understand we need change. My mind is saying, however, I would prefer that there not be change.

Lisa [00:58:58]:
That's what separates me and you. Yes. That's what makes it not a lie. Right? I would prefer that there not be change. I would prefer that there but I get that there has to be change.

Samantha [00:59:07]:
Yes. And I feel like nobody answers questions truthfully in an interview.

Lisa [00:59:15]:
You're trying to just stay it's like checkers. You're trying to stay one jump ahead. Right?

Samantha [00:59:18]:
Well and, honestly, when you're in an interview, that is change. Something has changed in your life that you're going to an interview.

Lisa [00:59:25]:
Here I am. Right? Like, my favorite interview question. And did you have a salary expectation? Of course not. You know what? I understand that it's I'm new to the position, and and and, you know, everybody's gotta start low. Gotta start at the bottom of the bottom of

Samantha [00:59:42]:
the Oh, no. I have a salary. I think

Lisa [00:59:45]:
I don't I don't have an expectation because I don't wanna expect myself out.

Samantha [00:59:49]:
Oh my god.

Lisa [00:59:50]:
Right? I don't like that question. That's a tricky one.

Samantha [00:59:52]:
Uh-huh. Okay. But the second part, Lisa. And tell me about a time you persevered through a change. Oh, god. Have I? Well, we just made a big switch with the podcast.

Lisa [01:00:03]:
Okay. So and we persevered. And

Samantha [01:00:05]:
we persevered. Right? It was self induced

Lisa [01:00:09]:
change. Self induced change for the better. For the better. You know how we persevered? We persevered because we got some people who weren't too excited in the beginning.

Samantha [01:00:18]:
Yes.

Lisa [01:00:20]:
Some people who were a little, like, questioning our motives. Yes. Like, don't worry. We honestly are not going after the almighty dollar. They have not knocked they're not knocking at the door. Right? And if they do, they have to love the package. Uh-huh. They have to love the product and the package.

Lisa [01:00:37]:
So I don't know. You know what? When I moved when we moved, even though we were moving and that was a good thing, I still persevered through the change of the move because you have to persevere through it. Right? Right. What else can you do? But doesn't mean I love it. No. Right? I try and persevere hardwood floors every Saturday when I get my wet mop out to clean them.

Samantha [01:01:03]:
Right? Right. Yeah.

Lisa [01:01:04]:
Persevere. Persevere. Right? Persevere. I don't know if that's the answer you're looking for there, Caroline.

Samantha [01:01:09]:
I think that that's a good like, anytime that you can get through something that isn't what you expect or isn't what you would have anticipated, you're doing okay.

Lisa [01:01:20]:
But I do. I hate change. Mhmm. I like to put things as they are.

Samantha [01:01:25]:
Okay. But life is all about change.

Lisa [01:01:27]:
So Right. So so and I like life, so I make change.

Samantha [01:01:34]:
Part of my issue
