Menopausal Smells, QR Code Hatred & Delusional Declarations

Lisa [00:00:06]:
So I got a box of chocolates today, right? Because God knows it's that season. Here's chocolates. You get chocolates, I get chocolates. I think it's just gonna be a regular box of chocolates. Open them up, excited. Ooh, they're pretty. These are some nice looking chocolates. Somebody has put the time in to make them look fancy.

Lisa [00:00:22]:
But guess what, Samantha, there's no roadmap in fancy chocolates. Are chocolates that fancy now that they don't get a map?

Samantha [00:00:29]:
I'm sorry, how do you not know what they are if they don't have a map?

Lisa [00:00:33]:
Because now there's a QR code. So now, so now I have to do some work. I have to take the gift and put some work into it before I can enjoy it.

Samantha [00:00:46]:
I bet that just ripped your shorts.

Lisa [00:00:49]:
I was not impressed, right? You know me, right? You can see me all excited. Woo, look at the pretty one. Looking for the map, looking through the map. There's no map, there's no set of rules. How do I know? Oh, hit the QR code to see what each one is. Are you kidding?

Samantha [00:01:04]:
This ain't no pot of gold, people.

Lisa [00:01:07]:
These are fancy. And I don't think Lisa Gibson's about a fancy chocolate like that.

Samantha [00:01:13]:
This is too classy for you.

Lisa [00:01:15]:
Too classy? It's too classy for me, right? I ain't that classy. I'm classy. I'm not that I'm not QR code map classy. I am not QR code map classy.

Samantha [00:01:26]:
I'm not surprised that you find a QR code is more work than it's worth.

Lisa [00:01:30]:
It's way more work. And what was I was like done. I don't need chocolates this bad. I don't need to do the work to get to the chocolate.

Samantha [00:01:38]:
Let me just slice them up and figure out what they are.

Lisa [00:01:41]:
I'm gonna go back to 1980. I'm just gonna bite in them and put it back, bite and put it back, bite and put it back till I find one that I like.

Samantha [00:01:49]:
That's horrible.

Lisa [00:01:50]:
That's what we used to do and they came with a map.

Samantha [00:01:54]:
They're your chocolates so you can do whatever you want, right?

Lisa [00:01:57]:
All I want is chocolates with a map. I don't want. Not everything has to become so EAS evolved that we can't manage.

Samantha [00:02:05]:
Oh, that's so sad.

Lisa [00:02:07]:
Or am I like, is that like the world's unclassiest comment to ever make?

Samantha [00:02:12]:
Yes, it is. And it's a little like first World problems.

Lisa [00:02:15]:
Right.

Samantha [00:02:16]:
Oh, darn it. My. My fancy chocolates didn't come with a map, but it didn't.

Lisa [00:02:22]:
But it didn't feel like a first world problem. It felt like a really big deal. You saw the text message I gave you.

Samantha [00:02:29]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:02:29]:
And it.

Samantha [00:02:30]:
And it accompanied pictures.

Lisa [00:02:32]:
Pictures and lots questions.

Samantha [00:02:36]:
Ah. You know what? I think it was an interesting move for the chocolate company to make. They just didn't under. They just don't understand the 1% of the population that's going to find that inconvenient.

Lisa [00:02:47]:
Totally inconvenient. What if I don't have my phone close by? Then what? Then what? How am I ever supposed to say, hey, Sam, do you want to try chocolate? Try this one. It's delicious? Well, I don't know that it is, actually, because I don't know. It doesn't tell me that it's the maple cream. I don't know if it's the maple cream.

Samantha [00:03:05]:
I don't got a map.

Lisa [00:03:06]:
I don't got a map. I got a QR code.

Samantha [00:03:10]:
Fantastic.

Lisa [00:03:11]:
Right? Okay. The. Not everything has to be QR coded.

Samantha [00:03:15]:
No, that's true.

Lisa [00:03:16]:
Right. I get. We brought them in for Covid. We're past this now.

Samantha [00:03:20]:
No, I think it's here to stay, so deal with that.

Lisa [00:03:23]:
I hate the menu that's QR coded, and I hate the chocolates that are QR coded.

Samantha [00:03:27]:
Oh, my God. Yes, you. Let's not dive into that hard copy.

Lisa [00:03:31]:
Gibson. Right.

Samantha [00:03:32]:
There you are. Okay. All right, well, I think it's time just to get this party started, Lisa.

Lisa [00:03:37]:
Okay. Okay. Samantha. Hello, friends of the podcast.

Samantha [00:03:41]:
Hello, everybody.

Lisa [00:03:45]:
Samantha, you know what? We up last week. Oh, we did. We royally up. You know what we did when we recorded last week? We should have said merry Christmas, and we did not.

Samantha [00:03:57]:
No, no, we did not.

Lisa [00:03:59]:
We did not wish one person a Merry Christmas.

Samantha [00:04:01]:
Well, I feel like we can do that in a multitude of ways.

Lisa [00:04:06]:
I know, but we never did it on the podcast.

Samantha [00:04:08]:
Oh. So.

Lisa [00:04:09]:
Right.

Samantha [00:04:09]:
Merry Christmas, everybody.

Lisa [00:04:11]:
Merry Christmas. Belated.

Samantha [00:04:14]:
Because now it's belated, but I don't know, can we do belated Merry Christmas?

Lisa [00:04:18]:
Is there such thing as a belated Merry Christmas? Do belated Merry Christmases, even.

Samantha [00:04:22]:
Well, we better say Happy New Year now, because, you know, by the early.

Lisa [00:04:25]:
New year, it's happy early New Year.

Samantha [00:04:28]:
Happy Holidays, and we hope you have a wonderful new Year.

Lisa [00:04:31]:
Right. But here's the thing. It's not our fault that this is how the calendar fell.

Samantha [00:04:35]:
Oh, it's a horrible time for Christmas. Why isn't it the middle of the week.

Lisa [00:04:39]:
Right. So the good Lord did not take us into consideration. That probably goes back to me being on the B list. He's probably like, ah, screw you, Lisa. We'll make this difficult for you and all you list friends.

Samantha [00:04:50]:
I don't think you're his. I don't think you're his buddy. That's for sure.

Lisa [00:04:54]:
Trying.

Samantha [00:04:54]:
I'm trying. I just feel like you're not.

Lisa [00:04:57]:
Just.

Samantha [00:04:59]:
I feel like you're not.

Lisa [00:05:00]:
I feel like I'm always one step behind. Hey, Like, I'm always. I feel like I'm always, like, I don't know, late to the party or something like that.

Samantha [00:05:07]:
Well, apparently both of us are late to the party to wish people a merry Christmas. But, hey, here we are. Happy New Year.

Lisa [00:05:14]:
At least we thought of it like. Like a greeting is better than no greeting. Yes isn't. Is it not?

Samantha [00:05:21]:
That's true. Very, very true. I guess maybe this year we didn't want to be as Christmassy. I don't know.

Lisa [00:05:27]:
I don't know. That's the tone, right? We don't want to be as Christmassy this year.

Samantha [00:05:30]:
I don't know. Why?

Lisa [00:05:32]:
I don't know. Are we anti Christmas? No.

Samantha [00:05:34]:
I don't feel like we are.

Lisa [00:05:36]:
Are we void of all things? Like, did we just say, like, maybe?

Samantha [00:05:39]:
Did our soul die this year?

Lisa [00:05:40]:
We just decided 20, 24. Did. Did. Did our souls die? Our Christmas souls? I don't know. I feel that I still have lots of Christmas in my heart.

Samantha [00:05:49]:
Yeah. Oh, always Christmas in your heart, Lisa.

Lisa [00:05:52]:
That's where Christmas lives, right? 24, seven in your heart.

Samantha [00:05:57]:
But, you know, I am curious to know so many things in this hour that we spent together. Why you want to discuss coffee, your stupid coffee quirks, and potentially maybe being a Renault Queen, which I feel is just a show waiting to happen, and why you want to discuss why we stuck gum under tables as kids?

Lisa [00:06:21]:
Because these are all things that just came to my mind this week, Samantha.

Samantha [00:06:24]:
I can only imagine.

Lisa [00:06:26]:
I talk to person, so I'm gonna talk to you.

Samantha [00:06:29]:
Huh?

Lisa [00:06:30]:
These things.

Samantha [00:06:31]:
All right.

Lisa [00:06:32]:
You always just got to judge me on what I.

Samantha [00:06:33]:
No, I'm not.

Lisa [00:06:34]:
No, I'm curious.

Samantha [00:06:36]:
I'm curious. I believe I said curious, not judgment.

Lisa [00:06:40]:
Is that a new way to say judgment? Curious.

Samantha [00:06:43]:
I'm curious.

Lisa [00:06:44]:
Curious. And then I'll judge after, right? I think it is. I think it is. I think it's right up there with understanding. Thanks for in advance. Thanks in advance.

Samantha [00:06:59]:
I feel like it could be the new way to be. Like, I'm Judging you. I'm curious.

Lisa [00:07:03]:
Just curious. Right? Just curious. Like, to put it this way. I'm just curious about something, Sam. Right. Sounds like judging you. Yeah.

Samantha [00:07:11]:
Potentially Good.

Lisa [00:07:12]:
It sounds nicer. My feelings. You. You did not hurt my feelings.

Samantha [00:07:15]:
Oh, okay.

Lisa [00:07:17]:
Normally you have the potential to hurt my feelings.

Samantha [00:07:20]:
Oh, I think you're a big girl. You can handle it.

Lisa [00:07:23]:
Sometimes I don't want to have to handle it, though.

Samantha [00:07:25]:
Yeah, that's too bad.

Lisa [00:07:26]:
Right? Sometimes I want you to not hurt my feelings.

Samantha [00:07:28]:
Yeah, ditto.

Lisa [00:07:30]:
I. I don't hurt your feelings. I do not hurt your feelings. I'm not the herder of feelings. That's not true.

Samantha [00:07:39]:
Oh, stop it.

Lisa [00:07:40]:
Right? That's not true.

Samantha [00:07:42]:
You are still on the B list. You're not on God's saint list. Okay?

Lisa [00:07:46]:
I'm not on your B list. I'll tell you that. You are not sainted.

Samantha [00:07:50]:
I never said I was.

Lisa [00:07:52]:
Well, and good. Because don't get confused.

Samantha [00:07:55]:
You're trying to live where I stand.

Lisa [00:07:57]:
You're trying to live vicariously through me. No. As I try to go up to the A list. No.

Samantha [00:08:03]:
And you're never gonna get there. You're never gonna get there. You'd have to stop lying. And that's never gonna happen.

Lisa [00:08:12]:
But remember how I said makes exceptions? He. He. He knows fully how I roll.

Samantha [00:08:20]:
Oh, God. Seriously?

Lisa [00:08:22]:
I don't want to talk about God. We're not here to talk about God right now.

Samantha [00:08:26]:
You know what it is because we're so close to his birthday. Right?

Lisa [00:08:29]:
Right. He's got a big birthday coming up. We can't.

Samantha [00:08:32]:
Big birthday coming.

Lisa [00:08:33]:
Hi. Happy birthday, God.

Samantha [00:08:34]:
Happy birthday.

Lisa [00:08:35]:
Not God. It's Jesus's birthday. We don't even know this.

Samantha [00:08:38]:
Oh, sorry. Jesus.

Lisa [00:08:40]:
Oh, we're horrible.

Samantha [00:08:41]:
See?

Lisa [00:08:41]:
Do we even know just God?

Samantha [00:08:42]:
Why? This is why you're on the B list.

Lisa [00:08:44]:
Lisa Haley Sims. Does God have a birthday? It does.

Samantha [00:08:49]:
God did answer the Jesus question.

Lisa [00:08:51]:
So you did. Right? So it's Jesus that has a birthday. So that should be a brownie point for me.

Samantha [00:08:58]:
Thanks for clarifying that for everyone.

Lisa [00:09:00]:
My goodness. Right. Okay, listen. I got a nice shake my head. Somebody said this the other day. I was saying how I just love bananas so much, Right? And somebody kind of looked at me oddly and they asked if I wash my bananas. Do you wash your bananas?

Samantha [00:09:17]:
No. Because then you peel it. The inside of it has not been touched.

Lisa [00:09:22]:
Right. But the outside of it has been pawed for a week by tons and tons of people.

Samantha [00:09:28]:
Uh huh.

Lisa [00:09:29]:
That's a lot of germs. We're just touching.

Samantha [00:09:31]:
That's what is your point.

Lisa [00:09:33]:
And then we peel it and then we put that germy hand on the banana and we eat it. All those germs, those germs and those germs and those germs from the peel.

Samantha [00:09:47]:
You don't bite the banana. You, like, touch the banana.

Lisa [00:09:51]:
How are you holding the banana? Do you unpeel it or do you keep it in its jacket?

Samantha [00:09:55]:
I keep it in its jacket.

Lisa [00:09:57]:
Well, I unpeel. I take it right out. Unless I'm with people, then I'm going to do it properly. But at home, you don't fully unpeel it.

Samantha [00:10:04]:
Not unless I'm cutting it up and putting it on some toast.

Lisa [00:10:06]:
Oh, I fully unpeel it. I got no time for the peel.

Samantha [00:10:10]:
Well, then I guess you better wash your hands.

Lisa [00:10:12]:
Right. So I'm shaking my head at whether or not I should be washing the outside of a banana.

Samantha [00:10:18]:
I don't feel you should, but whatever.

Lisa [00:10:20]:
You do you do you wash the outside of an orange?

Samantha [00:10:25]:
No, because you peel it right.

Lisa [00:10:27]:
I feel that seems different than a banana.

Samantha [00:10:30]:
I don't. Why? Because people buy that too.

Lisa [00:10:33]:
I know. It just seems different.

Samantha [00:10:34]:
I know.

Lisa [00:10:35]:
We wash the other fruit because you.

Samantha [00:10:37]:
Eat the apple skins.

Lisa [00:10:39]:
We wash the grapes that are in.

Samantha [00:10:40]:
A bag that have been apple skins. Like. Yes. You wash that stuff.

Lisa [00:10:45]:
So we eat. So we wash what? What is skinned?

Samantha [00:10:49]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:10:50]:
Is that what we're saying?

Samantha [00:10:51]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:10:51]:
And we don't wash what we're discarding.

Samantha [00:10:54]:
I guess not. Why are we having this discussion? You're 56. You should know that.

Lisa [00:11:02]:
I'm 55. I'm 55.

Samantha [00:11:04]:
You should know this already.

Lisa [00:11:05]:
Oh, because somebody brought it up and somebody said, oh, they should be sanitized.

Samantha [00:11:08]:
And I'm like, no, that makes no sense.

Lisa [00:11:11]:
But they do that with the apples, the water.

Samantha [00:11:14]:
Because you down on the outside of the apple.

Lisa [00:11:17]:
I don't. I peel it well.

Samantha [00:11:19]:
Because you're weird.

Lisa [00:11:20]:
And I cut it up.

Samantha [00:11:21]:
I know.

Lisa [00:11:22]:
And in the perfect world, an apple would automatically come with a little side of caramel.

Samantha [00:11:26]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:11:27]:
Right?

Samantha [00:11:27]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:11:28]:
Yes.

Samantha [00:11:29]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:11:30]:
Okay. I'm just saying. Okay, so good. Then I'm not that I've been doing it right.

Samantha [00:11:33]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:11:34]:
Because I don't clean it. But I. But I do. I take the whole banana.

Samantha [00:11:37]:
I love that somebody. That somebody brought that up. And you immediately thought you were doing it wrong.

Lisa [00:11:41]:
I thought I was doing it wrong. I'm like, oh. I'm like, how do you. I don't even know how to answer that question.

Samantha [00:11:46]:
Okay. All right, sorry. Well, I'm gonna shake my head at Instagram, sending me stupid posts about tarot car readings, and this is what's gonna happen to you in 2025.

Lisa [00:11:59]:
And I'm like, is it my lady?

Samantha [00:12:01]:
No, it's just all people. And it's like, dude, I just need to finish 2024. Can you just get off my back? And I want to just finish 2024. I am not even thinking about what 2025 looks like.

Lisa [00:12:15]:
That's not how it works. They're trying to give you a sneak peek.

Samantha [00:12:17]:
No, there's no peeking. There's no sneaking. Nope. I don't care.

Lisa [00:12:21]:
There's a sneak peek. There's a. Because there's a big reveal.

Samantha [00:12:24]:
Just because you got roped in to Agatha or Mary. Mary.

Lisa [00:12:29]:
Mary.

Samantha [00:12:30]:
Mary's astrological emails.

Lisa [00:12:33]:
Yes.

Samantha [00:12:34]:
Not all of us give a. I.

Lisa [00:12:36]:
Know, but I don't get the tarot. I'd be doing the tarot. You could just pick a card, and then you pick your card, and then they tells you the. You have. You have the card of plenty or the card of maybe not this year. Maybe get that card. I don't know.

Samantha [00:12:49]:
What are you. The card. You want the card of plenty? Is that what you want, Lisa?

Lisa [00:12:53]:
Well, I don't want to get the card of. Not this year, Lisa. I don't want that card. Right. I want the card of. Yeah, you go, girl. I want the you go girl card. I feel that she sits on the card and she's all, like, sassy.

Lisa [00:13:05]:
Right? Like, updated cards. Right?

Samantha [00:13:08]:
No, I don't got time for that right now. It's very mindful. It's mind boggling. And I'm just done.

Lisa [00:13:14]:
You just need to take the leap. You need to just see the peak.

Samantha [00:13:16]:
I don't need a leap, nor do I need a peak.

Lisa [00:13:18]:
Can you send me the link? I'll look at the leap, I'll look at the peak, and then I'll be like, okay, you know. You sure you don't want it? Sure you don't want it? Sure.

Samantha [00:13:26]:
No, I don't want it. No, no, no.

Lisa [00:13:29]:
That's where we differ. Hey.

Samantha [00:13:30]:
Shaking my head. I'm just done. I need enough with the algorithms. Like, I'm done with that.

Lisa [00:13:37]:
I hope I get the tarot card. Just. I'm putting it out there in the world, and maybe through. Through your energy, I will get the tarot card. One. Never get that.

Samantha [00:13:46]:
And then what if it says, go back where you came from?

Lisa [00:13:50]:
Like, what do you mean, go back.

Samantha [00:13:51]:
Where you're Gonna go back on the B list.

Lisa [00:13:54]:
Well. And then just trying to get off of it.

Samantha [00:13:57]:
And instead of on the B list, you're on the C list. That's work went down a tier.

Lisa [00:14:02]:
I think that's a slippery, slow pay. You got to be careful with that C list. Yeah, you maybe though. It's okay. But this is my analogy. Even though we weren't going to talk about it, but now that we're in it, Friends of the podcast. A few weeks ago we were talking about me being on the B list. God's B list.

Lisa [00:14:17]:
Okay. But what I think now is I don't think it's a distinct list. I think it's an overall. An overall achievement list. Because it's like I pictured being my 1983 public school report card. Right. She talks too much in class. She gets a C.

Lisa [00:14:36]:
Right. She's punctual. She gets an A. She's friendly. She gets an A. She knows her please and thank yous. A right. Isn't good at math.

Lisa [00:14:47]:
C spells okay. B. Right. And gets all those things right. Plays well with others. And then, and then all of a sudden, you know, you're just like A. You're like a B plus student, right?

Samantha [00:15:00]:
Uh huh.

Lisa [00:15:00]:
That's what I think it is. I think it's a whole lot of stuff that gets you there. So I think that you got to do a lot wrong to be. To slip down to C. Okay, well. And I'm used to being a C. I'm. I'm okay being a C.

Lisa [00:15:11]:
But I don't think I need to be God.

Samantha [00:15:13]:
C. No, you don't.

Lisa [00:15:14]:
Right. I don't think I need to be God's C in God's eyes. I don't think I need to be a C. All right, Everybody else's eyes, I don't give a. But God, God's. That's different. It's God.

Samantha [00:15:27]:
Oh, dear God.

Lisa [00:15:28]:
You know, it's God, right?

Samantha [00:15:29]:
Yes. Okay, right. Now that you explained yourself, okay, so.

Lisa [00:15:34]:
Now you get it.

Samantha [00:15:35]:
Do you feel better now?

Lisa [00:15:36]:
Well, I feel like I'm treading water to not slip down to be a sea.

Samantha [00:15:41]:
All right.

Lisa [00:15:42]:
Right. Because I watched a few minutes of that TV show that I talked about with that Joel scene, right? The, the, the Morse code blinker. Give me more money. Give me more money.

Samantha [00:15:51]:
Why are you watching him?

Lisa [00:15:53]:
Because I was trying to show my commitment to God. It was bad. It's bad.

Samantha [00:15:59]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:16:00]:
Especially because I don't want to give money. Right. I don't think God needs my money.

Samantha [00:16:03]:
God does not need Your money.

Lisa [00:16:05]:
Right. And then I tried to watch a woman. She was worse.

Samantha [00:16:08]:
Yeah. And then if. Honestly, I think Joel Olsteen makes a lot of money off the. The people. When he's in a saddle. He's in the saddle dome. He's. Yeah, he's got a very large.

Lisa [00:16:21]:
But you know who I'd go see?

Samantha [00:16:22]:
Church.

Lisa [00:16:23]:
I'd go see Benny Hinn.

Samantha [00:16:25]:
Who the hell is that?

Lisa [00:16:27]:
Benny Hinn was like an East Indian dude who wore a white suit and he had white hair, and he'd be like. And then he'd like, punch you kind of in the forehead and you'd fall back and you'd be healed.

Samantha [00:16:40]:
He was a snake charmer.

Lisa [00:16:42]:
Maybe. I don't know. Maybe he was smooth.

Samantha [00:16:46]:
One of those Southern Baptist church.

Lisa [00:16:50]:
He was smooth. He was smooth. Right? Anybody remember Benny Hinn? You don't know Benny Hinn? No, I know Benny Hinn. Okay. But listen, I did something kind of unexpectedly, and I conquered one of my fears.

Samantha [00:17:10]:
Oh, wow. Which one, Lisa?

Lisa [00:17:13]:
Well, a big one. Right. I conquered my fear of pouring coffee on top of coffee. Because I hate that. Right. I think that's gross. It's like meat on meat. Right.

Lisa [00:17:23]:
Unless it's a sub. Right. I don't like meat on meat.

Samantha [00:17:27]:
Oh, God.

Lisa [00:17:28]:
And I don't like coffee. Here's the thing, friends. The podcast. Right. We went out for breakfast. I don't like refilling coffee on top of old coffee.

Samantha [00:17:38]:
Right.

Lisa [00:17:39]:
You do usually. What do I do, Samantha?

Samantha [00:17:42]:
You stop drinking coffee.

Lisa [00:17:44]:
Or I ask for a new cup.

Samantha [00:17:46]:
Yeah, that's true. You've done that before.

Lisa [00:17:49]:
Because I don't like putting coffee on. Yeah. Or else then I'm done my coffee. Right.

Samantha [00:17:52]:
Typically, you then go through three cups.

Lisa [00:17:55]:
Right? Right. But this time I was like, pour it on top of the coffee.

Samantha [00:18:00]:
Let give her some coffee.

Lisa [00:18:02]:
Jen, pop coffee on top of coffee. Shall we? Right. It was weird. It was weird that I was okay with it.

Samantha [00:18:11]:
I just feel like, you know, you're. You're really old when you have a weird coffee habit. That's what I think.

Lisa [00:18:20]:
You don't have that problem because you don't care. You just want the coffee.

Samantha [00:18:23]:
Well, most of the time I've drank 3/4 of my coffee.

Lisa [00:18:27]:
Yeah, that's the problem. I haven't. Right. So by the time they're just topping mine up, I still have my three sweetener in there. And then I'm gonna add another three sweetener to it. Yeah. So now you're just drinking liquid sugar. Right.

Lisa [00:18:40]:
Brown liquid sugar is what. Really? I would Say is what I'm drinking.

Samantha [00:18:43]:
Oh, yes, you are.

Lisa [00:18:45]:
But I felt. I was pretty proud. But here's the thing. Even though I conquered it, I'm not convinced that I'm gonna stay comfortable in that space.

Samantha [00:18:54]:
I. If I'm gonna let me. I predict. I predict the next time we do coffee or breakfast out and you have cold coffee, you will ask for another cup. Because one time does not make a situation disappear.

Lisa [00:19:12]:
Right. Right.

Samantha [00:19:13]:
You will go right back to it.

Lisa [00:19:14]:
I will. I feel it was accidental, right?

Samantha [00:19:18]:
Totally. Because she just filled your cup and you were just like, oh, okay.

Lisa [00:19:23]:
Right. This is what we do. I guess this is how we do it. But you're right. I think. I think I can't live in that space.

Samantha [00:19:29]:
No, I predict that you will not fever formed. And that you will slide back into that one. Going back down.

Lisa [00:19:38]:
Yeah, I feel so too. I feel so too.

Samantha [00:19:40]:
You'll be fine.

Lisa [00:19:41]:
Right. It's like accidentally eating potato salad mid year. No, I'm not. I might have accidentally had a mouthful, but doesn't mean I'm about to do it. I'm not about to welcome it into the. Into the winter realm.

Samantha [00:19:53]:
And if anybody is new listening to this podcast, I apologize. Because Lisa has weird food quirks and. And they run. It's a gamut of things and first and foremost, seasonal. Because potato salad is only spring, summer, spring, summer, and spaghetti is only fall, winter, fall, winter. Just to give you an example of.

Lisa [00:20:18]:
Her seasonal food quirks, roast beef, fall, winter, anything heavy. Fall, winter, soup, fall, winter, anything really hot other than a steak on the barbecue or anything on a barbecue. Not in the summer. I'm not having a bowl of chili in July.

Samantha [00:20:33]:
Yeah, you're particular.

Lisa [00:20:35]:
Doesn't make me weird. It just makes me unique.

Samantha [00:20:40]:
You definitely let the world know what type of foods that you will eat when and where.

Lisa [00:20:45]:
Right. I'm just up front with people, just upfront with people, that's all.

Samantha [00:20:49]:
You know, what I'd like to know is like, who decided in the 70s and 80s that sticking gum under the table was a good idea?

Lisa [00:20:57]:
The world. Because the world did it. But why so disgusting?

Samantha [00:21:03]:
It is because if you go to a public place, there's gum underneath.

Lisa [00:21:07]:
And as a kid. Right. You always put your hand under the table. Right, Right. And there was always gum there. Little. And that big piece is just little bit off pieces of gum.

Samantha [00:21:17]:
Yeah. And then didn't that also. Isn't gum also found? I think we did that on our desk too, didn't we?

Lisa [00:21:23]:
Oh, yeah. You did it any place you Could. Because were we going back to it at some point? Is that why we did it?

Samantha [00:21:28]:
I don't know.

Lisa [00:21:29]:
Maybe reason or you didn't want. You were. Because, remember, remember back when we were kids, like when I was in school? You couldn't chew gum in class.

Samantha [00:21:36]:
No.

Lisa [00:21:37]:
So maybe we were taking it out and hiding it. I'll get it at recess. Put it under the desk.

Samantha [00:21:42]:
And then we forgot about it and it just grew hard and disgusting.

Lisa [00:21:45]:
Hard and disgusting. Right. But I'd like to think that those people at the restaurants would have known better. I mean, I remember people sticking their gum on the side of a plate. Yeah, like. Like, here's my question to this, Samantha. Napkins back in the day.

Samantha [00:22:03]:
Yes, of course they did.

Lisa [00:22:05]:
Why wouldn't people just rip a little piece of napkin off and put their. Their gum on it?

Samantha [00:22:08]:
I don't know, Lisa. Why did people use plates as cigarette ashtrays? Ashtrays, Right. Like, that's disgusting.

Lisa [00:22:16]:
Just a few of Gen X's nastiest dirty secrets, right?

Samantha [00:22:21]:
I don't know. I mean, do kids today stick gum underneath tables still?

Lisa [00:22:25]:
No, but I think they spit in public.

Samantha [00:22:27]:
Oh, well, they do that. Yeah.

Lisa [00:22:29]:
Right. Think that they're cool. They think they're cool.

Samantha [00:22:30]:
So they h. Yes, they hk.

Lisa [00:22:32]:
Right.

Samantha [00:22:33]:
Yeah, we hked, too. Like, there were guys.

Lisa [00:22:38]:
Yes, spitters. Always spitters.

Samantha [00:22:40]:
Besting.

Lisa [00:22:41]:
Yes, but spitters.

Samantha [00:22:44]:
We were those kids.

Lisa [00:22:45]:
Like, we were.

Samantha [00:22:47]:
Ugh.

Lisa [00:22:47]:
But that's gross.

Samantha [00:22:51]:
Do you remember Hubba Bubba? There was a rumor that went around that it was. That it had spider eggs in it.

Lisa [00:22:59]:
No, I don't remember that. Childhood memory.

Samantha [00:23:05]:
There was a rumor. There was a rumor that they made Hubba Bubba with spider eggs or something.

Lisa [00:23:11]:
Oh. I mean, that's why I just thought of that. Not that I'd be surprised. Nothing you ate as a kid in the 70s and 80s was. Was made properly or good.

Samantha [00:23:22]:
No. Oh, that's when they didn't give a. What chemicals you put in your body.

Lisa [00:23:25]:
Right. Like. Like, do you remember that gum? Freshen up. And then when you bit it.

Samantha [00:23:29]:
Yeah, I was just thinking that.

Lisa [00:23:31]:
Right, like that. That's a lethal weapon.

Samantha [00:23:35]:
That's a lethal weapon.

Lisa [00:23:36]:
That guy, I'm sure probably killed people somehow.

Samantha [00:23:39]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:23:40]:
The red one, that cinnamon one.

Samantha [00:23:41]:
Yes. Oh, it was a big red. It was big red.

Lisa [00:23:45]:
Yes, right. Like. Like, yeah, tell about it.

Samantha [00:23:51]:
Yeah. And then double double bubble is still out. Like, they still make it, but it's hard as rock.

Lisa [00:23:56]:
Did your parents chew gum? So my mom didn't chew gum. My dad, he was a double Mint member a double guy. And we were from the generation where. Hey, dad, can I have a piece of gum? And he'd go into his pocket and he'd get his pack, and he'd split the long piece of doubleman into three little, little piece for each of you kids. Like, we never ever got our own piece of gum.

Samantha [00:24:22]:
Oh.

Lisa [00:24:23]:
Never had our full piece of gum.

Samantha [00:24:25]:
I miss chewing gum.

Lisa [00:24:27]:
Yeah. You used to always chew gum.

Samantha [00:24:29]:
Yeah, but I can't now with my jaw.

Lisa [00:24:31]:
Yeah. But now the problem is, is that now gum tastes like medicine.

Samantha [00:24:34]:
All gum tastes like.

Lisa [00:24:35]:
All gum tastes like. Except for Juicy Fruit. Yeah. Which is still really sweet and delightful. Right?

Samantha [00:24:41]:
Yeah. And if you really want to go back in time, you just go buy that packet of thrills and taste the chemicals that they've used.

Lisa [00:24:49]:
It was a good, solid gum, Right. Tastes like. And I remember I'd be in trouble with my mom. She's like, I'm gonna make you lick the soap. Bring it, bring it. Taste like thrill gum. Like it's candy. Right?

Samantha [00:25:02]:
Oh, those were the days.

Lisa [00:25:04]:
Hey, those were the days. Those were the days. Okay. This isn't really from the past. This is something.

Samantha [00:25:11]:
No. Somehow.

Lisa [00:25:12]:
Yep, yep, yep, yep. Somehow I got. I've been watching home renovation shows.

Samantha [00:25:20]:
Oh, God.

Lisa [00:25:21]:
Right. And now it got me thinking, Samantha, is it really a talent, or is it something anybody can do if they're giving somebody else else's money to play with? Because I think I can be a renovation girl. No. Yes. No. Yes. No. Yes.

Lisa [00:25:40]:
No. Yes. Yes, yes, I can.

Samantha [00:25:45]:
This is a bit of a blast from the past, because I can do it. Listeners, if you're new, I'm gonna. I'm just gonna throw some stuff at you. Just listen clearly. Listen clearly. We've been doing this now for seven years, so we have a really big back catalog.

Lisa [00:26:03]:
We do.

Samantha [00:26:04]:
If you go back through it, you will find episodes where Lisa believes that she can forge and fire.

Lisa [00:26:10]:
If you.

Samantha [00:26:11]:
If you remember that show it. You forge Damascus steel or Damascus steel, Right? So even though she's never done it before, she believed concretely, wholeheartedly, that she could create a Damascus steel. Knife, blade, sword, whatever.

Lisa [00:26:32]:
Hi. Who could. Who can catch the tuna, right?

Samantha [00:26:38]:
And then she added to her repertoire that she was a chef. She's never really cooked or baked with, like, real ingredients, but she does. She definitely does believe that she can do all three of those things. So if you're new, I. I would ask you to go way back and check out some of those episodes, because she talks with such confidence.

Lisa [00:27:01]:
When I was Forging in fire. I would take a bike chain and melt it down. Right. And.

Samantha [00:27:09]:
Yeah. Hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer.

Lisa [00:27:10]:
Remember I was gonna go to that contest where I was just. All I had to do was chop, chop, chop, poke. Pope.

Samantha [00:27:16]:
Yes. With what you made.

Lisa [00:27:17]:
With what I made. Which would have been my Damascus steel.

Samantha [00:27:20]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:27:21]:
Knife, Right. I was going to make a knife.

Samantha [00:27:24]:
I apologize for people listening because she's gone delusional again.

Lisa [00:27:29]:
Right.

Samantha [00:27:29]:
It must be the stress of Christmas.

Lisa [00:27:31]:
Right? Like, a good tuna, Right. Would land you about $32 a pound if the year was good.

Samantha [00:27:38]:
You'd have to figure out how to fish. You would have to, like, go to the ocean.

Lisa [00:27:42]:
And you don't even want to leave Canada.

Samantha [00:27:45]:
Like, you'll never go to the.

Lisa [00:27:47]:
It's because I don't think I like other people's food. Right. Just saying. Right? Home renovation. Right up my alley.

Samantha [00:27:55]:
You don't even. You're gonna make so many people mad.

Lisa [00:27:59]:
Why?

Samantha [00:27:59]:
Because not everybody can renovate. Not everybody was made to, like, rip things apart and put them back together again. And you don't. You're not a designer. You don't know. You don't know how to measure. You don't know the space. You don't know if things will fit.

Lisa [00:28:13]:
Listen to how good this sounds. Lisa Gibson, property sister.

Samantha [00:28:17]:
Right. No.

Lisa [00:28:22]:
Yes. I'm a property sister.

Samantha [00:28:25]:
No, you're not.

Lisa [00:28:26]:
From another mister.

Samantha [00:28:27]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:28:28]:
Yes.

Samantha [00:28:30]:
I mean, they are Canadian, so you could probably tag in, but.

Lisa [00:28:33]:
Right. I've been watching, and yeah, for sure. I'm gonna get you all new silver appliances.

Samantha [00:28:39]:
No, no.

Lisa [00:28:40]:
Right. Look at. I gotta. You want the light wood, you want the dark wood. It's really just you asking questions, and then you're picking it. And I'm spe in your money. Right. I can do this.

Samantha [00:28:53]:
That's what you think this is Mostly. Oh, you're gonna make so many people mad.

Lisa [00:28:58]:
Mostly a little bit of hard work. Right. And I'm not saying I'm going to be the wrecking crew. That's maybe not my. If I'm a property sister, I'm probably not doing that part.

Samantha [00:29:06]:
Uhhuh.

Lisa [00:29:06]:
It's like Ben and Aaron, right? Hi, Aaron. I. Yes, yes, of course. Every kitchen can be green. Let's make them all green. That's our signature color. That seems pretty. She don't stray far.

Lisa [00:29:18]:
And then I'll paint a picture and you put it on your wall. Yes. Property sister.

Samantha [00:29:23]:
Oh, my God, you suck.

Lisa [00:29:24]:
I'm another Mr. No. Yeah.

Samantha [00:29:27]:
No.

Lisa [00:29:28]:
Do a show.

Samantha [00:29:30]:
Please don't. Please don't yeah.

Lisa [00:29:34]:
They must have competitions, right? What would you do with this space? Do? Decorate the space. I can decorate space.

Samantha [00:29:42]:
I. I really don't think you can.

Lisa [00:29:45]:
I bet you I can.

Samantha [00:29:46]:
I bet you you can't.

Lisa [00:29:48]:
I know, but you also didn't think I could do all the other things I've been able to do, and you've.

Samantha [00:29:51]:
Never proven that you can with the baking.

Lisa [00:29:55]:
I won the contest.

Samantha [00:29:57]:
You won a fake contest that you created.

Lisa [00:30:00]:
You saw the prizes.

Samantha [00:30:02]:
You won a fake contest that you created.

Lisa [00:30:05]:
Not only was I Miss Congeniality, I also.

Samantha [00:30:08]:
I. I totally understand that you think that this is just wonderful.

Lisa [00:30:16]:
Yes.

Samantha [00:30:17]:
But it's not.

Lisa [00:30:18]:
Right. And now I'm just watching them going.

Samantha [00:30:21]:
You just look slightly crazy. That's. I'm just. I'm just letting you know that you just look slightly crazy.

Lisa [00:30:27]:
I'm not trying to. It just might be my new passion. Okay, let me fix your space.

Samantha [00:30:33]:
No, don't you dare.

Lisa [00:30:34]:
Right? It's like, is it cake? Right. Let me bake.

Samantha [00:30:37]:
Okay.

Lisa [00:30:38]:
It's not cake. I can't bake. I could still do the game show. You just always know cake. Because I can't bake.

Samantha [00:30:47]:
Okay.

Lisa [00:30:48]:
Okay.

Samantha [00:30:49]:
All right.

Lisa [00:30:49]:
Thanks for the support in my dream.

Samantha [00:30:51]:
Yeah, I'm not supporting that one.

Lisa [00:30:53]:
I feel that loud and clear. Thank you.

Samantha [00:30:55]:
You're welcome.

Lisa [00:30:56]:
Message taken. Point made. Until my TV shows launched.

Samantha [00:31:03]:
Okay. I can't wait.

Lisa [00:31:05]:
And then we'll see.

Samantha [00:31:06]:
All right.

Lisa [00:31:07]:
Right.

Samantha [00:31:07]:
Well, while we're waiting for Lisa's TV show to launch, I'm going to. I'm going to talk about something that.

Lisa [00:31:16]:
I just discovered personal to you.

Samantha [00:31:19]:
I know it's not. It just was a little unsettling.

Lisa [00:31:22]:
Oh.

Samantha [00:31:25]:
So not only do we have menopausal smells to worry about.

Lisa [00:31:28]:
Right?

Samantha [00:31:29]:
But apparently there's old person smells now, too.

Lisa [00:31:32]:
Oh.

Samantha [00:31:33]:
And it's a real thing.

Lisa [00:31:35]:
How do you know? Like, is somebody around you smelling?

Samantha [00:31:38]:
No, it's what I've read, and it's a little disconcerting, but. And then I thought was, okay, just something else that you're gonna have to conquer besides, you know, all the other crap you have to conquer.

Lisa [00:31:50]:
Pad. You got the. You got the pull up.

Samantha [00:31:53]:
Like, I cannot wait to see what other hygiene products come out of this when people start blowing it out of proportion.

Lisa [00:32:00]:
Only thing I can think of is, like, the tux, right? They cool your hemorrhoids or something. I think those tux napkins, there's like something called a tux napkin, right? And I think you stick it on your hemorrhoid when you're old and it, like, soothes it or something. I think there's something to do with that.

Samantha [00:32:19]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:32:20]:
I think that's something we haven't discussed, is the tux.

Samantha [00:32:23]:
I'm so excited about that because you.

Lisa [00:32:26]:
Get the hemorrhoids on your. I think your bum gets hemorrhoids.

Samantha [00:32:31]:
Thanks for sharing that.

Lisa [00:32:33]:
I think. I think that is. Can you get them any other place or is it just in your bum?

Samantha [00:32:38]:
No, I think it's only your bum.

Lisa [00:32:39]:
Yeah. So these pet. These tucks, they're like a little cleaning cloth, and they cool it. There's like a cooling thing that make your ass not burn, I guess.

Samantha [00:32:50]:
Okay.

Lisa [00:32:51]:
I don't know anybody with hemorrhoids. Lend us your ear. How does it work?

Samantha [00:32:56]:
Oh, I just. I'm. I'm a little bit, like. I'm just not excited about the menopausal smells. And now I'm gonna have to worry, like, in 20 years if I'm gonna smell like an old person. Like, what's an old person smell like?

Lisa [00:33:09]:
But here's the thing, right? Are old people. Are they even really that hygienic?

Samantha [00:33:13]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:33:13]:
You think they are? Yes. These are getting all the parts.

Samantha [00:33:17]:
I would hope so.

Lisa [00:33:18]:
I don't know. When your shoulders don't work and your arms don't bend and your knees don't. Don't lock properly.

Samantha [00:33:23]:
Oh, God.

Lisa [00:33:24]:
I just. I think you better pray that there's lots of. On sticks, right? Because that's what. That's what. That's what we're gonna need in our future.

Samantha [00:33:33]:
On sticks.

Lisa [00:33:35]:
On sticks, right. It's helpful because you got to be able to get to stuff, right? I mean, already. Let's think about it. It's already hard to put our bra on because our shoulders don't want to go back there, let alone all the other stuff that you got to get to. And we're not at that old age. I just don't know. You know what? My grandma, she had a smell. Now that I think about it, she smelled like cigarette mothballs and a side of ponds cold cream.

Lisa [00:34:01]:
So, yeah, I guess there's some nasty smells coming our way.

Samantha [00:34:04]:
Yeah, my grandma's already smelled really good.

Lisa [00:34:07]:
Right. Probably too much. An na. Na. That flowery, powdery perfume that they loved.

Samantha [00:34:12]:
Yeah. But my grandma's always smelled good, though.

Lisa [00:34:15]:
Mine were smokers, so you can't smell that good.

Samantha [00:34:18]:
Well, that. Yeah. Well, my grandma, up to a point, was a smoker. Yes.

Lisa [00:34:21]:
Right. And then my nana smelled like Noxzema. And that was a nice smell or Vicks on her chest. Right. That was yummy too. Right? I don't know. It's just kind of weird.

Samantha [00:34:32]:
Well, that's what body sprays are for, right?

Lisa [00:34:34]:
I guess. Right? That's why they've been now we full circle moment. Now we know why there's the full body spray. It makes perfect sense now. We poo pooed it and now maybe we shouldn't have. Right? Months ago we discussed the full body spray. And yes, food it. It's not necessary.

Lisa [00:34:52]:
But mind you, they're not that clear on why it's being used.

Samantha [00:34:56]:
It's every part of you, Your feet, your, your, your.

Lisa [00:35:03]:
I'm just gonna hope that there's something on the stick to get to my. Am I on a stick? All right, I'm gonna go to the pharmacist and say I'm looking for something on a stick that'll get to my. And you're gonna say, I'm looking for a spray. And I'm gonna be like, that's just masking it. I actually want to try and loofah that smell away. That's where we differ. That's where we're gonna differ.

Samantha [00:35:28]:
That's where we're gonna differ.

Lisa [00:35:29]:
That's where we're gonna. We get older. Samantha.

Samantha [00:35:31]:
Right there.

Lisa [00:35:36]:
I've been feeling lately, I'm trying to on that my mind is stronger than my body. Right? This is my. One of my mantras for 2025, Lisa. Mind is stronger than your body. Your mind is stronger than your body. Say it once. See if you buy into it. Samantha.

Lisa [00:35:55]:
My mind is stronger than my body.

Samantha [00:35:57]:
You are delusional.

Lisa [00:35:59]:
So apparently you're not going to buy into this. That's fine. That's fine. But I am. And you know, I feel that I am going to. I am willing my body to self adjust to know when to apply the cooling process.

Samantha [00:36:12]:
Why? How do you apply.

Lisa [00:36:13]:
No, sorry.

Samantha [00:36:15]:
Stop. What is the cooling process, Lisa?

Lisa [00:36:20]:
It's just something that happens because my mind is stronger than my body.

Samantha [00:36:25]:
So when you do get a hot flash. So you're basically telling me you get hot flashes. When I get warm, people get a hot flash.

Lisa [00:36:33]:
People get warm when you get a warm flash. Maybe your sweater's too hot, right?

Samantha [00:36:37]:
You're going to sit there as you sweat, as you vet, you're going to be like, I, my mind is stronger than my body. I am willing you to be cool. And then as you still sizzle.

Lisa [00:36:51]:
No, no, no. I'm buying into this, okay? And I just have to Ride it through. Oh, and then all of a sudden it's gone.

Samantha [00:36:59]:
Yes. Because your body hasn't adjusted and it decided when it needed to leave.

Lisa [00:37:04]:
No. Nope. I am willing my body to self adjust.

Samantha [00:37:07]:
Okay. All right.

Lisa [00:37:08]:
Cooling process.

Samantha [00:37:09]:
Let's see how that goes for you.

Lisa [00:37:11]:
Right. So like when I'm sleeping, my foot automatically knows. Get out of that comforter, get out of the blanket. That's the start of the cooling process at nighttime.

Samantha [00:37:21]:
That is every menopausal woman who gets a hot flash.

Lisa [00:37:26]:
You call it what you call it.

Samantha [00:37:27]:
Like it goes off.

Lisa [00:37:28]:
I call it what I'm calling it.

Samantha [00:37:30]:
It's not mind over body, you dumb mind.

Lisa [00:37:34]:
Because my mind is stronger than my body.

Samantha [00:37:36]:
It's called take off a layer.

Lisa [00:37:40]:
It's called putting Karen Carpenter because she is who I listen to when I'm having a restful. When I can't sleep. I. I bring out Karen carpenter from the 70s because her angelic voice helps with me and my mind being stronger than my body.

Samantha [00:37:57]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:37:58]:
Right.

Samantha [00:37:59]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:37:59]:
If AI could just take her voice and say those words to me, I'd be set right.

Samantha [00:38:07]:
I'm sure I can.

Lisa [00:38:08]:
Right. I'm just saying Karen Carpenter is my girl. Right. She's my fix.

Samantha [00:38:12]:
All that's true. You're very fixated on Karen Carpenter.

Lisa [00:38:17]:
She's angelic. And Ann Murray, well, world's best voices right there. World's best voices.

Samantha [00:38:24]:
Sorry, guys, but apparently Lisa and I both have a bit of a runny nose to do.

Lisa [00:38:29]:
We get drippy. We get drippy after 9 o'clock at night.

Samantha [00:38:33]:
Yes. Apparently it's the old ladies are too up too late.

Lisa [00:38:37]:
Right. My mind is stronger than my body.

Samantha [00:38:41]:
Ah.

Lisa [00:38:45]:
It's just something I'm trying out.

Samantha [00:38:46]:
All right.

Lisa [00:38:47]:
You know, there's still some kinks.

Samantha [00:38:49]:
You let me know how it goes, okay?

Lisa [00:38:50]:
Still some kinks.

Samantha [00:38:51]:
All right, all right, all right. Well, since you're gonna do this new mantra thing, like, what else are you gonna embrace in this, in the new year in the 2025?

Lisa [00:39:00]:
Water.

Samantha [00:39:01]:
Okay, so water is like an everyday occurrence. Like you should be drinking it anyway.

Lisa [00:39:06]:
Well, I haven't been. And now I'm going to try really hard every day to drink like one of those cool cups. Like, you know how. Not like the Stanley, not that much water, but you know, like the other one, like the other sizes. I'm. Guess what, I'm gonna bring it to work. I'm gonna bring it to work and see what happens.

Samantha [00:39:26]:
That doesn't mean you're gonna drink from it.

Lisa [00:39:28]:
I'm gonna try Right. Because my mind is stronger than my body. Will myself to drink the water, pee all day long.

Samantha [00:39:36]:
Yes. And that's what you should do because that's what happens when you drink water.

Lisa [00:39:40]:
Nope. That's what I'm going to try and do is right, is I just want. I just want to drink water. Like everybody drinks water. And I have an issue with water because water to me is somebody telling me, you need to drink water. And you know, I push back on that. Right.

Samantha [00:39:52]:
I don't know why.

Lisa [00:39:53]:
I don't like being told what to do. I don't like being told what to do.

Samantha [00:39:57]:
Okay. So your body does need liquid to live. Do you understand?

Lisa [00:40:01]:
It's been telling me that I get that.

Samantha [00:40:03]:
Okay.

Lisa [00:40:04]:
Okay. And I got a water from yesterday still.

Samantha [00:40:08]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:40:08]:
Look at how much it's gone. A quarter of it.

Samantha [00:40:12]:
Oh my God.

Lisa [00:40:13]:
Right?

Samantha [00:40:13]:
Okay. Yep. All right.

Lisa [00:40:15]:
What about you? What are you embracing?

Samantha [00:40:16]:
I'm going to embrace sleep.

Lisa [00:40:19]:
That's not like a. That's not like a New Year's resolution.

Samantha [00:40:22]:
It is when you, you aren't really getting any.

Lisa [00:40:25]:
Why aren't you sleeping?

Samantha [00:40:26]:
Because I'm old.

Lisa [00:40:28]:
Because you're old and hot.

Samantha [00:40:30]:
I just, I wake up. It's just one of those things.

Lisa [00:40:33]:
Are you putting your foot out?

Samantha [00:40:35]:
I take. It's not even that, Lisa. It's just all of a sudden my brain is like, hi, you're awake.

Lisa [00:40:40]:
Oh, hi. Mine certainly does that.

Samantha [00:40:42]:
And I'm like, hi, I'm going back to bed.

Lisa [00:40:46]:
I'm always awake. I start now. I'm waking up at like 3:30 in the morning. I just don't stress it, I just ride through it. Why is that, Samantha? Because my mind is stronger than my body. Right. So I don't get all worked up that it's 3:00 in the morning and I could sleep for another two and a half hours. I'm just like, okay, lime.

Lisa [00:41:05]:
I'm. If this is the journey of today, the journey. Wake up at 3:30. I can do that.

Samantha [00:41:12]:
All right.

Lisa [00:41:12]:
I can do that. And I'm gonna. You know what? Of course I'm gonna again try with the non essential breads. Right?

Samantha [00:41:18]:
You're gonna try to not eat non essential breads.

Lisa [00:41:21]:
I'm gonna try and cut out. I'm gonna try and only eat like the essential breads.

Samantha [00:41:26]:
And what would be essential?

Lisa [00:41:28]:
Like bread. Just bread is essential. Right. Like, like you're.

Samantha [00:41:32]:
Because if you want what is exactly noness. Okay, so I've. I apologize to the new listeners that have just popped in.

Lisa [00:41:40]:
This is like A four year old resolution.

Samantha [00:41:42]:
This is, this is Lisa not being realistic around bread product because she thinks that only. I don't even think you have a non essential bread list because you think everything is essential when it comes to.

Lisa [00:41:55]:
I don't think the bread bull is essential. Unless of course you're.

Samantha [00:41:58]:
You never have bowls. Bread bowl.

Lisa [00:42:00]:
Right. So I said you have.

Samantha [00:42:01]:
When's the last time you had a bread bowl, Lisa? With some.

Lisa [00:42:04]:
I haven't because I don't like. You know what? I don't trust a bread bowl.

Samantha [00:42:08]:
Actually, it doesn't exist.

Lisa [00:42:10]:
There's a trust issue with the bread bowl.

Samantha [00:42:12]:
I'm not sure why.

Lisa [00:42:13]:
Liquid and then in a bread bowl, then it becomes a soggy bottom. Where's that liquid go? On my lap. No thank you. No thank you. I don't want it there.

Samantha [00:42:22]:
But everything. But everything else. You want bread, bagels.

Lisa [00:42:27]:
I probably don't need baguette. I probably don't need baguette in my life.

Samantha [00:42:30]:
Okay, so that's a non essential.

Lisa [00:42:32]:
It's non essential.

Samantha [00:42:33]:
Okay.

Lisa [00:42:34]:
Right. So baguette, like I probably, I don't want to rule out croissant. I thought about croissant last year, played around with croissant and then I couldn't do it. Right. Because I love a croissant. I could probably live without bagels. Not essential.

Samantha [00:42:50]:
Oh God.

Lisa [00:42:51]:
I'm just saying, right? Like it. For four years I haven't succeeded. I want to succeed at one of my things.

Samantha [00:42:56]:
Okay.

Lisa [00:42:57]:
Because I don't think I'm going to do well with water. Right? Because I'm going to go try the water. I'm going to instantly mad at water because I'm not water's. Samantha, can we just change this completely? I just want to go back 30 years and look to see what was really popular and fun in 1995. Okay? Everything was better. You were younger about resolution.

Samantha [00:43:20]:
You had. You probably weren't as fat as you are now in 1995.

Lisa [00:43:24]:
Are you saying like me, Lisa, or are you saying is it a general we, Me, me, me or me? I just clarify that, please. Like can I ask for some clarification? Could you, could you put that in a different sentence, please? Give me the origin of that phrase. What am I hearing? I'm hearing, oh, that's the pot calling the kettle black. Going back to 1995. All right, I'm sure we carry a few less pounds.

Samantha [00:44:02]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:44:02]:
Starbucks. Starbucks introduced the Frappuccino in 1995.

Samantha [00:44:06]:
God, it's been around that long.

Lisa [00:44:08]:
Yeah. Sun dried tomatoes made their first Thing in the trendy category.

Samantha [00:44:11]:
Oh, that is trendy.

Lisa [00:44:13]:
And remember. And that became everything. Hey, everything became a sun dried tomato. Right. Alanis Morissette, fellow Canadian, released Jagged Little Pill. Right.

Samantha [00:44:23]:
You her one and only album.

Lisa [00:44:26]:
I feel it's her one and only album. Right. The Rachel haircut from Friends blew up. Did you have the Rachel?

Samantha [00:44:35]:
No, I did not.

Lisa [00:44:36]:
You kind of had the Rachel in the 2000s. You had a little bit. Right. It looks a little bit like the Rachel now.

Samantha [00:44:44]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:44:44]:
She kind of got the Rachel hair. Right. George Clooney was all popular. Remember his little Caesar hairdo from. Remember when he was in ER and. Yeah. Kind of his big comeback.

Samantha [00:44:54]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:44:55]:
But it was just done shows.

Samantha [00:44:57]:
It was bad haircut.

Lisa [00:44:58]:
It was a bad haircut. The Caesar haircut was a bad haircut. Right. It just.

Samantha [00:45:02]:
It like made his forehead look weird.

Lisa [00:45:05]:
Probably looked like mine. Big. Hey, I feel like. I feel like I don't like you a whole lot sometimes. Right. Made his hair.

Samantha [00:45:19]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:45:19]:
Because I knew where you were going. I saw you looking.

Samantha [00:45:21]:
I didn't say anything.

Lisa [00:45:23]:
Any chance you can make fun of my forehead? You're just jealous because I'm lovely.

Samantha [00:45:28]:
You're very on trend with the microbes.

Lisa [00:45:30]:
Like with my micro. They'd be better if they came down. If I could just grow them down a little bit. Right. That would be better.

Samantha [00:45:38]:
Okay.

Lisa [00:45:38]:
They don't do that, but those were some things in 19. In 1995. Right.

Samantha [00:45:44]:
God, what was I doing in 1995?

Lisa [00:45:46]:
What was I doing in. I don't know, finishing school? Working.

Samantha [00:45:50]:
I was definitely working. I think I probably had three jobs at the point. At that point.

Lisa [00:45:54]:
Yeah, I was working. I was done university by then.

Samantha [00:45:59]:
No, I didn't do that then.

Lisa [00:46:01]:
Yeah.

Samantha [00:46:02]:
You know, it worked. Partied.

Lisa [00:46:04]:
Work, work, work, work, work. And then partied for sure.

Samantha [00:46:07]:
Party, party, party, party.

Lisa [00:46:08]:
We're party girls. My girl wants to party all the time. Party all the time. Right? Yeah.

Samantha [00:46:19]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:46:23]:
Hit the. Hit the club Lis and Sam, popular in the club.

Samantha [00:46:26]:
We're all. We're all family club all famine the.

Lisa [00:46:30]:
Club.

Samantha [00:46:32]:
Such a stupid tread.

Lisa [00:46:34]:
Sounds ridiculous coming from us. Yeah, we're. We're never in the club. Okay.

Samantha [00:46:41]:
But now as we get closer to the New Year's thing, is there anything that you're going to pitch from your closet? Like, do you feel like there are things that need to go?

Lisa [00:46:52]:
No. Like maybe. Yeah. Yeah. Like probably. Right. Like, how about clothes that you know are never going to fit you again? Remember back when we were skinnier?

Samantha [00:47:00]:
It's time to get rid of clothes that no longer serve their purpose.

Lisa [00:47:03]:
Because it's time to just admit it, Right? Like to throw in the white towel. All right, Muffin Top, you win. You win. Double chin and Muffin Top for the win, Right? Probably should do that. Probably should.

Samantha [00:47:21]:
Maybe like, if you have any old bridesmaids dresses hanging out. Oh, with the magic.

Lisa [00:47:25]:
God, why do people keep those in the first place? I know. Because I paid so much.

Samantha [00:47:29]:
Because you've paid a lot of money for that.

Lisa [00:47:30]:
One day I'm going to get it cut short. And you're not going to. Right. You know what?

Samantha [00:47:34]:
You're never going to wear it again.

Lisa [00:47:35]:
No. And if you are a lady in your 50s and you still have them, get rid of them. Because guess what? That puffy sleeve. Never coming back.

Samantha [00:47:41]:
Yeah, whatever. That dress is never coming back.

Lisa [00:47:44]:
It wasn't in style then, not in style now, not gonna. Not in style in the future.

Samantha [00:47:49]:
I think people should go through their socks in their underwear.

Lisa [00:47:52]:
Oh, I always have, like, one sock that has a hole in the toe and one sock that doesn't. Right. And you get rid of those socks. You don't get rid of them. I just wear them still. I don't care. I'll wear a holy toed.

Samantha [00:48:06]:
I feel like right now your mother is very disappointed. Like, like, like she's up in heaven. She is on the A list because she's hanging out there, decorated, she's done some decorating, and she's now looking down upon you going, what did I. I did not teach her anything.

Lisa [00:48:25]:
When did you become trashy?

Samantha [00:48:26]:
Right?

Lisa [00:48:27]:
When did you become trashy?

Samantha [00:48:28]:
Waiting.

Lisa [00:48:28]:
Way to let her down. Trashy and cheap. That's what happened. Still wear my bra in public, Mom.

Samantha [00:48:37]:
Oh, my God. That's also something, guys, that you need to look at is your bras. It's time.

Lisa [00:48:42]:
Look at time.

Samantha [00:48:43]:
It's time to look at your yearly.

Lisa [00:48:44]:
Inventory on those guys.

Samantha [00:48:46]:
It's time.

Lisa [00:48:47]:
It's okay. It's okay. Yeah. And you can tell, you know, you know when you put. Everybody has their weekend bra that, you know, oh, it's good if I'm just zipping to the Walmart, but I shouldn't wear it to work. I have one bra that, that. It's still a good bra, but it just wasn't made quite like the others. And I can't tell because they all kind of look very similar big.

Lisa [00:49:06]:
So when I put it on and maybe like half an hour into my day, I'm like, oh, son of a bitch. It's that bra. And as the day goes. Everything just starts going down, down, down.

Samantha [00:49:17]:
Further, further, further, further, further, further.

Lisa [00:49:20]:
I was wearing a bra the other day. And, you know, this sounds so bizarre, Friends of the podcast. But I'm gonna say it. And all I thought was, I feel like I'm Sam. Because sometimes you have those bras and your boobs are, like, almost at your chin, right? Like, you got some. Good. Because they're perky, right? And I don't usually have those because I'm a bigger, busted woman, right? But I had this one bra. It's like a magic one, I guess.

Lisa [00:49:41]:
And through the halls at the hospital, and I'm, like, kind of looking down, and I could, like, actually see, like, here they were. And I'm like. I feel like I'm. I feel like Sam, right now, you.

Samantha [00:49:55]:
Just need a bra that hikes them.

Lisa [00:49:56]:
Up, Hikes them up, right? Hikes them up, hikes them up. Old shoes. Get rid of old shoes, too.

Samantha [00:50:03]:
Stained clothing. Come on, guys. We all got it. We all got it. And clothing with holes. Clothing with holes. Gotta go.

Lisa [00:50:09]:
It's gotta go. It's gotta go. You gotta get rid of some of that, right?

Samantha [00:50:12]:
Come on, it's. We're going into 2025. Feeling good.

Lisa [00:50:16]:
Feeling good, right? Mind is better. I already forget the phrase. Oh. Always forget the phrase, mind is stronger than the body.

Samantha [00:50:23]:
My mind is talking.

Lisa [00:50:24]:
The mind is stronger than the body, not smarter.

Samantha [00:50:27]:
Doc. It's not gonna last long. Okay, folks, Just don't get excited, right?

Lisa [00:50:31]:
Don't like it. Probably won't get to a T shirt because I'll have forgotten the phrase by then. That's just how shit goes, right?

Samantha [00:50:38]:
Oh, God, yes.

Lisa [00:50:39]:
But you know what I haven't forgotten, Samantha? I haven't forgotten how thankful I am that our friend Adam Sandler gave us the gift of Hanukkah.

Samantha [00:50:54]:
He did. Through song.

Lisa [00:50:55]:
Through song, right? And all the kids that aren't Hanukkah kids got to understand and see another side.

Samantha [00:51:05]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:51:07]:
Because of the Hanukkah song.

Samantha [00:51:09]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:51:09]:
My favorite lyrics. In it, we got Ann Landers and her sister Dear Abby. Harrison Ford's a quarter Jewish. Not too shabby. Some people think that Ebenezer Scrooge is. Well, he's not, but guess who is. All Three Stooges, right? That's my favorite verse in it. But I love the whole song.

Lisa [00:51:28]:
Right? Because I maybe didn't always know that Hanukkah was the Festival of Lights. Instead of. What is it? Instead of, how does it go? You have eight crazy nights, right? Like, he really. He Nails it. He nails it and I'm happy.

Samantha [00:51:47]:
Yes. It's a good song. And you do learn from the song.

Lisa [00:51:51]:
You learn from the song. Right, Right. You can spin a dreidel. Right? Like, there's so much covered in that song. Some of the best Jewish people are mentioned. Yes, right. Like shout outs to lots of them. Yeah, right.

Samantha [00:52:07]:
It's a Good, funny song.

Lisa [00:52:08]:
O.J. simpson, not a Jew. But guess who is hall of famer Rod Carew. Who knew? I didn't know that. I did not know that before that song. I had no clue. Yeah, right.

Samantha [00:52:20]:
It's a good song.

Lisa [00:52:22]:
I just appreciate that. Right.

Samantha [00:52:24]:
Adam Sandler, pretty funny guy.

Lisa [00:52:28]:
The things he does. Like, remember. Also when he did remember. Phone, wallet, keys, phone, wallet. Remember he did that song and he's like, I'm going on a trip. I gotta take my phone, wallet, keys, phone, wallet. Oh, forgot my passport. Phone, wallet, passport, keys.

Lisa [00:52:44]:
Like, he's. He's brilliant. He's brilliant. So shout out to him. And the Hanukkah.

Samantha [00:52:51]:
And the Hanukkah song.

Lisa [00:52:52]:
The Hanukkah song. Right.

Samantha [00:52:54]:
Okay. I have to do a shout out because I watched the new Christmas movie from the Rock that.

Lisa [00:53:01]:
Oh, I never heard of it.

Samantha [00:53:02]:
It's called Red One. It's on prime and I'm sure our listeners know all about this.

Lisa [00:53:06]:
Okay.

Samantha [00:53:07]:
And at first it was in the movie theaters, and then it came to prime and I was like, okay, I'm gonna watch it. You know, new Christmas movies. Sure, sure. Damn, it was good. It was so good. So good. I hate him right now because I don't cry. Christmas movies, that's not really my thing.

Samantha [00:53:25]:
Yeah. And he got me teary at the end and I really knew. God damn you, Rock. God damn you. Nope.

Lisa [00:53:34]:
Totally different.

Samantha [00:53:35]:
Totally different.

Lisa [00:53:36]:
It's straight from the Hallmark formula.

Samantha [00:53:38]:
This is not Hallmark, it's the Rock. And of course, it had a little action in it.

Lisa [00:53:43]:
Okay.

Samantha [00:53:43]:
And Chris Evans.

Lisa [00:53:46]:
Don't know who that is.

Samantha [00:53:47]:
And they. It was just. It was really good. And it's now on my holiday movie list.

Lisa [00:53:53]:
Well, there you go, friends of the podcast. Two thumbs up from Samantha.

Samantha [00:53:57]:
And I had no.

Lisa [00:53:57]:
You know her, you know, with her choices, you can't go wrong. She's got that one about chess. She's got Miss Marple. And now she's got Red One starring the Rock.

Samantha [00:54:07]:
Right. But I've got lots. A lot of people. But I just. I'm just. You were raving about Adam Sandler. I needed to rave about the Rock because I quite enjoy him.

Lisa [00:54:17]:
That's okay, you know who I'm not gonna rave about? As much as I like these two individuals, right? Jimmy Fallon and Nate Bergazzi. I'm not gonna rave about their holiday specials.

Samantha [00:54:28]:
Good. Because I got bored of Jimmy like that. Really bored. I got bored.

Lisa [00:54:34]:
You know what? First off, they're no Anne Murray. Anne Murray set the bar for Christmas specials. Anne Murray did.

Samantha [00:54:43]:
Yeah. Okay. All right.

Lisa [00:54:44]:
Jan Arden has a decent Christmas special. Has a decent. And that pains me. Michael Buble has Christmas special. Jimmy Fallon and neighbor Gotzi. Horrible Christmas specials. Maybe like, don't do them. Don't do them.

Lisa [00:55:02]:
Don't do them. Guys. Right? Like, I get you look cute in your little tuxedos, but yeah, that's it. It's the end of it. Not the. Oh, I was. Me too. I'm like, I never.

Lisa [00:55:14]:
I didn't probably didn't get through the first half hour.

Samantha [00:55:16]:
Oh, see, I think I lasted in the first 10 to 15 minutes with Jimmy Fallon. And frankly, I'm sorry, but I don't know who. Nate Bergazi, Beth Ghazi. Berghazi. What? Whoever.

Lisa [00:55:26]:
He's a stand up comedian. He's really, really funny. He's got some Netflix. Com specials. He's really funny. I really enjoy his stand up comedy. But just because you can do standup comedy does not mean you can do a Christmas special. Yeah, right.

Lisa [00:55:39]:
Like Anne Murray. She's not doing standup comedy, but she's doing her songs and her Christmas specials. Just saying. That's all I'm gonna say about that.

Samantha [00:55:48]:
Right?

Lisa [00:55:49]:
That's all I'm gonna say.

Samantha [00:55:50]:
Christmas in Killarney.

Lisa [00:55:52]:
Right, right. Napolis, Navidead and the Holly Greens. Yeah, right. All of it. It's all wonderful. But these guys are singing new. I just made up this song. Yeah.

Samantha [00:56:03]:
Jimmy has a new album.

Lisa [00:56:05]:
I know, right? Nobody can.

Samantha [00:56:06]:
He got lots of famous people to sing with him.

Lisa [00:56:09]:
Of course. Because he's Jimmy Fallon and I have.

Samantha [00:56:11]:
No interest in any of the songs.

Lisa [00:56:13]:
Nope. Nothing, Right?

Samantha [00:56:15]:
Nope.

Lisa [00:56:15]:
Nothing. But yet everybody know Anne Murray. Right. It's Christmasing Killarney and all of the folks at home. Right, okay.

Samantha [00:56:26]:
All right. So we hated on two. That's not right. It's Christmas. We should say something nice. But we can't, so.

Lisa [00:56:33]:
Not about that. Not about that.

Samantha [00:56:35]:
We're sitting in judgment.

Lisa [00:56:36]:
We were curious, just curious. Just. I'm just curious to. I'm just curious, Samantha, as to what they were thinking. That's all. Just curious to what was going through their heads when they were filming that.

Samantha [00:56:48]:
I'm just curious who decided to tell Them to do a Christmas.

Lisa [00:56:52]:
Just curious. Who thought that they were, like, the appropriate Christmas people?

Samantha [00:56:57]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:56:58]:
Right.

Samantha [00:56:58]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:56:59]:
Just. Just curious.

Samantha [00:57:01]:
Just curious.

Lisa [00:57:02]:
Just curious. That's all. Not judging, just curious. Just curiosity, not judgment. Curiosity, not judgment.

Samantha [00:57:07]:
Well, okay. You're gonna judge me, but I don't care. I had to do last minute Christmas shopping on Saturday. Yes. I went Christmas shopping the last Saturday before Christmas. I understood the assignment. I knew that I was going into the war zone. I fully understood that.

Lisa [00:57:21]:
And I went on Smile on my alarm.

Samantha [00:57:24]:
And I was like, I will be patient. I will be strategic as to where I park. I will. I will walk to my destinations if I have to. Because I'd rather park far away and not get hit.

Lisa [00:57:36]:
Okay.

Samantha [00:57:37]:
Park close and never get out of the parking lot.

Lisa [00:57:40]:
Right. Okay.

Samantha [00:57:42]:
So I did that. And I was. I was strategic and I. And I. And I had a plan and I. And I got everything accomplished and I picked up all the things I needed to pick up. I was. I was feeling very like.

Samantha [00:57:54]:
I feel sorry for you. Merry Christmas. Thank you for your help. You've been very kind. I feel. I feel your pain. I'm sorry.

Lisa [00:58:01]:
That's fine.

Samantha [00:58:02]:
I was being nice to all the clerks that I thought because I'm like, they were. They look frazzled. They looked tired. I'm like, I get you.

Lisa [00:58:11]:
I see you. Right, right, right.

Samantha [00:58:13]:
You'll make it through. I promise.

Lisa [00:58:15]:
Right. And everything turned out okay.

Samantha [00:58:18]:
Everything turned out okay. I was very strategic.

Lisa [00:58:21]:
Good.

Samantha [00:58:21]:
And then I learned my mother did the exact same thing as me. She parked in the exact same place that I parked and walked to every day. I'm like, oh, my God. I am my mother's daughter.

Lisa [00:58:33]:
Are your mother's daughter.

Samantha [00:58:34]:
Right.

Lisa [00:58:34]:
You are your mother's daughter.

Samantha [00:58:36]:
Right. That freaked me out.

Lisa [00:58:38]:
Right. But that's a positive. Right? So there. We didn't poo poo Christmas there.

Samantha [00:58:42]:
No, I was like. I was, like, feeling. I was like, I gotta get stuff done. It's on meets Saturday before Christmas. Gonna suck.

Lisa [00:58:48]:
Totally.

Samantha [00:58:49]:
You know what? You stay calm. You stay loose. I shook it out.

Lisa [00:58:53]:
It is what it is. Okay, Now I feel like a shithead because now I feel like I'm gonna poo poo on Christmas again.

Samantha [00:58:59]:
Of course. Because that's what you do.

Lisa [00:59:00]:
It's not that I'm trying to poo poo. You know what it is, Samantha? I love a Chia Pet.

Samantha [00:59:08]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:59:09]:
Cheap. I love the bull. And I love Bob Ross.

Samantha [00:59:13]:
Yes, you do.

Lisa [00:59:14]:
Right now. There's hello Kitty. There's Barack Obama. There's Scooby Doo.

Samantha [00:59:22]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:59:23]:
And I think it needs to stop. The Chia Pet does not need to become more characters. The Chia Pet needs to stay iconic like it is.

Samantha [00:59:34]:
Okay.

Lisa [00:59:34]:
Not everything needs to grow seeds from its head.

Samantha [00:59:38]:
True.

Lisa [00:59:39]:
Right. Not everything.

Samantha [00:59:40]:
Not everything.

Lisa [00:59:41]:
Right. Not everything needs to have seeds. That's all I'm going to say about that.

Samantha [00:59:46]:
So you just don't want things to change, Is that it?

Lisa [00:59:49]:
I want things to change. We don't need to change it. The Chia Pet. No. You love a Chia Pet. You love the Chia Pet. Get the sheep. Get the sheep.

Lisa [00:59:57]:
Get the bull. Get the sheep. Or the bull. Or Bob Ross.

Samantha [00:59:59]:
Okay. But sometimes.

Lisa [01:00:03]:
There'S no reason why the Chia Pet. Nothing else about the Chia Pet changed. They didn't make it easier to grow. They didn't give it better sprouts. They didn't do anything to make it. Any reason why it needs to change? It don't need to change. Oh, it needs to stay the same.

Samantha [01:00:20]:
You just poo poo everything that moves.

Lisa [01:00:23]:
Hello Kitty wasn't even born around the time of the Chia Pet.

Samantha [01:00:26]:
But why can't. But shouldn't it also have the chance to be.

Lisa [01:00:30]:
They should not. No. No. Because there's Chia Pets and then there's no. Nothing else.

Samantha [01:00:37]:
No knockoffs of Chia Pets.

Lisa [01:00:39]:
Nothing. There shouldn't even be that. Just. Just have the regular Chia Pet. Yeah, Right. Exactly. Not. And then that's the end of it.

Lisa [01:00:47]:
Right.

Samantha [01:00:48]:
That's so 1970s.

Lisa [01:00:50]:
Totally. But it was wonderful, right? It was wonderful.

Samantha [01:00:56]:
Do you feel like you've gotten all your rage out now?

Lisa [01:00:58]:
I got my rage out.

Samantha [01:00:59]:
Okay.

Lisa [01:01:00]:
Right.

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

Lisa [01:01:01]:
So we. We posted a post about eggnog.

Samantha [01:01:04]:
Yes, you did.

Lisa [01:01:05]:
We. I asked people to weigh in. Right. Eggnog, yay or nay? Yes.

Samantha [01:01:09]:
You thought you were gonna win, though.

Lisa [01:01:13]:
I don't. I did. You didn't.

Samantha [01:01:15]:
You didn't really win.

Lisa [01:01:16]:
I felt I didn't win.

Samantha [01:01:18]:
No, you didn't. No, you didn't. No.

Lisa [01:01:20]:
I felt that, like, you and I, we have disagreements about eggnog.

Samantha [01:01:25]:
I love it.

Lisa [01:01:26]:
I hate it.

Samantha [01:01:27]:
I know.

Lisa [01:01:28]:
It's not a vanilla shake. Wendy McIntyre.

Samantha [01:01:33]:
It does not taste like a van.

Lisa [01:01:35]:
She was drinking hers with brandy. And probably anything with brandy. Probably tastes delightful.

Samantha [01:01:41]:
Probably.

Lisa [01:01:41]:
Right. Eggnog. The name. It's the name. Le Dupoulet. Right.

Samantha [01:01:52]:
But a few people did weigh in and agreed with me about eggnog. There was Anne. There was. There was Cindy. There's Julie. There was Haley. There was Melody. Melody's son makes it from scratch.

Samantha [01:02:02]:
Go, Melody's son. Yeah.

Lisa [01:02:04]:
Awesome. Way to put in the effort. Melody son.

Samantha [01:02:07]:
Excellent. And Karen. Karen loved it, too. However, there was a few that stood out that disliked it intensely.

Lisa [01:02:14]:
Totally. Right?

Samantha [01:02:15]:
Laura had a meme that said she was going to go to. She was going to puke. And I'm like, well, that seems extreme, Laura.

Lisa [01:02:20]:
Not extreme. I agreed with that. I'm like, thumbs up.

Samantha [01:02:23]:
Dwayne was all. Dwayne was also a no. And Stephanie used a cat meme flipping up its fupa saying no. And I'm like, that seemed really rude.

Lisa [01:02:32]:
Flipping appropriate to me. But then it got me thinking. I wonder how they would feel about eggnog. Eggnog in cake and eggnog Doritos. I saw a post for Eggnog Doritos.

Samantha [01:02:45]:
I don't understand eggnog Doritos.

Lisa [01:02:48]:
I don't understand either of it. Cindy Carter said she would eat anything cooked with eggnog.

Samantha [01:02:53]:
I think eggnog cakes probably would taste really good.

Lisa [01:02:56]:
Ew.

Samantha [01:02:57]:
But I don't know why you would want powdered whatever it is on your Dorito.

Lisa [01:03:03]:
On your Dorito. Like, eggnog dust.

Samantha [01:03:06]:
It seems odd.

Lisa [01:03:07]:
Seems disgusting, right?

Samantha [01:03:09]:
Like, I can't imagine how a taco chip tastes good with eggnog.

Lisa [01:03:15]:
It doesn't sound right.

Samantha [01:03:17]:
Like, are you dipping that in something? Like, are you wrong Salsa or cheddar cheese?

Lisa [01:03:23]:
Like, are you licking it up? Imagine licking your picture nog.

Samantha [01:03:29]:
And then should a Dorito be sweet?

Lisa [01:03:33]:
I don't know. I don't know. Yeah.

Samantha [01:03:36]:
Like, it's hard to think of that as a. Like, I love eggnog, and I'll take it in, like, cookie form, cake form, you know, whatever you got going on. But because it should be sweet, but not. But not in a savory.

Lisa [01:03:50]:
I'm taking it. No way. Because not eating it. Either way.

Samantha [01:03:55]:
Like, you think you're gonna change people's minds when you talk about eggnog every year, and it's like, no, you're not, Lisa. Well, I like it, or people hate it for their own very good reasons.

Lisa [01:04:04]:
One day, maybe I will have swayed somebody or somebody will have had a. Had. Had a rotten glass of eggnog, and they'll be like, next year, Team Lisa.

Samantha [01:04:13]:
Okay, so how would you sway someone to dislike eggnog? Like, you?

Lisa [01:04:17]:
Maybe they outgrew it.

Samantha [01:04:18]:
How are you building your canes for that?

Lisa [01:04:20]:
Have you never, ever had something that you just don't? Oh, yeah. Hi, Ms. Balsamic Vinegar. You loved balsamic vinegar. And then you just one Day. Hated it. Same type of thing. That's what I'm looking for.

Lisa [01:04:31]:
That same type of thing. I love eggnog. Tried it one day and what did they do? Samantha. That's what I'm looking for. That's the sway, right? Because you hated balsamic vinegar for no reason. No.

Samantha [01:04:45]:
You know what it is? I don't mind balsamic and olive oil mixed together and you dip your bread in. That's totally fine. It's when I see balsamic on like, like a sandwich or like, like. Or over tomato and mozzarella, and I'm just like, get that shit off of there.

Lisa [01:05:03]:
The salad dressing, delightful. Right. But you used to. And then one day you just pulled the rug out.

Samantha [01:05:09]:
Yeah.

Lisa [01:05:10]:
Don't like it. Right. So that's what I'm hoping for. Your theory. Your theory.

Samantha [01:05:16]:
Right, that's my theory. Okay.

Lisa [01:05:19]:
That's your theory. Right. That's Samantha.

Samantha [01:05:23]:
Okay. So apparently, apparently on the TikTok, God bless it, people are getting upset about North American, all the North American airlines, because they're going to make you pay for your carry on. They're making it a bit of a hassle.

Lisa [01:05:40]:
They're doing it in Canada, they're doing it in the States.

Samantha [01:05:42]:
Oh, my God. They're doing in Canada, too.

Lisa [01:05:45]:
Yeah. People are mad.

Samantha [01:05:46]:
It's gotten out of control.

Lisa [01:05:48]:
Yeah. But here's the thing, right? Who's to blame for it? Is it the airlines or is it the people? No, it's the people, but it's kind of. Okay. Okay, but let's, let's.

Samantha [01:05:56]:
Because you're allowed your carry on a bag and your purse, Right.

Lisa [01:06:01]:
And anybody that has a ticket can do that. So where the issue, I think, I feel comes in is that if you're traveling with your two kids who don't ever need a carry on, but now they got carry ons. Right. However, people started bringing carry ons because airlines were losing luggage.

Samantha [01:06:18]:
Right.

Lisa [01:06:19]:
So then we started bringing like, I never used to take a carry on until they started losing luggage. And then I'm like, oh, I need a carry on. But then now they claim that problem's better. So I'm fine not carrying. I'm fine with no carry on. You know what it is? It's the hassle is the hassle is with the carry on because the lineups get bigger to go through security because everybody's stuff's got to get looked through.

Samantha [01:06:44]:
Yep.

Lisa [01:06:45]:
And then when you get on the plane, right. Your carry on, remember, remember, you automatically used to know it would go where your Seat was. And now that's not the case.

Samantha [01:06:54]:
When I was flying back from Toronto in the summer, right.

Lisa [01:06:58]:
You had that.

Samantha [01:07:00]:
My seat was here, my bag was down here.

Lisa [01:07:02]:
Right, exactly.

Samantha [01:07:04]:
And I'm like, why?

Lisa [01:07:05]:
Right. Why? Unless you were like, me and you take your carry on and then you wait till they say the plane is full. Who wants to check their carry on for free?

Samantha [01:07:14]:
It is. It is the people who misuse the carry on.

Lisa [01:07:18]:
Right? We've abused it. Now they're taking it away.

Samantha [01:07:20]:
Because when I tried to fit my suitcase around where I was seating, sitting, somebody's backpack or bag was up there. And that's a. No, no. You stuff that underneath your seat.

Lisa [01:07:32]:
People don't want to put stuff under their seats.

Samantha [01:07:33]:
They don't want to put stuff. And I'm. And I. And I. And like, the stewardess was not. The airline person was not helping me. And I said, ma'am, like, that bag shouldn't be there. And she's like, you're carrying that much stuff.

Samantha [01:07:46]:
And I said to her, I said, gonna move it. It's not. I'm not touching it. It's not my. Yeah, it's not my.

Lisa [01:07:53]:
But that's the thing, right? Like, because you're right. They don't put the backpacks under the seat.

Samantha [01:07:57]:
And they're not. Why.

Lisa [01:07:59]:
I don't want to be uncomfortable. Be uncomfortable.

Samantha [01:08:01]:
Be uncomfortable. I don't care.

Lisa [01:08:02]:
Don't take it.

Samantha [01:08:03]:
Don't take five things with you. Backpack, carry on.

Lisa [01:08:06]:
Right. So now we're all being penalized, huh? We're all going to be paying a hefty bill. So flying will be cheap. Getting your luggage to where you're trying to get to is the expense.

Samantha [01:08:15]:
I already pay for my luggage.

Lisa [01:08:17]:
Right, right. But there are some fares now that say carry on not included. No carry on allowed unless you pay.

Samantha [01:08:27]:
Unless you pay the money.

Lisa [01:08:29]:
Right? So I'm just saying. Right.

Samantha [01:08:30]:
That sucks, man.

Lisa [01:08:31]:
Not gonna be good.

Samantha [01:08:32]:
Way to go, people who screwed it up for the rest of us.

Lisa [01:08:35]:
Yeah, way to go. That's what just takes one, asshole.

Samantha [01:08:37]:
Well, it took a few.

Lisa [01:08:39]:
Well. And they all follow suit, right? Then there's just. Out there. I gotta. I wouldn't be the holidays if I didn't discuss this. Samantha, do you remember the time kidnapped my family recipe?

Samantha [01:08:52]:
I didn't kidnap it, remember?

Lisa [01:08:54]:
So my question, friends of the podcast, Are our recipe books becoming a thing of the past? Because has the Internet killed traditions? No, it has.

Samantha [01:09:05]:
No, it has not.

Lisa [01:09:06]:
I don't know. I had a recipe book and it was missing forever. It was my mom's. My deceased mom's recipe book. And Sam stole it.

Samantha [01:09:15]:
No, I stole it.

Lisa [01:09:17]:
And she kept it for seven years and then forgot that it was mine and then gave it to her mom.

Samantha [01:09:22]:
Yeah. No, because I knew who. I knew. I knew who it was. And then my mom was like, I want to look at it. And I'm like, okay, you can look at it. But eventually, we got to give it to Lisa, because it's hers and it's.

Lisa [01:09:32]:
Been missing for 15 years.

Samantha [01:09:34]:
It was in my trunk because, I don't know, you were too lazy to carry the bag that held it. And you're like, just leave it in the trunk. I'll get it later. And then it sat there, and it sat there, and it sat there because it's not my to worry about. And then I'm like, why is this still in my trunk? And I'm like, fine, I'll put it in my apartment. And then it just sat there, and I'm like, why do I. And I even forgot I had it, right?

Lisa [01:10:00]:
And then what would happen, Friends of the podcast is certain occasions, my father would send me a message, hey, you sure you don't have that recipe book at Mom's? Because remember that great barbecue sauce she used to make? Dad, I don't even fucking cook. No, I don't have the recipe book. Kid's sister, hey, mom used to make a really good honey glaze. You don't have the recipe book?

Samantha [01:10:20]:
Why would I.

Lisa [01:10:21]:
Why would I have.

Samantha [01:10:22]:
And who has the book now?

Lisa [01:10:24]:
Right now I've given it to my sister.

Samantha [01:10:26]:
Right? It's in. It's in the right place where it's supposed to be, right?

Lisa [01:10:30]:
But then what happened? It just kind of went forgotten. And a few years back, Sam's mom made some cookies for me at Christmas time, and she said. Because she made the. She said, and I made you something special. And I'm like, oh, that's nice. What did you make? She goes, something from your mom's recipe book. And I was like, oh. And then all of a sudden, I'm like, whoa, recipe book? What you talking about, Sheila?

Samantha [01:10:56]:
And I was gonna. I gave it back to you at Christmas.

Lisa [01:10:59]:
Yeah, you did, right?

Samantha [01:11:01]:
She made you a ginger cake that was in your mom's recipe book, right?

Lisa [01:11:05]:
Yeah, that I forgot was in her recipe book because I hadn't seen it in 20 years. Just saying, right?

Samantha [01:11:11]:
I feel like, Lisa, everybody. Even though you think that everything's falling for. Because it's only you who thinks that. Because if you think it. It Must be true.

Lisa [01:11:22]:
Must be true.

Samantha [01:11:23]:
Not that you have any evidence, right? None whatsoever.

Lisa [01:11:26]:
But it must be true.

Samantha [01:11:27]:
People are still buying cookbooks.

Lisa [01:11:29]:
I don't know if they are right. I don't really know if we're back, if we're in our company's coming stages still.

Samantha [01:11:33]:
No, they may not be buying that, but they're buying the fancy. Cool looking.

Lisa [01:11:38]:
You think? As opposed to just looking it up. Like beef tenderloin online.

Samantha [01:11:41]:
Yep, pretty much Tenderloin.

Lisa [01:11:43]:
I don't know. Does beef have a tenderloin?

Samantha [01:11:45]:
I don't. Yes, it does.

Lisa [01:11:47]:
I don't know. I don't know. I'm just saying. It's just my opinion.

Samantha [01:11:50]:
Okay.

Lisa [01:11:50]:
All right. I'm allowed to have it.

Samantha [01:11:52]:
Not much of a chef if you don't know what a beef tenderloin is.

Lisa [01:11:55]:
Hey, I've moved on. I haven't been chefing for a while. I'm renovating now. Thank you.

Samantha [01:12:02]:
Yeah, I can't wait. All right.

Lisa [01:12:05]:
Yeah.
