Gods B List: A Spiritual Shortcut With A Side Of Judgement

Lisa [00:00:06]:
Have you ever found yourself totally caught off guard not knowing someone's name but kind of recognizing the face and you're just praying for a clue? Samantha.

Samantha [00:00:17]:
All the time. All the time.

Lisa [00:00:21]:
What is with that?

Samantha [00:00:22]:
It's the worst. It's the worst because now. Now you're involved in. With an awkward conversation where you're trying desperately not to have to use a name.

Lisa [00:00:32]:
Yeah. Until. Until you're totally trying not to use the name. Right. Until they drop the hint and that you've been waiting for that hint and all of a sudden, magically, you realize the name, and then you start using the name and you're overcompensating the name. Right. Let's say the name is Peggy. Oh, hey, Peggy.

Lisa [00:00:51]:
It's like that's. You just say it and you say it and you say it.

Samantha [00:00:54]:
Peggy, you look great. Peggy. Have you lost weight? Peggy, what have you been doing with yourself?

Lisa [00:01:00]:
Peggy, how you been, girl? Right? And you know that for the first 10 minutes of that conversation, Peggy was like, she's got no clue who I am.

Samantha [00:01:08]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:01:09]:
All the time she got no clue. That's the worst that happened to me today. And I was like, I kind of recognize your face. I certainly don't know your name. Dear Lord, Lordy, Lord, Lord. He sent a girl a clue, and then finally she's like, thanks for the letter of reference. And I'm like, ha. Dang.

Lisa [00:01:31]:
There was the clue. No, there was the clue because it was from years ago. Years ago.

Samantha [00:01:37]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:01:38]:
Years ago. Right? Like, it's like people forget your age.

Samantha [00:01:42]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:01:43]:
That. You move on and you just don't remember anything.

Samantha [00:01:45]:
How do people remember other people? I just. You know what? That's my problem.

Lisa [00:01:49]:
Right?

Samantha [00:01:49]:
I don't remember squat.

Lisa [00:01:53]:
That's why if I think I see somebody I might know, but I don't know their name, I'm hiding. I'm going a different direction. I'm not stopping to say hi.

Samantha [00:02:01]:
I totally do the same thing.

Lisa [00:02:04]:
I. How many times have we been out and we've seen somebody that we know that we worked with or that we used to, you know, that used to come into where we used to work, and we're like, ah, we don't know who it is, but we know. Duck and hide. D. Hide.

Samantha [00:02:17]:
We hightail it out. We go another direction. We do all the things.

Lisa [00:02:21]:
As much as I wanted to eat here. Not tonight. Not tonight. We are gone, done, out of here. Just like that. Oh, my God. Samantha.

Samantha [00:02:31]:
Oh, my God. Yes. It's horrible. So horrible.

Lisa [00:02:35]:
Oh. But yet it happens all the time, constantly.

Samantha [00:02:39]:
And as we get older, it only gets worse.

Lisa [00:02:41]:
Totally. Hello, friends of the podcast.

Samantha [00:02:44]:
Hello, everybody.

Lisa [00:02:48]:
Oh, Samantha, sometimes things are just a little bit crazy.

Samantha [00:02:51]:
Hey, I know.

Lisa [00:02:53]:
You know what I need to do? I need to unpack a conversation with you because you're my go to, right? You're my ride and die. I need to unpack a conversation that has me realizing that I still got it.

Samantha [00:03:10]:
I don't want to have that conversation.

Lisa [00:03:11]:
We're gonna have it.

Samantha [00:03:12]:
Oh, God.

Lisa [00:03:13]:
Have it. Okay. Totally having it. Totally having it. This girl.

Samantha [00:03:18]:
I don't want to.

Lisa [00:03:19]:
This girl is on fire.

Samantha [00:03:23]:
Okay. All right. I can't wait to burst your bubble. Okay. And also, I would like to also talk about how potentially, Lisa, you might have started a new hair trend, which, frankly, shocks me. But whatever. I know.

Lisa [00:03:38]:
Shut the front door.

Samantha [00:03:40]:
I know.

Lisa [00:03:41]:
At some point, I knew it would come around. Right? I knew it would be on trend. But you know what, though? You're gonna get mad. I already know you're gonna get mad. But always the friends of the podcast could get mad, and they might be like, again. But guess what? Tis the season to keep talking about God.

Samantha [00:03:58]:
I know.

Lisa [00:03:59]:
It is the season. I got more questions.

Samantha [00:04:02]:
In case anybody didn't know. That's Lisa. She. She finds a topic, she loves it and kills it to death. So bear with us.

Lisa [00:04:10]:
Chances are God only comes up usually just this time of year.

Samantha [00:04:14]:
It really is just sort of this time of year.

Lisa [00:04:16]:
But I get that. Yeah, that's. That's when I start to feel that one with.

Samantha [00:04:19]:
Okay.

Lisa [00:04:20]:
Right.

Samantha [00:04:20]:
But I think you have. And I shake my head, don't you?

Lisa [00:04:23]:
Oh, Samantha, you know what? I'm watching the TV the other day. Whatever happened to commercials that just. They, they, they. They're truthful. Whatever happened to a good old truthful commercial? I am shaking my head at how delicious fast food burgers look on the tv.

Samantha [00:04:40]:
Oh.

Lisa [00:04:41]:
As you know, they don't. They don't look like that in real life.

Samantha [00:04:45]:
No, they don't.

Lisa [00:04:46]:
They used to back in the day. Back in the day.

Samantha [00:04:49]:
Back in the day. Back in our day. Old little kitties.

Lisa [00:04:53]:
You could. You could trust the tv. When you saw the A W. Matzo burger. Yeah. You knew. Your mouth started to salivate and you knew that's what you were getting.

Samantha [00:05:04]:
Yep.

Lisa [00:05:05]:
Better yet, let's talk about the Whopper. Whopper. Whopper is on every other commercial, and all I want is a Whopper. But I already know it. 55 years old. It don't look like that. It don't Taste like that.

Samantha [00:05:16]:
It don't. It definitely doesn't taste like that.

Lisa [00:05:18]:
Shaking my head at that. I'm shaking my head at the commercials that aren't truthful anymore. Just put out there what it is. A big old plate of yuck. That's what that Whopper is. It's just a big old burger of yuck.

Samantha [00:05:29]:
And it's usually very sloppy.

Lisa [00:05:31]:
Messy, sloppy. Probably cold.

Samantha [00:05:35]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:05:36]:
It's not steamy and lovely and yummy.

Samantha [00:05:38]:
No.

Lisa [00:05:39]:
Shake my head at that. Shake my head.

Samantha [00:05:44]:
Well, I'm shaking my head at how someone else's problems all of a sudden become yours. And now you take it on, and it's your job to fix it. And for some reason, that person is like, and I'm done. And it's like, is that a narcissist or is that just someone who just avoids their life and is, like, considered a bit, perhaps lazy?

Lisa [00:06:09]:
Okay, so. Okay, so let's. Let's. Let's break this sucker down. Okay, so. So somebody. They got a problem, they want you to fix it, and now you feel you got to fix it, and now.

Samantha [00:06:20]:
They'Re like, and you know what? I trust you. You're so good at this, I'm just going to leave it with you.

Lisa [00:06:24]:
Oh, right there. That's narcissistic. That's narcissist. I just flashed.

Samantha [00:06:31]:
I'm like, I. This is not my problem. I feel. No, I do not feel compelled to, like, take that on.

Lisa [00:06:38]:
Right. Not my monkey, not my circus.

Samantha [00:06:40]:
But people do it all the time. People do it all the time.

Lisa [00:06:45]:
And yet. Okay, so do you take it on?

Samantha [00:06:48]:
No, but people. They don't like that. Right. When you set that boundary with people, they don't love that.

Lisa [00:06:55]:
No, because they want you to take it on and solve it. Right.

Samantha [00:06:57]:
And then what if they applied? Like, maybe there's some guilt involved. Maybe they feel like if I guilt you enough into helping me, if I look like I really can't handle it, and then they.

Lisa [00:07:09]:
You describing me. I feel that now you're talking about me. I feel that you've taken it from something that wasn't me to. Now you. You've circled to me, haven't you? Haven't you?

Samantha [00:07:18]:
Oh, sorry, Lisa. It's my. I shake my head. It's about you.

Lisa [00:07:26]:
Took me a few minutes to figure it out. And I take back the fact that I said I'm a narcissist, because I don't think I am. I feel like you're the narcissist. You just baited me. I did you totally just baited me.

Samantha [00:07:40]:
Oh, it worked really well, though, didn't it?

Lisa [00:07:42]:
Why is it I'm always your. I shake my head every week lately?

Samantha [00:07:45]:
Because you suck a girl out.

Lisa [00:07:48]:
How about. Let's change this now. How about you just be nice? Just help a girl out? That's what I think this is about.

Samantha [00:07:52]:
I can't. That's just not within my DNA.

Lisa [00:07:55]:
It is. It used to be. I don't know what's happened at the year of 56.

Samantha [00:07:59]:
Year 56 is like, do it yourself.

Lisa [00:08:02]:
You're impossible.

Samantha [00:08:04]:
Do it yourself.

Lisa [00:08:05]:
You're kind of moody. You're kind of, like, irrational.

Samantha [00:08:07]:
You're not irrational in any way, shape, or form. I am. You know what? You know what? I am. I'm done. That's it. I'm done. With a little hand gesture and everything, I'm done.

Lisa [00:08:20]:
All that's missing is a little silk scarf, right? And I take you in a hang.

Samantha [00:08:28]:
Whatever, dude.

Lisa [00:08:29]:
I shake my hands.

Samantha [00:08:32]:
Stop it. I can't help it. It's too much fun, huh?

Lisa [00:08:38]:
Okay, let's. Fine. Okay, now you got me all flustered, right? Because I actually honestly was being empathetic, thinking I felt bad for you for a few minutes.

Samantha [00:08:48]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:08:48]:
Because.

Samantha [00:08:49]:
And then you realize I was talking about you.

Lisa [00:08:51]:
Look at me. I'm, like, trying.

Samantha [00:08:52]:
Stop it, Jesse.

Lisa [00:08:54]:
You're.

Samantha [00:08:56]:
You're never gonna get it. You're never gonna get it. You're never gonna get it.

Lisa [00:09:00]:
If you're watching this on YouTube, you're.

Samantha [00:09:03]:
Never gonna get it. Stop it. Now I feel sorry for the listeners. Sorry. Friends of the podcast, you're gonna want Those who are YouTube, those who are listening to this. You really should check out the video, because she's now adjusting her shirt, and she has no clue what side it lives on. I don't know. She can't handle it.

Lisa [00:09:23]:
I just. I don't like.

Samantha [00:09:26]:
Oh, Lord.

Lisa [00:09:29]:
I'm sorry. Friends of the podcast, I just noticed in the picture I'm presenting, my slopey.

Samantha [00:09:37]:
Shoulders are looking offside.

Lisa [00:09:40]:
Why do I have such sloppy shoulders?

Samantha [00:09:42]:
I don't know. I look like a linebacker. But as I said before, we did discuss on Sunday at family dinner. Well, Burlings come with big heads and football shoulders.

Lisa [00:09:53]:
It's funny, right? Because I feel right now I'm not presenting well with my sloppy shoulders. But guess what? The other day at work, it was staff picture day. Oh. And I went presenting, I think. Okay. Yes. Right. Because it's hard.

Lisa [00:10:06]:
You know what it's like? It's totally just like. Like school pictures. You're looking in your closet, you already know what a couple people are going to wear. You assume you know what a couple other people are going to wear, and you're just trying to figure out what you're going to wear. And I'm like, it. I don't know. I. I didn't do good with class pictures, so I'm just going to wear what I normally wear.

Lisa [00:10:23]:
Right. So that's fine. Right. It's school. It's work picture day. I found out through the innocence of work picture day, Samantha, that I still got it. But what I realized is I don't want to have it. I don't want to have it.

Lisa [00:10:41]:
So you know how, remember back in school, right? You had, like, people sitting in the chairs and the taller people at the back.

Samantha [00:10:47]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:10:48]:
Of the picture. So with work, important people in the front row, everybody else just kind of melds in together, Right?

Samantha [00:10:55]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:10:55]:
So I'm, like, kind of in the middle, but I don't want to be front and center middle. Right. Because a little bigger girl and I'm in a sweater, so that's not my best look. So I'm just kind of like. You know how you kind of, like, go sideways? Another coworker. Same thing on the other side. Right. She's kind of going sideways, and she's like, well, I'll just come in close, and I'll just come like.

Lisa [00:11:17]:
And so we're kind of like, face to face awkwardly. And I said, this is a little bit awkward. I said, we can't stand like this. It looks like we're going to kiss. And she's like, I would do that. And then I'm like, okay, but maybe not, because that seems weird. Ha ha. But it's totally innocent.

Lisa [00:11:35]:
Right. It was just one of those weird, awkward comments that, like, a coworker makes. Apologized, apologized, apologized, apologized. Right. I kind of set it up because I'm like, it looks like we're gonna kiss. So I'm kind of also to blame for that, right? Yeah. Right. I may be even more to blame.

Samantha [00:11:55]:
But what you get in any good situation, Lisa, you get creepy.

Lisa [00:11:59]:
So I instantly. She probably doesn't know that about me, right?

Samantha [00:12:03]:
No.

Lisa [00:12:03]:
So I started it making it creepy. She made it even creepier. And then all of a sudden, it was just, you know, an innocently placed awkward coworker moment.

Samantha [00:12:17]:
Oh, that's lovely.

Lisa [00:12:19]:
But at the end of the day, I still kind of got it, apparently. Right? That's horrible. Right. And then, of course, what song starts going through your head? Katy Perry. I kissed a Girl. And I'm like, I don't think I would like it because I think that. I think my husband would be mad. I think.

Lisa [00:12:39]:
I think. I think she's 20 years younger. There's so many, like, so many, so many things. Oh, my God.

Samantha [00:12:45]:
You're the sugar mama, right?

Lisa [00:12:49]:
All of a sudden, I was just like. It was like, so funny and just so. Oh, I'm sure nobody caught that. But yet I'm sure everybody caught that.

Samantha [00:12:58]:
Caught that.

Lisa [00:12:59]:
I'm sure everybody caught that, right?

Samantha [00:13:01]:
Yeah. And in case if anybody wants, you know, if you're a new listener on a good day, Lisa can make any situation fairly creepy.

Lisa [00:13:09]:
I didn't mean to.

Samantha [00:13:11]:
Yeah, so I didn't mean to, but.

Lisa [00:13:13]:
Makes me think my co worker must also have a little creepy side, too, because she went right to creepy, too. And I'm like, look, two creeps. Two creeps in a room. That's a recipe for disaster. It's potentially a recipe for disaster.

Samantha [00:13:27]:
Oh, there's nothing good from coming from that.

Lisa [00:13:29]:
But. But it's good, right? We figured it out. I'm like, it's cool. So I'm good. She's good. Nobody wants to kiss anybody. Happily married. She's happily married.

Lisa [00:13:39]:
She got a kid. Right. We're just. You know what the funny thing was is that the picture worked out well. So that's just how it was meant to be.

Samantha [00:13:49]:
Okay?

Lisa [00:13:49]:
You co workers, side by side in picture harmony. That's all Samantha. Oh. You know, But I still got it.

Samantha [00:13:57]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:13:58]:
This old gal. This old gal, she still got it, right? She's still got it. But she don't want it. She don't want it.

Samantha [00:14:05]:
Oh, my God. That's so bad.

Lisa [00:14:07]:
That's too funny. Hey.

Samantha [00:14:09]:
Okay.

Lisa [00:14:12]:
I go after that. Where do you even go after that?

Samantha [00:14:14]:
I'm gonna. I have some good news for you.

Lisa [00:14:16]:
Okay.

Samantha [00:14:17]:
I have some good news for you.

Lisa [00:14:18]:
Sweet.

Samantha [00:14:19]:
Apparently, micro bangs are going to be all the rage in 2025. Lisa, you are the trendsetter and didn't realize it.

Lisa [00:14:31]:
I didn't realize it. I always hoped this day would come.

Samantha [00:14:35]:
Because there's so much forehead and little.

Lisa [00:14:37]:
Bit of bang, which makes them micro. Which also could also be lending to me having it, too.

Samantha [00:14:43]:
Right?

Lisa [00:14:43]:
Because maybe it's all, slap some crochet on me and who knows what happens? Hey, that's all the trend, too.

Samantha [00:14:50]:
I'm sorry. Crochet.

Lisa [00:14:51]:
Crocheted stuff is all trending.

Samantha [00:14:54]:
Knit or crocheted?

Lisa [00:14:56]:
Well, I don't know. It looks like crocheted to me. Like, tops. Crocheted tops, crochet.

Samantha [00:15:02]:
I. I just love how you just sort of like.

Lisa [00:15:05]:
I saw it.

Samantha [00:15:06]:
Feel like you're following the fashion trends.

Lisa [00:15:08]:
Following the trend. Hair trend. Fashion trend. I get why I got it Makes perfect sense now.

Samantha [00:15:14]:
If you could just please, you know, take a picture of the day that you wear your crocheted shirt, that would be great. I think the world would need a little bit of laughter in their life that day.

Lisa [00:15:26]:
Here's the thing, right. As a Gen X kid, don't tell me we all didn't have that kind of crocheted looking vest.

Samantha [00:15:32]:
Totally.

Lisa [00:15:33]:
I'd bring that bad boy back. Like the flower. Like a crochet or it was like knit, but look crocheted right in the middle.

Samantha [00:15:42]:
Yeah, yeah.

Lisa [00:15:44]:
And you wore something with a big collar over underneath it.

Samantha [00:15:47]:
Yeah, yeah.

Lisa [00:15:48]:
And a pair of corduroys probably of memory serves.

Samantha [00:15:51]:
Oh, God, yeah. For sure. And they were flared too.

Lisa [00:15:54]:
Yeah. And. And the appropriate shoe, which was a sneaker. Right. We were styling.

Samantha [00:16:01]:
Oh, my God. That reminds me of when my mother used to dress my sister and I the same.

Lisa [00:16:06]:
Right? Totally.

Samantha [00:16:08]:
There's a picture of my sister and I and those. Do you remember the striped bunny hugs that were really popular in the 70s? They were sort of that rougher material.

Lisa [00:16:17]:
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Like. Yep.

Samantha [00:16:19]:
There's a picture of my sister and I wearing the exact same one.

Lisa [00:16:23]:
Nice.

Samantha [00:16:23]:
And there are. And then her. I remember my. My elementary school picture and her elementary school picture. We look the same because we're wearing the exact same outfit. The little jumper with the shirt.

Lisa [00:16:39]:
Oh, the jumpers. Right. Wasn't good.

Samantha [00:16:42]:
So popular back then.

Lisa [00:16:43]:
We. A picture of my three sisters. And we are first off, from the oldest to the youngest. There's eight years. Right. So for the oldest to be wearing this get up. She seemed a little old to me, even for me. Right.

Lisa [00:16:56]:
And we're in like, like. Remember the boob tube?

Samantha [00:17:00]:
Yes, but.

Lisa [00:17:01]:
But it was before we had boobs because we're young and it was. We were in like matching boob tubes and like a matching short. Short.

Samantha [00:17:08]:
That seems wrong.

Lisa [00:17:09]:
It's like. That's a good look. That's a good look, mom. Thanks. Right. Thank you. And my signature two hair clips.

Samantha [00:17:18]:
Right. I still can't believe that you actually had long hair at any, any point in your life.

Lisa [00:17:25]:
Long hair for quite a few. Till I was in grade seven.

Samantha [00:17:28]:
So crazy.

Lisa [00:17:29]:
And then finally I won the battle. Right. Cut that sucker off.

Samantha [00:17:35]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:17:36]:
Longer than this. Right? I don't know. Okay, so we've talked a lot about God lately.

Samantha [00:17:43]:
Yeah. You have like.

Lisa [00:17:45]:
We have like. Right. Like, like if this is your first podcast, listening to us for the last two, we have talked a little bit about God. Right. Not.

Samantha [00:17:53]:
And not in the way that you would think.

Lisa [00:17:55]:
All right. Like, I was wondering about God's mom. Apparently she doesn't. He doesn't have a mom. He's. He's. He's not a person. Even though in the picture he is a picture, but he's not.

Lisa [00:18:06]:
Okay. Then last week we were talking about, should we be going to church maybe once a year so we could become at one with God when we need him?

Samantha [00:18:16]:
This, that you're. You're a fair weather friendly.

Lisa [00:18:18]:
Yeah. And this week, you know what? Because I'm a fair, weathered friend, I worry that God has a B list. And that's where I live. God's B list.

Samantha [00:18:27]:
Of course you live on the B list.

Lisa [00:18:28]:
I don't want to live on anybody's B list. Right. That's a bad crew. That's. That. That means that in God speak, you're not working Sunday, you're working Saturday.

Samantha [00:18:40]:
Yep.

Lisa [00:18:40]:
Right. You're working maybe Friday night.

Samantha [00:18:42]:
Yeah. And Saturday, all the people. Yeah. All the good people will work Sunday.

Lisa [00:18:45]:
Yeah. The worst people work on the Saturday.

Samantha [00:18:48]:
On the Saturday.

Lisa [00:18:48]:
That's where I'm working on the Saturday for God. That's not where I want to be. I don't want to be on God's B list. I mean, sometimes I do, but not all the. Like, not at this time of year.

Samantha [00:18:58]:
And exactly how do you think you're going to get on the A list?

Lisa [00:19:02]:
That's why I've been asking questions. I'm trying to figure out how to move up on the list. I already don't covet thy neighbor's husband. I don't do that. Right. I do unto others as others would have do unto me for the most part. Right. Like, unless I'm really pissed off, then I don't.

Lisa [00:19:16]:
But for the most part I do. I feel like God comes with exceptions. Right. God comes because God made me.

Samantha [00:19:24]:
There's ten commandments. But you know what, if you talk your way through a couple of them.

Lisa [00:19:28]:
Right. I feel I can probably manipulate them a little bit to always still work in my favor. I feel that's the gift God gave me.

Samantha [00:19:37]:
Yes. That is a true gift.

Lisa [00:19:39]:
That is the true gift. I'm just saying I don't want to be on God's B list.

Samantha [00:19:44]:
I think that you're there and I think you should just be okay with that.

Lisa [00:19:48]:
Yeah. Until like he's not calling people up. And there's no new recruits. There's nobody to pinch it. And no, not you. We have one free spot, and guess what? You're just going to live in purgatory.

Samantha [00:20:02]:
We're not bringing you up from the. From the minors to go to the majors from.

Lisa [00:20:07]:
We're not bringing you up from. You get to. You're going to sit on the bench one more season, right? You're not getting called up. You're not getting the fancy wings. I'm going to get the. I'm going to get the frayed wings when I go.

Samantha [00:20:18]:
Yeah, it's not.

Lisa [00:20:21]:
I'm not going to be on a nice cloud. I'm going to be on, like, a rain cloud.

Samantha [00:20:25]:
Are you prepared to do what it takes to get on the A list, though? Like. Well, like what? Huge commitment.

Lisa [00:20:31]:
Oh, like how big?

Samantha [00:20:33]:
And I think you might have to go to church every Sunday.

Lisa [00:20:35]:
Oh, no, I'm not doing that. I'll watch it on the tv. I will watch the church on tv. I will blink as many times as the blinking guy does. You know that guy? What's his name? Joel? Austin. That guy. I will blink as many times. I will blink in unison.

Lisa [00:20:58]:
I will blink as many times as he blinks in an hour.

Samantha [00:21:01]:
You know what? The fact that I knew, and you actually kind of knew who this person was means that he gets out there. He gets out there to the people.

Lisa [00:21:09]:
Yeah. You know what I think. You know what comes to mind? Two things come to mind when I think of that dude. Number one, he needs a haircut. His hair is really big. Number two, dude, stop blinking. Right? People say it's the Morse code. Right.

Lisa [00:21:25]:
He's sending you messages.

Samantha [00:21:27]:
Oh, stop.

Lisa [00:21:28]:
That's the word on the street.

Samantha [00:21:30]:
Stop.

Lisa [00:21:31]:
That's the word in the Gibson house. That's what we Gibsons believe. Right.

Samantha [00:21:34]:
Who's the other. Who's the other big guy? He. That used to be. And his son kind of took over.

Lisa [00:21:41]:
Oh, I don't remember now, but I know who you're talking. Oh.

Samantha [00:21:43]:
Every once in a while I see they're doing the prayer line thing again.

Lisa [00:21:47]:
Oh, right.

Samantha [00:21:48]:
Yeah. So if you want to do that, that might get you on the A list.

Lisa [00:21:51]:
I don't want to give them money. Right. Because I feel God knows I don't have enough money to give, so why would he want me to give money? Right. If I could, I would.

Samantha [00:21:59]:
There's. There's just so many things that have to happen before get on the A list.

Lisa [00:22:04]:
Right. I just. I'm not. I'm not excited being somebody's B team.

Samantha [00:22:11]:
I know. Because you always, in your mind, you're number one.

Lisa [00:22:13]:
I'm number one.

Samantha [00:22:15]:
That's what this is about, Lisa. It's not really about God and how you feel about God.

Lisa [00:22:20]:
Right.

Samantha [00:22:20]:
But, dude, you should just want me on your A list because I'm Lisa.

Lisa [00:22:23]:
I'm not prepared to go right now. Right. I'm busy. I don't got time. I'll let you know when I'm ready for you. Yeah, but I'm okay being top of mind. Being like, hey, guess every Sunday, him saying, we got a good one coming one day. Okay, I can live with that.

Lisa [00:22:40]:
Right? Because I am a good one coming one day.

Samantha [00:22:44]:
Yes, you are.

Lisa [00:22:45]:
The whole thing is that you can't get stuck in the middle. You get stuck in the middle. You're just. They don't come. Well, they don't come back for you.

Samantha [00:22:52]:
No offense to you. You're not Catholic, so I don't think you have to worry about.

Lisa [00:22:55]:
Oh, is that Only the Catholics get stuck in them.

Samantha [00:22:57]:
Only the Catholics believe another thing.

Lisa [00:23:00]:
Reason why I'm probably not signing up for that one. Right. I'll stay with the guy on tv.

Samantha [00:23:06]:
There's a lot of rules.

Lisa [00:23:08]:
I. I feel those are harder rules to get out of.

Samantha [00:23:11]:
Oh, there's. There's quite a few.

Lisa [00:23:13]:
And, you know, I'm not interested.

Samantha [00:23:15]:
You're not a saint, so good luck.

Lisa [00:23:17]:
Right. I do not have the sweatshirt that cured cancer. I. I am not 125 years old and put my hand on somebody and the leprosy disappeared.

Samantha [00:23:28]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:23:28]:
I have not done those things. So you're right. I am not a saint. Still.

Samantha [00:23:32]:
All right.

Lisa [00:23:33]:
I can't even figure out what side of my shoes are.

Samantha [00:23:35]:
Leave it alone. Leave it alone.

Lisa [00:23:38]:
All right, all right. Just saying.

Samantha [00:23:40]:
But you started a bit of controversy over the weekend, Lisa, and I just like, why are you dredging this up?

Lisa [00:23:45]:
Who would have.

Samantha [00:23:46]:
All I thought was oatmeal versus Cream of Wheat. Hi. It's oatmeal. Duh.

Lisa [00:23:51]:
Hi. Because sometimes I think, you know what? Friends of the podcast, I need to hear you talking. I need to hear some chit chatter.

Samantha [00:23:56]:
So we post. They talked. And I disagreed with, like, everybody who liked Cream of Wheat. I'm like, even my mother. And I'm like, how?

Lisa [00:24:06]:
I like both.

Samantha [00:24:07]:
No, I like both. Cream of Weed is just. I don't get it.

Lisa [00:24:12]:
Really? Because I don't get. We grew up with cream. We grew up with Cream of Wheat. I know.

Samantha [00:24:17]:
We grew up with Both.

Lisa [00:24:18]:
Yeah. But I didn't mind the Cream of Wheat, but I felt that the Cream of Wheat holds the brown sugar better. No, it does, but, you know, it was gross. When we were growing up, my mom and maybe all moms used to do this back in the 60s and the 70s and the 80s, my mom used to put a big old pat of butter on the Cream of Wheat.

Samantha [00:24:37]:
Oh, yeah?

Lisa [00:24:38]:
What's butter going in the Cream of Wheat for?

Samantha [00:24:40]:
Butter.

Lisa [00:24:41]:
What's butter going in there for?

Samantha [00:24:43]:
I don't know. I. If I was. If I had. If I was forced to eat Cream of Wheat, there would have to have been a litany of toast.

Lisa [00:24:50]:
I wouldn't. I don't want it with toast.

Samantha [00:24:52]:
Oh, God, no. I'm having. I'm totally.

Lisa [00:24:54]:
Why are you having it with toast?

Samantha [00:24:56]:
Dipping the toast in there and eating it that way.

Lisa [00:24:58]:
So you're just having sog and sog, Sog and sog.

Samantha [00:25:01]:
It's not soggy. It's toast.

Lisa [00:25:03]:
You put soggy cream wheat on toast, it becomes soggy toast, and then it.

Samantha [00:25:07]:
Tastes better because you're not having to eat the cream wheat by itself.

Lisa [00:25:10]:
You put enough sugar, brown sugar on it, it doesn't matter what it tastes like. No, it's a texture thing. Right. Like, oatmeal is a little more meatier.

Samantha [00:25:18]:
Yep.

Lisa [00:25:19]:
Right. I don't know. What's this other Red River?

Samantha [00:25:22]:
Okay, so it's a brand, and it's apparently, like, people were explaining it. Red river is a brand. Malto meal is also another thing. And I was just like, where did. Stop doing that? Where did. Where did we live that I never knew about Red River?

Lisa [00:25:39]:
I think I've heard of Red River. I feel my mother knew about Red River.

Samantha [00:25:42]:
I. I'm like, what are you talking about? People now you're just making things up. And then they had pictures. And then I was like, okay, so you're not making it up.

Lisa [00:25:50]:
People were really committed, really, really committed to the oatmeal.

Samantha [00:25:53]:
They felt very committed to your oatmeal versus Cream of Wheat. And I'm like, you know what? I just don't need this, like, bad childhood memory creeping up on me. I just don't need that in my life.

Lisa [00:26:03]:
We always knew that it was really, really cold outside when mom made a bowl of Cream of Wheat.

Samantha [00:26:09]:
Oh, right.

Lisa [00:26:10]:
You knew. Oh, okay. It's winter day today. Yeah, Cream of Wheat. And then sometimes she'd make hot chocolate in. Did your mom ever make hot chocolate in the pot on the stove?

Samantha [00:26:20]:
Yes, I think so.

Lisa [00:26:21]:
Right. Because that was Old fashioned. Hey.

Samantha [00:26:23]:
Oh, old fashioned.

Lisa [00:26:24]:
Yeah, that was old fashioned. My mom used to do that too. And then you'd have the cream of wheat. All circles back to a good memory.

Samantha [00:26:32]:
It does, right?

Lisa [00:26:34]:
So I just wanted to share that with everybody.

Samantha [00:26:37]:
Thanks. Thanks for stirring up some PTSD for me about cream and wheat.

Lisa [00:26:41]:
So let's just say you'd never go out and get it now.

Samantha [00:26:44]:
Oh, God, no.

Lisa [00:26:45]:
You can buy an instant packs now, right? I would still eat it if I.

Samantha [00:26:49]:
If I.

Lisa [00:26:50]:
If I would be allowed. Somebody said they put syrup on it. Oh, like that's you.

Samantha [00:26:55]:
Honestly? Syrup, sugar?

Lisa [00:26:57]:
Yeah.

Samantha [00:26:58]:
Any kind of, like, sweetness of any kind. That's your gig.

Lisa [00:27:01]:
I'm in. Right. That's the only reason why I'm eating oatmeal or cream of wheat is because of the brown sugar.

Samantha [00:27:06]:
Of course it is.

Lisa [00:27:07]:
I got a life hack for you. It's not commercial. So friends of the podcast, I need you to envision this too. Okay. So it's a life hack for ladies and men who wear toques. Okay. You know how the chino, you always have that part that you fold up?

Samantha [00:27:21]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:27:21]:
Right on the front part of your earlier. You always have that rim. Right. Whatever it is. Okay, so this is what they're saying for women first. Because women are always complaining that because we wear. We wear foundation and we get makeup on the toque. So the life hack.

Lisa [00:27:36]:
And it seems brilliant if you're prepared to do this.

Samantha [00:27:39]:
Long story short, you take a pair.

Lisa [00:27:41]:
How about shut your mouth? Most be shut. Right? You take a panty liner and you put it on the inside of the toque.

Samantha [00:27:52]:
Oh.

Lisa [00:27:53]:
And then that's going to absorb all your makeup.

Samantha [00:27:56]:
Okay.

Lisa [00:27:57]:
And for dudes, they can do it too, because they get sweaty foreheads and it's just like a sweat absorber.

Samantha [00:28:05]:
I can't wait to see that.

Lisa [00:28:09]:
So anybody do that and take a picture? Men and women. John Jamingo. I bet you wear a toque in the winter.

Samantha [00:28:18]:
They call it a beanie.

Lisa [00:28:19]:
Okay. A teeny weeny beanie. Put on. Put on a panty liner and so you don't sweat, Right?

Samantha [00:28:27]:
I would. I mean, I. Yes, I'm sure it works.

Lisa [00:28:31]:
That's my challenge.

Samantha [00:28:32]:
I don't need a pad in my toque, it seems, or my hat.

Lisa [00:28:38]:
What about you take it off, put it down. Somebody's like, oh, my God. Why is there a panty liner stuck to the inside of your hat? How do you explain that way? You can't explain that. No, there's no explanation.

Samantha [00:28:52]:
At some point are people are People going to look at you and like, do you need help? Like, are you okay?

Lisa [00:29:00]:
I think you have it in the wrong spot. It's supposed to go on the inside of your panty, not the inside of your hat. Are you.

Samantha [00:29:11]:
Are you.

Lisa [00:29:11]:
Like, someone's mama didn't tell them all this.

Samantha [00:29:14]:
The whole did.

Lisa [00:29:15]:
They only told her the birds and the bees.

Samantha [00:29:19]:
You don't bleed from here, right? No.

Lisa [00:29:22]:
Like, unless you cut yourself, but you probably won't. You'll be okay. You'll be okay, right? You'll be fine. For all those latchkey kids in the 80s, didn't know where to put that stuff.

Samantha [00:29:40]:
This is bringing up something that I. I saw on TikTok. Apparently, Shania Twain, in one of her concerts, it looks like she's wearing a diaper.

Lisa [00:29:50]:
I feel Shania Twain. Something's happened to her.

Samantha [00:29:54]:
I think she snapped.

Lisa [00:29:55]:
I think she snapped. She got a brand new face one year and looks nothing.

Samantha [00:30:01]:
A brand new body.

Lisa [00:30:02]:
Brand new body and looks nothing like Shania Twain. No, like, like so much to the point that if you saw her and you didn't know, like, if you just saw. I don't know if you'd know she was Shania Twain.

Samantha [00:30:14]:
No, like, it just like I saw the she's wearing. It's like a. God, I don't even know. It looks like a showgirl outfit, like something Cher would wear.

Lisa [00:30:23]:
Okay.

Samantha [00:30:23]:
And it's white. And if you look at it and you look at the bottom piece, it looks a little padded.

Lisa [00:30:30]:
Okay.

Samantha [00:30:31]:
And I'm just like, where? Well, she did admit to peeing on stage one time. So now people are like, maybe.

Lisa [00:30:39]:
But funny, because you get cher, who's almost 80, not in a diaper.

Samantha [00:30:43]:
Not in a diaper.

Lisa [00:30:43]:
Jania, 50 something sporting a diaper, potentially in a diaper. I would think with all the money she has, she could pay somebody to build that in a bit better.

Samantha [00:30:53]:
Well, you would think, right?

Lisa [00:30:55]:
Or you know what? Maybe you can't wear those outfits if you have to wear a pull up.

Samantha [00:30:59]:
If I'm being honest, she didn't sound great either.

Lisa [00:31:01]:
Right. I mean, our concern when we hit our pull up ears, like next year probably is how are you not going to be able to tell that I'm in them? Will you hear them? Will you see them? Right? Because those things are like, here comes Sam. Right. Like corduroy, Right?

Samantha [00:31:20]:
No, thanks.

Lisa [00:31:21]:
Exactly. That's our concern.

Samantha [00:31:24]:
That's. I'm just saying it just from. From a bat on your forehead to.

Lisa [00:31:31]:
Like, to Shania Twain sporting a pull up.

Samantha [00:31:33]:
Yeah. Like, that's not good. That's not good.

Lisa [00:31:36]:
That's not good at all. That's.

Samantha [00:31:38]:
No, I don't want to look forward to so much. Yeah, so much to look forward to so much.

Lisa [00:31:42]:
Okay. But, you know, here's something to look forward to, Samantha. Something new is trending in 2025, and I'm excited for it. I don't want to play it. I want to watch it. I want to be a spectator. Nude pickleball.

Samantha [00:31:57]:
Isn'T creepy. I'm so excited to watch it. You're gonna watch nude people pick play pickleball?

Lisa [00:32:04]:
I'm not gonna play it.

Samantha [00:32:06]:
But watching it isn't creepy.

Lisa [00:32:09]:
Creepy. But if I had to pick one, can you.

Samantha [00:32:12]:
Oh, I can't.

Lisa [00:32:14]:
No.

Samantha [00:32:14]:
Because now I have a visual in my head.

Lisa [00:32:18]:
Slap. Right. And everything.

Samantha [00:32:22]:
Swing, swing, swing, swing, swing.

Lisa [00:32:25]:
Men and the women doing it. Doing it. Doing a slap.

Samantha [00:32:28]:
Yeah. Because things are going upside down and sideways and all over the place.

Lisa [00:32:35]:
Right? But apparently it's really popular with the nudists because they still have those places, right, where nudists live?

Samantha [00:32:40]:
Yes, they still have nudist colonies.

Lisa [00:32:42]:
It's funny, we've never. In all the years, all the years, I don't think we've ever discussed nudists.

Samantha [00:32:49]:
Yes, we have.

Lisa [00:32:50]:
We've discussed nudists.

Samantha [00:32:51]:
Yes, I'm sure we have. I don't know.

Lisa [00:32:53]:
How do you feel about nudists? I don't know. This about you.

Samantha [00:32:55]:
I do not love, feel the need to participate, watch, or be around people who don't have clothes on.

Lisa [00:33:04]:
Right, Right.

Samantha [00:33:05]:
I want you to have clothes on.

Lisa [00:33:06]:
Have some clothes on.

Samantha [00:33:08]:
Please have clothes on.

Lisa [00:33:09]:
Nudists, they're like, I was brought into the world like this.

Samantha [00:33:12]:
I know.

Lisa [00:33:13]:
I'm fine living the world.

Samantha [00:33:15]:
Get there. How do you. How do you get there as a. As an adult?

Lisa [00:33:19]:
Like, oh, you live by yourself. Never just walk around naked?

Samantha [00:33:22]:
Well, I mean, it's my apartment, and this blinds are shut, so I don't think people should care.

Lisa [00:33:29]:
That's where you start.

Samantha [00:33:30]:
However, you're going out into the world, and you still are totally okay.

Lisa [00:33:37]:
Letting. Being at one with nature.

Samantha [00:33:40]:
We're going to dinner naked. We are going to shopping naked. We are going everywhere naked.

Lisa [00:33:46]:
People should eat naked. You need to be clothed to eat. Okay.

Samantha [00:33:50]:
What's the difference?

Lisa [00:33:51]:
There needs to be rules. Okay? Our nudist college.

Samantha [00:33:54]:
Oh, seriously?

Lisa [00:33:55]:
I didn't do this. If we were in charge of a nudist colony, there needs to be some rules. Right? You can garden naked. Go ahead, garden. You can mow Your lawn naked, play your pickleball. But when it's time to get together for some meal time, I'm gonna need you to have some clothing on.

Samantha [00:34:10]:
Why?

Lisa [00:34:11]:
Because that's just polite.

Samantha [00:34:13]:
No, why?

Lisa [00:34:15]:
It just seems proper.

Samantha [00:34:17]:
Because you think, what is going to happen?

Lisa [00:34:19]:
Food's gonna fall on you, and then you're gonna eat the food off you. That's what I think's gonna happen. Just like.

Samantha [00:34:25]:
Right?

Lisa [00:34:25]:
Like a little piece of rice falls on your shirt. What do you do?

Samantha [00:34:28]:
Are you scared of, like, hairs falling somewhere?

Lisa [00:34:30]:
Yeah. Like who? I don't wanna see that in my periphery, in my vision as I'm eating my meal.

Samantha [00:34:37]:
You can put on a shirt. It's gonna be totally okay. If they go gardening with sharp tools, I'm okay.

Lisa [00:34:41]:
That's on them, right? Just be careful. Watch where you put the rake.

Samantha [00:34:46]:
Jess speaking. Okay, you make no sense. I want nothing to do with this.

Lisa [00:34:51]:
If I'm the mayor. If I'm the mayor of Nudistville, there's going to be some rules.

Samantha [00:34:58]:
That's the best title that you can find.

Lisa [00:35:01]:
That's Nudistville. Dinky Doo from last week. Right. It's the only one I came up with. Because I'm not gonna ever be the mayor of Nudistville.

Samantha [00:35:11]:
Okay.

Lisa [00:35:13]:
All right.

Samantha [00:35:14]:
So are you gonna be a nudist in Nudistville?

Lisa [00:35:16]:
I'll be closed. It's optional. There's too much nude Lisa. There's too much. There's too much there, I feel. Here's the thing. This is what I wonder, and this might be bad, and maybe I'm about to dig myself a hole I can't get out of, but that's what I like to do.

Samantha [00:35:38]:
I can't wait.

Lisa [00:35:39]:
If anybody that listens to the podcast is a nudist and lives in a nudist colony, can you let us know? Are most nudists fit or have they let themselves go like us?

Samantha [00:35:53]:
I think most nudists are just normal people who have, like, normal bodies.

Lisa [00:35:57]:
I bet they're not. I think they're going to be fit. And then you wouldn't care if I'm a fit. If I'm a size 4 nudist, look at me go. I probably don't care. Hi, I'm a size 14 nudist. That's a big difference in nudity. A lot more nudity happening.

Samantha [00:36:15]:
Oh, we. I just know I'm never doing this.

Lisa [00:36:19]:
I'm just saying. Right? Just saying. My gut tells me that the nudists.

Samantha [00:36:25]:
Are thin and trim tap I'm out.

Lisa [00:36:28]:
Yeah, tap. I'm out, too. I don't want to do it.

Samantha [00:36:30]:
I don't want to play that game.

Lisa [00:36:31]:
I just thought we've never talked about it before. 430 episodes. We've never talked about nudity.

Samantha [00:36:37]:
Like, I feel like we have. And you're just forgetting. And so am I personally, but whatever.

Lisa [00:36:41]:
I don't know. Okay? I don't know.

Samantha [00:36:43]:
But you know what? We have to go back to. We have to go back to Taylor.

Lisa [00:36:46]:
Swift because she's everywhere.

Samantha [00:36:48]:
Well, okay, so her tour ended, right?

Lisa [00:36:50]:
Yeah. Like, I never went to her tour. But with all the TikToks I've watched, I feel like I did well.

Samantha [00:36:55]:
And I watched the Disney one, so that was exciting.

Lisa [00:36:57]:
Right?

Samantha [00:36:58]:
But I do need to say that if we cannot be Taylor Swift, because that's what we figured out last week, is there's them and then there's us, right? And we will never be them.

Lisa [00:37:08]:
Larry, Agent, Wendy and Gord did not produce Taylor Swift's.

Samantha [00:37:12]:
Did not produce a Taylor Swift. So if we can't be Taylor Swift, how come we were not part of her crew? Because she gave out $197 million in bonuses to her entire crew. Dancers, people who sold her merch, everybody that was involved, who drove truck.

Lisa [00:37:31]:
Like, don't tell me you and I can't drive a truck.

Samantha [00:37:36]:
I could have sold her merch. I totally could have sold it.

Lisa [00:37:39]:
We could have sold her merch and taken.

Samantha [00:37:41]:
How did we not get on this train? Where, like, where, where do you apply?

Lisa [00:37:45]:
Where do you apply for that job?

Samantha [00:37:47]:
I don't know.

Lisa [00:37:47]:
Like, remember, like, when I applied to be the queen's assistant social media girl?

Samantha [00:37:51]:
You didn't apply. He looked at it, went, that's too much.

Lisa [00:37:54]:
I, I, I one third of the way applied, actually, you. Yes. And I, one third of the way applied to be an Oscar Mayer wiener driver in the States, and I totally applied to be a pancake taster, and I did not get that job.

Samantha [00:38:08]:
You did not get that job, right? No, you did not.

Lisa [00:38:11]:
It makes me feel like a loser. Pancakes.

Samantha [00:38:16]:
But I'm just saying, like, incredibly generous, always bonusing her people, which is fantastic.

Lisa [00:38:24]:
You know what's interesting? It's interesting. It's interesting the fact that girl has enough money that she can just drop 197 million in good nature.

Samantha [00:38:35]:
In two years, she made $2 billion.

Lisa [00:38:37]:
I know, but that, like. She good, Samantha.

Samantha [00:38:41]:
She good.

Lisa [00:38:41]:
You and I, we'd have a hard time coming up with $197 to give people, right? That help us?

Samantha [00:38:49]:
Do you take coin like that?

Lisa [00:38:51]:
Right. We could maybe come up with the $97, maybe the 1997. But after that, we're, like, scraping much more. Right. We're pinching pennies. So I'm not having a donut in the morning.

Samantha [00:39:07]:
You're definitely not having a donut.

Lisa [00:39:08]:
What did she have to. She didn't have to give up anything. She worked hard for that.

Samantha [00:39:12]:
She did. She did. And my curiosity also is. Is what do you think she did on her first day off?

Lisa [00:39:22]:
I think. What do I think she did? She probably, like, loved her cats.

Samantha [00:39:27]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:39:28]:
I don't know. Probably. Probably had maybe. If I were her, you know what I would be doing? I'd be eating a food I couldn't have. I haven't been able to eat. I'd still be enjoying my wine. I'd be drunk. I'd be sleeping on the couch passed out.

Lisa [00:39:41]:
That's what I'd be doing. I'm still celebrating from the. From the night before.

Samantha [00:39:48]:
Right. I think she probably slept in. I'm hoping she had a little breakfast in bed, maybe. But knowing Taylor, who, you know is just probably driven to, like. I mean, for heaven's sake, she released an album on tour.

Lisa [00:40:01]:
On tour. She probably made another album that night.

Samantha [00:40:04]:
She probably made an album. Who knows what she's. Who knows what she's gonna come up with?

Lisa [00:40:09]:
Like a bunny. She's just pushing out albums.

Samantha [00:40:11]:
I know, right? But I'm just like. I was just like, okay, so we can't be her, but apparently we can't work for her either. And I'm like, oh, my God, we suck on another level.

Lisa [00:40:22]:
It's a. And that's on us, right? That we can't even hold our parents. At least, like, not being Taylor Swift, we can hold our parents accountable for that. Right? Okay. They did not create. They did not produce Taylor Swift. But not being able to sell her merchandise or getting a job with her, that's on us.

Samantha [00:40:38]:
That is on us.

Lisa [00:40:38]:
Totally on us. I know, but I don't have much faith now in, like, these weird type of jobs ever since I lost out in the pancake job. Right? Like, who doesn't get that job? You, when you're a lover of pancakes?

Samantha [00:40:55]:
I know. They just didn't understand you.

Lisa [00:40:57]:
They didn't understand that it doesn't matter that there's no IHOP here. You should have said that. And then I wouldn't have got my hopes up. Right?

Samantha [00:41:07]:
That's the one restaurant. We don't have an ihop.

Lisa [00:41:09]:
And that's what held me back. Right. That's why I didn't get the job of weekend pancake tester.

Samantha [00:41:17]:
I feel like you should just pancake test around Saskatoon, find out which one who has the best pancakes.

Lisa [00:41:22]:
I think that that is probably because you know what? Everybody thinks they know, but they don't. Because I don't think we've had the best pancakes in Saskatoon yet.

Samantha [00:41:29]:
No.

Lisa [00:41:30]:
Right. Because if. You know my theory.

Samantha [00:41:31]:
Right.

Lisa [00:41:31]:
If your pancakes at a restaurant tastes like pancakes in my kitchen, there's a problem. Right? There's a problem. Okay. I need to. I need to take this to a different. Different place.

Samantha [00:41:44]:
Oh, fine.

Lisa [00:41:45]:
It happened. We knew it was going to happen. We knew there was going to be celebrity fallout.

Samantha [00:41:50]:
Jay Z. Jay Z. I know he.

Lisa [00:41:54]:
Was with two rapes. What's up with this?

Samantha [00:41:58]:
Well, he's alleged.

Lisa [00:42:01]:
He's alleged. Alleged, alleged.

Samantha [00:42:04]:
And he is denying it.

Lisa [00:42:05]:
And he's denying.

Samantha [00:42:06]:
Denying the allegations, as any smart person probably would. Any smart.

Lisa [00:42:12]:
Here's the thing.

Samantha [00:42:13]:
I guess we'll wait and see.

Lisa [00:42:14]:
This is my worry with Jay Z is, is he. Because he's very convincing, right? Because he's very well spoken. He's very passionate. When he said, now we're gonna have to sit our children down and talk about how something horrific like this gets told and how involved in it. We know. Take this and talk to our kids. Because our kids are at an age where they're going to read this. And I was falling for it.

Lisa [00:42:39]:
I was like, oh, that's so. Oh, my God, you're right. And then I'm like, he's your best friend, Jay Z. Oh, is your buddy. Did. He's your bro. Right? He's your sister from another mister. Huh? And.

Samantha [00:42:57]:
Oh.

Lisa [00:42:58]:
Huh? Oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Right. That's where I think it's going to get tricky. Because they're friends. They're like, hard. I get. I don't.

Lisa [00:43:14]:
Don't get me wrong. You and I, best friends. Best friends for almost 25 years. I feel I know 90% of everything about you. Mostly I don't know where you live, though, which is. That's the big weird one, because I don't know where you live. I feel that. I feel confident that I wouldn't be able to say no.

Lisa [00:43:41]:
They were up to that. If I'm your buddy. Your good, good buddy.

Samantha [00:43:46]:
Right? Yeah.

Lisa [00:43:48]:
And. And he's been at the parties.

Samantha [00:43:52]:
You're making a very solid case, Lisa.

Lisa [00:43:55]:
Sometimes I think I should have been a lawyer. Maybe. I'm just saying I don't Want, like, I don't know.

Samantha [00:44:01]:
I don't want to believe it.

Lisa [00:44:02]:
There's a whole other case for why he's. Why it's all against him. And I get that too.

Samantha [00:44:07]:
Yeah. I mean, honestly, this is. Who knows? Who knows what will happen for them?

Lisa [00:44:12]:
I want Let the bodies hit the floor. Let the bodies hit the floor. I want.

Samantha [00:44:15]:
Oh my God. I want to hear. So weird.

Lisa [00:44:18]:
I want to know all about it.

Samantha [00:44:19]:
Oh my God.

Lisa [00:44:20]:
Because I think if it's this big of a scandal, the world has a right to know.

Samantha [00:44:24]:
Oh, okay. Well, you are that girl.

Lisa [00:44:26]:
I'm that girl.

Samantha [00:44:27]:
You are that girl.

Lisa [00:44:28]:
That's how I roll. That's how I roll.

Samantha [00:44:31]:
You're so strange.

Lisa [00:44:33]:
That's strange. Uh huh.

Samantha [00:44:35]:
Any watch, any good serial killer things lately?

Lisa [00:44:38]:
Well, there's the one coming on. They've been advertising it, right? They've been advertising the one called Monster on Netflix and it looks like it's the next best thing. Yeah, not till the end of 2025. Don't waste my time with that commercial in the States. There's an actual crazy guy who just shot a guy in playing in plain daylight.

Samantha [00:44:58]:
Well, that. There you go. Are you watching that?

Lisa [00:45:01]:
Yeah, totally.

Samantha [00:45:02]:
They just arrested him too.

Lisa [00:45:04]:
I don't think. I think it's just going to be a sad case of, you know, a lot of didn't go very well for that kid. I think he comes from wealthy family. I think he comes from good upbringing. He's back. And as J. Joe Behar said today on the. On the View, who hasn't had a sore back? She was not very sympathetic.

Samantha [00:45:25]:
Oh dear.

Lisa [00:45:26]:
Sunny Hostins was very sympathetic, saying, you know what? Like, like there's, like now there's. But did you know he made his gun on a computer?

Samantha [00:45:35]:
3D? 3D printing.

Lisa [00:45:39]:
I started asking questions about that. Like I can't even figure out how to fix my. Oh, I just. Although I just kind of did figure out how to fix my shirt. Friends of the podcast. Look at that right now.

Samantha [00:45:49]:
Oh God.

Lisa [00:45:50]:
But okay, I can't even figure out how to change the ink in my printer. How am I gonna print a gun?

Samantha [00:45:56]:
Well, I think he might have been a little bit smarter than you in that realm.

Lisa [00:45:59]:
Apparently. He was so crazy. So crazy.

Samantha [00:46:03]:
Okay, but speaking of American people curious. Okay, how do you pronounce sorry and progress. Sorry, Progress.

Lisa [00:46:16]:
Progress.

Samantha [00:46:17]:
Sorry. O. Sorry, Progress. Right.

Lisa [00:46:21]:
Pro.

Samantha [00:46:22]:
O. Apparently Americans pronounce it with more of an A sounding because it's like how they do Water.

Lisa [00:46:30]:
Water.

Samantha [00:46:31]:
And it's progress. It's progress. Not progress.

Lisa [00:46:35]:
Is that like a Southern America?

Samantha [00:46:37]:
And it's sorry, not sorry. It's like so bizarre. So I got this off a tick tock, so. And the girl's like, I think the Canadians are right. Yeah, we're right. We're making the right sound of the right letter.

Lisa [00:46:51]:
The right letter. Like, sorry.

Samantha [00:46:54]:
The vowel is oh. Oh, sorry, sorry. Progress. Not progress.

Lisa [00:47:00]:
Not progress, sorry.

Samantha [00:47:02]:
Progress.

Lisa [00:47:02]:
Progress.

Samantha [00:47:03]:
Frog. It's a frog's dress. Like, it's. It makes no sense what you're doing. It makes no sense.

Lisa [00:47:08]:
Hey. And any listeners from America, feel free to go to our website and voicemail us how you say those two words, Sorry and progress. Sorry and progress. I'm curious to know.

Samantha [00:47:20]:
I'm so sorry.

Lisa [00:47:21]:
Sorry. Oh, oh. Like that.

Samantha [00:47:23]:
Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Lisa [00:47:25]:
That sounds kind of sarcastic.

Samantha [00:47:26]:
Sorry, sorry, sorry. It's like, ah, you have to do ah. And then so.

Lisa [00:47:31]:
So that's the craziness with the languages. Right?

Samantha [00:47:34]:
I know. I'm just saying, I think we do it right. But yeah, I think we do a lot of things right as Canadians.

Lisa [00:47:38]:
So that's the Canadian in a story.

Samantha [00:47:42]:
Yeah. And the word color is not spelt without a U.

Lisa [00:47:45]:
No. You know what? It's not you. It's not. But the world has dropped the U. Hey.

Samantha [00:47:50]:
No, we keep it. The proper Canadian spelling is with a U.

Lisa [00:47:53]:
It's like, how do you say mature?

Samantha [00:47:55]:
Mature.

Lisa [00:47:56]:
Who says mature?

Samantha [00:47:58]:
Matua. There's a mature.

Lisa [00:47:59]:
There's people out there that say it.

Samantha [00:48:01]:
Mature. Mature. It's like mature, like a ch at the end.

Lisa [00:48:05]:
M A, C, H, U, R, E. Mature. That's how you'd spell it, right? It's like when George W. Bush was the president and the big joke was, how do you spell his middle name? W, D, U, B, Y, A W, W, W, W. Yeah, just like it's. Yeah, mature. That's how you do that. That's kind of funny.

Samantha [00:48:30]:
Okay, I'm just. I was just curious. Like I was. And I was listening to her and I'm like, oh, my God, you really do sound different.

Lisa [00:48:37]:
Seems weird.

Samantha [00:48:38]:
I'm like, sorry, progress. It doesn't.

Lisa [00:48:40]:
Like it seems.

Samantha [00:48:42]:
Makes no sense.

Lisa [00:48:43]:
It seems odd, Samantha. It seems very odd. You know, Remember a few weeks ago we were talking about coffee mate?

Samantha [00:48:50]:
Yes, because you're obsessed.

Lisa [00:48:52]:
The world, you're obsessed with obsessed. The world's obsessed.

Samantha [00:48:55]:
And frankly, I don't know if the friends of the podcast need to know about your history with coffee creamer.

Lisa [00:49:00]:
I love coffee mate.

Samantha [00:49:02]:
Right, you don't like coffee, but you love what goes in it.

Lisa [00:49:05]:
I love the powder. I don't love a creamer. I love the powder. I'm old school that way, right?

Samantha [00:49:10]:
That's horrible. I like the powder.

Lisa [00:49:12]:
Like the powder.

Samantha [00:49:12]:
What's the powder? Powder.

Lisa [00:49:15]:
Like a white powder. It's a white powder. Right, the powder. The kind that goes into coffee. Okay, listen. Coffee make creamers. They're gaining more popularity. And makes number one.

Lisa [00:49:25]:
First thing came to my mind. Yeah, hi. Because I shake my head loose and Sam talked about it, of course. And then they've decided that they're bringing back a new fl. A popular demand flavor.

Samantha [00:49:36]:
Oh, what is that?

Lisa [00:49:37]:
Could you ever picture this? Look at my face already. Peanut butter and jelly creamer.

Samantha [00:49:42]:
I don't understand that at all.

Lisa [00:49:43]:
What is that? Like, are we just putting in our coffee to put in our coffee?

Samantha [00:49:46]:
Yeah. Oh, God, I'm such a purist when it comes to coffee.

Lisa [00:49:50]:
Well, hey, you found out that you might like coffee. Coffee again, I've always liked. Remember you had a sensitive tummy and.

Samantha [00:49:58]:
You were like, no, I'm. Now I'm back to drinking my own stuff.

Lisa [00:50:01]:
I think. I think you're just trying to make a point.

Samantha [00:50:04]:
I'm just saying. I'm a coffee purist. It's coffee cream. That's it. I don't even do sugar. Rarely. Unless I'm out and I'm drinking someone else's coffee. Then I'll add sugar.

Lisa [00:50:12]:
How do you know?

Samantha [00:50:13]:
You know?

Lisa [00:50:14]:
How do you know somebody else's coffee needs sugar?

Samantha [00:50:16]:
Just. It's natural.

Lisa [00:50:18]:
Because you just assume it's not your coffee.

Samantha [00:50:20]:
Yeah, pretty much. I think it sucks. I'm snobby that way.

Lisa [00:50:24]:
I think your coffee's bad.

Samantha [00:50:26]:
You don't even know.

Lisa [00:50:27]:
But if I did, I would think it was bad.

Samantha [00:50:28]:
No, you don't.

Lisa [00:50:29]:
Invite me over. Why don't you invite me over? Come over.

Samantha [00:50:31]:
John likes my coffee. He buys my coffee.

Lisa [00:50:33]:
Does he? Why don't you invite me over and I'll come over and have coffee?

Samantha [00:50:36]:
No, I don't want to do that. That's just silly. That's just silly talk. That's just crazy talk. Lisa. Why would we do that?

Lisa [00:50:44]:
Why would.

Samantha [00:50:45]:
Why.

Lisa [00:50:45]:
Why would I tell you where I live? Just remember, one day it's going to be valuable information. I'm going to be like, I just. I don't know.

Samantha [00:50:51]:
I just. I don't know. I just feel like the listeners of the podcast and I feel for you because every once in a while you bring up something that I don't know if people really care about. Do people care about Coffee meat.

Lisa [00:51:04]:
I do like when I'm in a hotel. Quite thankful for it, actually. Right. What are you using in the hotel?

Samantha [00:51:11]:
The coffee mate. That's there.

Lisa [00:51:12]:
And you're thankful that it's there.

Samantha [00:51:14]:
I hate the powdered stuff, though.

Lisa [00:51:15]:
Yeah, but that's what's there. So stop poo pooing it. Problem with you, you feel you have to poo poo everything. Yeah, you do, you do, you do. Oh, let's see if you poo poo this. Do you poo poo that? That? They call it a fudge. And it's the colored marshmallows and the peanut butter.

Samantha [00:51:34]:
That's not fudge.

Lisa [00:51:36]:
They call it a fudge.

Samantha [00:51:37]:
That's not fudge.

Lisa [00:51:38]:
It's. They say it's a fudge.

Samantha [00:51:40]:
That's not fudge.

Lisa [00:51:40]:
They call it a fudge.

Samantha [00:51:42]:
It's peanut butter and marshmallows.

Lisa [00:51:44]:
But what do you call it? A fudge.

Samantha [00:51:46]:
No, it's not.

Lisa [00:51:46]:
It's called a fudge.

Samantha [00:51:47]:
It's called a cake.

Lisa [00:51:49]:
Not a cake. There's no cake.

Samantha [00:51:50]:
It's called like a.

Lisa [00:51:51]:
There's not an egg in it. So there's no cake.

Samantha [00:51:53]:
No. It's a square, then it's a fudge. Oh, my God. Why are we having this conversation? Oh, my God. I'm so sorry. Friends of the podcast.

Lisa [00:52:02]:
I just wanted to know.

Samantha [00:52:03]:
We are now talking about something that you're just trying to even imagine what we're talking about.

Lisa [00:52:08]:
I just want to know if you liked it. Okay.

Samantha [00:52:10]:
It's a brown square with cut. Usually comes with colored marshmallows.

Lisa [00:52:14]:
Yeah.

Samantha [00:52:14]:
And it used to be a 1970s treat.

Lisa [00:52:16]:
Right?

Samantha [00:52:16]:
Am I right? It's not fudge.

Lisa [00:52:20]:
It goes in a fudge pan.

Samantha [00:52:21]:
It's not fudge, though. It's not.

Lisa [00:52:25]:
Because you keep it in the fridge. You would have fudge.

Samantha [00:52:28]:
You would. Because I. It's not fudge.

Lisa [00:52:31]:
It's a fudge.

Samantha [00:52:32]:
No, it's not. And no offense, yuck. I would not eat that.

Lisa [00:52:40]:
That's disgusting.

Samantha [00:52:42]:
Gross. You know what my mother used to make, though? Back in the day, back in the 70s and the 80s, folks, when, you know, things happened and people made stuff by hand. My mother used to make this like brownie based square and then she would put marshmallows on top and then she would put chocolate icing over top. Delicious.

Lisa [00:53:03]:
Makes that sometimes.

Samantha [00:53:04]:
Not very. No, it hasn't been a long, long time. Really long time.

Lisa [00:53:08]:
It's not like a rocky road.

Samantha [00:53:10]:
Yeah, kind of like a rocky road.

Lisa [00:53:12]:
Interesting. Interesting.

Samantha [00:53:14]:
Delicious.

Lisa [00:53:14]:
But, you know, delicious. Totally Icy square. And after eight, time for me. Hey, right now I'm in my. I'm in my.

Samantha [00:53:21]:
Yes, you, you sent me a picture, Lisa.

Lisa [00:53:24]:
I was at the candy aisle at.

Samantha [00:53:25]:
The grocery store and I'm like, oh, it's your season.

Lisa [00:53:28]:
You better get one season. It's the most wonderful time of the year. Right. It's totally.

Samantha [00:53:37]:
Oh God.

Lisa [00:53:38]:
My favorite icy squares followed. I can't even pick a favorite. They're both doubly my favorite icy squares.

Samantha [00:53:46]:
And after eight.

Lisa [00:53:47]:
I love it after eight.

Samantha [00:53:49]:
I know you do.

Lisa [00:53:49]:
It's so much.

Samantha [00:53:51]:
Is it in the square form or the stick form?

Lisa [00:53:53]:
I prefer the square. But you know what? I will chop, chop, chop, chop, chop through a stick really quickly.

Samantha [00:53:58]:
You'll eat through that box in like a heart, Right.

Lisa [00:54:01]:
I feel the sticks aren't fair. Sticks aren't fair. After eight. The square makes you feel elegant and, and grown up. So you just take them carefully.

Samantha [00:54:13]:
Right?

Lisa [00:54:14]:
Sticks.

Samantha [00:54:14]:
You're little classy that way. Yeah.

Lisa [00:54:16]:
Not with the sticks. They're not classy. Hey, they're not fair. Right?

Samantha [00:54:20]:
Oh, I like turtles and I like a good, A good quality street thing.

Lisa [00:54:25]:
Is with the quality streets, right? You take the road map and you look at the ones and the ones that are good is you got the pink one and the bright blue one. That's it. Don't give me that big round medallion. That's just a piece of toffee. Give me the. That's, that's toffee with a bit of chocolate. It's the pink triangle and the bright blue teal colored triangle. That's all I'll leave out of that.

Samantha [00:54:50]:
No. Well, and then we are totally forgetting pot of gold.

Lisa [00:54:56]:
Yeah. Because they went and they made a hundred pots of gold.

Samantha [00:54:59]:
I know, but they're good.

Lisa [00:55:02]:
Depends on the map.

Samantha [00:55:04]:
Depends on the map.

Lisa [00:55:05]:
But you have to get. If you're going to get a set of a box of chocolates, it needs to come with a good set of rules, right?

Samantha [00:55:11]:
That's true.

Lisa [00:55:12]:
Right. And it's a slippery slope for me because usually there's more bad than good. And then I just remember the disgusting thing that we used to do as kids. And I don't know, I can't believe I'm the only 70s kid that did this, but maybe I am. We would take a bite, ate it and put it back in the box. Right?

Samantha [00:55:36]:
Oh my God.

Lisa [00:55:37]:
Like we just learned that one on our own.

Samantha [00:55:39]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:55:40]:
Right. Like I never saw my mother do that.

Samantha [00:55:42]:
You know what I enjoyed the Christmases of when we were kids because the pot of gold was something that only showed up for Christmas.

Lisa [00:55:49]:
Totally. Right.

Samantha [00:55:50]:
And that was a big deal. If you got a pot of gold, you were like, right.

Lisa [00:55:54]:
When making it showed up at our house, it meant Andy Bird and Uncle Bob were there because there came the pot of Go or the. Or the Quality street or whatever. Right.

Samantha [00:56:03]:
Did you used to. Did anybody or did your parents get the chocolates with the. The coffee liqueur in them?

Lisa [00:56:10]:
Oh, yeah, for sure. Those bad boys, like, we're going out of style, right?

Samantha [00:56:17]:
My dad likes those ones.

Lisa [00:56:19]:
That's disgusting, too.

Samantha [00:56:22]:
My mom likes the ones with the cherries. And I'm like, oh, you're so gross.

Lisa [00:56:25]:
Aren't those like Princess Ann's or something? Those are nasty.

Samantha [00:56:29]:
So gross.

Lisa [00:56:29]:
Never was a fan of that guy either. Right. That's just a bad guy.

Samantha [00:56:33]:
And you didn't put any of those on your, like, fancy Facebook posts.

Lisa [00:56:36]:
I didn't. And I didn't put icy squares either, because I. I thought, I can't fend off two. I knew that. I knew. I knew after eights were going to be picked at, but I'm like, I am not prepared to defend two of them today.

Samantha [00:56:48]:
No, you are not.

Lisa [00:56:49]:
Right. Only one woman. Only one girl. Samantha.

Samantha [00:56:52]:
People have always very strong opinions of chocolate.

Lisa [00:56:55]:
They do, right? They do. My boss. Boss said the other day at work, did you ever get the one that was the orange? Ew. Who wants that one? That Terry's chocolate orange?

Samantha [00:57:06]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:57:06]:
I'm like, no.

Samantha [00:57:08]:
No.

Lisa [00:57:08]:
I feel she might have liked it from the look on her face when she was, like, kind of like, you know, not making. That was not a cool comment to say, actually. I'm like, that was not. That was worse than my comment earlier. Oh.

Samantha [00:57:27]:
Oh, my God. Okay. But all of this, like, holiday stuff is. We're so close to Christma. Does having a tree skirt for your tree make you an adult?

Lisa [00:57:36]:
Well, it makes you less. A monster.

Samantha [00:57:38]:
I know.

Lisa [00:57:39]:
Hi. Like, you just had naked tree.

Samantha [00:57:42]:
No, I have a tree skirt.

Lisa [00:57:44]:
But before, your tree wasn't wearing pants.

Samantha [00:57:46]:
Well. And then I bought one. Yeah.

Lisa [00:57:47]:
You have to have one.

Samantha [00:57:48]:
I wasn't wearing pants.

Lisa [00:57:49]:
She wasn't wearing pants.

Samantha [00:57:51]:
Serious.

Lisa [00:57:52]:
I'm serious.

Samantha [00:57:53]:
Serious.

Lisa [00:57:54]:
They make. Hi. You put your pet in a coat, you put a skirt on your tree. Right, right. Trees have feelings, too, you know, you dress up. You dress. You dress the whole tree up with goodies and beauty, beautiful things.

Samantha [00:58:15]:
Yes. Yeah.

Lisa [00:58:16]:
Leave it naked from the need.

Samantha [00:58:19]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:58:19]:
You know, it would never do that to your dog naked. Send your dog out with three boots. Instead of four.

Samantha [00:58:25]:
That's true, right?

Lisa [00:58:26]:
Yeah, very true. Let's make you. Well, I guess it makes you adulty.

Samantha [00:58:30]:
It does make you an adult. I'm just, just asking because again, I saw it on Tick Tock with this. Somebody made a comment because this guy had a tree and he didn't have a tree skirt. And it's like, what kind of adult are you that you don't have a tree skirt? I'm like, oh, does a tree skirt mean that you, you have a. If you have one, you're an adult. Like, poof, you're good.

Lisa [00:58:47]:
Yeah, right. Go to the dollar store, buy your tree skirt and go. Right.

Samantha [00:58:52]:
The, the things we judge people on are amazing.

Lisa [00:58:55]:
Well, I just think that it means your tree is not finished. And that's not very classy.

Samantha [00:59:01]:
Your tree is not finished. It's a little naked, right?

Lisa [00:59:04]:
She's half naked. She. Apparently somebody forgot to put her trousers on today.

Samantha [00:59:08]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:59:10]:
I don't know. I think that's interesting. Here's something I've been wondering about. Why do we buy gifts for adults? Because you know what I think? Pretty sure they got their own money and they can buy their own slippers.

Samantha [00:59:23]:
I agree.

Lisa [00:59:24]:
Right?

Samantha [00:59:25]:
I agree. But I have an alternative.

Lisa [00:59:27]:
Okay.

Samantha [00:59:28]:
I have an argument. I have a. I have a comeback. I have like an opposing thought. Imagine that is, who doesn't like presents at Christmas?

Lisa [00:59:38]:
It's fine, but when you. But, but do you need to get. Then buy a presents for others, but when you're buying presents for adults, they can get their own presents. You know what? I'll get my own present. Thanks.

Samantha [00:59:47]:
But even as an adult, even if you only get one gift on Christmas, it's kind of nice, a Christmas morning to like wake up and like open a present.

Lisa [00:59:55]:
Why is that? Who says so?

Samantha [00:59:57]:
As an adult, born out of tradition.

Lisa [01:00:01]:
I don't know.

Samantha [01:00:01]:
Habits forming.

Lisa [01:00:02]:
I just think, you know what? I know what candle I'd like maybe better than you do.

Samantha [01:00:09]:
I know I do. I have on occasion been known to buy my own presents, wrap them and put them under the tree and unwrap them and be surprised.

Lisa [01:00:16]:
Right? And then there's that too. Right. I just think. I don't know. I just think, why do we buy adults? Why do we buying adult gifts?

Samantha [01:00:23]:
I mean, it does get harder year after year because you're right, I can go get my own slippers. I can go get my own candle.

Lisa [01:00:30]:
Right.

Samantha [01:00:30]:
I totally understand that. But yet here we are buying each other presents, not knowing what to buy and hoping that it's Good.

Lisa [01:00:37]:
Right. And in one sense. Right. We're kind of. Really. Might as well either do one or two things. Either a set the money on fire or just give them the cash.

Samantha [01:00:46]:
We should set the money on fire.

Lisa [01:00:48]:
Right?

Samantha [01:00:49]:
We should set the money on fire.

Lisa [01:00:50]:
Set the money on fire. Right. Because really. Right. We're just gounging looking for something that you might like. I don't really know what you need.

Samantha [01:00:58]:
No.

Lisa [01:00:59]:
Just doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Samantha [01:01:01]:
Sometimes I think we do it out of guilt as well.

Lisa [01:01:03]:
It could be that too. Right. You know, because you don't want to look like the loser who's not giving a gift. Right. But then why should I feel like a loser because you decided to buy an adult a gift. I don't know. I get what you're saying. I get it.

Lisa [01:01:16]:
It just seems odd to me. You know what else I'm shaking my head at? You know, every year I like to send out my annual Christmas letter.

Samantha [01:01:23]:
I know. Yeah.

Lisa [01:01:24]:
I shake my head at Canada Post because, hey, friends of the podcast that aren't in Canada, our mail is on strike.

Samantha [01:01:31]:
They're on strike.

Lisa [01:01:32]:
They're on strike. Right. So. So. So I didn't get to send out my Christmas letter for the first time in my life.

Samantha [01:01:39]:
Oh, yeah.

Lisa [01:01:40]:
Right.

Samantha [01:01:41]:
And what would you have said in said Christmas letter?

Lisa [01:01:43]:
I just like to give a little update on how everybody's doing. Right. And how. How the years.

Samantha [01:01:50]:
What exactly are you telling people?

Lisa [01:01:53]:
Just a little bit about the family, a little bit about how the Gibsons are. Right. Just. It's just. It's brief. Right. There's not a whole lot to say.

Samantha [01:02:01]:
And who is this going to?

Lisa [01:02:02]:
Not. Not as many people as it once did. Yes. Right. I've got an aunt and uncle I still like to send it to.

Samantha [01:02:09]:
Oh, that's lovely.

Lisa [01:02:10]:
Sometimes a cousin. Right?

Samantha [01:02:12]:
Did your mother teach you this?

Lisa [01:02:13]:
No, no, no. My. So my cousin Shelly, her grandpa. So who is my great uncle, so who is my grandpa's brother, taught me the importance of a Christmas letter. Every year you write a Christmas letter with a little update on how you and your family are doing.

Samantha [01:02:31]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [01:02:31]:
And I just. It stuck.

Samantha [01:02:35]:
The unusual things that you do.

Lisa [01:02:37]:
It's weird, right? Just like that. I just throw everything right out right off.

Samantha [01:02:42]:
Yes. Yeah. You hate giving presents, but you're gonna. You're gonna write. I'm gonna write Christmas letter right. To people and mail it out and mail it.

Lisa [01:02:51]:
Totally.

Samantha [01:02:52]:
All right.

Lisa [01:02:52]:
And. Well, you know, and I send cards. Right.

Samantha [01:02:54]:
Oh, there you go.

Lisa [01:02:55]:
Sender too Right. So I didn't get to send cards this year. My first year not giving my father a Christmas card. Weird. Hey, here's hoping we have another Christmas, right? Just saying. I shake my head at Canada Post.

Samantha [01:03:11]:
Oh, don't, don't. They are striking, for reasons, anyway, that are very poignant to them.

Lisa [01:03:21]:
You know what I want, Samantha? If I was the world's best inventor, like, let's say I was Einstein, and I invented stuff like he did, I would want to invent an adult bouncy chair. Like, you know, the ones that the baby goes in and he just sits? No, I want to just sit and just bounce. Like this.

Samantha [01:03:40]:
That lay in bound.

Lisa [01:03:41]:
Yeah, like, kind of lay and bounce.

Samantha [01:03:43]:
Oh, my God. Do you want to be rocked to sleep? Is that what's happening?

Lisa [01:03:46]:
I just want to be whatever that is, whatever that motion is.

Samantha [01:03:49]:
Or do you want to bounce from the ceiling? Like, do you want something to come from the ceiling and bounce my leg down?

Lisa [01:03:54]:
My legs still have to do that work, right? Yes, they do. Nope, not interested. Right. I'm not interested in.

Samantha [01:03:59]:
You want the bouncy chair to move on its own, right?

Lisa [01:04:02]:
Right. You set the timer and I moved it. That's what I want. That's what I want.

Samantha [01:04:07]:
So you basically, you want a bouncy chair so you can take a nap.

Lisa [01:04:10]:
I just want a bouncy chair. Yeah. Because I heard about one on the radio, and I think it's not really a bouncy chair. It's a special chair for women who have pelvic floor issues and give some, like, one bajillion Kegels in two minutes.

Samantha [01:04:30]:
Yes. I believe Shauna Foster tried that. And it's at Midwest Laser.

Lisa [01:04:34]:
Right? And I'm like, let's take that, not for that, and make it a bouncy chair.

Samantha [01:04:40]:
No, it's not a. It's vibrate. It vibrates.

Lisa [01:04:43]:
I'll take a vibrating chair.

Samantha [01:04:45]:
Okay.

Lisa [01:04:45]:
When we were kids, we used to go to Niagara Falls and we'd have two separate rooms, right? Because there was five of us. And my mom and dad would give us quarters, and they'd be like, hey, plug the. Plugged the meter in the bed, and it had a vibrating bed. And we just thought it was awesome. We didn't realize what it was for probably till we were much, much older. It was like, oh, oh, oh, yeah. Falls in the 70s.

Samantha [01:05:10]:
That's horrible.

Lisa [01:05:11]:
That was a classy place.

Samantha [01:05:12]:
Yes. So classy. Oh, my God.

Lisa [01:05:17]:
Oh, Samantha.

Samantha [01:05:18]:
No, no, no, no, no, no.

Lisa [01:05:20]:
But I think bouncy chair for an adult okay. Right.

Samantha [01:05:24]:
All right.

Lisa [01:05:25]:
That when it's done, it just props you up and out you get.

Samantha [01:05:29]:
Right?

Lisa [01:05:30]:
It's like a little bounce in my life. That's all I'm saying.

Samantha [01:05:35]:
You know what? If you want it to vibrate, that's a whole different kind of.

Lisa [01:05:39]:
We've. We've. We've. We know I'm good, right? I am so good.

Samantha [01:05:46]:
You just want it to bounce enough. Like, bounce. Just a little slight bounce to kind of get you sleepy. Sleepy time.

Lisa [01:05:52]:
Like, that's the best, right? Anything that can vibrate and put a woman to sleep, that's actually what we're looking for. I think that's gonna put me to sleep for the process, not get y'all hot and bothered. I don't need that. I wanna nod right off things. Don't take it personally. It's the chair. Just think of all the women that would have an excuse. Right? It's the hair, dear.

Lisa [01:06:14]:
It was a chair.

Samantha [01:06:15]:
Huh.

Lisa [01:06:17]:
That's kind of funny.

Samantha [01:06:18]:
Well, I need us to introduce something new, and it's actually not even my idea. I got it from John.

Lisa [01:06:24]:
Okay.

Samantha [01:06:27]:
Because I think we should do this. And I. And I want to encourage our listeners to become our podcast ambassador.

Lisa [01:06:35]:
Oh, I love it.

Samantha [01:06:36]:
Yeah. And I want you guys to help us grow our podcast by sharing us on your socials and talking us up to your friends and your family or just honestly, strangers. We'll. We'll take strangers. And we want you guys to become podcast ambassadors. And then shake my hand.

Lisa [01:06:53]:
And when you do it and you share it and you tag us, maybe Samantha, we can have a draw and we can, like, put names in the draw of all the people who shared us.

Samantha [01:07:02]:
Yeah.

Lisa [01:07:03]:
And maybe.

Samantha [01:07:04]:
And then we'll give you a little. We'll give you a little prize, get.

Lisa [01:07:06]:
You some trinkets from. I shake my head with Lisa.

Samantha [01:07:10]:
Who knows what I have still around here, right?

Lisa [01:07:13]:
God knows we haven't been able to send them out yet. Again, I shake my head at the post, though, but I think podcast ambassador is awesome because. Right.

Samantha [01:07:21]:
Yeah.

Lisa [01:07:21]:
Like. Like when that Spotify wrapped thing came out, like, Gracie, she. She shared. Shared. And I think Carol did too.

Samantha [01:07:29]:
Carol did as well.

Lisa [01:07:30]:
You know what? That just helps us grow. Right? And that's all we're trying to do is just grow. Grow and get more listeners. Because we think that the whole wide world needs to laugh at Lisa and Sam.

Samantha [01:07:40]:
Exactly. And a social share is easy. And just talking to somebody about what you're listening to in the podcast and getting people interested in listening to Podcasts.

Lisa [01:07:48]:
Yeah.

Samantha [01:07:49]:
You know, definitely, you know, become our podcast ambassador. That would be fabulous.

Lisa [01:07:53]:
I would love that so much. I hope that. I hope that you'll all do it.

Samantha [01:07:57]:
Yes.

Lisa [01:07:57]:
Right.

Samantha [01:07:58]:
Share with us what you're doing.

Lisa [01:07:59]:
Share.

Samantha [01:08:00]:
And we'll put your names in a little draw and then we'll draw and hopefully by the time we do the drive, we won't have a Canada post track anymore.

Lisa [01:08:07]:
Exactly. Because you remember that commercial back from and she told two friends and so on. And that's what we're looking for. We're looking for the and so ons. We're looking for some and so on friends, the podcast.

I would like us to move to 120. Guys, come on.

Lisa [01:08:52]:
Didn't we want to be someplace by February?

Samantha [01:08:55]:

And we also want to just thank John for editing our podcast each week. He makes us sound better than we probably should.

Lisa [01:09:37]:
Thanks, John. And you weren't going to. You weren't going to bring it up, were you?

Samantha [01:09:42]:
No. Of course no. I'm proud. Still. I'm still proud.

Lisa [01:09:46]:
We have a dirty secret we need to un. We need to unveil. What did you ask me to do? You asked what? You asked me to throw the game.

Samantha [01:09:55]:
Yes, I did. I wanted you to throw the game.

Lisa [01:09:57]:
And then I Said to you, I will not do that because you would not do that for me.

Samantha [01:10:01]:
No, I wouldn't.

Lisa [01:10:01]:
So, no, I did not throw the game. I won the game.

Samantha [01:10:05]:
Yes, you did. And that's fine because my guys were just not pulling through.

Lisa [01:10:08]:
You know what? It happens right now. We head to the playoffs. We still got playoffs, right? You got the consolation side. You can win that.

Samantha [01:10:15]:
No, I'm not. I'm not in the playoffs.

Lisa [01:10:17]:
You still have games for the next four weeks.

Samantha [01:10:20]:
No, I don't.

Lisa [01:10:20]:
Yes, you do. Take a look at your thing.

Samantha [01:10:22]:
Oh, I just talked to John. He convinced me I wasn't in the playoff.

Lisa [01:10:25]:
No, I think that you can't win, but I think you still have games for the next two weeks.

Samantha [01:10:29]:
Why do I. Why am I in the games then?

Lisa [01:10:31]:
I'm pretty sure that you saw. Because it's combined. You just can't win the championship. Oh, well, then what? You've been out of the championship. You never were going to win the championship.

Samantha [01:10:42]:
But I'm actually pretty proud of my score. It's seven and seven.

Lisa [01:10:45]:
Yeah. So you did 500, which is awesome.

Samantha [01:10:47]:
That's pretty good, man. You did really good.

Lisa [01:10:50]:
You did really good. So I'm moving on to the. To the, to the. To the big leagues.

Samantha [01:10:54]:
Yes. Because. And by the way, I do need to let you know, John said. I said, what do you think? If she wins again? He goes, we're kicking her out of the panties.

Lisa [01:11:09]:
How can I take a 13th round pick and become an A plus team?

Samantha [01:11:15]:
I don't know.

Lisa [01:11:16]:
I don't know.

Samantha [01:11:16]:
But he is laughing because he thinks it's funny. He got booted out. His score was like five something. I don't know. I did better than he did.

Lisa [01:11:24]:
Yeah, exactly. So that was pretty good. So. But we're going to still keep you posted, friends in the podcast.

Samantha [01:11:29]:
So just in case anybody wanted to know, I am still a fake fan. I still don't watch football, but for some reason, the fantasy football I was.

Lisa [01:11:37]:
Okay with, it was kind of fun, right? It's kind of fun. We'll look into it. We'll let you know, Samantha, if you still got more games to play. All right, all right, all right. Anything else you want to talk about?

Samantha [01:11:48]:
No, I'm good.

Lisa [01:11:48]:
I'm better. Oh, all right. You sure you got nothing else?

Samantha [01:11:56]:
Yes, I'm. I'm fine, Lisa.

Lisa [01:11:58]:
All right, well, I'm still better Anyways. Friends of the podcast, have a great week. Samantha, always a pleasure. Should be one day we'll learn how to wrap it up. Who's a pretty girl. I'm a pretty girl.
