The 80s Dexatrim Diet: Full Speed Ahead

Lisa [00:00:06]:
So here's a blast from the past. I'm in the mall the other day getting some Christmas shopping done. What do I see? Oh, my God, Samantha. It's a hickory farm stand.

Samantha [00:00:15]:
Why?

Lisa [00:00:17]:
Why? When did they come back? Like, this Gen X girl stopped dead in her tracks. Shuddered and, like, had, like, this crazy flashback to, like, 1975. 1980.

Samantha [00:00:31]:
Oh, my God. It was the epitome when you got Hickory Farms from someone. It was like, jackpot.

Lisa [00:00:38]:
That meant Christmas, right?

Samantha [00:00:40]:
Totally.

Lisa [00:00:41]:
It should go to gift. But it was. It was classy. My mom sent Hickory. Grandma got a Hickory Farms. Uncle Bob got a Hickory Farm. Great Nana got a hickory. Everybody got a Hickory Farms back in the day because it was the classy thing to do.

Samantha [00:00:57]:
I don't get that at all.

Lisa [00:00:59]:
Were you a family that hickory farmed?

Samantha [00:01:01]:
No, because I would. I'd be like.

Lisa [00:01:05]:
Right. Because now. Here's the thing. At the age of 55, we realize, dear Hickory Farms, there's a problem here.

Samantha [00:01:13]:
You didn't refrigerate anything.

Lisa [00:01:16]:
And I think you just pack it up on the 26th and put it in a big box and bring it back out. That's gross. Nothing was ever refrigerated.

Samantha [00:01:26]:
Like, all those meats. And didn't they have cheese too?

Lisa [00:01:30]:
Cheese and meat. It's like. And mustards. And I get the crackers. Okay.

Samantha [00:01:39]:
I even get the jars of, like, jellies and mustards and things.

Lisa [00:01:43]:
I guess, technically, Right. If it's a preserve, it doesn't. Nothing happens till it's opened.

Samantha [00:01:48]:
Right.

Lisa [00:01:48]:
But the meat and the cheese, the sausage stick, year after year after year in said Hickory Farms box.

Samantha [00:01:57]:
I remember. I remember, like, a long time ago eating something from Hickory Farms. And I'm like.

Lisa [00:02:05]:
You know why? You know why you felt like that? Because it's mushy meat.

Samantha [00:02:09]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:02:09]:
Mushy meat.

Samantha [00:02:10]:
It's just. Oh.

Lisa [00:02:12]:
It's pressed. Mushy meat that never sees. It never sees a refrigerator.

Samantha [00:02:18]:
No. And it should. And the cheese as well. Like how. No offense, I can't eat warm cheese.

Lisa [00:02:24]:
Oh.

Samantha [00:02:24]:
Unless it's meant to be warm or it's warmed up. Like a good Brie or.

Lisa [00:02:29]:
Right. Like a good Brie.

Samantha [00:02:30]:
Like something like that. I am not eating warm cheese.

Lisa [00:02:34]:
No. So, dear Hickory Farms. Right. Like, what are you doing now? Although I will say now that there looked like there was a little cooler. But not. I'm still. I think you've just brought it out because the world says you should have it.

Samantha [00:02:45]:
Yeah. It's wrong. It's really wrong.

Lisa [00:02:47]:
I don't think you're using it. And even if you're using it now, what about all those years that you didn't use it and everybody thought it was cool and classy?

Samantha [00:02:54]:
Why? We didn't know any better, Lisa. We just didn't know any better.

Lisa [00:02:58]:
Yes, that's right. You know what? Totally right. I'd like to think my mom knew better, but this is the lady that probably was still opening up, you know, ham. The click with the can opener, like the. With the key, and the roast beef in a can with the cow on it. They didn't know better.

Samantha [00:03:14]:
It's because the 70s, the 60s and the 70s was all about canned food and preserved food. Right. Like, it was, like, a big deal. And now we're kind of switching back to, we shouldn't eat that, and that's bad for you. And.

Lisa [00:03:25]:
Right. Because now, apparently we care.

Samantha [00:03:27]:
Let's go natural. Or, like, regular food.

Lisa [00:03:31]:
You mean, let's go to regular food, perhaps. Right? Oh, my goodness. Hello, friends of the podcast.

Samantha [00:03:37]:
Hello, everybody.

Lisa [00:03:39]:
You know, I just thought. I don't know. I don't get that. Hickory Farm.

Samantha [00:03:43]:
No, we don't. And I think that we have so much to talk about right now. We have so much to get into.

Lisa [00:03:50]:
We got lots, right?

Samantha [00:03:51]:
We do.

Lisa [00:03:52]:
We got lots. You know what I want to talk about this week? I'm not going to say that it's menopausal issues, right? Because I feel I'm through it, but I'm having some sleep problems, and I need to unpack it. I need to unpack it.

Samantha [00:04:06]:
I. I need to unpack hair.

Lisa [00:04:11]:
Hair.

Samantha [00:04:12]:
Not hair in your head.

Lisa [00:04:14]:
Okay. Hi. Hi. Hi. I don't know if I need to know about your other hair.

Samantha [00:04:17]:
Hair and other places.

Lisa [00:04:18]:
Where am I?

Samantha [00:04:19]:
Hair in other places.

Lisa [00:04:20]:
Oh, good Lord.

Samantha [00:04:21]:
Hair another place. That's a bad rap.

Lisa [00:04:23]:
We just talked about crappy 70s familiar. Now we're gonna talk about you being hairy. All right? Oh, it's not me being hairy, just hair in general.

Samantha [00:04:32]:
Hair in general.

Lisa [00:04:33]:
All right. Just hair in general. Okay. But you know what else, though, I.

Samantha [00:04:35]:
Want to talk about?

Lisa [00:04:36]:
Crossed my mind. I saw something on the TikTok about it. Remember the diet pills of yesteryear?

Samantha [00:04:43]:
Yes. Our mothers would know that very well.

Lisa [00:04:46]:
Sure they would, right? Sure. And lots of the daughters do, too.

Samantha [00:04:50]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:04:51]:
It was a game the whole family could play, right?

Samantha [00:04:54]:
Oh, God, yes. I think so.

Lisa [00:04:56]:
You know, but you know what? First off, as I'm out and about, just kind of doing my little Christmas errands, you know, I love goodies, right? I love holiday Goodies. We've talked about this for years. Yeah. I'll eat after eights for breakfast and icy squares for supper. Right? Meal of a champion. Look at me go. Right? Throw in the odd toffee Fae. Doesn't matter.

Lisa [00:05:19]:
Right? I'm just gonna be all over it. However, I'm shaking my head a little bit at the pro price of Christmas chocolates.

Samantha [00:05:28]:
Oh, they have gone up, hasn't.

Lisa [00:05:31]:
Yeah, the package hasn't changed. No, but the price has gone up. And I get inflation, blah, blah, blah. I get it. However, it's Christmas. It's supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year.

Samantha [00:05:44]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:05:45]:
I can't afford the chocolates. I can't afford the chocolates. Right.

Samantha [00:05:51]:
I believe there's there at one point where we not going potentially into a chocolate shortage. Which is why chocolate got more expensive.

Lisa [00:05:58]:
Yeah, but wasn't that five years ago with COVID I don't know.

Samantha [00:06:01]:
I feel.

Lisa [00:06:01]:
Toilet paper bounced back. Bananas bounced back.

Samantha [00:06:04]:
Are you kiding? I just paid $13 for toilet paper. It didn't bounce back.

Lisa [00:06:09]:
Okay, but are you using the one plyer, the two plier, The.

Samantha [00:06:11]:
It's like the good stuff.

Lisa [00:06:13]:
Three ply?

Samantha [00:06:14]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:06:15]:
Well then hi. Of course. Right.

Samantha [00:06:17]:
What do you want?

Lisa [00:06:17]:
Like you want sandpaper on your ass.

Samantha [00:06:19]:
Your butt deserves good things, does it not?

Lisa [00:06:21]:
Yeah. So don't complain about it.

Samantha [00:06:23]:
Oh my God.

Lisa [00:06:25]:
Right? Love your backside. Treat it well.

Samantha [00:06:29]:
Oh God.

Lisa [00:06:29]:
And it will one day treat you well too. But I'm just saying, right? The price of chocolates, it's crazy.

Samantha [00:06:34]:
So you're shaking your head at the price of chocolates?

Lisa [00:06:37]:
Yeah, the price of Christmas chocolates. Right. I want to have Christmas treats. I want to have nice things for Christmas. And those include the treats.

Samantha [00:06:44]:
So are you gonna.

Lisa [00:06:45]:
Are you gonna buy any treats this week?

Samantha [00:06:47]:
Are you gonna do like everybody else and buy them after Christmas on sale?

Lisa [00:06:52]:
No, I'm not going to do that. You know what? They're losing my business. Right? I'm not. Because I don't want to buy. Right, because you can buy like the fake after eights. I don't want that in my life.

Samantha [00:07:00]:
You know what, Lisa? They're going to be. The chocolate companies will be like, oh, damn, Lisa didn't buy from us this year.

Lisa [00:07:06]:
Sales in Saskatoon appear to be down. Right?

Samantha [00:07:08]:
Yeah. Lisa did not.

Lisa [00:07:10]:
All those stats. They can see all that shit, right? This household did not buy. They only bought one box of toffee Fae. Huh? Interesting, right? Just.

Samantha [00:07:21]:
I don't think they care.

Lisa [00:07:23]:
Well, they should care, right? Because I love Christmas treats. And I'm shaking my head at the fact that they're over expensive. All right, okay, I get it, Ms. Money Bags. You don't care. You don't care.

Samantha [00:07:33]:
I don't, I don't buy chocolate.

Lisa [00:07:35]:
You don't buy any Christmas treats. It's not a Christmas treat that you buy.

Samantha [00:07:38]:
I get my baking from my mother and I don't buy chocolate.

Lisa [00:07:41]:
I just finished baking. Oh, I just finished doing my chocolate chip. My chocolate chip crinkle cups.

Samantha [00:07:52]:
Yes. I even have photographic evidence. Folks. She did actually do it.

Lisa [00:07:55]:
I did it. I did it. That's the type of girl I am. That I could still afford a bag of chips and some semi sweet chocolate chips. It's. That is still an affordable Christmas treat.

Samantha [00:08:08]:
Just like your mama made, right?

Lisa [00:08:10]:
Just like my mama.

Samantha [00:08:13]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:08:14]:
I don't know, Samantha.

Samantha [00:08:15]:
Well, you know, I have been perusing tik tok because apparently it's going to go by the wayside, but.

Lisa [00:08:21]:
Okay, why do you keep saying this?

Samantha [00:08:23]:
Okay, but anyways, that's not my point. I'm shaking my head at the, at me because I stay to watch people do the. Those stupid tik tok dance trends. And they're all the same and I know the music and you know what they're about to do, but for some reason I, I stop scrolling. And I'm looking at them. I'm like, that's not very good. And I'm like, why am I being judgmental? I'm not doing a tik tok trend. I don't give a.

Lisa [00:08:51]:
Remember when I wanted you to do when the Sun Go Down? You would do it.

Samantha [00:08:56]:
No, I'm not ever doing a tik tok trend because one, I'm not a.

Lisa [00:09:00]:
Dancer and two, what dance are they doing right now?

Samantha [00:09:02]:
Which I don't know, it's. It's to some music. I don't know. I keep seeing it and. Anyways, but that's not the point. It's not the trend. It's not the actual dance trend. It's the fact that I stop at every one of them and still watch them and I'm like, what am I doing? This is ridiculous.

Samantha [00:09:17]:
It's the same thing. They're not doing anything different. They're just simply repeating the dance over.

Lisa [00:09:23]:
And over and over again like that. That's what the tik tok does.

Samantha [00:09:28]:
It's bizarre. And I think it's rotting my brain.

Lisa [00:09:31]:
I think your brain was rotting way before the tick tock.

Samantha [00:09:34]:
No, that's not very nice.

Lisa [00:09:36]:
Just, it's not that I'm not being very nice. I'm just being very nice. I'm just stating an option.

Samantha [00:09:40]:
You've interrupted me. You've.

Lisa [00:09:43]:
You're, you're.

Samantha [00:09:45]:
You're being like rude to me right now.

Lisa [00:09:47]:
Why is that rude?

Samantha [00:09:48]:
That's so rude.

Lisa [00:09:50]:
How's that rude?

Samantha [00:09:51]:
You know what? I don't know about this.

Lisa [00:09:53]:
It's not even rude. It's not rude. It's just an observation. Just a friendly.

Samantha [00:09:58]:
It's an observation. Okay. Sloping shoulders. That's an observation.

Lisa [00:10:02]:
Really? I know, because look at it again. So much shoulder here. No shoulder here.

Samantha [00:10:08]:
It's your shirt. But don't adjust it because nobody needs to watch that again.

Lisa [00:10:12]:
But it's that. But it's not my shirt.

Samantha [00:10:14]:
It was bad enough the first time.

Lisa [00:10:17]:
Right? Okay, so that was being rude.

Samantha [00:10:19]:
Now I'm being rude because I'm being rude back.

Lisa [00:10:22]:
Okay, you know what? Apparently we're friends here.

Samantha [00:10:26]:
Yeah. In case we. In case anybody wants to know, we've been best friends for plus 20 odd years.

Lisa [00:10:31]:
Apparently a lot. We do say we fight like a married couple.

Samantha [00:10:36]:
But we are not.

Lisa [00:10:38]:
But we are not. We are not. But we are not. Okay, listen, I gotta get into this. I gotta talk.

Samantha [00:10:44]:
Okay.

Lisa [00:10:44]:
You know how I'm anti menopause right now, right?

Samantha [00:10:49]:
I don't know why? Because you're in the thick of it.

Lisa [00:10:51]:
I don't think I am. How.

Samantha [00:10:53]:
Yeah, I think you are.

Lisa [00:10:54]:
I'm having sleep issues. And again, I don't know if it's sleep issues or if it's my pillow or what. It is, right? Like, Karen Carpenter couldn't help me the other night. Like, do you know how many times I listen to. Don't you remember you told me you love me, baby? Nothing. Still wide away.

Samantha [00:11:13]:
Yeah, that's called issues with sleep. Because of menopause, right?

Lisa [00:11:18]:
Yeah. I was getting a little bit warm because I thought I was getting worked up because I couldn't sleep. Right? And then I would listen to rainy days and Mondays always get me down. Still wide awake. And I'm like, I need a new pillow. This is not working for me at all.

Samantha [00:11:34]:
Night sweats and get. And staying.

Lisa [00:11:36]:
Calling it sweats. Not sweatshirt, not sweats. I'm not saying sweats.

Samantha [00:11:41]:
Are you getting heated? What's happening then?

Lisa [00:11:44]:
Because I'm getting mad that I can't sleep.

Samantha [00:11:47]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:11:48]:
So I'm getting worked up.

Samantha [00:11:50]:
Are you getting a. Is it a flush? Is it a full flush?

Lisa [00:11:54]:
I'm not gonna comment.

Samantha [00:11:56]:
Are you hot from the tip of your head to the tip of Your toes?

Lisa [00:11:59]:
No, I feel like I'm being baited. Because when you have one foot outside of the COVID you're not hot.

Samantha [00:12:05]:
Because are you. Are you like. Are you like, upper body hot?

Lisa [00:12:10]:
I'm just hot. HRT hot.

Samantha [00:12:13]:
Yeah. No, you're. It's menopause. You know what? For someone who is the same age as me, you're full blown denial about the fact that you have menopausal symptoms.

Lisa [00:12:24]:
I don't.

Samantha [00:12:25]:
Yes, you do.

Lisa [00:12:27]:
Don't. Not compared to you.

Samantha [00:12:28]:
You do.

Lisa [00:12:29]:
Not compared to you.

Samantha [00:12:30]:
Oh, my God. You're cranky on a good day.

Lisa [00:12:34]:
I'm cranky on a good day because of my surroundings sometimes and those around.

Samantha [00:12:39]:
Me that don't point your finger at me.

Lisa [00:12:43]:
Pointing my finger.

Samantha [00:12:43]:
Point your finger at me.

Lisa [00:12:45]:
There's my Peter pointer pointing at you.

Samantha [00:12:48]:
You don't even know how to point like.

Lisa [00:12:50]:
It's not bad, though. Hey, that's not bad. I'm just saying, Right? Yeah, I can be moody like the rest of them, but I don't feel that I'm going through the full thing like you. You're always like, like complaining about it.

Samantha [00:13:04]:
I'm not com. It's a fact. It's not complaining. It's fact.

Lisa [00:13:08]:
But yeah, here you are in your big, heavy sweater because today I'm cold. So where's your. Where's your menopause right now?

Samantha [00:13:15]:
It doesn't happen. Oh, my God. It. Oh, my God. I hate you sometimes because when you. When you decide that you want to do with nothing, you want nothing to do with what's happening to you, you're in constant and continual denial. That means everyone else around you that could potentially also have the same thing. You are also denying them that as well.

Samantha [00:13:40]:
No, you don't. You just. That's just you. Blah, blah, blah.

Lisa [00:13:44]:
And I'm skirting around the issue.

Samantha [00:13:47]:
You're annoying.

Lisa [00:13:48]:
I just asked you a simple question. Where's your menopause at? Where's your menopause right now?

Samantha [00:13:52]:
Me all the time. Lisa.

Lisa [00:13:54]:
What's it doing when I wake up.

Samantha [00:13:55]:
In the middle of the night when I have a night sweat, when I want to punch you in the head?

Lisa [00:14:00]:
You're cranky for no reason.

Samantha [00:14:02]:
So many things.

Lisa [00:14:03]:
All those things right when my.

Samantha [00:14:05]:
My joints ache and all of a sudden I'm itchy for no reason.

Lisa [00:14:09]:
All right, I forgot you got that itchiness. I forgot you got it. It's a total winter itch that people talk about.

Samantha [00:14:13]:
No, it's not the winter itch.

Lisa [00:14:15]:
No, I was thinking about your. Itch the other day actually.

Samantha [00:14:18]:
Oh my God.

Lisa [00:14:19]:
Because I read an article about the winter itch and I'm like, I bet you that's the itch. She's talking.

Samantha [00:14:22]:
That's not the issue, Lisa.

Lisa [00:14:24]:
Probably right? Or the. Yeah, like, because that's the popular one right now is the winter one. Okay, just name.

Samantha [00:14:30]:
All right.

Lisa [00:14:30]:
Just saying.

Samantha [00:14:31]:
I'm not gonna. I'm not. I'm not arguing about this.

Lisa [00:14:34]:
Because there's nothing to argue about when you're wrong. When you're not right, Samantha. There's no argument. Right.

Samantha [00:14:39]:
You're so wrong.

Lisa [00:14:41]:
Not even trying to pick a fight here.

Samantha [00:14:42]:
I'm not even sure. I'm not even sure why we're arguing about something that is an actual fact.

Lisa [00:14:47]:
I just asked where it was.

Samantha [00:14:48]:
It's like, you're a denier.

Lisa [00:14:50]:
How am I a denier?

Samantha [00:14:51]:
Are you a denier? What?

Lisa [00:14:53]:
I don't even know what that means.

Samantha [00:14:54]:
You're a denier.

Lisa [00:14:55]:
What does that mean? I don't know exactly. Right? So if I'm a denier, then I'm just denying.

Samantha [00:15:03]:
Friends of the podcast. You know what I mean? When she's a denier, don't you?

Lisa [00:15:07]:
What is a denier? Is that because you think I can't read? Is that what you think?

Samantha [00:15:14]:
Yes, that's it, Lisa.

Lisa [00:15:16]:
I can read. I just asked one simple friendship question.

Samantha [00:15:19]:
Okay.

Lisa [00:15:19]:
Where's your menopause? It's like that commercial from the Age.

Samantha [00:15:22]:
Where's.

Lisa [00:15:22]:
Do you know where your kids are? Where's your menopause at?

Samantha [00:15:25]:
Where's your menopause? All right, well, that's all. Uh huh. But you know what I want to know? I want to know why we can't be hairy like a man. Why is it. Why is it in our society today, in our society today that we cannot have hair like a man? Like, we're constantly pulling the chins out of our hair. You know that, the hair off our chins, you know, the extra mustache thing that's now growing because your hormones are all crazy. And then, you know, your armpits have hair, your legs have hair, your whole body has freaking hair and you want.

Lisa [00:15:57]:
To just let it grow.

Samantha [00:15:58]:
Well, I'm just wondering, like, why can't we. Who decided that we needed to shave?

Lisa [00:16:03]:
I think a lot of people did. A lot of people came around in 1980 and decided that people needed to shave.

Samantha [00:16:13]:
Well, was it a man who decided, like, who came up with a razor and then applied it to. To women? Right?

Lisa [00:16:20]:
Because you know what, here's the thing, right?

Samantha [00:16:22]:
Women were not shaving themselves back in the day?

Lisa [00:16:26]:
No, like back when we were like, like, you know, like the cavemen women. I think we came very. I think we came pre hair or.

Samantha [00:16:33]:
In the 1800s, early 1900s. When did we start shaving things?

Lisa [00:16:38]:
Well, I don't know because back then we would have all just had our hair up in a bun like Mrs. Ingalls from the, from the. From Little House on the Prairie. But I'm sure there would have been. I'm sure nobody was like, thinking about like shaving their armpits, right?

Samantha [00:16:52]:
Because they had other things to do. Like, I don't know, stay alive.

Lisa [00:16:55]:
Like stay alive and like, not die during childbirth. Right. Maybe that's the thing, right? If you lived during childbirth, you were exempt from shaving.

Samantha [00:17:04]:
I think that back as soon as we started to evolve, right? And we started to make things and.

Lisa [00:17:11]:
Like when we started to stand up.

Samantha [00:17:12]:
Straight, it was more in the 1900s, probably Lisa, things started to get shaved. But who started this? Who said women have to be shaved?

Lisa [00:17:22]:
I don't know. I think that. I think that if women have to be shaved, why can't men be shaved?

Samantha [00:17:27]:
Men are shaved.

Lisa [00:17:28]:
But then lots of men. How many do? Are men keeping up with their, with all their. Man. They don't.

Samantha [00:17:34]:
Man. They don't manscape their balls. They don't manscape their manly area. They don't shave their legs, man. Shave their armpits. They don't shave their arm.

Lisa [00:17:42]:
Only became. Right. Men's don't. Right. They have a hairy chin. They just grow a beard. And for some reason, men seem to think it's cool to have the beard underneath their chin.

Samantha [00:17:51]:
I don't.

Lisa [00:17:52]:
Yeah, like, why are we growing a beard here?

Samantha [00:17:55]:
You know what I. You know what I've seen like Luke.

Lisa [00:17:58]:
Brian, why you got your beard here?

Samantha [00:17:59]:
Like, why is there like little, little mustaches and I don't know if I enjoy a mustache.

Lisa [00:18:08]:
I don't.

Samantha [00:18:08]:
Like, just on its own. I think it's creepy on young men for some reason on young men, I think.

Lisa [00:18:15]:
Except in November when they're growing it for the mo.

Samantha [00:18:18]:
Yeah, but like, who are you fueling with that little mustache?

Lisa [00:18:21]:
Like, like it's just weird.

Samantha [00:18:23]:
A grown ass man. That's. That's fine, maybe, but like young, young men in their 19, like in the teens and into early 20s, and I'm.

Lisa [00:18:31]:
Like, they're just happy to be growing their face.

Samantha [00:18:33]:
Your mustache looks odd.

Lisa [00:18:35]:
Like my nephew, he's like 21, he doesn't shave. He grows a full beard because not because he likes it. Cuz he's hairy and he's too lazy to shave. He's like, I'm not keeping up with that. He just grows a beard. See?

Samantha [00:18:49]:
And that's totally fine because he's decided, I don't want to shave. Because he has a choice. Women. Women don't. And if we don't shave, we get ridiculed for that. Right? Oh, look at your mustache. Oh, look at your hair chin.

Lisa [00:19:01]:
Oh, look at this town that had a bearded lady.

Samantha [00:19:04]:
Oh, well, there you go.

Lisa [00:19:06]:
Right? Everybody from where I grew up knew there was a bearded lady in town.

Samantha [00:19:10]:
And, and was everybody nice to her?

Lisa [00:19:14]:
People were nice to her because I think she was the lady who gave us our driver's license. So we were nice to her for sure. But everybody knew, everybody knew that she was the bearded lady. Right. I didn't start this just so the world knows.

Samantha [00:19:31]:
This is so wrong.

Lisa [00:19:32]:
It was so wrong. Right. She was really nice lad.

Samantha [00:19:35]:
But we make fun of women who don't shave their armpits and we kind of go, ooh, you don't shave your legs, like, totally. But if that's, that's our natural state, like, that's how so.

Lisa [00:19:45]:
Right. Right from the beginning we've been told we have to alter ourselves.

Samantha [00:19:50]:
Absolutely right.

Lisa [00:19:51]:
Because I'm going to assume that because some dude. Dudes, I'm calling you on the carpet here. I'm going to assume that some dude didn't want a hairy woman.

Samantha [00:20:04]:
Yeah, probably.

Lisa [00:20:05]:
And you know what? At some point, how did they even know any different? Maybe I don't want a hairy man. Maybe I want somebody that shaves every single day. Never happening.

Samantha [00:20:16]:
Yeah, right.

Lisa [00:20:17]:
It's okay for them to let it go on holidays. Oh, it's the playoffs. Let's grow playoff beards.

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

Lisa [00:20:27]:
But it won't be on our face because I don't think we're programmed like that.

Samantha [00:20:30]:
Well, because, like, I could probably let some chin hairs grow, right? And have them waggle in the wind. That ought to be fun, right?

Lisa [00:20:37]:
I get a little fuzzy so I could let my fuzz grow a bit bigger. That's my playoff fuzz. Right? Why can't we? They get to grow these big crazy beards that are not very attractive. Some of them like those. Remember the duck men from that TV show?

Samantha [00:20:54]:
Yes. Oh my God, they were so right.

Lisa [00:20:57]:
Like, and then yet had hot wives. Why is that possible?

Samantha [00:21:02]:
Like, can you imagine the that was in that beard and how like, dirty it potentially was?

Lisa [00:21:07]:
Lunches, suppers, breakfasts. Yeah, disgusting. No thank you. Thank you. Right. I mean, I'll keep doing my part as a woman because that's what we've been told we have to do.

Samantha [00:21:19]:
Yeah. I mean, I don't necessarily love a hairy armpit, you know, with an oh, right. And I, you know, know. And as we get older and just for those women who might be younger listening to our podcast, as you get older, the hair on your legs starts to go away.

Lisa [00:21:33]:
It does start to go away, or at least fades to the point that you're only going to see it at the lake when the sun hits and you're like, oh, I do still have hairy legs. But I'm just with the girls. It's okay.

Samantha [00:21:43]:
It's okay.

Lisa [00:21:44]:
Yeah, it's kind of funny. Okay. Do you remember. Do you remember when you could go to your local pharmacist and buy speed in the form of a diet? Remember the Dexatrim days?

Samantha [00:21:57]:
The Dexatrim, right.

Lisa [00:21:59]:
And just blister pack speed. Blister packs of speed at the local pharmacy.

Samantha [00:22:05]:
Oh, yeah, you got. People were so wound up with that stuff.

Lisa [00:22:09]:
Total speed.

Samantha [00:22:11]:
I don't know how. How was it ever FDA approved?

Lisa [00:22:14]:
I don't know how did. And I don't. And how did we ever miss out on that? Like, how did we not know that it was. I guess we were a little young.

Samantha [00:22:21]:
We were, too.

Lisa [00:22:22]:
You're too young. And I hate to say this, but back. Back in my younger days, I wasn't needing the Dexa trim neither. But I tell you, if you gave me Dexa trim now, I'd be pretty excited. I think.

Samantha [00:22:35]:
Yeah, I think so.

Lisa [00:22:36]:
I think I'd be all over that shit.

Samantha [00:22:38]:
Oh, God. They're never coming. That's never coming back.

Lisa [00:22:41]:
No, because now it's illegal. And you go to jail. Right now you go to jail for taking that. Right. 5.99. But yeah, a box of 24.

Samantha [00:22:50]:
Okay, but do you. Okay, but speaking of Dexatrim, do you remember the wake up pill with the rooster on the COVID I got me.

Lisa [00:22:56]:
Through my university exam? Caffeine pills.

Samantha [00:23:03]:
That was like.

Lisa [00:23:04]:
That was pep.

Samantha [00:23:05]:
Yeah, that was. That was our version of the energy.

Lisa [00:23:10]:
Drink or the energy drink. Absolutely. Right. It was the Red Bull. Right, but yet. But the difference is, is that we lived. We still had a little bit of fear in us. Right? Like, so we didn't want to take too many of them because you just weren't sure how wired you were going to be.

Samantha [00:23:25]:
Oh, my God. Could you imagine?

Lisa [00:23:27]:
Right?

Samantha [00:23:27]:
Those caffeine pills will make your heart race.

Lisa [00:23:29]:
I think Kids nowadays, they would just take them by the handful, just get through school, dressed out. And I got exams, taking my pills, right?

Samantha [00:23:38]:
Oh, you'd be so like, hi, how you doing? How's it going? I'm doing this.

Lisa [00:23:41]:
How are.

Samantha [00:23:42]:
What are you doing? Let's go play ball. No, let's go eat. Like, oh, my God.

Lisa [00:23:46]:
It would be the same, like, when I take too many cold pills, daytime.

Samantha [00:23:49]:
Cold pills at night, which are not meant to be taken at night.

Lisa [00:23:53]:
And now I know. Yeah, it's now I know. Friends of the podcast, here's what happened, right? I had a cold a while back and I took. I don't like to take the nighttime pills. Cause I don't like the grogginess. So I took two daytime cold pills and didn't feel like four and a half, five hours later that they were really working. So I took one more and I was instantly wired. And then when I was at work and I was telling my.

Lisa [00:24:16]:
My. My co workers about this, they were like, you. It's like drinking like 30 cups of coffee. It's all caffeine. I'm like, well, explains a lot. Explain. And that feeling didn't wear off till the end of the day.

Samantha [00:24:29]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:24:30]:
I felt a little behind, right? A little, like, little desensitized to everything. Hey. Oh, my God. Like a dog in boots. That's what I felt like.

Samantha [00:24:37]:
You know, I think you might be the only person who doesn't want to take nighttime medicine because it makes you drowsy.

Lisa [00:24:44]:
I hate that feeling.

Samantha [00:24:45]:
But you're sleeping, so who cares?

Lisa [00:24:48]:
I know, but I don't. I don't like it. I don't like. I don't like the forced sleep. Right.

Samantha [00:24:54]:
Are you seriously.

Lisa [00:24:56]:
Seriously.

Samantha [00:24:57]:
This is coming from the person who took the gravel to go to bed.

Lisa [00:25:01]:
Well, that's different, right?

Samantha [00:25:02]:
How is that any different?

Lisa [00:25:04]:
It's the same. Different, huh? Yeah, it just seems better than a cold medication.

Samantha [00:25:09]:
It's not. It's the same thing.

Lisa [00:25:12]:
I don't know. I mean, it's different, right? It's like a robaxa set. A muscle relaxant. I don't mind that either.

Samantha [00:25:17]:
Okay, so you're okay with feeling drowsy with the muscle relaxant?

Lisa [00:25:21]:
Yeah.

Samantha [00:25:22]:
You're okay with the drowsiness of a gravel, But, God, when it comes to.

Lisa [00:25:26]:
Nighttime meds, I will not do that, okay? I will not participate.

Samantha [00:25:32]:
Do you hear that? Do you hear.

Lisa [00:25:35]:
I hear me.

Samantha [00:25:36]:
The insanity in that.

Lisa [00:25:37]:
I don't hear that part.

Samantha [00:25:38]:
No, no.

Lisa [00:25:39]:
Okay. No, that part. I don't hear well, at least you'll.

Samantha [00:25:42]:
Stop taking daytime cold medicine.

Lisa [00:25:44]:
You know, that was a horrible feeling.

Samantha [00:25:46]:
To the point where you buzzed for the whole day.

Lisa [00:25:49]:
For the whole day. Right. Just, like, was the worst feeling ever. Actually, I hated that feeling so much, which makes me think I wouldn't want to be. I wouldn't be a good stoner.

Samantha [00:25:58]:
No, you wouldn't, because you don't like. Because you're not in control. Because now you're just like.

Lisa [00:26:02]:
Right.

Samantha [00:26:03]:
What's going on?

Lisa [00:26:04]:
I don't like that feeling. I think I wouldn't be a pothead because I don't want to be all mellow. Like, what would. What would my drug of choice be? Like, where would I fit in with the drug addicts? Where do I go?

Samantha [00:26:14]:
Well, you're not smoking it, so you're not taking. You're not token on some.

Lisa [00:26:17]:
Can't inhale bud.

Samantha [00:26:19]:
Yeah. You're not inhaling.

Lisa [00:26:20]:
I'm probably not doing needles.

Samantha [00:26:21]:
Because you don't like.

Lisa [00:26:23]:
You know, I don't like.

Samantha [00:26:26]:
No, you might take a. You might pop a pillow. So maybe some lsd.

Lisa [00:26:31]:
Oh, maybe I do some lsd.

Samantha [00:26:33]:
But then you're like. Then you're seeing, like, cartoon characters and everything's fuzzy and. Or maybe Molly. Maybe Molly is more your thing.

Lisa [00:26:42]:
What's Molly?

Samantha [00:26:43]:
Oh, it's pill, so.

Lisa [00:26:45]:
Oh, I could do some Molly. Could do Molly, sure. What's your thing?

Samantha [00:26:50]:
I'm not doing any of that shit.

Lisa [00:26:52]:
No, because you want to be in control.

Samantha [00:26:55]:
I would prefer not to be totally out of it. But I'm also okay taking nighttime medication. But I also know that I shouldn't take two. That I should only take one, because my body doesn't. My body doesn't react well to it.

Lisa [00:27:09]:
Samantha follows the instructions on the pill bottle.

Samantha [00:27:11]:
I. God forbid. I'm not the only one, Lisa. Only you have decided that. You decide how much.

Lisa [00:27:17]:
Because I think it's based on body weight.

Samantha [00:27:19]:
No, it's not. That's not even a thing.

Lisa [00:27:22]:
I feel it is.

Samantha [00:27:23]:
You and John have so much in common when it comes to taking your medication.

Lisa [00:27:26]:
I feel that it's based on body weight. So two Tylenol is good for. All right. Small person, but for me, it could be three.

Samantha [00:27:32]:
Okay.

Lisa [00:27:33]:
That's all I'm saying.

Samantha [00:27:34]:
All right.

Lisa [00:27:35]:
All right.

Samantha [00:27:35]:
Whatever, Lisa. Whatever floats your boat.

Lisa [00:27:37]:
Why are you busting my balls that I don't even have?

Samantha [00:27:40]:
I'm not busting nothing. But I am.

Lisa [00:27:43]:
For the record, they would be manscaped.

Samantha [00:27:45]:
Oh, okay. Thank you.

Lisa [00:27:46]:
It would be.

Samantha [00:27:49]:
So glad you mentioned it. So glad. So, so glad. I am kind of curious, though, that. That you and Mike maybe potentially have set a sleeping trend.

Lisa [00:28:02]:
What?

Samantha [00:28:04]:
Well, I feel like because you guys sleep in separate beds, that you. That 50s trend of having, like, twin.

Lisa [00:28:10]:
Beds, separate rooms, too. We took.

Samantha [00:28:14]:
We.

Lisa [00:28:15]:
We took it one step further.

Samantha [00:28:16]:
Yeah. And you have, like. You've, like, created another trend. Not only do you have the micro hair band, micro hair bang trend happening, but now you've created a 50s sleeping trend.

Lisa [00:28:28]:
Apparently, 2025 is the year of Lisa. We totally. You know what? We are not sleep compatible, because I don't sleep enough. And every time he wakes up, I'm like, hey, how's it going? I need to talk. You know that when we've shared hotel rooms, right?

Samantha [00:28:47]:
And that's why we don't. Because I will kill you. I will kill you.

Lisa [00:28:52]:
Right? And I get up and I. What do I do? I get up to the bathroom, but I got to turn my flashlight on on my phone. And you're like, why is there a light on? I'm like, oh, hey, are you awake?

Samantha [00:29:01]:
And you have to have the clock next to you, and you have to have your watch there because you have to know that. And your phone needs to be there. So you need to know time at all. Time at all. No matter where.

Lisa [00:29:10]:
No, it doesn't matter where.

Samantha [00:29:11]:
No, it doesn't matter where.

Lisa [00:29:12]:
Yeah. So we're not. So Mike and I are not. I guess actually I might not be sleep compatible with many people.

Samantha [00:29:18]:
You are not.

Lisa [00:29:19]:
I am not sleep compatible. Nope.

Samantha [00:29:21]:
Nope.

Lisa [00:29:22]:
Right.

Samantha [00:29:23]:
You could. You could hear a pin drop, and you're like, what?

Lisa [00:29:25]:
What's up? Totally. Right. I'm wide awake. I'm like. It's like when I wake up, I don't wake up tired.

Samantha [00:29:30]:
No, because you were never.

Lisa [00:29:33]:
I never was really sleeping that night. Like, you know, like, if I phone you first thing in the morning, I'm gonna hear your tiredness. You won't hear mine.

Samantha [00:29:44]:
Nope.

Lisa [00:29:45]:
Right. You're like, how's it going?

Samantha [00:29:46]:
And I'm like, why are you calling?

Lisa [00:29:50]:
It's like if we meet at the airport for an early flight, and I'm like, hey. And you're like, what?

Samantha [00:29:56]:
No, no, I'm traveling. I'm better because I'm. Usually I have a coffee in my hand. So. Yes, that's different.

Lisa [00:30:07]:
It's different. But, yeah, you know, it's. There's like. There's such stigma attached to couples that don't sleep in the same room.

Samantha [00:30:15]:
I think that people. I think this is a good trend. I think if you can't handle your spouse, but you love them dearly.

Lisa [00:30:20]:
Right.

Samantha [00:30:21]:
Find new. Find beds. You guys can come together in important moments.

Lisa [00:30:26]:
Totally.

Samantha [00:30:26]:
Okay.

Lisa [00:30:27]:
Don't know where you can meet up. Right. You can still have a drive by. That's fine. It's just the best part of that is, is there's no after chit chat and bot right back to your room.

Samantha [00:30:40]:
Yeah. I'm going to bed. See you later.

Lisa [00:30:42]:
Bye. Bye. But I think it's just like, it doesn't make sense to ruin somebody's sleep. Whether they're snorers, whatever it is. To ruin somebody's sleep, let them ruin your sleep. It's not a big deal, right?

Samantha [00:30:53]:
No.

Lisa [00:30:53]:
Like all the 50s TV shows and just have your own bed.

Samantha [00:30:57]:
Exactly. And, you know, I'm curious, though, Lisa, what would you do to get a Craftmatic bed? Did you mention that the other day?

Lisa [00:31:05]:
I would do almost anything. Right. All I want. Or like, a really nice lazy boy recliner, because I literally sleep sitting up.

Samantha [00:31:14]:
I think you just. A Craftmatic would do it for you.

Lisa [00:31:18]:
No, I don't lie flat down. I sleep pretty much propped up. Like, I'm sitting.

Samantha [00:31:22]:
Yeah, that's pretty much.

Lisa [00:31:24]:
And like, that's why the big joke is about trying to find the right pillow. Mike's like, what are you going to sell the salesperson? I'm looking for a pillow that will prop my head up and. And not move to the weight of my head as I'm sitting up all night long. Like, pretty much. That's the pillow I'm looking for.

Samantha [00:31:40]:
That is the pillow you're looking for.

Lisa [00:31:42]:
Oh, y. Do anything for a craft matic.

Samantha [00:31:44]:
Anything.

Lisa [00:31:45]:
Me one for Christmas?

Samantha [00:31:46]:
No.

Lisa [00:31:48]:
That would have been nice, right?

Samantha [00:31:49]:
No, that's your husband's. That's your husband's goto. He needs to do that.

Lisa [00:31:53]:
They're so expensive.

Samantha [00:31:54]:
Hey, you just got to be nice to your husband. You know how to do that, don't you?

Lisa [00:31:57]:
I'm nice. I'm nice to everybody, actually. Everybody who deserves my niceness gets my niceness. I'm just curious, right? When we used to go out, and I'm sure all families used to do that, it used to be a big deal. You'd get in the car and you'd go for a drive, and you'd look at all the Christmas lights. Right. And you'd have the Christmas music on, and you'd look at all the Christmas lights. My mom and dad love doing that.

Lisa [00:32:26]:
As I think back to the times that you and I have gone out and done that in the past. It makes me wonder, are we really out there watching the Christmas lights because we appreciate the lights and the artistry and the thought, or are we subtly. Have we subtly been taught what judgment looks like? Because that's what I think when. When I think back to being in the backseat of The Monte Carlo 1977 Monte Carlo, I think we were subtly being taught what judgment looks like.

Samantha [00:32:58]:
I think your mother quite good at that.

Lisa [00:33:01]:
Right. And I feel the same when we go looking. It's like you're very. You love them all. And I'm like, no, you're horrible.

Samantha [00:33:09]:
You're like, that's ugly. No, it's not. And because I'm like, it's joyful.

Lisa [00:33:13]:
It's not. It's ugly. It's ugly joy. Right? It's ugly joy. They could do better. That. That's, that's no thought. That was no thought.

Samantha [00:33:22]:
That's. You're so mean.

Lisa [00:33:24]:
But you like, you like such extravagant.

Samantha [00:33:27]:
I like people to throw up on their lawn. I like, I like. I love all. More lights the better. Give me, give me a blow up Santa reindeer. You just. Just do it. Just go.

Lisa [00:33:40]:
We are. You and I are so opposites on what we look for in a Christmas display.

Samantha [00:33:46]:
Yeah. I like all of that because I think it just means that this person has Christmas in their heart.

Lisa [00:33:51]:
I have Christmas in my heart, but I don't need it to have thrown up on my front yard.

Samantha [00:33:55]:
It's because you're raised by your mother.

Lisa [00:33:59]:
You'd have tasteful Christmas in our hearts, dear.

Samantha [00:34:02]:
I remember the inside of our house. The garland was everywhere.

Lisa [00:34:08]:
Oh, yeah, we had that too. Right?

Samantha [00:34:10]:
Like it threw up. The tinsel on the tree was overload. Tinsel? Nobody does tinsel anymore.

Lisa [00:34:16]:
No, no, because it's hard to clean up.

Samantha [00:34:18]:
Well, it's hard to clean and it potentially can catch fire. So.

Lisa [00:34:21]:
And you're. And the pets always ate it. Right. Like we used to take muffin to the. To the vet because little muffin had eate tinsel. Well, she's gonna have to poop it out. The tinsel's bigger than muffin. Right.

Lisa [00:34:33]:
And then there would be the piece and my dad would pick up muffin. Come on, muffin, let's go get this take. Right? And I'm sure my dad's pulling the tinsel, but you couldn't even pull it out of the dog's ass because tinsel could cut you.

Samantha [00:34:44]:
Right. Because it's sharp.

Lisa [00:34:46]:
There's lots of reasons why there's no tinsel.

Samantha [00:34:48]:
Yeah, I just yeah, it's fun, I think.

Lisa [00:34:51]:
Right.

Samantha [00:34:52]:
And you don't even. You didn't even like the really cool light display on Clink Skittle, Clinkskill Avenue or street or whatever.

Lisa [00:34:59]:
I think it's too much.

Samantha [00:35:01]:
Well, they. Good news. They don't do it anymore.

Lisa [00:35:03]:
Good. Because how could they afford it?

Samantha [00:35:05]:
They had singing trees with mute. Like, it was delightful. The lights were coordinated with the music.

Lisa [00:35:11]:
Just imagine if you're their neighbor. How happy are you, miss? I hate being in a grocery store where I feel overcrowded. And then yet all these people are on your block, parked where they can't park.

Samantha [00:35:22]:
Right.

Lisa [00:35:23]:
And all day long there are all evening the lights in your home.

Samantha [00:35:28]:
Well, ask my brother and. And his family because that's what's happening across the street from them this year.

Lisa [00:35:34]:
Right. Christmas needs to be tasteful.

Samantha [00:35:38]:
Oh, you're boring.

Lisa [00:35:39]:
Right? Be tacky in your heart. Tasteful out in the public. Right. You can have a tacky Christmas heart. Nobody cares.

Samantha [00:35:46]:
Be tacky in your heart.

Lisa [00:35:48]:
Being trashy in your heart. Right.

Samantha [00:35:51]:
But.

Lisa [00:35:51]:
But leave it there. Leave it there.

Samantha [00:35:53]:
Fine. Whatever.

Lisa [00:35:55]:
So it's funny. Hey, because everybody posts their Elf on the Shelf shit, right?

Samantha [00:36:00]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:36:01]:
Elf on the Shelf. Elf on the Shelf. And what all the elves are doing. What would the behaviors be like for Elf on the Shelf if it was popular when we were kids? What would that elf be doing?

Samantha [00:36:14]:
I think in the 70s the elf would have been smoking potatoes.

Lisa [00:36:18]:
And would your mom have done with that elf?

Samantha [00:36:21]:
Some questionable things? I think in the 80s it probably would have gone to a rave.

Lisa [00:36:27]:
Would your. Would your mom have. Would your mom have participated in Elf on the Shelf?

Samantha [00:36:34]:
No, because even. Well, in the 70s, like we were. I mean, and by the 80s we were teenagers. Right. So.

Lisa [00:36:41]:
Right. But by the 70s, the Falconess shelf was around the 70s, our parents are like, there's Santa watches you, and that's all you need to be concerned about.

Samantha [00:36:50]:
I don't think our parents would have been quite as dedicated as what we see on social media. Oh my God, the things they think of.

Lisa [00:36:58]:
Because Elf on the Shelf is totally not about the kid. It's about the parent. It's totally about the parent. Right. You know what my mom would have done with. If we. If God forbid, we ever had Elf on the Shelf, which I don't think we would. My mom would have broken.

Lisa [00:37:11]:
Have taken one of its legs off and said, elf has a broken leg and he can't move. I would have just sat him in the. Sat him someplace where she didn't have to look at him. She wouldn't play with that thing. She wouldn't move that thing. She wouldn't care about it.

Samantha [00:37:23]:
No.

Lisa [00:37:24]:
Right. I think. I mean, I love it. I think it's cool that, that, that. That the payoff is what it is for kids.

Samantha [00:37:31]:
Huh?

Lisa [00:37:32]:
Spoiler alert.

Samantha [00:37:33]:
Oh, geez. Because we're talking about another one. We can. We kids should not be listening to us.

Lisa [00:37:41]:
Right, Right. We just forget. Right. We don't have kids, so we forget that there's people to have kids. There's kids out there in society, Samantha. We forget that.

Samantha [00:37:51]:
Well, because we're not parents. So we just talk as we talk.

Lisa [00:37:55]:
I just think Elf in the shelf in the 70s would have had, like, a stubby beer between their legs. Yeah. Smoke in its mouth. And it wouldn't move. I'm too drunk to move for 30 days.

Samantha [00:38:04]:
And the 80s elf on the Shelf would have been dressed in, like, fluorescent. Have a hat.

Lisa [00:38:09]:
Big, big bang hanging out of his little hat.

Samantha [00:38:12]:
Big, big poofy hair.

Lisa [00:38:13]:
Right, right. And my mom would have touched that thing. Oh, God, never.

Samantha [00:38:20]:
That would have been fun.

Lisa [00:38:21]:
Would have been interesting. Would have been interesting.

Samantha [00:38:25]:
Oh, okay. But, you know, I.

Lisa [00:38:32]:
She.

Samantha [00:38:33]:
She told us. The HHG told us something that quite shocked both of us. And. And it's. And it made me wonder, like, are we in our bra wearing to bed years?

Lisa [00:38:44]:
No, we're not.

Samantha [00:38:46]:
Like, but she apparently is. Like, she wears a bra to bed. And I'm like, huh?

Lisa [00:38:53]:
She is proper.

Samantha [00:38:56]:
I'm like, who are you wearing a bra for?

Lisa [00:38:58]:
Like, right. She. That must have been how her mama raised her.

Samantha [00:39:03]:
Is it proper boob health to wear a bra to bed?

Lisa [00:39:06]:
I don't know.

Samantha [00:39:07]:
I thought.

Lisa [00:39:07]:
I thought at some point everything has to breathe right. That's why we don't wear our panties to bread to bed. Because things have to breathe right. I'm a big busted woman. I. I think it's bad. Okay, here's the scenario. Laying on my back, I have a double chin.

Lisa [00:39:25]:
I have that weighing against my chest. And now I'm gonna keep my bra on and let that just weigh down heavily all night long. My bra is off, like, before I even get to my bedroom for the most part. Right? It's done. It's. I'm over it. I'm done with it. Yeah.

Lisa [00:39:46]:
And now I'm getting really bad on the weekends. Like, now I have to go out. I put on my normal clothes to go out, right? Like, normal, right. Like, wear your bra in public, blah, blah, blah. But the minute I get home, I'm right Into like, yuck. And I say yuck because there's no bra and it's not pretty. But then I'm like, I've been married for 25 years. Who gives a right?

Samantha [00:40:09]:
I just, like. I was like, I was shocked.

Lisa [00:40:14]:
That girl is committed to her bra.

Samantha [00:40:17]:
And it's a normal bra bra. And I'm like, so it's not a bralette, like, you know, those fancy.

Lisa [00:40:21]:
Right? Type of thing?

Samantha [00:40:23]:
No, it's bra. No, it's bra. And I was like, what the. Are we. Is this what our 50s look like? Do I have to start putting shit back on when I'm trying to, like, take it off?

Lisa [00:40:34]:
I am not putting shit back on. Are you kidding me? On the weekend, if I'm in my comfy pants, I might not even have panties on. I'm not wearing. I'm just not wearing. I'm just not putting. I'm not putting, you know, I'm not putting the work in at home.

Samantha [00:40:49]:
So are we in our, like, slip on Skecher pant years? If Skecher had pants.

Lisa [00:40:55]:
Skechers does have pants. Oh, my God, they have pants. And they're literally slippers on pants. No, I think they look amazing. Just a nice black slip on pants. It's like, as I get older and I'm getting sick and tired of a button on my black dress pant. It's like. And right now, my black dress pant, that button.

Lisa [00:41:13]:
It's like, any day, Lisa. Any day. Any day. I'm like, I know, dear button. I know, right? Dear button, we're gonna part way soon, and it's gonna be furiously.

Samantha [00:41:26]:
We. We hear you, Button. Calm down.

Lisa [00:41:28]:
We hear you. We hear you. But guess what? I'm not going to take the precaution to fix it. I know it's coming. I'm preparing myself.

Samantha [00:41:34]:
Exactly.

Lisa [00:41:35]:
And then it makes me think. I get why people I might be understanding leggings.

Samantha [00:41:39]:
Oh, God, please.

Lisa [00:41:40]:
I'm not gonna wear them. But I think I don't get them.

Samantha [00:41:43]:
Don't.

Lisa [00:41:43]:
I'm not gonna wear them. Oh, but I'm just tired of buttons. I don't want a button on a pant anymore. No more buttons.

Samantha [00:41:52]:
I want to do up a zipper. I'm taking a stand, right?

Lisa [00:41:56]:
I've gone 55 years. Button, zipper, button, zipper, buttons. Almost every single day of my life. Button, zipper, button, zipper. I'm done. I don't want button, zipper anymore.

Samantha [00:42:05]:
You get stretchy pants and you're gonna. I don't know, Lisa. It could be like you're gonna Let loose.

Lisa [00:42:13]:
Right. Because is that the thing our button zippers is? That's what keeping us intact, potentially keeping us a step above the legging.

Samantha [00:42:23]:
It's keeping us from. From never leaving our house.

Lisa [00:42:27]:
Right. Because I tell you, I love a drawstring.

Samantha [00:42:31]:
I know, I know.

Lisa [00:42:33]:
I love a drop. I love no zipper. I love my cutoff pajama shorts that are just polka dotted and brown and don't match the shirt I'm gonna sleep in. I love that look right now. Right? Loving it.

Samantha [00:42:48]:
Oh, God.

Lisa [00:42:50]:
Not saying Mike is.

Samantha [00:42:51]:
No, but please don't go to work like that.

Lisa [00:42:54]:
They won't. Right? You gotta still take the care and the time.

Samantha [00:42:57]:
Send you home.

Lisa [00:42:58]:
Well, I think they'd be a little shocked, right, Ms. Fashion? I don't think that's.

Samantha [00:43:05]:
No, no.

Lisa [00:43:07]:
Right. I'm just saying, okay, we're at the end of the year. You know, it makes me reflective.

Samantha [00:43:16]:
I don't know why you reflect.

Lisa [00:43:17]:
I'm reflective.

Samantha [00:43:18]:
But you learn nothing.

Lisa [00:43:19]:
I look back and I reflect upon. That's what I'm doing. I reflect upon. Right? That's what you do. You reflect upon. That's. If we can't reflect upon, then what was the point of. Oh, hey.

Lisa [00:43:32]:
Oh my God, that sounded so deep. Eh?

Samantha [00:43:34]:
It, it really wasn't.

Lisa [00:43:36]:
Because Oprah could say that, hey, like if we can't reflect upon what was the point of. That is deep. And you're just not going to admit it. This is my issue. This is. That was really deep, man. If we can't reflect upon what was the point of. Right.

Lisa [00:43:55]:
That was really, really good.

Samantha [00:43:57]:
Oh my God.

Lisa [00:43:59]:
Really good.

Samantha [00:44:00]:
This is all. This is like years ago, folks. Years ago she thought she was Oprah. Years ago she thought that she was like wise and, you know, had wonderful thoughts that needed to be shared with people. It really didn't turn out that way for her.

Lisa [00:44:14]:
I did not become Oprah.

Samantha [00:44:16]:
You did not become wise. That's the problem.

Lisa [00:44:19]:
I became part of Lisa and Sam. And I shake my head, but listen, this is my reflection right here. Okay? Okay. I've spent all of 2024, Samantha, trying to lose £20. I've been after chasing that £20, right. The whole year. I wanted to eat less donuts. I wanted to remove non essential breads, right? And I wanted to get fit.

Lisa [00:44:39]:
I failed at every one of them. What does that say about me?

Samantha [00:44:44]:
You suck.

Lisa [00:44:45]:
That I suck, Right. I'm a loser.

Samantha [00:44:50]:
One, why would you cut out donuts when you love them so much? 2. What is non essential bread? Because it would everything that you think you need to eat is essential. So there is nothing in that category.

Lisa [00:45:03]:
Maybe the bread bowl.

Samantha [00:45:06]:
You never have a Red Bull. Never.

Lisa [00:45:11]:
But the bread bowl. That's probably because it's not essential.

Samantha [00:45:14]:
No, because just.

Lisa [00:45:16]:
Right.

Samantha [00:45:17]:
I don't know how I have survived this friendship for as long as I have with your nonsensical thoughts on what is food non essential, Your weird seasonal habits. Like, I don't know how I've survived this long.

Lisa [00:45:34]:
I'm a weird one. Right? I'm a weird one. But non essential bread. Every year I try and tackle it.

Samantha [00:45:41]:
I feel like you need to stop worrying about your physical appearance and worry about something else.

Lisa [00:45:47]:
What do you think I need to worry about?

Samantha [00:45:49]:
You need to conquer something that actually is realistic.

Lisa [00:45:52]:
Like what?

Samantha [00:45:53]:
I don't know. How would you tackle the 60, 60, 000 emails that you have?

Lisa [00:46:00]:
I'm not doing that. I'm not.

Samantha [00:46:01]:
Need to be deleted.

Lisa [00:46:04]:
No, I'm not dealing with my Yahoo account. I have 68,000 emails, unread emails in there. Where do you start? Where's a girl start with that?

Samantha [00:46:12]:
Just click it all and hit delete.

Lisa [00:46:15]:
What if there's something in there that I needed?

Samantha [00:46:17]:
Have you gone back to your Yahoo account for any.

Lisa [00:46:20]:
No, but it's like ordering a pop for lunch. What if this is the one time that I would.

Samantha [00:46:25]:
Samantha. Oh, my God. And then there's the theories that you have. What if. What if finally I'm going to drink that entire cup of pop? You're never going to drink it. She has a quarter of it.

Lisa [00:46:39]:
But what if this is the one time.

Samantha [00:46:40]:
But what if it's. And then there's the theory. But what if it's this one time?

Lisa [00:46:45]:
What if. What if this is the time and I don't have the pop to drink?

Samantha [00:46:49]:
Right.

Lisa [00:46:49]:
Right. So what if this is the time I delete the whole email and I need one email and I needed to go back and find it?

Samantha [00:46:56]:
It is the risk that you take, Lisa, and you need to take more risk in your life.

Lisa [00:47:01]:
I don't need to be a risk taker.

Samantha [00:47:02]:
No, you do.

Lisa [00:47:04]:
I don't know. Doesn't feel very comfortable.

Samantha [00:47:07]:
I feel. Friends of the podcast, let's cheer her on. Delete. Delete your emails. Delete. Delete your emails. Delete your fucking emails.

Lisa [00:47:15]:
It's bad enough at my work. I get that message every day. Your mailbox is just about full. And I'm like, how can you be full when my yahoo account has 68,000.

Samantha [00:47:24]:
Delete it. You don't need them.

Lisa [00:47:28]:
I'll take it under advisement. Maybe that will be my resolution for 2024.

Samantha [00:47:32]:
Well, wouldn't that be a shocker?

Lisa [00:47:33]:
Seems really daunting. And it seems like not a very nice resolution.

Samantha [00:47:38]:
It's better than forcing yourself to stop eating donuts to lose 20 pounds.

Lisa [00:47:43]:
That's kind of true. Right? I want to conquer non essential breads.

Samantha [00:47:48]:
Okay. But that doesn't make any sense. Breads don't make sense. Cutting out bread doesn't make you vegan. Cutting out bread doesn't make you vegan.

Lisa [00:47:59]:
Then I'm not going to eat eggs. Right.

Samantha [00:48:02]:
That's just that veganism is a whole.

Lisa [00:48:06]:
I don't know.

Samantha [00:48:07]:
I can't explain this to you. No, I don't have the time nor the energy.

Lisa [00:48:12]:
There's got to be a something for me.

Samantha [00:48:14]:
You can be. You can be like all kinds of vegetarian. There's like so many different things.

Lisa [00:48:19]:
I don't wanna. I'm not eating vegetables. I don't want vegetables.

Samantha [00:48:22]:
That's what a vegetarian is. You ding bats.

Lisa [00:48:26]:
Nope, I don't. I want to be vegan.

Samantha [00:48:28]:
Vegan is vegan. Part of that word is veg.

Lisa [00:48:34]:
Yeah.

Samantha [00:48:35]:
So that's vegetables. A vegan is vegetables. A vegan is like nuts and, and fruit and like, I don't know, I don't like.

Lisa [00:48:47]:
I don't like nuts.

Samantha [00:48:47]:
It's not a donut. It's not chicken wings. It's not. I don't know. What else do you eat?

Lisa [00:48:55]:
Fine. I'm gonna be fine. I'm gonna be gluten free.

Samantha [00:48:59]:
That might be more realistic.

Lisa [00:49:01]:
I could do gluten free. You think I could do that one?

Samantha [00:49:03]:
Gluten free. You're gonna cut out all the breads and the donuts? Because unless you can buy gluten free donuts, you're screwed.

Lisa [00:49:12]:
But I'm not allergic to gluten free, so I should still be able to make some exceptions.

Samantha [00:49:16]:
You're not. Okay, so the only reason to go gluten free is because you are allergic to gluten.

Lisa [00:49:22]:
Oh, so the ones who aren't allergic were like, left out of that?

Samantha [00:49:26]:
Yes, you're. You're left out, Lisa.

Lisa [00:49:28]:
But I can be vegan even though I'm not allergic to vegetables.

Samantha [00:49:34]:
That makes no sense.

Lisa [00:49:36]:
This makes no sense.

Samantha [00:49:38]:
I can't have.

Lisa [00:49:39]:
I can't.

Samantha [00:49:40]:
I can't partake in this conversation anymore. I. I can't. I need to move on.

Lisa [00:49:45]:
All right? Move on, Samantha.

Samantha [00:49:47]:
I need to move on.

Lisa [00:49:48]:
Move on.

Samantha [00:49:49]:
Well, I don't know if anybody knows this. I'm gonna tell you guys a secret. I have a love of gnomes.

Lisa [00:49:54]:
Oh, like the garden gnome.

Samantha [00:49:56]:
I love those Christmas gnomes that you can get with the full beard and a pointy hat. And they're cute. And they sit and they hang and they hang out.

Lisa [00:50:03]:
Really?

Samantha [00:50:04]:
Yeah. I love gnomes. Gnomes are this the cutest little thing?

Lisa [00:50:07]:
I'm like the opposite of gnomes. I'm like, let's drown the gnomes.

Samantha [00:50:11]:
Why? What did they ever do to you?

Lisa [00:50:13]:
Because they're creepy. They. They look. They look like a troll. But they think. But people think because they put them in a Santa hat that they're cute and nice.

Samantha [00:50:22]:
Gnomes are nice.

Lisa [00:50:23]:
They're not nice.

Samantha [00:50:24]:
Yes, they are.

Lisa [00:50:26]:
You remember the garden gnomes? Were they that nice?

Samantha [00:50:29]:
That's different. Those were humans.

Lisa [00:50:32]:
Right. We knew human gnomes. Friends of the podcast. No human gnomes.

Samantha [00:50:37]:
That makes us look bad.

Lisa [00:50:38]:
I'm sorry. But they were lovely. They had lovely. They were lovely people.

Samantha [00:50:43]:
They were lovely people. But we nicknamed them something very not nice.

Lisa [00:50:47]:
The gnomes. Because they looked like the gnomes. There was a pretty one and a not so pretty one. We were different people back then.

Samantha [00:50:57]:
We were different people.

Lisa [00:50:59]:
You can tell from how we're interacting now. We would never, ever do that now. Call somebody a garden gnome. But they were garden gnomes. If you took her and put her in your garden, she would fit in there.

Samantha [00:51:10]:
Who are you kidding? You called somebody you worked with back in the day Socks. And why did you call them Socks?

Lisa [00:51:16]:
Because she wore white sweat socks with her black dress pant and her black shoe. Her nickname became Socks. Made perfect sense to me.

Samantha [00:51:29]:
It made perfect sense.

Lisa [00:51:31]:
And then when people say, why do you call her Socks? I felt I could totally explain it.

Samantha [00:51:36]:
And then from then on, as you. Anytime you explained that and then you said that they also called that person Socks.

Lisa [00:51:42]:
Socks. She became socks to a lot of people. Right. Because she always wore those. That was always her look. Right. So it just. It just fit.

Lisa [00:51:51]:
Lisa, I'm not always proud.

Samantha [00:51:53]:
You're an asshole.

Lisa [00:51:54]:
I'm an asshole. That's what I am. Right? I'm an asshole. Totally an asshole. I'm glad you love. I'm glad that you love your gnomes. Well, you're off loving your gnomes. That's what I did.

Lisa [00:52:04]:
I accidentally went down the rabbit hole and I fell for Mary again. Fell for her for her witchcraft and. And. And filled in her astrological online for. Because, yes, I want to know what 2025 will bring and what is it bringing Lisa? Love, joy, and Happiness. Right. And I looking for love, joy, and happiness as if it was.

Samantha [00:52:30]:
Bring anything else to your world. Right.

Lisa [00:52:33]:
Because I'm entitled to some love, joy, and happiness.

Samantha [00:52:36]:
Yes. And if you believed all of the things on social media where if you come across those people who do tarot readings, you're coming into abundance and wealth. Yeah, you said that two weeks ago. And I'm still Pope.

Lisa [00:52:48]:
Right? Still poor, some success. There's a whole plethora of things coming my way.

Samantha [00:52:55]:
Look at you using the word right.

Lisa [00:52:57]:
Right.

Samantha [00:52:57]:
I'm so proud of you right now.

Lisa [00:52:59]:
Right now. Right now. You're being rude. That's rude. That's really rude. Because you're implying that I'm a dummy.

Samantha [00:53:07]:
I'm not implying. I'm just sometimes when you use big words, it's not always in the right context.

Lisa [00:53:12]:
Well, sometimes I just throw them out there to try and fit in. Good point, Samantha.

Samantha [00:53:19]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:53:20]:
Good point.

Samantha [00:53:21]:
Okay, stop talking to Mary.

Lisa [00:53:23]:
I'm done. I got my. I got my. I got my email from her. Now I'm ignoring her.

Samantha [00:53:28]:
At some point, Mary's gonna want some money, so stop.

Lisa [00:53:31]:
No, I'm not gonna pay Mary. I know. I know the signs. I know the signs.

Samantha [00:53:34]:
I'm just saying.

Lisa [00:53:35]:
I'm just saying. Right.

Samantha [00:53:36]:
It's the.

Lisa [00:53:37]:
It's. It's. It's the lure of the. Of the. Of all the excitement.

Samantha [00:53:40]:
Yeah. I want to know what's that? You shape your 2025, Lisa.

Lisa [00:53:45]:
Yes. Right.

Samantha [00:53:46]:
Not some chick on the Internet we reflect on.

Lisa [00:53:49]:
I don't even remember the phrase anymore.

Samantha [00:53:54]:
Just like that.

Lisa [00:53:55]:
Just like that. Right?

Samantha [00:53:56]:
You were Oprah. You'd remember one hit wonder.

Lisa [00:54:00]:
Friends of the podcast, if you remember the phrase, can you remind me, please send me a message and remind me. Maybe that'll be my next tattoo.

Samantha [00:54:10]:
Oh, if you can't reflect, what's the point of.

Lisa [00:54:13]:
No, but it wasn't quite like that.

Samantha [00:54:15]:
No, it wasn't quite like that. No.

Lisa [00:54:16]:
It's too wordy.

Samantha [00:54:17]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:54:18]:
That's how brilliant it was.

Samantha [00:54:19]:
It was so brilliant. So brilliant. You forgot it.

Lisa [00:54:22]:
So brilliant. I forgot it. That's what happens. Right? That's how. That's how my life goes, Samantha.

Samantha [00:54:27]:
Well, your TV watching is going to get a little more interesting because I know Survivor Deal or no Deal island is apparently coming back January 6th. I don't understand.

Lisa [00:54:39]:
We're in it. You're gonna watch it from the beginning. This.

Samantha [00:54:41]:
No.

Lisa [00:54:42]:
Because last time you didn't watch the beginning.

Samantha [00:54:44]:
It's not boring.

Lisa [00:54:45]:
But you didn't watch halfway through. Closer to the end. This time we're gonna watch right from the beginning. It's not boring. No, it's really good. No, it's not really, really good.

Samantha [00:54:55]:
They're just conniving.

Lisa [00:54:56]:
Will one show kill you?

Samantha [00:54:57]:
No, it just. I don't get. I don't get it. I don't know why they're there. She wrote, oh, my God, Jamie Lee Curtis might be going to the big screen and being Angela Lansbury's character for Murder She Wrote.

Lisa [00:55:13]:
Shut up.

Samantha [00:55:14]:
I know. I'm so excited.

Lisa [00:55:17]:
I'm more excited. I'll take a popcorn and a wine and a fancy chair, please.

Samantha [00:55:23]:
Shut up.

Lisa [00:55:24]:
And I'll be your plus one at the movie.

Samantha [00:55:25]:
No, you're not coming with me to that. I don't need your commentary.

Lisa [00:55:31]:
I'm not watching it. Hey, I'm watching Matlock. That's enough.

Samantha [00:55:34]:
That is enough. But I'm not. I don't know. I'm still on the fence with dealing. I don't understand why Deal or no Deal is on an island. And then I saw the swim to try and find her a briefcase, and I just. I didn't get it.

Lisa [00:55:47]:
Because you didn't start from the beginning where they explained all the rules and.

Samantha [00:55:51]:
Boston Rob didn't win, which was really disappointing.

Lisa [00:55:54]:
That was disappointing. Totally.

Samantha [00:55:55]:
You should have really wanted him to win.

Lisa [00:55:57]:
I wanted him to win, too, but now we have to see what happens this week or this. This year, right? Okay. It's a food. It's a food thing. I got a food thing to talk about. Chicken pot pie, yay or nay?

Samantha [00:56:09]:
I don't love pot pie simply because there's a crust, See?

Lisa [00:56:13]:
And I like a crust in the form of a real crust. So Mike loves chicken pot pie, right? We're at the co op, we buy the chicken pot pie. It's not really a crust. They put a layer of like a filo pastry over top of it and then you cook it. So the inside is good, but the tot. But it's just. Remember when I did my deconstructed chicken pot pie better, but just needed salt. Right? I'm just saying I was a good wife, right? I'm a good wife because I ate the pot pie.

Lisa [00:56:50]:
Not a big amount of it. I thought that the portion we were buying was actually. I thought I had him convinced it was just portion for one. Like, man size portion. He's like, no, it's for two. I'm like, does it have to be for two?

Samantha [00:57:03]:
Okay, can you just be honest with him and tell him you don't like it.

Lisa [00:57:07]:
I'm not gonna break his heart now.

Samantha [00:57:09]:
Really?

Lisa [00:57:09]:
He loves chicken pot pie.

Samantha [00:57:11]:
I know, but this is the whole. This is the goulash situation, which I love. All rolled into.

Lisa [00:57:17]:
Which I love. Which I love. Moving right along now. Speaking about. Speaking of more food.

Samantha [00:57:28]:
No, because you.

Lisa [00:57:29]:
No, I'm not going down that. I'm not going down the goulash.

Samantha [00:57:32]:
But why is it so horrible to tell somebody that you don't like certain foods? It's okay if you don't like the same foods.

Lisa [00:57:38]:
It's fine. Yes, that's perfectly fine. But when the first time it's ever made for you and you say you love it, that lives with you forever, ever. Okay? That's why. Can we move on now, please? I'm talking about the Tick Tock.

Samantha [00:57:54]:
It's the dirty little secret that we.

Lisa [00:57:57]:
Just released to the world. All right. On the Tick Tock. I don't know who it is, but what they have is, is. They have. It's two men, and they make recipes based on the one dude whose alcoholic grandpa. Grandpa died. And he, the alcoholic grandpa, used to like to cook.

Lisa [00:58:22]:
So he. He had all of his recipes all put together and categorized by decade in little baggies, right?

Samantha [00:58:29]:
Okay.

Lisa [00:58:29]:
So these guys, they have a spinning wheel. They spin the wheel and say it says 1970, and they pick a random recipe from the 1970s envelope and they make it.

Samantha [00:58:40]:
Okay, cool.

Lisa [00:58:41]:
So they made a grilled cheese. Was an elevated grilled cheese. Oh, my God. So it was two types of fancy, fancy cheeses like provolone and blah, blah, blah. Havarti probably, right? And they made a blueberry paste of some sort that went in it. Blueberry reduction with, like, a little bit of lemon or citrus, like it was whatever. And they put it on it and put it together and made the grilled cheese. It.

Samantha [00:59:11]:
They.

Lisa [00:59:11]:
Their minds were blown at how good that grilled cheese was. They both were like, oh, my God, we've never had anything this delicious before. I'm gonna recreate that when we go to Ottawa because my niece, Lexi, she likes to cook.

Samantha [00:59:25]:
Oh, there.

Lisa [00:59:26]:
I need to go. I need to try this.

Samantha [00:59:28]:
I think you should, right?

Lisa [00:59:29]:
I like blueberries.

Samantha [00:59:31]:
You do?

Lisa [00:59:32]:
You do cheese.

Samantha [00:59:33]:
You just don't know how to cook.

Lisa [00:59:34]:
I just don't know.

Samantha [00:59:35]:
I'm.

Lisa [00:59:36]:
I'm not gonna go to all the trouble. But Lexi probably would, right? Because she likes to cook.

Samantha [00:59:41]:
That's really cool. So this is on Tick Tock.

Lisa [00:59:44]:
It's on Tick Tock. I'll find out who it. I'll. I'll Go back and find out who it is and we'll. Well, maybe we'll put a link or something because it's so cool. They just spin a wheel and then they pull out and from the Ziploc baggie 1970s, and they just pull out a random and then they make it.

Samantha [01:00:00]:
You know what? I could do it. I could do that with my mother's Mennonite cookbook.

Lisa [01:00:04]:
Right.

Samantha [01:00:05]:
There is something super interesting things in that cookbook.

Lisa [01:00:08]:
Right. Some interesting things.

Samantha [01:00:11]:
And it's older than the hill, so.

Lisa [01:00:13]:
Right. I don't want to be the taste tester.

Samantha [01:00:17]:
Okay.

Lisa [01:00:18]:
So I'm just saying. Right. I'm going to check it out and I'll let. We'll keep people posted.

Samantha [01:00:22]:
Okay, cool. I think we should try that. Yeah. Or you should try that. I'm not going to try that, but I'll try it.

Lisa [01:00:26]:
I'm going to try it. Okay, cool.

Samantha [01:00:28]:
Well, okay. So, you know, God bless social media and the tick tock. And I will be sad when it eventually does leave the world because the United States has decided that it needs to go.

Lisa [01:00:39]:
We don't know for sure. We don't need to jump on that bandwagon.

Samantha [01:00:42]:
No, the bandwagon is January 19th. Lisa, get with the program. Where?

Lisa [01:00:45]:
Where? Who said that?

Samantha [01:00:47]:
In the States. They're banning it as of January 19th.

Lisa [01:00:49]:
But they're not. We don't live in the States last time I checked. I know.

Samantha [01:00:52]:
In Canada we'll be fine, but we're gonna lose all the creators from the United States that you quite enjoy.

Lisa [01:00:57]:
There'll be. There'll be something else.

Samantha [01:00:58]:
Well, they'll probably go to Instagram or to YouTube or wherever that is.

Lisa [01:01:02]:
Stop. Stop with the sirens.

Samantha [01:01:04]:
Okay, I'm not sirening. I'm just telling you what I heard. Okay. But anyways, when I was again scrolling through Tick Tock in a mindless watching all the stupid tick tock trends, I came across something that I thought was. This is. Oh, so okay, it is a trend of women putting diaper rash cream on their face as a night cream and slathering it on. And apparently it cures like bad skin, acne, dry skin, like all this.

Lisa [01:01:39]:
And I'm like, like the nox used to.

Samantha [01:01:43]:
Yeah, but this is diaper. This is for your baby's butt. Like, this is diaper rash cream.

Lisa [01:01:49]:
And I'm like, I want that on my face.

Samantha [01:01:51]:
Is this gospel or is this a crock of?

Lisa [01:01:54]:
I think it's crock.

Samantha [01:01:55]:
I think it's a crock of.

Lisa [01:01:56]:
It's a crock of because people do.

Samantha [01:01:57]:
Weird ass things on those social media things to get people to watch. Right?

Lisa [01:02:02]:
And that's fine. But I'm not putting type. I'm not putting. It's like they used to say, put Preparation H on your. On your zits and it'll shrink them. I'm not putting something that goes on my ass on my face.

Samantha [01:02:15]:
I mean, it doesn't make sense. No. I don't know. Maybe because I honestly don't know the properties of diaper rash cream. Who knows?

Lisa [01:02:23]:
It seems thick.

Samantha [01:02:25]:
Friends of the podcast, if one of you decides to do it, could you maybe videotape it for the rest of us?

Lisa [01:02:31]:
Let us know. Take up that challenge. The diaper rash on your face, the diaper cream on your face challenge.

Samantha [01:02:37]:
Please let us know how that goes for you.

Lisa [01:02:39]:
I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it.

Samantha [01:02:42]:
Are you kidding? Could you imagine, like, what if you were allergic to it and the, the reaction.

Lisa [01:02:48]:
Nope.

Samantha [01:02:49]:
Like you could burn your face off.

Lisa [01:02:50]:
You got to be careful, right?

Samantha [01:02:52]:
That's just wrong.

Lisa [01:02:53]:
You got to be careful.

Samantha [01:02:54]:
Ugh.

Lisa [01:02:55]:
Not doing it.

Samantha [01:06:55]:
I'm not.

Lisa [01:06:56]:
You're. You're still. Why are you so negative?

Samantha [01:06:59]:
I'm not really playing for anything.

Lisa [01:07:01]:
But you're still playing. You still have four weeks to play.

Samantha [01:07:04]:
I do believe I won.

Lisa [01:07:05]:
Right. So did you not make any changes? You didn't give a shit, did you?

Samantha [01:07:08]:
No, I did. I made changes.

Lisa [01:07:10]:
Okay. Like, just don't give up, because you could win the constellation side.

Yes. And we know. I feel.

Lisa [01:07:28]:
I won my. I won. So it's the first these two weeks combined. I won week one. We'll see.

Samantha [01:07:35]:
All right.

Lisa [01:07:36]:
Right. It's exciting. I can't. You can't just do it and then not continue caring.

Samantha [01:07:41]:
Oh, my God. Calm down.

Lisa [01:07:42]:
Well, can you care, please?

Samantha [01:07:44]:
Yes, I will. Oh, my God.

Lisa [01:07:45]:
It's. You know, it's funny. In all these weeks of football, I've always complimented you on how well you've done each week. You've never, like, in all things, once asked or congratulated me.

Samantha [01:07:57]:
Lisa, you're winning, and you've only lost one game.

Lisa [01:08:00]:
I lost two.

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

Lisa [01:08:03]:
I lost two.

Samantha [01:08:04]:
You're doing well. Congratulations. Would you like a lollipop for that?

Lisa [01:08:08]:
And then you have to be pissy like that at the end of it. Why is that necessary? Why can't you just. From your heart. From your heart.

Samantha [01:08:16]:
You're a horrible winner.

Lisa [01:08:18]:
How. This coming from you. This coming from. I have to win at all costs.

Samantha [01:08:27]:
I do. Most of the time.

Lisa [01:08:28]:
Right. Yeah. Interesting new thing to explore in our friendship right here. Right? Everything changed. All life was good until that second year of fantasy football. And then we invited Sam, and then my friendship just took a downward turn.

Samantha [01:08:46]:
Oh, calm down.

Lisa [01:08:47]:
Just saying. Stay tuned, friends of the podcast. Yes, Samantha, it's almost Christmas.

Samantha [01:08:54]:
Yes, it is. Is Lisa, you excited?

Lisa [01:08:56]:
Are you. Are you. Are you excited?

Samantha [01:08:58]:
Oh, very excited.

Uhhuh.

Woohoo. Yay. Can't wait. All right, everybody, have a great week. Samantha.

Samantha [01:09:09]:
Uhhuh.

Lisa [01:09:10]:
Anything else you want to talk about?

Samantha [01:09:11]:
No.

Lisa [01:09:13]:
Always a pleasure.

Samantha [01:09:14]:
It should be.

Lisa [01:09:27]:
Who's a pretty girl? I'm a pretty girl.
