Tastes Like Taint, Gyno Prep & GenX Survival

 

Lisa [00:00:06]:
I'm on the lookout for a new descriptive words in 2025, Samantha and I finally found my first one. You ready for the example? Do you ever eat pork and think, hmm, that tastes like taint? Taint, Tate.

Samantha [00:00:26]:
Taint as in tainted?

Lisa [00:00:28]:
As in taint. Two different words. Taint. I ate some pork and it tasted like taint.

Samantha [00:00:37]:
Please provide a definition.

Lisa [00:00:40]:
The definition of taint is the area on a man's body between his anus and his scrotum.

Samantha [00:00:51]:
Oh, my God. Why would you use that word?

Lisa [00:00:56]:
I didn't. I heard that word and I'm like, what the hell does that word mean? Because I didn't know the definition. You and I are the only people in the whole wide world, I think, that don't know the definition of the world. And I didn't know it either. So I googled it and I was like, taint.

Samantha [00:01:11]:
You did not need to share that with me.

Lisa [00:01:14]:
I did because it's descriptive, so it fits in my categories of newfound words.

Samantha [00:01:18]:
The taste between the butthole and the balls.

Lisa [00:01:23]:
The area.

Samantha [00:01:24]:
The area between the two.

Lisa [00:01:27]:
So if I was. If we were in a spelling bee and I was putting it into a sentence, I would say, do you ever eat pork and think that it tastes like taint?

Samantha [00:01:38]:
Oh, please don't ever use that in public when I am around.

Lisa [00:01:43]:
Are you kidding me?

Samantha [00:01:44]:
I will leave you. I will. I will make you. Like, I will disappear like a fucking magician.

Lisa [00:01:52]:
No way.

Samantha [00:01:52]:
Grab it out of action.

Lisa [00:01:53]:
No way. Now that we know the word and its meaning and how just descriptive it really is, I'm going to just randomly drop it into sentences. Like, here's my first sentence, right? No. Hopefully 2025 doesn't taste like taint.

Samantha [00:02:05]:
No, please don't do that. Oh, my.

Lisa [00:02:14]:
You know what?

Samantha [00:02:15]:
I make fun of you because you. You think you don't know big words, but you really do. But I really hate it when you learn, because now you'll just overuse it in everything, right?

Lisa [00:02:26]:
I always knew I didn't like mushrooms. Couldn't put my finger on it. Oh, that's right, because it tastes like taint.

Samantha [00:02:34]:
You're so gross.

Lisa [00:02:36]:
It is so gross.

Samantha [00:02:38]:
You are gross.

Lisa [00:02:39]:
It's totally disgusting.

Samantha [00:02:41]:
You're disgusting.

Lisa [00:02:43]:
I'm disgusting. The word's disgusting. It's all disgusting.

Samantha [00:02:46]:
Why would you want to use that word?

Lisa [00:02:48]:
Like God invented that word. Put it in the Google.

Samantha [00:02:50]:
God did not invent that word. Man invented that word.

Lisa [00:02:54]:
God's got to say in everything.

Samantha [00:02:55]:
God does not have any say in how words God invented.

Lisa [00:02:58]:
The person who made that word and put it in the Google. It all links back to God. Everything links.

Samantha [00:03:03]:
A lot of putting a lot of eggs in one basket.

Lisa [00:03:06]:
Hey, here's my God basket. And here's the eggs. Somehow I can tie it all back to that bad boy.

Samantha [00:03:13]:
Okay, please do. We need to bring God into every conversation that we have.

Lisa [00:03:18]:
That's pretty cool.

Samantha [00:03:19]:
At some point, we're gonna get struck by lightning, right?

Lisa [00:03:22]:
I know.

Samantha [00:03:23]:
I don't need that in my life.

Lisa [00:03:24]:
I'm just saying I hope doesn't taste like taint.

Samantha [00:03:27]:
Okay. Yeah. Please stop using that word.

Lisa [00:03:30]:
It's not my new favorite word.

Samantha [00:03:31]:
No.

Lisa [00:03:31]:
Just gonna randomly drop it into place.

Samantha [00:03:33]:
No, please don't.

Lisa [00:03:34]:
When you least expect it, there'll be, like, a taint over here and a taint over there. Here a taint, there a Tate. Everywhere a taint. Taint between the scrotum and the anus.

Samantha [00:03:46]:
Don't. Yes.

Lisa [00:03:47]:
Thank you.

Samantha [00:03:48]:
Thank you for sharing. Thank you for sharing.

Lisa [00:03:52]:
Oh, I couldn't resist. I didn't resist.

Samantha [00:03:54]:
I didn't know what it was either.

Lisa [00:03:56]:
And then I'm like, oh, doesn't that apply to a lot of things?

Samantha [00:04:00]:
On behalf of friends of the podcast, you suck.

Lisa [00:04:03]:
Sorry, Friends of the podcast.

Samantha [00:04:10]:
Oh, and this is how we start our last episode of 2024.

Lisa [00:04:15]:
Right. Which is really 2025 by the time you listen to it. So we're kind of on the cusp. We're on the cusp.

Samantha [00:04:22]:
We are always on the cusp, Lisa. So let's just get it started, shall we?

Lisa [00:04:27]:
Hello, friends of the podcast.

Samantha [00:04:30]:
Hello, everybody.

Lisa [00:04:31]:
Samantha. Let's wish everybody a happy New Year's. Unlike what we did the last time, Right?

Samantha [00:04:35]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:04:36]:
We forgot where we tainted them and left them out.

Samantha [00:04:40]:
That's. That's not the appropriate use of that word.

Lisa [00:04:43]:
Bad. Really bad.

Samantha [00:04:44]:
Not the appropriate use of that word.

Lisa [00:04:46]:
Not appropriate.

Samantha [00:04:48]:
That word's not appropriate, full stop.

Lisa [00:04:50]:
But it's descriptive.

Samantha [00:04:52]:
Stop.

Lisa [00:04:52]:
But it's descriptive.

Samantha [00:04:53]:
It's just wrong.

Lisa [00:04:54]:
It's funny.

Samantha [00:04:55]:
No, it's not.

Lisa [00:04:56]:
A little bit funny?

Samantha [00:04:57]:
No, not really.

Lisa [00:04:58]:
In a horrific kind of way.

Samantha [00:05:00]:
In a very horrific, right way.

Lisa [00:05:03]:
We're mixing up our humor a bit in 2025.

Samantha [00:05:06]:
You're getting gross. This is not new.

Lisa [00:05:08]:
We're bringing out the nasty if we need to. Whatever. It's a word. It's in the dictionary. It's in the Google. It's out there for people to use.

Samantha [00:05:17]:
I know, but do we have to? Is it necessary? Should we.

Lisa [00:05:20]:
No, if. That's my new advice for 2025. To find new descriptive words. I feel I hit that one out of the park.

Samantha [00:05:26]:
I feel like you could find different ones.

Lisa [00:05:28]:
That one seemed to fit how I felt about pork.

Samantha [00:05:30]:
Well, that's unfortunate.

Lisa [00:05:31]:
Yeah, tasted like taint.

Samantha [00:05:34]:
All right. Okay. Well, I can't wait to find out about more because apparently we're talking about the differences between generations. You've got advice about going down there for that appointment, and I'm like, I don't even want to know what that's about. And apparently we're talking about a woman who cussed out our pm. Like, hi, there's a lot to talk about right now.

Lisa [00:05:53]:
Right? We got a lot to unpack here, Samantha. A lot to unpack. But you know what the first thing I need to unpack is? I gotta shake my head. I am shaking my head. At me. I bought this big box of crackers. You know, the saltines? The big box. The ones that had the four sleeves?

Samantha [00:06:10]:
Yeah. Lisa, please explain that. Dumb it down for us, shall you?

Lisa [00:06:14]:
Right. I bought the four sleeve box because I had myself convinced I love soup. I'm going to have some lots and lots of soup. So I bought the big box and I'm going to have peanut butter on the crackers and butter on the crackers for snack. Now, it's literally four weeks before that big box expires. I'm not even through one sleeve yet, and I'm feeling panicked.

Samantha [00:06:37]:
I'm surprised you haven't thrown them out already.

Lisa [00:06:39]:
Oh, I can't. I know, right? I can't.

Samantha [00:06:44]:
But you're so close though, aren't you?

Lisa [00:06:47]:
Yeah, I might start pretending I'm gonna take them to work. Snacks at my desk. And then not just start chucking them into the garbage can every day. One, sleep gone. Two, sleep gone. Three, sleep gone.

Samantha [00:07:00]:
You're so sad. You have such a weird thing about due dates.

Lisa [00:07:04]:
Hi. It's crackers. They're gonna get stale.

Samantha [00:07:06]:
Yes, they are.

Lisa [00:07:07]:
So, hi. And then you know what that means. How do you think that's going to taste?

Samantha [00:07:11]:
It's also processed. It's also processed. Right.

Lisa [00:07:13]:
How are stale crackers going to taste, Samantha?

Samantha [00:07:16]:
No, don't. Not every time do you need to use that word to describe something. It's not the smell or the taste. Between the scrotum and the anus. Okay, like, just stop.

Lisa [00:07:31]:
Friends of the podcast. You let your crackers get too stale. They're going to taste taint.

Samantha [00:07:39]:
Stop it.

Lisa [00:07:41]:
I'll do my best.

Samantha [00:07:42]:
No, you won't.

Lisa [00:07:43]:
You found.

Samantha [00:07:44]:
You've yet found a fun new word to use that you think is Hilarious. That will just close out the rest of the world.

Lisa [00:07:52]:
At first I was kind of grossed out, and then I learned to embrace it. That's all.

Samantha [00:07:57]:
Like the creep you are.

Lisa [00:07:58]:
Like the creep I am.

Samantha [00:08:01]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:08:03]:
That's what I'm shaking my head at. I'm shaking my head at me.

Samantha [00:08:05]:
Well, you get. You know what I'm shaking my head at? Shaking my head at the weird period between Christmas and New Year's because I'm like, what do we do now? Who am I? And what day is it?

Lisa [00:08:17]:
What time you, you take vacation? I try to, but I don't. But I want to, but I didn't. And now it's like, it, I'll do better next year. It's a confusing time period.

Samantha [00:08:33]:
It is a very confusing. And I shake my head because I, you know, we should be able to fill those days with joyfulness and, you know, something useful. I don't know.

Lisa [00:08:43]:
You know how I best define those days? As like, being in the airport. You can do anything. You can run amok, you can eat sho food, you can drink all day long. You can do whatever you want. It's like airport rules. Oh, my God, totally. Airport rules.

Samantha [00:09:01]:
You can drink at 8am you can, you can have eggs at 10pm I'll.

Lisa [00:09:06]:
Have some French fries for breakfast because that's all you serve. I get it. Right? I'm at the, I'm at the sports bar.

Samantha [00:09:15]:
That's.

Lisa [00:09:16]:
That's what it is. It's like the time. It's like, it's airport rules.

Samantha [00:09:20]:
Exactly. And that's, you know, really, that's your perfect time. Because then you could probably find someplace that'll give you a glass of wine at 8 o'clock in the morning.

Lisa [00:09:26]:
And at the airport, there's no judgment, right?

Samantha [00:09:29]:
No.

Lisa [00:09:30]:
Thou shalt not judge.

Samantha [00:09:31]:
And you can be in your sweats, so it's totally okay.

Lisa [00:09:33]:
And you could also be in your sweats. Right. So really, maybe the airport is better than Disneyland for adults.

Samantha [00:09:39]:
It might be.

Lisa [00:09:40]:
Right? It's like, it's just a little bit more expensive than the Walmart, probably. And it serves alcohol.

Samantha [00:09:46]:
And it serves alcohol.

Lisa [00:09:47]:
Dress code. Same dress code.

Samantha [00:09:50]:
And really, you can pretty much get whatever you want at the airport.

Lisa [00:09:53]:
Yeah, you can, you can.

Samantha [00:09:54]:
Like there's, there's shopping, there's bookstores, there's lots to do. There's just everything, right?

Lisa [00:10:01]:
There's lots and lots to do. Yeah, but you can't gamble. You can't play the lottery too early.

Samantha [00:10:07]:
No.

Lisa [00:10:08]:
Right. They, they look down on that. They frown upon, they frown upon. But I got some. I got some resolutions.

Samantha [00:10:16]:
No, don't start.

Lisa [00:10:17]:
Yeah, I do. I do. And. And. And, you know. And they're repurposed. They're repurposed.

Samantha [00:10:23]:
I'm sure they are.

Lisa [00:10:24]:
I came across them because I've been, you know, soul searching. Because it's that time of year and. Right. Been in deep thought. Soul search. Searching my soul. Yeah. And I thought, you know what? I'm going to repurpose these ones because I think that.

Lisa [00:10:39]:
I think that they're smart and I think that I think I can do it. Okay, so, number one, I'm giving up popsicles.

Samantha [00:10:47]:
Of course you are. It's winter.

Lisa [00:10:49]:
Anytime. I won't even have them in the summer. Not a Popsicle. Popsicle. I'm talking like the ones on a stick.

Samantha [00:10:55]:
Yeah, yeah.

Lisa [00:10:56]:
I don't eat those. I don't eat a popsicle on a stick. I'm not going to do that. Number two, no potato salad in the winter. I'm not doing it.

Samantha [00:11:03]:
You don't ever do that. It's seasonal food.

Lisa [00:11:06]:
I'm not doing it. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not secretly bringing it back to kick it out.

Samantha [00:11:11]:
Okay.

Lisa [00:11:12]:
Right. I'm keeping it out.

Samantha [00:11:13]:
Your resolutions are going to be fairly.

Lisa [00:11:16]:
Attainable because you already do. I deserve to feel good about myself.

Samantha [00:11:20]:
Because you already do them.

Lisa [00:11:21]:
Because I feel. Deserve to feel good about myself. Okay, number three, no pasta in the summer.

Samantha [00:11:26]:
You don't.

Lisa [00:11:27]:
Not having spaghetti.

Samantha [00:11:29]:
You never do.

Lisa [00:11:30]:
I won't do it.

Samantha [00:11:31]:
And you never do.

Lisa [00:11:32]:
Right. I'm not going to eat cottage cheese. I think it's an ugly food.

Samantha [00:11:35]:
And you never have easy.

Lisa [00:11:38]:
Right. And I'm sticking with my no bread bowls.

Samantha [00:11:41]:
You don't ever eat a bread bowl.

Lisa [00:11:44]:
So how good should I feel about myself at the end of this year? I should feel so, so good. Right.

Samantha [00:11:50]:
I hope that people listening to this, the friends of the podcast, are not going, yes, Lisa, you've got this. You've got guys. She already does this. She already does all of them. That's not fair.

Lisa [00:12:01]:
It's fair.

Samantha [00:12:02]:
No, it's not.

Lisa [00:12:03]:
I'm going to excel the days where I kind of waver and think, oh, man, what could I eat right now? Potato salad. I'm going to be like, no, Stay firm.

Samantha [00:12:12]:
No, don't do it.

Lisa [00:12:13]:
Don't you dare.

Samantha [00:12:14]:
You would never eat potato salad in the winter. I would never. You never eat pasta.

Lisa [00:12:18]:
Not in the summer.

Samantha [00:12:19]:
And you hate cottage cheese.

Lisa [00:12:21]:
I think I've never had it. I think it's an ugly food.

Samantha [00:12:23]:
I've never seen you eat a bread bowl, so I.

Lisa [00:12:26]:
Where do you even get a bread bowl anymore?

Samantha [00:12:29]:
Right?

Lisa [00:12:30]:
Right. Oh, you. Oh, well, I got this.

Samantha [00:12:34]:
Fine. Fine.

Lisa [00:12:36]:
Well, you go through life not even doing a resolution.

Samantha [00:12:38]:
No, because I don't believe in them.

Lisa [00:12:40]:
Cuz, you know you won't succeed mine.

Samantha [00:12:42]:
No, it's because if you have something that you want to achieve, it doesn't need to be done at the beginning of the year.

Lisa [00:12:47]:
I'm going to do mine all year. I'm going to stick to those all year long.

Samantha [00:12:50]:
All right, Go for it.

Lisa [00:12:51]:
Right. You mark my words. This winter, if you see me with potato salad, you slap my hand and you remind me. Hey, hey, hey, Lisa, remember resolution.

Samantha [00:13:00]:
I will get it on video slapping your hand.

Lisa [00:13:03]:
Thank you. And I'll. Oh, what was I thinking? Weak moment story. I am human. I'm only human. Yes. Okay. I'm just saying.

Lisa [00:13:11]:
So that's what I'm going to do. I got this.

Samantha [00:13:14]:
Okay.

Lisa [00:13:15]:
Me and 25.

Samantha [00:13:16]:
Yes. Okay. But you know what? We're going to do a little fun thing for you guys.

Lisa [00:13:21]:
Yeah.

Samantha [00:13:22]:
We've rounded up some of our funniest clips from 2024, and right now we're going to give you the joy of laughter that you've already heard. So here's just a little bit of something that we thought we should share with you.

Lisa [00:13:36]:
140 people paid the same person over $300,000 for fake tickets. We buying our tickets from Ticketmaster or are we getting them from Louise? And by the way, we don't know Louise. Louise lives someplace. We don't know. So there is kind of that.

Samantha [00:13:58]:
The only problem with you right now is, Lisa, is because you think you're not experiencing any menopausal symptoms, right? So you have zero as a woman. You have zero sympathy for the rest of us who actually experience these things.

Lisa [00:14:13]:
Don't talk to strangers. But there's Santa that does fly in.

Samantha [00:14:17]:
The face of all things.

Lisa [00:14:19]:
Right? Right here, kids.

Samantha [00:14:24]:
Don't be afraid of the guy with the big fuzzy on his face. And no, you don't know him. It's okay. It's Santa. Who the hell's Santa? I don't know. Some guy with a beard.

Lisa [00:14:34]:
Go sit on his knee and let him love you. Nothing says Happy New Year like repurposed comedy. Right?

Samantha [00:14:44]:
It says so much, Lisa.

Lisa [00:14:45]:
It says so much. Right? But these are some of our favorite points, Samantha. That's why we're doing them, too.

Samantha [00:14:50]:
This is why we're doing them.

Lisa [00:14:51]:
Okay, I got Some important shit to talk about here.

Samantha [00:14:54]:
All right?

Lisa [00:14:55]:
It's important. You touched on it at the beginning. You kind of made it sound like you were poo pooing it. Don't poop. I'm not.

Samantha [00:15:01]:
I don't poo poo.

Lisa [00:15:03]:
It sounded like you might have tried to poo poo, but you didn't poo poo. You stopped yourself from poo pooing. Okay, I want to discuss the difference between the generations and how they make their appearances at your house. Not your house, because nobody knows where your house is. Let's just say a random house. Okay, okay, okay, okay. So first off, right? You got your boomers. The boomers are going to turn up at your house completely unannounced, right? Anytime from 7:00 in the morning onwards, they're going to just knock on the door a little bit louder than the police would.

Lisa [00:15:36]:
Because they don't care, right? They think because they're up, you should be up too. Yeah, right. Like your mom and dad, right? Would they do that? Probably.

Samantha [00:15:45]:
Probably.

Lisa [00:15:46]:
Probably. Right, Then you got your Gen X, right?

Samantha [00:15:48]:
So this is us, right?

Lisa [00:15:51]:
We would have. So if we're going to somebody's house, we have plans that are made well in advance for this, right? We've checked a couple days ahead of time to make sure that the plans are still in place, they're still happening. Right. And we're still following through. Right? We don't want. We don't like change because our generation was worried that we were being forgotten. So we're going to be in your face. We still doing this? We still doing this.

Lisa [00:16:17]:
Like, we're going for supper on Friday. We're going for supper on Friday. We going for supper. Yes.

Samantha [00:16:20]:
Liza, I've answered you several times, Right?

Lisa [00:16:22]:
Right? These are the things. That's what a Gen X does.

Samantha [00:16:26]:
Right?

Lisa [00:16:27]:
Then we go to our millennial friends, right? They're going to have hoped that the plans would have been canceled. They don't want to come to your house. They don't want to come to your house. There's no real reason for a millennial, a millennial to ever show up at your home.

Samantha [00:16:40]:
Yeah, right.

Lisa [00:16:40]:
They're not coming, right? Gen Z, they'll never actually knock on your door, but chances are they're going to show up. But the reason they don't have to knock is because they've been documenting the whole entire journey, right? They've been letting you know, leaving now, text, right? Driving now, Facebook's or Snapchats or whatever. And chances are, when they get to the door. You don't even have to hear the doorbell because they've just sent you a picture of them at the door here. Right. But after I read all of that stuff, I was kind of confused because I feel like as though between me, you, and the hhg, we have a combination of these traits, I believe.

Samantha [00:17:24]:
Because I was just gonna say I'm kind of like the millennial.

Lisa [00:17:27]:
You're kind of like a millennial.

Samantha [00:17:28]:
I will have hoped that the plans would have been canceled.

Lisa [00:17:31]:
So is the hhg, right? Her best plans are canceled plans. Her best time of her life was Covid, right? She'll randomly text, remember Covid? With a sad face. I miss not being able to see. I miss when I couldn' when I wasn't allowed to see people. Right? She embraced Covid. She did, right? I'm definitely the, the, the follow up, follow up and keep.

Samantha [00:17:56]:
Oh, my God, you just drive me insane.

Lisa [00:17:58]:
But I also kind of can be the person if I'm going far distances, that I'm going to document that you're.

Samantha [00:18:05]:
The Gen Z, right?

Lisa [00:18:06]:
So when I go to see my sister, right, And I'm driving, I'll be like, in Kingston, picture of the Kingston sign. Like, like, like she cares, right? If she even sees it. Right?

Samantha [00:18:16]:
Oh, my God. I don't think we're boomers, though.

Lisa [00:18:19]:
I don't think we're boomers because I.

Samantha [00:18:21]:
Do not get up at 7 o'clock in the morning.

Lisa [00:18:23]:
No, but I could because I'm up and about. Like, say, like, if I knew where you lived.

Samantha [00:18:28]:
No, you will never be here at that time.

Lisa [00:18:29]:
But I probably could be, right? Because I'd go get my groceries, go get my hair cut early, and then.

Samantha [00:18:33]:
Be like, look, Sam.

Lisa [00:18:35]:
And I'd knock on your door saying I'd mix it all up and I'd pretend that you take a picture.

Samantha [00:18:40]:
I am not here.

Lisa [00:18:41]:
I'd knock. I'd knock on your door if I knew where you lived. I'd knock on your door, take a picture of me with Tim Hortons. Right?

Samantha [00:18:50]:
And this is why you're never going to know where I live.

Lisa [00:18:53]:
So you do porn. You'd be torn. You'd be like, oh, shit, we didn't have this planned.

Samantha [00:18:57]:
I do not need you to be at my house at 7:00 in the morning. Because I'd be like, in the morning.

Lisa [00:19:02]:
Because you'd be like, why are you here? I just got my haircut, was in the neighborhood that I'd swing by with coffee. No way to your heart. No. Right. So I just, so sometimes I just think that we, we, we, we blend. I think we're blended.

Samantha [00:19:16]:
I think we are, we're.

Lisa [00:19:18]:
I think we take the traits that we want. Right?

Samantha [00:19:20]:
Yeah. I just saw a tick tock where a young woman, she, I think she might have been millennial or Gen Z, who knows? And she just exclaimed that the Gen X is the worst generation. And I'm like, how are we the worst?

Lisa [00:19:34]:
Right.

Samantha [00:19:35]:
We survived everything. Much everything. You should be thankful we're alive to teach you how to survive if you don't have power.

Lisa [00:19:44]:
Right? We learned.

Samantha [00:19:45]:
We know how to do that.

Lisa [00:19:47]:
We took typing.

Samantha [00:19:48]:
We took typing. We know how to, we know how to like make a fire without, like tools.

Lisa [00:19:54]:
Right? We, we can, we can crawl out a bedroom window and not get caught.

Samantha [00:19:59]:
We could hotwire a car.

Lisa [00:20:01]:
Piece of cake, right? You can do all these things, right?

Samantha [00:20:05]:
We can do, we can like get in and out and nobody notices us.

Lisa [00:20:09]:
Nobody knows. Right? Nobody.

Samantha [00:20:11]:
Come on.

Lisa [00:20:12]:
Right?

Samantha [00:20:13]:
How are we the worst?

Lisa [00:20:14]:
We're not the worst. You know what it is? It's because we're vocal. Right. And we're sassy.

Samantha [00:20:20]:
Yeah. But apparently we're the generation that doesn't give a. And I'm like, well, it depends what it is. You would need to really make me convinced that I need to give a. Yeah.

Lisa [00:20:28]:
Because most things we don't give a.

Samantha [00:20:29]:
About, there's a lot.

Lisa [00:20:31]:
It's like, shut up, I don't care. Right. Shut up. I don't care. Right.

Samantha [00:20:36]:
I don't need to know everything.

Lisa [00:20:38]:
You know what I love with the younger generation? I love how they think that because, because they feel that they know everything. Yeah. I love how they try to explain, like say if they're sick or something. I remember working and, and somebody had said that so past working life, and somebody had said that their mom caught pneumonia and. And was really, really sick. And I'm like, oh, that's not good. She's like, I caught it too. But you can't.

Lisa [00:21:01]:
But you can't. Right? But you can't. Right? And, and she was like, and I have a bad. And my nose is running and I've thrown up six times. Okay, so now you're lumping every single thing into not coming into your shift.

Samantha [00:21:12]:
That's not pneumonia. That's called the flu.

Lisa [00:21:14]:
Right. That's the flu or the food poisoning or something else. Right. I, I'm not discrediting your poor mom. I'm sorry. She has pneumonia. You get to work. I, I don't care.

Lisa [00:21:26]:
Right?

Samantha [00:21:27]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:21:28]:
Because what happened when we took a sick day at school, if I said to my mom, you know what? I don't feel good. I think I need to stay home, she'd be like, yeah, no problem. Go lie. Go. Go lie on the couch. And all of a sudden she'd pick up the phone and she'd fake phone the doctor. She'd be like, yeah. Do you have time to see Lisa today? Oh, I'm going, going, going to school.

Samantha [00:21:44]:
I'll be fine.

Lisa [00:21:45]:
I'm dying, but I'm going to go to school.

Samantha [00:21:49]:
Oh, yeah. Those were the days. Yeah.

Lisa [00:21:53]:
Sometimes you could get away with it if you came home at lunch and faked sick because nobody was home.

Samantha [00:21:57]:
Nobody was home.

Lisa [00:21:58]:
Nobody was home. Yeah.

Samantha [00:22:00]:
I don't know.

Lisa [00:22:00]:
Hi, this is Mrs. McIntyre. Are you sure? This is Mrs. McIntyre or, or, or, or. Or. Because she sounds different. Oh, gonna go to school. Right.

Samantha [00:22:10]:
I think people need to remember the Gen X people. We survive without cell phones.

Lisa [00:22:16]:
Totally.

Samantha [00:22:17]:
We just had a rotary phone. We had the phones in our house.

Lisa [00:22:20]:
We didn't know where you were 24 7.

Samantha [00:22:22]:
We still managed to meet each other all the time. Hang out, get into trouble.

Lisa [00:22:26]:
Get into trouble.

Samantha [00:22:27]:
Nobody knew the trouble we got into.

Lisa [00:22:28]:
Right, Right. It wasn't. It wasn't recorded.

Samantha [00:22:30]:
Come home. Right.

Lisa [00:22:31]:
It wasn't recorded. Nobody knew that we were sleeping in the ditch.

Samantha [00:22:35]:
Nobody knew we were at a bush party.

Lisa [00:22:37]:
Nobody knew we were at Patty Hooches. Right. Nobody knew there wasn't a Patty Hooch. Nobody knew that she didn't. That her parents didn't exist and you were just talking to my friends. Nobody knew that back then.

Samantha [00:22:47]:
Nobody knew that.

Lisa [00:22:48]:
Right. It was. It was an innocent time.

Samantha [00:22:51]:
Yes. It was fun.

Lisa [00:22:52]:
That was the difference.

Samantha [00:22:55]:
No photographic evidence.

Lisa [00:22:57]:
Right? Right. So really it was just hearsay.

Samantha [00:23:01]:
Totally.

Lisa [00:23:02]:
Right. Now I'd be busted. Now I'd be like, oh, my mom would be like, really? Because this isn't you.

Samantha [00:23:08]:
Yeah. You're all over the place now.

Lisa [00:23:10]:
I would be so screwed. I'd be. I'd be serving time.

Samantha [00:23:15]:
Oh, my God. Totally. Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:23:18]:
Yeah.

Samantha [00:23:18]:
We would not be friends. My mother would be like, lisa's a bad influence, Samantha. I don't really feel that this is a good friend for you.

Lisa [00:23:23]:
This is what every mother said. Every mother said about me is, you know what? She. She comes from a good family. She's so polite, but somehow trouble always seems to find her.

Samantha [00:23:34]:
Because Lisa likes trouble.

Lisa [00:23:39]:
Oh, yeah. That doesn't change.

Samantha [00:23:42]:
No, it does not. Well, playing with my. Playing family games. I did that over the holidays because my sister was down for a few days.

Lisa [00:23:51]:
Yeah.

Samantha [00:23:51]:
And we played games. And I realized that I am not. I am no longer coordinated.

Lisa [00:23:57]:
Were you ever coordinated?

Samantha [00:23:58]:
No, I was at one time. And all I thought was, is this a sign of things to come? Like, what do I need to do to be more. To have more dexterity?

Lisa [00:24:08]:
Like, what were you doing, playing Family Twister or something?

Samantha [00:24:11]:
Well, we were like, Linea, God bless her. She came up really fun games. And there was like. You had cups and there was. You had to get one cup to the other end. And I'm, like, not moving very fast. And then there was one with balls. You had to get them in a hole, and you had a partner.

Samantha [00:24:26]:
And I'm just like, I didn't do that very well. And there was a memory game, and I'm like, I'm.

Lisa [00:24:33]:
Sounds like she was there to get you.

Samantha [00:24:36]:
And then there was, like, bouncing a balloon and then scooping stuff into, like, a thing. And I'm just like, I can't do this. I'm not coordinating.

Lisa [00:24:43]:
And you claim that at one time you could.

Samantha [00:24:45]:
Yeah, yeah. I used to be coordinated a long, long time ago.

Lisa [00:24:47]:
Well, I never was. I never was. So it could be a sign of things to come.

Samantha [00:24:52]:
It could be a sign I could, like.

Lisa [00:24:54]:
You are, like, closer to 60 than 50.

Samantha [00:24:57]:
Well, this is true.

Lisa [00:24:58]:
Right.

Samantha [00:24:58]:
So are you, by the way?

Lisa [00:24:59]:
Not quite.

Samantha [00:25:00]:
Yes, you are.

Lisa [00:25:01]:
I'm still in the middle. Still in the middle. I'm like, on Wednesday of 55. Right. I'm on the hump. That's right.

Samantha [00:25:08]:
You're on the Wednesday. Okay.

Lisa [00:25:09]:
Right. January 1st is my half birthday. Thank you very much. Oh, that's when I cross over. That's when I cross over, Samantha. So I don't know. Maybe. I don't know.

Lisa [00:25:19]:
How do you get. How do you. I don't know how you practice those things.

Samantha [00:25:22]:
I just. I just. Playing these games. I was like, one. I was like, I don't know how competitive I am. I was just having fun.

Lisa [00:25:28]:
Yeah.

Samantha [00:25:28]:
But I was watching my nephew, my sister's son, and he's the oldest of the nephews that I have.

Lisa [00:25:36]:
Right.

Samantha [00:25:37]:
And he did this the memory cup game thing and moving it from one corner to the next. And every time he did it, he got faster. And I'm like, I couldn't do that. I wouldn't get faster. I would probably get slower.

Lisa [00:25:48]:
He's 25 years younger than you.

Samantha [00:25:50]:
Well, he is only 20.

Lisa [00:25:51]:
He's quite a bit younger. Right. Cut yourself some slack, my friend. Right. Cut yourself some slack.

Samantha [00:25:56]:
But I was just like, okay, fun times.

Lisa [00:25:59]:
I think our coordination goes like, try and stand on one foot. See how much of a hot shot you feel like.

Samantha [00:26:03]:
Oh, well, yeah, right? Yeah.

Lisa [00:26:05]:
And when you're still standing to put your pants on. I totally sit down to put my pants on, girl.

Samantha [00:26:10]:
No, I still stand. I still try to force.

Lisa [00:26:12]:
What about to take them off?

Samantha [00:26:14]:
Sometimes I have to sit.

Lisa [00:26:15]:
Right. It's hard to step on the corner of that. Of that pant leg and try and.

Samantha [00:26:22]:
Get your foot out.

Lisa [00:26:23]:
Right.

Samantha [00:26:23]:
That's tough now.

Lisa [00:26:24]:
It's tough now, but. Okay, so. Because you kind of talked a little bit about the holidays, right? I want to talk about. I want to delve into this crazy tradition. I don't know if it's a Gen X tradition. I don't know if it's still around. We didn't have it this year. Thank God.

Lisa [00:26:40]:
People wearing paper Christmas hats. Remember the crackers?

Samantha [00:26:44]:
Yeah, we had them this year.

Lisa [00:26:45]:
You had the crackers. You wore the hats.

Samantha [00:26:47]:
No, I destroyed my hat.

Lisa [00:26:49]:
Wouldn't it fit your head? Did you destroy it putting it on?

Samantha [00:26:52]:
I destroyed.

Lisa [00:26:53]:
Did it rip apart?

Samantha [00:26:54]:
No, I ripped it apart.

Lisa [00:26:56]:
Did you do it on purpose?

Samantha [00:26:57]:
Oh, darn it. It's ripped.

Lisa [00:26:59]:
Right? Because this is what I think, right? So. So they were like the big deal back in our day.

Samantha [00:27:04]:
Yes. It's a very British thing.

Lisa [00:27:07]:
Is that what it is?

Samantha [00:27:08]:
It's a very British thing.

Lisa [00:27:09]:
All I know is that some of the classiest women I ever knew dawned on those paper hats, read that stupid joke and played with that little toy. And why?

Samantha [00:27:20]:
Why? Why? I don't know why. I don't know.

Lisa [00:27:23]:
And it was like a rush, right? Like, oh, God. Don't forget Gone the grocery list. I remember seeing my mom's groceries. Crackers. Yeah, don't forget the crackers. Better get two boxes. Case people stop by unexpectedly.

Samantha [00:27:33]:
It's a very big thing in the uk so we must have gotten this tradition from the British when they invaded us and took us over and we became part of the Commonwealth.

Lisa [00:27:42]:
I guess so. Hey, I don't know. I don't get it. I mean, I think when it was. When I was a kid, I was kind of cool. I don't know how many years we haven't done it for. I feel like a lot of.

Samantha [00:27:50]:
Huh.

Lisa [00:27:50]:
I feel. Which is funny because Gibsons are. Are British or Scottish, Ray.

Samantha [00:27:55]:
Scottish.

Lisa [00:27:56]:
Right. But. But from that.

Samantha [00:27:58]:
Hate the British.

Lisa [00:27:59]:
I don't know about that, but they're from that neck of the woods.

Samantha [00:28:01]:
They are from that.

Lisa [00:28:02]:
They're from across the pond. Right? You Know, So. I don't know, I just thought it was. I just was thinking back and in all of our family pictures, when you take your picture at the table, oh.

Samantha [00:28:14]:
They got the hats on.

Lisa [00:28:15]:
It's got the hats on.

Samantha [00:28:17]:
We don't do that.

Lisa [00:28:18]:
Did you do it when you were young?

Samantha [00:28:20]:
No, it only became a thing that we started doing like maybe the last five years.

Lisa [00:28:25]:
Oh, no, we were like hardcore hat wearers. No kids?

Samantha [00:28:29]:
No, not really.

Lisa [00:28:30]:
Purple, the orange, the green, the purple, the orange, the green, the purple, the orange.

Samantha [00:28:33]:
Yeah. It was sporadic, huh?

Lisa [00:28:34]:
No, not us. It was, it was, it was a tradition in the McIntyre house.

Samantha [00:28:39]:
Okay. Well, I mean, yeah.

Lisa [00:28:41]:
But I'm glad it's done. Kind of glad it's over. I never, I didn't love it then. I always thought it was kind of like, Like I was too cool for that hat. Right.

Samantha [00:28:51]:
Way too cool.

Lisa [00:28:52]:
Sure.

Samantha [00:28:52]:
Too cool. Too cool for the jokes. Too total.

Lisa [00:28:55]:
Yeah. Like, I'm like, it's not that funny. Look at the toy. Right. I don't know, maybe that's just my poor spirit.

Samantha [00:29:05]:
Oh, well, maybe.

Lisa [00:29:06]:
But probably by then I'd probably had enough of Christmas. Right. By the time out came the hats, I'm like, yes, you were done. Yeah.

Samantha [00:29:12]:
You're over it.

Lisa [00:29:13]:
Totally over it.

Samantha [00:29:14]:
Well, you know what I experienced after eating some of my mother's cookies and my sister in law's cookies, by the way, I realized that some cookies were actually good for my digestive system.

Lisa [00:29:29]:
Please explain.

Samantha [00:29:30]:
Well, the molasses cookies, the ginger snaps that my mother makes.

Lisa [00:29:34]:
Yeah.

Samantha [00:29:34]:
And my sister in law made them too.

Lisa [00:29:36]:
Yeah.

Samantha [00:29:36]:
But my sister in law also made gingerbread cookies, which, by the way, were the best.

Lisa [00:29:40]:
Okay.

Samantha [00:29:41]:
They were so good. They make you regular.

Lisa [00:29:45]:
They made you poop.

Samantha [00:29:47]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:29:47]:
I ate some of your mom's cookies. I didn't poop.

Samantha [00:29:50]:
It's because of the molasses in them.

Lisa [00:29:52]:
Well, because it's kind of like a prune, I think.

Samantha [00:29:55]:
I think it's better than a prune. And I'm like, I would rather eat a cookie. I would rather eat.

Lisa [00:29:59]:
Yeah, for sure.

Samantha [00:30:00]:
Right?

Lisa [00:30:00]:
I think it's like prune extract or something. As in molasses or something.

Samantha [00:30:04]:
Is that the next big thing? Like, should we somehow make cookies as like things that can make you regular? Like that could be how you like.

Lisa [00:30:13]:
Create a new product maybe. I don't know. I don't mind like boiled prunes. We grew up with them with manana.

Samantha [00:30:19]:
You're so weird.

Lisa [00:30:21]:
Right. We would eat them with my nana on Sunday mornings. Boiled in the little Pot. Yum. Loved them. I don't know. I haven't probably had them since I was 7 and certainly wouldn't have needed them. But Nana did, right? We didn't know things we didn't know back then, right? Apparently, Nana loves prunes.

Samantha [00:30:40]:
It's just fruit, dear.

Lisa [00:30:42]:
And she loved dates in her muffins.

Samantha [00:30:44]:
Oh, God, Dates are bran.

Lisa [00:30:46]:
Always a brand muffin with dates. Right? Again, things we didn't know.

Samantha [00:30:49]:
Well, brown muffins, I don't mind. Except when people put raisins in them. And I'm like, what is the point of.

Lisa [00:30:55]:
I don't get a raisin in a muffin. I like raisins. I don't like that.

Samantha [00:31:00]:
But I don't know.

Lisa [00:31:01]:
I don't know. Maybe an alternative to prunes, I hope. Like, when I had my heart attack, they had. I had to drink prune juice. And all I thought was, you know what? Because. Because, right. You know, your body goes through a lot of trauma. And I remember saying to them, like, they were like, you know, so you're probably gonna get discharged in a couple days.

Lisa [00:31:17]:
I'm like, well, guess what? Not before I poop, because it's been quite a while since that's been taking place. And I would. They would give me, like, the cenacot. Nothing. Nothing. Probably because also, I wasn't drinking water, right? Because I had already started to boycott water and nothing. And then finally they're like, well, you're gonna have to have prune juice. I'm like, that's fine.

Lisa [00:31:39]:
Bring it. And. Oh, God, that was gross. I'm like, that's punishment for not pooping. Total punishment for not pooping. Here, you get your prune juice.

Samantha [00:31:50]:
You know what? If only we'd known about gingerbread cookies, I would have snuck some in there for you. And you could, right?

Lisa [00:31:55]:
Who.

Samantha [00:31:56]:
You know, who knew?

Lisa [00:31:57]:
But as an old lady, going forward, I'm looking forward to that being the. The. The alternative for sure.

Samantha [00:32:03]:
And. And I don't know if it was. I think moms, because she probably puts quite a bit of molasses in her ginger snaps.

Lisa [00:32:09]:
Maybe your mom knew about this.

Samantha [00:32:12]:
So it's her molasses cookies and Linea's ginger snaps, for sure.

Lisa [00:32:15]:
Well, you were like, you know, and the other thing. And we talked about this years ago. Friends of the podcast. If you're just new listeners, have some cabbage. Oh, yeah. Total roughage. Who knew? I learned the hard way. I don't know what's going on.

Samantha [00:32:33]:
I don't know what's happening.

Lisa [00:32:34]:
I don't Know you're just eating cabbage. Who knew? The things we just don't think about. Hey. Yeah, I don't understand like some. I don't get that stuff. Okay, here's something else that came into my mind. So I don't have kids, right? No regrets. No regrets whatsoever.

Lisa [00:32:53]:
No.

Samantha [00:32:53]:
Neither one of us do.

Lisa [00:32:54]:
Neither. Right. With. We are regret free. However, I kind of had this thought, and I don't know why, but I had this thought that if I had a daughter, right? Which is not the choice that I would have wanted in the first place. If I had had a daughter, right? Because that was not my go to. If I was ever going to have a kid. It was not a.

Lisa [00:33:15]:
It was. It was definitely not a girl.

Samantha [00:33:17]:
No one needs another you.

Lisa [00:33:19]:
No, right. That was not my go to. But however, for some reason the other night, I was thinking if I had had a daughter, my advice to her as she was getting into her. I don't know, I guess like whatever years when you start thinking about like gynecologists and stuff like that, I would have wanted to give her some advice about going to her down there appointment because I would need her to know that that area needs to be staged. Just like you stage your house when you're selling it. You got one chance to make a good first impression, right? For your gynecologist, right?

Samantha [00:33:57]:
I don't think they care.

Lisa [00:33:58]:
Don't you? No, don't say that. Don't you. You really don't think that they go home going, for sakes, can't you just take. You knew you were coming. Can't you take some care? Right? You imagine if I'm the gynecologist and you're not, but you're my best friend still. And. And whoever walks out. What am I doing picking up my phone.

Lisa [00:34:18]:
Oh my God. Blah, blah, blah, who is just here. The nastiest takes the cake. She just moved up.

Samantha [00:34:26]:
Oh my God.

Lisa [00:34:27]:
They have to have conversations. Horrible.

Samantha [00:34:29]:
Because you would talk about everybody that wasn't like properly manicured, which would be disgusting, right?

Lisa [00:34:35]:
Because I wouldn't understand why when you're going to that appointment, you didn't stage it. Be whatever generation you want to be in your private life.

Samantha [00:34:44]:
Be a staged.

Lisa [00:34:46]:
Just like you do with your house, right? They stage your house. They put the nice flowers there. They make. They put potpourri on the. On, on. On the burner, right? Stage it. Stage your nether regions.

Samantha [00:34:58]:
Okay. All right, go.

Lisa [00:34:59]:
You'll one chance to make a good first impression.

Samantha [00:35:02]:
Clip the grass is basically what you're saying grass.

Lisa [00:35:05]:
Right, the grass. Get the weed whacker. Right, right, right. Do a good mo. Get the weed whacker. Trim. Right. And maybe just a little smell.

Lisa [00:35:16]:
Things like that. I understand why there's the all over body smell.

Samantha [00:35:20]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:35:21]:
Right. If I'm the gynecologist, that's the prerequisite, Right? Right. Scoot on up before I go in. Right. Now that they've made it horrible as well. Use it.

Samantha [00:35:35]:
You'd be so. You would shame your patients. That would be horrible.

Lisa [00:35:38]:
No, I wouldn't shame them to them. I would just shame them probably to you.

Samantha [00:35:43]:
That's not any better.

Lisa [00:35:45]:
Friday night, having a glass of wine. Oh, how was your week? Oh, my God, let me tell you. I saw 19. I saw 1974 four times, right?

Samantha [00:35:58]:
Oh, my God, you are horrible.

Lisa [00:36:03]:
The sand. Right.

Samantha [00:36:04]:
You are horrible.

Lisa [00:36:05]:
That's the advice I would give to my daughter that I didn't want. Yeah, right.

Samantha [00:36:09]:
Mow the lawn.

Lisa [00:36:10]:
Mow the lawn. Take some care. Right, right. Stage it. Make it look its best.

Samantha [00:36:18]:
Please don't.

Lisa [00:36:20]:
Oh, God, that's funny. Hey, Samantha, I got another clip. Another clip of the past.

Samantha [00:36:26]:
Alrighty.

Lisa [00:36:27]:
12 months. I don't know what it's about, but let's just see. All I know is that it's going to be funny. God meant you to enjoy that.

Samantha [00:36:36]:
God said you should eat bread.

Lisa [00:36:38]:
God said you should eat bread and drink wine on Fridays.

Samantha [00:36:43]:
And it was delicious.

Lisa [00:36:44]:
I'm pretty sure he made a picture about that. They're a painting. They're sitting at a table. Okay. That's how popular it is. Right?

Samantha [00:36:54]:
God.

Lisa [00:36:55]:
God drew a painting he did.

Samantha [00:36:57]:
And he just. He's like. This is reference.

Lisa [00:36:59]:
He's like, just so the world never forgets about this moment, boys. Always. Just so we never forget this moment. All 12 of you sitting here, remember, God wants you to have bread and wine. Although I'm sure it's Jesus. Not God.

Samantha [00:37:17]:
Oh, it is Jesus. Oh, yeah, sorry. Oops.

Lisa [00:37:20]:
We didn't fact check that. No, we.

Samantha [00:37:22]:
Well, you know, it's like you.

Lisa [00:37:24]:
It's like the unwritten rule of Starbucks is thou shalt not ever get upset with how long it takes to get your drink.

Samantha [00:37:30]:
Exactly. Thou shalt not lose your. In Starbucks. You will never come here again.

Lisa [00:37:37]:
Right. You would be shamed somehow because the people waiting would shame you.

Samantha [00:37:42]:
But it's totally okay to act like a lunatic everywhere else when you have to wait in line. But for some reason, Starbucks has this weird aura about it.

Lisa [00:37:54]:
It's like, it's. It's the Weirdest thing, right? I go to the Tim Hortons. If my double double isn't waiting for me within 30 seconds, I'm like, arms crossed.

Samantha [00:38:01]:
Like, what are you doing?

Lisa [00:38:03]:
Looking at my watch. Like, hi, people, it's been 30 seconds. Starbucks. It's like. It's like your entitled coffee break just got extended because, hi. Yeah, I get. I only get 15 minutes, but that doesn't include waiting for the Starbucks.

Samantha [00:38:18]:
I just. I don't get it.

Lisa [00:38:20]:
I don't get it.

Samantha [00:38:21]:
There's so many things about Starbucks I don't understand.

Lisa [00:38:23]:
Two Labradoodles passed our place. One is so thrilled to be out, it is literally prancing. And the other, you can tell, written all over its little Labradoodle face, pissed to have joined. Pissed to have joined. It got me thinking, if I was a dog, I would be the one that's literally being dragged. Yes, you would. I'd be pissed to be joining.

Samantha [00:38:47]:
Because you hate when you have to walk, like, a block, right?

Lisa [00:38:52]:
It's like.

Samantha [00:38:53]:
It's like, sam, do you want to park here, or do you want to try a little harder to park closer to the door?

Lisa [00:38:59]:
Because sometimes with you, you don't even try.

Samantha [00:39:02]:
No, I don't, because I'm like, oh, that's a spot. Because I'm okay with walking.

Lisa [00:39:06]:
Yeah, right. So. So. So if we were the dogs, you are the okay with walking. Prancing. I'm prancing, and I am literally being dragged. And you know what I'm thinking as I'm being dragged? I'm thinking to myself, hey, dear owner, you're the one who needs the exercise, not me. Okay? This is breaking news in Canada.

Lisa [00:39:29]:
Maybe it's all over the world. I don't know. Did you hear about the lady from British Columbia? Prime Minister, and don't get me wrong, friends of the podcast, not many people like him.

Samantha [00:39:44]:
No.

Lisa [00:39:44]:
Most of the country wants him out. Yep, we think he's a douchebag. However, he's still the Canadian Prime Minister. He's on vacation with his family in B.C. skiing, and a lady from British Columbia says, hey, Mr. Prime Minister, Mr. Trudeau. And he comes over, shakes her hand.

Lisa [00:40:04]:
He's like, oh, hi. Nice to meet you. Shakes his hand, all cordially, she says, get the fuck out of bc. Get the fuck out of bc. You suck. And he walked away saying, you have a nice day, too. And you know what? It's like all over the TikTok, right? Because, of course, Canadians, who are supposed to be classy, we look trashy, right? We still have to respect. Number one, the fact he's with his family.

Samantha [00:40:32]:
Yes. That's rude.

Lisa [00:40:33]:
Number two, the fact that he holds the highest position in our country, whether it's right or wrong. Why you got to be like that lady from B.C.

Samantha [00:40:43]:
Because she felt that it was her province and he doesn't live there, so he needed to leave.

Lisa [00:40:49]:
Did she buy British Columbia?

Samantha [00:40:51]:
Probably not.

Lisa [00:40:52]:
Right.

Samantha [00:40:53]:
I heard some rumors that he was actually quite rude while he was vacationing.

Lisa [00:41:00]:
Well, I don't know if I saw. He was very pleasant.

Samantha [00:41:02]:
Yeah. I heard that he was. He was buddy in line and he didn't have. He was like being a kind of. I'm the Prime Minister. Yeah, but that. Whatever, dude. You're just.

Lisa [00:41:13]:
Hi. Really? Really? You don't think that Donald Trump goes to front of the line. You get the front of the line treatment?

Samantha [00:41:18]:
He does.

Lisa [00:41:18]:
I think if you're the Prime Minister, you get front of the line treatment.

Samantha [00:41:21]:
Okay. All right.

Lisa [00:41:22]:
I think it's okay, but I don't think we have the right.

Samantha [00:41:24]:
Nobody likes them, though. That's the problem.

Lisa [00:41:26]:
Nobody likes them. Everybody wants him out, but nobody will commit to who they want in.

Samantha [00:41:30]:
Right.

Lisa [00:41:31]:
We. We. We very well could become the 51st or 52nd stage.

Samantha [00:41:35]:
No, we're not doing that. We're not.

Lisa [00:41:37]:
I think odds are looking good.

Samantha [00:41:39]:
I think the Commonwealth will have a lot to say with that.

Lisa [00:41:42]:
I don't know. I don't know what they can do. They can.

Samantha [00:41:45]:
They can do a lot.

Lisa [00:41:46]:
Well, we'll have to.

Samantha [00:41:47]:
I don't. I don't think that there are more Canadians that don't want to become the 51st state because, no offense, it's not being well run now. So it's probably not going to change in four years.

Lisa [00:41:58]:
Let's play. Let's play. Would you rather. Would you rather keep Trudeau for another four years, or would you rather become America?

Samantha [00:42:05]:
I would rather keep Trudeau.

Lisa [00:42:06]:
I would, too. Right. Because that's what Canadians would do. Sometimes the W knows better than the W don't. Yeah.

Samantha [00:42:14]:
The devil that you don't know has tastes like raised Lisa. He wants to buy. He wants to take over Greenland and Panama. So he knows nothing about history. He doesn't know that it's owned by other people.

Lisa [00:42:30]:
He does not. He thinks he can just go and buy it.

Samantha [00:42:32]:
He's not aware.

Lisa [00:42:33]:
He's not.

Samantha [00:42:34]:
He's not fully aware.

Lisa [00:42:36]:
He's not very smart. What goes on. He's not very smart. I'm just saying. But you know what? For people who need to lash out at the Prime Minister, can we just still try and be classy? Were Canadians, for God's sake?

Samantha [00:42:47]:
Wow, right? Oh, hell, we're very influenced. We're very influenced by the rhetoric that comes up from the South.

Lisa [00:42:54]:
I know, but still, right? We're better. We're better than being rude to people.

Samantha [00:42:58]:
We are better than that.

Lisa [00:42:59]:
You know what else I think we're better than? I hope to God we're better than. Oh, dear Lord, let us be better than.

Samantha [00:43:06]:
Dear Lord.

Lisa [00:43:07]:
The new trend that's back. The Mary Jane shoe. Can we please not do this?

Samantha [00:43:15]:
Oh, you mean adult women wearing children's lick looking like shoes?

Lisa [00:43:19]:
Like, do you remember the one that, Remember they called it like the Japanese slipper or the Chinese slipper one. And then there's the actual real hardcore Mary Jane shoe.

Samantha [00:43:27]:
Yeah, I know.

Lisa [00:43:27]:
Apparently Sarah Jessica Parker and Kelly Ripa are joining the trend.

Samantha [00:43:32]:
Oh, well, that's nice.

Lisa [00:43:33]:
Because here's the thing, right? As we get older, our feet get puffier.

Samantha [00:43:37]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:43:37]:
There's a strap that goes right across the top of your foot. And what's it gonna do? Just split up the Fred Flintstone fatness, Right. Oh, don't let this trend come to fruition.

Samantha [00:43:49]:
That would totally happen to me, Right?

Lisa [00:43:51]:
It would happen to all of us. Especially at the end of the day with your little Mary Janes on. We can't do it. We can't let that happen. We can't go there because then they're.

Samantha [00:44:00]:
Gonna wear like bobby socks or you're.

Lisa [00:44:03]:
Gonna have to always be in like, like a tight because it's not just a sock.

Samantha [00:44:09]:
No. People are gonna get weird with it. I mean, that's fine. I mean, it's just a trend.

Lisa [00:44:13]:
That's fine. It's not that fine. Google it, friends, the podcast. See if you're in on that shoe.

Samantha [00:44:19]:
People who like shoes probably won't be. They'll probably be okay with it.

Lisa [00:44:23]:
Well, I like shoes, but I'm not okay with it.

Samantha [00:44:26]:
You like one shoe.

Lisa [00:44:28]:
I like my shoe.

Samantha [00:44:29]:
You like.

Lisa [00:44:30]:
You like your loafer and your boobs. Remember my other zip up boot that I loved? May it rest in peace.

Samantha [00:44:37]:
It died a slow and painful death.

Lisa [00:44:40]:
Finally I had to put it down, remember? I was so sad. I tried so hard not to have to put that one down.

Samantha [00:44:47]:
I know, I know. And you had a perfectly fine other boot that you don't wear.

Lisa [00:44:51]:
I still don't wear it. I still have it. I still don't wear it.

Samantha [00:44:53]:
It's a slip on. It's lovely. Everyone wears those.

Lisa [00:44:56]:
I put them on and I hate how they look. I don't know why I take them right back off.

Samantha [00:45:02]:
I know.

Lisa [00:45:03]:
Maybe one day. Who knows? It's hard to say.

Samantha [00:45:05]:
I think you'll poo poo any trend if it's not a loafer or your boot.

Lisa [00:45:08]:
I like loafers.

Samantha [00:45:10]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:45:10]:
And better than boots, right? I like a loafer better than a boot, actually.

Samantha [00:45:15]:
Well, but in the winter you need a boot.

Lisa [00:45:18]:
But this isn't like a winter boot. You're making this sound like I'm wearing a winter boot.

Samantha [00:45:21]:
You're not in a winter boot.

Lisa [00:45:22]:
I'm not. I'm in like a kick ass army boot.

Samantha [00:45:24]:
No, you're not in a kick ass.

Lisa [00:45:26]:
It's kind of a kick ass army boot. It's a combat boot.

Samantha [00:45:28]:
It.

Lisa [00:45:29]:
It looks like a doc. Looks like a doc Martin.

Samantha [00:45:33]:
No, it doesn't.

Lisa [00:45:33]:
Yes, it does. Similar.

Samantha [00:45:40]:
Well, when I. I went shopping on Friday with, with my mother and my sister and I got paid a very odd compliment, I think, on my, on the boots that I was wearing. Because, you know, I like my thicker soled lug boots that I have. And my mom's like, well, you know, Derek, you know, your boots, they're just very interesting too. And I'm just like, I know mom. I don't wear the same kind of shoes as Michelle.

Lisa [00:46:04]:
I feel interesting is never a compliment.

Samantha [00:46:07]:
I don't know if that was exactly what you said, but no, I was just like, I know I wear a combat type of lug boot, but I like them because they make me feel tall.

Lisa [00:46:18]:
Right.

Samantha [00:46:18]:
And I feel secure in them when I walk in the winter snow.

Lisa [00:46:21]:
They're on trend. And they're on trend. You know what I did this week? Nothing to do with shoes. I cook something so out of my character. So the girls that work the late. My friends, right? My boss and my boss boss, we were ordering something to eat, right? Take out. So my boss boss says, let's order Skip. Sure, sounds good.

Lisa [00:46:42]:
Lisa, why don't you order Skip? I'm like, well, I don't like to make the decisions on what we get. That's fine. So we decided on what we were going to get. So what do I do? Because who doesn't. Who do you think does not know anything about Skip and has never used Skip to dishes before you. This girl. I downloaded it and I used it and placed that order. Samantha, for everyone.

Lisa [00:47:05]:
It was just me and my boss boss.

Samantha [00:47:07]:
Just two of us. Okay, Just the two, right?

Lisa [00:47:09]:
Would I ever do that before I'd make you do it. Totally. I'd make you do it. Right. Because I don't like doing like that. No, you don't, But I did it. But I felt kind of flustered. I felt kind of like there was pressure.

Lisa [00:47:22]:
Right, because you don't want to screw it up. Right. Because my boss. Boss. You can't be the one who screws up her lunch.

Samantha [00:47:28]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:47:28]:
And then here's my. Here's what I shake my head at, though, with the. I skip my dishes. People don't say that you're here in four minutes when then in 30 seconds later, you say, you're here in seven, and then don't say that. Hi. Don't text me an aggressive text saying, I'm here when. No, no, actually, I'm here and you're not here. I'm here.

Lisa [00:47:50]:
You're not here. So that was kind of the downfall to that experience, which is probably why I don't love. Why I probably never thought I would love that experience.

Samantha [00:47:58]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:47:59]:
But I did it.

Samantha [00:48:00]:
Did you have to go find the person?

Lisa [00:48:02]:
No, I made them come find me.

Samantha [00:48:04]:
Oh, I bet they love that.

Lisa [00:48:06]:
Yeah, whatever. It doesn't matter. Right? That's. Your job, is to bring me the skip. Bring me the skip. Right. But I don't. Just between us, I don't want the world knowing that I'm capable of doing that.

Lisa [00:48:19]:
Because then with that comes expectation.

Samantha [00:48:21]:
Yes. For sure.

Lisa [00:48:22]:
Which I don't want. Right?

Samantha [00:48:23]:
No.

Lisa [00:48:24]:
Okay, so it's our little secret.

Samantha [00:48:26]:
Well, have you. Have you figured out what the Canadians searched for in 2024?

Lisa [00:48:31]:
Oh, yeah, well, I heard that the number one thing that they searched for was. Oh, right now. Sorry. I'm thinking of what the number one thing was from Tim Hortons, and it was a double. Double. And an apple fritter. And I was like, apple fritter. That's the number one donut for 2024.

Samantha [00:48:49]:
No.

Lisa [00:48:50]:
Yeah, that was the number one donut. I think it was Kate Middleton. I think I heard.

Samantha [00:48:55]:
Yeah, Middleton on the Google, followed by baby reindeer.

Lisa [00:48:59]:
Oh, still a show I can't get into.

Samantha [00:49:01]:
No. And what time the Mike Tyson fight was? And, oh, and from the United States, it was, of course, Trump, Diddy, the Olympics, and the Mendez brothers and the Menendez brothers.

Lisa [00:49:10]:
Right.

Samantha [00:49:11]:
Like. Like that's an interesting trend for the United States.

Lisa [00:49:14]:
That's funny. Hey, that's like, boy, aren't we just chock full of substance. Right? All. Both countries. Not that great.

Samantha [00:49:23]:
Kate Middleton. And baby reindeer.

Lisa [00:49:25]:
And baby reindeer. Okay, that's kind of funny.

Samantha [00:49:30]:
Oh, God. I don't. I don't Know, like, should we have. Should we be more. Should we be more. Should we be more as a human race? We should be more as a human race.

Lisa [00:49:40]:
Like, let's start a new thing. That 2025, the most popular wor word. Google Paint.

Samantha [00:49:46]:
No.

Lisa [00:49:46]:
Well, it doesn't need to be now. I've just given it up.

Samantha [00:49:49]:
Yes. No, it doesn't need to be that way. That word is horrible.

Lisa [00:49:52]:
Right?

Samantha [00:49:53]:
Sometimes I wish you didn't read.

Lisa [00:49:54]:
It's descriptive. I don't read much. I don't read much. Okay, I gotta shake my head. I have another. I shake my head.

Samantha [00:50:01]:
Oh, God.

Lisa [00:50:01]:
This doesn't happen at my house because I'm lucky, right? I'm married to, like, the perfect guy with bathroom etiquette, right? Raised by a strong Scottish galaxy. So doesn't happen in my house, but I feel it happens in places. I shake my head at all the people who emptied the toilet paper, change the roll, but leave the empty roll sitting by the toilet or on the counter and don't take it to the garbage.

Samantha [00:50:28]:
Why would they do that?

Lisa [00:50:29]:
People do that. I read about it. People do that. That's a pet peeve. It's a pet peeve.

Samantha [00:50:34]:
Really?

Lisa [00:50:34]:
It's a pet peeve, right, that they just like and then they just leave it.

Samantha [00:50:38]:
Why would you. Are we hanging onto it for some. I don't know.

Lisa [00:50:42]:
Why. Why is it not automatically going into your recycle bin or something?

Samantha [00:50:45]:
Are we hoarding it?

Lisa [00:50:47]:
I don't know. I don't know.

Samantha [00:50:48]:
Are we using it in crafts?

Lisa [00:50:50]:
Oh, I don't know. And I think that's crafting. That's. Do we need to make toilet paper roll crafts in 2025?

Samantha [00:50:58]:
It's. It's. Is that not a rite of passage in, like, kindergarten or something? Or grade one?

Lisa [00:51:03]:
I think. I think. I think. Remember at Christmas, you'd make a. You'd make a candle. You put, like, you'd paint the toilet paper roll, you'd tape a little piece of paper, and then you'd tape a flame, Right? Right. Here's my happy, Merry Christmas, mummy. Oh, lovely garbage, right? You made a.

Lisa [00:51:20]:
What is this again, Lisa? It's a candle.

Samantha [00:51:23]:
It's a candle, Mommy.

Lisa [00:51:24]:
Okay, okay. I'm just saying, right? Anybody friends of the podcast? Anybody out there live with people who aren't putting the empty toilet roll container in the garbage?

Samantha [00:51:34]:
I have never heard of that before.

Lisa [00:51:35]:
I want to know. I want to know.

Samantha [00:51:37]:
That's okay. All right.

Lisa [00:51:39]:
I'm curious. Right?

Samantha [00:51:41]:
I don't know. I feel like society needs to up Its game. You know, we're not asking for much to, you know, just please encourage people to just not roll out of bed and go out looking the way that they look. Like, we're not asking for much. Maybe a toothbrush, a wash of a face, and a comb of a hair. And a comb that's maybe more than, like, pajama pants.

Lisa [00:52:04]:
Right. Like, I. Where buts were we? At the grocery store. At the grocery store. Right. And I didn't really necessarily want to go out. I was, like, having lazy, like, the letter G and lasagna. Right.

Lisa [00:52:16]:
I'm doing nothing like the letter G and lasagna Sunday. Right. Nothing. Needed to go to the grocery store. Still did all those things. Put a little bit of makeup on, put my jeans on, put on a T shirt, went out looking presentable, Saw all the people who just rolled out of bed and thought, oh, shit, I better go get something. Like, I get if your baby needs food. I get if your baby needs food.

Lisa [00:52:42]:
I get if you need to go to the doctor.

Samantha [00:52:44]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:52:45]:
I don't get if you need to go buy buns and ham at the co op.

Samantha [00:52:49]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:52:50]:
Why are you looking like a piece of shit?

Samantha [00:52:52]:
You know what, Lisa? Sometimes people don't care.

Lisa [00:52:56]:
And.

Samantha [00:52:56]:
And they're waiting for you. Misjudgment.

Lisa [00:52:59]:
Well, you're pretty judgmental, too.

Samantha [00:53:01]:
I am.

Lisa [00:53:02]:
You're equally as judgmental. You might even be a little bit more judgmental. Right.

Samantha [00:53:07]:
Depends how I feel that day.

Lisa [00:53:08]:
Yeah. Like. And I think if you're having a judgmental day, you're way more piercing than I am on any day.

Samantha [00:53:14]:
Well, one. One. One day this past week, I was out. I can't remember where I was. And I saw someone with a toque on their head. And it was weird, and it was pointy, and I. And I was like, I don't know. I was just humming, right? And all of a sudden I was like, and your hat looks really stupid, and it's ugly.

Samantha [00:53:35]:
And then I walked away. And I'm like, I don't care if you heard my song, because your hat is really ugly and it looks stupid. Stupid.

Lisa [00:53:43]:
Right? And it looks dumb.

Samantha [00:53:46]:
I'm like, I maybe shouldn't do that. And I'm like, I don't really care.

Lisa [00:53:51]:
I'm gonna keep singing. I'm in my 56th year. If I think you look dumb, I'm gonna sing it loud enough that you just might hear me.

Samantha [00:53:59]:
I'm singing. I'm in the store singing, right?

Lisa [00:54:02]:
And then I'm noticing, and then I'm commenting in Tune. And. Of course. But the problem is that when you judge, nobody thinks you're judging them. That's the beauty of judging. Nobody thinks you're judging them. No, because it's. Obviously.

Lisa [00:54:15]:
You're not talking about. It's not me you're talking about. Even though I'm chalked in my pajama pants. Did not brush my teeth or brush my hair. Not. Not this look.

Samantha [00:54:24]:
Not this you.

Lisa [00:54:25]:
No, you can't be. It's not this look you're having issues with. Okay. Here's something I've been wondering, too, right? Are we missing out on Uggs?

Samantha [00:54:35]:
No.

Lisa [00:54:36]:
Are you sure?

Samantha [00:54:37]:
They're fuzzy, they're weird, they're clumsy.

Lisa [00:54:39]:
My nephew said he was at, like, a birthday party for, like, his little guy, and he said all there was was, like. It was like Uggs threw up in the foyer. He said there was real ones, fake ones, in between ones. And then it got me thinking. Did we miss out on Uggs?

Samantha [00:54:57]:
No, that's not our generation.

Lisa [00:54:58]:
It's not our generation.

Samantha [00:55:00]:
No.

Lisa [00:55:01]:
I don't know. I think that there's some of our generation in Uggs.

Samantha [00:55:04]:
No. I'm never.

Lisa [00:55:06]:
What's worse than Uggs? Or a croc? Or are they the same? Just different season.

Samantha [00:55:10]:
Same, different season.

Lisa [00:55:11]:
Same, different season. Right?

Samantha [00:55:12]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:55:13]:
Yeah, Yeah. I can kind of see that, too.

Samantha [00:55:15]:
Like, the Ugg is. Is shapeless. It looks like a really bad winter boot. I bet it keeps your feet really warm.

Lisa [00:55:23]:
I feel it does what it's supposed to.

Samantha [00:55:25]:
I have no doubt.

Lisa [00:55:26]:
Hence the popularity. Right. Why the croc is so popular. It really is comfortable, they say, but it's not.

Samantha [00:55:33]:
It's sweaty and gross and plastic, and.

Lisa [00:55:35]:
It'S got little beads on the bottom of your feet that hurt, and it hurts you. So I don't understand. Remember, I tried Crocs this year. Didn't understand. I don't understand what this is about.

Samantha [00:55:47]:
Yeah. I mean, if I had to wear Uggs, I probably would, but they wouldn't be my first choice. I don't.

Lisa [00:55:52]:
Like. I would wear Uggs before Crocs.

Samantha [00:55:55]:
Yeah, probably.

Lisa [00:55:57]:
When I go to my sisters in January, they're a family of Uggs. I might have to. Like. I did my Croc experience experiment. I might have to do the Ugg experience. You might have to experiment. Right.

Samantha [00:56:08]:
You know, I don't like.

Lisa [00:56:09]:
I don't like it. I don't like the fact that my pants have to go in the Ugg.

Samantha [00:56:13]:
Oh, yeah, that's right.

Lisa [00:56:15]:
Like, I hate that look, right?

Samantha [00:56:16]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:56:16]:
Like, I hated it as A kid. Remember you take your pant leg and you'd wrap it around and you'd put your. Your boot on.

Samantha [00:56:22]:
Remember you had to put plastic bags, right?

Lisa [00:56:25]:
You put your Wonder Bread socks on so you didn't get wet, Your feet didn't get wet. People say they have no time for Gen X.

Samantha [00:56:35]:
Come on now.

Lisa [00:56:37]:
Come on.

Samantha [00:56:38]:
We survived. We survived and we're good. We ate lead.

Lisa [00:56:43]:
Lead, Right. We ate lead and didn't care. Whatever.

Samantha [00:56:49]:
That's the beauty of us.

Lisa [00:56:51]:
Yeah, exactly. Well, it is.

Samantha [00:56:53]:
Guys, here's another quick clip of some funny past moments.

Lisa [00:56:56]:
This year, I feel that God gave me two hands and my parents decided, you're only going to be able to use one of them, Lisa, because the other hand's going to be absolutely useless in your life.

Samantha [00:57:08]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:57:10]:
Right? Right hand, really good. Left hand can't even hold a pen.

Samantha [00:57:16]:
Well, I mean, this is true. This is very true. So, Lisa, if you had given. Been given the option to use both hands, both hands held a crayon, both hands could do equally the same thing. What would you have given the world?

Lisa [00:57:31]:
Who knows? It's so hard to say. I probably would have been an astrophysicist. I probably would have been dealing with the Bunsen burner with one hand solving, like, the climate problem that didn't even exist 35, 40 years ago in the other hand. But we didn't get that choice because our parents put the crayon in your right hand.

Samantha [00:57:49]:
Right? Damn boomers.

Lisa [00:57:52]:
Right? I'm calling out the parents on this one. Samantha.

Samantha [00:57:56]:
Gen X, we found something.

Lisa [00:57:58]:
So today I didn't buy a donut, and I had immediate regrets as I walked away. Immediate regrets. Immediate.

Samantha [00:58:06]:
I'm sure you did. Bye, Sprinkle donuts. See you later, Lisa. Don't leave without me.

Lisa [00:58:13]:
Lisa loves you. Right?

Samantha [00:58:15]:
I love you too, Lisa.

Lisa [00:58:18]:
And then in my mind there was like some like, like, like some music. Like, some. It's like, like Billie Eilish playing. What? Was I made poor?

Samantha [00:58:31]:
Yes, you were made for donuts. Why should you ever be separated, right? Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:58:39]:
And then I separate. Now I'm trying to separate myself from the donuts because I'm trying not to snack at work.

Samantha [00:58:46]:
That's a dumb diet.

Lisa [00:58:48]:
Well, I didn't bring it home. It's not a not snack at home guy. Just not snack at work. Even better.

Samantha [00:58:56]:
All right, Lisa, you had some really fun Sunday Post.

Lisa [00:59:02]:
Let's pretend we're having a party. Kellyanne Foster, where's this party? In your heart. It's in your heart.

Samantha [00:59:09]:
Kellyanne, in your heart.

Lisa [00:59:11]:
God, it's in your heart.

Samantha [00:59:14]:
Everyone. Everyone that commented had some really great New Year's Eve food. Thank you.

Lisa [00:59:18]:
I want that part. Yeah. Some point in my life. I.

Samantha [00:59:21]:
It's.

Lisa [00:59:22]:
If we haven't. I shake my head big. Like. Like after Oscar party. I want this party. I want this food. Sir.

Samantha [00:59:31]:
Yeah. It had, like, someone said they made an extraordinary cheese dip. Awesome. Let's play that game. Wisconsin sushi was funny. It was pickles, ham and. And cream cheese, I believe.

Lisa [00:59:43]:
Cream cheese.

Samantha [00:59:45]:
Pull up, pull apart. Sourdough cranberry brie.

Lisa [00:59:48]:
Pull. That was delightful.

Samantha [00:59:51]:
Deviled eggs. Champagne.

Lisa [00:59:53]:
Can't have a party without eggs.

Samantha [00:59:54]:
No. Smoked salmon on a Bellini. That was Carol. Candy salad. That sounded delightful.

Lisa [01:00:01]:
I question. I'm like, what might this be? And then. And then Tara posted a picture. Yeah. It's just candy in a salad bowl. I'm like, that's brilliant. Brilliant.

Samantha [01:00:10]:
Bacon wrap, scallops, and there's so many more yummy things. Delicious yumster things.

Lisa [01:00:16]:
Right? That would be a fun party.

Samantha [01:00:18]:
That would be a fun party. That'd be a party that I would go to.

Lisa [01:00:21]:
I wonder when Oprah threw her party for Gail's 70th birthday. Very extravagant.

Samantha [01:00:26]:
Yes.

Lisa [01:00:27]:
If they had any of those foods.

Samantha [01:00:30]:
Maybe some deviled eggs. Maybe.

Lisa [01:00:31]:
Maybe some. I could see Oprah doing it. Like, don't forget the eggs. Right. Don't forget the eggs.

Samantha [01:00:37]:
Maybe they had some Brie, but maybe not. Pull apart.

Lisa [01:00:40]:
Maybe not. I don't know. Like, I would. What do you eat when you're Oprah? What. What does that. What does that look like? What does Oprah's extravagant appetizer birthday party look like compared to the one you throw for me when it's my birthday? Well, that. You have never thrown for me.

Samantha [01:00:56]:
You would. No, we throw you lots of parties. It's just, like, probably not what you think you want. We would do pigs in a blanket. Because you love that.

Lisa [01:01:09]:
I love that. I love pigs in a blanket.

Samantha [01:01:11]:
Little baby sausage things.

Lisa [01:01:13]:
Yeah.

Samantha [01:01:13]:
Wings. You would have wings.

Lisa [01:01:15]:
Like, I don't see Oprah eating a wing.

Samantha [01:01:17]:
No, she's definitely not doing that.

Lisa [01:01:19]:
Oprah probably pay somebody to lick her fingers for her.

Samantha [01:01:22]:
I think that really, the food is the least of her concern. I think you would be more interested in the champagne or the wine. That was probably sure at the party.

Lisa [01:01:30]:
Totally. Right. I would even be okay with no food. Yeah.

Samantha [01:01:33]:
You. You mightbe want Brie.

Lisa [01:01:37]:
I like Brie.

Samantha [01:01:38]:
Yeah.

Lisa [01:01:38]:
I like Bri.

Samantha [01:01:39]:
Yeah.

Lisa [01:01:39]:
I'd be fine with that. So start planning. Okay. I turned 70 in 15 years. Almost 14 years, actually.

Samantha [01:01:47]:
Oh, thank God I have time.

Lisa [01:01:48]:
You got some time, right? You got some time, Samantha.

Samantha [01:01:53]:
Thank God for that.

Lisa [01:01:54]:
Hallelujah.

Samantha [01:01:56]:
But you know what? I'm gonna shake my head again. I'm gonna shake my head at people who make resolutions.

Lisa [01:02:01]:
This means you're shaking your head at me.

Samantha [01:02:03]:
I know I am, because I don't understand. This is not realistic. Don't make resolutions at the beginning of the new year.

Lisa [01:02:09]:
I set goals.

Samantha [01:02:11]:
No. What, Like, I just don't understand what makes the beginning of a new year so special that everyone needs to, like, have a resolution. Like, whose idea was this? Is this, like, somebody. Somebody's making a buck off of this somewhere, And I'm just.

Lisa [01:02:23]:
You obviously don't know the New Year's tradition, right? So at. At 11:59, you open up the back door and you let the old year out. Midnight, you open up the front, do and welcome the new Year in.

Samantha [01:02:38]:
Excellent. I can't wait.

Lisa [01:02:40]:
That's what you have to do.

Samantha [01:02:41]:
Okay.

Lisa [01:02:41]:
All right. I don't know what you do if you just have one door. Maybe open the window or something. I don't know.

Samantha [01:02:47]:
Maybe you can open a window, but.

Lisa [01:02:49]:
You'Re supposed to do something special for the. Let the new year know that it's welcome.

Samantha [01:02:53]:
Okay. You're welcome. I'm welcoming in the new year.

Lisa [01:02:55]:
I think you're afraid to set. To set something.

Samantha [01:02:57]:
No, I don't want to set a goal. I'm good. I think New Year's resolutions don't make sense. At the beginning of a new year, if you come across something in your life and you feel like you need to make a change, do it. Then don't wait for the new Year.

Lisa [01:03:10]:
I'm doing mine in the new year called procrastination. It's called a starting point.

Samantha [01:03:14]:
And don't do a New Year's resolution like Lisa, because she already does all of the things that she listed at the beginning of the episode. She already does them.

Lisa [01:03:22]:
So guess what? I'm just praising my hard work and being successful.

Samantha [01:03:26]:
No, you're not.

Lisa [01:03:27]:
It's a feel good New Year, actually. It's feel good.

Samantha [01:03:29]:
Oh, my God. Only you can set up your New Year's resolutions to make you look better. Like right now.

Lisa [01:03:35]:
Right. And then if there's a problem, then you know what I say it. I'll do better tomorrow.

Samantha [01:03:40]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [01:03:41]:
Right? Because you always got to have a New Year's loophole.

Samantha [01:03:44]:
Well, for. With you, there is always a new year.

Lisa [01:03:46]:
There's got to be a workaround just in case. Gotta have it in your back pocket that you can play the workaround card if you need to. Oh, Monopoly. It's your get out of jail card in Lisa's Game of Life. It's my workaround. Right. That's what that's about. Okay.

Lisa [01:04:03]:
Okay. New Year's Eve. I know. By the time people listen to this, it's happened for us.

Samantha [01:04:09]:
Recording.

Lisa [01:04:09]:
Yes, tomorrow. You got some appies. You got some snacks. Did you get some?

Samantha [01:04:14]:
Yes, I have some.

Lisa [01:04:15]:
The Safeway does cauliflower bites, and are they ever delightful. Oh, God. But they make it with a hot honey.

Samantha [01:04:24]:
Oh, you don't like that?

Lisa [01:04:25]:
Well, I don't like honey. I'm allergic, so I don't understand that. But I. When I visually saw the honey, I'm like, oh, that's why I don't like it. It's kind of an ugly food, too. It's got an ugly consistency to it.

Samantha [01:04:36]:
It does. Yep.

Lisa [01:04:37]:
That's probably part of my allergy, so. Yeah. All right, we've got lots of appetizers, but here's my question. Who do you watch? Do you watch New Year's Eve with Anderson and Ryan or Anderson and Andy? Or do you watch Ryan?

Samantha [01:04:51]:
Oh, gosh. Well, it really will depend on the kind of entertainment that they have. Right.

Lisa [01:04:56]:
And is Hoda and Jenna doing something this year?

Samantha [01:04:59]:
I don't think so.

Lisa [01:05:00]:
I wish they would.

Samantha [01:05:01]:
No.

Lisa [01:05:02]:
Van Arden's doing something with Adrian Arsenault in Toronto.

Samantha [01:05:06]:
It's cbc.

Lisa [01:05:07]:
Yes. That'll be kind of exciting too. Right? Go, Jan. Go.

Samantha [01:05:11]:
Go, Jan.

Lisa [01:05:12]:
Right. Go. Right. We'll have to tune into that and catch that.

Samantha [01:05:15]:
Yeah, well, you know, I love. You know, I love the cbc, so.

Lisa [01:05:18]:
Right. I love the cbc, too. Right. So who do you pick? You just only purely go based on the entertainment.

Samantha [01:05:24]:
I go based on entertainment. I don't really.

Lisa [01:05:27]:
Rumor has it they're letting Andy Cohen drink this year.

Samantha [01:05:33]:
That's a bad idea.

Lisa [01:05:34]:
No, that makes it better be like Lisa and Sam's New Year. Rockin New Year's Eve.

Samantha [01:05:41]:
Right.

Lisa [01:05:42]:
Think of the fun. You and I would totally be Anderson Cooper and Andy if you and I had to host a New Year's Eve event.

Samantha [01:05:50]:
Yes.

Lisa [01:05:51]:
Right. Because you'd be Anderson, very proper, and I'd be Andy. Tequila.

Samantha [01:05:55]:
And I would want to kill you.

Lisa [01:05:57]:
Sure you would. Right? For sure you would. All right. You want to have. You want to listen to the last clips? It might just be one. I don't know. It could be many. Beats me.

Lisa [01:06:05]:
It's a surprise. Enjoy. Friends of the podcast. I hated coloring. Right? I hated the pressure of staying in the lines. I hated the confinement. It seemed like it came with a lot of rules. I felt like my mom liked to color more than I did.

Lisa [01:06:19]:
And then it wasn't fun because it's her thing to do, not mine. Yeah, but there was light, right?

Samantha [01:06:25]:
Oh, yes.

Lisa [01:06:26]:
And I feel that light bright, that beautiful color beaded game that you just followed a pattern, made every kid feel crap.

Samantha [01:06:35]:
And you know what? Thinking about it now as an adult, what are you doing? Poking a piece of black paper that you can do anything with, right? And all you're going to do is stare at your finished work and then take them all off.

Lisa [01:06:48]:
You got to take them off, and the paper goes in the garbage. You can't even save that paper.

Samantha [01:06:52]:
Like, who? Whoever invented that. Smart. Everybody had to have a light bright, right?

Lisa [01:06:57]:
Just like Spirograph. What did we do with that? We made circles. We made circles.

Samantha [01:07:05]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [01:07:06]:
For sure. We just made circles.

Samantha [01:07:09]:
Just dumb, too.

Lisa [01:07:10]:
Young people are doing it. Old people are doing it it. Middle aged people are doing it. Men are doing it. I need people to stop doing it. I need people to step up, and when they have a question or they need something done, use your goddamn word. That's what I need. I need you to use your words, people.

Lisa [01:07:31]:
That's why God gave us a mouth. Use your words. If I'm at the grocery store and I'm looking at the bananas and you happen to want to look at the same bananas, I can feel your presence. But unless you say, excuse me, I'm not moving, because guess what? Feeling your presence does not bother me whatsoever. I don't give a. I need you to use your words. Excuse me, sir. I'm gonna need you to use your words.

Lisa [01:07:56]:
Right?

Samantha [01:07:58]:
I love this. I shake my head.

Lisa [01:07:59]:
I have it, too, right? I need you to use your words.

Samantha [01:08:04]:
Oh, my God. I shake my head at the very same thing.

Lisa [01:08:08]:
The expectations of having to be an overachiever in my mid. In the. In my middle stages of my life are ridiculous.

Samantha [01:08:25]:
If you expect me at my age to be a overachiever.

Lisa [01:08:30]:
It's not happening. It's not happening.

Samantha [01:08:33]:
Not happening. You should have caught me in my 20s.

Lisa [01:08:36]:
I didn't even really care about being an overachiever then.

Samantha [01:08:39]:
Oh, God.

Lisa [01:08:40]:
I. I'm fully based on my personality. You love me for the package and for the personality, not for everything else. Christ.

Samantha [01:08:49]:
Well, if that doesn't define you in.

Lisa [01:08:53]:
My heart, I want to be an overachiever. It's not gonna happen. Yeah.

Samantha [01:08:57]:
In my heart, I would love to be an overachiever as well, but that requires more work.

Lisa [01:09:01]:
I'd also like to be a size 4, and apparently that's not gonna happen. Yeah, no kidding, right? I want to not have snacks after supper. That apparently isn't happening. There's a lot of not happening that I wish would.

Samantha [01:09:14]:
Yep.

Lisa [01:09:14]:
Including overachieving. Not happening.

Samantha [01:09:17]:
Not happening.

Lisa [01:09:17]:
Can you use it in a sentence? Let's pretend we're in a spelling.

Samantha [01:09:19]:
No, it's going to use it in a sentence.

Lisa [01:09:23]:
My mom uses the star and niece in her soup.

Samantha [01:09:26]:
It's a. It's like a herb thing. I don't know what to tell you. I've never used it because. I don't know. You can't eat it. You take it out.

Lisa [01:09:33]:
Oh, okay. Is it like a bay leaf?

Samantha [01:09:35]:
Yes, it's like a bay leaf. I knew. I knew that you were gonna. Big correlate. Big coral. I saw the smoke come out of your ears. I. I can't.

Samantha [01:09:53]:
It's only Tuesday.

Lisa [01:09:56]:
And that's friends is why I ask questions.

Samantha [01:10:01]:
How do I survive this?

Lisa [01:10:03]:
I'm not even watching my thousand pound sister anymore. Because there's not enough wrong reasons now. Not even enough wrong reasons to watch it.

Samantha [01:10:12]:
No, because they're getting too healthy. Is that it?

Lisa [01:10:14]:
Right. Because now they're gonna get the skin removed and then they're just normal people again. And I'm like, oh, God, enough.

Samantha [01:10:20]:
You're so.

Lisa [01:10:21]:
Time to wrap it up.

Samantha [01:10:22]:
Oh, my God, you're horrible.

Lisa [01:10:27]:
It's really bad.

Samantha [01:10:28]:
It's really bad.

Lisa [01:10:30]:

We sound ridiculous in the best way possible. Because if it's making me laugh and I was there.

Lisa [01:12:36]:
Right.

Samantha [01:12:37]:
It will definitely make you laugh.

Lisa [01:12:39]:

Samantha [01:16:07]:
Who are you trading me for?

Lisa [01:16:08]:
Not your Kelsey. Not your Kelsey.

Samantha [01:16:10]:
