America’s Season Finale

Lisa [00:00:07]:
Shake that ass for me Shake that ass for me. Is that your theme song?

Samantha [00:00:12]:
No one asked for you to sing.

Lisa [00:00:14]:
I'm singing because I think that's your theme song. Is it not?

Samantha [00:00:17]:
It is my theme song.

Lisa [00:00:18]:
Okay, so funny thing. I took an Uber to work today, and at 7am this white Uber pulls up and it's all, like, leathered up and. And that's the song that's playing loudly in the vehicle. Shake that ass for me Shake that ass for me.

Samantha [00:00:35]:
You know what? That's the perfect song for a hump day.

Lisa [00:00:37]:
Wednesday at 7am Right?

Samantha [00:00:40]:
It's perfect.

Lisa [00:00:40]:
I got. I gotta tell you, I kind of felt a little violated, actually, because I felt that he was kind of, like, looking at me and I'm like, were.

Samantha [00:00:48]:
You gonna shake your ass for him, Lisa?

Lisa [00:00:51]:
Who knows, right? You know what? I thought I felt like I was riding in a pimp mobile. The driver should have been all wearing fur and golded up some grills in. That's what I thought.

Samantha [00:01:00]:
Gold teeth.

Lisa [00:01:01]:
Got some gold teeth in there, right?

Samantha [00:01:03]:
That sounds all day.

Lisa [00:01:05]:
All day. Samantha, no matter where I went, who I talked to, or what I did, in my head, played Shake that ass for me. Shake that ass for me. That's a weird song to have playing in your head at work while you chat with your coworkers.

Samantha [00:01:19]:
That is not the best of songs to have.

Lisa [00:01:22]:
The better song is all the pretty girl girls walk like this, not as you're having a conversation with, like, your coworker. And in your mind, you still have to shake that ass for me. Shake that s for me. Weird.

Samantha [00:01:36]:
To be honest, if I had been picked up in an Uber like that, I would have been like, dude, how's your day going?

Lisa [00:01:41]:
Right? Like, dude, like, what's going on? Okay, but here's the thing. You should be so proud of me, because even though that was going through my head all day and I spoke to co workers all day long, not once did I ever tell them that that was the song playing in my head.

Samantha [00:01:55]:
Wow, that took a lot of restraint from you.

Lisa [00:01:57]:
Right? Because I wanted to share the story. I wanted to share the pimp ride story.

Samantha [00:02:01]:
I have no doubt.

Lisa [00:02:03]:
So I'd walk away thinking, oh, should I just go back and say, funny thing happened to me this morning, but I didn't. I didn't do it. I didn't do it. I have to listen to it here, I guess.

Samantha [00:02:13]:
Oh, my gosh. Okay.

Lisa [00:02:15]:
Right? So, Samantha, shake that ass for me. Shake that ass for me. Hello, friends of the podcast.

Samantha [00:02:23]:
Hello, everybody, and welcome To. We're not sure.

Lisa [00:02:27]:
We're not sure, right. Lisa's pimped out discotheque.

Samantha [00:02:34]:
We are not sure how this episode's gonna turn out. So just buckle in, little bunnies.

Lisa [00:02:39]:
Right? It's gonna be rough. It's gonna be rough, right? There's a lot of turbulence in the air right now.

Samantha [00:02:45]:
Holy crap.

Lisa [00:02:46]:
Isn't that crazy? So crazy. But you know what else is crazy? So I did it. I bought my Advent calendar.

Samantha [00:02:52]:
Oh, God, here we go again.

Lisa [00:02:53]:
Here we go. Same one as last year. Peanut butter cups.

Samantha [00:02:56]:
Yeah, but you exhibiting no self control and calling it your practice one where really you just consume everything in one day.

Lisa [00:03:02]:
Well, okay, but not intentionally, right?

Samantha [00:03:04]:
No, it's so intentionally.

Lisa [00:03:07]:
It's not totally intentional.

Samantha [00:03:09]:
Totally intentionally.

Lisa [00:03:11]:
And if I could just remind everybody, please, there's only 24 little secret doors in an advent calendar. There's not 30 or 31.

Samantha [00:03:18]:
You eat all 24.

Lisa [00:03:20]:
It's. It's a little one day. It's a little bite.

Samantha [00:03:24]:
Lisa, how's your diabetes?

Lisa [00:03:27]:
Samantha, you only worry about the diabetes if you're doing that every day. If you're just doing that once a year for one week or one day, you don't worry.

Samantha [00:03:37]:
I think enjoy the peanut butter.

Lisa [00:03:39]:
What?

Samantha [00:03:40]:
I think you have a problem.

Lisa [00:03:42]:
I do not. I think it brings me great joy.

Samantha [00:03:45]:
Once a year, and then you use and then you do another calendar for December, but you also can't do it day by day. I feel like you need an accountability partner. I don't want. You need an accountability partner. Is there somebody at your place of work that you can have as an accountability buddy?

Lisa [00:04:04]:
There's nobody taking that job on. Hey, there's nobody taking on that well.

Samantha [00:04:09]:
Because they have never like you. If you're denied something, you become the meanest little who comes up with every little, like, nasty little comment that you can make. Like friends of the podcast. Lisa is not as angelic as she appears to be.

Lisa [00:04:23]:
That is not true, Samantha. Now you're spreading lies. You're just spreading lies.

Samantha [00:04:28]:
No, I speak the truth, don't I?

Lisa [00:04:31]:
I'm not like that. If somebody says no, I take no with a grain of salt.

Samantha [00:04:35]:
No, you do not. No, you do not. You needle. You go for it. You dig a little more, you stab a little more. You get that knife in there and you twist it.

Lisa [00:04:44]:
All I'm doing is, I'm just making sure that no is really what you meant.

Samantha [00:04:47]:
You know what? I feel like I'm speaking from personal experience and I'm like, yes, I am. Yes, I am friends of the podcast and speaking from personal, you have a.

Lisa [00:04:55]:
Lot of angst behind that.

Samantha [00:04:57]:
I do have a lot of angst because you're an. When you don't get your way.

Lisa [00:05:03]:
I'm not. I just want to make sure.

Samantha [00:05:04]:
Yes, you are.

Lisa [00:05:06]:
I just want to make sure s. Sure that you're certain. I'm not supposed. Supposed to get my way.

Samantha [00:05:11]:
You're not supposed to get your way. You should follow the advent calendar rules, which is one per day. That's why you need an accountability buddy.

Lisa [00:05:19]:
That's why you practice. And then when you screw up, you do it the right way the next month.

Samantha [00:05:23]:
And then you just. It's like an Advent calendar addiction. Just keep rolling. Every year. Every year, same thing, same habits. You don't break your habits. Like, I'll give you this, you're super consistent with your inability to follow rules. You're totally consistent.

Lisa [00:05:39]:
Hey, I have like, probably a consistency problem. I have like ADHD for consistency.

Samantha [00:05:45]:
I.

Lisa [00:05:47]:
Right, okay. It's just an advent.

Samantha [00:05:49]:
I gotta let. I gotta let this go. Because you're never gonna lie.

Lisa [00:05:52]:
No, because you're. Because you're trying to deny me a piece.

Samantha [00:05:56]:
Oh my God. No one's denying you anything. Why don't you just level up and say I'm going to buy 5,000 advent calendars and every day until Christmas, I'm going to need an Advent calendar a day. Oh my God. Could you do that as a bit of a test? I need an advent calendar a day.

Lisa [00:06:14]:
Are you trying to kill me? That's nice. That's nice. Best friend, right? How about you shut your mouth? That's not very nice. You just asked about the diabetes and now you're throwing the diabetes at me.

Samantha [00:06:26]:
You know what? If you're not scared, I'm not scared.

Lisa [00:06:33]:
Uhuh. It's going to be that type of show.

Samantha [00:06:37]:
Now I. I need to talk about something that's. It's very interesting because you remember how I went on here and I said I don't understand why people have wildlife animals as pets.

Lisa [00:06:46]:
Yes.

Samantha [00:06:46]:
A couple weeks ago. I am going to feel sorry for this one person. It's a Tik Tok. I don't know their username, but it. People should know who this is. It's Peanut the squirrel and Fred the raccoon. And apparently somebody who follows this account and this, this influencer person who has these pets called New York authorities.

Lisa [00:07:10]:
Right.

Samantha [00:07:10]:
And they raided his house as if he was a drug dealer and took his squirrel in his raccoon.

Lisa [00:07:17]:
People mind your business.

Samantha [00:07:18]:
And Then euthanized them both.

Lisa [00:07:21]:
And here's the thing, right? These people do good things. They rescue pets and they donate money and they. They, like, help people.

Samantha [00:07:28]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:07:28]:
And pets.

Samantha [00:07:29]:
So at first, when they took the squirrel and the raccoon, a GoFundMe was set up to, like, get squirrel out of jail.

Lisa [00:07:38]:
Okay.

Samantha [00:07:39]:
To get, you know, Peanut out of jail.

Lisa [00:07:41]:
Totally.

Samantha [00:07:42]:
But apparently Peanut, he is not happy. He apparently bit. Supposedly bit someone.

Lisa [00:07:50]:
Right. And then they were concerned about the manger, about the rabies or something.

Samantha [00:07:54]:
Rabies? No, it's always the mange. It's always. Sorry, it's always the rabies. So they euthanized them both.

Lisa [00:08:00]:
Yeah. Hi. Because you pissed off Peanut and Peanut bit you.

Samantha [00:08:03]:
Yeah. So I think that's shitty that they would. That anyone would have that much time on their hands that they would need to go and rat on somebody who's just trying to do a good thing and look after two wildlife creatures that potentially needed help. Right. I don't know them that well. I don't know.

Lisa [00:08:21]:
No. But here's the thing, right? I checked out. I checked out his whole Instagram or his whole TikTok, whichever one. All the videos show Peanut and what's the raccoon?

Samantha [00:08:31]:
Fred.

Lisa [00:08:32]:
Fred, Peanut and Fred enjoying life. Living a good life. Peanut was so happy. Yep. Peanut was so happy.

Samantha [00:08:41]:
And they ruined that happiness.

Lisa [00:08:42]:
He was just a pet. Like a cat. Just like a cat.

Samantha [00:08:45]:
So apparently people found out who the woman was, the follower that. That ratted him out, ratted this guy out, and they have gone after her on the Internet. Those people can.

Lisa [00:08:57]:
Good. Because you know what? Samantha get stitches?

Samantha [00:09:00]:
No.

Lisa [00:09:01]:
Get stitches.

Samantha [00:09:02]:
She's erased. She's erased herself off of the Internet.

Lisa [00:09:05]:
I guess she has.

Samantha [00:09:06]:
Yeah. Like, she exited quite quickly once people found out it was her. But I'm like, why do you need to meddle? I guess that's my question. It's like, you got nothing better to do?

Lisa [00:09:18]:
How about don't you dare?

Samantha [00:09:19]:
How about don't you dare?

Lisa [00:09:20]:
How about don't you dare? Right? Don't you dare? I guess it's one thing if it's a gorilla or it's like a crocodile, maybe like an endangered species. It's, it's, it's, it's.

Samantha [00:09:30]:
It's a squirrel and a raccoon and.

Lisa [00:09:32]:
A raccoon and people have raccoons for pets.

Samantha [00:09:34]:
All the. Like, there's a lot.

Lisa [00:09:36]:
And really, why is a squirrel any different than a hamster, a gerbil or what, a guinea pig or whatever? Right, Right.

Samantha [00:09:42]:
But apparently this woman Was not having that.

Lisa [00:09:44]:
Wow.

Samantha [00:09:45]:
And ruined somebody's life.

Lisa [00:09:46]:
And you know what? And that's why the world sucks some days is because people have too much time on their hands with the social media. And they think, you know what? I'm going to end it all for Peanut.

Samantha [00:09:56]:
Because they thought. She probably thought she was safe behind her phone.

Lisa [00:10:01]:
Of course.

Samantha [00:10:02]:
Just her little texting, whatever she was doing. No one's gonna find me out.

Lisa [00:10:06]:
Everybody's got. Everybody's the courage. Right? Yeah. Social media courage.

Samantha [00:10:10]:
O. Wow. I just. I felt I needed to just be like, rip Peanut.

Lisa [00:10:16]:
Well, as bad. Poor Peanut. As bad as I feel for Peanut, Samantha, I'm shaking my head this week at rental cars and the fine print that doesn't exist in the contract.

Samantha [00:10:26]:
Yeah, yeah, right. Well, talk about that.

Lisa [00:10:29]:
Okay.

Samantha [00:10:30]:
I'm worried about my winter vagina.

Lisa [00:10:33]:
I'm worried that you have a winter vagina. Sounds horrible. Sounds horrible. And speaking of horrible, I think we need to dive into the US Election.

Samantha [00:10:46]:
Oh, I think so, right?

Lisa [00:10:48]:
I think we do. But here, first off, I've got a disclaimer for the friends of the podcast. Right? We're fine. We're fine. Yeah, we want a Kamala to win. But guess what? It's totally not our shit show.

Samantha [00:11:01]:
No, it's not.

Lisa [00:11:02]:
It's America's shit show. We get a little bit of the shit. We get a little bit of the. Of the. Of the. The tailwind, right? We get a little bit of that coming our way however it plays out. But, you know, at the end of the day, it is what it is, right?

Samantha [00:11:16]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:11:17]:
Did you watch it?

Samantha [00:11:18]:
I did, I. And then I was just like, ugh, this is enough.

Lisa [00:11:22]:
I felt like I was watching. And oddly enough, it did ring true. I felt like I was watching the season finale of America. That's what it felt like, right? I'm watching the season finale of America.

Samantha [00:11:32]:
No, it's not the season finale.

Lisa [00:11:35]:
That's what it felt like. That's what it felt like, right? There was non credible bomb threats against Georgia. Bette Midler posted a picture of a bottle of champagne that said Kamala wins. And then she posted a bottle of Drano that said Trump wins. And I'm like, God, isn't that true? Well, right. It felt like it felt like the end of the world as we know it as it was going on. And cnn, God bless their soul, right? Because they just love those. They just love their Democrats, right? And.

Lisa [00:12:05]:
Oh, it was. You could see the pain in them as they were like, there's got to be a way. Try again, try again, keep trying. Don't give up. And then all of a sudden they're like, we're not going to say it's impossible, but we're going to declare that it's almost impossible. But keep looking. There's got to be a way.

Samantha [00:12:25]:
She lost the swing states. It was not going to happen.

Lisa [00:12:28]:
It was not going to happen. It was not meant to happen.

Samantha [00:12:31]:
No.

Lisa [00:12:31]:
And you know what? Here's the thing, right? Shame on Biden's people for keeping them in the party longer than what they should have, because she didn't get to have a full. She didn't get to have the full experience.

Samantha [00:12:41]:
She had only 107 days, apparently.

Lisa [00:12:44]:
Right, Right. So she didn't have time to have an economic plan.

Samantha [00:12:47]:
Nope.

Lisa [00:12:48]:
Right. Which is apparently according to America. What they wanted was an economic plan.

Samantha [00:12:52]:
That was the number one concern.

Lisa [00:12:54]:
This is what I learned. I learned America, dear America, you don't care. You don't care about the women's rights. You care, but you don't care. And you don't care about the other important issues, but you really do care about the economy, which is important.

Samantha [00:13:13]:
Right.

Lisa [00:13:13]:
We all want a little more money in our pocket.

Samantha [00:13:15]:
I think people just want to be able to put food on their tables and put gas in their car.

Lisa [00:13:19]:
Right. So again, it's too bad that the Democratic Party didn't let her have a platform for that, too.

Samantha [00:13:26]:
I think they should have had a platform for her. They should have had an economic plan. Even if they only had 107 days, they should have had something.

Lisa [00:13:34]:
I think whatever they had, though, was, was Biden.

Samantha [00:13:36]:
She wasn't. It wasn't enough of a guarantee. And you know what? They spoke and this is what's happened. And now, as of our recording, Trump has been declared the. The President elect.

Lisa [00:13:46]:
So totally the president.

Samantha [00:13:48]:
Totes the president. However, I do have some concerns. I believe it's odd. During their election, these things happen. Like somebody blew up a drive by ballot box.

Lisa [00:14:02]:
People left their people. Like, like ballots were flying out of people, the back of trunks of cars and trucks and stuff.

Samantha [00:14:08]:
Apparently a postal worker threw a bag of ballots into a dumpster and somebody saw it and called the police and he was afraid, arrested. I'm like, what are you doing?

Lisa [00:14:20]:
Why are you doing this?

Samantha [00:14:21]:
Ballots. Everybody gets a choice. You don't know if it's Republican or Democrat in there.

Lisa [00:14:26]:
You can't take away the choice. You can't take away the choice. Right.

Samantha [00:14:29]:
Like, you guys are so crazy.

Lisa [00:14:32]:
It was so crazy. Right?

Samantha [00:14:34]:
Just so crazy. Okay. But, you know, this is what I. This is how I. I sort of saw the US election. It's like watching a really weird reality TV show that won't stop even if it gets bad ratings.

Lisa [00:14:49]:
Okay.

Samantha [00:14:49]:
Right. It's like continual.

Lisa [00:14:52]:
Okay.

Samantha [00:14:53]:
And then. And then it's the election, and then the four years after that, and then the reality show just keeps going. Yeah.

Lisa [00:15:01]:
It never, It's. It never ends. Right. I saw it a little. I saw it a little more like the Titanic where they were wanting. Just hold on, Kamala, hold on. And instead she had to go down with the ship. Right.

Samantha [00:15:18]:
You know, you know what really irritated me? And I don't know why I did, because I have no bets in this race. But when I was watching it at. When the polls were starting to come in, like the numbers starting to come in. Trump was leading in this state and only 1% of the ballots in. Shut up, shut up, shut up. Like, that's 1% of the ballot. It is in.

Lisa [00:15:45]:
That's where you and I differ.

Samantha [00:15:47]:
There could be hundreds and hundreds and thousands like, of ballots to count. I get that, but stop.

Lisa [00:15:55]:
But that's where you and I differ, right? Because you're kind of like the political fake fan and I'm kind of like a political real fan. So I'm like 1%. And I'm excited because I'm like, no.

Samantha [00:16:05]:
Because then I turned to. I don't even remember. I think it was a CBS or, I don't know, one of the affiliates or whatever, and they had like, graphs and they were moving things. And I'm like, stop it. You have nothing to talk about.

Lisa [00:16:19]:
Yes.

Samantha [00:16:20]:
Creating crap.

Lisa [00:16:21]:
No, there was still stuff at 1%. There's still stuff. Right. Because it's looking good. Looking good.

Samantha [00:16:28]:
Stop it.

Lisa [00:16:29]:
And then it flip flops, flip flops, flip flops.

Samantha [00:16:32]:
And then you get high, you get low. You get high, you get low. And it's like whole thing.

Lisa [00:16:35]:
Right. And then you afraid to go to bed. Right. Because you don't know there's still a chance. There's still a chance.

Samantha [00:16:40]:
There was. Yeah.

Lisa [00:16:41]:
And then her people came on and said she won't be talking tonight.

Samantha [00:16:44]:
And I'm like, yeah, yeah.

Lisa [00:16:46]:
That is like the world saying, nighty nights. Lisa, it's time to go to bed. Rockaby, farewell.

Samantha [00:16:54]:
Peter's a good night.

Lisa [00:16:56]:
Right. I hope you enjoyed the show. It's over. You lost and now it's time for you to go. Right. That's pretty much how it went.

Samantha [00:17:08]:
I went to bed, I was like, whatever's going to happen is going to happen.

Lisa [00:17:12]:
You tapped out before it was totally, completely certain what was going to happen.

Samantha [00:17:16]:
You know, I was never going to really fully stay awake for that. I was never going to.

Lisa [00:17:21]:
I stayed up, but this is what I feel. Okay. Okay, here's the thing. America, right? You want a lunatic to run your country, you got one, right? You want a crazy dude, you check the box. Four years is a long time, but we move on because that's what we're supposed to do, right?

Samantha [00:17:39]:
Yep.

Lisa [00:17:40]:
As a society, we need to say, Samantha, it. Maybe it'll be different this time. I don't know if it will be, but we'll see.

Samantha [00:17:50]:
Lisa.

Lisa [00:17:51]:
What?

Samantha [00:17:51]:
As the proverb says, not our monkey.

Lisa [00:17:54]:
Not our circus, not our circus. Right. Canada's got their own to now deal with.

Samantha [00:17:58]:
We got our own circus. And it's only probably. It's gonna get ramped I. After this.

Lisa [00:18:04]:
But it's not gonna. It's not gonna amp up like America.

Samantha [00:18:06]:
No, but we're gonna get. I think we're gonna get some stuff out of it, though.

Lisa [00:18:10]:
Yeah, I think so too. So you know what?

Samantha [00:18:12]:
We're a little too follow the leader.

Lisa [00:18:15]:
Totally.

Samantha [00:18:15]:
Right?

Lisa [00:18:15]:
We're like. We're like the sibling.

Samantha [00:18:17]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:18:17]:
Like the younger sibling. Right. Just wanting to do what our. What our. What our big brother does.

Samantha [00:18:22]:
Is it. Red rover, red rover, throw some over.

Lisa [00:18:28]:
Red rover, red rover. Canada's coming over.

Samantha [00:18:33]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:18:34]:
Right?

Samantha [00:18:35]:
It's our turn now.

Lisa [00:18:37]:
Look at us go, right? So, yeah, we're in no better, we're better situation.

Samantha [00:18:42]:
All I. All I. All I hope is that if we go into an election, which supposedly I looked it up. They're predicting October 2025 for usually fall sometime, right? Yeah. But if. All I ask is that the people of Canada that you exercise your right to vote because provincially we sucked.

Lisa [00:19:05]:
We did not. As a province In Saskatchewan, only 53% of people went out and voted. And that's embarrassing.

Samantha [00:19:11]:
It is embarrassing.

Lisa [00:19:12]:
Right.

Samantha [00:19:12]:
Because then I think the percentage of the population that did not vote, I need you to. I need you to shut your trap. So then I be quiet then.

Lisa [00:19:20]:
You know what I think then? If I'm standing other than with you because I know you voted and my husband voted, then I think if I'm standing with anybody else, 50%. One of us voted, one of us didn't. This conversation. Shut it.

Samantha [00:19:31]:
Shut it.

Lisa [00:19:32]:
Shut your mouth. Don't you dare.

Samantha [00:19:34]:
Don't you dare. If you didn't vote, I need you to keep it quiet. Keep a lid on it. Keep your thoughts to Yourself.

Lisa [00:19:41]:
And if America goes into a tailspin, like it's being flushed down the toilet, you gotta zip it. You gotta zip it, because this is what you wanted, so this is what you get, right?

Samantha [00:19:52]:
I hope for the best.

Lisa [00:19:53]:
Thanks for the fun. I enjoyed. I enjoyed the 107 days.

Samantha [00:19:57]:
You enjoyed it a lot.

Lisa [00:19:59]:
Totally. 107 days. I enjoyed every 107 days. Loved every second of it.

Samantha [00:20:06]:
Oh, dear God.

Lisa [00:20:07]:
Samantha. Okay, but you know what? Now that we're getting. That's starting to get cold out. Hey, feel that wind?

Samantha [00:20:14]:
It was brutal.

Lisa [00:20:15]:
The wind, right? Like, it's starting to feel like, like, like, like cold. Like December almost, right? And making me think a little bit about Christmas got me thinking. Mike brought home a box of Christmas oranges the other day. Like the ones that are easy to peel. Yes. And it made me think, you know what? Back in our day, Gen X days, right, There were two things that signaled the holidays, right? One were those oranges. And the number two was the Sears catalog.

Samantha [00:20:41]:
Oh, I was just thinking about the Sears catalog the other day, because life.

Lisa [00:20:45]:
Was so much easier with the Sears catalog.

Samantha [00:20:48]:
Oh, you could go in and you could, like, circle stuff or, like, bookmark it. Mom, this is what I want.

Lisa [00:20:53]:
Like, did you and your siblings, like, like, like you had two siblings? I had two siblings. Did you guys. Did you guys, like, have a. Have a. Like, we had a system. Like, the oldest sibling got it first. Christy got it first, right? I think she used the red pen and I got the blue pen and Krista got whatever was left over. Crayon, probably.

Lisa [00:21:09]:
Right? Nobody cared about what she wanted by the time it was done. All right. All the good stuff had already been circled.

Samantha [00:21:16]:
No, I don't believe we had a system. I think is whoever got to it first.

Lisa [00:21:20]:
Oh, no, we had a system, right? All right. Just like with the Tiger Beat magazines. Oldest sister got it first.

Samantha [00:21:25]:
Oh, God.

Lisa [00:21:26]:
He took the good posters and then down it went.

Samantha [00:21:29]:
You got the rest.

Lisa [00:21:30]:
But that was the thing, right? So. So to me, I get that we have, like. We have, like, you know, we could scroll and we can, like, look through stuff online and that. But the Sears catalog was so much better than that.

Samantha [00:21:42]:
It was like, I don't know, it was just an event, like, don't you think? Total an event.

Lisa [00:21:48]:
And you just planned everything. You were like, okay, I can get Dad a new rope. Because look at that gray haired man in a robe and maybe some slippers, right? And look at Mom. She could use some perfume. Yeah, right? She could use some perfume. It looks like. And they got a good deal on perfume.

Samantha [00:22:07]:
You went looking for clothes and shoes and the whole. And then you were so excited to see the toy section. Right?

Lisa [00:22:13]:
Right.

Samantha [00:22:14]:
That was the big fun.

Lisa [00:22:15]:
Toys. Right. And every year, my mom would be like, you kids are gonna need new snow suits. You'd find your snowsuit. Right? Yeah. Circle. I'll take this snowsuit. I hope Santa brings me this snowsuit.

Lisa [00:22:26]:
And then you never understood how. Because Santa was always on the COVID Right. You never understood how Santa knew what everybody's wish book looked like. Oh, Santa knew. Right. Because that's what you got. You got your wishes from the wishes.

Samantha [00:22:39]:
You, like, fully embraced this whole, like, Santa, Santa thing.

Lisa [00:22:44]:
Totally.

Samantha [00:22:45]:
Were you crushed when you were told that it wasn't real?

Lisa [00:22:47]:
Heartbroken and way too old. Because every year I would say to my mom, marty Petter says, there's no Santa. My mom would be like, what do you think? Well, I think there is. Then there is. Okay. Off to grade eight I'd go, Right? Because my mom loved Christmas, too. Right. So she wasn't letting it go with her kids.

Samantha [00:23:10]:
Oh, dear.

Lisa [00:23:11]:
It was so funny. And, like, so. Yeah, for sure. But when I finally realized that there was no Santa, I also. The exact same conversation. I looked at my mom and I'm like, I bet there's no Easter Bunny or Tooth Fairy either, is there? She's like, no, no. But Santa lives in your heart, Samantha. Santa lives in your heart.

Lisa [00:23:29]:
Okay.

Samantha [00:23:29]:
Yep.

Lisa [00:23:29]:
So he's with you all the time, so as long as you believe. And then my mom would say, do you want to take a chance and not believe in Santa? No. Because then what do you do? Right? You just get underwear for Christmas. Right. That's how it always was. Oh, my God.

Samantha [00:23:46]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:23:46]:
Next memory.

Samantha [00:23:48]:
I miss that part of being a kid, you know?

Lisa [00:23:51]:
You would just sit with that magazine with that book. Right. For hours.

Samantha [00:23:55]:
Orange.

Lisa [00:23:56]:
You'd be like, oh, imagine if we had this olive green stove, Mom. It would be so cool. Right? Julia Lowe has this color stove. Right. Like, you just. Everything. Everything in your life could relate to that book somehow.

Samantha [00:24:10]:
I know. It was. It was pretty cool. I think we had a pretty cool childhood because it was just sort of. I don't know.

Lisa [00:24:16]:
It was whimsical.

Samantha [00:24:18]:
Yeah. I think that was a good word.

Lisa [00:24:21]:
Right? I think it was whimsical.

Samantha [00:24:22]:
It was. Now it's kind of new. It's so like, yeah, I got a phone. I'm all techie. I don't need this. It's like, how do you get Google?

Lisa [00:24:33]:
I can Google. Is There. Santa. No.

Samantha [00:24:35]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:24:35]:
Okay.

Samantha [00:24:36]:
No. No, there isn't. Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:24:38]:
Whimsical's over.

Samantha [00:24:39]:
Yeah. Internet, you're bad.

Lisa [00:24:41]:
Yeah, like the killer of. It's the killer of make believe. Oh, right. That's what I think of the Internet. It's the killer of make believe.

Samantha [00:24:48]:
It is.

Lisa [00:24:49]:
Right. Which is too bad, because you know what? It was okay, being in grade eight and believing in Santa.

Samantha [00:24:56]:
I believe. I believe in Christmas. I believe in the spirit of Christmas.

Lisa [00:24:59]:
Yeah, you do. You do.

Samantha [00:25:01]:
I'm all in now.

Lisa [00:25:02]:
You're that girl.

Samantha [00:25:03]:
You're that girl.

Lisa [00:25:04]:
Samantha, right? Totally.

Samantha [00:25:06]:
But, Lisa, I. I need us to talk about a very serious topic.

Lisa [00:25:10]:
Okay?

Samantha [00:25:11]:
It's. It's whether or not you've screwed up your P. And you have the just in case P. Because I've read. I've read. Hold your horses.

Lisa [00:25:20]:
Okay?

Samantha [00:25:20]:
I've read that if you have. If you form a bad habit for your bladder of a just in case P, you have to retrain your bladder.

Lisa [00:25:30]:
I love and advocate for a just.

Samantha [00:25:35]:
In case P. No, you're training your bladder to empty before it's full, causing your bladder to signal dysfunction.

Lisa [00:25:42]:
No, it's not dysfunction. It feels like it has to.

Samantha [00:25:45]:
It's bad for you. It's bad for your bladder. Like.

Lisa [00:25:47]:
Like if I have a beverage of some sort. Like if I'm at work and I have a coffee in my office, I'm. Even if I don't have to pee, I'm going to pee before I go about the rest of my day because I know.

Samantha [00:25:59]:
And you know what? You shouldn't. You should just wait for your body to signal if you have to pee.

Lisa [00:26:03]:
No, because you know my whole theory, right? If I'm going to drink that drink, I'm not going to waste the pee that's coming with it.

Samantha [00:26:08]:
I know, because you're just.

Lisa [00:26:09]:
I have a just in case pee. I am a just in case peer. Okay, but if you don't do. Here's the. Okay, here's the thing. No, no, listen. Here's the thing. If you don't do a just in case pee, you're going to.

Lisa [00:26:22]:
Oops. Pee your pants. You're going to pee your pants.

Samantha [00:26:25]:
Well, okay. We're women of a certain age, so totally can happen.

Lisa [00:26:29]:
You're going to pee your pants.

Samantha [00:26:30]:
But just hear me out. Shut your trap for five seconds. On average, most people should go to the washroom five to eight times a day or every two to three hours. And if you're over the age of 50, getting up to go once a Night to pee is also considered typical.

Lisa [00:26:44]:
Okay, okay. There you go.

Samantha [00:26:46]:
So according to the pelvic health using.

Lisa [00:26:48]:
That as an excuse to have a bad sleep every time.

Samantha [00:26:50]:
No, I don't. I don't get up and be actually pelvic health physiotherapists will discuss strategies like proper hydration, avoiding bladder irritants, urge delay techniques, and pelvic floor muscle training.

Lisa [00:27:04]:
I'm not doing Kegel exercises to not pee. Right. Those are good.

Samantha [00:27:11]:
I shake my head at this because I'm like, okay. That's the problem is that we're of an age where, God, if I don't go pee and I better go just pee and I can't find a washroom, I don't got enough like muscle storage to like this not to be a bad situation.

Lisa [00:27:31]:
When all my I am saying in my mind is don't pee your pants. Don't pee your pants.

Samantha [00:27:36]:
Don't pee your pants.

Lisa [00:27:37]:
It's because I miss. I do one of two things. I either don't have it just in case pee or I doing something too long when I know I should pee. Danger, danger, danger. Right? Yeah.

Samantha [00:27:52]:
In your hoo.

Lisa [00:27:52]:
Ha. That you should pee. But yet you're like, I'm just going to finish this email. And then by the time you get, you're like, oh, right. And you're on button on the way to the bathroom hoping. Because you know that that time is precious.

Samantha [00:28:07]:
It's your. The time that you could appear and it was okay, has been long gone. And you're now urgent. Urgent, urgent, right?

Lisa [00:28:15]:
And if you're in a public place and you got to lock that bathroom and get your pan and done and get turned around and sit down, there's a lot that can derail right there so quick, right? And all of a sudden, oh, my God, yes, you've had a pee episode, right? You've had a. You've had a mistake. You've had.

Samantha [00:28:30]:
You've done a little tinkle, right?

Lisa [00:28:32]:
You've done a little tinkle, right? And then what are you doing? You're working from your office for the rest of the afternoon.

Samantha [00:28:38]:
You are. Yep. It's totally happening.

Lisa [00:28:41]:
Because guess what, adults, you still smell like pee.

Samantha [00:28:43]:
Yes, you do.

Lisa [00:28:44]:
Right.

Samantha [00:28:45]:
Okay. But I also, I also have concerns about a winter vagina.

Lisa [00:28:51]:
I don't understand about you. I don't. Do I feel your vagina?

Samantha [00:28:55]:
Winter. Winter vagina is a thing. Apparently in the winter months, you get a little dry down there. You get a little dry in your vagina. So you gotta like, you gotta Hydrate your vagina.

Lisa [00:29:06]:
Like with what not.

Samantha [00:29:09]:
It's not even you know what it is.

Lisa [00:29:11]:
I don't want to know.

Samantha [00:29:12]:
So just in case pee is going to cause you to pee more or I don't piss you up. And now winter months, Winter months, you have to hydrate your vagina.

Lisa [00:29:24]:
I don't. How do you do.

Samantha [00:29:26]:
I don't want to know how you do that.

Lisa [00:29:28]:
And here's the thing, right?

Samantha [00:29:29]:
And we look forward to not having to shave.

Lisa [00:29:31]:
Yeah.

Samantha [00:29:31]:
So it's like you don't shave your legs, you don't shave your pits, you don't shave your who off, right?

Lisa [00:29:36]:
Like, right. We go back to the 70s during the winter.

Samantha [00:29:40]:
Much happening down there.

Lisa [00:29:42]:
And here's the problem, right? You start hydrating your vagina, it's going to start thinking it's going to get something happening and it's not. You're sending it a fake message.

Samantha [00:29:52]:
Well, I mean, you have to be careful of the ph balance. And actually, you know what?

Lisa [00:29:56]:
I actually needed to stay dry.

Samantha [00:30:00]:
Well, yes, you would love for it to be the Sahara desert, but whatever.

Lisa [00:30:04]:
Just dry that sucker up.

Samantha [00:30:06]:
That motherfucker.

Lisa [00:30:07]:
Dry that fucker up. Right? Who needs it?

Samantha [00:30:09]:
I'm just saying there's like a lot to think about and I just feel like I don't have the time nor do I have the patience to deal.

Lisa [00:30:20]:
That's too much.

Samantha [00:30:21]:
It is a lot.

Lisa [00:30:22]:
That's too much, right?

Samantha [00:30:23]:
Gotta worry about your winter vagina. Just in case people, what am I doing?

Lisa [00:30:27]:
Am I going and buying like a bottle of lube and I'm like, just like treat. Treating myself to some pleasure time.

Samantha [00:30:34]:
Like, what is that? Like. Oh, what did they call it back in the day? Oh, a douche.

Lisa [00:30:40]:
Oh yeah, a douche. Right?

Samantha [00:30:41]:
Madison Gill Mashing Gill.

Lisa [00:30:43]:
Yeah, douche.

Samantha [00:30:45]:
I always thought those things were bad for you.

Lisa [00:30:47]:
I think they dry you up. Maybe that's.

Samantha [00:30:49]:
I think they are an irritant.

Lisa [00:30:51]:
Yeah. I don't know.

Samantha [00:30:52]:
And we've been led to believe that it's. I think needs to smell like a flower down.

Lisa [00:30:58]:
I'm just gonna say this, right. I think anything that goes down there is an irritant, actually.

Samantha [00:31:03]:
Stop it. All right?

Lisa [00:31:06]:
Spoken like a true 24 mere married woman. Okay, you know what I've been missing? I've been thinking this. I thought this the other day. Do you ever miss when we were ahead? Remember we had to self isolate? Yes. I came across something. It must have been a memory or something and. Or I don't know, something I read and it was like from My history. And it was like, oh, day five of self isolation.

Lisa [00:31:33]:
Like, remember when Covid first started and we had like. Remember we went like, like we went two months with like, self isolating.

Samantha [00:31:39]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:31:40]:
You ever miss that?

Samantha [00:31:42]:
I. You know what? It was weird, right? Because you had to slap. I. Sweet. I went back to work after two months, I think.

Lisa [00:31:51]:
Right.

Samantha [00:31:52]:
And then it was no other employees except for the immediate supervisors.

Lisa [00:31:57]:
Yeah.

Samantha [00:31:58]:
And it was weird because you were in this gigantic building and there was nobody there. So weird. So, so weird, right?

Lisa [00:32:04]:
To go get like, like everything. Like, we just were. So it's like, I only trust me to be safe. I don't trust you. Yeah, right. I remember getting with you and you were all masked up and I was masked up and I'm like, ah, it. I don't care.

Samantha [00:32:18]:
Yeah, it was really weird.

Lisa [00:32:20]:
Fine. And remember, you had to define who your people were going to be. Yeah. And remember when you went places, you had to sign a book saying you were there in case there was a good outbreak. Yeah. Well, Lisa and Sam, they were here. Pizza. Right.

Samantha [00:32:35]:
We gotta tell them.

Lisa [00:32:37]:
Gotta tell them there was a Covet and those two. Yeah, yeah, we were there. We signed the book. Yeah.

Samantha [00:32:41]:
I don't know. I guess maybe isolation is the same as, like just having a mini vacation on your own.

Lisa [00:32:48]:
Yeah, right, Right. Exactly.

Samantha [00:32:53]:
Yeah. I mean, maybe some people would like to go back to that, but it's kind of nice to mingle with people too.

Lisa [00:32:58]:
Like, mingling is nice. Remember and like, remember and. Yeah. It was like being like in the Footloose days. Right? You couldn't dance. Right. Remember you. You could only drink alcohol till 8, 8pm because covet was coming to get you at 9.

Samantha [00:33:12]:
Yeah. Yeah.

Lisa [00:33:14]:
Couldn't.

Samantha [00:33:14]:
We couldn't get. We couldn't get more drunk after nine.

Lisa [00:33:17]:
Nope. Nope. Right. Covet's coming. Covet's coming. Gotta get you out. Gotta get you out safe. Covet's coming.

Samantha [00:33:22]:
Yeah, there were some weird restrictions, but.

Lisa [00:33:25]:
Yeah. You know, but look at, look at us now. But now it's nice that we can kind of look back and laugh at it. Right?

Samantha [00:33:33]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:33:34]:
At how extreme it was.

Samantha [00:33:36]:
It was fairly traumatizing during it.

Lisa [00:33:38]:
So I feel like. I think I felt. Because you're like such a by the rules girl, I thought that. I felt that you internalized the trauma more than I. More than I did.

Samantha [00:33:50]:
You bucked every trend as long as you thought you could get away with it.

Lisa [00:33:54]:
I'm like, I feel fine. I think it's okay.

Samantha [00:33:56]:
And I couldn't.

Lisa [00:33:57]:
I'm Like, I can't imagine it's really as bad as what they're saying. Right. Like, come on, people. Shake it off. Right? Shake it up. This is ridiculous. This Covid. I was like, anti Covid, but I got the shots.

Samantha [00:34:10]:
Yeah, anti Covid, but he got shots. Just in case.

Lisa [00:34:13]:
Just in case. Right. I'm not stupid. Not stupid. Samantha. All right.

Samantha [00:34:19]:
That's what you say.

Lisa [00:34:20]:
That's what I say. That's what I say.

Samantha [00:34:23]:
Okay. I have a thing about fig Newtons. I think they're disgusting, and apparently they're. Now they're becoming a thing again. And I'm like, why. Why would you ever want to bring a fig Newton back into anyone's world?

Lisa [00:34:34]:
Why were they. They were only ever a thing because back in 1920, Grandma and Grandpa didn't have any choices. They had the arrow root and the fig Newton fig. Right. Those were the two cookies.

Samantha [00:34:44]:
Yeah. I just. I don't.

Lisa [00:34:47]:
What is that thing? Like, is it. It's a date. It's a date.

Samantha [00:34:50]:
It's a fig. Is it like a. Well, a fig is a fig and a date is a date, so. But the fig has, like, chewy things in it. It's, like, really weird, kind of.

Lisa [00:34:59]:
It's kind of, like, stringy.

Samantha [00:35:01]:
Yeah. And it's got a bad taste.

Lisa [00:35:03]:
Yeah. Like, I was at a. I was at a function and they had. They had bacon wrapped dates, and I didn't know that's what it was. I just heard bacon wrapped and I ate it and I was like, oh. I was like. I felt I had, like, a flashback to, like, Nana's date muffins.

Samantha [00:35:16]:
Yeah. Cause you gotta, like, dates, and I don't.

Lisa [00:35:18]:
I'm like, oh, you can't. Who would have thought something around bacon was gonna be horrible? But it was horrible. Bacon didn't make it better.

Samantha [00:35:26]:
I know, but I'll eat a prune.

Lisa [00:35:28]:
Prune's different. And a prune's helpful.

Samantha [00:35:31]:
Right.

Lisa [00:35:31]:
We're probably getting close to our prune years.

Samantha [00:35:33]:
We are getting close to our prune years.

Lisa [00:35:35]:
We're getting close to our prune years. So prunes are fin.

Samantha [00:35:38]:
Prunes are fine.

Lisa [00:35:39]:
I don't mind prunes. In the morning, I would eat prunes. I don't want to drink the juice, but I'll eat a prune.

Samantha [00:35:43]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:35:44]:
When we were kids, we used to eat prunes with my nana.

Samantha [00:35:47]:
Oh.

Lisa [00:35:48]:
We had breakfast in bed with her every Sunday. Me and my kid sister and granddad always brought her prunes. We didn't know why, but now we do. Right. She just Boiled them up or warmed them up on the stove. And yeah, there we all had prunes.

Samantha [00:36:04]:
Oh, that's a nice treat.

Lisa [00:36:06]:
That was what Anna was having, right? We're having breakfast with Nana, so that's what we did. So I say thumbs down to the fake Newton. What the fuck? Keep that away.

Samantha [00:36:15]:
Yeah, let's stop that.

Lisa [00:36:16]:
Why? Why is it still being made?

Samantha [00:36:18]:
I don't know. Because obviously people still eat it.

Lisa [00:36:21]:
Like, friends of the podcast and who's eating a fake Newton? Oh, I need to know.

Samantha [00:36:25]:
We need to know.

Lisa [00:36:26]:
We need to know. You know. And if you don't tell us, it's going to be asked on Sunday. We need to get to the bottom of this. We need to find out who's listening to the podcast and while they eat, because we're going to ask you not to. We're going to anti Fig Newton.

Samantha [00:36:40]:
Please list your two best reasons of why you would eat a Fig Newton.

Lisa [00:36:43]:
Right? Oh, I have no reasons. I have no reasons whatsoever. Okay. But here's something I read about. Okay. You know the car company Hertz?

Samantha [00:36:52]:
Yes.

Lisa [00:36:53]:
Okay. And yeah, I'm calling them out Hertz. I think they're worldwide. Okay. Yeah. There was a guy and he was charged $10,000 after he put 25,000 kilometers or miles on his rental, even though the contract said unlimited mileage. What do you think about that?

Samantha [00:37:18]:
I think where's the finer fine print in that? Because if it says unlimited mileage, why would he get charged more?

Lisa [00:37:25]:
Because obviously that's excessive, right?

Samantha [00:37:28]:
Well, 10,000 kilometers is pretty excessive.

Lisa [00:37:31]:
25,000 kilometers. Yeah, totally excessive. Right?

Samantha [00:37:36]:
Huh.

Lisa [00:37:36]:
But if it doesn't say. And if he was just like, say, driving across Canada or across America and he rented the car, oh, my God.

Samantha [00:37:47]:
I hope this never happens to you because you would lose your bananas. Like, oh, my God.

Lisa [00:37:53]:
Because I hate car companies.

Samantha [00:37:55]:
You do. And you have the worst luck with them.

Lisa [00:37:58]:
I do. And I'm. And I'm my own worst enemy because I'm not nice, I'm rude. I start off mad. I have a scowl. I'm like, yeah, hi, I'm here to. You do.

Samantha [00:38:08]:
She does. Friends of the podcast. I've witnessed it several times. She starts off immediately in a bad mood. It's like very upset with the person in front of her.

Lisa [00:38:16]:
It's very unleash select. To be honest, I've had years of shitty experience with car companies, and I'm prepared.

Samantha [00:38:24]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:38:25]:
And every time there's something wrong, every time they're like, well, if you don't like, well, you're gonna have to get a different car.

Samantha [00:38:31]:
The last time you were.

Lisa [00:38:34]:
I was not.

Samantha [00:38:34]:
I'm too impressed.

Lisa [00:38:35]:
None too impressed. Right. Because I wanted a car with gps and there's some cars that don't have gps. And I get it. If I'm familiar with the city, I get. I can download it onto my phone. But I'm not familiar with the city and I want to see it on the dashboard. Give me that car.

Lisa [00:38:51]:
That's the car I'd like. Please. But we don't have them. You must have one. You must have one. It's not the one I'm sitting in. So we have a problem.

Samantha [00:38:59]:
But not for the $5 you just paid for this car.

Lisa [00:39:02]:
Right. And that's kind of what they. Well, you're gonna have to upgrade. Why should I have to upgrade? Right. Didn't say anywhere in the fine print that there was no GPS system. Yeah, didn't say that I was renting a car that was so foreign and so fancy. I don't want that. I do.

Lisa [00:39:16]:
What do I want, Samantha? I just want an economy car.

Samantha [00:39:19]:
You. Oh, God.

Lisa [00:39:20]:
I just want a small car. Right. Because that's what I drive at home.

Samantha [00:39:23]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:39:23]:
Yeah. I just want what the picture shows me.

Samantha [00:39:26]:
Yeah. So to all the car companies out there, treat her well. It's all you got to do is treat her well.

Lisa [00:39:32]:
Yeah. Because this would happen to me. This would happen to me. I would put 25,000km going to visit everybody on my trip, right. And I would get fine. And I'd be like, show me where. And they'd be like, well, the expectation is what would.

Samantha [00:39:47]:
Okay, so unless they outline that upon you know, renting the vehicle, like, how would I ever. This many kilometers.

Lisa [00:39:56]:
You're gonna get charged.

Samantha [00:39:57]:
You're gonna get charged more. And if they didn't do that, I hope this guy did not pay that bill.

Lisa [00:40:01]:
I think he has not gotten it taken off of his credit card yet.

Samantha [00:40:04]:
Last I heard, they just charged his credit card.

Lisa [00:40:07]:
Credit card.

Samantha [00:40:08]:
You little bastard.

Lisa [00:40:09]:
Right? You imagine me.

Samantha [00:40:12]:
I'd lose my sh.

Lisa [00:40:14]:
I would be your worst motherfucking nightmare.

Samantha [00:40:17]:
Why can't his credit card company dispute it?

Lisa [00:40:20]:
Because it's from the car. Because of what's to dispute? He had the car.

Samantha [00:40:25]:
But the contract says it's unlimited mileage.

Lisa [00:40:28]:
Apparently it's an argument between. That. The car company is saying that's excessive. That's not what we mean when we say unlimited.

Samantha [00:40:36]:
I'm sorry. Please read a final word, unlimited, for me.

Lisa [00:40:41]:
Could you pull out the dictionary, please, and use it in a sentence because I feel that it's probably really close to the same type of meaning as infinity. Yeah, right. What? Mine to use how I'd like.

Samantha [00:40:55]:
Oh, my God. Yeah, you could just.

Lisa [00:40:58]:
So pissed.

Samantha [00:40:59]:
Tell me your definition of unlimited and then we're on the same page, right?

Lisa [00:41:04]:
Because I think unlimited means unlimited. You think unlimited means it comes with a restriction. That's really two different things. Yeah, right. And again, show me. Show me in the contract in the fine print that doesn't exist. Right. Oh, I'd be livid.

Samantha [00:41:19]:
Oh. And you know, and to be honest, like, you and I, we've been almost our entire lives in customer service. Right? Our adult lives. And it's like, that would be. I would. I would be the person. I'd be like, I don't want to do this. You gonna get mad.

Samantha [00:41:37]:
It's gonna get ugly.

Lisa [00:41:39]:
Gonna be horrible.

Samantha [00:41:40]:
I wouldn't be horrible. I want to do this.

Lisa [00:41:42]:
Right. You see the look on his face? He's mad.

Samantha [00:41:45]:
I'd be like, excuse me, will I get the manager?

Lisa [00:41:48]:
Right, Totally. Or the head. Mr. Hertz.

Samantha [00:41:51]:
Yeah, right.

Lisa [00:41:52]:
Hi, Mr. Hertz. You're gonna need to deal with that. It's Lisa at the car rental window. You're gonna have to deal with this when I'm patching them through to you. Oh, God. You tell them, right? I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. Yeah, right.

Samantha [00:42:06]:
I don't know.

Lisa [00:42:07]:
Oh, my God. What the fuck?

Samantha [00:42:09]:
Ugh. Please redefine unlimited for me.

Lisa [00:42:12]:
Redefine unlimited. Right. I shake my head at that company. Ah, totally.

Samantha [00:42:18]:
I shake my head.

Lisa [00:42:19]:
Totally.

Samantha [00:42:20]:
Okay, so I think we gotta talk about this. And you know that we're fans of Jason Kelsey.

Lisa [00:42:26]:
We are.

Samantha [00:42:27]:
And something happened to him. I believe it was last weekend.

Lisa [00:42:31]:
He's always getting himself into a little bit of hot water.

Samantha [00:42:34]:
Oh, my God. He apparently was being followed by a kid on Penn State. At Penn State. And this kid was following him and he started saying some unnecessary words about his brother. I believe it was a homophobic slur.

Lisa [00:42:51]:
Nice.

Samantha [00:42:51]:
And he turned around, grabbed the kid's phone, threw it on the ground, and said something back to him.

Lisa [00:42:59]:
Right?

Samantha [00:43:00]:
And the kid's like, give me my phone. And he. I don't know what happened after that. So you know what, kid? You shouldn't been doing that.

Lisa [00:43:08]:
No, totally.

Samantha [00:43:10]:
Jason is very protective of his family.

Lisa [00:43:13]:
But anybody would be, like, pissed off that somebody did that.

Samantha [00:43:16]:
So this was the around and find out version of JC Kelsey because it.

Lisa [00:43:22]:
Didn'T go so well.

Samantha [00:43:23]:
Yeah, but this is my take Dude, I get it. I love Jason. Kelsey, I think that he did it for all the right reasons. How he reacted, maybe not that great, but it doesn't matter because the kid need to be taught a lesson.

Lisa [00:43:36]:
Sure.

Samantha [00:43:37]:
So what I think needs to happen is the dude needs a PR team and a security. And security to keep him out of trouble.

Lisa [00:43:44]:
Right.

Samantha [00:43:44]:
He is too popular now. He's too popular to just roam free.

Lisa [00:43:50]:
And for whatever reason, his wife. Like what? His wife needs to take him home. Go. What the. Stop it. I need you to stop this right now.

Samantha [00:44:00]:
She.

Lisa [00:44:00]:
She distanced herself so nicely. Hey. She's like, Jason, who? Pretty sure I'm just here to watch a football game. Right. I don't wear his colors. I don't walk with him. Jason, who? Right? He is on his own.

Samantha [00:44:14]:
And I just like somebody around him needs to tell him. You are now on Monday Night Football. You're now talking foot. You're. You're out even more. Even though you're not playing football anymore, you're even more in the. In the eye of Totally fans. Right.

Samantha [00:44:30]:
And people love him. And why this kid decided to taunt him.

Lisa [00:44:34]:
Yeah.

Samantha [00:44:35]:
Who the hell knows?

Lisa [00:44:36]:
Yeah. Okay, But. But why can't he still be a hothead? If that's his personality, why can't he be a hothead?

Samantha [00:44:41]:
Okay, but. However, I still think he needs a PR team and security to walk around. He cannot walk on his own anymore. He cannot go places just by himself. Not when there's big crowds. I think he's walking into trouble. And everybody knows he's a hot head.

Lisa [00:44:57]:
Totally. Right. So they're just going to push the button.

Samantha [00:44:59]:
Well, they're waiting for the viral moment. Right?

Lisa [00:45:01]:
Right.

Samantha [00:45:02]:
So it's just ridiculous.

Lisa [00:45:04]:
Totally. Just like I think every pet or every dog owner who puts their dog in a new sweater is waiting for that viral moment, too. You know what? I shake my head at these people because I get that the dog needs to be warm, but he didn't used to have to be warm because that's why he has fur to keep him warm. I think that when these owners put their dogs in these ridiculous little sweaters, I feel it's like their childhood doll. And I get there's going to be some pushback. People won't be happy.

Samantha [00:45:31]:
People like to dress their dogs and cats and things.

Lisa [00:45:34]:
Right? And I think it's weird.

Samantha [00:45:36]:
It's what they like to do, Lisa. So.

Lisa [00:45:37]:
I know, but I think it's because.

Samantha [00:45:38]:
You think it weird. It's weird. Does not mean that it's a bad.

Lisa [00:45:41]:
Thing like I get at Christmas. We put a Christmas hat on Maggie. That's Christmas. That's holidays. It's festive. It's different. It's not all the time, but you don't see Maggie in a sweater.

Samantha [00:45:51]:
Maggie's a fake cat, so. Nope, she wouldn't be.

Lisa [00:45:53]:
Well. And she's indoors. Right. So she'd be hot.

Samantha [00:45:56]:
She's a fake cat that doesn't move.

Lisa [00:45:58]:
So the fur keeps stuffed. The fur keeps her warm. Okay, Right. I'm just saying I shake my head at that. Okay, well, I'm saying I shake my bed. Okay, Right.

Samantha [00:46:08]:
All right.

Lisa [00:46:09]:
It's. I see it. I see it. I see it. I see it. It's a parade of dogs and their new sweaters. It's like first day of school. Who got my sweater?

Samantha [00:46:19]:
I don't agree with you, so don't expect me to.

Lisa [00:46:21]:
I know you don't. I know you don't.

Samantha [00:46:23]:
I never put my cat in a sweater, but I. My mother's dog is in a sweater.

Lisa [00:46:28]:
All the time, and she's fine without a sweater.

Samantha [00:46:31]:
No, she actually gets cold because she's.

Lisa [00:46:33]:
Been trained to get cold.

Samantha [00:46:35]:
No, she has.

Lisa [00:46:36]:
She has.

Samantha [00:46:37]:
No, she hasn't.

Lisa [00:46:38]:
Yes. In 1980, she would have been fine with just her fur coat on.

Samantha [00:46:42]:
No.

Lisa [00:46:42]:
Yes.

Samantha [00:46:43]:
No.

Lisa [00:46:43]:
Yes. No. Yes.

Samantha [00:46:45]:
Dogs get cold, too.

Lisa [00:46:47]:
They didn't used to. We've made them get cold. We trained to think that they're cold.

Samantha [00:46:51]:
It's humane to give them little booties and a little sweater.

Lisa [00:46:54]:
Don't need little booties.

Samantha [00:46:56]:
Goggles.

Lisa [00:46:56]:
If they're writing, they don't need goggle. I can't. I can't count with you.

Samantha [00:47:02]:
Just because you're shaking your head doesn't mean the rest of the world doesn't.

Lisa [00:47:05]:
That's fine. Right? Make sure it's at Lisa. I shake my head. Right. Please.

Samantha [00:47:13]:
Yes. That would be great.

Lisa [00:47:14]:
Right. Sam's not dealing with that complaint.

Samantha [00:47:16]:
No, I'm not.

Lisa [00:47:17]:
No.

Samantha [00:47:18]:
And just for the record, I'm with Jason Kelsey. Just for the record. And he did apologize on Monday Night Football. Yeah, it wasn't an apology. It was more like an explanation, but.

Lisa [00:47:27]:
It'S after the fact. So how he felt.

Samantha [00:47:29]:
Yeah. So it's just throwing it out there.

Lisa [00:47:31]:
Somebody made him apologize.

Samantha [00:47:33]:
Stop talking.

Lisa [00:47:34]:
Right. I'm just saying.

Samantha [00:47:35]:
Stop talking.

Lisa [00:47:36]:
Right.

Samantha [00:47:38]:
You're gonna be rude about this, too, but I'm gonna mention it anyway.

Lisa [00:47:40]:
Okay.

Samantha [00:47:41]:
Valerie Bertinelli, she went on social media and she was like, oh, this is my new boyfriend, and I'm so happy. And we're so excited. And now it's done.

Lisa [00:47:50]:
Now it's done because she is the new JLo.

Samantha [00:47:52]:
No, she's not.

Lisa [00:47:54]:
You can't keep a man who cares. He goes through them like. Like socks.

Samantha [00:48:00]:
Val, Valerie Bertinelli does not go through them like that.

Lisa [00:48:03]:
She does. She has issues. She has emotional issues.

Samantha [00:48:07]:
No, she does not.

Lisa [00:48:08]:
She needs to get her mind straightened out before she takes on another man.

Samantha [00:48:12]:
She did. She waited a whole year to date.

Lisa [00:48:14]:
And how did this go? 10 months and it's done. She needs a little longer.

Samantha [00:48:19]:
Dating doesn't always lead to big other things.

Lisa [00:48:23]:
Loved him and cooed about him. And my heart's never been happier.

Samantha [00:48:28]:
So I'm sure at the time, in the moment, she was.

Lisa [00:48:32]:
So what is it then? Who is it? Is it JLo? Or is it Ben? Is it Val? Or is it him?

Samantha [00:48:39]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:48:41]:
It's hard to say, right? I.

Samantha [00:48:43]:
Your judgment pants. You're so judgy right now.

Lisa [00:48:46]:
I'm very judgy. I feel very judgy. It's probably.

Samantha [00:48:50]:
I'm shaking my head at your whole attitude about this. Lisa, I'm shaking my head at you.

Lisa [00:48:54]:
I love Valerie Bertinelli, but I just think that she should not have a man.

Samantha [00:48:59]:
No, stop.

Lisa [00:49:00]:
I do. Because she just.

Samantha [00:49:02]:
Because you think that she had. I think that this is a normal part of her life. She just got out of her marriage.

Lisa [00:49:08]:
Yeah. And then. So then she had a relate. This is the problem. That's fine. Right? I'm not saying she shouldn't date. But then she jumps into the pool. Right.

Lisa [00:49:18]:
Doesn't like what's there. Yeah. Invested time.

Samantha [00:49:20]:
And once you swimming, you have so much experience.

Lisa [00:49:24]:
I don't. I don't. I'm not a swimmer.

Samantha [00:49:27]:
But that never stops you from judging other people.

Lisa [00:49:31]:
I judge others. Right. I'm a judger. I'm a judger. Right.

Samantha [00:49:35]:
Oh, my God.

Lisa [00:49:36]:
Go ahead. You can shake your head at me. That's fine.

Samantha [00:49:38]:
Just be nice. Be nice. Valerie.

Lisa [00:49:40]:
I'm not talking. I love her. I think she's fantastic. I love what she does. I'm just saying. Dear Val, maybe it's just. Maybe it's not working. He's just not that into you.

Lisa [00:49:50]:
It's just not working.

Samantha [00:49:52]:
I think you're jealous.

Lisa [00:49:54]:
Of what? Of nothing. I think I need you to stop talking. That's what I think I need. That's what I think I need. You know what I think's funny? You're always late, and I read an article that put it kind of in perspective for me, because it doesn't make sense why you're late, right? Because you're, you know, you always look good, right? You present well, I'll give you that. But your hairdo should not be whatever holds you back. You. You frequently use.

Lisa [00:50:25]:
Samantha, four of the five easiest hairstyles. Let me tell you about them, right? You got the fluffy pony. I've seen the fluffy pony. You've got the fluffy pony. You've got the claw clip assist, right? You got that thing, right, that clips your hair. You got that. You probably got it in right now.

Samantha [00:50:44]:
No.

Lisa [00:50:45]:
Okay, right. You. Sometimes you got your glossy curls, right? When you just crunch your hair, let it dry natural.

Samantha [00:50:52]:
No, I don't. I use a blow dryer.

Lisa [00:50:54]:
Well, whatever. You get that crunchy like. Like it looks like your hair's all kinky or something weird, right? But they call it glossy curls. And then you got your voluminous bun when you have that big bun on your head, right? And then you have your undone bun. That's your messy bun. Your undone bun.

Samantha [00:51:12]:
I feel like you're talking from a place of jealousy.

Lisa [00:51:15]:
And.

Samantha [00:51:16]:
And I get it. You can't.

Lisa [00:51:18]:
You.

Samantha [00:51:19]:
Your. Your inability to grow your hair or leave it to grow at any length of time.

Lisa [00:51:24]:
I'm working on it.

Samantha [00:51:26]:
It's. It's your problem. But yet somehow you manage to throw that back on me. And then you just make fun of the fact that I can have long hair and that I maintain my long hair, and I think you're just jealous.

Lisa [00:51:38]:
I'm not jealous.

Samantha [00:51:39]:
I should just get a wig. You should just get a long wig. That's what you should do.

Lisa [00:51:44]:
I don't want long hair.

Samantha [00:51:45]:
You should test out different. Different, like cuts?

Lisa [00:51:50]:
No.

Samantha [00:51:50]:
And then see which one you'd be willing to grow your hair out to.

Lisa [00:51:53]:
No, I'm not going to grow. I don't want to fluff you in an undone bun. I don't want to wear an undone bun like you. Right. I don't want to look like you with your messy, undone bun.

Samantha [00:52:03]:
I think my hair is fine.

Lisa [00:52:05]:
That's fine. I'm not saying it's not fine. I'm just saying sometimes you'll be like, sorry, I was doing my hair. And I'm like, you can't use that as an excuse anymore because you have four of the five easiest hairdos.

Samantha [00:52:16]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:52:17]:
Okay, you try doing this one.

Samantha [00:52:20]:
That takes you probably two minutes.

Lisa [00:52:22]:
You know, I'm not giving away my secrets.

Samantha [00:52:24]:
It probably takes you two minutes.

Lisa [00:52:29]:
Oh, Samantha, are you done picking, you.

Samantha [00:52:32]:
Know, at my hairdo?

Lisa [00:52:33]:
I need to pick at Something every episode.

Samantha [00:52:35]:
I don't need to explain why I'm late. You should just be thankful I show up.

Lisa [00:52:39]:
I'm thankful that you show up. And I'm thankful for the free meal that accompanies. You're showing up because. Right, because we don't reward bad behavior.

Samantha [00:52:47]:
And sometimes it's traffic. So deal.

Lisa [00:52:50]:
No, it's only traffic if you're on time late. It's not traffic when you haven't left yet.

Samantha [00:52:57]:
How am I on time late? Because please explain that.

Lisa [00:53:00]:
Because traffic happens like so I would give you it was traffic if I know that you aren't texting me saying leaving now. And you're already late for leaving. Right? So that's not on time traffic.

Samantha [00:53:13]:
Then what is late for leaving? Like if you're your time late for leaving or my time late for leaving?

Lisa [00:53:19]:
Like if we're gonna go out on a Saturday and we. You want to air this? We can air it.

Samantha [00:53:24]:
We're gonna go in front.

Lisa [00:53:26]:
Just makes you look bad. But let's do this right. If we're gonna go out on a Saturday for breakfast and Friday night we'll all. We'll agree that we're gonna meet at.

Samantha [00:53:37]:
9:30, I have to come get you.

Lisa [00:53:40]:
That's fine. But still, we're gonna. You're gonna pick. When you say I'll pick you up at 9:30, that means you've taken into consideration the time it takes to get me. Because you're saying I'm picking you up at 9:30, not I'm leaving my house at 9:30 and then I get to you 20 minutes later, you're already late then. Right? And then throw your make believe traffic in.

Samantha [00:53:58]:
Yeah.

Lisa [00:53:59]:
And it's always make believe Saturday traffic.

Samantha [00:54:01]:
I wish I cared. I really wish I cared.

Lisa [00:54:05]:
I don't care. I'll order the big breakfast with all.

Samantha [00:54:08]:
The sides and then you never eat it and then you look wasteful.

Lisa [00:54:12]:
That's fine. I'm just taking advantage of a free meal. Thank you. Right? It's okay.

Samantha [00:54:17]:
That's fine.

Lisa [00:54:19]:
Yeah, that's okay.

Samantha [00:54:21]:
I got bigger fish to fry. Because apparently winter 2025 or 2024 is being called the year of broccoli soup.

Lisa [00:54:28]:
Ew.

Samantha [00:54:29]:
What the fuck? People, like, do we gotta name a year?

Lisa [00:54:32]:
What?

Samantha [00:54:33]:
Name a season, something. Can we just stop this, please?

Lisa [00:54:36]:
Why does everything have to be the must have item of 2024? 2025.

Samantha [00:54:41]:
Like I'm shaking my head at that. And like, just stop it. It's broccoli soup. It's been around forever.

Lisa [00:54:47]:
It's Not a new invention.

Samantha [00:54:48]:
No.

Lisa [00:54:49]:
Right.

Samantha [00:54:49]:
You did something different with broccoli soup. Maybe it was, like, broccoli and something, right?

Lisa [00:54:55]:
Maybe, like, if we said 2025, winter is the year of Lisa's deconstructed chicken pot pie. Okay, that's new.

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

Lisa [00:55:05]:
That was new, remember?

Samantha [00:55:06]:
What the hell is a deconstruct? We're not having that conversation again. We are not having this conversation again about pot pie. I don't give a. About. I don't even care.

Lisa [00:55:17]:
Remember? And it was like, the noodles.

Samantha [00:55:19]:
No. The.

Lisa [00:55:19]:
No crust.

Samantha [00:55:20]:
No.

Lisa [00:55:21]:
And it just needs a little salt.

Samantha [00:55:23]:
Yes. Oh, I believe you made it, though, didn't you?

Lisa [00:55:25]:
I made it from scratch, from actual picture. I actually made it. I made it.

Samantha [00:55:31]:
Okay, But I'm just saying, if anybody has heard this rumor, I need you guys to squash it. I need you, friends of the podcast, just kill it right now.

Lisa [00:55:39]:
Squash it. We're good. You know what? You know what else I need? I need this myth to be squashed. Everybody says salt's bad for you. I get that. But guess what, people? Sometimes things need to have salt. I had an egg McMuffin the other day. No salt.

Lisa [00:55:52]:
Saltless egg McMuffin. It was so disgusting. It was so disgusting. I had, like, bite. Bite through it.

Samantha [00:55:59]:
And then there are things that come over salted. And then you just think, I need five glasses of water to wash this down.

Lisa [00:56:04]:
Right? So, like, can we remember when they just left salt on the table, and we. We got to decide how much we wanted to use?

Samantha [00:56:11]:
Can I just say this? Do you remember a time when fast food actually was decent?

Lisa [00:56:16]:
Wasn't bad? Yeah, Right? Do you remember before COVID when. When salt and pepper got to stay out on the table? We didn't have to ask for it.

Samantha [00:56:25]:
All that stuff's come back. Calm down.

Lisa [00:56:27]:
Right? I know, but I'm just saying, right? How about I. Did I be in charge of my salt?

Samantha [00:56:31]:
I.

Lisa [00:56:33]:
Right? That's what I want. I want to be in charge of myself. If my soup doesn't have enough salt, I want to be in charge of that, right?

Samantha [00:56:39]:
Don't tell me people.

Lisa [00:56:40]:
Yeah, don't tell me what I do. What I do and don't need. I'll be the boss.

Samantha [00:56:44]:
All right, Calm down.

Lisa [00:56:46]:
I'm just roll. I'm really passionate.

Samantha [00:56:48]:
I'm gonna say it. You're gonna hate it. Calm your tits.

Lisa [00:56:51]:
I hate that phrase so much. No, but I love vulgar.

Samantha [00:56:54]:
Right. Friends of the podcast so much. It's not a gutter thing. There's so many Other words that could be said.

Lisa [00:57:03]:
Right. And you have the capacity. You have the capacity to say them too.

Samantha [00:57:07]:
I do.

Lisa [00:57:08]:
Right.

Samantha [00:57:08]:
You know what? Sometimes I don't give a.

Lisa [00:57:10]:
It just brings you down.

Samantha [00:57:12]:
No, it doesn't.

Lisa [00:57:13]:
Yes. That's a horrible phrase.

Samantha [00:57:14]:
Sometimes you just have to say it because it stops people from moving their mouths.

Lisa [00:57:18]:
Oh, God. It does. It totally does. Because it's. I'm throwing up in my mouth.

Samantha [00:57:23]:
So far, I've only said it to you. I haven't sent it to anyone else, so apparently, I feel like you always need this phrase.

Lisa [00:57:30]:
Lucky me. Lucky me.

Samantha [00:57:33]:
Oh, my God. But you know what's not lucky? Oh, I need people to stop Campbell's this. I feel like I'm complaining a lot about things, but I feel like I'm on a roll. So I'm just gonna keep going.

Lisa [00:57:42]:
Keep it going.

Samantha [00:57:43]:
Campbell's Soup has launched. Launched a new line of candles called side Season.

Lisa [00:57:49]:
That's disgusting.

Samantha [00:57:51]:
Flavors like green bean casserole, apple, fennel and herb stuffing, jalapeno Mac and cheese, and everything bagel seasoned mashed potatoes. What?

Lisa [00:58:01]:
And who has everything? What is an everything seasoned bagel? Mashed potato.

Samantha [00:58:05]:
It smells garlicky and has seeds in it.

Lisa [00:58:08]:
It has onion seed in it. Some.

Samantha [00:58:09]:
Yeah, Like, I shake my head at this. Who. What are we doing?

Lisa [00:58:15]:
Where's the vanilla latte?

Samantha [00:58:17]:
Actually, okay. But when you think about it, if you're not a person who cooks, but you want to smell your. You want your house to smell like you cook.

Lisa [00:58:27]:
I don't want to light a candle.

Samantha [00:58:28]:
You would buy these.

Lisa [00:58:29]:
I would not buy them. Okay. And if you're not a person with a clean vagina, you would buy what's her name, Gwyneth Paltrow's vagina candle. I don't think I would. I don't want to smell like a vagina, and I don't want my host to smell like green bean casserole or.

Samantha [00:58:45]:
Apple fennel and herb stuffing.

Lisa [00:58:47]:
Like, or. Or jalapeno Mac and cheese.

Samantha [00:58:50]:
Oh, that would be so gross.

Lisa [00:58:51]:
And why are you wrecking Mac and cheese with jalapeno?

Samantha [00:58:54]:
Well. And why? Oh, I don't think I could smell Mac and cheese, like, for hours at a time. I think that would be horrible.

Lisa [00:59:01]:
Like. Like, that's. Do you think that would be horrible? Maybe the mashed potato one, maybe.

Samantha [00:59:07]:
Oh, maybe. You know what? Friends of the podcast, maybe weigh in, like, yay or nay. Like, which one would you pick?

Lisa [00:59:16]:
Which one would you use?

Samantha [00:59:17]:
Would you buy them? It's so bad.

Lisa [00:59:20]:
So bad.

Samantha [00:59:21]:
So bad.

Lisa [00:59:22]:
So Bad, Right?

Samantha [00:59:24]:
Oh my God. I just, I don't understand like, you know, for someone who doesn't cook, it's not good. Do I want a green bean can? No, no, no, no.

Lisa [00:59:34]:
I don't want that.

Samantha [00:59:35]:
No.

Lisa [00:59:36]:
I don't want that smell in my. I, you know what, I don't want that smell in my house. I want my house to smell like baking, not cooking. Right. Unless maybe Yorkshire pudding might be okay though. That might taste. It might smell okay. Most beef in Yorkshire pudding, I don't.

Samantha [00:59:52]:
Know like you get. No, because I don't know you. I don't think you want to smell like a turkey for the whole list.

Lisa [00:59:59]:
It's gonna smell like, you know, because then eventually that smells like toots. Eventually, eventually it smells like toots. So no pass on the turkey supper. Right.

Samantha [01:00:08]:
Have you ever had a supper at your parents house and your mom has made a meal and you leave and you smell it in your clothes?

Lisa [01:00:18]:
No, but I've left smelling like cigarettes. I'm sure I have at some point.

Samantha [01:00:26]:
Yeah. Yeah.

Lisa [01:00:28]:
Right.

Samantha [01:00:28]:
That's true. Ah, the days.

Lisa [01:00:30]:
Ah, the days. Right. Where you just. What's that smell? Me? I smell like smoke.

Samantha [01:00:37]:
Oh, I gotta love that. Oh my God.

Lisa [01:00:39]:
That's funny.

Samantha [01:00:41]:
Okay, but because we are talking about, you know, the cold season and we're getting into it, we decided in our, in our Facebook post to talk about when people put up their Christmas tree.

Lisa [01:00:54]:
Totally. Right.

Samantha [01:00:55]:
We got some pretty good responses. We got quite a few and everyone was pretty much on the same page. Like it's not going to happen now. It's going to happen soon enough.

Lisa [01:01:03]:
Blah, blah, blah. Soon. It's soon. It's happening soon.

Samantha [01:01:05]:
But I will, I need to point out a couple.

Lisa [01:01:09]:
Okay.

Samantha [01:01:09]:
Krista, your sister Lisa.

Lisa [01:01:11]:
Oh, she is Mrs. Christmas.

Samantha [01:01:12]:
She's just, she has a three staged approach.

Lisa [01:01:15]:
It's very, she's very classy that way. She is her mother. She is her mother's daughter.

Samantha [01:01:20]:
She is just setting up her tree and then she keeps it up until mid January.

Lisa [01:01:25]:
She does. Because when I go there in January, I still see parts of it.

Samantha [01:01:29]:
Yes, you do.

Lisa [01:01:30]:
I still see parts of the festivities.

Samantha [01:01:33]:
I love that. Krista, this is awesome. I love that you have a three staged approach to decorating.

Lisa [01:01:38]:
Totally. She does. She's got it all planned out. Right.

Samantha [01:01:42]:
I love that.

Lisa [01:01:42]:
Yeah.

Samantha [01:01:44]:
Brett Crawford had their tree up but in October it was Halloween decorations.

Lisa [01:01:49]:
Oh.

Samantha [01:01:50]:
Then November it becomes be a birthday tree for their kids.

Lisa [01:01:54]:
Okay.

Samantha [01:01:54]:
And then in December it becomes Christmas.

Lisa [01:01:56]:
Isn't that interesting?

Samantha [01:01:58]:
Hey, that's kind of A cool way to do it.

Lisa [01:02:00]:
Keeping the spirit.

Samantha [01:02:01]:
I can probably decorate my tree with Hal.

Lisa [01:02:02]:
I want to know. Brett Crawford. What is your tree in July? Is it still up? Is it, Is it, Is it the, the, the Independence Day tree if you're American? Or is it the Canadian date Canada Day tree if you're Canadian?

Samantha [01:02:15]:
Oh.

Lisa [01:02:15]:
Or is it in your basement where it should be boxed up and put? Away? My friend.

Samantha [01:02:19]:
Or is it like one of my friends from high school, I remember that her parents never undid the Christmas tree. They simply moved it upstairs fully done, and all they did was put like a garbage.

Lisa [01:02:36]:
Oh, my goodness. Right.

Samantha [01:02:38]:
And put it back downstairs until Christmas.

Lisa [01:02:41]:
That's too much. Seems too much to me.

Samantha [01:02:44]:
I'm like, now that's the epitome of either being super efficient or super lazy.

Lisa [01:02:48]:
Yeah, totally. Right? Totally.

Samantha [01:02:51]:
I love that. Okay. But Melody does it after the US Thanksgiving or December 1st and has to. And has to take it down by New Year's. Otherwise she says it's going to stay up till Easter.

Lisa [01:03:01]:
Right. Which is a little long. A little long.

Samantha [01:03:03]:
A little long. So I hear you.

Lisa [01:03:05]:
Those were good. There was lots of fun answers with that. Right?

Samantha [01:03:09]:
I like that one.

Lisa [01:03:10]:
And then we had our Tuesday. Right. We had our Facebook Tuesday. Right. One has to go. This week was a little bit more serious. Right. It was well written shows.

Samantha [01:03:18]:
Yeah.

Lisa [01:03:19]:
Shows that have been considered well written. And people hated the Sopranos.

Samantha [01:03:25]:
They totally hated one of my most.

Lisa [01:03:27]:
Favorite shows of all time. Right. They're saying bye bye to Law and Order and then my heart hurt a lot as people were poo pooing the office. Yes. Paula kicks them all. Christina suffered through the Sopranos because her husband liked the show. They only have one tv. Sheri's kicking Friends just because she watched it too much and wants to check out all the other shows.

Lisa [01:03:50]:
So again, some really great comments come from that. Right?

Samantha [01:03:54]:
