From Pancakes to Politics

Lisa [00:00:06]:
Samantha, after all these years, you surely must know what my second favorite holiday is, right?

Samantha [00:00:11]:
Easter.

Lisa [00:00:12]:
Not Easter.

Samantha [00:00:13]:
Food.

Lisa [00:00:13]:
Where do you get Easter if you get food? You know, you get.

Samantha [00:00:16]:
You get ham, you get the potatoes.

Lisa [00:00:18]:
It's not Easter. Yes, it's Easter. It's not Easter. It's actually Pancake Tuesday because Pancake Tuesday is the celebration of pancakes. Pancake Tuesday, Samantha, lend me your ear, would you? Little religion here, friends. Pancake Tuesday is the day that the Lord went to the desert and declared all should eat pancakes.

Samantha [00:00:38]:
No. Yeah, it really was.

Lisa [00:00:40]:
It was. And it was on Tuesday. And I missed it.

Samantha [00:00:43]:
No. Pancakes were not even invented back in the day when he walked into the desert.

Lisa [00:00:48]:
I'm sure they were. It's a little bit of milk. Or it's maybe not milk. It's a little bit of water and it's. And it's like some ground up wheat or something.

Samantha [00:00:56]:
Hi.

Lisa [00:00:57]:
They were making bread. They were making pancakes.

Samantha [00:00:59]:
This is true. But I. I kind of doubt that pancakes were really a thing back then. And even if it was, Lisa, that's not the meaning of Pancake Tuesday.

Lisa [00:01:07]:
Well, why?

Samantha [00:01:08]:
I don't know what it is because I am not Catholic and I don't practice this.

Lisa [00:01:11]:
Pancake Tuesday leads into Lent.

Samantha [00:01:13]:
All of this leads into Lent.

Lisa [00:01:14]:
Pancake Tuesday's a Catholic thing again?

Samantha [00:01:16]:
Yeah. Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:01:18]:
They're really stealing all the headlines right now, aren't they? Right. If it's not the Pope, it's the pancakes. Interesting. Interesting. All I'm saying, Samantha, is I missed out. Nobod reached out to tell me that. That. That they were celebrating pancakes.

Lisa [00:01:32]:
Just kind of got me thinking. I wonder how the Lord's feeling about that. Like, how do you think the Lord is feeling about nobody celebrating his festival of pancakes?

Samantha [00:01:40]:
I feel like a lot of people celebrated Pancake Tuesday and they actually knew about it because they're Catholic.

Lisa [00:01:47]:
I literally scrolled by it today and was like, shut the up. I missed Pancake Tuesday. My second most favorite holiday related to food, and I missed it. Oh.

Samantha [00:02:05]:
Do you realize about yourself? Do you understand that everything that's exciting in your life is always related to a beverage or food?

Lisa [00:02:12]:
Sounds pretty perfect to me. I don't have kids. Right? Not that I think they'd be very exciting anyways. Right?

Samantha [00:02:19]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:02:20]:
Although I guess it would be. I guess they'd be reminding me that it was Pancake Tuesday.

Samantha [00:02:24]:
Maybe that's.

Lisa [00:02:26]:
Maybe I should have had kids, right? Oh, I'm just saying I feel bad. I hope the Lord's not mad at Me. For missing out on his festival of pancakes.

Samantha [00:02:34]:
Dear God, Dear God, please forgive Lisa.

Lisa [00:02:36]:
Please.

Samantha [00:02:36]:
She forgot about pancakes, right?

Lisa [00:02:38]:
I forgot about pancakes. I will make up for pancakes, I promise. Yeah.

Samantha [00:02:42]:
And, oh, by the way, help out the Pope.

Lisa [00:02:45]:
And help out the Pope, right? He's up and down. He's up and down. He's up and down. He's up and down, right?

Samantha [00:02:50]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:02:50]:
He's not doing Mass. He's doing Mass. He's not doing Mass. He's doing Mass.

Samantha [00:02:54]:
Oh.

Lisa [00:02:54]:
It's time to make a decision, Pope people, right? The Pope people need to make a decision. Maybe over pancakes. Eat the pancakes, make the decision. Go to the desert, eat the pancakes, have a picnic. Make the decision. What are we doing with the Pope? Nobody's praying for the people.

Samantha [00:03:13]:
He doesn't get to not be Pope anymore. I don't know if they actually retire. I think they have to die.

Lisa [00:03:19]:
Oh, so he just stays the Pope till he drops dead. Kind of like the queen that way, right? Yeah.

Samantha [00:03:26]:
It's like you're the Pope and you will be until you are no longer.

Lisa [00:03:30]:
Yeah. But here's the difference, right? At least with the queen, there was Prince Charles, there was Anne. Lots of people pinch hitting and doing her work for her.

Samantha [00:03:37]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:03:38]:
Nobody's helping out the Pope, Right.

Samantha [00:03:39]:
I feel like people are.

Lisa [00:03:41]:
You don't really hear much about that in the news, do you? Well, I'm pretty sure Cardinal Pete stepped up and he's got this. I got you Catholics.

Samantha [00:03:50]:
Bob. How's it going? Right? Cardinal Bob.

Lisa [00:03:52]:
I got you Cardinal Bob. Put you on my shoulders. I got you Catholics of the world. Let me just finish my pancakes first and then we'll get to max.

Samantha [00:03:59]:
Okay?

Lisa [00:04:00]:
Okay.

Samantha [00:04:01]:
Go get some pancakes. I don't.

Lisa [00:04:02]:
Pancakes.

Samantha [00:04:03]:
I can't with you. I can't with you.

Lisa [00:04:05]:
Whatever. Just saying.

Samantha [00:04:08]:
Welcome to another episode of I Shake my Head with Lisa and Sam.

Lisa [00:04:12]:
Hello, friends of the podcast.

Samantha [00:04:15]:
Hello, everybody.

Lisa [00:04:16]:
It's not a little blast from the past, that opening. Slipping back in.

Samantha [00:04:20]:
I felt we needed to have that right. Sometimes back in.

Lisa [00:04:25]:
Sometimes we just need the comforts of home.

Samantha [00:04:28]:
And apparently we needed that.

Lisa [00:04:30]:
Right. I kind of miss it. Right. Because we're awkward enough just trying new things. Right. We're not meant go back to the old. I feel we're not meant to reinvent the. Reinvent the wheel, Samantha.

Lisa [00:04:41]:
But here. Okay, friends of the podcast. I'm gonna take you on a journey I need.

Samantha [00:04:50]:
Not a very exciting journey. I just want to let you guys know.

Lisa [00:04:53]:
It's a visual journey.

Samantha [00:04:54]:
Lisa thinking that because Nobody else looks like her or everybody should look like her that anybody who does anything different has. It has to get pointed out.

Lisa [00:05:04]:
It's a visual journey. It's a visual journey, friends. So you see lovely Samantha, right? Who's a pretty girl? She's a pretty girl.

Samantha [00:05:15]:
Shut up.

Lisa [00:05:16]:
Picks me up on Friday. I get in the car. What's the first thing I notice? Oh, my goodness. Samantha's got a pullback pony just like this. I was even doing the actions, wasn't I? I'm like pulled back pony. Literally just a ponytail at the back of her head. Like. Like she's 8 years old, going to school.

Samantha [00:05:40]:
People do that. People put ponytails in their head.

Lisa [00:05:43]:
I've never seen you just with a pulled back pony.

Samantha [00:05:45]:
Well, and that day was the day that it was a pony day.

Lisa [00:05:48]:
It was a pulled back pony day.

Samantha [00:05:50]:
It was a pulled back pony.

Lisa [00:05:51]:
You decide whether it's an ugly claw on your head day or a pulled back pony day.

Samantha [00:05:58]:
What makes really depends. It depends on how I feel, Lisa.

Lisa [00:06:01]:
Okay? Because some days you're. You're straight and down. Other days you're crunchy. Other days you're just like this rat's nest on the top with a thing attached to your head.

Samantha [00:06:10]:
Rat's nest.

Lisa [00:06:11]:
You know what? It wasn't your dirty perm or any ugly perm.

Samantha [00:06:13]:
We all can't have hair less than an inch.

Lisa [00:06:19]:
It's not. It's longer head. It's longer.

Samantha [00:06:21]:
You know, we can't all get our haircut every four to six weeks.

Lisa [00:06:25]:
Don't say six. It'll never be six, I'll tell you that. It'll be a cold day with COVID back when it's six weeks. Right?

Samantha [00:06:34]:
I swear to God, anybody who looks different than you and you're like, I don't understand that. I don't understand it.

Lisa [00:06:39]:
I didn't understand. I didn't understand. You're pulled back pony.

Samantha [00:06:42]:
It's a ponytail. And just because I'm 56 does not mean that I can't have a ponytail.

Lisa [00:06:47]:
Seemed out of place. Seemed better place.

Samantha [00:06:52]:
Really?

Lisa [00:06:53]:
Yeah, a little bit. For a Friday night.

Samantha [00:06:56]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:06:57]:
It seemed like a Saturday. Maybe it's a Sunday pony at home where nobody sees you. Sure.

Samantha [00:07:02]:
Sunday pony Me.

Lisa [00:07:03]:
Right? Sure.

Samantha [00:07:04]:
Don't ever come out in public with that ponytail.

Lisa [00:07:06]:
Don't bring that ponytail back out. Okay? We. We're retiring the pony from public.

Samantha [00:07:11]:
You know what? You don't get to have that say.

Lisa [00:07:13]:
That's fine. I won't have that say. But I'll still have Comments. If I see it again, I can't wait.

Samantha [00:07:19]:
Oh, really, cuz?

Lisa [00:07:21]:
Oh, really.

Samantha [00:07:21]:
Now let's go back to Friday. Let's go back to Friday, shall we? Because as I sat there and I. And you made fun of my ponytail consistently for the entire time we were.

Lisa [00:07:35]:
There, I felt it was my time.

Samantha [00:07:37]:
I then looked down and go, oh, how's your cankle pants?

Lisa [00:07:42]:
And they're not a cankle pant. And I don't have a cankle.

Samantha [00:07:45]:
I shouldn't see your. Your bare leg.

Lisa [00:07:47]:
It's.

Samantha [00:07:48]:
I should not see your bare leg. That is how short your jeans were.

Lisa [00:07:52]:
They are.

Samantha [00:07:53]:
And you tried to. Your sister. You told me your sister called them a capri, so don't even.

Lisa [00:07:59]:
And they're not a capri.

Samantha [00:08:01]:
You know what? They're. And they're not an ankle pad.

Lisa [00:08:03]:
They're an ankle ankle.

Samantha [00:08:05]:
They're a cankle pant.

Lisa [00:08:06]:
They're an ankle pant.

Samantha [00:08:07]:
They came halfway. Halfway up your calf.

Lisa [00:08:09]:
No, they're an ankle.

Samantha [00:08:10]:
You need new jeans. Like when Michelle puts her hand on your shoulder and says, girl, need to.

Lisa [00:08:16]:
Get you some new jeans.

Samantha [00:08:17]:
We need to get you some new jeans.

Lisa [00:08:19]:
Hi.

Samantha [00:08:19]:
It's time, friends.

Lisa [00:08:21]:
The podcast. I've been asking for my friends to help me with new jeans for years now.

Samantha [00:08:26]:
We've dried. You're impossible.

Lisa [00:08:28]:
Well, guess what? Have a look.

Samantha [00:08:29]:
You want them to magically fit your body type. Humpty Dumpty with skinny chicken legs doesn't exist.

Lisa [00:08:35]:
Yeah, because I'm not convinced that the seamstress is the way to go because she wrecked my other pants.

Samantha [00:08:39]:
Oh, did she?

Lisa [00:08:40]:
She made them too big. Now I wear them and I'm trying to pull them up all day because the part that she put on the side is stretchy. It's stretchy. I didn't. I didn't ask for an expandable stretchiness in my pant. I just asked for a quarter of an inch so I didn't have to use a button extender. Don't. I'm not.

Lisa [00:09:01]:
I don't. Don't. Just don't.

Samantha [00:09:10]:
I. I sense this is a touchy subject.

Lisa [00:09:12]:
Touchy subject. Right. Right. I'm gonna take them to another seamstress to see if they can fix that seamstress's mess.

Samantha [00:09:21]:
Oh, you're gonna waste too much money. You should just buy a new pair of pants.

Lisa [00:09:24]:
Yeah, well, you just said, how hard is it for me to find pants? So, so hard. Right? So, so hard. Oh, good God.

Samantha [00:09:34]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:09:35]:
I tell you. I tell you.

Samantha [00:09:36]:
You're fucked.

Lisa [00:09:37]:
You're Totally, totally screwed. It's just pants, people. I just want pants. You'd think I'm asking for, like, pancakes in the desert. I just want pancakes at my home and pants to put on my body. That's all. Right.

Samantha [00:09:51]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:09:51]:
That's all. That's all.

Samantha [00:09:54]:
But you know what I found that day?

Lisa [00:09:55]:
Oh, I know.

Samantha [00:09:56]:
I. I realized my joy, my. My new joy, my. My saving grace on a Friday is a 7 ounce San Winter sangria.

Lisa [00:10:07]:
Yeah, but what happens when it's not winter and it's gone?

Samantha [00:10:09]:
They will always have sangria. So I will live. I will live with sangria in various forms.

Lisa [00:10:15]:
But it's weird, right? Because you don't eat the fruit in it?

Samantha [00:10:18]:
No, because it's gross.

Lisa [00:10:19]:
So why don't you just get red wine?

Samantha [00:10:22]:
Because I want the same taste of the sangria.

Lisa [00:10:25]:
To have sangria. Is that a special ingredient? Like a Shirley Temple? No, it's like that red shit in.

Samantha [00:10:29]:
No, it's a combination of things. It's red wine. It's. It's contro. I think there's like some other alcohol in it. And then they throw in some extra boobs.

Lisa [00:10:40]:
Yeah, it does.

Samantha [00:10:41]:
It has extra boost.

Lisa [00:10:42]:
And then you were so excited to find out that the seven ounce was on sale.

Samantha [00:10:45]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:10:46]:
Right. That kind of made your day, didn't it?

Samantha [00:10:48]:
I'm like, make it a seven.

Lisa [00:10:50]:
Yeah, right. I'll take a seven, please. Right. I don't understand sangria because I don't understand the fruit in it. Like when we had it in the summer, I ate the fruit because I thought it was delicious.

Samantha [00:11:00]:
Then eat the fruit.

Lisa [00:11:02]:
But you don't.

Samantha [00:11:02]:
But I'm not eating a cranberry because cranberries are really, really sour.

Lisa [00:11:06]:
Is that the only fruit that's in it?

Samantha [00:11:08]:
Well, there might be like an occasional orange.

Lisa [00:11:11]:
Well, nothing wrong with a yummy orange.

Samantha [00:11:13]:
Then you eat it.

Lisa [00:11:14]:
Oh, but you have a sensitive tummy, so you can't eat an orange. Right? Because your sensitive tummy will react weirdly to it.

Samantha [00:11:23]:
Do you need to keep saying that?

Lisa [00:11:24]:
I'm just saying. Is that not true? Tell us the truth.

Samantha [00:11:26]:
I don't know.

Lisa [00:11:27]:
How are you orange? Don't talk about my pants. I'm going to be wearing them again and again and again until I get new ones. Right. That's what's going to be happening.

Samantha [00:11:36]:
Oh, my gosh. Can you please just start wearing them with your shoes?

Lisa [00:11:40]:
Soon.

Samantha [00:11:41]:
Without a sock?

Lisa [00:11:42]:
Soon.

Samantha [00:11:42]:
Then last week I'll maybe make.

Lisa [00:11:44]:
Last week you said it was too soon to do that.

Samantha [00:11:46]:
It is too soon.

Lisa [00:11:47]:
So no, not yet.

Samantha [00:11:48]:
You know, we're gonna get another winter, so.

Lisa [00:11:50]:
So, no, not yet, but soon, okay? No, not yet. No, not yet, but soon. That's all I got for you, okay? Look at. I'm wiping my nose. I'm dripping my nose because I'm shaking my head at snow mold. Because this is what snow mold does. It makes you drippy, makes your nose all gross and drippy.

Samantha [00:12:09]:
It's because we're getting old and now we're allergic to things.

Lisa [00:12:11]:
Oh, God. Right? Why must snow punish us? Like, remember when you were a kid, snow was just a treat, and all you knew about snow is don't eat the yellow part of it. All you needed to know. That's the only lesson you needed to know about snow. Don't eat where it's yellow. Because we used to just eat snow. That was before there was shit in snow and before there was salt in snow and dirt and snow. We just eat snow.

Lisa [00:12:36]:
That's the beauty of Gen X, kid. Right. I'll just eat some snow now. You never see a kid eat snow now.

Samantha [00:12:43]:
You don't know where that snow's been.

Lisa [00:12:45]:
You don't know where that snow's been. Right? And then. And now it grows mold.

Samantha [00:12:49]:
Oh, my God. Well, underneath. Because it sits on the grass.

Lisa [00:12:53]:
No.

Samantha [00:12:53]:
Right.

Lisa [00:12:54]:
I don't always remember this problem.

Samantha [00:12:56]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:12:57]:
Right. I'm just saying. Right? You.

Samantha [00:12:59]:
For. You forget you have a problem.

Lisa [00:13:01]:
Well, I don't. I feel like I have a problem today as I wipe and sniff and snort whatever it is what it is. Right. It's snow mold. Right.

Samantha [00:13:14]:
Just be an adult.

Lisa [00:13:16]:
I can only do what I can do. Right.

Samantha [00:13:19]:
That's fine.

Lisa [00:13:20]:
Fine.

Samantha [00:13:20]:
That's fine, Lisa. That's all we ask for.

Lisa [00:13:22]:
Oh, you were complaining about snow mold the other. Not too long ago. I'm going to bed early because I got. I. I have allergies. Right. Was pretty much your conversation.

Samantha [00:13:31]:
Pretty much.

Lisa [00:13:32]:
Right. So, hi.

Samantha [00:13:33]:
And now I'm adjusting.

Lisa [00:13:34]:
And now you're adjusting to it. Okay, well, I'm just new to it, so this time next week, I will have adjusted.

Samantha [00:13:40]:
Whatever, man.

Lisa [00:13:41]:
Well, I'm just.

Samantha [00:13:42]:
Whatever.

Lisa [00:13:43]:
Well, don't call me out on the carpet if you think I'm not gonna. Right. You mess with the bull, you're gonna get the horns. Is that it? No. You mess with the bull, get the horns.

Samantha [00:13:51]:
Stop, stop, stop.

Lisa [00:13:53]:
I'm just saying, right? I'm feisty today.

Samantha [00:13:55]:
I'm battling a big slopey shoulders, and.

Lisa [00:13:57]:
I'm feisty, All right? So be ready, okay? Be ready.

Samantha [00:14:03]:
But I have an. I shake my head too.

Lisa [00:14:04]:
Okay.

Samantha [00:14:05]:
I shake my head at my ability to become bossy Sam when asked to help people shop.

Lisa [00:14:10]:
Hi, star. Star.

Samantha [00:14:12]:
It's hilarious.

Lisa [00:14:13]:
Not just when people ask you to shop, it's when people ask you anything. You become bossy Sam. You, you, you assert yourself in a way that makes you not. It's not hilarious, actually, if you ask those people, I think it is, right? You assert yourself in a way that's very bossy. Right? It's very bossy.

Samantha [00:14:34]:
I get stuff done.

Lisa [00:14:35]:
And was it, Was it. It was pointed out to you?

Samantha [00:14:39]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:14:39]:
Ah, good.

Samantha [00:14:41]:
I, however, did not take offense to it.

Lisa [00:14:43]:
Well, it's your, It's. It's what you do. I know it's what you do. So how can you take offense if you know you, you know that's what you do, right? You're over competitive in board games. You're over competitive in sports that you don't even play. And you're boss asked for help, right?

Samantha [00:15:01]:
And this is why I can't watch, like sports games. I can't watch football and things like that. Because.

Lisa [00:15:08]:
And this is why you only get asked to go shopping once a year. That's because now you've traumatized them.

Samantha [00:15:14]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:15:14]:
It's okay, right?

Samantha [00:15:15]:
It's because I make them try on stuff. That's why they, they think I'm bossy.

Lisa [00:15:19]:
Yeah, but you don't try on stuff when you go shopping.

Samantha [00:15:22]:
Well, it's because I know how to shop.

Lisa [00:15:24]:
That's not true. Because you hum and haw over a cheap. You hum and haw at the sail rack, right?

Samantha [00:15:32]:
No, I don't.

Lisa [00:15:33]:
Yes, you do.

Samantha [00:15:34]:
You'd be like, no, I don't.

Lisa [00:15:35]:
You'd be like, oh, I don't know, it's 9.99. And I'm like, if it doesn't work out, make it into a cloth, cut it up and clean your car. Right? It don't matter. Use it as a dust rack.

Samantha [00:15:46]:
All right.

Lisa [00:15:46]:
Thanks. But yes, I am. I, I think, I think you, you acknowledging your bossiness is, is a good sign.

Samantha [00:15:52]:
It is.

Lisa [00:15:53]:
I think that's a good sign. Right.

Samantha [00:15:54]:
It's however, not ever going to stop me.

Lisa [00:15:56]:
I don't think it will. I don't think it will. So I had a bit of a roller coaster day on at the beginning of the week and I didn't know why I was. I couldn't put my finger on it. I felt a little out of sorts. I said to my boss, I said, I don't know. I said, I'm just mean and cranky today. I don't think people noticed it.

Lisa [00:16:19]:
I was be. I was internalized my mean and crankiness. Right? Because I think to the people, I think I was still just friendly and outgoing.

Samantha [00:16:26]:
Nope. But you weren't.

Lisa [00:16:28]:
But I didn't feel it inside. In my heart, I felt mean and cranky. And then finally I realized it. I finally figured it out. My 55 years of horrible sleeping finally caught up to me. I finally hit my wall. I finally hit my wall and slid down, and I was like, I need sleep. I've gone 55 years with no sleep, and I'm tired.

Lisa [00:16:50]:
And now I'm mean and I'm cranky. Just one day.

Samantha [00:16:54]:
Okay, hand up.

Lisa [00:16:56]:
Yes. Samantha, question.

Samantha [00:16:59]:
I knew you were cranky on Monday without being told why you were. Without being told, which it only happened, I believe, in the afternoon after a few messages with you Monday morning. And I'm like, did she get off on the wrong foot? Did she fall out of her bed this morning? Because you were bitching.

Lisa [00:17:21]:
Right? Right.

Samantha [00:17:22]:
You were bitchy.

Lisa [00:17:23]:
Yeah.

Samantha [00:17:24]:
So you were pulling it off. Well, with me, I only am now. I'm only. Only now slightly afraid for the people who are around you.

Lisa [00:17:31]:
No, I know. I. I pay you. Whatever. You. You'll deal with it. My work.

Samantha [00:17:36]:
That's nice.

Lisa [00:17:37]:
I try really hard to, like, keep it in check because it doesn't happen very darn often. Right. But. But then there was just a string of events, and it was just one thing, one thing, one thing. And I'm like, I'm mean and cranky. Totally mean and cranky now for the rest of the day. Totally mean and cranky now.

Samantha [00:17:52]:
Did you hide away in your office?

Lisa [00:17:53]:
Yeah, I'm like, I need to go do some office work and not be around people because it's not gonna go over well.

Samantha [00:17:59]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:18:00]:
I was at the end of my rope.

Samantha [00:18:02]:
Yes. And they, I'm sure, were at the end of their rope with you as well.

Lisa [00:18:05]:
Meeting cranky Lisa is not that fun.

Samantha [00:18:08]:
You are not.

Lisa [00:18:09]:
Right. Good thing it doesn't happen very often.

Samantha [00:18:12]:
Because you were snarky, and I was like, girl needs to have a nap. That's what I think.

Lisa [00:18:16]:
Was it snarky or Kurt? You were both. That's a bit of both.

Samantha [00:18:20]:
And I believe. I believe you said you were like tate, right?

Lisa [00:18:25]:
That's exactly right. Yeah, absolutely.

Samantha [00:18:29]:
You were. The feeling of.

Lisa [00:18:31]:
Feeling of taint. I feel like taint. Well, you know, it's not very pleasant.

Samantha [00:18:38]:
No.

Lisa [00:18:38]:
Right.

Samantha [00:18:38]:
You know it's not.

Lisa [00:18:39]:
Yeah. Right.

Samantha [00:18:40]:
Not the right use of the word, but whatever.

Lisa [00:18:43]:
Exactly. Let's just talk for a moment about sibling hierarchy, shall we?

Samantha [00:18:49]:
Sure. I have three. How many do you have?

Lisa [00:18:52]:
I have.

Samantha [00:18:52]:
Or no, sorry. I have two.

Lisa [00:18:54]:
You have two.

Samantha [00:18:55]:
I just created one person.

Lisa [00:18:57]:
I have three siblings, but grew up with two siblings.

Samantha [00:19:01]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:19:02]:
Don't ask. It's confusing.

Samantha [00:19:04]:
It's a long story.

Lisa [00:19:05]:
However, there was so much sibling hierarchy in my life that it kind of needs to just be discussed because I lived in a world where the oldest sister trumped everything.

Samantha [00:19:20]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:19:21]:
And this started at a young age. So. And I don't know why I just thought about this, but I just thought about this. Right. We were in Niagara Falls. That's where our family used to go. I was 4 and my oldest sister was 8 and she took petunia petals. We were staying in like one of those, you know, trashy 70s hotels.

Lisa [00:19:40]:
Yeah. It all had like those big, you know, those big things, those big planters with all the petunias.

Samantha [00:19:46]:
Right.

Lisa [00:19:46]:
She took petunia petals and made a hopscotch board on the cement out front of the hotel rooms so we could play hopscotch.

Samantha [00:19:54]:
Okay.

Lisa [00:19:55]:
And then we got busted. And she trumped things so much that this four year old took the brunt of that punishment because she didn't do it. I did. And it took whatever punishment that would have been in the seventies. Probably a spanking. I'm sure there was a spanking before my parents realized that my older sister had convinced them that this four year old was able to draw a hopscotch board and number it when she can't even print yet. Because she four. Right.

Samantha [00:20:31]:
She's four.

Lisa [00:20:32]:
She can't do it.

Samantha [00:20:33]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:20:34]:
I feel it was like spanking. And all of a sudden it just stopped. Like, oh, shit, maybe we got the wrong one here. Right. And then we. I carried on with sibling hierarchy too, because when I was in high school, my kid's sister was in grade nine and she wanted a ride. And my mom and dad would be like, yeah, well, Lisa will take you. That's fine.

Lisa [00:20:50]:
Guess what? We're gonna go to school at 6. And I made her go to school that early if she wanted.

Samantha [00:20:56]:
Six in the morning if she wanted.

Lisa [00:20:57]:
Right. I was on student council, so I could go in the office and just hang out. Right. I didn't care. Right. You're horrible. It was bad. Did you have bad hierarchy?

Samantha [00:21:08]:
No, I did. Never did that.

Lisa [00:21:10]:
You never did anything like that?

Samantha [00:21:12]:
No.

Lisa [00:21:12]:
Really? Yeah, we did. Totally.

Samantha [00:21:14]:
I apparently was way better at being a sibling than you.

Lisa [00:21:17]:
Were. Yeah, I was. None of. None of us were good siblings till we became adults, really. Right, right. Till we became adults. We were not very good siblings to each other.

Samantha [00:21:30]:
Don't get me wrong. My sister and I fought, and I fought with my little brother as well, because I'm the middle kid, but whatever. Yeah, and. And, yeah, sure, Michelle probably got away with stuff, but I'm pretty sure I got away with my fair share as well.

Lisa [00:21:44]:
Right? I mean, so my sister would take money out of my mom's purse for her boyfriend, like, for gas. And my mom would know that there'd be 10 bucks missing. And we lived in hierarchy, fear so much that all three of us would get grounded because nobody would confess, and my mom would be like, lisa, did you take Mom's $10? No, Krista. And there's four years between each of us. Did you take it? No. Christy, did you? No. Okay, well, you're all grounded for March Break. And we would all.

Lisa [00:22:17]:
And we. Not one of us would. Would turn coat on her or tell or anything. We all just took the blame. Right?

Samantha [00:22:25]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:22:27]:
Because that's the power she had.

Samantha [00:22:29]:
That is the power.

Lisa [00:22:30]:
She ruled. She ruled with an iron fist.

Samantha [00:22:33]:
Yeah, well, older siblings have that kind.

Lisa [00:22:36]:
Of power, though, because they don't care, right?

Samantha [00:22:39]:
No, because they're like, I'm older than you.

Lisa [00:22:40]:
She buys. She buys the Tiger Beat magazine. She gets to read it first, even though dad gave her the money to buy it. Not really yours. The Christmas wish book comes. She gets to go through it first because she's the oldest. Right. She gets to pick the best chores.

Lisa [00:22:56]:
Like, it was just too much sibling hierarchy for me, for my liking.

Samantha [00:23:01]:
That's a lot, Lisa.

Lisa [00:23:02]:
It's a lot. It was a lot to. Lot to deal with.

Samantha [00:23:05]:
Did you guys fight? When? Like, about who got to sit in the front seat?

Lisa [00:23:09]:
Oh, yeah, all the time. Hey, all the time we fought about who got to sit in the front seat. Totally. And that was. And that was like a. That was like a brawl. Right, right. Like, because.

Lisa [00:23:21]:
Because they're like, how do you determine who gets to pick in the. Who gets to sit in the front seat? That should not be hierarchy.

Samantha [00:23:29]:
Well, okay, so back in the day when it was the 70s and we didn't really have seat belts.

Lisa [00:23:33]:
No, right. That's a good point, too. Right. But remember, there used to be that thing. I called it Calling. Call it. Yeah, I call front seat. And then we.

Samantha [00:23:42]:
I remember my siblings and I. Because there was three of us. I only remember us fighting about who was sitting where in the back seat. Not necessarily front seats.

Lisa [00:23:50]:
Really?

Samantha [00:23:51]:
Yeah. Because Michelle sat on the end of one and I sat on the end of the other. And then Trevor was in the middle, typically. And he hated that.

Lisa [00:23:59]:
Oh, okay. Interesting.

Samantha [00:24:00]:
And we would fight all the time.

Lisa [00:24:02]:
Yeah.

Samantha [00:24:03]:
That's my space. This is my space.

Lisa [00:24:05]:
Totally. Right?

Samantha [00:24:06]:
You're touching me.

Lisa [00:24:07]:
And your mom would be trying to slap you. Behind. Behind, Right. Doing one of those. Eh.

Samantha [00:24:12]:
Turn around, stop it.

Lisa [00:24:13]:
Yeah, totally. Yeah, we. Same.

Samantha [00:24:15]:
Right.

Lisa [00:24:15]:
Because Krista didn't like the middle spot and so she was. I'm on the hump. I'm on the hump. Right. Because there's always that little lump on the back seat. Right. I don't want to sit on the hump. And then she'd come with all her stuffies.

Lisa [00:24:28]:
Right. Oh my God. Yeah. That was kind of, I don't know, Sibling rivalry was pretty crazy back in the day, right? I.

Samantha [00:24:35]:
It must. I mean, obviously it's still a thing right now, but as. As the generations go through everything. But it, like, was it different for us then?

Lisa [00:24:45]:
I don't know. I still think. No, I think every. I think we still fought. Like everybody still fights. But maybe it's different to me. To me it feels like. As though siblings get along better today than what we used to.

Lisa [00:24:54]:
I think there's more things to occupy their time and entertain them. Right?

Samantha [00:24:59]:
No, true.

Lisa [00:24:59]:
We had nothing like, like how are we gonna. Like we're going to Ottawa. How are we enter. How are we occupying our time in the backseat of a car for a six hour drive? We're just pinching and poking and. Right. Like licking our hand and slapping your forehead. Right. Like we're just doing all that shit.

Lisa [00:25:13]:
Right. We don't care now we'd be on our phone, nobody would say a word.

Samantha [00:25:18]:
Nope.

Lisa [00:25:18]:
Right.

Samantha [00:25:18]:
You got an iPad, you got headphones.

Lisa [00:25:21]:
You'Re good to go, right?

Samantha [00:25:22]:
You are done.

Lisa [00:25:23]:
I think it's different now, right. I think, I think siblings get along better because they don't have to interact with each other. Right. We had to actually talk to them.

Samantha [00:25:31]:
There's more separation.

Lisa [00:25:32]:
Right. And I don't think it would have been a bad thing sometimes if we didn't always have to talk to them. Right?

Samantha [00:25:38]:
Well, I guess.

Lisa [00:25:38]:
But you know, I mean, it is what it is. I mean, it's just how it was back then, Right. I mean, we used to fight over who could. Who was going to punch who was going to hit the. The button at the escalator or elevator.

Samantha [00:25:50]:
Oh my God. Seriously?

Lisa [00:25:52]:
Right? Because I want to.

Samantha [00:25:53]:
I Want.

Lisa [00:25:54]:
I'm going to poke it. I want to. I want to do it. Yeah. Anything we could fight about, we would fight about. I want to sit in that seat at the restaurant. Oh, yeah. We fought about everything.

Samantha [00:26:04]:
I remember us fighting over the TV remote or who would go and have to turn the TV knob.

Lisa [00:26:09]:
Yeah, you do. Change the channel.

Samantha [00:26:11]:
No, you do it.

Lisa [00:26:12]:
Yeah. And then I'd be like, that's fine. I don't mind commercials. It's fine. I'll be fine with it. And, or, or you'd get up for 30 seconds and your sibling would change the channel and it'd be like, I was watching. You got up. I thought you left.

Lisa [00:26:25]:
No, you.

Samantha [00:26:26]:
Or you get up and they take your seat on your. On the couch. Were you on the couch?

Lisa [00:26:30]:
Yeah, totally. Right? Or sometimes, like when Krista was really young, I would get. I would get up and all of a sudden I'd be in a whole different room. And all of a sudden I'd hear, ow, that hurt. And my mom would be like, Lisa. I'd be like, are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? I'm not even in. I'm upstairs in my bedroom. Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:26:51]:
Oh, my goodness. It was kind of funny. It was kind of fun.

Samantha [00:26:53]:
You were in like the war zone for your entire childhood.

Lisa [00:26:57]:
It was. It was interesting. Some times we cut. Nobody got cut. And there was no slack, right? We got cut. No slack. We just did our man. Okay, but.

Lisa [00:27:11]:
But since we're kind of talking about like, like the Gen X days, right? It's with all. Okay, so I was kind of enraged. Samantha. I read an article about how everybody wants to cancel things. And I know they've canceled books and stuff like that. They. They want to cancel Bugs Bunny.

Samantha [00:27:30]:
Oh, it's. Is it too violent?

Lisa [00:27:31]:
It's too violent. And it's maybe a little racist.

Samantha [00:27:35]:
Oh, it's probably that.

Lisa [00:27:36]:
And. Okay, sure it is. But isn't the whole. But everything was back then. Everything. We didn't know better. That's why we. That's why it was there, right? Oh, yeah.

Lisa [00:27:51]:
If you watch a good Bugs Bunny. Bugs Bunny episode, it's chock full of just like racism. Yeah, right. Like nothing you'd wanna. You would wanna have necessarily blaring on today.

Samantha [00:28:05]:
No.

Lisa [00:28:05]:
Right. However, does it mean that it needs to be erased from history?

Samantha [00:28:10]:
I don't know. Well, why would you. It's part of our history.

Lisa [00:28:13]:
It's part of our history.

Samantha [00:28:14]:
Why would you. Why would you erase it?

Lisa [00:28:16]:
And at some point, right, as Oprah always says, Right. If you Know better. You do better. So back then, we'd have to assume we didn't know. So Bugs Bunny didn't know better.

Samantha [00:28:27]:
Okay, so we're going to cancel Bugs Bunny, but we're going to keep Ren and Stimpy.

Lisa [00:28:36]:
Hi. They're happy, happy, joy, joy. Happy, happy, joy, joy.

Samantha [00:28:40]:
And we're going to keep spongebob.

Lisa [00:28:42]:
Yeah, exactly.

Samantha [00:28:42]:
And we're going to keep. Is it the Southwest? No, it's the. The weird, like, Lego bauble people.

Lisa [00:28:50]:
I don't know who they are.

Samantha [00:28:51]:
It's a cartoon. Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:28:52]:
I don't watch cartoons.

Samantha [00:28:53]:
South Park. Thank you.

Lisa [00:28:55]:
Okay. South Park, Sure.

Samantha [00:28:57]:
That's horrible.

Lisa [00:28:58]:
That is horrible. Yeah, south park is horrible.

Samantha [00:29:02]:
We're gonna cancel Bugs Bunny.

Lisa [00:29:04]:
Canceling Bugs Bug Bunny.

Samantha [00:29:05]:
We're gonna keep those adult cartoons?

Lisa [00:29:07]:
Yeah.

Samantha [00:29:07]:
Is that what we're gonna do right now?

Lisa [00:29:09]:
Maybe in. Maybe in 50 years, they might cancel that.

Samantha [00:29:12]:
All right. All right. So are we getting rid of everything then?

Lisa [00:29:16]:
I don't know.

Samantha [00:29:16]:
Is that what's happening?

Lisa [00:29:17]:
Like, do we need to be that cancel culture that does that? Like, can't we just. Can't we teach people that this is what it was and this is what.

Samantha [00:29:25]:
It looked like back in the day?

Lisa [00:29:26]:
And now we know that this isn't how we present it. It's not right now, isn't that called education? Isn't that how we learn?

Samantha [00:29:34]:
Oh, my God. The movies from the 70s and the 80s, too.

Lisa [00:29:37]:
I like. Like, so. So Archie Bunker, George Jefferson. Right. Everybody. There's no 70s and 80s TV anymore.

Samantha [00:29:46]:
No.

Lisa [00:29:47]:
Right.

Samantha [00:29:47]:
Because you've taken everything away.

Lisa [00:29:48]:
You're taking everything away. Right. What about, like, Three's Company? Hi. Oh, yeah, right. Like how that was addressed. You know, there's, like. There is. There's totally lots.

Lisa [00:29:58]:
There's lots of negativity, but you didn't know it at the time. No, because that wasn't the time. Does it make it right? No, but it wasn't a time.

Samantha [00:30:10]:
But can you strip it all away?

Lisa [00:30:12]:
No. Right. Because it still happened.

Samantha [00:30:15]:
It still happened. People still remember it.

Lisa [00:30:17]:
Right. And it was a depiction of what was going on in society. Right, Right. So you wouldn't have that now because that's not what society does.

Samantha [00:30:24]:
Well, it's just like all the movies and TV shows that are happening now in the. In the last 10 years, that's a depiction of that generation and so on and so on. So are you gonna. Whatever you don't like about this generation, you're gonna erase, too, 10 years, 20 years from now.

Lisa [00:30:39]:
Exactly.

Samantha [00:30:41]:
That's not why people make those.

Lisa [00:30:43]:
It doesn't make a lot of sense.

Samantha [00:30:45]:
It shows us what we've done as.

Lisa [00:30:47]:
A society and how far we've come. Right, right. To know that I so badly wanna sing the song from Bugs Bunny. But I won't. I won't. But I want to, just to get my point across. But I won't. It just proves how far we've come.

Samantha [00:31:04]:
We've come a long, long way. I mean, even I, when I watch the Golden Girls too, like, there's some stuff in there, and I'm just like, I don't think we were really talking about. This is maybe not the way we should be talking. A little questionable, but it was back in the 80s.

Lisa [00:31:17]:
Back in the 80s, exactly. Right. So I don't know. I'm just saying. You know what? Stop canceling things.

Samantha [00:31:23]:
Not everything needs to be canceled.

Lisa [00:31:24]:
Not everything has to be canceled just because we don't like it. Right. Let's learn from it.

Samantha [00:31:28]:
Can we just slap a parental warning on it?

Lisa [00:31:30]:
I don't know. Or star, star.

Samantha [00:31:31]:
Isn't that what we do with things?

Lisa [00:31:32]:
Can we do star, star, winky? Like. Sorry, this is inappropriate. Winky, star, star, winky. Right. Winky, thumbs up. Right. You know, that's my solution to everything. Winky, thumbs up, winky face, thumbs up.

Lisa [00:31:47]:
Life is good, right? You're good, I'm good. We're good. Oh, yeah, right?

Samantha [00:31:52]:
Oh, God.

Lisa [00:31:53]:
That's totally what that means.

Samantha [00:31:55]:
Okay, well, whatever, people.

Lisa [00:31:56]:
I know.

Samantha [00:32:01]:
Let's be real. Like, ever since COVID things have been weird.

Lisa [00:32:04]:
Totally.

Samantha [00:32:05]:
And really, when they. When they took away the buffets, I think it just ruined society.

Lisa [00:32:09]:
You know, they took away the buffets, and then it. And then all of a sudden, taking away the buffets made us start thinking about the buffets and. And. And all the bad that came with the buffets.

Samantha [00:32:22]:
Right.

Lisa [00:32:22]:
Whereas back in the day, we were okay with that, right? Yeah, we. We didn't care that it was gross and disgusting.

Samantha [00:32:30]:
We ate off that. Multi. Yeah, multi, whatever.

Lisa [00:32:35]:
All the food you. How can I get.

Samantha [00:32:39]:
How can I get fried chicken and sushi in the same buffet?

Lisa [00:32:43]:
Right? Oh, yeah, right. Because if I just ordered off a menu, I have to pick. If I have a buffet, I can have all of it. Right.

Samantha [00:32:51]:
And really, I mean, honestly, not being able to eat at a buffet for a really long time probably helped us with our eating habits.

Lisa [00:32:57]:
Probably. Probably. Right.

Samantha [00:32:59]:
Because you no longer loaded up on everything.

Lisa [00:33:02]:
Right? Totally. Right.

Samantha [00:33:04]:
But then we did all discovery, you.

Lisa [00:33:08]:
Know, the, like, the food to go things. Yeah, yeah. No, not all of us did. Not all of us discovered that, Samantha. Right?

Samantha [00:33:18]:
Yes, you did.

Lisa [00:33:18]:
I never did that. You know what I had the other day? I had a fruit and nut cookie.

Samantha [00:33:26]:
What is that?

Lisa [00:33:27]:
It is a cookie that has no joy. It's a joyless cookie. It looks like. It looks like. Like a chocolate haystack with no chocolate. And it's just fruit, nut and like. Like that. Like sawdust.

Samantha [00:33:41]:
Where are you eating that?

Lisa [00:33:42]:
At the cafeteria. I thought.

Samantha [00:33:44]:
Why would you eat that?

Lisa [00:33:45]:
I thought I'd never tried one before. Like, I'll try that.

Samantha [00:33:48]:
Well, that's unfortunate.

Lisa [00:33:50]:
Ah, it was horrible. It was a joyless cookie. There was no joy in that cookie. Zero joy in that cookie.

Samantha [00:33:56]:
Was it fake fruit?

Lisa [00:33:58]:
Oh, probably. Probably because it tasted like. You know how fake fruit's a little chewier? Yeah. So probably it was fake fruit.

Samantha [00:34:06]:
Oh, was it like, fruitcake?

Lisa [00:34:09]:
No, it wasn't fruitcake. It wasn't that. No, it wasn't like that. Are you kidding me?

Samantha [00:34:12]:
I'm never kind of icky, gross fruit.

Lisa [00:34:14]:
This was just not quite that gross. But. But second better runner up.

Samantha [00:34:19]:
So you just thought, oh, looks interesting. I'm gonna eat this cookie. And then you thought it would bring you joy, and it did not.

Lisa [00:34:25]:
Well, cookies are supposed to bring you joy, right? That's the goal of a cookie, is to bring you joy.

Samantha [00:34:29]:
And you looked at that cookie, that lump of whatever it probably looked like, and you thought, it's gonna bring me joy.

Lisa [00:34:34]:
I did. I even, like, in my mind was like, fruit, nut, fruit, and nut cookie. All right, let's try fruit and nut cookie. Let's see. I was very positive about it. However, it did also end up being part of the. Part of the. The mean and cranky day.

Lisa [00:34:49]:
So it didn't help. Right? It didn't help that. That on my mean and cranky day that I was having a joyless cookie?

Samantha [00:34:55]:
You were.

Lisa [00:34:56]:
Okay, that didn't help at all.

Samantha [00:34:59]:
So there was layers that added to.

Lisa [00:35:01]:
Your cranky pissiness that just went on and on and on. Yeah, totally. Okay. Total layers.

Samantha [00:35:07]:
So for the person who had to deal with you on the. On the other end of the texting you, someone could, you know, a little warning. That would have been nice.

Lisa [00:35:17]:
I figure, if I can't be mean and cranky to you, who can I be mean and cranky to someone else? Well, right. You see a random. You seem to fit the bill. Right? Just seem to.

Samantha [00:35:27]:
Why?

Lisa [00:35:28]:
It just seemed to be you that day. Hi. You've taken. You've been mean and cranky to me.

Samantha [00:35:33]:
Well, sometimes you deserve that.

Lisa [00:35:34]:
Right. Okay, so there.

Samantha [00:35:35]:
Right.

Lisa [00:35:36]:
So this time, maybe you didn't deserve it. But then it's for all the times that I didn't lash out at you when you did deserve it.

Samantha [00:35:42]:
Really?

Lisa [00:35:42]:
Yes.

Samantha [00:35:43]:
I feel like I'm pretty saintly most of the time, when all the time.

Lisa [00:35:48]:
Maybe 10 times.

Samantha [00:35:50]:
I could have gone much harder on Friday night about your flood pant, but you and I will in the future. I chose peace.

Lisa [00:35:57]:
Okay, so. So. But this Friday, you'll choose to amp it up a little bit more.

Samantha [00:36:02]:
You wear something and I'm looking at it. I am like, totally scrutinize, scrutinize, scrutinize.

Lisa [00:36:09]:
Right? Totally. Right. As. As do I pull back a pony? Right.

Samantha [00:36:16]:
You are such a.

Lisa [00:36:20]:
Anyways, Right. I'm just saying I had a cookie that gave me no joy.

Samantha [00:36:23]:
Yeah. You know what? I blame that cookie because if it had just brought you a little bit of joy, it would have been. Might have got a pinch nicer.

Lisa [00:36:30]:
It would have been a bit easier. Right? There's a chance. There's a chance. There's a chance. Samantha.

Samantha [00:36:36]:
There's a chance. If you're cranky and you have a donut, you're more likely to, after eating that donut, be happy for at least 15 minutes.

Lisa [00:36:44]:
Yeah, absolutely. Right? Totally. Because that's the beauty of a donut. Right? So I thought maybe this cookie was going to do that. It did not. It took away whatever little bit of joy I had left. It took it away and it inserted mean and crankiness. That's what it did.

Samantha [00:36:58]:
Oh, yeah.

Lisa [00:37:00]:
And then that was the outcome. So I apologize.

Samantha [00:37:02]:
And then it just sort of. It was like a full circle moment. I started off cranky and then it ended up cranky.

Lisa [00:37:08]:
It just got worse and worse and worse. Right. And then I had to tap out because I was done. And you were like, I gotta go. Can't do this anymore today. Right. Or. Or else I'm not just gonna be mean and cranky in my head.

Lisa [00:37:21]:
I'm gonna be mean and cranky exterior to other people, which is not the Lisa that I like to present.

Samantha [00:37:28]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:37:29]:
That's not the true Lisa.

Samantha [00:37:31]:
So you say.

Lisa [00:37:32]:
I know it isn't. I know it isn't, Samantha. Right. I know it isn't. So.

Samantha [00:37:38]:
All right, all right. I need us to talk about something. And I feel like. I feel like we could maybe. It could be a movement. It could be a thing.

Lisa [00:37:45]:
Okay.

Samantha [00:37:46]:
Can we normalize needing time off to just do nothing?

Lisa [00:37:51]:
Well, I do that every weekend, so, yeah, we can. No, like Your work's not going to.

Samantha [00:37:56]:
Cover in our work.

Lisa [00:37:57]:
Your work's not going to cover it.

Samantha [00:37:59]:
You know how. Okay, just listen. Do you know how we have like sick days.

Lisa [00:38:02]:
Yes.

Samantha [00:38:03]:
And vacation days and sometimes you have a personal. Couple of personal days in there to do stuff.

Lisa [00:38:08]:
Yes.

Samantha [00:38:09]:
Let's just have like two days a month to just simply stay home and do nothing.

Lisa [00:38:14]:
Well, it would be nice, wouldn't it? Right?

Samantha [00:38:17]:
But like a little mental health break.

Lisa [00:38:18]:
But I don't think that. I don't think our work is gonna. Well, they do that. Right. Like when they give you a long weekend, like family day. Right. Labor Day.

Samantha [00:38:28]:
Like the workhorse she is, folks.

Lisa [00:38:31]:
Right. When. When you're forced to take an extra day off.

Samantha [00:38:35]:
When you're forced to take an extra.

Lisa [00:38:37]:
Right. When it's forced day off day.

Samantha [00:38:40]:
I think. I think that we should be excited that if there is a company out there. And I'm just saying this is maybe future thinking hoax is that we should have like one day a month where we can simply go, you know what? I'm going to take this day off and I'm going to do nothing.

Lisa [00:38:55]:
I don't want. I want to do.

Samantha [00:38:57]:
Not related to a vacation. It's not related to sickness.

Lisa [00:39:00]:
I want to be at work when I can. I took a sick day today. And my boss, this is how well she knows me, she said, don't be too cranky at yourself. I might. And I replied back saying, I'm totally cranky. Totally cranky. Right.

Samantha [00:39:17]:
Illness won out.

Lisa [00:39:19]:
Right. Sickness won out over work.

Samantha [00:39:23]:
Of course it did.

Lisa [00:39:23]:
Right. I hate that.

Samantha [00:39:25]:
I hate that because sometimes, Lisa, you just gotta do that.

Lisa [00:39:27]:
Well, that was today, Samantha.

Samantha [00:39:29]:
So normalize simply taking a nothing.

Lisa [00:39:32]:
I don't know.

Samantha [00:39:33]:
That's what we need to do. We need to have a nothing day a week.

Lisa [00:39:35]:
You get to a week. Saturday and Sunday do nothing.

Samantha [00:39:38]:
No, that Saturday is to like, got to go grocery shopping, got to do all the errands that didn't do during the week. Sunday is about resetting and getting ready for the Monday. Oh, I guess you need one day to simply do.

Lisa [00:39:51]:
I guess. I guess it's kind of true. Right?

Samantha [00:39:54]:
I guess you have those days. Actually. They're called earn days off.

Lisa [00:39:58]:
Right.

Samantha [00:39:58]:
You don't take them.

Lisa [00:39:59]:
Okay.

Samantha [00:40:00]:
Hi. Hi.

Lisa [00:40:01]:
I'm not going. I'm not divulging what I do or don't do. On to the next topic.

Samantha [00:40:11]:
No, because you're like the least likely person to just take a random day.

Lisa [00:40:15]:
Right? Exactly. Right. I like to be at work.

Samantha [00:40:19]:
I know.

Lisa [00:40:19]:
I Enjoy the people. I like the atmosphere. I like to be there. Okay. All right. You know where I wouldn't have liked to have been the other day? I wouldn't have liked to have been at the White House. Oh, bullying at its finest. Friends of the podcast.

Lisa [00:40:36]:
Bullying at its finest. Right? It was Pick on Zelensky Day. For those of you who don't know, Zelensky is the Ukraine president. This is what I got to say about this. Samantha. First off, President Butthead and Vice President Beavis, how about you chill? That's what they need to do. They need to chill. Leaders in war often dress like their people to show solidarity.

Lisa [00:41:02]:
Winston Churchill did it. Also, stop acting like it's a fashion faux pas. You got bigger fish to fry.

Samantha [00:41:11]:
Right?

Lisa [00:41:11]:
You got bigger fish to fry. These two goons went just hardcore. Hey, pay us back your money. Like, bitch better have my money. Don't act like you don't owe me. Right? That's what I want to say. I want to see that spoof done on Saturday Night Live. Somebody dressed as Trump and somebody dressed as Vance.

Lisa [00:41:33]:
Bitch better have my money. Don't act like you don't owe me. Right.

Samantha [00:41:37]:
Don't act like you forgot.

Lisa [00:41:39]:
Right. I call a shot a shot. Right. Oh, my goodness. I'm not going to get too into it because I'll just get so riled up.

Samantha [00:41:48]:
Oh, don't get work.

Lisa [00:41:50]:
This is just crazy. That is so embarrassing. So embarrassing. Right.

Samantha [00:41:57]:
Like, it wasn't their finest moment.

Lisa [00:41:58]:
Not their finest moment. And it won't be their last finest moment either.

Samantha [00:42:02]:
I just. I just feel like it's another distraction and another trick.

Lisa [00:42:05]:
Like a trickery.

Samantha [00:42:07]:
There's something so.

Lisa [00:42:08]:
Oh, they were saying in the View that they felt that it was staged. That. That. Because technically, Sunny Hostin was saying that technically, when they're in a room like that Vice president would never speak.

Samantha [00:42:20]:
No. And which is surprising that he did.

Lisa [00:42:22]:
Right. And so that's what she said. She goes. That's why she thinks it was a staged thing, that they had planned to do it.

Samantha [00:42:28]:
Trump and Vance and Zelensky didn't know that, though.

Lisa [00:42:32]:
Probably not.

Samantha [00:42:33]:
Oh, right. Interesting.

Lisa [00:42:35]:
I don't know. I mean, whatever, right? We get. We're a world. We're a world divided. Some people like Trump, some people don't. The Trump supporters, all the non Trump supporters are like, you guys can't be happy with what's going on. And the Trump supporters are like, oh, we're good. We're good.

Lisa [00:42:52]:
Right? We saw. This is what we saw coming. We were in the Manifesto. This is what he said he was going to do, and he's doing it. We can't go there. No. But you got bigger fish to fry, right?

Samantha [00:43:03]:
You do? Yeah. I tell you, somebody go out there and do a spoof, a meme of them both with the Rihanna song. Because I'd watch that.

Lisa [00:43:15]:
I would watch that, too.

Samantha [00:43:16]:
All right, Lisa, you and I both watched the Oscars on Sunday.

Lisa [00:43:19]:
We did, right? I hadn't planned on watching all of it.

Samantha [00:43:23]:
I did. I had planned on watching them.

Lisa [00:43:25]:
I had not. I said to Mike, I'm only gonna watch the beginning.

Samantha [00:43:29]:
It was good, though.

Lisa [00:43:30]:
What?

Samantha [00:43:31]:
The whole show.

Lisa [00:43:32]:
The beginning was.

Samantha [00:43:33]:
No, the beginning was good.

Lisa [00:43:34]:
I don't know.

Samantha [00:43:34]:
Whatever.

Lisa [00:43:35]:
Like, I don't really care about that too much. Like the Wicked songs.

Samantha [00:43:40]:
You don't care about anything like that? Like, let's be real. You don't like anything to do with musicals. No. Or singing?

Lisa [00:43:49]:
No.

Samantha [00:43:49]:
Or anything like.

Lisa [00:43:51]:
No, it's not my favorite thing.

Samantha [00:43:52]:
That was not your forte. I thought it was beautiful and wonderful.

Lisa [00:43:55]:
Yeah.

Samantha [00:43:56]:
And I thought Conan O'Brien's, you know, monologue was pretty good.

Lisa [00:43:59]:
I thought you. I thought he did okay. I thought he did okay. Well, I thought the highlight of the night was Mick Jagger.

Samantha [00:44:06]:
No, I thought. I don't know. I don't know where you got that from.

Lisa [00:44:09]:
I thought he was funny. He made me laugh out loud.

Samantha [00:44:11]:
Oh, okay.

Lisa [00:44:12]:
Yeah, I did. I thought that was the highlight.

Samantha [00:44:14]:
I don't know. I don't.

Lisa [00:44:15]:
I just.

Samantha [00:44:15]:
I don't. I don't love Mick Jagger.

Lisa [00:44:17]:
I don't love him either, but I liked him. Like, I liked him there.

Samantha [00:44:20]:
Oh, okay. But Kieran Culkin, he really is just. He does not disappoint.

Lisa [00:44:25]:
No, he's pretty. He's pretty.

Samantha [00:44:26]:
He's pretty full. Tyler goes to accept an award. Some weird stuff happens. It just comes out of his.

Lisa [00:44:32]:
Yeah. I think he's a bit of an odd duck. Right?

Samantha [00:44:35]:
Yes. But I'm enjoying it.

Lisa [00:44:36]:
Are you? I don't enjoy it that much.

Samantha [00:44:38]:
Well, I watched the movie that he was in.

Lisa [00:44:40]:
Oh, I did not. I didn't watch any of those movies.

Samantha [00:44:42]:
Yeah, I watched. It was pretty. It was good. It was actually a really good movie. Yeah.

Lisa [00:44:46]:
No, but. Yeah, you can't get through O.J. simpson.

Samantha [00:44:49]:
No. Because that's really boring.

Lisa [00:44:51]:
It's real life.

Samantha [00:44:52]:
It.

Lisa [00:44:53]:
What really happened. It's a real true story.

Samantha [00:44:55]:
And apparently. Well, I was really surprised that the big winner of the night was Anora. I felt like that was the sleeper movie.

Lisa [00:45:01]:
I never. I was disappointed. Demi Moore didn't win. No, she was supposed to. She was the favorite. Yeah, right. And Timothee Chalamet.

Samantha [00:45:10]:
Chalamet, right.

Lisa [00:45:11]:
Apparently he was in yellow for the Ukraine. They said.

Samantha [00:45:14]:
Oh, okay.

Lisa [00:45:15]:
I don't know. That seemed pretty bold to me overall, you know what I mean? Do I love the Oscars? I used to love the Oscars when I cared more about the movies, when I knew the movies, when Netflix is the biggest producer of movies. It seems odd, right? To me.

Samantha [00:45:32]:
Seems there's something wrong with the movie.

Lisa [00:45:34]:
So I guess I kind of. In my heart, I boycotted a little bit, but I still watched it. It was fine. I know you were saying you. Was it you saying you wish that they let people do all their talking?

Samantha [00:45:46]:
I. My. I shake my head, Ivan. I shake my head that they. I wish that they would allow them to keep talking.

Lisa [00:45:53]:
Did you want to be there till today?

Samantha [00:45:55]:
Well, I want to hear what they have to say.

Lisa [00:45:57]:
I hate when they play them off. You know, it's when Ricky Gervais used to host whatever. Whatever wedding he used to do, and he's like, here's the rules, right? Thank your God, thank your parents. Off, Right? Totally. Right? Thank your God, thank your parents, and off. And I'm like kind of short and sweet to the point.

Samantha [00:46:14]:
And that's why he's never been asked bad.

Lisa [00:46:16]:
I know, right? But. Oh, my God. Hi, Adrian. Brody. What? So Adrian. What's his name? Brody.

Samantha [00:46:21]:
Adrian. Yeah. Yeah.

Lisa [00:46:23]:
I think that was kind of a self righteous, pompous. He took. This is what happens. He takes time away from others.

Samantha [00:46:32]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:46:33]:
Right. So either you have it be 24 hours long so everybody can think, am I grade two teacher, right? My best friend in kindergarten, or, or, or you just say, like, sorry, you hear the music. Get off the stage. Yeah, Right.

Samantha [00:46:49]:
Can't you thank the world record?

Lisa [00:46:51]:
If it was me, you know what I would do? I would send everybody a text message saying, hey, in case I win. Thank you. That's all. That's it. That's all I would do. That's all I would do. That's enough about that.

Samantha [00:47:04]:
All right. Well, I felt it was. It was an I shake my head moment at the Oscars because I felt it was rude to play off people.

Lisa [00:47:10]:
Well. And I think it's not rude to play them off. Play them off sooner.

Samantha [00:47:13]:
We. We are on opposite sides of that, Lisa.

Lisa [00:47:16]:
That's why there's cracks in our friendship, Right? It's for reasons like that Samantha, right there.

Samantha [00:47:23]:
Right there.

Lisa [00:47:23]:
Bailey Sims, friend of the podcast, sent us a message this week to let us know that if we're going to go to Hooters, we better hurry up and do it because they're closing 300 stores.

Samantha [00:47:34]:
Oh, gosh. Well, here's hoping it's the one it's asking for.

Lisa [00:47:37]:
No, I hope it's not, because we need to go and have the wings. We have to try the world's famous Hooter wings.

Samantha [00:47:41]:
I'm going to Hooters.

Lisa [00:47:42]:
Just. Can we just try the wings?

Samantha [00:47:45]:
Only if Michelle comes.

Lisa [00:47:47]:
Fine.

Samantha [00:47:48]:
She has. She said that we need to look for a new place.

Lisa [00:47:51]:
She always does say we need to look for a new place. So maybe it's Hooters.

Samantha [00:47:55]:
Right?

Lisa [00:47:55]:
Look what we got, AJJ we got the hhu. We got the Hooters for you. You never know. Oh, my God. I'm just saying Nancy would go fancy. Nancy would love to go to Hooters. I'm sure she would not care. I'm just here for the food.

Samantha [00:48:08]:
I'm here for the wings, Right?

Lisa [00:48:10]:
I'm here for the wings. Right? She would not care.

Samantha [00:48:14]:
You know what it is? I'm not surprised they're closing 300 stores. Why, at some point are you that great?

Lisa [00:48:22]:
We don't know because we're afraid to go in.

Samantha [00:48:25]:
I don't. It's just a restaurant that has an owl with big eyes and the girls have Hooters.

Lisa [00:48:31]:
Right.

Samantha [00:48:31]:
It's an old concept.

Lisa [00:48:33]:
Totally, totally. But we can't judge the food.

Samantha [00:48:36]:
We don't know if we're canceling Bugs Bunny, but we allow Hooters to still be around. There's something wrong with the dynamic there.

Lisa [00:48:45]:
That's a good point. Right.

Samantha [00:48:46]:
Like, let's be real.

Lisa [00:48:48]:
That's very true. Right.

Samantha [00:48:49]:
So it's totally okay for girls in short shorts and tight tank tops or tight T shirts with scoop necklines to walk around.

Lisa [00:48:59]:
But if you think about it, giving.

Samantha [00:49:01]:
You drinks and wings.

Lisa [00:49:02]:
But if you think about it, the Montana girls aren't much different. They just wear a plaid flannel shirt over top of their little clothing. Right.

Samantha [00:49:11]:
But it's called Hooters.

Lisa [00:49:13]:
Oh, that's true.

Samantha [00:49:13]:
And it has a reputation.

Lisa [00:49:15]:
It does. It does.

Samantha [00:49:16]:
So if you're going to cancel Bugs Bunny people.

Lisa [00:49:20]:
Right.

Samantha [00:49:21]:
Get all the Hooters.

Lisa [00:49:22]:
Where does Hooters fit into the cancellation?

Samantha [00:49:26]:
And if you're going to go after Hooters, why do we still have strip joints?

Lisa [00:49:29]:
Well, well. Hi. Oh, my God. You can. We're not tackling that. We're not tackling that. Ban all strip joints. Samantha's saying, I'm not saying, like, if.

Samantha [00:49:41]:
You'Re gonna cancel a cartoon.

Lisa [00:49:43]:
Right, right.

Samantha [00:49:45]:
There are other things larger than that.

Lisa [00:49:49]:
That's true. That affect society, that are a little bit risque. Risque. Samantha. Right. Oh, my God.

Samantha [00:49:58]:
Get your head out of your ass, people, and figure it out.

Lisa [00:50:02]:
Good point. Right? Good point. All right. We will not be going to Hooters. Haley. Samantha's pulling rank on this one.

Samantha [00:50:13]:
I feel like I am.

Lisa [00:50:14]:
She does not want the wings.

Samantha [00:50:16]:
I do not want the wing.

Lisa [00:50:17]:
That's fine.

Samantha [00:50:19]:
Okay. But you know what? You know how people go, oh, I trust the research. I trust it.

Lisa [00:50:23]:
Yeah.

Samantha [00:50:24]:
I've googled, I've done my research.

Lisa [00:50:26]:
Yeah.

Samantha [00:50:26]:
When people say, I've done my research. And I'm like, so you've googled some shit.

Lisa [00:50:30]:
Right. You typed in a sentence into Google.

Samantha [00:50:33]:
Excellent. You read a couple articles. So now you feel.

Lisa [00:50:36]:
I would even say a couple articles. I say you read the first thing that pops up.

Samantha [00:50:39]:
Right?

Lisa [00:50:40]:
Right.

Samantha [00:50:40]:
You researched up.

Lisa [00:50:41]:
Because now it seems smarter because it's generated by AI. So that first thing seems more real. Right. That's made my. I don't even read. I read less now online.

Samantha [00:50:52]:
Anyways, that phrase goes with this statement, middle children are superior. Oh. Because I trust the research.

Lisa [00:51:02]:
Trust the research. And you're a middle child.

Samantha [00:51:04]:
I'm a middle child and I trust the research. Because Google doesn't lie. Social media does not lie. Right. That's where we get all our information.

Lisa [00:51:14]:
Absolutely. The tick tock, the Twitter. It's all true. I agree.

Samantha [00:51:19]:
The researchers and social media have said that the middle childs are superior.

Lisa [00:51:23]:
I'll take that. I'm a middle child too.

Samantha [00:51:26]:
I like everyone without having any other knowledge or background to this topic, immediately believe the data. I have no data, but I'm immediately believe it.

Lisa [00:51:37]:
I buy it.

Samantha [00:51:37]:
I don't need to have. I don't need to go any further.

Lisa [00:51:39]:
No scientific.

Samantha [00:51:40]:
Little children are superior.

Lisa [00:51:41]:
No scientific proof needed here. I agree 100%. You know what else I think that's funny. This is something for you. And I'm being sincere. Okay. Apparently bedhead is trending.

Samantha [00:51:55]:
I don't have bedhead.

Lisa [00:51:57]:
I think this is a trend you can jump on.

Samantha [00:51:59]:
No, I don't want to do that.

Lisa [00:52:01]:
I think you could.

Samantha [00:52:02]:
You know what? You do it.

Lisa [00:52:05]:
It's too hard for people with short hair.

Samantha [00:52:08]:
Really?

Lisa [00:52:08]:
Yeah.

Samantha [00:52:09]:
Just stand it up.

Lisa [00:52:10]:
No, but then we have like big bald spots at the back. Right? So that's not good. Right.

Samantha [00:52:13]:
Like, well, that's unfortunate. Yeah, but that's bedhead.

Lisa [00:52:16]:
But you have longer hair. I Think bedhead.

Samantha [00:52:18]:
No, I'm not.

Lisa [00:52:19]:
Can you just try?

Samantha [00:52:21]:
No.

Lisa [00:52:21]:
Can you just try and we'll film it?

Samantha [00:52:23]:
No.

Lisa [00:52:24]:
Let's just try.

Samantha [00:52:25]:
No.

Lisa [00:52:26]:
One time.

Samantha [00:52:27]:
No.

Lisa [00:52:28]:
What would it hurt? I've seen you in the morning. Now I have to, like, secretly film that. Can't you just say here?

Samantha [00:52:33]:
No. Can't you just take a picture? I have a bedhead. I put my hair up in a ponytail thing and I.

Lisa [00:52:38]:
Is it a pullback pony?

Samantha [00:52:40]:
It's a pullback pony. No, it's on the top of my head, Lisa. I pull my hair back off my face. I don't sleep with it down. Too hot back. It's too hot.

Lisa [00:52:49]:
But then if you took that out, that would be bedhead, right?

Samantha [00:52:52]:
No, I'm not doing it.

Lisa [00:52:54]:
I knew you wouldn't. It's one more thing we can't do.

Samantha [00:52:58]:
You do it.

Lisa [00:52:58]:
I'm not doing it.

Samantha [00:53:00]:
Actually, Michelle probably has the best bed.

Lisa [00:53:02]:
She has great bedhead. She really does have good bedhead, that girl. She goes through. She has a tough sleep, that girl. Right? She has a tough, tough sleep. Okay, you know what? I'm shaking my head. I'm shaking my head at bread crust. I don't want to get into it.

Lisa [00:53:19]:
I'm just saying, why is it needed?

Samantha [00:53:22]:
You don't want to. Okay, so you're shaking your head at it, but you don't want to.

Lisa [00:53:25]:
I don't want to get into it.

Samantha [00:53:26]:
Bread crusts are needed for what? Do you think bread is made?

Lisa [00:53:29]:
I know, but. But sandwiches taste really good without it.

Samantha [00:53:33]:
So you want every sandwich to be crustless?

Lisa [00:53:35]:
Yes. Every one of them.

Samantha [00:53:37]:
What are you, royalty?

Lisa [00:53:38]:
Well, maybe. I don't know. It's just better. Who wants that crust? Shake my head.

Samantha [00:53:45]:
Why do you hate it so much? I hate it.

Lisa [00:53:47]:
I just. Why? I just do. Not everything that I hate has to have an answer or a reason. It makes perfect sense, Samantha.

Samantha [00:53:57]:
Perfect, actually.

Lisa [00:53:59]:
It's just crust.

Samantha [00:54:00]:
Ugh.

Lisa [00:54:01]:
It's like, I don't want to eat it. I don't want to eat it. I don't want crust in my life.

Samantha [00:54:07]:
You're like, if you were five, you'd be stomping your foot on.

Lisa [00:54:11]:
I would be. I'm very adamant about crust. Right. Don't want it in my life.

Samantha [00:54:15]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:54:17]:
Sorry. Seriously, just how I feel.

Samantha [00:54:19]:
Okay, well, be five about it.

Lisa [00:54:21]:
Right? Can't change how I feel. I don't like crust.

Samantha [00:54:24]:
Okay.

Lisa [00:54:24]:
I don't think it's necessary.

Samantha [00:54:26]:
It's a strong feeling that you're sharing with the world.

Lisa [00:54:28]:
Super strong.

Samantha [00:54:29]:
Yeah, it's unnecessary.

Lisa [00:54:31]:
I've done my research. Oh, off. It's not necessary.

Samantha [00:54:36]:
It's not necessary.

Lisa [00:54:38]:
That's what my research says.

Samantha [00:54:40]:
All right, well, okay. So the deviled egg dip.

Lisa [00:54:46]:
Oh, didn't this backfire, then?

Samantha [00:54:48]:
You were not excited about. Because you felt it was, like, sacrilegious.

Lisa [00:54:52]:
Totally.

Samantha [00:54:52]:
For a deviled egg. And people really, like.

Lisa [00:54:55]:
Everybody's like, I'll try it. I'll try it. I'll try it. I'll try it. Right?

Samantha [00:54:59]:
Oh, nobody. I don't think anybody disagreed with you.

Lisa [00:55:03]:
No, I think. Only I didn't like it.

Samantha [00:55:06]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:55:06]:
Right.

Samantha [00:55:07]:
Yeah. Everyone was like, yeah, no, that sounds great.

Lisa [00:55:09]:
Yeah.

Samantha [00:55:09]:
Give me a cracker. Give me it. I'll dip it.

Lisa [00:55:12]:
Oh, I don't understand, because it's just deviled eggs all chopped up, but it's not good.

Samantha [00:55:17]:
Or really, when you think about it, it's egg salad.

Lisa [00:55:20]:
Yeah. Which it should. That's not. It should be on a sandwich then, right? You're not convincing me.

Samantha [00:55:28]:
I think you should.

Lisa [00:55:29]:
No, you're not convincing me. I think you should like it.

Samantha [00:55:31]:
I think that you just need to wrap your brain.

Lisa [00:55:33]:
I'm not going to. And I'm not going to eat it either, neither. Things I'm not doing. I'm anti. No, thank you.

Samantha [00:55:43]:
Oh, and I will. I will mention that my. My Wednesday. Would you rather really had people kind of going, what, this one lady, one of our list or one of our joiners in was like, I'm not answering this question until the question changes.

Lisa [00:56:00]:
And I said I would lick.

Samantha [00:56:02]:
Huh?

Lisa [00:56:02]:
Right. You never answer. So nobody ever knows what you're gonna do.

Samantha [00:56:06]:
Right. Because it's my question that I pose. I don't need to answer.

Lisa [00:56:09]:
And did we determine whether or not Luke wears pajamas?

Samantha [00:56:12]:
Okay, so Luke didn't really answer that question, but he did say, oh.

Lisa [00:56:21]:
He.

Samantha [00:56:21]:
Thinks that we're just a bunch of creepy people wanting to know what people are wearing for PJs or if they're wearing PJs at all. And I'm like, we be creeping.

Lisa [00:56:29]:
We be creeping. We'd be creeping. Right? And he didn't answer. Makes me think he's not in pjs. Maybe not, maybe not, maybe not. So I don't know. Yeah. Luke, if you have something to dispute that, please let us know or send us a picture.

Lisa [00:56:45]:
Not only if you're in PJs.

Samantha [00:56:48]:
Please don't send us a picture.

Lisa [00:56:49]:
Don't send us a picture. Maybe that's the wrong thing to do. Okay. I joined the fa. The fantasy Baseball league again.

Samantha [00:56:55]:
Of course you did.

Lisa [00:56:56]:
I did, but just one team, so I think I can do it. Spring training, right? We're six and three. We're doing good.

Samantha [00:57:03]:
Oh, my God. You have, like, 152 games, don't you?

Lisa [00:57:06]:
162. Yeah, but I'm ready for it because I just. Last time I joined five leagues, it was too much. This time, just one. One team.

Samantha [00:57:15]:
Why would you have joined?

Lisa [00:57:16]:
Because I kept wanting a better team, so I kept joining other teams. That's how that worked out. That's all I have to say about that.

Samantha [00:57:24]:
Got it.

Lisa [00:57:24]:
I can't. I can't. I can't report. I'm just giving you the highlight that I've joined. Stay tuned. Stay tuned. Yeah. That's what I.

Samantha [00:57:34]:
Stay tuned. To Sam being roped into being the fake fan for baseball, and she's not excited.

Lisa [00:57:39]:
That's fine. You'll be fine. You'll. You'll be just fine. I've seen it in action. It. It. It will come to fruition.

Samantha [00:57:47]:
If they. If they get anywhere. If they get to finals or they actually get to, like.

Lisa [00:57:52]:
Yeah, well, we won't know till October, so you got a little bit of time.

Samantha [00:57:55]:
Oh, my God. Seriously? That's how long baseball is.

Lisa [00:57:58]:
That's how long baseball is.

Samantha [00:58:00]:
Why?

Lisa [00:58:01]:
Because they play that many games.

Samantha [00:58:03]:
When does football start back up?

Lisa [00:58:04]:
Oh, I don't know. It's like Labor Day. Everything starts soon. Oh, yeah. Hi, sports fan.

Samantha [00:58:12]:
So much involved with sports.

Lisa [00:58:14]:
Everybody. Everybody loves sports but you, right?

Samantha [00:58:18]:
It's a lot of dedication.

Lisa [00:58:19]:
It's a lot of dedication.

Samantha [00:58:23]:
Okay. But you know what? We want you to be dedicated, too. We want you to be dedicated to us.

Lisa [00:58:27]:
Totally.

Samantha [00:58:28]:
Right? We're proud to be part of the Women in Media Network, and we want to hear. We would love to hear what. What you like about us. Download and subscribe and share with a friend and leave a review. Did you add that in? Because I did not add that in, you stupid.

Lisa [00:58:45]:
I would. I say to you every week. I say to you, you better read through. I've made some changes. I did.

Samantha [00:58:50]:
I didn't see that.

Lisa [00:58:51]:
Well, you missed it then. You didn't scroll all the way down.

Samantha [00:58:54]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:58:56]:
What you hear. Download, you know, subscribe, share with a friend and leave a review.

Samantha [00:59:00]:
Leave a review. But I'm just gonna say that this is why she can't be part of things sometimes. This is why I can't give her control, because she fucks around with things.

Lisa [00:59:12]:
Just mess around. Oh, yeah. And that went just as I thought. It would.

Samantha [00:59:18]:
Awesome.

Lisa [00:59:19]:
Awesome.
