Hooters Intrigue: Lisa Dares And Sam Despairs

Lisa [00:00:06]:
Do you ever think it's weird that some parents can just randomly make a Taylor Swift and other parents like ours, Samantha. Just make people like us?

Samantha [00:00:16]:
Well, when you phrase it like that. I never thought my life was horrible, Lisa.

Lisa [00:00:22]:
But thank.

Samantha [00:00:23]:
Thanks for making me feel like, I don't know, a piece of shit.

Lisa [00:00:26]:
I don't think I'm trying to make you feel like a piece of. Because I'm throwing myself in there, too.

Samantha [00:00:30]:
Really?

Lisa [00:00:31]:
What I'm saying is, how come she gets to be Taylor Swift and we're Lisa and Sam?

Samantha [00:00:40]:
I don't know. The luck of the draw.

Lisa [00:00:43]:
You think it's just the luck of the draw? Do you think it was just like. And we pulled the short stick?

Samantha [00:00:49]:
Apparently it was a very short stick. Because she's Taylor Swift.

Lisa [00:00:52]:
Because she's Taylor Swift and we're Lisa and Sam. Right? Right. And don't get me wrong, right? I think both of our families have good genes. Right. I think we come from good, strong folk. But we're not coming from Taylor Swift folk.

Samantha [00:01:04]:
No, we. No, we are not.

Lisa [00:01:06]:
Hence why we're not Taylor Swift people.

Samantha [00:01:09]:
Oh, my God. I've never been. I've never been made to feel horrible being compared to Taylor Swift. I'm not trying to suck. I suck. And she's awesome. I'm like, I love Taylor Swift, but I never knew. I never really thought, oh, I should be her.

Samantha [00:01:25]:
But thank you for making me think that I should have been her. And why. And why am I not her?

Lisa [00:01:31]:
No, you got it all backwards, right? I'm just reinforcing the fact you never were gonna be her. I never was gonna be her. We're just. We just come from the people we come from. We come from our stock, which is just good, good people, Lisa.

Samantha [00:01:46]:
But there will always be those people.

Lisa [00:01:50]:
I know.

Samantha [00:01:50]:
And us.

Lisa [00:01:51]:
But don't you think it's weird that.

Samantha [00:01:53]:
There'S always and us, but there will always be those people and us.

Lisa [00:01:59]:
But why can't there just be and those people?

Samantha [00:02:02]:
I don't know.

Lisa [00:02:03]:
And we're part of the mix and.

Samantha [00:02:05]:
Because we're just going to be us. And that's going to have to be good.

Lisa [00:02:10]:
Because it's good.

Samantha [00:02:11]:
We got nothing else.

Lisa [00:02:14]:
But it's certainly not Taylor Swift Good.

Samantha [00:02:16]:
It's certainly not.

Lisa [00:02:18]:
Thanks.

Samantha [00:02:21]:
I feel like we need to move on. I think it's time to start the podcast.

Lisa [00:02:25]:
Hello, friends of the podcast.

Samantha [00:02:28]:
Hello, everybody. Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:02:32]:
Oh, Samantha. These are just some of the things I think about.

Samantha [00:02:35]:
It is so unfortunate, right?

Lisa [00:02:37]:
I just thought about it. I'm just like, hey, how come I'm not Taylor Swift?

Samantha [00:02:41]:
I don't know, Lisa. Why aren't you?

Lisa [00:02:43]:
I don't know. I got things I want to talk about. I want to talk about how the best wings in town basically come from a men's only club. Guess what, world Wings want women. Women want wings, too.

Samantha [00:02:57]:
Okay. Can't wait to hear that, right? Oh, my God. Okay, well, I have something way more important because it's, of course, about me and what has happening to my body. It's becoming a musical instrument that I wasn't really prepared for.

Lisa [00:03:12]:
Oh, it sounds weird and awkward and maybe you're closer to Taylor Swift than we realize. I don't know. And you know. And you know what? For me, Samantha, I still got church on my mind, right? I still got church. I'm wondering. And we're going to have to delve into this bad boy. I'm wondering if we should be making the yearly grand P pilgrimage to the church.

Samantha [00:03:34]:
Speak for yourself.

Lisa [00:03:39]:
Okay, but you know what? This is the whole thing, right, Is I need to understand the whole chicken wings thing, right? We love chicken wings.

Samantha [00:03:47]:
Yes, we do.

Lisa [00:03:48]:
So I'm shaking my head at Hooters because apparently Hooters make the best wings, right? That's their thing, right? They claim that they make the best wings. And if they make the best wings, I want to be able to eat those wings.

Samantha [00:04:03]:
So are we making a trip to Hooters? Because you're doing that on your own.

Lisa [00:04:11]:
Why? Why can't we just go?

Samantha [00:04:13]:
We're there for the football, not uncomfortable.

Lisa [00:04:16]:
Only if you let it be.

Samantha [00:04:17]:
It's uncomfortable.

Lisa [00:04:18]:
That's stereotypical. You're falling for your follow. You're falling into the stereotypes of I'm here for the atmosphere, not the food. You and I, we're here for the food. We're just here for the food.

Samantha [00:04:30]:
I can't. I can't. You know, I hate it when you become curious about something because that always involves me and I don't want to. This is Jan Arden standing on the side of the road waiting for her to come by because we thought she was driving, traveling from Regina.

Lisa [00:04:49]:
This is.

Samantha [00:04:49]:
Has this smacks of all of that because you're like a around and find out kind of gal, and I am not. I am not that person. I am not as curious as you about certain things, and I am not curious about what the inside of Hooters looks like or whether or not their wings are good.

Lisa [00:05:06]:
You know, their wings are good. They're known for their wings. And half Naked women.

Samantha [00:05:10]:
It's Saskatoon. It's not the original Hooters.

Lisa [00:05:16]:
It's a chain. They still got to taste this.

Samantha [00:05:18]:
No, I.

Lisa [00:05:19]:
No, listen, it's just.

Samantha [00:05:21]:
No, I'm just. It's.

Lisa [00:05:22]:
I'm just being practical. I feel.

Samantha [00:05:25]:
I feel not even there. And I feel dirty. I feel dirty.

Lisa [00:05:31]:
I don't like that, and I don't.

Samantha [00:05:33]:
Want that for me. No, no, no. Don't let it bring in everybody. That's our new place to go. We're going to Hooters with Michelle and fancy Nancy. That's what we're doing.

Lisa [00:05:44]:
I bet you fancy Nancy would be in. Michelle hates wings. Michelle hates wings.

Samantha [00:05:50]:
That's true. She hates it. So she would go if they had a happy hour, for sure.

Lisa [00:05:54]:
Right? Or if we bribe her. I just want to try the wings.

Samantha [00:05:59]:
I'm, like, so uncomfortable.

Lisa [00:06:00]:
I just want to try the wings. Right. I just want to go there for the experience. And just because their image is what it is, it doesn't mean that has to interfere with good wings for me.

Samantha [00:06:10]:
No, no. Because I am. I'm done with your whole around and find out attitude. I am done with it. I'm so done.

Lisa [00:06:17]:
Guess what? It hasn't really led us astray.

Samantha [00:06:19]:
Yes, it has.

Lisa [00:06:20]:
Not that astray. Not that astray.

Samantha [00:06:22]:
Yes, it has.

Lisa [00:06:23]:
Not that astray. This is.

Samantha [00:06:25]:
This is so. I'm not. I can't. No, you can.

Lisa [00:06:27]:
You can.

Samantha [00:06:28]:
No, no.

Lisa [00:06:28]:
You can. Let me help you with this.

Samantha [00:06:30]:
No. What if we go there and we recognize people so they're not naked. I know, but it just. You might as well be.

Lisa [00:06:40]:
It's not like clothing is. It's like eating at the beach.

Samantha [00:06:48]:
No.

Lisa [00:06:49]:
Same people in their bathing suits. Some look better than others, I'm sure.

Samantha [00:06:52]:
Oh, right.

Lisa [00:06:55]:
Don't tell me women don't go in there.

Samantha [00:06:57]:
Oh, I'm sure they do. But you know what? I just think it's wrong.

Lisa [00:07:01]:
Really? I think we're going to put this to the desk. Hey, friends of the podcast, let's. How about if we put it on a poll and the poll wins? If the poll comes back saying Lisa and Sam need to go to the Hooters.

Samantha [00:07:14]:
No.

Lisa [00:07:15]:
Lisa and Sam need to go to the Hooters. No.

Samantha [00:07:17]:
I'm not being bullied into this.

Lisa [00:07:18]:
You love chicken wings.

Samantha [00:07:20]:
I don't love a wing.

Lisa [00:07:22]:
You love a wing. You love a wing.

Samantha [00:07:26]:
Stop saying it like that, you fucking creep. Oh, my God, you're so gross. You know, you. You find the ample opportunity to get creepy and weird, and it is just inappropriate. It is Inappropriate.

Lisa [00:07:43]:
I'm just a girl looking for wings.

Samantha [00:07:45]:
And I feel like if we go there, this, this is like feminism has broken down and I'm like stomping on the. The bodies of.

Lisa [00:07:59]:
Because it's a restaurant, we should be able to go and eat wings.

Samantha [00:08:03]:
Does it have to be us?

Lisa [00:08:05]:
Maybe there's women all over North America just wanting a Hooters wing. Just wanting a wing.

Samantha [00:08:11]:
I just want a wing.

Lisa [00:08:12]:
Maybe this is our Taylor Swift. Okay, rise up.

Samantha [00:08:15]:
Okay, but then let's dig. Let's dig this a little deeper, you little freakazoid. Why isn't there a dinky do? Like scooters, but why isn't there a dinky do? And then the dinky do has men in tight shorts with his dinky do's, the package sort of hanging out. And they're bare chested, right?

Lisa [00:08:37]:
Like the 70s package, right? Like a, like a, like a metal singer from the 70s. And there's a package right there on his left. Package, left thigh.

Samantha [00:08:44]:
Like, why. Why aren't there bars catered to that?

Lisa [00:08:49]:
Maybe we need to. Maybe somebody needs to invent a dinky do.

Samantha [00:08:52]:
A dinky do.

Lisa [00:08:53]:
What are they serving at the Dinky Do? What are they serving? Are they serving like hot dogs and burgers?

Samantha [00:09:00]:
They're. They're serving martinis.

Lisa [00:09:02]:
Oh, it's very.

Samantha [00:09:03]:
It's a very classy club. It's an exquisite club.

Lisa [00:09:08]:
Hey, HHG. We'll meet you at the Dinky do at 4:30.

Samantha [00:09:12]:
It's the only thing I could think of. I don't know what you would call it.

Lisa [00:09:16]:
I think dinky do is okay. Oh my God. Right, but that would officially be.

Samantha [00:09:21]:
But there's something. Okay, but don't you think it's odd. Don't you think it's odd that we cater to a man's fascination of women's boobs and call it Hooters? But there's nothing for women.

Lisa [00:09:31]:
No.

Samantha [00:09:32]:
Like, not everybody wants to. Not everybody wants to just go to a wine bar and drink wine sometimes. Occasionally you want to see like a hunky guy serve you a drink, right?

Lisa [00:09:40]:
And I don't necessarily want to be at the Chippendales, right, where he's all like oiled up, dancing.

Samantha [00:09:45]:
I don't need them to strip for me.

Lisa [00:09:47]:
Right?

Samantha [00:09:47]:
That's okay. I need you to serve me. I need you to be nice and I need you to like, look good.

Lisa [00:09:52]:
And I need to see your package on your left thigh in your tight cut off shorts like, like, I don't know, Gene Simmons and. And those Guys from Kiss back in the day.

Samantha [00:10:03]:
Yeah. And it's like. And then they could do the tight pants song is like a little, you.

Lisa [00:10:07]:
Know, tight pants on. And they could have a competition and they could parade. They could be on parade. But not a hairy fest. No, Harry, I just created a new restaurant, Dinky Do. If there's any investors out there listening to I shake my head with Lisa and Sam, and they're curious about starting up a new franchise called the Dinky do or your girls.

Samantha [00:10:31]:
Or better yet, it's Hallmark Christmas themed. Naked men.

Lisa [00:10:35]:
No, I'm not participating. You just killed it. You just killed the Dinky Do. And just like that, the Dinky dude died. Not even a slow, painful death. A quick, aggressive. Yeah, Dinky Doo's done. Way to fine.

Lisa [00:10:51]:
Way to kill the dream.

Samantha [00:10:53]:
Whatever.

Lisa [00:10:54]:
Oh, God, you had such a good thing.

Samantha [00:10:58]:
I did have a good thing. And then I around Hallmark into it, right? Oh, whatever. It's fine.

Lisa [00:11:06]:
All right. That's fine. Samantha.

Samantha [00:11:09]:
I'm probably too old to start a Dinky Doo franchise because as I get up every morning, everything crackles and pops.

Lisa [00:11:17]:
Yeah, but you still got your eyes that work.

Samantha [00:11:20]:
Apparently I do.

Lisa [00:11:21]:
Right? So you can still look at the Dinky Do.

Samantha [00:11:23]:
Still look at them. But in this weather, oh, my God. Because it's been so cold, everything is like. I don't know, are you like Rice Krispies?

Lisa [00:11:33]:
Snap, Crackle, Pop, Right?

Samantha [00:11:34]:
Every time. Every time I stand up, doesn't matter what I'm doing.

Lisa [00:11:39]:
It's like everything, like things you didn't even know could crack and pop.

Samantha [00:11:43]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:11:44]:
And then like I said before, I come with like, new sound, new sound effects, right? I stand up, I'm like, I don't need to make a. Huh. It's not that hard. But all of a sudden, in my 55th year, I'm, huh, Right? Or then I'm. Or I get up and I'm like.

Samantha [00:11:59]:
I have to be.

Lisa [00:12:00]:
So much energy was just exerted.

Samantha [00:12:02]:
Well. And I think I feel like this winter. Winter, it's going to be a slippery slope, right? Of me just sitting and I'm like, well, that won't be good for anything. I'll never get up again.

Lisa [00:12:12]:
You won't, Right? Because. Because here's the thing with you, Samantha, and friends of the podcast, and you're just learning about Lisa and Sam. You need to know Sam's leg. A bear, right? When the winter comes, that girl goes into hibernation. She wants a blanket and her snacks and her remote control. She's watching. As long as she's watching something and not moving.

Samantha [00:12:35]:
Yep, pretty much.

Lisa [00:12:36]:
You don't have a lot of. A lot of prerequisites, right? Just.

Samantha [00:12:40]:
No, I have prerequisites. I have taste when it comes to.

Lisa [00:12:43]:
You have hibernation standards. Do you really?

Samantha [00:12:45]:
Yes, I do.

Lisa [00:12:46]:
I do.

Samantha [00:12:47]:
I do. I don't know. You're being rude.

Lisa [00:12:51]:
I'm not trying to be rude. I'm just saying I don't.

Samantha [00:12:53]:
You know, this is the difference between you and I. Rudeness. No.

Lisa [00:12:57]:
Okay, good.

Samantha [00:12:58]:
Because you poo poo everything I watch. But I don't poo poo anything that you watch, you little serial killer freak.

Lisa [00:13:05]:
Really? Because that's not poo pooing. Sorry, what's that sound? Oh, that's the toilet flushing. The poo poo down. You told. Oh, do you want to watch the Chicago's?

Samantha [00:13:17]:
No.

Lisa [00:13:18]:
Why?

Samantha [00:13:19]:
Because they're boring.

Lisa [00:13:20]:
They're boring, Right? Right. You want to watch American Idol?

Samantha [00:13:24]:
No.

Lisa [00:13:24]:
Why?

Samantha [00:13:25]:
Because boring.

Lisa [00:13:26]:
Totally. There's three examples of poo poos, right? So, yes, I think we. I think we adequately poo poo each other when it comes to that.

Samantha [00:13:35]:
Oh, whatever.

Lisa [00:13:36]:
Right. We are best friends with nothing in common.

Samantha [00:13:39]:
This is true.

Lisa [00:13:40]:
Right?

Samantha [00:13:41]:
This is true.

Lisa [00:13:42]:
What is our most common trait?

Samantha [00:13:45]:
That we like to make fun of other people kind of.

Lisa [00:13:48]:
Right. And that we're judgmental.

Samantha [00:13:49]:
We're judgmental.

Lisa [00:13:51]:
I think that's. I think that's kind of things. Okay, so speaking about judgmental, okay, apparently my mind is needing some. Some spiritual work, right? I'm wondering, Samantha. And it's probably the time of year, right? You know, somebody has. Somebody's got a birthday coming up. That's. That's Jesus.

Samantha [00:14:14]:
And it's not you.

Lisa [00:14:15]:
It's not me. That's in July. So this is what I've been thinking lately, right? I've just been kind of like. I don't know, I wonder if it's time to have in like check in with the Lord, right? Like check in with Jesus time or, or go hang out with him at his house. Like, should we be once a year making a visit with our Lord.

Samantha [00:14:35]:
Okay.

Lisa [00:14:36]:
Do you think?

Samantha [00:14:37]:
No.

Lisa [00:14:38]:
Well, here's.

Samantha [00:14:41]:
I don't need to burst into flames when I go into a church. So that's number one.

Lisa [00:14:46]:
Going once a year and. And establishing reestablishing our friendship with Jesus.

Samantha [00:14:52]:
No, him and I, we're good. We're good.

Lisa [00:14:57]:
You're.

Samantha [00:14:58]:
You're.

Lisa [00:14:58]:
You're. That Jesus just wants a fair weather friend and I don't know if he does.

Samantha [00:15:03]:
Oh my God.

Lisa [00:15:04]:
I don't Know if that's what Jesus is.

Samantha [00:15:05]:
I am not going to a church with you.

Lisa [00:15:08]:
I think it's time to check in with.

Samantha [00:15:10]:
You will drive the. The person up who's on the pulp. You will drive them insane. You will stick up your hand and ask the question. And I will. I will slowly sink to the floor and wish that it would just swallow me up.

Lisa [00:15:25]:
But it wouldn't need to, right? Because in Jesus's house, Jesus don't judge.

Samantha [00:15:28]:
No, it's a safe spot.

Lisa [00:15:31]:
They say it's a safe place. Is it really? History shows up sometimes, but we're not going.

Samantha [00:15:36]:
History just has not pruned it to be always safe, always a safe place.

Lisa [00:15:41]:
I'm just saying Jesus is kind of like our casual, long lost friend, right? And maybe just need to, like, I don't know. Because what happens when you need. It's like jelly roll, right? I only talk to God when I need a favor. That's probably not the best time. Not the right time. Like, wouldn't it be better to be like, I only talk to God because he knows I need a favor? Right? He knows. He already knows I need a favor. So he's already expecting us.

Samantha [00:16:10]:
The fact that you even want to speak to him probably makes him happy. So I believe I've explained this to you when we had a weird conversation many, many years ago now, Lisa, that you were like, I don't know. I said, I think you. I think God's good with you just even thinking about him once in a while. I believe that's what I told you because you were.

Lisa [00:16:31]:
He's got big beautiful homes where he's just wanting people. He's inviting people in. He's asking, would you like a glass of wine and a. Cookies.

Samantha [00:16:37]:
Homes were not built by him. Those homes were built by those who.

Lisa [00:16:41]:
Love showing their love for him.

Samantha [00:16:43]:
Yes, and that's fine. I have.

Lisa [00:16:46]:
I have. We need a check in.

Samantha [00:16:48]:
No, I don't. Thank you. I've never found. I've never found.

Lisa [00:16:54]:
It's a pilgrimage. Once a year. No, this is what we do. We set all of our.

Samantha [00:16:58]:
What exactly? Where would that pilgrimage go, Lisa? Where are we going with that?

Lisa [00:17:02]:
To the church. We're going.

Samantha [00:17:03]:
Which church?

Lisa [00:17:05]:
Which one do you want to go to? I don't.

Samantha [00:17:06]:
I'm not. I'm not Catholic, so we're not going there.

Lisa [00:17:09]:
But is that where the. Is that where they serve the. The drink and the biscuit or the cracker and the cookie?

Samantha [00:17:14]:
It's the body. Body of Christ in the blood of Christ.

Lisa [00:17:18]:
Right? Okay, So I. Could. Could we, could. Could we, could we.

Samantha [00:17:23]:
No, I'm not going to. Nope.

Lisa [00:17:24]:
No, no, no. Can't, can't, can't. Okay.

Samantha [00:17:27]:
No.

Lisa [00:17:28]:
What about a non denominational one?

Samantha [00:17:30]:
I don't go to church.

Lisa [00:17:32]:
Singing. I don't go to church. That's our whole problem, right? Once a year.

Samantha [00:17:37]:
I have not ever stopped talking. I have never had a good relationship.

Lisa [00:17:44]:
You went a couple times on Christmas Eve with your family.

Samantha [00:17:48]:
Because my mother likes to go.

Lisa [00:17:49]:
Right. So now your best friend might like to church.

Samantha [00:17:52]:
I'm not going.

Lisa [00:17:53]:
She doesn't really like to church. She's just wondering if she needs to. If it's just in her best interest to be able to say, hey, remember that once a year when I went to the church, right? Hello. Are you just like Lisa?

Samantha [00:18:04]:
I need God in my corner. Check. Go check.

Lisa [00:18:07]:
I go to church once a year.

Samantha [00:18:08]:
Right?

Lisa [00:18:09]:
That's exactly. That's exactly it.

Samantha [00:18:11]:
Yo, God, I'm here again.

Lisa [00:18:14]:
Look who's back. Right? Guess who's back. Back again.

Samantha [00:18:19]:
No.

Lisa [00:18:19]:
And then who knows? What if God's actually like, oh, my God, it's her again. Nice. Maybe I become something he looks forward to.

Samantha [00:18:27]:
Oh, my God. Yes. Yes, Lisa, he will look forward to your visit once a year.

Lisa [00:18:33]:
He'll be like, hey, it's getting close to that time. How exciting. Lisa's stopping by.

Samantha [00:18:38]:
She's dragging Sam with her again.

Lisa [00:18:41]:
Sam with her. Right. Because that's what she does. Drag Sam into all the. When she gets curious.

Samantha [00:18:46]:
Oh, please don't.

Lisa [00:18:48]:
That's. You know what this whole episode is about? Curiosity. Hopefully not killing the cat.

Samantha [00:18:52]:
This is around and find out.

Lisa [00:18:55]:
Around and find out.

Samantha [00:18:56]:
Totally this episode.

Lisa [00:18:57]:
And then after church, then we go to the Hooters and eat some chicken wings. Hail to the Lord. That's what we do, right?

Samantha [00:19:07]:
No, because then, you know, and then we're at Hooters and we're. We're talking about God and we're spreading the word. Yes, that's exactly what we should be doing.

Lisa [00:19:14]:
We're spreading the word at the Hooters. All the people. So they just have a little bit of. Put a little love in your heart. Put a little God in your heart. Right? Oh, this is what I want to be able to say to somebody. I want to be able to say one day, you know what, Sally? A wise man once said and that me know who that wise man was. Hey, wouldn't that be cool?

Samantha [00:19:35]:
No.

Lisa [00:19:36]:
A wise man. Once I'm gonna just start saying it. Does that make me sound smart? Smell that A Wise man.

Samantha [00:19:41]:
No, it doesn't. It makes you sound like a lunatic.

Lisa [00:19:44]:
Does it make me sound like as though I'm at one with the Lord, even though I'm not? And it's kind of.

Samantha [00:19:48]:
No. Why. Why are you. Why. Why is. Men have. No. And then talk.

Samantha [00:19:56]:
Because you're an idiot. I can't with you because you've never gone to church a day in your life.

Lisa [00:20:03]:
I went, like, when I was a little girl, I went, no. Right. So now I'm saying I might be.

Samantha [00:20:10]:
You know what I. You know what I think is really funny is that I have a minor interest in religion. I am interested in the religion. I'm not necessarily wanting to practice anything.

Lisa [00:20:21]:
Right.

Samantha [00:20:21]:
And I find other religions very interesting.

Lisa [00:20:24]:
Yeah.

Samantha [00:20:24]:
I find you being curious about religion frightening. I. Frightened for people. I am frightened for the church that you potentially might be going to.

Lisa [00:20:34]:
Because you're going to be like, I.

Samantha [00:20:36]:
Have a few questions and you're gonna interrupt the sermon. You're gonna, like, keep everybody 20 to 25 minutes late.

Lisa [00:20:44]:
Totally.

Samantha [00:20:45]:
Because you have too many questions.

Lisa [00:20:47]:
I just need some clarification here. Right? Just some questions. Right? Yeah, yeah.

Samantha [00:20:55]:
Please don't wait.

Lisa [00:20:56]:
I'm gonna get back to you on this. I'm gonna. I'm gonna. This is what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna see what church we can go to.

Samantha [00:21:02]:
No.

Lisa [00:21:02]:
Maybe like an city church. That'd be kind of fun.

Samantha [00:21:05]:
No. Right.

Lisa [00:21:06]:
Probably just do some sing songs, sing alongs. No song.

Samantha [00:21:09]:
No. I do not need you to sing. I do not need you to do any of this.

Lisa [00:21:13]:
Right?

Samantha [00:21:14]:
No.

Lisa [00:21:14]:
Like, we're in the South Cloud.

Samantha [00:21:17]:
No, we don't have those kinds of churches here. We're not that exciting.

Lisa [00:21:20]:
I know, but let's. Let's change it up. No, let's bring back church.

Samantha [00:21:26]:
No.

Lisa [00:21:27]:
Let's make church fun again.

Samantha [00:21:29]:
People do go to church. Just because you don't doesn't mean it doesn't happen. You know, this is your problem, is that you think that if you've never done it, it's brand new.

Lisa [00:21:40]:
Brand new.

Samantha [00:21:40]:
You're going to bring it forth and share with the world. World already knows it's here, Lisa.

Lisa [00:21:45]:
I know, but think of how much fun church could be with me. Right?

Samantha [00:21:52]:
Don't even. Not even. Don't even.

Lisa [00:21:56]:
Oh. As the podcast becomes two hours tonight. So much to unpack.

Samantha [00:22:02]:
So much to unpack.

Lisa [00:22:05]:
All right, fine.

Samantha [00:22:06]:
You know, I had a very interesting conversation with my hairdresser, who is my sister in law.

Lisa [00:22:10]:
Okay.

Samantha [00:22:12]:
And she was talking about how she wished that Nyx underwear had underwear for bladder control.

Lisa [00:22:19]:
The Nyx people, always the next people. Hey.

Samantha [00:22:21]:
Because they do the period panties, right? And I'm like, yeah, why? Why hasn't anybody done a normal panty that doesn't look like a Depends undergarment?

Lisa [00:22:32]:
Because where does all your pee go?

Samantha [00:22:35]:
Where does all the blood go in your period? It goes into this little pad thing. Yeah, right.

Lisa [00:22:43]:
We're not sold on the period panty.

Samantha [00:22:47]:
I don't know. I've never had to use it because. Well, we're far from that now.

Lisa [00:22:50]:
We are past that. Like, this is the time of the podcast where we both stop and wipe our nose because it's cold. And we're drippy.

Samantha [00:22:59]:
And we're drippy. But I'm just. I'm just saying, I shake my head at the fact that nobody, even the next company, has not thought about a bladder control underwear and that it looks.

Lisa [00:23:10]:
Nice because it's not meant to look nice. There's a part of it that's meant to blame you. No, it's meant to because it's meant to be like, hey, old lady, you pee your pants. You can't. You can't make peeing your pants a good thing. No matter how old you are. When we're kids, it's a bad thing. When we're adults, still a bad thing.

Samantha [00:23:26]:
It's not a bad thing. You just don't have control over your bladder.

Lisa [00:23:30]:
Right. So still not a great thing.

Samantha [00:23:32]:
But why can't we find something in this day and age of all the innovations that we have? You could.

Lisa [00:23:37]:
They're called rubber panties. That's what they used to pull people in. Right.

Samantha [00:23:41]:
That's horrible.

Lisa [00:23:42]:
Totally.

Samantha [00:23:43]:
But you're so. You know, for someone who thinks that they're all that, you really have a backwards way of thinking when it comes to helping people out.

Lisa [00:23:51]:
Listen, I want to help people out. I. I sometimes struggle from a leaky bladder. I'm at that age. I'm just saying, they're not going to give us something that's acceptable. You know why? Because the minute they make it acceptable and they make it pretty and they make it comfortable, guess what? I'm never going to the bathroom again. I'm going to just pee. And you know it.

Lisa [00:24:11]:
That's why they're not doing it. Right. Because I'm never going to the bathroom again. I will just pee in my panties every day.

Samantha [00:24:23]:
That if they make it accessible and pretty and hopefully.

Lisa [00:24:28]:
And hopefully odor free.

Samantha [00:24:29]:
And hopefully odor free, that you will never pee in a toilet again.

Lisa [00:24:34]:
Are you gonna get up. When you're hibernating and you're all comfy and you're at the good part or you're in bed having a good sleep. Are you gonna. I'm not getting up. I'm gonna just pee. That's what you do with a catheter. You just pee and it feels really okay. That's what you're gonna do.

Lisa [00:24:52]:
That's why, Right? Oh my pretty. Guess what? Never peeing in. Never go to the toilet again.

Samantha [00:24:57]:
Oh my God.

Lisa [00:24:58]:
Once a day probably, right? You know it.

Samantha [00:25:03]:
So basically you're saying it's going to make you lazy.

Lisa [00:25:06]:
Er, right? It's the crutch. I do not need to have come into my life. I don't need an excuse to not have to get up. My, my best energy and probably when my heart races and beats the hardest is when I waited pee a little too long and I'm like, oh, gotta be, gotta be, gotta pee. That's probably when I get my most energy. Everything gets going so I can get to the bathroom and pee before I pee my pants. You take that or you take that away and I'm just gonna pee at my desk.

Samantha [00:25:40]:
It's. It's basically fight or flight. Is that what you're saying?

Lisa [00:25:44]:
Yes. No, it has to be okay, but.

Samantha [00:25:48]:
Oh my God.

Lisa [00:25:49]:
Okay, so we think that that's potential issue, right? What about this? You know how you buy your panties, right? And you go to the underwear, right? I don't know what type of underwear you wear. Vice versa. But you buy the like four pack of underwear, right? Four pack, six pack, whatever. Always comes with one white pair. There's always a white pair of underwear in this, right?

Samantha [00:26:14]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:26:15]:
Do you wear them? You wear the white ones?

Samantha [00:26:17]:
No.

Lisa [00:26:18]:
You never wear the white ones?

Samantha [00:26:20]:
No. I don't like white underwear.

Lisa [00:26:21]:
I've started wearing the white ones.

Samantha [00:26:24]:
Really?

Lisa [00:26:25]:
Yeah. You know why? Because to me, in my mind, they're like good girl panties. It's a reminder of how to wipe. And did you do it properly? Oh, did you do all the steps.

Samantha [00:26:41]:
So that you get. You don't get skid marks? Is that what you're saying?

Lisa [00:26:43]:
Skid marks. No dribbles, no pee dribbles. Right. White panties. Give you that.

Samantha [00:26:49]:
So you now in your 55th year, decided you needed to check yourself. Wear white underwear.

Lisa [00:26:57]:
Make sure my mama taught me right.

Samantha [00:26:59]:
Put it to the test so I'm not slipping.

Lisa [00:27:03]:
Just one day a week, right? Not every day. Just one day. I put the white ones on.

Samantha [00:27:06]:
Oh my God.

Lisa [00:27:08]:
Right, so I'm not Taking any shortcuts?

Samantha [00:27:11]:
Yes. Because why would you. You know, why would you ever take a shortcut? To wipe your butt.

Lisa [00:27:18]:
Right? I wouldn't. Not with that. Like, I would take a shortcut 99.9% of everything, but not with poop on my bass. No. Ever. Ever.

Samantha [00:27:28]:
This is why you wear white underwear.

Lisa [00:27:30]:
Why don't you try it? Try the white. Oh, you know what it is? You put the white panties on, and I swear to God, you walk a little taller. No, you shoulders are back. Yeah. You feel you. There's a different feeling in white panties. It's like. It's.

Lisa [00:27:43]:
It's. It totally. It's like when you wear a white blouse and you're like, nothing can touch this. I am so confident. I'm in my white blouse. I'm not gonna drop my roast beef sandwich on it. I'm not gonna drop my French fry with ketchup. Right.

Lisa [00:27:55]:
You feel you. You feel empowered. Same thing with the panties, only nobody sees it, but you feel. Yay. Good girl. You did it, right?

Samantha [00:28:08]:
That's a lot. That's. That's a lot riding on a white pair of underwear.

Lisa [00:28:13]:
A lot. Yeah, it's a lot. A lot.

Samantha [00:28:15]:
A lot of pressure for that.

Lisa [00:28:16]:
Right.

Samantha [00:28:17]:
You know?

Lisa [00:28:18]:
And here, you want panties. We just sit and pee in. We're in very different places right now.

Samantha [00:28:23]:
We are very different places.

Lisa [00:28:25]:
Totally different spots. I'm putting more pressure on me to not see or poop. And you are trying to alleviate that.

Samantha [00:28:35]:
Yes, I am. Apparently.

Lisa [00:28:37]:
It's weird where we're at.

Samantha [00:28:39]:
I'm totally okay with that.

Lisa [00:28:41]:
I don't know. I'm just feeling like everybody needs to do the white panty challenge.

Samantha [00:28:47]:
Yes. That's friends of the podcast. Let's do a white panty challenge.

Lisa [00:28:51]:
Y'all got them in your drawers. Pull them out. They're all still wound up tight.

Samantha [00:28:56]:
Oh, God. You know what I thought the other day? Are we boring?

Lisa [00:29:04]:
Why did you think this?

Samantha [00:29:05]:
I don't know. I was sitting there. Yes, you were there. And I was like, are we boring? And then I thought, have we settled? And I'm like, oh, my God, we might be boring.

Lisa [00:29:16]:
What? I know we're not boring.

Samantha [00:29:19]:
We might be.

Lisa [00:29:20]:
People are boring around us. Maybe the environment's boring. The atmosphere, the ambiance. Wasn't there ambiance? Are you talking about last Friday? Yeah, we were tired. We're retired, I think we were tired.

Samantha [00:29:33]:
We were tired.

Lisa [00:29:34]:
We were tired.

Samantha [00:29:35]:
We're always tired. That's the problem. That's why I think we're boring.

Lisa [00:29:38]:
I Don't think we're boring.

Samantha [00:29:39]:
I think we're always tired.

Lisa [00:29:41]:
Really? I think we're tired. Right. I think we're feeling our age lately.

Samantha [00:29:46]:
You know what? I think it's because winter came. So I'm going to blame it on the weather. Okay. The winter came so quickly.

Lisa [00:29:53]:
Right. That bitch came in so hard. Hey. She's like, guess what? You get no easing. We're not easing you into nothing.

Samantha [00:30:00]:
No. And it.

Lisa [00:30:01]:
Dear America that got jumped on. Dear parts of Ontario that got dumped on. Guess what? Your, your, your cousins in Saskatchewan got it first. Right? We took it first for you. Mother Nature came after us. So I don't know, are you thinking we need to be better?

Samantha [00:30:20]:
Maybe that's it. Are we boring or should we just be better?

Lisa [00:30:23]:
What are we going to be better? And what do I have to be better at?

Samantha [00:30:26]:
Like, I don't know, we just determined we're never going Taylor Swift.

Lisa [00:30:29]:
We can't already can't be Taylor Swift. So I can't be that good. Right. So what is it that I'm going to be better at?

Samantha [00:30:36]:
I don't know. Because there's them and then there's us and we're never going to be them.

Lisa [00:30:41]:
We're never going to be going to be us. We just have to be the best version. It's like if this was. If this is our ERAS tour, we're in the best version of US era.

Samantha [00:30:50]:
Oh my God. We're in our own ERAS tour.

Lisa [00:30:52]:
Our own ERAS tour. And it's just the best version of Lisa and Sam might not be what you expect to be the best. It's what we think is the best.

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

Lisa [00:31:01]:
Right. Sometimes I just can't deliver much more than what I feel I'm delivering on. And then I look at all the people like Taylor Swift who, who actually put that to shame.

Samantha [00:31:11]:
Yeah, she's. I mean, she basically puts us to shame because I mean, it's, it's how she's done it. Right?

Lisa [00:31:20]:
Sure.

Samantha [00:31:20]:
And that's who she is. And that's fine. And she did a three hour concert and never took a break.

Lisa [00:31:26]:
Right.

Samantha [00:31:27]:
I just kept going and going and going and I'm like, I would be dead.

Lisa [00:31:31]:
So did Bruce Springsteen. And he's an old man.

Samantha [00:31:34]:
And he's an old man.

Lisa [00:31:35]:
But we also are not even that.

Samantha [00:31:37]:
No, we're not even that. Oh my God. It's another them.

Lisa [00:31:41]:
We're another set of them that we are not. Right. Oh, just trying to read the stars and they're so far out of reach.

Samantha [00:31:49]:
So far out of reach. But I. I do feel like our. You know, we're just. I don't know. Should we settle for who we are?

Lisa [00:31:58]:
Well, we don't have much choice, right? We're in our senior years now.

Samantha [00:32:01]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:32:02]:
Right? And I actually. And I actually scoffed. I scoffed today when I read that Taylor Swift is going to take the next year off because she's exhausted from her tour. And I actually, in my mind, went, please. That's what I thought. Oh, please, girl, please.

Samantha [00:32:19]:
She's been touring for two years.

Lisa [00:32:21]:
Hi. In. In. In the lap of luxury. Right? She can wear white panties because somebody's probably wiping her ass. No. You don't know.

Samantha [00:32:32]:
Don't be rude.

Lisa [00:32:33]:
I get she's worked hard for all the great things. Hey, you know what? If I'm a bajillionaire, I might have an ass wiper too.

Samantha [00:32:39]:
Okay.

Lisa [00:32:40]:
It's kind of like.

Samantha [00:32:41]:
But even when she's off for a year, she's still making new music.

Lisa [00:32:45]:
And I know she's doing stuff, but she's just very productive. She is, right? And maybe that's why I scoffed too.

Samantha [00:32:52]:
Are you saying this about Adele? Adele's taking a year off. Taking a few years off.

Lisa [00:32:57]:
I feel Adele's different.

Samantha [00:32:58]:
And she just did a Vegas. A Vegas residency.

Lisa [00:33:01]:
She didn't just do it, she did.

Samantha [00:33:03]:
Well, she did it for two years.

Lisa [00:33:05]:
Yeah. And she's Adele. Hi, Adele. Adele can do whatever the hell Adele wants. Because with Adele comes all of Adele's attitude. Adele's like, I'm gonna take the next two years off. Deal with it. Okay.

Lisa [00:33:19]:
Right.

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

Lisa [00:33:21]:
Pull that off.

Samantha [00:33:22]:
Okay.

Lisa [00:33:23]:
Do you ever catch yourself saying the phrase, oh, and I say it like this? As much as I love my mother, Rest in peace. Ugh. I am my mother's daughter. When I refer to myself, I'm like, ugh, I'm my mother's daughter. When I think of my siblings and I'm like, oh, God, you are your mom. You're your mama's girl. And it's all positive. When I think of me, it's not positive.

Lisa [00:33:45]:
You ever do that?

Samantha [00:33:47]:
On occasion, I am like, oh, right. How you doing?

Lisa [00:33:52]:
We had lasagna the other night. I hate lasagna. Oh. And all I thought was, oh, I am my mother's daughter. I hate fat noodles. I remember my mom always saying, we never ate lasagna. Why can't we have lasagna? Because mom hates fat noodles. And I'm like, I hate fat noodles too.

Lisa [00:34:10]:
I don't want spaghetti. I Want agatini? Because it's a skinnier noodle. And then I'm like, oh, I'm my mother's daughter. Yeah.

Samantha [00:34:18]:
Because my sister and I do that to each other. And when my sister says something, I'm like, hi, Sheila. She's like, that's not funny. And I'm like, you're acting like mom right now.

Lisa [00:34:29]:
I know, right? And it is.

Samantha [00:34:31]:
And that's not a bad thing, because my mother is a lovely human being. She's my mother, and I love her. But there. She has certain traits.

Lisa [00:34:37]:
Right? And it is the role of the daughters. To make fun of those traits, I sent my kid's sister. So my mom passed away years ago. I said to my kid's sister, a meme. A thing on Instagram, and it showed. The. The gist of it was this woman saying, the mother I thought I would be. And then it showed Judge Judy, the mother I am.

Lisa [00:34:58]:
And Judge Judy was like, sit down, Shut up. Stop talking. And I messaged my kid sister, and I'm like, I never knew mom was so much like Judge Judy. My mom would have hated us saying that. My mom used to hate the fact that we would laugh at her expense. All you two do is make fun of me. Kind of. That's the job.

Samantha [00:35:16]:
That's the job.

Lisa [00:35:17]:
That's the role of your kids. Right. But she always hated. But then. Yeah, and then. Yet my sister does all her Christmas decorating, and I'm like, oh, you're just like Mom. You're. You are your mother's daughter.

Lisa [00:35:26]:
In a positive way.

Samantha [00:35:28]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:35:28]:
Right. But when she's mean and snarly, just like your mom.

Samantha [00:35:32]:
My sister can cook like my mom.

Lisa [00:35:34]:
Oh, see, there you go.

Samantha [00:35:35]:
And so can my brother, actually.

Lisa [00:35:37]:
Yeah. And what can you do like your mom?

Samantha [00:35:42]:
Well.

Lisa [00:35:46]:
There'S lots. There's lots. There's lots, right? There's lots. Samantha.

Samantha [00:35:51]:
My mother has a good heart, so I got that from her.

Lisa [00:35:53]:
Yes, you certainly did. And your mom's pretty funny, too.

Samantha [00:35:56]:
She is very funny, right?

Lisa [00:35:57]:
Your mom's quick. Dry. Yeah, she's dry, right?

Samantha [00:36:02]:
You know what? She's just like her. My mother is just like her mother. Grandma was a good one. She liked the. The backhanded compliment with the smack across the head.

Lisa [00:36:13]:
And sometimes my mother was just like her mother. And I wonder if when that ends, I'm hoping that.

Samantha [00:36:22]:
Right. Oh, God. I. You know what? I made. Oh, I. I really made fun of my poor nephew, and he didn't think it was funny the second time around. And I'm like, okay. Note to self.

Samantha [00:36:36]:
The joke was only funny the first time.

Lisa [00:36:37]:
Only the first time. He does not want the replay.

Samantha [00:36:40]:
He didn't like the replay. And I'm like, replay. Are you. Should you be in this. In this family? Because you need to take.

Lisa [00:36:48]:
If you can't take some good old bullying, I don't know what. What stock you come from. There. Kidding.

Samantha [00:36:53]:
I wasn't bullying him. I was just making fun of the fact that he's po.

Lisa [00:36:57]:
You're just pointing out his flaws with love.

Samantha [00:37:06]:
Yeah. And then I gave him a job, so.

Lisa [00:37:09]:
Okay. I don't know if you've been watching the news, listening to the news. All the rage is walking pneumonia.

Samantha [00:37:16]:
Oh, dear.

Lisa [00:37:17]:
Apparently, it's all over the place. Walking pneumonia. Walking pneumonia. Walking pneumonia. I don't know what the hell it is, but I do know. Do you know what it is?

Samantha [00:37:25]:
I don't think it's good.

Lisa [00:37:27]:
It's good. But what I do know is that pneumonia is a hell of a tough word to spell. I was thinking about that the other day, and I was like, everybody talking about walking pneumonia, and I'm like, how do you spell it? Pneumonia.

Samantha [00:37:40]:
Pneumonia.

Lisa [00:37:41]:
Yeah, Right? And then it got me thinking about silent letters, and then I got mad, instantly mad when I started thinking about silent letters. Why do we need them?

Samantha [00:37:50]:
Yes, why? Why?

Lisa [00:37:52]:
Who decided that this was a smart thing to do?

Samantha [00:37:55]:
Nobody.

Lisa [00:37:56]:
Who invented the silent letters? Like, hey, podcast, which one of you guys knows that answer? Who invented the silent letters? Right?

Samantha [00:38:04]:
Who decided to spell pneumonia the way it's spelled?

Lisa [00:38:07]:
Right? Who decided that Jeff with a J and Jeff G, E, O, F, F were the same thing? Jeff and Goff.

Samantha [00:38:16]:
Right?

Lisa [00:38:17]:
But we're going to call it Jeff.

Samantha [00:38:18]:
Why are we calling it Jeff and.

Lisa [00:38:21]:
Jeff when it's Jeff and golf, Right? Why did we need a there, there, and there?

Samantha [00:38:27]:
Are there, there, and there?

Lisa [00:38:29]:
How do you teach that to people?

Samantha [00:38:30]:
A, Your. Your like.

Lisa [00:38:34]:
Like. Like, it just perpetuates that already exists in life.

Samantha [00:38:40]:
Can you imagine being somebody who has to learn English? The English language is a second language, and we have words that have silent letters, right?

Lisa [00:38:48]:
Like when you spell Lee Le. I had a friend. L, E, I, G, H. Why? Why G, H? What? That's. That's. That's not. Lee is L, E, E, Lee, right?

Samantha [00:39:02]:
I don't know.

Lisa [00:39:03]:
And why does, like, Sarah need the H? No offense, Sarah, if you're listening, Sarah there, right? Why is that? Yeah, why is that? Right?

Samantha [00:39:17]:
I don't know. Oh, my God. The things that go through your head. You're so weird, right?

Lisa [00:39:22]:
And Then how do you teach this? Like, like we barely get it. I literally, if I have to spell pneumonia, I'm thinking pneumonia, right? Pneumonia, Right, and imagine, imagine. Okay, so spell pneumonia. No, not like that. No, not like that. Okay. N. No, not an N.

Lisa [00:39:41]:
No. Okay. Starts N. Yeah, but not an N. And then the fact that letters can all have different sounds, right? Like, like an A. Oh, but it could be an A or it could be an ah. Cat. Or Kate.

Lisa [00:39:56]:
Right? Like, hi. Like, we literally, like, I don't know. Is Shakespeare to blame for this? He seems to be always associated with the English language.

Samantha [00:40:07]:
It might be the Greeks, right?

Lisa [00:40:09]:
Maybe the Greeks. Okay, well, hi. How about the Canadians just do their own Canadian language? We.

Samantha [00:40:14]:
We do about.

Lisa [00:40:16]:
About an A, right? I don't know. I just think it's weird.

Samantha [00:40:20]:
I think that's. I think that's good. And of course, you know, you being.

Lisa [00:40:24]:
You comes to mind every now and then. Just something just kind of strikes me.

Samantha [00:40:28]:
Odd and I'm like, hey, questions with Lisa.

Lisa [00:40:31]:
Questions with Lisa, right? Lisa's question corner. Andrea. Okay. But you know, my, my boss, boss, she's still. She's a die hard. Hey, she's still hanging on to wordle. I'm. I'm.

Lisa [00:40:40]:
I'm wordle every now and then.

Samantha [00:40:42]:
If.

Lisa [00:40:43]:
Are you wordling?

Samantha [00:40:44]:
No, not very often.

Lisa [00:40:45]:
Right. Like, so sometimes I'm like a fair weather word alert, right? So sometimes I wordle, sometimes I don't. She's still wordling and she brought up a really good point. She said the other day, that should wordle make you feel dumb. Number one, you can't guess the word. And then when you don't get the word, you Google it and you don't even know the word. Now you're extra dumb.

Samantha [00:41:08]:
No, you're extra dumb.

Lisa [00:41:10]:
Is that the role of wordle in our life? I thought it was supposed to be something positive.

Samantha [00:41:16]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:41:17]:
Right?

Samantha [00:41:18]:
Yeah. I don't need to feel dumb. That's not helpful. That's not.

Lisa [00:41:23]:
That's not. I don't need to start my day off if I'm whirling in the day. I don't need to start my morning off feeling stupid. I had to Google some point during the day.

Samantha [00:41:32]:
I was. I was watching a presenter and I had to Google one of the words he had on the screen. I am like, I've never heard of that before, right? I'm like, I've not stupid. I have read things and I've been to university.

Lisa [00:41:49]:
Right? Like, like, we come. We got the certificates.

Samantha [00:41:54]:
We come with Intelligence or we're not stupid people. Oh, my God. And I'm like. And then it just made me mad because I'm like, are you just using this word to sound smart?

Lisa [00:42:06]:
Yeah.

Samantha [00:42:07]:
And. And make yourself look important because is this the proper use of this word? You know, and then I questioned everything around it.

Lisa [00:42:15]:
Exactly. And you know, and then it just puts what I heard briefly into today into context. Oxford. I guess that's the dictionary people.

Samantha [00:42:23]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:42:24]:
They've named the word of the year for 2024, and it's brain rot.

Samantha [00:42:31]:
And I'm worried about a word that I didn't recognize.

Lisa [00:42:34]:
Right. Because guess what? You got brain rot.

Samantha [00:42:37]:
I have brain rot.

Lisa [00:42:38]:
Right. We got brain rot. And I'm assuming without knowing anything about the only. Just. And. And. And that might not even be the word. I thought that was the word.

Lisa [00:42:45]:
But it might not even be the word. I know that. What I know is that Oxford picked a word. There's a word for the year. I feel it's brain rot. But it might not be. Don't quote me on that. Right.

Lisa [00:42:56]:
Again, I didn't fact check it. But. But it kind of sums things up. Right. Because everybody says you're on your socials too much and then you're getting dumb.

Samantha [00:43:04]:
It's brain rot.

Lisa [00:43:05]:
But are we getting dumb?

Samantha [00:43:07]:
Yeah, we could be. And that's maybe why we find Wordle taxing and why we come across words we don't know because we're not actually reading anything of substance.

Lisa [00:43:16]:
Right, Right.

Samantha [00:43:17]:
Excellent. Now I feel stupid again.

Lisa [00:43:19]:
There you go, back to being stupid and not being. And. And that's why we're not Taylor Swift. So you know what? There is a million reasons why we're not Taylor Swift. Actually. It's, it's, it, it's. It goes deeper than our parents.

Samantha [00:43:33]:
Oh, for sure.

Lisa [00:43:34]:
Right. We also have to take some of this.

Samantha [00:43:36]:
Really, that I think that's great. We should take. We should be accountable for it.

Lisa [00:43:40]:
We own a piece of the piece. Yeah.

Samantha [00:43:42]:
There's a reason why we're us.

Lisa [00:43:44]:
There's a reason why we're us, Samantha, and not them and not. And not them. Right, right. Totally.

Samantha [00:43:50]:
Oh, thank you, Wordle, for making me feel like I need to go back to school.

Lisa [00:43:55]:
Yeah. Like a piece of crap. Thanks, Wordle. Was that your intention? Make people feel stupid and lousy? Because guess what? You did it.

Samantha [00:44:02]:
Well, it's not good if your boss. Boss thinks that things are smart.

Lisa [00:44:05]:
Right. Because she's a boss boss. Right. She's like, boss, boss. She knows.

Samantha [00:44:14]:
Yeah, she does. But we have other things to worry about.

Lisa [00:44:18]:
What are we worrying about?

Samantha [00:44:19]:
People are starting to take business deals or meetings in a sauna. I'm like, huh? What? No.

Lisa [00:44:30]:
I can think of so many things I'd rather do or be in than a sauna.

Samantha [00:44:36]:
I'm like, and all I thought was picture me or Lisa in our bathing suits trying to get a business deal right there.

Lisa [00:44:44]:
We've already lost the deal because we're in our bathing suits. Right? And, and, and, and because we're in a sauna. I can't even have my tank top on over my baby.

Samantha [00:44:53]:
No. And my glasses are fogging up, my contacts are sticking to my eyeballs.

Lisa [00:44:58]:
Your hair is flat.

Samantha [00:45:00]:
And my makeup is running off my face.

Lisa [00:45:02]:
Not.

Samantha [00:45:02]:
It is no longer. We are no longer representing.

Lisa [00:45:05]:
It is not a good look. Right? I'm.

Samantha [00:45:09]:
I'm like getting hot. Because I mean, no offense, but unless you're super cold, asana is not really where a middle aged woman wants to be.

Lisa [00:45:16]:
I don't know if anybody should ever be in a sauna. Like, what's the point of a sauna? Oh, I want to sweat.

Samantha [00:45:20]:
Okay, well, I sweat nightly. I don't needed to go to something like.

Lisa [00:45:27]:
Right. I sometimes feel like I live in a sauna. I don't need to do business in my sauna.

Samantha [00:45:34]:
And no offense, like, depending on who you're doing the business deal with, do you want to see the per. That person in their swim trucks?

Lisa [00:45:43]:
Picture a man and he's in his little tight. He's his little Speedos. He's like naked and he's got his big, hairy, gross, sweaty chest. Oh, what's worse? Sweaty bathing suit clad woman or sweaty bathing suit clad man? There's the question for your friends in the podcast. What's worse?

Samantha [00:46:01]:
I don't know.

Lisa [00:46:02]:
I'm gonna say, like, I know me in a bathing suit is like not my. I don't even know if there is a good look. Actually.

Samantha [00:46:10]:
It's not my go to. It's not my go to.

Lisa [00:46:12]:
Like, I'm not parading myself around in it, right? I'm at the lake by myself with my couple friends that, that also are in their bathing suits. Right?

Samantha [00:46:21]:
Oh my God. Like, let's please know.

Lisa [00:46:23]:
Please, please no. Please, like, please no. And then you're all sweaty and then you gotta have a sweaty handshake. I don't wanna touch people. I don't wanna touch people. You know what I'm shaking my head at, Samantha?

Samantha [00:46:35]:
What?

Lisa [00:46:35]:
Shaking my head at gingerbread houses.

Samantha [00:46:39]:
Why?

Lisa [00:46:39]:
Because you can't even Eat them. What's the point of a gingerbread house?

Samantha [00:46:45]:
Typically, no.

Lisa [00:46:47]:
It's a lot of work, right. For, like, no reward. What's the reward for a gingerbread house?

Samantha [00:46:52]:
I think you can eat it if it's relatively quickly after you've made it.

Lisa [00:46:56]:
Really. I think everybody's touched it. You've touched all parts of it to.

Samantha [00:47:00]:
Glue it together, and, well, it's just icing and.

Lisa [00:47:03]:
Ew.

Samantha [00:47:03]:
Gingerbread things. But no, typically they're quite hard. And they'll break your teeth.

Lisa [00:47:08]:
They'll break your teeth, right? And I get, like, they look nice, but I don't know. We can't do something out of a box with that to make it look the same. Like, I'm sure we can't. After all these, all the things we can do, we can't duplicate that in a lighter version that doesn't want to make somebody eat it when you can't.

Samantha [00:47:27]:
Like, are you trying to make the gingerbread tradition go away?

Lisa [00:47:30]:
No, I love gingerbread. You don't like it? I love gingerbread, but I don't love gingerbread houses. I don't love a gingerbread cookie, actually. I don't know if I love gingerbread. I love gingersnap.

Samantha [00:47:43]:
That's different.

Lisa [00:47:44]:
Is that different?

Samantha [00:47:45]:
That's different.

Lisa [00:47:46]:
What is that? Is that molasses?

Samantha [00:47:48]:
It's a molasses cookie.

Lisa [00:47:49]:
I love that. Right? I love that.

Samantha [00:47:51]:
Guess what's. Guess what's coming in your little, Little treat bag. This?

Lisa [00:47:55]:
Nice, right? Nice. I'm looking forward to that. And that should be coming anytime.

Samantha [00:48:02]:
No?

Lisa [00:48:04]:
Maybe we can encourage earlier baking so your mom's not so stressed out getting.

Samantha [00:48:09]:
Close to you need to be quiet. She doesn't like to be pressured either, you dingbat.

Lisa [00:48:14]:
I know that. Right? I know that.

Samantha [00:48:16]:
Okay.

Lisa [00:48:16]:
Right.

Samantha [00:48:17]:
But you know she's going to make my famous sugar cookies, right? Like, she's going to. She's gonna sugar cookie me up. And by the way, they are the most researched Christmas cookie in December.

Lisa [00:48:27]:
That makes no sense. Right, because out of all the people in my whole world and my whole life that I've ever met, you're the only one who likes a sugar cookie.

Samantha [00:48:35]:
Nope, I'm not the only one.

Lisa [00:48:38]:
Anybody in your family is excluded.

Samantha [00:48:40]:
No, because Nolan loves them, too.

Lisa [00:48:42]:
He's in your family. He's your nephew. Right, but it makes no sense. What people should be searching for, Sheila, is chocolate. Haystack. SL Macaroons.

Samantha [00:48:52]:
Oh, well, then you'll be happy to know that she is making macaroons this year.

Lisa [00:48:57]:
She's bringing Them back.

Samantha [00:48:58]:
She's bringing them back.

Lisa [00:48:59]:
Bringing them.

Samantha [00:48:59]:
We're bringing them.

Lisa [00:49:00]:
We're bringing it back.

Samantha [00:49:01]:
Back. It's a limited edition chocolate macaroon.

Lisa [00:49:05]:
Nice. That makes this girl happy.

Samantha [00:49:08]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:49:09]:
So my mom used to always make those. Right? And she was quite the baker. But sometimes, you know how they can also go very, very wrong? Quickly.

Samantha [00:49:17]:
Yes. Because if you don't stir them quickly.

Lisa [00:49:21]:
Enough, the right temperature and the altitude.

Samantha [00:49:24]:
And the elevation, and it's the right amount of cocoa.

Lisa [00:49:27]:
Gotta be shiny and not dull. I watched my mom sometimes. Oh, my God. You would have thought, like, she had burnt down the kitchen. Right? Oh, and these aren't gonna work. Like, I can see your mom doing the same thing. I can see our moms, if it's not perfect, having the exact same type of reaction. Right?

Samantha [00:49:42]:
Yes. Yeah.

Lisa [00:49:43]:
Right. Like, my mom used to do so much Christmas baking, and it was always good. Right? But those haystacks, sometimes they'd give her a bit of a run. But I'm. I'm thankful.

Samantha [00:49:54]:
I'm thankful you're getting so much this year. You should. You're gonna owe Mom a big present.

Lisa [00:50:00]:
Well, I always get your mom a little something, so I'll. I know, Auntie.

Samantha [00:50:03]:
Yeah, you need to.

Lisa [00:50:04]:
Okay. Maybe I'll do.

Samantha [00:50:05]:
You're getting so much this year that I feel like she. You don't deserve it.

Lisa [00:50:11]:
That I don't deserve it.

Samantha [00:50:12]:
You might need to be nicer to me for the next three weeks.

Lisa [00:50:15]:
You're not doing the baking, are you? Because I feel I'm always nice to your mom. You. That's different.

Samantha [00:50:21]:
But who delivers it?

Lisa [00:50:23]:
I probably could manage to go get them. I know where your mom lives. Right. It's just nice doing a nice thing for your mother, actually.

Samantha [00:50:32]:
Yeah, actually.

Lisa [00:50:33]:
And if the truth be known, usually your mom drops it off at my work.

Samantha [00:50:36]:
Oh, she does, too, actually.

Lisa [00:50:38]:
I don't have to be nice to you at all.

Samantha [00:50:39]:
No, you don't.

Lisa [00:50:40]:
Oh, right. Yay. That's a win for me.

Samantha [00:50:43]:
You will. Oh, it. You know, and I had to have a talk. I had to have a talk with my mom. I said, mom, I. We. Everybody loves. Loves everything they make.

Samantha [00:50:52]:
You make good cookies. You make all the things she's like, because, what do you want? And I said, I don't need a lot.

Lisa [00:50:57]:
Right.

Samantha [00:50:58]:
I like sugar cookies. I like your molasses cookies. You know, I could. I could do with the jam. Jam. That kind of thing. But she wants to make her chocolate. Her chocolate macaroons.

Samantha [00:51:11]:
And she's gonna do an oatmeal raisin cookie for dad.

Lisa [00:51:15]:
I'll pass on that one.

Samantha [00:51:17]:
Yeah, but she just, you know, like, I just told her, I said, you.

Lisa [00:51:19]:
Need to, like, let her do what she wants. It's like when I make my. My Christmas treat for everybody, right? Like, don't tell me to portion control it. I'm. It's coming from my heart, Samantha.

Samantha [00:51:32]:
It's chalk. It is chocolate with chips.

Lisa [00:51:35]:
It's chocolate and chips, right?

Samantha [00:51:38]:
You smash the chocolate chip bag, you melt some chocolate, you throw it in, mix it around, and put it in a little cup.

Lisa [00:51:46]:
Goes in a little cup, right?

Samantha [00:51:48]:
That's not rocket science.

Lisa [00:51:49]:
It comes from my heart.

Samantha [00:51:50]:
It does not come from your.

Lisa [00:51:52]:
Comes from my heart. Homemade.

Samantha [00:51:54]:
It's like the meatballs.

Lisa [00:51:56]:
No. Well, yes, the meatballs come from my heart. Spirit. Listen, okay, enough about that, right? Enough about you picking apart my cooking. Okay?

Samantha [00:52:05]:
I'm just saying we're. I. I feel like we're. This. The time of year for cookies is now.

Lisa [00:52:11]:
Yeah, totally. Right? So let's get them going. Let's get those cookies going. Let's go. Remember last year? So we've started. We did our decorating, right? I saw you put your tree up. Remember last year when we moved to our new place and we threw away Christmas?

Samantha [00:52:24]:
Yeah. I'm not sure why you did that.

Lisa [00:52:26]:
Throw away our memories. Remember my whole thing because I didn't want to have to unpack it because we were moving. I'm like, it. We'll make new memories. Well, we didn't. We didn't make new memories, actually.

Samantha [00:52:39]:
Dummy.

Lisa [00:52:40]:
And now we're short on memories.

Samantha [00:52:43]:
Of course you, Walker, we have a.

Lisa [00:52:44]:
Very sparse holiday home.

Samantha [00:52:47]:
You need to go get more.

Lisa [00:52:49]:
I know, but then I get cheap. And I'm like, oh, that's why I said it. Because I didn't want to spend the money.

Samantha [00:52:54]:
Go to the Dollar Store.

Lisa [00:52:56]:
I know, but then, you know, everybody knows it's Dollar Store goodies. And then, not that anybody's coming over.

Samantha [00:53:01]:
But make Dollar Store memories.

Lisa [00:53:03]:
Make Dollar Store memories, man. My memories are worth more than Dollar Store.

Samantha [00:53:09]:
Well, you know what? I knew it was a bad idea for you to throw away your Christmas stuff last year, but you were like. You were having none of that.

Lisa [00:53:15]:
I was having none of it. I'm like, fucking. Well, I totally was. Fuck it. We'll make new memories.

Samantha [00:53:21]:
You were like, toss, toss, toss, toss. Not that you guys had a ton of stuff anyways. No.

Lisa [00:53:26]:
Right? So when the Gibson's downsize, it really means we have nothing left, right? We went from one big tub of Christmas stuff to the same tub with four things in it. Oh, my God. We don't have much. We're pretty sparse. But fake cat Maggie, she got her hat on.

Samantha [00:53:45]:
Oh, can you just get some Christmas in your heart?

Lisa [00:53:48]:
I have lots of Christmas in my heart.

Samantha [00:53:50]:
Oh, that's right.

Lisa [00:53:52]:
Right. Lots of Christmas.

Samantha [00:53:54]:
When you smile, sunshine comes out your heart.

Lisa [00:53:57]:
Right. It radiates and happiness flows over the top.

Samantha [00:54:04]:
Yeah, but, like, is there, like. You didn't throw anything away from your mom, did you?

Lisa [00:54:09]:
No, but my mom didn't really keep. Right. So she didn't have stuff really, either.

Samantha [00:54:14]:
So basically, you. You, like, I got trained to throw away your Christmas stuff.

Lisa [00:54:19]:
Right. We just buy new stuff. Right. But I still got some stuff, but it's just like, whatever. I'm kind of over it now. As I was unpacking and thinking, oh, look, we're gonna decorate. I'm like, and we're done.

Samantha [00:54:34]:
My mom. I went to my mom's house on Sunday, and her tree is full of all the ornaments from all the years that we've ever had trees and all that kind of stuff.

Lisa [00:54:46]:
We. I had that mom until we moved into their dream home. And then it became the fancy Christmas tree mom. Right. She was very. Always very particular. That's why I hate decorating a tree. Right.

Lisa [00:54:57]:
Because even when we were kids, my mom was so particular with her vision because she was very visual.

Samantha [00:55:01]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:55:02]:
Look a certain way. And all I remember maybe, like, as a kid was, oh, yeah, for sure. Take some tinsel. Oh, maybe not there. No. Oh, that's a little too much tinsel. Maybe I'll just move it over here. And I'm like this.

Lisa [00:55:14]:
I hate decorating trees. Hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it.

Samantha [00:55:20]:
No, we didn't have to. We didn't. Never had to. We never had to endure that.

Lisa [00:55:24]:
Always looked beautiful. Which is fine. Right. I just learned. Right. It's just not my cup of tea. Whatever I like. I would rather just sit on the couch and watch you do the work.

Samantha [00:55:32]:
Yeah. My. I remember one year in one of the houses we lived in, mom had. I don't know if I think it might have been Mom. She wrapped garland around everything. Anything that garland wrapped around it trendy was garland up. And I'm like, holy.

Lisa [00:55:51]:
Garland is totally what represents Christmas through the years. Right.

Samantha [00:55:54]:
It's 1980s.

Lisa [00:55:56]:
Right. And was it. Was it still, like, sparkly garland or had it and then remember. And then it became like, I look like I belong on it. I look like I am a tree garden. I'm from the Forest garland.

Samantha [00:56:06]:
No, no, it was the. The faux colored green gold and the.

Lisa [00:56:10]:
Green and the red.

Samantha [00:56:12]:
Nice stuff you put on your tree.

Lisa [00:56:15]:
Right? That was. And then the big loop de loop.

Samantha [00:56:17]:
Yeah, yeah. Oh, my God. And then. And then the things hanging from the ceiling.

Lisa [00:56:23]:
Right.

Samantha [00:56:24]:
Was delight.

Lisa [00:56:25]:
Just didn't. People will never understand because all homes now are meant to look beautiful because it's beautiful decorations. That's not how it was in the 70s and the 80s. They were meant to look horrible.

Samantha [00:56:37]:
You know what? But it was goddamn festive, man.

Lisa [00:56:40]:
Totally festive.

Samantha [00:56:41]:
Awesome festive. And it maybe, maybe now if you look at pictures, it was tacky. But we had fun. But.

Lisa [00:56:49]:
Oh, well, whatever. Right?

Samantha [00:56:51]:
It was fun.

Lisa [00:56:52]:
Totally. Yeah. There was like the good time. Like when you look back to like our growing up times. Right. It's just different. Right?

Samantha [00:57:00]:
It totally.

Lisa [00:57:01]:
You just. You can't compare. You can't compare. That's why everybody still loves those generations. Right? Okay. Have you been. You've been on the Tick Tock lately and the, the Instagram.

Samantha [00:57:11]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:57:11]:
Lisa, have you seen the real. About the. The dog? Sometimes it's a cat, sometimes it's a dog. And it's for two cat families or two dog families. Have you ever seen that one? And oh my God. Friends of the podcast. And this brings my heart joy. It's.

Lisa [00:57:26]:
This one is Handsome Dogs. And he's a handsome looking dog that they show, right? And he says, my name is Maxim Maximus Decimus Meridius. And then they switch to a messed up version of that same type of dog. And the dog says, my name is Jeff. And it like, is like the funniest thing. I keep sending it to my kid's sister saying it never gets old. Now she's not replying back and I'm thinking she might be thinking it's getting old.

Samantha [00:57:51]:
It's getting old.

Lisa [00:57:52]:
Not getting old. It. Oh, it makes me laugh. And I think, you know what, Samantha? We're Jeff.

Samantha [00:57:56]:
No, we're not Jeff.

Lisa [00:57:57]:
I think I feel we're Jeff.

Samantha [00:57:59]:
No, speak for yourself.

Lisa [00:58:00]:
Taylor Swift is Maximus Decimus Meridius and we're Jeff. That's what I see. That's what I see. Right.

Samantha [00:58:11]:
Well, when you put it like that.

Lisa [00:58:13]:
Then yes, we might be Jeff. I know you're Jeff. When.

Samantha [00:58:19]:
Awesome. You know, I. I started feeling better. I started feeling good about myself before we started this podcast.

Lisa [00:58:25]:
Sorry.

Samantha [00:58:25]:
And now I'm starting to feel like I suck.

Lisa [00:58:28]:
I just brought you right back down.

Samantha [00:58:30]:
Hey, yeah, thanks, Lisa.

Lisa [00:58:31]:
Hammered you back down. Sorry. It's an uplifting show, right?

Samantha [00:58:36]:
Who Are you. I'm Jeff.

Lisa [00:58:38]:
I'm Jeff. They gotta say I'm Jeff sometimes. He's got one eye and half an eye and a tooth.

Samantha [00:58:44]:
Funny.

Lisa [00:58:44]:
And he's lying on his back. He's just. He's just the opposite of that beautiful, beautiful, handsome pet. He's the opposite. And he lives in that house, too.

Samantha [00:58:57]:
Oh, my God. Okay.

Lisa [00:58:59]:
The little things.

Samantha [00:59:00]:
Okay. But speaking of God.

Lisa [00:59:02]:
Back to God.

Samantha [00:59:04]:
Back to God. Haley, thank you so much for explaining.

Lisa [00:59:11]:
She pulled through for us.

Samantha [00:59:13]:
That God's mom? We're not sure.

Lisa [00:59:19]:
And that's. On last week's episode. We were talking about, who's God's mom?

Samantha [00:59:23]:
Who's God's mom? And she wasn't sure either, because. And she's like. And I'm not really this person. It's like. And neither are we. But thank you for jumping into the conversation. We appreciated it. And it really kind of didn't really answer the question because she was like, well, from this perspective, God did have a mom.

Samantha [00:59:44]:
If you think of it this way, God was just the universe. Okay, well, that's exciting, right?

Lisa [00:59:51]:
I don't love that one so much. I don't know what one.

Samantha [00:59:53]:
And then she was like. And from. From. For something else to think about. Is the world round or flat? Okay, we're not going there.

Lisa [01:00:01]:
We're there. Not this week. I can't go there. I've just had to break the news to Sam that we're not Taylor Swift. Right. I can't go there. Right.

Samantha [01:00:09]:
Well, I believe the world is round, so we'll just go with that.

Lisa [01:00:13]:
Unless you're on it and you just are walking straight.

Samantha [01:00:15]:
Stop it.

Lisa [01:00:16]:
And it's really quite flat. That's all I'm gonna say right now. I'm Jeff.

Samantha [01:00:22]:
Yeah, let's stick with that, shall we?

Lisa [01:00:24]:
Right, do we continue to be divided on eggnog versus hot chocolate?

Samantha [01:00:30]:
As always, yes. Because I love eggnog and you do not.

Lisa [01:00:33]:
It. Yeah. You know why I hate it? Because I was lied to as a child about eggnog. I was told year after year after year that eggnog tasted just like a vanilla shake. And. No, it doesn't. No, it doesn't taste just like a vanilla shake, Mom. It does not.

Lisa [01:00:50]:
Right. You.

Samantha [01:00:54]:
You know, I'm. Again, I always wonder how you got to be the age that you are.

Lisa [01:01:00]:
I know, right? Me. I wonder, too.

Samantha [01:01:03]:
And I have a feeling that as a child, you didn't ask a lot of questions and you just believed everything that you were told.

Lisa [01:01:10]:
Believed.

Samantha [01:01:10]:
And it was only as an Adult. When you got out in the world, that. That's when you started being curious. Lisa.

Lisa [01:01:15]:
I was probably 25, had a. Had a. I'll have an eggnog. Hey, this doesn't taste like vanilla shake. And then I started questioning things.

Samantha [01:01:24]:
And then you start to question things. Right?

Lisa [01:01:26]:
That's how that goes.

Samantha [01:01:28]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [01:01:29]:
I've never. And I don't want boo. And you know me, I. I don't want booze in my. I don't want booze in a milk product. I think it's really curdly and horrible.

Samantha [01:01:38]:
No, but you'll have booze in a hot chocolate.

Lisa [01:01:41]:
Different, different, different. There's no rules. Why? It just is different. It just is, right? It's just different, right? And who knows? Maybe at the age of 55, if I had booze in an eggnog, I'd like to think I'd give it a try. Only because there's booze in it.

Samantha [01:01:57]:
Probably right.

Lisa [01:01:58]:
You know, but hard to say.

Samantha [01:02:01]:
Only probably.

Lisa [01:02:02]:
Hard to say.

Samantha [01:02:04]:
However, I have fantastic news.

Lisa [01:02:07]:
Let's hear.

Samantha [01:02:07]:
We have. We have gotten another voicemail every week.

Lisa [01:02:11]:
Voicemails. Voicemail.

Samantha [01:02:14]:
And it's from Nancy M. I used.

Lisa [01:02:17]:
To work with Nancy.

Samantha [01:02:18]:
Yes, you did. And she had a. She questioned Lisa's bread squeezing, and she was wondering why Lisa squeezes it and then doesn't buy it. So let's listen to Nancy. Hi, Lisa, it's Nancy calling, who used to work with you at the hbc. I'm just a few minutes into your podcast, and I find it very interesting that you have an issue with the oranges. When you like to squeeze the bread, do you buy all the loaves of briz that you squeeze? Lisa, what do you have to say for yourself?

Lisa [01:02:52]:
I got nothing. Nancy. Nancy, come on. You're like my cousin, right? You're supposed to take my side on these things. She's supposed to be.

Samantha [01:03:02]:
Think.

Lisa [01:03:02]:
Bread is totally different. It's totally different. I'm not going into the middle of the loaf to take a couple pieces and swap them out. Totally different, right? You're just squeezing. Squeezing bread. It's. It's. It's.

Lisa [01:03:13]:
It's a must. So I know how fresh. I'm buying something totally different. I have no answer for her. I was speechless when. When I heard it, I'm like, she might have got me.

Samantha [01:03:25]:
I was just excited. Someone left us another voicemail, right?

Lisa [01:03:28]:
And I was like, busted. Busted. Leave it to Nancy. Yeah, that's awesome. Thanks.

Samantha [01:03:34]:

Samantha, Lisa, the moment the season has been waiting for. Friends of the podcast. This week, it's week 14 in fantasy football. Let's recap, right? Last week, I lost.

Samantha [01:05:01]:
I lost.

Lisa [01:05:02]:
Both your girls lost. That's okay. This week, it's Team Gibson against Team Fake Fan.

Samantha [01:05:11]:
Yeah.

Lisa [01:05:12]:
And as it sits right now, Team Gibson appears to be favored.

Samantha [01:05:17]:
Of course you are. You have the better team.

Lisa [01:05:21]:
But this is what we've been building towards.

Samantha [01:05:23]:
But just so you know, if I. If I lose, I will have the potential to get eliminated.

Lisa [01:05:29]:
Well, I. I don't have that type of control. I don't have that type of control. Just means you didn't execute your plan properly.

Samantha [01:05:36]:
Oh, shut up.

Lisa [01:05:37]:
Right. And then. And then, of course, we'll have a debrief at the end of the season, right? That type of thing. But you know what? So. So that's what's going down on fantasy football, right? So. So I think when I think over the weekend we should, like, give updates.

Samantha [01:05:50]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [01:05:51]:
People know. Maybe it's another poll, right? Who are you cheering for? Team Gibson. Team Fake Fan.

Samantha [01:05:55]:
Team Fake Fan. All.

Lisa [01:05:57]:
That's fine. I don't need the cheering. I'm okay.

Samantha [01:05:59]:
You know what's really funny, though, is that John is eliminated along with every member of his family that was playing.

Lisa [01:06:07]:
Right? Right. And now it gets all.

Samantha [01:06:12]:
And who's. Who's still in.

Lisa [01:06:14]:
Fake fans still in.

Samantha [01:06:15]:
Canadians.

Lisa [01:06:16]:
The Canadians still winning. But I have lost two badly.

Samantha [01:06:22]:
Dwayne is out. He got eliminated as well.

Lisa [01:06:25]:
I hope Dwayne will come back and play next year.

Samantha [01:06:27]:
I hope so, too.

Lisa [01:06:28]:
Right. I hope John has it again next year. I think, however. What did I say? If I win this year, I need to try this for money because I could be raining man. And God forbid in my 55th year. We have not tapped. We're not tapping into that. We don't know that that skill exists.

Samantha [01:06:44]:
Right.

Lisa [01:06:45]:
Look out, Taylor Swift, Here comes rain man. Right?

Samantha [01:06:52]:
Oh, dear God.

Lisa [01:06:53]:
Samantha, I think we should go continue our conversation on Patreon. Oh, I got something really, really funny that we got a post that we Post. We had a conversation about the other day.

Samantha [01:07:03]:
Yes, we did.

Lisa [01:07:04]:
Right? Yeah, we gotta post that. And it's. It's. It's epic.

Samantha [01:07:10]:
It's epic.

Lisa [01:07:10]:
It's epic. Samantha, anything else you want to add?

Samantha [01:07:13]:
No, I'm good.
