Where Are We Growing
S4E4: Cardigans, Concerts, and Crab Rangoons
What happens when a charming cardigan and a Taylor Swift piece face off in a durability contest? Our latest episode captures the ups and downs of transitioning to video content on platforms like YouTube and Spotify, alongside TikTok-driven fashion finds. We share the unexpected joy of a random dog visit and our latest discoveries from the TikTok shop, including a quirky chair and some vibrant eyeshadow. Amid our journey, I even took a stab at applying for a job with Half Moon. Plus, we couldn't resist the nostalgia of those adorable Ulta mini brands, even if they’re just delightful little collectibles.
Ever had a crab rangoon revelation or a minor fender-bender tale to tell? We have too, and we’re sharing all the laughs and lessons learned at a Target parking lot. Florida family vacations get a tech twist with TikTok obsessions, while poolside relaxation offers a serene counterbalance. And let’s not forget the hilarity of spooking friends through home security cameras—the kind of moments that make every day feel like an adventure.
Taylor Swift fans, we’ve got you covered with a concert experience recap that includes surprise songs, outfit changes, and even a hot tub viewing session in Florida. We dive into the thrill of anticipating her next move, comparing livestreams, and touching on the “hockey Swifty” controversy that rocked the fandom. With our love for Taylor's performances and the whirlwind of unexpected moments they bring, this episode is a celebration of our favorite stories and shared passions.
Eye-Opening Moments are stories of adversity, encounters, and perspectives. They are...

Speaker 1:It doesn't look like it's from the TikTok shop.
Speaker 2:I think you're supposed to take a match to it and then it all like burns away.
Speaker 1:I don't know how I feel about that that's for natural fibers, not for acrylic.
Speaker 2:Acrylic, you'll melt it right. Yeah, I feel like this would light on fire immediately. It would be I don't trust it Toasted. So, oh my gosh, brandon, it's like fall outside I know it looks beautiful.

Speaker 1:Anywho, let's go back to Back to the beginning of the rest of our lives.
Speaker 2:Last week we were in a little debate about your cream cheese wontons versus crab ragoons. Want to talk about that real quick. I hate cream cheese wontons versus crab ragoons. I want to talk about that real quick I hate cream cheese one, but crab ragoons are my favorite food.
Speaker 1:I mean I'll eat a cream cheese wonton. It's just like. It's like eating, I don't know like a cheese pizza when you could have pepperoni it's like still good, but like where's the flavor?
Speaker 2:I get. I can see what you mean. I dip them in like the sauces. Yeah, I mean I drench it either way, it is very minnesotan, I guess, to have cream cheese wontons and brandon. Being from wisconsin, is really pissed. He can't get his crab ragoon, so that's pretty much all that oh my god, I got craves, crab ragoons the other day good wait, was it crazy there crave all the all the.
Speaker 1:The aldi one is good, but no, I had one. I was at a restaurant and they had like. They had like a chutney, sweet and sour sauce and it was devoon uh, I just don't really love crab, I guess. Well see, but then this is the thing I like a crab ragoon, that's imitation crab meat. I don't like a real crab crab ragoon, that's too much.
Speaker 2:I guess Do you dip them in anything.
Speaker 1:I dip them in any sauce that comes with it. If they don't have it, I use the duck sauce.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:I won't eat it without a sauce. I'm kidding, I won't it without a sauce. I'm kidding, I won't. But we had cream cheese wontons last night.
Speaker 2:Oh, I love cream cheese. Wontons Case settled, that's that. On that. Did I tell you about what I did to someone's car In the Target parking lot the other day?
Speaker 1:A little smooch.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I kind of kissed Somebody's car with my car, okay, when you sent that.
Speaker 1:Do you know who that? Sue Bella? Sue Bell, lady from Miami. She's like super rich.
Speaker 2:Yes, yes, I just saw that before and she posted that video and she's like so. Happened again.
Speaker 1:Lexi, the Lexus kissed another car and then it pans down and her car is like smashed in and I was like that is not a kiss, yeah, I just tapped it, there was nothing on their car, my car but I was like, oh, and I don't know.
Speaker 2:Here's the thing. I like had just gotten back from the airport, I went to florida wait, maybe talk about that, um. But I just got into target because I was out of cat food and I pulled into the spot and I felt like I was a little too close to one car on the one side. So I actually pulled out and then pulled back in and all of a sudden I was like dude and I was like, oh, I just hit their car. And then I feel like a lot of other people would have just driven away and parked in a different spot and be like. But I stayed there and I was like there's a good chance that someone might just be waiting for me when I come out and be like you hit, hit my car girl.
Speaker 1:And then you went into Target, see, I would have driven away. You were so brave, I know, I don't know why.
Speaker 2:I just started walking away and I was like should I move my car? I don't know, but they were God and there was a different car in the parking spot when I came back and I was like phew.
Speaker 1:Okay, so I used and uh, if you don't know what a vehicle saber is, I'll put a picture in here when I'm editing and you can see I'll put the navy blue. It's the one I had as a bench seat in the front so you can sit. You can sit six people in a in a sedan. It was great. So it was a perfect college car because I would drive everyone everywhere. But the front is so long it's like a boat that I would kiss other cars so much that literally all my friends had a running joke where when it would happen, they would go le sabre kiss you're just bumping everyone everyone, I was bumping that I can't.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I feel bad. I was like shit, what the fuck is wrong with me, like I don't do that. I've never done that. I was like oh, oh well and that was also when I was like I missed the egg, I like turned too early and had to get back on the freeway. That was when I was going to that Target. It was just all around not a good afternoon.
Speaker 1:I mean, when is there a good afternoon? It's very rare, so.
Speaker 2:I had just gone to Florida. I got back two days ago. I'm feeling very tan, feeling very fun, spent most of the time at the pool. I think I clocked in a good like 20 hours at the pool.
Speaker 1:What else is there to do Nothing.
Speaker 2:So I was switching back and forth between that hot tub and pool, Um and okay. So my sister came along. She's 16. Maybe she'll watch this, Maybe she won't. I'm sure my parents will.
Speaker 1:And then they'll tell her about it, and then she will.
Speaker 2:Well, my dad was annoyed about this. Anyways, my sister showed up. She brought a friend. I didn't know I had a plus one. I thought I was going to get some sister time, but she brought a friend. That's cool.
Speaker 1:Tell me why they spent in their room watching tiktoks, like they came out, maybe for one hour a day. I mean, that's what I would have done as a teen, but I also didn't have access to wi-fi as a teen.
Speaker 2:So yeah, so they're just in there and um, what are you doing, are you? There's a bug in here flying a snack? Oh, that is not a fungus not that's like a fly, fly, that's probably the window. Sorry, there's a fly flying around.
Speaker 1:It happens oh my god, when I was watching you and brenna yesterday on the cameras watching them on the cameras there's cameras.
Speaker 1:When hank got dropped off, I was watching them on the ring not ring waves or wise but neither here nor there. I am just watching you guys and brenna is sitting by the door, kind of like she. You can tell she's like ready for the whole like transaction to be over and you're still just yapping away all of a sudden. And I was literally about to speak because I thought I thought the whole thing was gonna be done. So like this was like the third time I was trying to scare you guys and then I'm just like watching the screen and like a spider just goes over the screen and I almost threw my phone in this. Like I'm screen and I almost threw my phone in this. Like I'm at work and I almost threw my phone.
Speaker 2:And.
Speaker 1:Brenna's right there. She doesn't notice it and I'm like I wanted to be like, like turn the voice on and be like Brenna. Watch out, there's a spider. Anyway, speaking of spiders, I didn't, uh, speaking of spiders, I didn't uh, speaking of spiders, um, multiple of these plants may have spiders, I don't know brianna just popped in because she heard us talking about her I don't think she's ever done that.
Speaker 2:You had to de-spider these plants that you brought in.
Speaker 1:Well, because some of them were outside after I had treated them all, and so I think the spiders regained, and then it got warm again.
Speaker 2:Well, hopefully I didn't need to sit so close to this one.
Speaker 1:There is a spider web right by your leg, but I think it's like an old one.
Speaker 2:I don't like that.
Speaker 1:This one should be fine. This one is a questionable one.
Speaker 2:So is that one.
Speaker 1:But that one. You had all these outside, all four of these were yeah, um, they were bumping that, y'all just saying that now is that, was that you're gonna be your line. She no I am waiting for my opportunity. I'm wait, I okay moving on.
Speaker 2:Um, yeah, so I still have a couple plants I haven't brought in. I feel like I'm waiting to see how much I can push them, because it's still been a little bit I'm.
Speaker 1:I almost looked in the tent because there's like five that people didn't grab yeah.
Speaker 2:So brandon did end up posting them on facebook, being like, hey, y'all come hither um, which you knew you didn't want to do, and you regretted instantly well, yeah, so let's talk about your problem with giving away plants on facebook.
Speaker 1:That's what I have written down I mean, I am a guilty person who, like, doesn't believe anything is ever given for free. You know, like, if you like, if you give me something, I going to reward you in some sort of facet.
Speaker 2:Okay, you're very like transactional.
Speaker 1:And I was like these are technically free, but if you want to like, give me a little tip.
Speaker 2:He's like here's my Venmo.
Speaker 1:Not a single person did, except for the one person who actually requested some. I was like I want these gone tonight, so, like, send me a Venmo hold, so I'll hold them for you. She didn't. She brought cash after someone had already come and raided everything. It didn't leave any tip and I mean not that I care because they were gone, they were gonna die anyways you were gonna leave, but it's still the matter just even like it's a little treat like buy me a coffee.
Speaker 2:Buy me a coffee I love that.
Speaker 1:That's too funny. And then the other girl was gonna give me 40 bucks and I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 1:And she like was trying to hand it to me because I was like, oh no, she's coming to the door and I actually used to work with her, um, very briefly, but I was like oh god, oh god, oh god, and I was like just go and see what's left and then just leave money if, if you like what you see, she didn't like what she saw, she didn't take anything. So I'm very glad I rejected that 40 dollars.
Speaker 2:Yeah because like, how awkward would it be if she came back up and was like, hey, I want my money back. I didn't see anything yeah, I would have death, no, no. Yeah, you know what Just take, I don't know. Oh my gosh. So we ended up watching. We tried to watch the Austin City Limits live stream weekend too.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, we talked about weekend one.
Speaker 2:Turns out there isn't one, so we found Chaparone on a grainy live stream, you know, because that's what we're used to now.
Speaker 1:That's what we're used to now. That's what we do. We were just watching taylor. I was certainly watching her from the hot tub in florida. I've been trying to get heather on the mastermind. She won't do it. I mean not that I'm doing it either.
Speaker 2:But I'm also like I have videos of me and mari that, um, I actually maybe we'll insert it right here. We're like waiting to see. We're like we both guessed that she would come out in a new surprise song dress.
Speaker 1:We're like here we go we both did.
Speaker 2:We were like because she had the last two nights so logically she's gonna have another new one.
Speaker 1:And sure as hell she came out in a pink and like I haven't it's very lesbian looking I haven't been on tiktok that much, so I have to think mirror ball and then guilty of sin.
Speaker 2:I think that's. That was a mashup. It was very weird. It was very odd. I didn't understand that one anyways the new reputation body suit.
Speaker 2:You guys, here it is. Omg, were you the way that? I was like dad? People have been thinking she's gonna come out in a new body suit for like over 130 some shows. Now I said I will get, I will get her name tattooed on my forehead if she comes out in a new body suit. Four seconds later she comes out in a fucking gold bodysuit. I was losing my fucking mind. I was like my dad's, like what is going on?
Speaker 1:I'm like this.
Speaker 2:You don't understand. This is insane. And then she's saying, um god, what the fuck did she sing? She's saying I should have said no with, I did something bad. What the hell?
Speaker 1:debutation anyways no, I was. I was was giving Heather all the updates. She had gone to bed early.
Speaker 2:I was just like I was flipping out what the hell. And she had like new, fearless dress. She had a new. Speak now dress in my blue, another blue one, very weird.
Speaker 1:I feel like she just said you know what? Let's just let's fuck it up. No-transcript, let's fucking redo it all.
Speaker 2:She's yeah, whatever we got left.
Speaker 1:We only got like. Are there only nine dates left now? I don't know. No, there were 18, and they did three, so there's 15.
Speaker 2:There's three, then three, then six, then three. Yeah, okay, that's it. Yes, but she just posted on Instagram she, what are you talking about? Surprise show, hello, welcome back.
Speaker 1:She wouldn't come back to mania, but she'd probably go back to la or something.
Speaker 2:Anyways, um florida, yeah, literally watched her sing florida in florida. That is crazy from a green live stream. Though we don't watch test anymore. Now we watch for laric on the YouTube. Very good, brandon was like how did you get two streams pulled up at once? What the fuck. And I'm like YouTube. We don't watch Tess anymore. So I mean, we love Tess, but like this one would just seem to be a little bit more reliable. Anywho, no, she did Tess.
Speaker 1:Love Tess Also that hockey Swifty like too bad. So sad he was a creepy oh yeah, essay-er. I was like, how do I word this?
Speaker 2:Guys always gotta come in and ruin it. Like I was like wow, he's really, he's really doing his big one there's this dude from like what the fuck is it called Barstool or something that's like?
Speaker 1:a fake Swifty.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't know shit about him, but I've been hearing more about him.
Speaker 1:Oh, he's been hardcore going for Taylor for like 10 years. Oh, I'm Googling right now.
Speaker 2:Dave, whatever his name, is Not Dave Portnoy. What are you looking Is?
Speaker 1:it talking about Dave? No, the hockey Swifty guy. No, not the hockey.
Speaker 2:Are you looking up the hockey Swift?
Speaker 1:Taylor Swift Swift hockey. Oh full ban now in effect for hockey bro.
Speaker 2:He is a predator. Yeah. Yeah that's him.
Speaker 1:Because his was the best.
Speaker 2:You guys are going to want to see these images. What it's not what you're thinking, oh no.
Speaker 1:I'm worried. It's just a little kid. Send me that first one so we can put that here.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, we're going to have a lot of pictures. We're only 20 minutes in. We have a lot of edits to it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, just make sure you send them to me, because if you don't, I'll be like huh, I will.
Speaker 2:So the other day I went to Apple Orchard in my hometown and then we drove to the new high school. Okay, so I used to go to a high school where there was two. This is a complete change of subject, because that's what we do. There was a North campus and a South campus, so like 9th and 10th graders went to one campus and then, like 10 minutes away, 11th and 12th graders went to another campus.
Speaker 1:That's a big distance.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so another campus, that's a big distance. Yeah, so we were definitely it was very different. So like it was like two small, which honestly is kind of nice, I feel like it prevents an essay. I mean, it was definitely yeah, because you don't have seniors creeping around the freshmen they did it at, like the football games, I guess um.
Speaker 1:Also you rejoined for extracurriculars I guess, what about sports? Did you all come back together in a central field?
Speaker 2:So there was like one main field and that was like the south campus where, like the seniors are, so like do the people at the north campus have to like bus down after school? I mean, you would normally go home and then go down there if you want to, but like football, games were never right after school.
Speaker 1:What about, like practice and stuff?
Speaker 2:They would just stay after. Some of them have to take a bus down to the other campus. Oh and stuff. They would just stay after. Some of them have to take a bus down to the other campus sounds like a nightmare. I had to drive from one campus to the other on my junior year.
Speaker 2:I had because I needed to take spanish one, and they did not offer spanish one at the south campus, where all the seniors and juniors are so I had to drive from one campus to the other and there was a little bit of time because north campus started a little earlier than south campus, so there was enough time for me to do my first period there and then have to drive to south campus and then have the rest of the day there. Very annoying, I mean. Especially I would freak out because I okay, I paid for a parking pass because I'd park at school and by the time I got to south campus park at school yeah, we had parking passes.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you had to pay. It was a hundred. It was like it was expensive per semester, I swear it had to been like a hundred dollars or something. What, yeah, ridiculous that's insane.
Speaker 1:I'm not taking the bus. We just had a big parking lot. We all just parked there that's crazy. Yeah, but I guess when you pay, but how many people went to your high school?
Speaker 2:I had 600 in my class I had 550 in my entire high school oh no yeah, um, no, white bears.
Speaker 2:I went to high school, so if you y'all are local and you know where that is, graduated in 2015. Hi, so when in the winter you'd get there and the whole parking lot would be full, because people can't see the lines, so they end up taking up more room than needed and I could never get a spot. So in the winter snow is high. I had to park down the street, even though I pay for a spot, and then had to walk down there and would be late. I would go to Taco John's in between class and go get some potato olays.
Speaker 1:We were not allowed off campus.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, they were also kind of strict about that, but obviously I had a special circumstance.
Speaker 1:Fortunately, my mom worked at the high school, so the rules didn't apply to me.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, what did your mom do she?
Speaker 1:was the guidance secretary. I did not know that. Did you know that?
Speaker 2:either.
Speaker 1:I didn't know that, lisa it was like a shockingly powerful position in the school. She could get me anything I wanted, really, but I didn't want much and I was. I was like, oh gross, my mom works in the high school does anyone say I? Really didn't take advantage of it like I should have.
Speaker 2:Lisa doesn't know the word.
Speaker 1:no, she would do things on my behalf without telling me, and then she'd be like, oh, by the way, I did this and I was like, oh well, that worked out for me.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So I went to the new high school because what they did is they voted a couple years back on whether to combine the high schools finally. So then the idea would be they would build on to north campus and it would become a completely different high school, and then south campus would become a new middle school, and they voted and that's what they did. So this year's the first year where people are all starting at the new school, and I sat in the parking lot and just remembering what it used to look like. I was sitting there and I was having a crisis because I was like where the fuck am I? This is in the middle.
Speaker 1:Oh, no, okay, mind you, we were so confused because, we were tracking your location because we didn't know when you were coming over, because I was like okay, should I get everything? Set up. You were at the Apple Orchard, then you were at some weird strip mall and I was like what is weird? And then you were at I'm like now she's at the high school.
Speaker 2:What is going on?
Speaker 1:I was having a car accident. They've been doing like.
Speaker 2:They've been doing like tours. So Anita and I were trying to see if we could like go in and see what's going on.
Speaker 1:So we went to each different parking lot, trying to get in we're adopting a high schooler and really would like a tour of this campus well, because we saw cars in the parking lot so they had to have been able to get in at some like somehow. But then oh, like it's gated, like you can't physically no, you can you can go into the parking lot, but the doors were locked everywhere.
Speaker 2:Oh so, but oh my god, I was just having, but it was kind of later in the day it was was like what?
Speaker 1:six or seven. It was like five. I'm in.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so we'll go eventually. But I'm just like, oh my God, like people who are going to band because I grew up I went to like band in high school. I was a band nerd and that was such an integral part of my high school and people are going, even though it's still White Bear Lake High School and I don't know why I was having. I was also a little bit high, so I was just sitting there and I was like what the fuck is going on? What instrument did you play? Flute, me too. Here's a picture of me with my flute.
Speaker 1:Wait, do you have a pickle in your?
Speaker 2:lip what it makes you wait. I don't know, but I also played piccolo for marching band at the same college that randall went to the piccolists at uwc were feudal gods oh my god, yeah, except we're in the back of the field. That's kind of how it goes. My uh former band director there, like another marching band director, randy Dickerson, what, yeah, which? Do you know what Randy means in UK slang Rondy baby?
Speaker 1:What.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it means horny. Have you not seen Austin Powers?
Speaker 1:Wait, does he actually say that?
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:I'm Rondy baby. I've seen all of them.
Speaker 2:One time when I was like a child, I'm sure I didn't know what was going, so he went over to europe and he said his name was randy dickerson and everyone's like what the fuck, bro? Anyway, shout out to randy dickerson, he's great. Um, he's retiring though this year, finally, after doing it for 25 years.
Speaker 1:So I never took band, but one time uh, I think it was after high school I hope I was wasted at a taco bell and then he came in wasted.
Speaker 1:Not much has changed and we both looked at each other because we knew who each other were, because his wife was like the student council president. Well, I think they're divorced now. But like we made eye contact and he was like really drunk and I was really drunk. And there's that picture of me and sam fisher where, like we made eye contact and he was like really drunk and I was really drunk. And there's that picture of me and sam fisher where like we're both really tan and it's creepy. It was that night we were at taco bell. And then I look and I see like the band teacher who I've never really had a full conversation with, we're like hey uh love band teachers.
Speaker 2:I was gonna be. That was my major at UWEC.
Speaker 1:You are a musical bitch.
Speaker 2:I wanted to change kids' lives. The power of music Can you imagine. No, I can't imagine being a teacher right now. I think I wouldn't.

Speaker 2:Smoke cigarettes at least they're smoking that and like no reaction at all and we're like does anyone want a refill? Because I I'm about to get one.
Speaker 1:Well, if you're going to get one, you might as well top me off.
Speaker 2:Jesus, you guys are crazy drinkers. Brandon learned to get an opaque cup this time. Yeah we're doing. Love is Blind.
Speaker 1:You know what would be really funny If I ordered the actual Love is Blind cups, because you can order them. Heather, what are you doing? Just take this whatever.
Speaker 2:Okay, I guess we're doing it on camera and on camera refill. Oh nice um, the salt lake city bitches finally went to milwaukee no, that's not what I'm drinking now, I don't know what he's drinking some red wine I have red wine in here.
Speaker 1:You're just gonna pour some champagne on top. Go no go close. He wouldn't waste it that is one thing where I don't know if she's really doing that.
Speaker 2:Oh, she's bringing it back for you she's bumping, oh my god, what do we do without heather?
Speaker 1:I don't know. See, we filmed the last episode without her and I was like heather, it was a struggle yeah, we need her on the on deck for google and commentary honestly, I mean, if we carry on our talk on our commentary literally she, she fills in the gaps, like they're like. They're like podcasts that I watch, where I'm like why is why isn't the producer a host? They're just like in the background. Like you, you don't know what they look like unless you really follow the podcast.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I'm like how do you give that vibe?
Speaker 1:you bring the riz oh, I love heather.
Speaker 2:Shout out heather. Oh no, where's the red wine?
Speaker 1:probably on the counter.
Speaker 2:I don't know um, but yeah, salt lake city yeah, it's definitely on the counter, oh my god, brandon, our house was salt lake city. They finally went to milwaukee milwaukee heather heather, okay, heather gay after ozempic.
Speaker 1:Really I'm not, she scares me a little bit should we be trying to get housewives to be our guests?
Speaker 2:are you fucking kidding me, do you think we?
Speaker 1:could do that?
Speaker 2:no, I think we could maybe we can dream, make brain, and there are so many bugs on this okay.
Speaker 1:Well then we need to close that window. I just left the window open so we won't be sweating. That's why I'm always in a tank top, because it's so hot. And how do people record without their acs blasting into?
Speaker 2:the mic. I know, britney bros, you shut up.
Speaker 1:Britney bros, britney bros, you, she's sweating her chair it's so hot I get when all the RuPaul girls are like Ru keeps it so cold in that studio.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no shit, yeah the lights.
Speaker 1:The camera, the action Also. I'm like these lights probably are good. We'll see when I edit it. There seems to be less shadow. That was my main concern.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I guess this looks a little bit more wool-laid up. I don't really know, I can barely see us. I was shocked at how good it came out on the TV. I was like, whoa, there we are.
Speaker 1:I'd say dad ass, perfect baby, dad ass. Salt Lake City.
Speaker 2:You recognized more. I mean, I don't really know Milwaukee that well. I've been there twice maybe this is.
Speaker 1:It used to be like my bar. It was like the saloon of Milwaukee, but less. Trixie Mattel's okay, so let's talk about how they went to Trixie Mattel's bar. But Trixie wasn't there. It was a Trixie impersonator who's not from Milwaukee, to my knowledge.
Speaker 2:I was very confused about that. What are we doing?
Speaker 1:did they fly this person in?
Speaker 2:I could have looked it up and like actually, well, I know, I mean tricksy wasn't on her break yet and who's a tricksy impersonator I don't know. I there is a tricksy person maybe it's the same one, I don't know has been filling in for tricksy a little bit on her youtube channel while she's gone.
Speaker 1:The impersonator, a Trixie impersonator. I saw one video.
Speaker 2:I didn't really watch the whole thing.
Speaker 1:Because I remember when that was actually being filmed last February and people I knew were like taking videos with the housewives and I was like, oh my god, we didn't really notice that Trixie wasn't there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, do you guys want me to?
Speaker 1:look it up, mean I thought I was here for a reason if it was a tricksy impersonator yeah, well, it was, but we don't know. We just want to know if the tricksy impersonator is from milwaukee or not because if they live there, because if they've, unless they should be from milwaukee or salt lake, nowhere else is acceptable doesn't make any sense watch the podcast.
Speaker 2:They went just they went just to what hell? They went to some bobblehead museum, you said you've seen ads for this.
Speaker 1:The bobblehead museum used to be. What insurance company is that? American family insurance american family insurance commercials used to like because they insure that museum. They would play it all the time. Be like. My son loved bobbleheads and so I just wanted to start a museum in honor of my son and his addiction to bobbleheads. And I was like, oh my god, can we stop playing this on the radio? I'm not bumping that we're not.
Speaker 1:We're not loving that and then when I actually saw the inside, I was like, wow, I'm glad I never went there they.
Speaker 2:I don't know if it's like a regular thing, but honestly, housewives do some like which would be a cool thing if you like but that's just not for me I was shocked at the girls that actually went. I mean, mary, are you kidding me? Uh, and then the other girls went to the casino and I was like they went to potawatomi in the middle of the day.
Speaker 1:I can't even imagine anything more depressing. God, both of those options were just terrible I mean whitney's planning.
Speaker 2:You know, I'm saying reach out to me yeah, whit, did you talk to any travel agents? A?
Speaker 1:Milwaukee native. I could have given you plenty of options. I will say the Harley Davidson Museum is cooler.
Speaker 2:And they had a huge fucking fight there. What are you looking at now?
Speaker 1:Okay, we need to close that one. That's gotta go. Close the window, oh no.
Speaker 2:Brenna's gonna freak out. Shh. We're looking at a lot of bugs on the ceiling. I see at least a dozen up there. What are those two spots? Oh my God, holy shit, that's a lot. Why are there? I didn't even look up what the hell. There's been a breach in security and we've been invaded. Yeah, so the occasional bug, that wasn't just one. There's like 50 at least of them in here.
Speaker 1:Did they die on the ceiling? What are those two little stains? No, they're going to make homes in all of the plants? No, they don't, those are just. They die within 24 hours. But now I'm going to have to vacuum them all up, oh God.
Speaker 2:We're going to door dash Heather, taco Bell nacho fries. Okay, so I saw, uh, wendy's has some like crabby patty. Did you see that? Has that been you getting ads with that on? Shockingly no, no, wendy's. It's literally just a wendy's burger, but they're like it's a crabby patty I've been getting the chicken big mac chicken big mac, yeah, um the Big Mac already has too much bread.
Speaker 1:I can't even imagine chicken breading on top of bread.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't like chicken. Yeah, that's the reason why I don't.
Speaker 1:Also is it two McChicken patties.
Speaker 2:That is the Krabby Patty.
Speaker 1:So it's just a Dave's single yeah. What is Krabby about it? Does it have a special sauce? Is there a crab red goon on it? There's some.
Speaker 2:There's some type of um sauce on there. I don't know if it's what type of burger sauce.
Speaker 1:It is a crabby patty french fries and then pineapple, pineapple under the sea frosty oh, okay, that, that's cute under the sea.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so I don't know what show I was watching. Maybe it was love is blind. Um. Have you been watching?
Speaker 1:you've been keeping up with. Love is Blind. New episodes are coming out tomorrow. I think it's the wedding. I have to catch up to last week's episodes.
Speaker 2:Everyone's breaking up. Anyways, damn, there's not really a lot of good matches this season on. Love is Blind.
Speaker 1:They're really weird.
Speaker 2:Okay, I was pissed that they didn't follow the rich guy and the girl who obviously did not like they. They should have just had a side quest, they should have just gone and recorded whatever that's the first time, I think, they've ever been like hey, here's this couple that we showed you he did pop up on my tiktok and he was like here's three things I wish I would have learned before going on love I mean.
Speaker 2:For christ's sake. He's like I don't want girls to just want me for money. And then all he talks about is his money and how much money he has and whatever.
Speaker 1:He's like I, come from a billionaire wealthy chain of lineage. He should have just led with dad-ass perfect baby.
Speaker 2:You're clearly not watching the Menendez brothers. I've watched the first two episodes. Maybe I was sleeping for part of it. Have you seen the edits? No, I have not. My TikTok's all about Liam Payne, yeah.
Speaker 1:I won't stop Liam.
Speaker 2:Payne, bro, liam Payne. There's a girl already that was doing some witchy stuff and was me trying to talk to Liam to see if Larry was real.
Speaker 1:See, I'm not into One Direction. Lore that much.
Speaker 2:I don't know who larry is. Larry is people who ship harry and louie, louie.
Speaker 1:Yes okay, I did that.
Speaker 2:There was a point where I did think that was real so, um, and one girl in the comments was like I mean, a lot of the girls were like it's too soon, it's too soon, and people were like what the hell? And the one girl was like girl, I can't believe you. And she's like dot dot, dot. What did he say? See, that was a very late reaction I, I'm still like processing yeah.
Speaker 2:So I got to imagine I land in florida, my co-workers like dude liam payne dead and I was like what, I look it up on google fucking five minutes ago like what the hell? Well, I had to break the news.
Speaker 1:You snapped me and then I was because we were at work and we were super busy. One of my co-workers comes up to me and she's like, oh my god, did you hear about liam? And I knew she was talking about liam payne, because I've been like seeing stuff and there's yeah, there's been a customer came up and we had to get like.
Speaker 1:We were distracted and she was like it'll take some time, so we'll talk, we'll, we'll debrief later. And then we never debrief later, and so I had no clue what happened until I saw your snap.
Speaker 2:Had to spread the news. You know Someone's got to break the bad news.
Speaker 1:And now I can't escape it.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, it's all over. I mean, Prez Hilton was even talking about it.
Speaker 1:I will say the way he's been covering it has been. It seems to be pretty respectful.
Speaker 2:For him.
Speaker 1:I think he's like y'all are going to drag me, so I'm going to try to be as delicate as possible.
Speaker 2:He's trying to be relevant. Remember when he stitched my video. I feel like I vaguely remember that, the paper towel one. I feel like I vaguely remember that Because it was right after he got banned from TikTok.
Speaker 1:so he had like 20 burner accounts that he'd make content off of in case they got banned, because his main account was banned and he made a video of me and like talked about me afterwards.
Speaker 2:It was actually it was. He thought it was hilarious. I knew you were famous, but I didn't know you were that famous. No, that fucking paper towel video wherever it was popped off.
Speaker 1:I remember that, I just because remember, I just like recorded, wasn't that?
Speaker 2:your first millionaire you that was one that you sent me in snapchat and then you ended up posting.
Speaker 1:I like, literally, was like maybe I should save this. And then I was like maybe I should post this. And then I was like, eh, maybe I should post this, it's funny. And then millions and millions of views later.
Speaker 2:That was years ago, my God. Flashback.

Speaker 2:That's why it's written down.

Speaker 1:it's like no, it's south of where she used to live, like she used to live in that lake right above, but oh my god, it's right.
Speaker 2:I know where that is because that's where the gift shop is that I go to, right across the street 14 gift shop. Oh yeah, oh my gosh. Yeah, so chicago. I'm so excited, it's gonna be so fun, so that's what I spent my money on. Anyways, want to tell us about your dreams that you've been having? I've been having horrible dreams. I'm like scared to go to bed every night because he doesn't want to horrific.
Speaker 1:But you know, do you know? Do you know why I've been dreaming? It's because your pills. I filmed a video and I put the pendulum in my drawer, so I forgot it existed. I forgot that you existed and then I you have to use it every night and then not dream.
Speaker 1:Yes, okay and so basically, and so I'm like I wake up at 4 44 am, like seven days in a row 4 44 am that's an angel number. I know nate brought it up and I was like I don't care about angel numbers well, you should anyway, it means I'm protected by some divine guardian.
Speaker 1:I don't fucking know jennifer's body. Jennifer protect me, uh. But they're just like these dreams that are just like a nightmare, but not a nightmare. They're a nightmare for me because they would be like if you put me in the social situation I would literally never want to be in, which is any social situation I mean that is true, this is the only.
Speaker 1:This is as far as my socialization goes. But it's like I'll be like the. The last one I had, I was at the airport and then I kept losing my luggage. Because it's like I'm I'm playing myself with a controller. It's not like lucid dreaming, but I can kind of control my character. So it's like I can't control the environment, I can't go to control what's going on around me, but I can control how I'm moving. I can't fly, I can't do anything cool like that, but it's like I'm using a controller. So it's like my motor. I'm like trying to grab a leaf and I'm like like it just doesn't work, like I'm just a very limited. And so last one I was an airport and I was losing my luggage. No one would help me find my luggage and I couldn't like communicate properly, I couldn't like grab things properly, like it's just that's how my dreams are.
Speaker 2:And this is the nightmare. This is like you can't find your luggage.
Speaker 1:It's hours long and things keep happening and happening and then I run into someone I know who I think is going to help me and they completely blow me off, like or it's like I will be in a situation like I'll be like we're recording the podcast but guess what? I'm dating my abusive ex and he's sitting in the background judging all of us. It's like that's the kind of dreams that I have. It's not. I wish. I wish I would get murderers, demons, monsters. Then I, because mind fucky, because then my brain can't tell. It's like, even when I can tell it's a dream, think like it will morph more realistic. So then I'm like, is this a dream or is it not a dream?
Speaker 1:I can't tell I'm just wondering who you pissed off in another life, everyone. My dreams are a nightmare and I was gonna talk about on therapy on monday, but then I woke up at 9 30 when my appointment was at nine oh, does she like call you or like, does she email you or what she sends an?
Speaker 2:email like halfway through the session and it's like hey, miss session oops, so you're on mondays now at 9 am.
Speaker 1:It's not a good time. Tuesdays at 10 were perfect or wednesdays at 10.
Speaker 2:I was gonna say you at 10. I was going to say you were on Wednesdays. Maybe she just can't handle you then me on Tuesdays.
Speaker 1:I feel me and Heather go to the same therapist.
Speaker 2:And Sam and Deanna.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and actually like four other people who I'm loosely affiliated with.
Speaker 2:That's crazy. Maybe I need to go to Whitney. No, I mean.
Speaker 1:I don't think I can pay for her, though, when she kicks me. It's only 25 dollars copay. Well, does she accept my insurance is the thing yeah, she takes everything.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so when I get booted, you can take my spot. She's gonna kick you out or you can graduate.
Speaker 1:I graduated from therapy, kind of um, I don't foresee that happening, but maybe've got a lot to work on.
Speaker 2:I mean, you're older than me, you have more years to heal back.
Speaker 1:And more trauma.
Speaker 2:Yeah, A little more traumatized.
Speaker 1:Nobody graduates from therapy before the age of 30.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry. Well, sometimes you graduate from a specific therapist but you've got to start seeing somebody else. You can't stick with the same therapist for more than eight or ten years. I will say the emdr. That's what probably will keep me going for a long time.
Speaker 1:Maybe that's why you're getting those dreams.
Speaker 2:No, because I haven't done in a while, so do you not have them anymore, now that you have your pendulum back?
Speaker 1:yes, and so two nights ago, I brought the pendulum back out of the cupboard specifically this cupboard, this is my bedroom nightstand that I moved into this room.
Speaker 2:You just you just drag it from one new room to another. Yep, brandon really does a lot to put this corner together this is normally brenda's desk, not all these plants and chairs wait, do you move this over too? Yeah, I go all out do you remember when you told me to breathe?
Speaker 1:in really, really hard to the benjamin, the one hit that sent me to mars. Yeah, I get good benjamin cartridges yeah, that is a.
Speaker 2:That was like a horrible, horrible idea moving on.
Speaker 1:Do the dinosaur shows help before bed? Depends okay on how much of the benjamin I've consumed, because if I consume too much I find it really weird and I'm like then I start getting conspiracy theory and I'm like did dinosaurs really exist? Do conservatives have? A point where these dinosaurs aren't real. And then I'm like and then the logic comes in, where it's like they found the skeletons, Like they they're real. But when you look at the body shapes of the T-Rex and that weird-ass fucking bird.
Speaker 2:There's no way they existed.
Speaker 1:No wonder they died off Chickens are from dinosaurs. The catacuato is what she's. I'll put a picture of a catacuato right here.
Speaker 2:You say that's your favorite dinosaur.
Speaker 1:My co-worker used to ask me what my favorite dinosaur was Mine's, the ankylosaurus, which is apparently a very autistic thing to say.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that is really. Here's what it looks like. I have no idea what it looks like. I do because it looks like a brontosaurus.
Speaker 1:But it's not. No, it does not. Is that the one Antimosaurus?
Speaker 2:I like the one that's on the dinosaur chicken nuggets Like the one that's like tall and eats plants and looks like I could pet it.
Speaker 1:Like the really tall, like a long neck.
Speaker 2:Yeah long neck Smooth guy.
Speaker 1:Like a brachiosaur yeah.
Speaker 2:And a patsaur Brachiosaurus Brachiosaurus.
Speaker 1:There is a what is that? Titanosaurus is the biggest one that ever existed.
