Samantha [00:00:25]:
I don't I don't know. I think maybe a little bit better than you.

Lisa [00:00:30]:
You know what? Here's the thing. Right? When you're a pretty girl like me, there's lots of expectations. Right? Lots of expectations when you're a pretty girl like me.

Samantha [00:00:40]:
What exactly what types of expectations do

Lisa [00:00:43]:
you have? I just feel like a Zoe.

Samantha [00:00:46]:
Oh my god.

Lisa [00:00:47]:
With good looks comes good things.

Samantha [00:00:49]:
Yes. It's so there's so much pressure. Right.

Lisa [00:00:52]:
Right? Welcome to my world. This doesn't just happen naturally, you know.

Samantha [00:00:57]:
Oh, yes. I know. It's really hard to, like, get that going on.

Lisa [00:01:02]:
Right. Thank God you're getting yours fixed.

Samantha [00:01:04]:
4 4 swipes of the eyeball and a little scrunchie munchie happening.

Lisa [00:01:09]:
Scrunch. Right? A little scrunch member? What did I do today? I sent you a picture of of member when member member me?

Samantha [00:01:16]:
And what did I tell you?

Lisa [00:01:18]:
You have to grow your hair longer. I'm like,

Samantha [00:01:19]:
I don't think that's it. You're like basically, you were like, fuck off.

Lisa [00:01:23]:
It's funny that people keep saying that, right, when I show them pictures of me.

Samantha [00:01:26]:
Oh, your hair.

Lisa [00:01:29]:
Yeah. But I've never had long hair. So why would I like it longer then? It's been longer than this. I don't know.

Samantha [00:01:36]:
Yes. Grow your hair.

Lisa [00:01:38]:
I don't know. Grow your hair. Well, I'm gonna try to grow it. Right? Maybe one day I want a

Samantha [00:01:44]:
dirty, messy bun too. Oh, yeah. I can't wait.

Lisa [00:01:50]:
It would be this big. Right?

Samantha [00:01:53]:
If you could even contain it in an elastic.

Lisa [00:01:56]:
It would be so big and puffy. Let you know how heavy that ponytail

Samantha [00:02:00]:
would be. It'd be like your head would be bobbing down on the whole time. Yeah. Like, too much pressure or back.

Lisa [00:02:06]:
Yeah. You know? I'd like to be doing back flips. I'd just be all over the place.

Samantha [00:02:10]:
So it wouldn't be pretty.

Lisa [00:02:12]:
Okay. This is what I'm thinking today. Right? As I'm coming home from work. K? And, you know, you work inside. It's all nice and air conditioned.

Samantha [00:02:21]:
Mhmm.

Lisa [00:02:21]:
You go outside and it's hot and muggy. Hot hot hot. This is okay. Let's try this. Why don't we, Samantha? Uh-huh. Is it time to hot chocolate yet? Do we need to bump up pasta? Do we need to bend the rules this season so mother nature will give us fall? I rented for fall.

Samantha [00:02:41]:
Fall is coming tomorrow. I want I wanted fall today. No. Fall is coming tomorrow. Today, last day of sun and summer. Tomorrow, fall.

Lisa [00:02:50]:
Or will that happen for 2 days and then we go back to No. To summer.

Samantha [00:02:54]:
I I think we're now on the We're done. Sliding downscale of weather. Over it? Yeah. K. Good. Right? Because I was prepared.

Lisa [00:03:02]:
I was prepared to do those things. Well Right? I mean,

Samantha [00:03:08]:
is it really a hardship to have pasta, Lisa? No. It's not.

Lisa [00:03:11]:
It is in the summer. It's not in

Samantha [00:03:13]:
the class. I've had pasta in the summer.

Lisa [00:03:15]:
Yeah. Pasta.

Samantha [00:03:16]:
Pasta. Pasta. Pasta. Pasta. Let's not argue about something we will never agree on.

Lisa [00:03:24]:
You spell it like p a u s t a. I saw p a s t

Samantha [00:03:29]:
a. Pasta.

Lisa [00:03:30]:
Pasta. I'm gonna I'm gonna elongate my words. It'd be

Samantha [00:03:34]:
Pardon? Tagine. Ragatoni.

Lisa [00:03:36]:
No. Hi. Just because you can roll an r doesn't make you fancy, Samantha. Right?

Samantha [00:03:40]:
That's because you can't you can't do shit. I gotta r Can you can you can you can you keep going with that? I don't Can you can you when you're talking to Tony?

Lisa [00:03:52]:
I don't want it.

Samantha [00:03:53]:
You can't. You can't because you're a loser.

Lisa [00:03:55]:
I don't

Samantha [00:03:56]:
It's alright. Why do I need to at everything, Lisa. Oh, you're so pretty.

Lisa [00:04:03]:
I'll take pretty over your perfectness. And friends of the podcast, this is what 23 years of friendship looks like. Much, too much, too much, too much, too much. Math, I need I I listen. I need your I I I need we had a really interesting conversation at work last week. Oh, okay. We gotta talk about it. Okay? Alright.

Lisa [00:04:29]:
I saw a I saw a comedian talk about it too and I'm like, oh, yeah. What the hell? Hey. Look at

Samantha [00:04:34]:
the power suit. It still lives and breathes today. Okay.

Lisa [00:04:38]:
But is it still as powerful? It depends. You think so? It depends. I feel there's tarnish on that power suit.

Samantha [00:04:46]:
No. Okay. Well, I don't know. I don't Kate, the problem is the problem is is that the eighties power suit or the nineties power suit, it it it's a blend of

Lisa [00:04:56]:
world of decades. That is the power suit era. Has come back. Totally.

Samantha [00:05:02]:
Yeah. The the shoulder pads have come back. Oversized blazers on women have come back. Right. Oversized pants, wide leg pant. I love a good wide leg pant.

Lisa [00:05:10]:
Don't get me wrong. Right. But it is how you put it together Right.

Samantha [00:05:16]:
That really is impactful. Totally. Right? Because any gal any gal can put on a

Lisa [00:05:23]:
pair of wide leg pants and a jacket, and it ain't no power suit.

Samantha [00:05:26]:
Okay. And it also has to do with color.

Lisa [00:05:29]:
Okay. Okay. So this is this is this is where we have

Samantha [00:05:32]:
to be we've gotta be careful.

Lisa [00:05:34]:
We gotta be careful.

Samantha [00:05:35]:
I just We're not offended. No woman. Sorry.

Lisa [00:05:38]:
I'm

Samantha [00:05:39]:
friends with Careful. Don't hate me. Feel good. Oh, you're gonna hate me.

Lisa [00:05:42]:
When she says that, you're gonna Don't hate me. You're gonna

Samantha [00:05:45]:
No woman on the face of the earth.

Lisa [00:05:49]:
Sorry. Dreading it.

Samantha [00:05:50]:
Beige. No. Right? No woman on the face of the earth looks good in a beige jacket and a beige pant. And then when you throw white at your undershirt

Lisa [00:06:05]:
They're stark. I go, oh my god. I don't mind, like, a face.

Samantha [00:06:08]:
Color. There wasn't gray. There wasn't blue. There wasn't, like, cutoff pink. There wasn't, like, green. There wasn't

Lisa [00:06:15]:
something Nothing that

Samantha [00:06:16]:
a gross, ugly. Right.

Lisa [00:06:19]:
I don't mind, like, a black bottom and a beige jacket. I can do that. Yeah. That's fine. But it's the it's it's the matchy matchy.

Samantha [00:06:27]:
Yeah. I'm okay with matchy matchy. If you're pulling it off But not

Lisa [00:06:30]:
but not in beige.

Samantha [00:06:30]:
Pull it off. Not in beige. Not

Lisa [00:06:32]:
and it's a yellow beige. Oh, it's always a yellow beige.

Samantha [00:06:38]:
It's not it's not an

Lisa [00:06:40]:
It's not a pretty beige.

Samantha [00:06:41]:
It's not the soft No. Pink taupe that you're thinking of. No. It is ugly ass beige.

Lisa [00:06:50]:
Ugly ass. It's eighties ugly ass beige. You know what it is? Beige. It's it's it's the Target pant. Ugh. It's the Target beige.

Samantha [00:06:58]:
In polyester. In polyester with

Lisa [00:07:01]:
a button up jacket to go along.

Samantha [00:07:05]:
Like, I have seen many a women do the the matchy matchy, and it which is great. And they're pulling it off. And then my and then, okay, of course, you know what my my my eye does. You know what? It goes that.

Lisa [00:07:15]:
It goes to the shoe.

Samantha [00:07:15]:
It goes to the shoe. It goes right down. Because if I may, the power suit needs to have the shoe. It needs to have the power shoe.

Lisa [00:07:24]:
It has to have the power shoe.

Samantha [00:07:26]:
It has to have the power shoe. Right? Like, if we learned nothing from our mothers in the eighties and nineties,

Lisa [00:07:32]:
The shoe. The shoe is the that's the cherry on the top.

Samantha [00:07:35]:
Yeah. If you didn't have all the pieces playing, and you're, like, oh, I still have a really nice suit. If your shoe is ugly, it's ugly. You don't look together.

Lisa [00:07:43]:
Don't look together. You look like you

Samantha [00:07:44]:
forgot something. You look like you're mismatched. Yes. Like, ladies, ladies, you need if if you're gonna wear the power suit, teach your young children, or young women in your life, teach the people who are going to wear a power suit

Lisa [00:07:59]:
because it's back.

Samantha [00:08:01]:
How to wear it, please.

Lisa [00:08:03]:
And and and we have to we gotta touch we gotta touch on this, Samantha. And it's just not every color. It's a black. It's a it's a gray, and it's probably a navy.

Samantha [00:08:14]:
Yeah. I mean, I think women I think I've seen some really cool suits. Like like, the the world is thinking outside the box. Right. But for some reason, I have an aversion to stripes. And that's probably just a me thing, but I can't do a striped jacket as a

Lisa [00:08:34]:
striped pant.

Samantha [00:08:36]:
I don't understand And I the whole looking like a candy stripe.

Lisa [00:08:42]:
And I I can't mix patterns.

Samantha [00:08:45]:
Well, I'm okay. It depends what the patterns look like and Too much. Too busy. But I'm just like, oh, there's just so few things that make sense. Right?

Lisa [00:08:55]:
And so that's my thing. Right? Because the power suit is made such a big it's made it's it's splashing all over the place.

Samantha [00:09:02]:
Well and the big trend was when the Barbie movie came out, they did the power suit in a hot pink. And but I saw it worn with, like, a deeper shade of pink blouse underneath Okay. And a matching shoe. And I'm like, girl, mhmm. Okay. I dig that.

Lisa [00:09:17]:
Because I dig that. Because she looked powerful.

Samantha [00:09:20]:
Because it's all together. All together. It all made sense. Right. And I was just not afraid to pull that off.

Lisa [00:09:26]:
Could there ever be that beige suit with the best beige shoe ever?

Samantha [00:09:31]:
No. No. No. No. No.

Lisa [00:09:33]:
No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.

Lisa [00:09:34]:
No. No.

Samantha [00:09:34]:
No. No. No. No. No. No.

Lisa [00:09:35]:
No. No. No. No. No. No. No.

Samantha [00:09:35]:
No. No. No. No. Maybe. Nope. I still can't because, really, what I wanna do is I wanna rip the blazer off, and I wanna throw on, like, a fun black blazer or something funky on the top or could be even a cardigan. It could be a a pullover sweater.

Lisa [00:09:52]:
Then no. No. No. You can't. You can't. Now you're not in a power suit mode.

Samantha [00:09:55]:
But then you're wearing a black a lovely black shoe

Lisa [00:09:58]:
Doesn't matter. With it or a boot. If you're a lawyer like, you're a lawyer going to the office. The whole gist of the power suit is that it was to keep up

Samantha [00:10:05]:
with the men. I just feel like nobody wears beige well. Very few people do red well depending on if they've ever been color matched by doing that well. Hit red. Red is a hard color.

Lisa [00:10:17]:
Hi. How is your red outfit?

Samantha [00:10:19]:
Yeah. And then purple is also really tough. The jewel tones are tough.

Lisa [00:10:23]:
Right. The jewel tones are because the only people who can pull off the jewel tones are nannas. Only nannas can pull off jewel tones. Polyester. And polyester. And and then their power suit wasn't a button up blazer. It was a little jacket that zipped.

Samantha [00:10:38]:
It was a 1 piece.

Lisa [00:10:40]:
It was a fuller. Like a vest. It was a fuller. Cooler.

Samantha [00:10:45]:
And it had a little pattern on the vest.

Lisa [00:10:47]:
Oh, no.

Samantha [00:10:48]:
Oh, god. I love those ones. Right?

Lisa [00:10:50]:
It had a little fake tie at the back, so it

Samantha [00:10:52]:
looked like my grandma looked like the bomb like mom every time she left the house.

Lisa [00:10:59]:
Mine too.

Samantha [00:11:00]:
She my like, when she was going out with my mom or we're doing the crisp, whatever it is, my grandma, she was matching, and she always had cute little boots in the winter, and she had a nice little jacket, and she had a little purse. Everything everything matched, man. She was like yeah. And my mom got that from her too, and

Lisa [00:11:16]:
then we

Samantha [00:11:16]:
got that from my mom. My sister and I are huge clothes people.

Lisa [00:11:20]:
Yep. Yep. So this is my word of advice for the power suit people. Right?

Samantha [00:11:24]:
Please don't.

Lisa [00:11:25]:
Maybe okay. Like, unless you're a lawyer, which I get. Right? You should wear your power suit because your power

Samantha [00:11:30]:
Everyone no. No. No. A lawyer. That's not fair. No. You've it's Don't be narrow. I'm being narrow.

Lisa [00:11:34]:
I'm being narrow. Be narrow. You and I should not wear a power suit.

Samantha [00:11:38]:
No. I totally could pull off a power suit.

Lisa [00:11:40]:
For what? You have no business in a power suit.

Samantha [00:11:42]:
Yes. I do. If I wanna feel powerful, I should wear a power suit.

Lisa [00:11:45]:
You should be able to feel powerful anyways.

Samantha [00:11:48]:
Well, this is true. Right. But if you're gonna pull it off, you gotta pull it off. Your mindset has to be, I'm in a cool suit, so I must project that. It's all about your 'tude. It's it doesn't matter where you're wearing it.

Lisa [00:12:01]:
That's a good point. It's about your 'tude. That's a good point, Samantha.

Samantha [00:12:05]:
I'm just saying. Point.

Lisa [00:12:06]:
I'm just saying.

Samantha [00:12:07]:
Please stay away from beige and all jewel tones. Right?

Lisa [00:12:10]:
And maybe the power suit in general. I say, we can we keep can we kick it back to the eighties?

Samantha [00:12:14]:
No. Because it's, like, so big right now.

Lisa [00:12:17]:
I just see in, like, 5 years, we're gonna be talking about the scrub pants.

Samantha [00:12:20]:
Oh my god. And then I saw I saw it. I don't even know. If it must have been a

Lisa [00:12:24]:
was it a must have

Samantha [00:12:26]:
been on social media somewhere. Somebody I don't know if there was an influencer or maybe it was, like, a celebrity or something, looked like they were wearing the replica of the polka dot dress in Pretty Woman. Oh. And I'm like, oh, gosh. No. Because then in Pretty Woman, she had the the blazer and the matching fancy shorts. Right? The thing. Right? All coming back.

Samantha [00:12:50]:
All that shit's

Lisa [00:12:51]:
Okay. Okay. But shut up. Here's what I feel, Samantha. Right? Let's use our creativity and make up new outfits.

Samantha [00:13:00]:
There's nothing new. You could I mean, how many times can you reinvent the wheel? Well, we need to tell

Lisa [00:13:05]:
the problem. We need these young people that are all this with all their creativity and their sewing machines to start sewing some new things.

Samantha [00:13:12]:
Well, because we have lived through how many decades now? Too many?

Lisa [00:13:16]:
We've we've seen a lot. I don't wanna Julia Roberts polka dot dress back. I don't wanna

Samantha [00:13:20]:
see it. Okay. But that was a pretty classic dress.

Lisa [00:13:23]:
Yeah. Okay. 25 years ago. I don't wanna see

Samantha [00:13:26]:
it today. I still think it's dead it stands the test of time. She had a really nice cool pair of

Lisa [00:13:30]:
shoes in the middle. Smithsonian and keep it there. Put it in the Smithsonian and keep it there.

Samantha [00:13:35]:
No. But, like, I think it was a replica. Like, it was, like, a nod to we don't need to replicate that shit. Okay. Don't. Speaking from someone who thinks a t shirt is dressy.

Lisa [00:13:46]:
I think I have a dressier t shirt. I don't never have said a t shirt is dressy. I said that when I'm in my you're a bitch. When I said that when I'm in my when I'm in my jean and it's Friday,

Samantha [00:14:05]:
I put on my better t shirt. You're dressing

Lisa [00:14:09]:
t shirt. I know.

Samantha [00:14:10]:
I said it was dressier than the gray one. Right? This is your new thing. You just take all everything out of context.

Lisa [00:14:18]:
I got no patience for that.

Samantha [00:14:20]:
That's what it's really funny.

Lisa [00:14:22]:
It's not that funny because that's not what I said or meant. Sorry. Sorry. Know it.

Samantha [00:14:27]:
She looks lovely in her dressy t shirt.

Lisa [00:14:29]:
It's not dressy. It's just a t shirt that looks a little nicer.

Samantha [00:14:33]:
Yes. It is. It's lovely. Right?

Lisa [00:14:36]:
Oh, sorry. We can't all wear our same green sweater every week.

Samantha [00:14:38]:
Well, you know what? I did wear something different on Saturday.

Lisa [00:14:41]:
You did. That's right. You wanna are we start do we start to sling the arrows? Is that what we're doing? Are we slinging?

Samantha [00:14:47]:
I think we better.

Lisa [00:14:49]:
Right? Fine then. That's us at our best, slinging. Let's keep it interesting. Just keep it slinging. And then people are gonna be like, oh my god. Are they friends? Not really. Not all the time. We just don't go to bed mad at each other because that seems like too much effort to have to put up again tomorrow.

Samantha [00:15:04]:
I'm sorry. Okay. I'll stop poking fun at you.

Lisa [00:15:07]:
Poke fun, but just be prepared for me to sling it back. Right? Don't you know, you shouldn't wipe your eyes. Just when you when you tilt your head like that, I see all your gray. Sammy's let her hair get get ahead of her.

Samantha [00:15:22]:
Yeah. I'm getting it I'm getting it done. Don't you worry. Thank god. I'll be back to you. Oh, you're so pretty.

Lisa [00:15:28]:
Not by me. I won't be saying that to you. I don't think you're that pretty.

Samantha [00:15:33]:
All the pretty girls walk

Lisa [00:15:34]:
Walk like Lisa. That's me. Right? I think you have ugly attitude for me.

Samantha [00:15:40]:
I don't. I think it's funny. Sorry. Okay. I'll stop. I'll stop. Whatever. You can't take it.

Samantha [00:15:47]:
It's okay. It's alright.

Lisa [00:15:48]:
Oh my god. As if I I don't have itty bitty feelings.

Samantha [00:15:50]:
Okay. I know. Alright.

Lisa [00:15:52]:
I can

Samantha [00:15:52]:
take it. Well, you know who I think can't probably take a little criticism? Those young people. Right? They're fragile.

Lisa [00:15:58]:
Oh my god. They're so fragile.

Samantha [00:16:00]:
They're young. They haven't experienced life. Right? Right. And all I thought on Friday as we sat there enjoying her glasses of wine, which is really all that we kinda had because we didn't really eat. Which just seemed weird, but Seemed okay. We had a hard short week, like I'm just throwing it out there.

Lisa [00:16:19]:
We'll we'll be skipping food tonight.

Samantha [00:16:21]:
Right? But anyways, these chicks these young ladies were snapping pictures like they'd never seen in Earls before outside. We were sitting on the deck, and they were, like, snapping pictures and running around, yelling, and finally they came inside the building. And all I thought to myself is, how can you afford to eat here?

Lisa [00:16:38]:
I can barely afford to eat here. All I thought was, that's a lot of pretty t shirts.

Samantha [00:16:45]:
Actually, most of them were wearing, like,

Lisa [00:16:47]:
cropped tops. Tops. Everything's cropped. Right? Everything is cropped. Everything's cropped. Oh my god.

Samantha [00:16:55]:
You can't find a normal length shirt anywhere. Nope. Am I right, Friends of the Podcast?

Lisa [00:17:02]:
Has anybody else ran into this? Just me? Just me and Sam?

Samantha [00:17:05]:
Oh, my god. It's everywhere.

Lisa [00:17:07]:
Crop top.

Samantha [00:17:07]:
It is crop ticket. Like, no offense. I don't need to show my belly at work.

Lisa [00:17:11]:
I just need a shirt for work. Right. No offense. I don't need it to sit right on my hip. I need it to come down a little bit further because I said

Samantha [00:17:20]:
I need to I need to gravity. Pass my fall. My my fupa.

Lisa [00:17:25]:
Right. Has to cover your pouch. Right? Gotta cover the pouch. I'm like, this is not gonna cover the pouch. Oh, I What do you do? What do you do?

Samantha [00:17:34]:
I don't know.

Lisa [00:17:35]:
What do you do?

Samantha [00:17:36]:
I don't know. But all I thought all I thought was they can't be more than 19, maybe 20 at a stretch.

Lisa [00:17:43]:
They were running like like like like, like rabid children. They were all over the place. So I feel that they're 19 just in university. Oh, yeah.

Samantha [00:17:52]:
First time away from mom and dad. They're gonna have to go to girls. Yeah. And they're all gonna order one thing and they can't afford it. And Right. Then they're gonna eat ramen noodles for the next day.

Lisa [00:18:01]:
Right. And now it's yeah. Now it's back to mister noodles. Oh, the beauty of mister noodles that

Samantha [00:18:07]:
you're eating.

Lisa [00:18:08]:
Right? There nothing beats a pa a full meal other than something that's like 25¢.

Samantha [00:18:14]:
Well, I'm well, it's not 25¢ anymore.

Lisa [00:18:16]:
Oh, god. That's disappointing because it only was worth 25¢. So inflation or not, still only worth 25¢.

Samantha [00:18:23]:
This is true. This is very true.

Lisa [00:18:25]:
Did you eat your Mr. Noodles soupy or or more less liquidy? Less liquidy. I didn't like a lot

Samantha [00:18:32]:
of liquid. I was more about the noodles.

Lisa [00:18:34]:
I was more about the noodles too. Wow. Oh my god. That's something we have in common. Imagine if we were college roomies. I would have strangled you.

Samantha [00:18:43]:
How do you like it done?

Lisa [00:18:43]:
You wouldn't have strangled me.

Samantha [00:18:45]:
No, I

Lisa [00:18:45]:
would have strangled you. Yes, you wouldn't have strangled me. Yeah. And that and I would have been happy because you would have moved out and I would have had the whole room to myself. Yeah. That was my MO. Right? That was my MO. K.

Lisa [00:18:58]:
So as you know, I'm

Samantha [00:18:59]:
still looking for clothing. I know. We all know. Right? You're both

Lisa [00:19:04]:
buying it. Right? So I went to the Walmart. The Walmart on Sunday. I didn't take you this time because, thank God, I just thought, ah, it's true you. And, I went to

Samantha [00:19:16]:
the Walmart. I got Walmart beefs. I got Walmart beefs. Have you ever noticed, Samantha, that when you get inside a Walmart, you can't get out? It's like they fucking kidnap you somehow. You can't get out. You know how you get out of a Walmart? You have to beg and pray.

Lisa [00:19:35]:
You have to hope and hope and

Samantha [00:19:36]:
a prayer. You can only get out of a Walmart after there is a clear exit way through a cash register line that nobody's using.

Lisa [00:19:46]:
Right. What the fuck is that? That's not getting out. Why is there not like

Samantha [00:19:50]:
a why is there not like a in and an out? Because they are forcing you to buy something

Lisa [00:19:55]:
that I have nothing to buy.

Samantha [00:19:56]:
Your Walmart had nothing for me. So now as the lineup's there, I gotta try and

Lisa [00:20:01]:
squeeze my cart because, of course, I got my cart in case I find stuff. Uh-huh. I gotta squeeze my cart. Excuse me. Pardon me. Excuse me. Pardon me. And they're all giving you

Samantha [00:20:08]:
the stink eye notes. Like, this is your rules. Your rules, not my rules. Walmart's rules. Not my rules. I would gladly go out the inn, but you can't because they don't swing double doors. No. They don't.

Lisa [00:20:21]:
It's the most ridiculous thing.

Samantha [00:20:23]:
Dear Walmart, why I shake my head at it. Why you why why are you hiding why are you keeping me hostage? I can only imagine back and

Lisa [00:20:32]:
forth. Out of here. I was just looking for an exit back and forth back and forth back and forth back and forth. Nope.

Samantha [00:20:38]:
Not here. Nope. Not here. Nope. That's Here. Nope. Not here. It's not good.

Samantha [00:20:41]:
Right? I think he could've come out through produce, though. I don't know. I don't know. Yes. I think you could've. No. Because produce isn't in. No.

Samantha [00:20:51]:
You can go out that way.

Lisa [00:20:52]:
No. You can't. They don't swing out.

Samantha [00:20:55]:
They only swing in. Oh, they've really roped it off then. Right?

Lisa [00:21:00]:
Literally, I googled it. How do you get out? And then Oh my god. My Walmart's holding me hostage. How do you get out of it? And it clearly said you have to go through a line. Oh my god. I'm like, this is guess what? Guess what? Walmart. And then there was so much. Right? Looking for a fall coat? Mhmm.

Lisa [00:21:21]:
Once I texted you, does every coat need to have a every every jacket need to have a hood?

Samantha [00:21:26]:
Yes. They do. What if I don't want a hood? Sucks to be here. I found one without a hood. Did you buy it? Yeah. At Eddie Bauer. Oh, you got money. Money bags going to Eddie Bauer.

Lisa [00:21:40]:
Not intentionally. It was not my choice. It was not my choice, but they did have exactly what I was looking for.

Samantha [00:21:49]:
Of course. Which is

Lisa [00:21:50]:
just the light black puffer coat with not too much puff. Right? Because it's for the fall. Yes.

Samantha [00:21:56]:
Or the spring. Just saying. Like, people must have Walmart beefs. It can't just be me. Well and did you did you not get shamed at at the Gap as well?

Lisa [00:22:07]:
But I bought stuff at the Gap. They carry up to 2 x. And I said, oh, because I tried on the one x. Yeah. I could have. But in a top, just didn't feel like comfortable. And, yeah, I know I'm on a diet and I'm not eating sprinkled donuts and I should lose weight, but I'm not. So I'm like so I said to them, I said, do you carry a 2 x? And the lady is like, she does like, rolled her eyes.

Lisa [00:22:32]:
And she's like, we do. We don't have many of them and we don't put many out. Oh. Well, I'd like to try one in each of these colors, please. Well, I'm gonna have to go to the back. I will wait because you clearly carry 2 x. Oh. And guess what? People my size, right, were who were just a little bit bigger on the top.

Lisa [00:23:00]:
I also wear a size 10 or a 12 pant lady. So right? Hi. I wore your medium gap pants.

Samantha [00:23:07]:
I was so mad.

Lisa [00:23:09]:
She was

Samantha [00:23:10]:
so rude. So rude. So wrong.

Lisa [00:23:14]:
And it makes me not wanna go shopping.

Samantha [00:23:16]:
And then you bought them.

Lisa [00:23:18]:
And then I bought them anyways because I like them, I think. And they fit. And they fit, kind of. They're a little bit big.

Samantha [00:23:26]:
But are they cotton? Yeah. Right? They're gonna shrink.

Lisa [00:23:30]:
That's my goal. Right? Just to shrink them. So I'm like a one x and a half. Uh-huh. Yeah. Right?

Samantha [00:23:36]:
But will they shrink in or will they shrink up? Or will it do both?

Lisa [00:23:40]:
Well, if it shrinks up, I'm in style because it's crop. If they shrink in, I'll be amazed because that's what I need. Right? So I'm gonna once the podcast, I feel it's gonna shrink up. What do you want to think? Shrink in or shrink up? It's gonna shrink up. Shrink up. Right? Totally. Just like whenever I wash a pair of pants that I need to shrink in, they shrink up. And you're like,

Samantha [00:24:02]:
oh, how quickly we became capris. Right?

Lisa [00:24:06]:
Or we became that length that you can't just quite pull that off. Right? So crazy. So crazy. So crazy.

Samantha [00:24:15]:
I don't know, Lisa. I just

Lisa [00:24:16]:
I feel like, you know That rage or that pent up rage over Walmart. Walmart.

Samantha [00:24:20]:
I don't even know why you would bother to go there because

Lisa [00:24:24]:
Exactly that. Exactly that, Samantha.

Samantha [00:24:28]:
It's never a good shopping experience.

Lisa [00:24:30]:
It's never a good experience. Not really. No. You just be broken. You just walk out broken.

Samantha [00:24:37]:
K. Well, I I'm not broken, but I'm I'm not broken. I'm a little bit jazzed. I'm a little bit jazzed. I'm not gonna be honest. Even though even though I lost, I did not lose by much. I did not lose. Oh, okay.

Samantha [00:24:50]:
Well, you didn't think you would. But my fantasy football update, drum roll, please.

Lisa [00:24:57]:
Apparently, I can do it.

Samantha [00:24:58]:
So my competitor won only by 1.34 points. Yeah.

Lisa [00:25:03]:
And it was because you didn't you didn't make

Samantha [00:25:05]:
any changes. So close. I I should've changed 1 guy. Yeah.

Lisa [00:25:09]:
You should've.

Samantha [00:25:09]:
I changed one guy. I would have I would have smoked him, smoked him. Well I've learnt. No. I've learnt. Okay.

Lisa [00:25:18]:
I figured it out. I'm gonna

Samantha [00:25:19]:
I'm gonna I'm learning for the 2nd game. I'm gonna just but he didn't smoke me as much as as it predicted that he would smoke me. So I'm pretty stoked about that. We came in pretty even. Very excited about it.

Lisa [00:25:33]:
Here's the thing though. Here's the thing. Right? I actually wasn't supposed to win my game. I was supposed to get smoked, but my team, They came through. Yeah. They came through and I won. Right? That's pretty good. Up where I left off last season.

Lisa [00:25:51]:
Winning, winning, winning. Winning, winning, winning. Look out week 2. Right?

Samantha [00:25:57]:
Oh, I should probably make some changes then. Well, you

Lisa [00:26:01]:
still you got a little bit of time. Hey. You gotta just see when you gotta look when your games are. And he's I'm not giving you away my secrets. Stop it. Stop it.

Samantha [00:26:10]:
Okay. Oh, John said he's very proud of me, though. I doubt that.

Lisa [00:26:13]:
That's so I'm so happy. He's so proud of you. Yeah. I'm

Samantha [00:26:16]:
so proud of you, babe. Thank you.

Lisa [00:26:17]:
Thanks, babe. Thank you. Hey.

Samantha [00:26:19]:
I did really well considering I didn't know what the hell I was doing. You don't know any of the place. You don't I barely know the positions.

Lisa [00:26:28]:
Oh my god.

Samantha [00:26:29]:
Other than the kicker, the tight end, and the quarterback. How about let's move on to Wordle? How are we doing with Wordle? Wordle update. I'm kicking your ass and we're not we're tied. No. We're not. I got today's Wordle. Days.

Lisa [00:26:44]:
In 3. Yeah. I got it in 6. 3. So you just one day. 3. We're not basing on that. We're basing it on who gets 3.

Lisa [00:26:54]:
There's 3. You know what Wordle needs? Wordle needs a timer. That's what Wordle needs. Wordle needs a timer. Are

Samantha [00:27:03]:
you just mad because I got it in 3 and you did it?

Lisa [00:27:06]:
No. Because I should have because I knew it, but I didn't know it. So Yeah. It's fine. It's a life it's a life ahead of us of words, demands that. Menopausal wordle. Right? Why do we have to fight this whole episode? Remember, it's supposed to be comedy. We're still fighting

Samantha [00:27:19]:
people out. I'm simply stating a fact.

Lisa [00:27:22]:
One game, but I the guy won one game too.

Samantha [00:27:24]:
I think I won the day before as well. No. You didn't. Yes. I did.

Lisa [00:27:28]:
No. You didn't.

Samantha [00:27:28]:
Yes. I did.

Lisa [00:27:29]:
I think we're gonna have to start taking pictures and posting it on our Facebook. And I think you're starting to lie because you're a competitor, and you'll win at all cost. Right?

Samantha [00:27:39]:
I get a I get a little well, because, you know, who knew that I'd be so great at

Lisa [00:27:45]:
you're not that great. You're not that great. Oh, my guessing ability, like, god.

Samantha [00:27:51]:
Do I know enough words to play Wordle? Yeah. I

Lisa [00:27:53]:
probably do. I know. Like, jury's still alive.

Samantha [00:27:56]:
And then I just play around and guess. Hi.

Lisa [00:27:58]:
I know how to play the game. Thanks. And there's the abridged version, friends, of the podcast if you've never if you just woke up today from a coma and haven't heard of Wordle.

Samantha [00:28:11]:
Anyways, we okay. So the reason why we're talking about Wordle is because Word on the street last week was that if you played Wordle and you had menopause, it helped your brain fog.

Lisa [00:28:19]:
So I'm

Samantha [00:28:19]:
just like, Lisa and I are like, we'll give it a try.

Lisa [00:28:22]:
Let's give it a try.

Samantha [00:28:23]:
But you're supposed to play it in the morning. Oh.

Lisa [00:28:28]:
Because it gets your brain going.

Samantha [00:28:29]:
Gets your brain functioning.

Lisa [00:28:31]:
Yeah. Totally. That's what it does.

Samantha [00:28:32]:
My brain functions on a cup of coffee. So Or

Lisa [00:28:36]:
so you think. Or does it even function? It may You know what? That's rude. Oh, okay. But you saying that I'm the ugliest girl in the world isn't? How's your pretty t shirt? Right? It's pretty. I'm gonna show everybody.

Samantha [00:28:52]:
We are horrible. We're awful. Okay? We're horrible.

Lisa [00:28:55]:
We're we

Samantha [00:28:56]:
People don't wanna be our friends because we're mean to each other. Can you imagine what we do to other people?

Lisa [00:28:59]:
We're nice to other people. Well, this is good. Nice to. It's because we know each other too well. I don't need to be nice to you. I don't give a shit.

Samantha [00:29:08]:
Yeah. That's true. Oh, oh, Samantha.

Lisa [00:29:12]:
Oh, Lisa. Oh, Samantha.

Samantha [00:29:14]:
Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. So I was on okay. So I was on the TikTok.

Lisa [00:29:20]:
And How about before you tell us about this, why don't we take a quick

Samantha [00:29:23]:
break? Aw. Uh-huh. But I was starting my story. I wanna

Lisa [00:29:28]:
break. Fine.

Samantha [00:29:34]:
Okay. So I was on TikTok, and I came across this lady, and she started singing a childhood song. I didn't even have to look at the words on the screen. I knew from memory, my old old memory, how to sing this song. Of course,

Lisa [00:29:51]:
you would.

Samantha [00:29:51]:
And I was like, oh, my God. And then I thought,

Lisa [00:30:11]:
Oh, friends of the podcast, have you ever noticed she always needs to one up me?

Samantha [00:30:19]:
And then okay. So there's that song. And then Frere Jacques. Do you remember that one?

Lisa [00:30:24]:
I'm not singing it. Of course, I remember it.

Samantha [00:30:26]:
Frere Jacques. Frere Jacques. Dormez vous.

Lisa [00:30:30]:
Played it on.

Samantha [00:30:31]:
Vous. Samalematina. Samalematina. Ding bang. Dong. Ding bang.

Lisa [00:30:36]:
Why do

Samantha [00:30:36]:
we know this song?

Lisa [00:30:39]:
Funny. Right now, I'm wondering why you need to know this too. We used to play that one on the recorder, like, with hot cross bun.

Samantha [00:30:44]:
Oh, maybe that's it.

Lisa [00:30:47]:
Uh-huh.

Samantha [00:30:50]:
Right? Try the 1 a penny.

Lisa [00:30:53]:
Right? It's hard.

Samantha [00:30:54]:
Oh my god. That's right.

Lisa [00:30:55]:
Because we did recorders. Right? So Frere Jacques. Right? That's why you know it.

Samantha [00:31:04]:
It's just like the crazy songs you learned when you were in elementary school. And I'm like, why did we learn these songs? Why do we know them so well?

Lisa [00:31:12]:
For things like that. Right? Because it was easy to learn on the recorder. And anything musical

Samantha [00:31:18]:
was still the And we learned them so young. They're just like stuck in there somewhere.

Lisa [00:31:23]:
I don't know. And it's just useless information that's clogging up potentially good information. Who am I singing aloe to?

Samantha [00:31:30]:
Nobody. I don't even know if they still sing songs in elementary school.

Lisa [00:31:33]:
I think Do Do kids even go to elementary school or do they just, like, continue just pass

Samantha [00:31:37]:
it over now? Well, they definitely don't do recorders in elementary school anymore. And I feel like that's a dying art. Recorders

Lisa [00:31:44]:
is a dying art. And it shouldn't be. Right? There also was the ukulele too. But I never was that skillful. Right? I could do No.

Samantha [00:31:53]:
I could do recorder. Yeah. The recorder, I was built like that.

Lisa [00:31:56]:
But only at school. Right? No problem

Samantha [00:31:58]:
at home, Lisa. We had weird ones. They had the wooden ones, but then there was these ones. They were, like, plastic, and they had, like, key on them.

Lisa [00:32:06]:
We had our own oh, no. We didn't have that.

Samantha [00:32:07]:
And they were big at square.

Lisa [00:32:09]:
Child's toy, the one that has the key. That's that's like like that's No.

Samantha [00:32:12]:
We had them in, like I feel like we had them in grade 6 and 7.

Lisa [00:32:16]:
I don't know. I was

Samantha [00:32:17]:
done with Bandit by then. And we all had to take it. You couldn't get out of it every week.

Lisa [00:32:21]:
Not in grade 6 and 7. You can't Yes. No. Everybody has to do it then. I know. Because you're still in public school. You're still somebody else's bitch. Right? The teacher is the teacher's bitch.

Lisa [00:32:31]:
She tells you what you're gonna do. For sure.

Samantha [00:32:33]:
Right? For sure.

Lisa [00:32:35]:
Right? Oh

Samantha [00:32:35]:
my god. Gonna play Frere Jacques, Samantha. And for those people who speak French, I do apologize. I don't have a great accent. I was told that in grade 7. My French teacher, mister Clopeshak, told me I should never speak French. But from that moment

Lisa [00:32:48]:
on remember your French teacher just Yeah. You know how much useless info like, you it's funny because you would think it would be my mind that's clogged up with it. It's yours. It's

Samantha [00:32:58]:
Your mind is so clogged up with uselessness. He was he was a rude little little man. He was a rude little man.

Lisa [00:33:04]:
I slander him. You just said his name and now you're slandering him. Somebody knows. Hi. Somebody maybe does. You don't think anybody from Saskatchewan listens to the podcast? It's really old then. So maybe he's dead, but maybe his daughters are again, and how do you know?

Samantha [00:33:20]:
Alright, Lisa.

Lisa [00:33:21]:
And you recant a story. Can you say I must?

Samantha [00:33:23]:
I will apologize. He was lovely. Thank you.

Lisa [00:33:27]:
Thank you. We're moving on now to talk shows.

Samantha [00:33:30]:
Jesus. You're so paranoid, and I'm not sure why.

Lisa [00:33:35]:
Gonna get our asses sued. Hey? Okay. Do you think it's weird that all the nighttime talk shows now are just down to 4 nights a week? Is it everybody? Yeah. Fallon was the last one, and he just he just became that.

Samantha [00:33:47]:
Really? So is that Monday to Thursday, or is it Tuesday to Friday? Monday to Thursday, I think. And things like, like Seth Meyers, they took away his band. What? Yeah. Because they're cutbacks. Nobody's watching them. Let's be honest. Right? How often do

Lisa [00:34:03]:
you stay awake to watch one of those shows?

Samantha [00:34:04]:
I don't because I find them boring.

Lisa [00:34:06]:
Right. And if you do watch them, it's only because of the guest.

Samantha [00:34:10]:
For sure.

Lisa [00:34:10]:
It means we have no loyalty to it. Right? None whatsoever. Back in the day, you either liked Carson or Letterman. Like, it was one or the other. And you were religious to it.

Samantha [00:34:20]:
You would watch Carson, you would stay up. It was 9, you watched. Right? You didn't

Lisa [00:34:24]:
care about Jay Leno. No. Like switching over was like blasphemy. Blaspare. You didn't do it. Right?

Samantha [00:34:31]:
I don't even watch SNL because it's just a

Lisa [00:34:35]:
no. It's coming back on. I I watch it still because like all

Samantha [00:34:39]:
true SNL fans, right, we hold out hope. And that eventually will get better.

Lisa [00:34:43]:
Be a good one. Don't you remember they had one good one last year?

Samantha [00:34:46]:
Yeah. Right?

Lisa [00:34:48]:
Thank God. Thank God we held out hope.

Samantha [00:34:51]:
So what does this mean for the nighttime talk show host? Do they earn less money? Do they gotta do more stunts? Like, what's happening?

Lisa [00:34:57]:
Maybe they're maybe they're doing something else. I don't know.

Samantha [00:35:00]:
I don't know because now they got a 3 day weekend, and then that all made me think when you told them they were going a 4 day work week, and I'm, like, they heard me. They heard me. They heard me. Yes. It's a 4 day work week, folks.

Lisa [00:35:12]:
It's a 4 day work week.

Samantha [00:35:14]:
We are championing ourselves for. Get the petition. Write your name down.

Lisa [00:35:18]:
I'm not doing it.

Samantha [00:35:18]:
Let's do it today.

Lisa [00:35:19]:
I'm not doing it. I am not signing that. Not signing it.

Samantha [00:35:23]:
I want a 5 day work week. I just feel like I am one with the people who only wanna work 4 days. And if, you know, the nighttime talk show hosts are going 4 days a week, I feel like we should all just follow suit. 5 days. Right? Lisa, if you could work 7,

Lisa [00:35:40]:
I would take I'll take on your 2. Take on your 2 just I have to love what you're doing though. I love what I'm doing. Okay. Even if I didn't love it, I probably would still take on and help you out. Yeah. You probably would. I'm that girl, Samantha.

Lisa [00:35:55]:
Right?

Samantha [00:35:56]:
Okay. So, you know, in Saskatchewan, not not too much happens here. Right? You're, like, we're pretty Yeah.

Lisa [00:36:02]:
Like, yeah, lately, we've been making

Samantha [00:36:03]:
Well, well, there's been a couple going there. No. We're not going there because that's sad. But in Saskatchewan, currently, we have banned cell phones from the classrooms. Yes. We have. Lots of people have thoughts about that.

Lisa [00:36:16]:
A lot of people do. Right?

Samantha [00:36:19]:
What do you think? You know what? It is a distraction for sure because Yep. You're on your phone. Absolutely.

Lisa [00:36:25]:
Totally.

Samantha [00:36:26]:
It was probably a lot different when they were at home learning cyber school wise. Right?

Lisa [00:36:31]:
Probably. Probably. Now that it's been proven that school hap that we learned in school just fine without them because that that's us. Yeah.

Samantha [00:36:40]:
It's it just really is a distraction. It's probably not helpful for the teachers. Right? Because they try to pull the kid away from their device. Right. And I'm to be honest, this is probably more of a tactic for the kids to learn better, but also for the teachers. Right? It's easier? Probably.

Lisa [00:36:55]:
I mean, don't you remember how disturbing it was when you were, like, throwing your note in public school or high school? You were throwing your note to your friend down, like, couple of rows over. Like, Hey, Marnie, Marnie. And you'd throw your note.

Samantha [00:37:05]:
Right? And then the teacher caught it and they would go look at it and now you're ready.

Lisa [00:37:09]:
And she'd be like, Lisa, are you okay that I read this? Yeah. That's fine. But there's no need to. You sure you don't mind? No. Missus Moses is a bitch. Sorry. That's just how I feel.

Samantha [00:37:22]:
You're so bad.

Lisa [00:37:23]:
I'd be like, oh, that note. That note. I was so bad that way. Yeah.

Samantha [00:37:29]:
But I think, you know, teachers, we gotta cut up some slack. Like, they've had a hard 4 years. So have the kids. Yeah. Can we just do something normal? And why do you need your cell phone? You're in class. Why do you need your cell phone?

Lisa [00:37:39]:
If there's an emergency, somebody somebody could get a hold of you.

Samantha [00:37:42]:
Yeah. I mean, I'm sure they have things in place and procedures and things like that.

Lisa [00:37:46]:
Of course.

Samantha [00:37:47]:
But I just like, we still find without them?

Lisa [00:37:50]:
It'll be fine. You'll be fine.

Samantha [00:37:52]:
Then again, there's a lot more stuff happening.

Lisa [00:37:55]:
Yeah. But that's the problem. Right?

Samantha [00:37:56]:
I don't know. I feel torn. I feel torn for the safety of everyone.

Lisa [00:38:00]:

I really thought you were joking. I'm like, she's not coming to Earl's. She's not no.

Lisa [00:51:29]:
I honestly believe she accidentally hit the thumbs up button. No. I think she

Samantha [00:51:32]:
didn't think

Lisa [00:51:33]:
it was an accident.

Samantha [00:51:34]:
And then she's like, shit. I'm committed.

Lisa [00:51:36]:
Because as soon as that thumbs up, I'm like, yay. I gave a big happy face. Right?

Samantha [00:51:41]:
Yeah. Oh, sad, buddy.

Lisa [00:51:43]:
I did not think that.

Samantha [00:51:44]:
No. But it was good. And we had some wine and we chatted

Lisa [00:51:48]:
and caught up. I love our girl, the HHG. We posted a picture. Yeah, sweet aunt. She's been she's been number 1 fan since the beginning.

Samantha [00:51:57]:
I know. And you know what? She was gone for a month. It felt weird. Felt weird. I kept asking you, how's she doing? You were like, I don't know. And I'm like, hey. Blonde.

Lisa [00:52:07]:
It was on a cruise with no Wi Fi for a while. Yes.

Samantha [00:52:10]:
I think she just got used to not talking to people. That's

Lisa [00:52:13]:
she she made that very clear.

Samantha [00:52:15]:
And then she

Lisa [00:52:15]:
was And

Samantha [00:52:16]:
then now it's it's like you have to slowly ease her back in.

Lisa [00:52:20]:
Ease her back in. Right? She's nervous. She's nervous. She's not happy.

Samantha [00:52:25]:
No. Well, she did say she didn't like people. So She

Lisa [00:52:27]:
doesn't like people yet. Right. But but I thought she was hiding it well. Yeah. I thought she was hiding it really well too.

Samantha [00:52:34]:
Always a good time when she's involved. Right? Yeah. Okay. But I need to pick a bone with the people who keep keep talking about Benagen. I shake my head at the people that keep reporting on these 2 because, no offense, unless you're coming up with something spectacularly new, it don't matter. It don't matter. It don't matter.

Lisa [00:52:57]:
Nobody cares. Nobody cares.

Samantha [00:52:59]:
It's it's just another marriage that didn't work out. Who cares? They're gonna divide their assets and go their separate ways. That's it. You can you can what? Because they try to make Ben look like he was committing adultery and Who cares? All this other crap. And it's like, stop.

Lisa [00:53:15]:
And I don't even care anymore if he was or he was. I don't care.

Samantha [00:53:18]:
No. Because who's the bad guy? Nobody. They've decided to part ways. Right. It's over. Who's the bad guy?

Lisa [00:53:23]:
Leave him alone.

Samantha [00:53:24]:
It's done now. I shake my head. Stop it. Unless you have, like, earth shattering, never heard this before about any divorce ever in the world, keep it to yourself.

Lisa [00:53:33]:
Who's got time for them when there's Taylor and Travis everywhere? Their their love them too. Oh, who cares? Will shine a tone. Oh, it's how he looks at her. It's so cute. Oh, whatever. It's now like, oh, god. Right now, it's too much now, Rex. Now it's a year old.

Samantha [00:53:54]:
But they really are adorable. They're adorable. Right? They're adorable.

Lisa [00:53:58]:
Somebody should make them into stuffed animals, stuffies.

Samantha [00:54:00]:
Oh my god. You know what? Somebody should, like, get AI to, like, put them together and make a what does their baby what's their baby gonna look like?

Lisa [00:54:10]:
Oh, do we just I wonder

Samantha [00:54:11]:
if somebody's done that.

Lisa [00:54:12]:
I don't know, Samantha. You and I don't know enough about AI.

Samantha [00:54:16]:
No. But I'd be interested to try

Lisa [00:54:19]:
that. Hey. But here, speaking of AI, this is not speaking of AI, this is not AI. But this Why would you say that speaking of AI?

Samantha [00:54:28]:
This is not AI.

Lisa [00:54:29]:
Because at least if it was AI, I could kind of understand it. But even AI is not gonna run off and do what this what this did. Once the podcast, I'm talking about our TV show, My Big Fat Fabulous Life. Mhmm. You know, the one with Whitney Waithear. Right? We watch it for all the wrong reasons.

Samantha [00:54:44]:
Yes. We do.

Lisa [00:54:45]:
We started off watching for the right reasons. Yeah. She's made it all the wrong reasons. Because last week's episode did you watch it? K. Well, I'm gonna be a spoiler. Last week's episode was all about her trying to get the right picture on the dating app. Uh-huh. Okay.

Lisa [00:55:05]:
So now in what what dating apps are saying the right picture is you naked? Oh my. She's like, yeah. Good lord. Right? She was doing a nude dog pictures and nakedness and holding oranges up at her ta ta's. No. Like, isn't that the oldest book

Samantha [00:55:25]:
in the trick? Isn't that

Lisa [00:55:26]:
the oldest thing or the oldest trick in the book? Yeah. Oh, flustered because it was so it was just the week before, she was, like, practicing with, like, vegetables. This week, she's naked for pictures. I don't understand. Like, no privacy nope. There's no privacy for your private parts anymore. No. There's no

Samantha [00:55:45]:
You know, all the all the private photos are now public photos if they're being honest.

Lisa [00:55:50]:
Do they need to be? Because guess what? We all got the parts.

Samantha [00:55:53]:
Yeah. I think people just really want that attention, and no matter what kind of attention it garners, it's just

Lisa [00:56:00]:
I don't know. It's bad. It's really bad. At all? It's it's it's shock.

Samantha [00:56:05]:
Oh, for sure. It's shock value.

Lisa [00:56:06]:
And even AI wouldn't make that happen.

Samantha [00:56:09]:
Oh, are you sure? I feel I feel I feel even AI would be like, nope.

Lisa [00:56:12]:
Nope. Nope. We're not touching this. We're not doing that. We're not doing we are not filming. We're not creating this.

Samantha [00:56:19]:
I just don't know if a boudoir photo or a half naked photo of you as your profile pic is the way you wanna meet people. And then she gets mad because she says, the first question they say is, do you wanna sext? Hi.

Lisa [00:56:36]:
You don't think that you're encouraging that question? Because you make it.

Samantha [00:56:41]:
Well, I mean, she must be very proud of her body. So that's I mean, let's not shame her for that.

Lisa [00:56:46]:
I'm not shame I didn't shame her for her body. Her body is her body. I'm shaming anybody that's doing that.

Samantha [00:56:53]:
Putting out naked photos of the No. No.

Lisa [00:56:55]:
I get the boudoir pictures. Lots of women do that for their husbands. That's fine. Right? If that's your thing, that's perfectly fine. Why are you putting naked? Why are you willingly putting naked pictures of yourself out there on the Internet?

Samantha [00:57:06]:
Why is the private public is basically what

Lisa [00:57:09]:
you're saying. Because guess what? They can't see who you are from your hoo They don't know they

Samantha [00:57:14]:
don't know

Lisa [00:57:15]:
how good your hoo is. They don't know if it performs well. They don't know if it, like, lubes up like it should. They don't know Stop. Stop. It's like a it's like a car. Right? Till they look under the hood a little bit more, they really can't tell just from looking. Don't.

Lisa [00:57:32]:
It's true. It's true. That's so bad. That's what she's doing. There it is.

Samantha [00:57:39]:
You wanna be my boyfriend?

Lisa [00:57:41]:
This is what I got to offer. Right? Seems like the wrong it's the wrong message. It seems a wrong message.

Samantha [00:57:48]:
It is the wrong message. Right?

Lisa [00:57:52]:
Oh. Whitney. Lord. Whitney. Whitney. Whitney.

Samantha [00:57:58]:
Okay. So you know how we talked about the astronauts last week? Mhmm. They got stranded in space. Yeah. They're still there. Apparently, the Starliner, their ship is back on Earth now.

Lisa [00:58:10]:
I watched the landing. I watched on Friday it was on Friday in one piece. In one piece. The NN was showing it. Right? So I started watching because I'm thinking nobody's on it, but it's gonna be cool

Samantha [00:58:21]:
to watch it blow up. And it was it did not

Lisa [00:58:25]:
It seemed just fine. It seemed fine.

Samantha [00:58:27]:
Perfectly fine. Landed air air parachute, the whole bit.

Lisa [00:58:32]:
Uh-huh. Boring night minutes of my life.

Samantha [00:58:34]:
Do you think the 2 astronauts left behind are like, seriously? I'm pissed.

Lisa [00:58:40]:
I would be. Would you be kind of pissed, like, if all of a sudden they get they're listening to it on their radio and all of a sudden they hear, breaker breaker, cooning landing? Breaker breaker.

Samantha [00:58:50]:
Capsule They're not truckers.

Lisa [00:58:53]:
I'm just saying. Right? Maybe that's what they use. Right? And all of a sudden,

Samantha [00:58:56]:
they just hear capsule intact.

Lisa [00:58:58]:
What are when it's you and I? What are we doing? We're like, are you fucking kidding me? Yeah. Shut the fuck up. Rewind that. They couldn't have said that. Right?

Samantha [00:59:06]:
No. Yeah. Because they actually have to work while they're up there. They have to help the the existing crew do some kind of project thing. Really? Because I'm thinking I'm on holidays because I was supposed

Lisa [00:59:17]:
to be back on Earth. So Uh-uh. But what

Samantha [00:59:19]:
are you gonna do? Because they're there for 4 months now. And I

Lisa [00:59:23]:
I'm not doing nothing. I'm just sitting in space. Thank

Samantha [00:59:25]:
you. Nobody's coming to get them till February.

Lisa [00:59:28]:
February. Right? I'm gonna be mad in space. That's me. Mad in space.

Samantha [00:59:32]:
I am so mad right now.

Lisa [00:59:33]:
So mad in space.

Samantha [00:59:35]:
And I would stomp my foot if I could.

Lisa [00:59:38]:
If my foot would connect with something, I would stomp I would kick something if I were something that wasn't floating above my head. Right? Oh my I'd be mad. I'd be so mad.

Samantha [00:59:48]:
I'd be so mad too. Right? Totally mad. K. So we put it out there again. Yes, we do.

Lisa [00:59:55]:
Sunday spotlight. Woo hoo. Sunday spotlight.

Samantha [00:59:59]:

Lisa [01:00:04]:
Samantha, I'm gonna share a few. Okay? Oh, okay. Haley, she wants an estate ring

Samantha [01:00:09]:

Samantha [01:00:15]:
the crazy frog lady. Yeah.

Lisa [01:00:17]:
I'm like, I've never heard of a crazy frog lady. And then I messaged her saying, stuffies and ornaments are like the real thing? She said stuffies, like, oh, thank lord. Right? Because that what would you do with, like, a lots of what would you do with real life frogs?

Samantha [01:00:30]:

Samantha [01:00:57]:
a tiny house and a car. That makes sense. Like, how tiny? Like, a small house? Like, just a tiny house.

Lisa [01:01:03]:
Do you want a tiny car too or a big car?

Samantha [01:01:05]:
I would say I would want

Lisa [01:01:06]:
a big car. I have a tiny car. I would want a clown car. It's not a clown car. Right? Carol wants a cabin on a luxurious ship called the World at Sea.

Samantha [01:02:52]:

Lisa [01:02:54]:
So everything's a competition competition. It is competition.

Samantha [01:02:59]:
Okay. So you know how everyone's like, happy anniversary, happy birthday. All those obligatory posts that you put in, don't be damned because somebody cares that it's posted. Yeah.

Lisa [01:03:31]:
You are a schmuck.

Samantha [01:03:33]:
I am a schmuck.

Lisa [01:03:34]:
Right? Because I don't even remember. I would put on your Facebook page, Happy Birthday, Sam. And you might put on mine if you saw that somebody else had already posted it. You'd be like, Oh, shit. Right? Right? That's the difference between

Samantha [01:03:49]:
I text you. Is that not enough? You gotta figure it has to be all parts

Lisa [01:03:53]:
of it. It has to be everything.

Samantha [01:03:54]:

Samantha [01:04:19]:
That is so, like why? Why?

Lisa [01:04:23]:
You don't want a happy birthday from the world? You don't want No.

Samantha [01:04:26]:

Lisa [01:04:54]:
Why is it it's a nice thing to do. Why do I gotta be nice like everybody else? I don't know. It needs to be it needs to make your heart feel good.

Samantha [01:05:04]:
Oh my god. You're so, like, you're attention seeking though. That's you. That's why you think it's odd that nobody else does it as much as you do.

Lisa [01:05:38]:
What about the person who posts the obligatory post because the other person doesn't have social media?

Samantha [01:05:45]:
And then what's the point?

Lisa [01:05:47]:
Is that the thing? Is What's the point? If the

Samantha [01:05:49]:
person you're post, your mom just your husband is at Facebook. You wished him a happy birthday on his birthday on social media. He's not gonna see that.

Lisa [01:05:59]:
But maybe it makes him feel good to hear all the great well wishes.

Samantha [01:06:02]:
Did you did you share that with him then?

Lisa [01:06:05]:
Of course, I do. Uh-huh. Of course, I do. You betcha.

Samantha [01:06:09]:

Darn it. Never.

Samantha [01:06:25]:
Oh, the awkward exchanges I would live for. Never.

Lisa [01:06:34]:
Good try. Good try.

Samantha [01:06:37]:
Okay. But Facebook algorithms, they need that. They need to smarten up. Right? Right. Because what are we still seeing? We're still seeing back to school pics.

Lisa [01:06:49]:
Right? I get it. I get it. You get all you parents out there, you got kids. They went to school. Kind of the end of it for me.

Samantha [01:06:59]:
You're kinda done.

Lisa [01:07:00]:
We're kind of over it now.

Samantha [01:07:02]:
I am now waiting for the 100,000 pictures of I'm fall, and this is what I do in fall. And this is all the pumpkin spice I drink.

Absolutely. Right.

Samantha [01:07:13]:
I'm waiting for oranges and pumpkins. All of it. Leaves and all of the things.

Lisa [01:07:19]:
Right? And then in the 1st day of snow, it'd be like, I know. I get it. We've got 1 kids, and it snowed. Right?

Samantha [01:07:27]:
Oh my god. It apparently snowed in Ontario though.

Lisa [01:07:30]:
Oh, wow. Already? It was like it was like in Montreal. My sister and her family went to Montreal for the weekend. And in the picture, my 2 nieces are in their puffer coats, boots Oh. And long pants. I messaged my sister. Is this just new and, like, did you guys move to a different country? She's like, it was 6 degrees. Why are you in a puff why are they in puffer coats? It's 6 degrees.

Lisa [01:07:56]:

Lisa [01:08:09]:
And I'm like I'm like because it was 36 degrees here yesterday. Right? Like It was so hot. Crazy. Crazy, I say.

Samantha [01:08:19]:
I don't know what's happened to Canada. On one side, we're hot, and the next side, we're cold. And then someone's getting snow, and it's like, what a frat.

Lisa [01:08:26]:
Canada's going through menopause.

Samantha [01:08:28]:
Oh my god. It is, like, seriously. Totally. It's

Lisa [01:08:31]:
all over the place.

Samantha [01:08:32]:
But yet, I wait for all of the fall things to come.

And take your pictures and post them on your Facebook.
