Episode 24 (00:06.276)
That's the one way to start. Just absolute hysteria. Okay. So, welcome, welcome. I was going to open my energy drink and Priscilla made me laugh. I was making fun of you. Yeah. So there was one episode that we did that, we were trying to record. Yeah. We had some technical difficulties. Yeah. So I didn't have my drink to open. So when we went to start the podcast, I went...

because that was the noise of the can opening. And Priscilla sounded like, what did you say I sounded like? I said you sound like a broken cat. A broken cat. Which now I can see it. Like you're trying to hiss at something, but you didn't quite make it. And you're just like. But then I started making like a weird face with a double.

It's accurate. It is accurate. Okay, I'll let you make your noise now.

Got me in the face. I can't have anything nice around here. I can't have anything nice. I bring to you a new drink. Yeah. Priscilla. What is that? This is a V8 energy. So I had a little bit of a kick with these V8 energy. Because I should have had a V8. You can't do it if I'm having the V8, Priscilla.

It took a second for my brain to register what the fuck just happened and why I just got smacked in the f***g face!

Episode 24 (01:51.588)
I had to do it while you were talking because I knew that was the only way I was going to get the full reaction I wanted. Honest to God, that is the only way because had I not been looking at the can, I would have swiped you away. No, I might let you do it if I thought it was like a bug. And I came in real slow. You did come in real slow. I did look questioned. I would like to go back and review the tape as to how that looked. my God. And the reaction and the look on my face and everything. Don't do it again.

You will die. Deal. But this is a V8 energy. I went on a kick when they first came out with the V8 energies. I don't like V8 juice. I think V8 juice like straight up, it tastes like spaghetti -os without the O's. I don't know if you've ever had it, like straight up V8, just tomato juice. It tastes like...

Listen, I don't mess with tomato juice. I don't mess with vegetable juice in general. No, it's gross. That sounds so like, wow, she don't like nothing healthy. Now it's not that. No, it's just a natural. Yes. She's a healthier eater of the two of us. She takes all that stuff into consideration. But who likes V8? But you know, you see all the commercials when you're a kid. So you're like, I'll try a V8 it's garbage. And jelly of the people who like it. I'm like...

And you're on another level. Jeff likes it. Really? And I just, no, like, no. He's not of this world. No, it literally tastes like SpaghettiOs without the O's. Like it just is like if you were drinking SpaghettiOs. So these ones have fruit. So I was like, OK. OK. OK. I'll try. They had like a mango one. There's a berry one. Which one is that one?

This is the limited edition summertime watermelon. Watermelon. It's so good. Okay. It's so refreshing. Yeah. It's the, I think it's the equivalent of a cup of coffee. Okay. So this is saying that a cup of coffee is 90 milligrams and that this is 80 milligrams. But I've seen other things say that 80 milligrams is a cup of coffee. My caffeine pills are 200.

Episode 24 (04:09.156)
Yeah, so you just pounded like three cups of coffee. But my caffeine pills say that's equivalent to one cup of coffee. You're just drinking really strong coffee. It's just one cup of really strong coffee. It really, honest to God, it really depends on what you read, what you're looking at, all that stuff, because there are different ranges of caffeine.

and a cup of coffee, but I do think on average it's like 80 to 90. Mm -hmm. Damn it. Okay, one eight -ounce. Eight fluid ounce cup is 95. But if we're talking, why was the largest option an eight fluid ounce? Damn it. Why are there smaller options? Espresso's?

Maybe there's a six fluid ounce. What's the six? Seventy one. That is a strange number. What's the one fluid ounce? Can you please tell me what one fluid ounce? Twelve. OK. Why? Why? Why do we need to know? Also, does that math right? I don't think so. I don't.

Episode 24 (05:33.06)
Where are you people getting your numbers? That does not math right. Maths don't math no more. That's just 95 for 8 food ounces. What's 95 divided by 8?

Well, like in... No, that math's right. Okay, it's off by one. Yes, okay, because I'm taking the 12 milligrams per one fluid ounce. And the highest option was eight fluid ounces. It was saying 95, but if you read it through your calcs, then it's 96. Okay, but let's go off of like a 12 times a...

14 fluid ounce because some of those coffee makers make a 14 ounce cup of coffee. really? Mine goes up to 12. Fine, we'll do 12. 144. Yeah. So I am not that crazy. 168 for 14 ounce. And my caffeine pill just gives me a little more than that. Yeah, just a little. See, you just had to justify it. I'm telling you, you just drink a bigger cup of coffee.

That's essentially all you're doing. Or just like a couple smaller cups of coffee. Yeah, no big deal. Whatever. I mean, it can't amount to how much coffee you drink because you would come in to work with your insulated cup. Yes. Your stainless steel insulated cup. Yes. Built to the brim. Yes. And then at some point you'd be like, yeah, I need more coffee. I'm like, what? You'd be like, yeah, you want to get Starbucks? And I mean, I...

I'm a yes girl. I I am you were you were my ride -or -die my yes, girl I was thinking about that the other day. I still am No, it's hard when you're not in the office with me. Well, yes, okay, but I thought you were saying no like I am a thousand percent I'm a ride -or -die. Yes girl. Yeah, like if I like you I will say yes to everything every time she did every time and I was just the thing about this the other day when I was in the office and I almost messaged you I had a craving for

Episode 24 (07:39.332)
something sweet. And I was like, God damn it, none of these people are going to go in on anything. But I would. But a thousand percent you would. Remember those days we used to get all them Krispy Kreme's? Okay. And this is this is like a high and low moment for me because now I'm like trying really hard to like cut a lot of bad stuff out of my diet. Like you were good about it then. I was. We would cheat on those days. You would do so, so good. I was better back then. And once in a blue moon. Yeah.

You would get that anchoring very, very rarely. I think in all the years that we worked together, I think it was only twice that you were the one that was like, do you want to get crispy kreme And I was like, but did we get just like a donut? No, no. Who gets one f***g donut? We got the whole damn box. The whole damn box. And how many were filled? How many were green filled? Almost all of them.

is this was before we sat next to each other. So I would make my way across the office to your desk with a big ass box of Krispy Kreme. Unless I ordered it and I hit it before, which we would typically have you hide it because otherwise it was dangerous. Yeah. All f***g engineers would come out on the woodworks and just be like, yeah, donuts. No, not for you. I don't put a dollar in the jar. They won't talk about that Krispy Kreme.

Five bucks a donut. Yeah, that's actually fair. Yeah, five bucks. But engineer. Extra fee. In the part of Texas that we're at, there are very few Krispy Kremes left. I literally know of one. Yeah, exactly. So like it was hard to get a hold of it. We were lucky we were working in a spot where they would deliver to. Yeah. And so you just got a whole box. Yep. And you know what? Those are really good days. Those were the best days. Now, where am I at?

I'm in a really stupidly happy relationship and now we both have to lose weight because of it. Because we have gained our happy and love like weight. We're both a little fluffy and we gotta work on it now. I don't know what you're talking about. I think you're beautiful just the way you are. This is why we're friends. But seriously, I was talking to a coworker and this cracks me up so hard that we were talking about how...

Episode 24 (10:00.804)
we were both just trying to cut stuff out of our diets. And he had said something along the lines of like, yeah, just, you know, being in a healthy relationship. And I was like, damn them. Damn them for making us so happy. Yeah. I mean, not really, but also, dang it. But on the bright side, we're in this together. Yeah. No, I totally get it. When I first moved out here,

and moved in with my now husband. I gained 15 pounds in less than a year. Yeah. Just like that. Because suddenly you're like, my God, we're so happy. Let's go have dates. Let's eat whatever we want. my God. You want that? I want that too. That and the options here are f***g endless. Like there's times that we have difficulty.

Okay, so we just got back from vacation. Yeah, we were exhausted. Yeah, our flight got delayed. We flew back on Saturday. Our flight got delayed like three times. Yeah. So by the time we got home, got our bags, got the dogs from boarding, got back to the actual house. Yeah, we were done for. Like we were like, we're not. No, we're not doing anything. We're not leaving this house again. Right. So come Sunday, we don't have any food. We've been gone for over.

week. I was like, I'm not going grocery shopping. I was like, I don't have it in me. Even if you did, you wouldn't have it in you to cook. Exactly. Like we're spent from just being on vacation. So we were bad all week and we dashed. It's just, it's so damn convenient. And that's where they f***g get you. But there's, there's been nights this whole past week that like 30 minutes have been passed and neither one of us have picked what we want to do because there's

too many options. Well, do I have the fix for you? do you? I forgot to show you. I'll show you after this episode. I ordered off of Etsy because what up? Let's support some small shops. Is it the spinny thing? About the spinny thing. I saw that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So on the spinny thing, you have a ton of options. I want to say a lot of it is like Thai food, Filipino food, Italian. Like, you know, it's got all those.

Episode 24 (12:24.42)
But then it also came with leftovers. Ask mom and spin again, I think. And so I declared that ask mom means healthy. Means what? Bankruptcy. I declare bankruptcy. Ask mom means healthy food because that's not an option on there. I like that. And in.

fast food or yeah, one of the options is fast food. Maybe it's not spin again. I think it's fast food. And, or no, I'm sorry. It says take out and Cole and I were like, well, everything's take out. So I said take out should mean American because that's not an option. That's a good point. Yeah. So I came up with my two substitutes on there and I then also ordered, cause it's a pin, right? So off Amazon, I ordered

pin backings that are magnetic. And so I put it on the fridge. Yeah. That's genius. And then I ordered two of these pins. I could take one to work. So next time my coworkers stick me with the, like making the option of where we're going to eat on Friday, I just spin the wheel and I'm like, aha, this is what we're getting. Suck it. Yeah. That's really smart. man. All of our stuff is linked up and trending the same, even though it's so different. But yeah, cause I saw that.

Maybe just yesterday. And I was like, dang, we could have used that. We have one of those coins that has his name on one side, my name on the other side. Yeah. And I, so I bought that for one of our anniversaries because wood was the theme. So I was like, this is going to be our decision coin. And then whoever flips that is going to be who picks.

And nine times out of ten, we can't find the damn coin. So then Jeff's like, well, I'll just eat whatever.

Episode 24 (14:30.308)
Excuse me. I'll just eat whatever. So you can pick. So I always get stuck picking. Damn it. Or I'll just throw him the phone and run away. I like that method. That doesn't always work. But I have a better chance. I usually go with, hey, Cole. that s**t don't work for me. It's working for now. You're still in the honeymoon phase where that cute stuff still works. Honestly.

I'm past that. But that's also why I got the spinny wheel. Because I just am terrible at coming up with options or he'll be like, what are you craving? And I'm like, nothing. That's the problem. But my tummy has gone sour and I need food to me now. And then yeah, it goes south from there. Now, mind you, we have, like I said, been working on it. So like we go long lengths of time without ordering out or buying out whatever. And we just like...

food prep, our lunch and dinners here. But sometimes you just have an off day or shark week starts and you become the new alpha womb. And it's a lot of pressure. Or you just get a random ass craving out of nowhere. And it's one of those like insatiable cravings that you're like, listen, if we don't get this, someone will die. You know what mine was? What? So weird. Panda.

It's not that weird. Well, it's weird because literally... I guess I have this look. I have this look to me, right? When I'm thinking of something and I know immediately I can't have it. So I like kind of pop up like a meerkat. Because we were just kind of lounging on the couch and a pop up. And I'm looking at nothing but also thinking real hard. And then I stop and I like lay back down and he's like...

What? And I'm like, wait, he goes. What's going on up there? And I'm like, up where? In your in your noggin? Nothing. He goes, what do you want? And just like, I want to say, because it's going against what we're working for. And he goes, what does it rhyme with? And I was like. Amanda Press, Amanda Press. And he sees the wheels turning and wheels turning, he goes, Panda.

Episode 24 (16:53.924)
I was like, yeah. And he goes, you never want that. I was like, I want it now. He goes, okay. And he didn't do anything. And maybe 15, 20 ish minutes go by and suddenly hands me the phone. He goes, all right, order what you want. I was like, yeah. Wait, is this a trap? No. Okay, let's go. You're way better than me. I literally just pull up my phone, start looking at stuff and hand it to him.

Like if I want something, we're getting it. Like there's not even or like I'll get home from work. Yeah. I like Sparta kick the f***g door and be like, we're going to get this. But we used to only do so we I got bad when I was pregnant. Yeah, because it was like, I remember somebody will literally die. yeah. And then we also were bad after we had the baby because it's exhausting with a newborn. Yeah, I'm sure. So then we got back into where we were good.

And then it just was a Friday thing. Like Fridays were our cheat days. Spurge days. Yeah. But we go through waves where we do really good. Yeah. And then we're really bad, which is literally everybody. But it's so easy to get just totally, totally sucked in.

and spend a small fortune. And I don't know if y 'all have the dash pass, but we definitely have the dash pass. I think I do. And if I don't, it's because I just canceled it to get myself out of it. Yeah. But mine just ran out. Here's the thing though, like I've done really good at just, I've whittled it down to barely using it. At most I'll use it because I'm at work. Yeah.

and it was a bad week and I didn't get to like food prep and so I'm just like, SOL and like, I just got to figure this out. And I mean, at that point you got to eat. Yeah. And so then I just try to go for like the healthiest thing I can think of. Yeah. So it works out decently. But all's that to say as we round this right back around, I am still the ride or die. Thank you. We just don't.

Episode 24 (19:04.548)
work in the same office. yeah. No, I didn't mean that at all. You're definitely the ride or die. I love going on adventures, even if I can't partake. Now I'm like, I'll still go. Yeah. I'll just sit on the side. For sure. But see, I OK. You'll be so proud of me. I have not door dashed once at this office. I'm so proud. Yeah. So number one, it's a little bit sketch where I work.

I'm not always confident that the food would arrive. yeah. So yeah, that's just best not. You remember when we used to order at our last office and there was not one time that person like we worked in an office building. my God, he left on the first floor. Not just the first floor outside of the building. So like we worked in an office building and we worked on the third floor.

There were no locks or anything to get in. You could just walk right in. You could walk right to the elevator and take it right up. Super small building, by the way. Not a massive scary building that, God, I want to maneuver this. It was like six stories. Six stories max and pretty small for what an office building is. Yeah. And this person just went up to the outside of the office building in general, left it. But then - We couldn't find it. The funniest part was that -

They left it at the back of the building where there was no way for a car to really park up there and get it there. So they managed to walk all the way around the building, past the actual entrance, and then go to the entrance that nobody uses because it's not possible to use, and then left it there. And I remember I was just like, I feel like that took more effort. OK. And then that one person that left it underneath the TV across from the elevators.

Remember they put on that table? Yeah. At least that one made it in. Yeah, that's true. And you remember that one lady that kept calling me and said that she couldn't figure out and find the building? That's right. Pregnant, mind you. I was very pregnant at that point. I had to go downstairs to find this lady to wave her down. And this b*** was in her minivan sitting out in the parking lot, too lazy to get out of her car.

Episode 24 (21:28.132)
to come into the building. So I waddled my big ass over to her and then she was all chatty and chit chatty like, lady, I am two seconds away from murdering you because I'm hangry as all get out. And I had to waddle all the way down here to get this food from you. Don't pull that s**t. Don't start that s**t here. Stories.

So many. So many stores. I have to flag people down in my neighborhood a lot. It's a cul -de -sac, but like they're town homes. And my house number, I need to like just repaint it. It's the OG house number and it's like gold on gold pretty much. And so it's kind of hard to see and it's not super obvious. And whoever lived here before me just never wanted to have house numbers painted on the curb, I guess. yeah. So it's just really hard to tell. And so I...

I definitely always have the expectancy that they're going to miss it and nine out of 10 times they do. And I'm not even mad. I'm just like, you know what? It's not on you. It's on the fact that I can't get this house to freaking have a number. And so I try my best to like give signifiers of like, Hey, it's literally like the first one of whatever and this car is outside and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But sometimes either people don't have time to read the description. I don't know. I know.

I don't really know anyone's reasoning for what, but they just usually like circle around and then they leave or they get close to leaving. So I've gotten used to just, I put my shoes on, I turn the lights on just in case. Some people do make it and then I just assume that they won't. So I'll just meet them out. And I've had to flag people down before they try to drop it off at the wrong house. I'm like, no, no, no, I'm over here. I'm over here. That's the worst when they drop it off at the wrong house.

I had to at one point say I was next door to another house number just to try to make it more simple because their house number is really big and obvious. okay. And so I thought that would help. But one guy was like, yeah, you said you're at this one. I'm like, no, I said next door. I said next door. People don't read. And he's like, no, you said this one. No, you just saw the number. It's okay. I just want my food, please. And not even mad. Just like, please, I didn't want my food. I have the number.

Episode 24 (23:45.156)
decals somewhere in my house if you want to paint your curb. I might need that. Yeah. Because I thought a guy would come by by now to offer that because I've seen almost everybody in my neighborhood and the neighborhood next to us. It seems like they have a fresh -ish one. Like it's been done maybe in the past two years. Okay. And all of them are like their college base. So whatever college they all like align with, whatever team. So I just kind of, when I moved in, I was like,

Okay, this guy might come back soon and put some flyers in and be like, hey, who wants the curve painted, especially my house, like drop one in. Yeah. You know, I don't even have a number. Yeah, for sure. No, really. There's been nobody. So I think it's going to come down to just us doing it. It's not that big of a deal. I mean, it's easy breezy. Yeah. Not it might not be as cool as all the other college ones that everybody else got. I can get artsy.

This is very true. I was just trying to say if you don't want to do that, it's not necessary. Yeah. Dang, this cough, man. I know. I'm sorry. No, it's okay. You got that? I'm sorry. You got that Michigan cough? Dang, like I don't know what's going on. I'm taking allergy medicine. It's just lingering. Yeah. But you know, sometimes coughs do that. They're so annoying like that.

my abdomen hurts. Let's just be glad we're past COVID. my goodness gracious. When you couldn't even cough without like feeling like social pariah because you're just like, God, people think I'm dying now. And like everyone was frightened of you. Like I think we're all finally wearing down from that fear of hearing a cough and everyone's just like, what? Like trembling and fear of what's going to happen. Now it's just like, they got a cough.

I will say my boss, he called, what day was it? He was traveling this week. He was in New York and I think it was either Tuesday or Wednesday, he called and I answered the phone and I sound a little nasally, but I sounded more nasally and he's like, what's wrong? And I was like, I just caught something like while I was on my vacation. He's like, what's wrong? What are you taking? And I was like, I'm not taking anything. He's like, you're not taking anything? I was like, no, I'm just pushing through. Like it's okay. It's just a cough.

Episode 24 (26:05.412)
and a little tickle in my throat. He's like, you're not taking anything? And I was like, no, I'm not taking anything. And he's like, you need to take tea. You need hot tea with honey and lemon. I know we have tea in the office. I think we have honey, but I don't think that we have any lemon. And I was like, it's okay. I'm just going to push through. I said, I did have tea and honey last night. Like I'm going to be okay. Are you going to be okay though? And I was like, yes, I will be okay. I don't need to go home. Like everything is fine.

Yesterday he came in the office and I was meeting with him in the conference room. He walks in, stops, like dead mid step freezes and was like, are you okay? And I was like, yes, I'm okay. And he's like, can I be by you? my god, can I be by you? Are you patient zero? Right? I was like, yeah, it's just, it's allergies. Like something's going on. Like I'm okay. Like nobody that has been around me has gotten anything. He's like, so it's not a cold.

I was like, I don't know what it is. I said, I'm sorry, I don't have a mask. So I don't have anything to like wear around you. And he hesitated to come sit in the conference room. And he's like, I'm not going to sit next to you. And I was like, that's fine. Like I'll pass these papers across the table to you. And he just looked at me with this super judgy like, I don't know if I can touch those papers. He's like, don't get me sick. Don't you give me anything. And I was like, I'm I'm I swear. As if it's my choice. Yeah.

Like I'm here. I'm working. Yeah, like he was so Concerned that like if I was okay or not, which was very refreshing Because the other company like I would be coughing and hacking and they did not give to s**t No one would look over this company Everybody has been like hey, are you okay? Do you need some tea? Do you need a cough drop? I'm just like just pushing through So that is refreshing

Our mutual friend, I remember any time I would cough, she would be like, yeah, we can all blame Priscilla when we get sick. Like you jerk. No, it's not me. I'm not the reason if somebody gets sick. I hated that because like you feel like you can't you can do anything during COVID. It made me laugh. So like she would do it all the time, too.

Episode 24 (28:27.332)
And I think one time I did, I really did get sick, but I think I got sick after her and it wasn't back to back. I was like, no, no, no, wait, wait. You were sick first. Yeah. You were sick first. You did this. I was like, you did this to me. She's like, I don't recall that. I'm like, damn it. I need proof. Yeah. Everybody's got point fingers. I mean, you got it. OK, I'm going to move us along.

Let's do it. And I'm going to show you my product. Are you ready? You're not ready. It's fine. Get ready. What in the?

Episode 24 (29:06.276)
That looks looks weird, I know. Okay, what I brought Loren Whaaaat? What I brought Loren is called the Polaroid Originals Lab Digital to Analog Polaroid Photo Printer. This is so f***g cool Yeah, so it's... It looks weird. What? Yeah, okay, it looks weird. It looks like half of a Polaroid camera, like old fashioned, but it looks like you put it on its back.

And then the lens, they kind of like inverted it, stretched it out like to the sky. And then you put your phone screen down on top of it. So essentially what it's doing is it's taking a photo of your screen of whatever like photograph you have on your phone, right? This is blowing my mind. It takes a photo, puts it into Polaroid form. This is so cool. And prints it out so that it looks more vintage -y. That you bought this, right? No.

Damn it. I haven't bought it because I know Cole's going to be like, girl, I know we got you a photo printer from Polaroid and we did and it's OK. It's not great. It's OK. I'm a little disappointed with some of the quality, but this I kind of was digging. It's vintage. I love that all the photos come out in its Polaroid form in a very vintage form.

So it's not being printed with it's like high quality, like, okay, just another edited photo. Can you go back up one? That's so f***g cool. I thought it was really cool. It looks overly complicated, but I don't think it is. No, I think that you can make it very... This is so cool, Priscilla. Dude, it's got like 4 .4 stars, which is pretty impressive. That's very impressive. Over 2000 ratings. So like people like this thing.

I want this. Right. I really like it. Now, my one worry and this, I might get into the ratings a little bit to see if anyone covers this. Yeah. My one worry would be, how does it not catch a glare from your phone, especially if maybe you have a screen protector or something. Like, because it's taking a photo image, but then at the same time, there's no flash. There's nothing to really... And it's just scanning? I don't know if it's really scanning as much as like...

Episode 24 (31:32.74)
Okay, think of a Polaroid. A Polaroid essentially is just like the flash of the image gets like practically burned down because of the light. So I guess that's what it does here where it just like unveils the Polaroid for a hot sack to your screen and then boom, there's the image. This is so cool. Like this is blowing my mind right now. Right.

I found it by accident because I was looking with a coworker for my Instax Polaroid camera. I have a different one than the typical round bubbly one. Mine's a terracotta color and it's very square and very artsy looking. And I love it. I love that thing to death. And it prints in square. But I was looking to show her and then this came up and I was like...

What is that? I would be concerned if you did not perfectly place your phone with on that area. Yeah. How the picture would come out. I guess the picture, like for all you know, is just a little crooked, but like. Which I mean, that's not the end of the world at all. Yeah. And it looks like it does have like points to align your phone. Yeah. But that all being said is.

There's different phones that come in different sizes. Okay. Are you ready to go in silent mode and watch some video? Yes. Cool.

I'm going to do a quick review on this Polaroid Lab. First off, it's very good quality. It takes very high quality pictures. I have one in black and white and a color for you. You can mess with the exposure to make it brighter or darker. This one did have a smudge. That's because I didn't know that you're supposed to clean the rollers after every couple packs or so. It's very easy to do that. It's very quick. It tells you exactly how to do that in the user manual. You will need an app to use this. You turn it on and you can see it.

Episode 24 (33:35.364)
opened up. It'll tell you how many film you have left right there and you get the app. You choose what type of film you have. You won't want a case on this or any special like screen protectors that might mess up the lighting. So I go ahead and put that on there. It'll stop blinking and you can hear it makes the noise when you are ready to push the button. So I will push that so it's blinking.

This is the film part that comes out, this little roller. You're gonna wanna try to not touch that. This is what you're gonna have to clean every so often. And you just flip that up and you will wanna shield this from light. Again, I didn't clean my roller, so that is why that's happening. But you'll wanna shield that from light for a few minutes and it takes about 10 to 15 minutes depending on if it's black and white or just regular film. So.

I would definitely recommend this and I would give it a 5 out of 5.

Episode 24 (34:38.692)
So that was great, that was informative. And I like that she answered my questions. Yeah, she really, truly answered literally everything that you asked. Yeah. So I don't know, like it looks really cool. I love the concept. I do too. I love that. I forgot that like Polaroid makes...

Polaroids that will be black and white or colors. So that's how she got hers to come out differently. Yeah. I don't know. Like I just seems like a really good idea. How many sheets are in the print? I mean the like a box. Yeah, I don't know. See that looks good.

Yeah, like we're looking at some photos that people posted as proof. That looks less than desirable. I mean... But it could just be the lighting. I think it's the lighting because it's very... The table's yellow. So like that would need to be set to white. Exposure, color, like you can change that in the app. That's pretty cool. Everything looks so vintage -y. It's so cute. I'm glad that Polaroids are coming back because they were so much fun.

Me too. Also, low key, I feel like people are realizing it's the OG filter because we all just wanted fricking 4K. What happened? You can see every damn wrinkle. Every single wrinkle, every single zit. Even some that you would not even see yourself in person because your eyes are just kind of glazing over someone's features because there's a lot to look at.

You freaking take a photo sometimes it's like, come on. Yeah. Come on. I just looked in the mirror. That wasn't there. Yeah. What? Yeah. It's ridiculous.

Episode 24 (36:34.148)
I love this. wow. She made a dress out of him. Wow. This person made a whole dress out of her Polaroids. That is... She's working it. Artistic as all hell. I love it. Good for you, sister. Get it. Good for her. Damn.

This is so cool. It's so, so cool. I like that it does tell you how many more pictures that you have in the real. I would just be curious. That says eight. Well, I see eight dots and didn't they say that this is where it told you how many you had left? Yeah, but I just I wasn't sure how it did it. But that would make a lot of sense. That'd be really smart if that's how they did it. Yeah. Eight doesn't seem like a lot. I'm not gonna lie to you. It doesn't. I have a mini Polaroid camera.

to print off little minis. And that one, I think, only holds eight. And I thought that was just because of its size. Okay. So maybe this is just a standard because my instax, I think, holds like 16 or more. wow. So I'm used to like that amount. Okay. But I mean, it makes sense that it's not a lot. And I mean, she said that it needs to be cleaned as well. So yeah, there's probably...

Dang, look at that. Everyone's just like making such classic memories with it. I love it. I feel like because we've all kind of like phased out of printing photos, this has brought back the reasoning to do so. Yeah, because nobody really prints photos anymore, like at all. And if you do, you get the big canvas ones. I'm guilty of it. We really don't have any pictures just...

anywhere in our house. Like there's one printed picture from our wedding and then there's canvas. Like I got the big canvas. That's literally all that I can think of. There's one from when we got engaged. There's one from when we got married. There's one from our first blue bonnet pictures. And then there's one from our maternity photos.

Episode 24 (38:51.3)
Those are all in those big canvas. They're like 16 by 20. And then I got four, five more canvases once we got our family photos done. And then the photographer threw in a free print. Yeah. So in my house currently off the top of my head, I have two giant, not giant, two larger pictures printed, but that's it. So.

One thing I'm noticing, I'm seeing a lot of people are really happy with this. And the reviews that aren't so happy, I think I'm seeing a lot of like, they're not happy with the quality because they're not understanding what a Polaroid really is. Because a Polaroid does not have a lot of detail to it. Yeah. That's not what they do. No, that's not what it's for. No. So I think that's what I'm seeing some of the bad reviews about. I mean, what do you expect?

Yeah, I don't know. Like, I don't know. I mean, that's the thing. Like, you're not supposed to get a lot of qualities, just more of the overall picture and the graininess and the colors that come through. But like, these all look good to me. Yeah, same. Dang, that girl that made that dress. I know. She's f***g working it. I know.

Yeah. I don't know. I think it's a win. It's like what? $130? I think $120. I think it's on sale right now. Yeah, $120. You're right. Yep. $120. But you're right. It's normally $130. And like, I guess you can buy it like a full pack? Okay. Yeah. You buy a full pack and it'll come with like the color and the black and white Polaroids. You're right. It says eight.

Yeah. So you get this whole printer thing and two boxes of the Polaroids, one with color film and one with black and white. That's it. Yeah. For one sixty four. Wow. Those are pretty expensive. Yeah. That's the bummer. Like, I mean, they.

Episode 24 (41:00.964)
all of that kind of paper is expensive. Yes. Print or photo paper is always going to be expensive. Yeah. And then this is exposure type. So yeah, you're not going to get it that cheap unless you find a good knockoff on Tmoo. Yeah. Let's not do that. Let's not break this $120 machine that we just bought to take awesome photos and print them. Exactly. So I think this is awesome. I think this is so cool.

This I was not expecting. I mean, you always catch me off guard. I've never expected anything that you show me. But this is super f***g cool. It takes me back. It's nostalgic. It is just it's so unique. It's so cool that you can use it with your smartphone. It looks so funny. It looks like something that like is used in a lab. Yeah, like it looks so technical. It does. And that's what caught me off guard when I first saw it was like.

What does that do? I'm so confused. I'm like, what am I looking at? And then like, then I kind of laughed a little bit when I saw that, like you put a phone on top. Yeah. Cause I was like, okay, that's kind of dumb. But then the more I thought about it, I'm like, okay, but if it's printing off your photo looking like a legit Polaroid, then it's worth it. Cause yeah, I mean, at work we were talking about it and we're like, well then why not just have a photo printer? That's different. It's not the same.

Exactly. I thought it was going to be the same. I thought the whole point was, it takes a photo of your photo and then it prints it out in the same quality. And I was like, that's dumb. But no, this is this is very different. Yeah, I love Polaroid. Mm hmm. All right. I'll let us move on to your next one. Wait, yeah, no, you're right. Also, you're not ready for this. I'm not. No, dog. What the hell?

yeah. Ghostbusters just mix themselves with the nerve or something. I mean, they f***g might as well. OK, explain. So this is the Moab, the mother of all blasters. It is a f***g nerf gun that has the backpack on your back and is a freaking rapid fire.

Episode 24 (43:22.22)
of darts, Priscilla. This thing is cool as f***g s**t Go to the next one, I got a video for you. It's loud. So just a heads up. There you go. Fucking send it, girl. All right.

Episode 24 (43:55.716)
So that's what the backpack does. It's literally a case. Yep. So what is... So it's a machine gun. It's essentially a Nerf machine gun. But like, I guess I'm a little lost. Like, so what's this slinky like thing doing connected from the backpack to the gun? Is that where the slinkiness of the inside of the backpack was going and feeding through? Yes. So all of the Nerf... Hold on. Okay.

all of the darts have to go within a case. So all, this is my dart, this is my case, this is looking terrible. This is why we can't post video yet. Exactly why we can't post video. And then all of the cases, there's multiple attached. So all of the cases are attached. Every single case has a dart individually in it. For it to go this rapid fire, you have to have the case.

to the shoot out all the darts and not get a jam. Well, I mean, it's still get get f***g f***g but it is literally like, I don't know how else to. No, I mean, I'm getting I'm getting it. OK. I'm also seeing that it's 3D printed almost entirely. Yes. What? Right. Is that not so f***g cool they have colors. And then then can get it in colors so you can get it customized to how you like it.

And for those of you that play Nerf Gun and you go to war with your significant other or your family or whatever it may be, you can get this f***g thing and roll in and destroy your whole entire family with your Nerf Gun war with your freaking Moab. I'm sorry. They have transparent and I love that. Right. Especially as a 3D print. I like at the end of this whole website, just as a big letters.

Make it rain. Yeah. Like I, Jeff and I go and get in Nerf gun fights all the time and Reeves is about it. He like screams and then he grabs darts and then he runs in between the two of us and like he thinks is the greatest thing ever. But I saw.

Episode 24 (46:07.876)
I don't remember if I saw this on Instagram or if I saw a TikTok of the guy that 3D printed them and he took a video of it and I was like, this is the most amazing thing that I have ever heard or ever seen in my entire life. It's literally a Moab for f***g Nerf gun. Can you imagine how to clean these darts up? yeah, that's why you have a toddler with his Plato vacuum. Yeah, don't f***g...

Don't ruin my Nerf darts. Well, I'm just saying you could send the Play -Doh vacuum to this dude and be like, hey, here's a concept idea for a dart picker -upper. That's a good point. Yeah. But you can fire eight to 50 darts per second. my gosh. You can do six shot bursts. You can do shi -

a 12 shot burst or you can do full auto and just f***g sell it. An ammo counter. That's fancy. I think it said 500 darts. Yeah, the belt is 500 darts. Wow. Can you imagine? my God. I'm sorry. Can you imagine affording this? Have you seen the price? Yeah, I know that is the one big downfall, but it's 3D printed. The whole entire thing is 3D printed is a backpack that goes on your back. That is literally a moat.

Nerf gun. But you haven't you won't say the price out loud. Okay. So listeners, you can you can purchase this Moab for the low, low price of $4 ,600. Doll hairs or dollars? Doll hairs.

but I'm sure he would prefer dollars. It hurts, Loren. It hurts. It hurts. It hurts so bad. But also, did you see the video? I did. It was amazing. I just I can afford the Moab mug. Yeah, I love how they also made a mug for $14. Yeah. I just. If I yeah. Wow. This is like lottery money, like the lottery money.

Episode 24 (48:24.868)
You get a Moab and you get a Moab and you get a Moab. I'm just going to show if I win the lottery, I'm just going to show up at your house and just f***g shoot you. Like knock on the door. Rude. OK. Can you throw money at me while you're at it, though? No, I will text you and we'll have Cole answer the door. OK, I'll shoot him. But here's the thing. If I'm getting shot at, I also want money thrown at me. OK?

I'll give you five bucks on a high five after I make it ten. All right. OK. I'll throw ten dollars on you if you play dead. I can play dead. If you play really good dead, I'll give you 20 bucks. I'll make it dramatic. Yeah. Ketchup and everything. that'd be so awesome. Ketchup squirting everywhere. I'll get that theater blood that comes out of your mouth. yeah. Yeah. But if I win the one if I won the lottery, I would literally buy so many of this.

Like just this is the coolest s**t ever. I got so excited and like I started looking for this guy and searching for him. And I was like, I f***g want one of these. And then I was like, OK, Father's Day. And then I saw the price and was like, never mind. No. But like, it's high quality. This guy knows what he's doing. I don't know how many he's made. I don't know how many he's sold, but he is going over and above.

I'm seeing it says on his, it says Moab, two out of a hundred. So something tells me he made a hundred. I mean, that would make sense that he's made a hundred. If you go down further, does any... no, that's just his colors. Yeah. And that's it. There's not a whole lot of info, which I mean, this is a product that you, the video really said it all for this product.

I would be curious to know how many people. Yes, this is the reaction I needed for so dang it, I should have just gone here to look at it. Yeah, amazing. Yeah, I went to like the like home page home page and like the first thing you see is a close up of the darts being thrown. my gosh, Loren. Yes. How do you get all the darts back in their casings? You have to just put them all in there. I think it's like a.

Episode 24 (50:55.652)
This is a one -time use. I think it's like three.

Okay, so first time we actually see one in a different color combo. Yeah. Green is pretty tight. It kind of looks like John Deere. It does! Yeah, because he took green and yellow. 430 darts in 8 .9 seconds. Okay, 8 .9 seconds, but it's going to take you an hour to load all of those darts back up into their little shell casings. It looks like it's like a two piece.

Shell casing if you go up from the pieces that are falling. Yeah, it does look like that which painful that's a lot That's a lot. So that's why you got kids who go old enough to pull them up and think it's a yeah It's a project like almost like Legos like yeah. All right, we put this together now I think the pieces there's one piece that seems a little bit smaller, but I think Reeves would understand like hey, yeah, I don't put this in my mouth. I

I hope. But OK, I mean, it's expensive. It is definitely not something that is attainable in my current state. But it's European. Look at the outlets here. OK, so now we're watching him take the shells and link them back together and then load them back up with the darts.

Yes, that part's time consuming, but yeah, it's definitely two pieces. It's a tube and then... It seems like once you link it back up, it's not super fragile. He linked it up on the floor quickly -ish and then just quickly loaded it back into his backpack. I bet you that easily would take an hour. He needs to come up with a basket that attaches to the bottom.

Episode 24 (52:55.844)
to then catch everything. Yeah. Yeah, that'd be super smart. Because imagine if you do this like outside. Dude, we should message him and be like, hey, if you give us a thousand dollars off. That's it. If you give us a free one, we will give you the key to a mess free time. I'll give him 50 % off. It's still his product and he's got to make a profit on it. 50 % fine. But then we got to get a cut of what he makes. That's true. Give us 50 % off.

And then we will get this part and we'll get everything patented. We got you, bro. We got you. Yeah. I just need a little bit out of it. That's all. He is really smart with how he did all these pieces that link back together. Yeah, he thought it through. The like I said, the only bummer is having the teeny pieces get everywhere. Yeah. And so like if you're outside, because, OK, in a perfect world where this is actually like obtainable by everybody. Yeah.

You get a bunch of these, you get the fam together and you're like, all right, this is no mom is going to let this go down in her house. No, no. So you get it outside. Yeah. And then you go, all right, y 'all, this is the purge nerf style. Yep. take out your aggressions now. Yes. But then they're all outside. Yeah. And then you're going to lose a lot of stuff. There's a lot of pieces and then it's going to get dirty. And this thing is so expensive. Like you don't want to lose any of these pieces because who knows what kind of deal.

He has to replenish some of these casings. It'd be cool if he had like a kind of like a Lego system of like, yeah, first round's free. But then after that, like, you know, for this much, I can send you this many. And, you know, just because he's not even showing any extra pieces at all. It's literally the whole kit and caboodle or a mug. Those are the two items that you can purchase. Yeah. So cut and dry. I love it.

I wish it was affordable. I do too. But at the same time, I'm not against someone putting a price on their artwork. And I call this art work. Exactly. And who knows how much it costs to print 3D print all that. It's huge. How much time it's going to take to 3D print all that. I mean, it's motorized. So it's like just that component. There's electronics in there because he's got some, it keeps count of all.

Episode 24 (55:15.396)
of everything. I'm also curious if he provides you your first full round of darts. That's a good question because they'd have to fit perfectly. Because I mean, I'm trying to think one year for Christmas, our cat's an asshole, but I was like, we can't not get him anything for Christmas. So we got him Nerf darts because the cat loves Nerf darts. Like we'll get into a Nerf dart fight. Yeah.

And Chester will just run around the house grabbing the darts. So that was his Christmas gift. Remember how you were asking how many maybe he's made? Yeah. I'm seeing right here it says, but be fast. This Moab is limited to 100 blasters. wow. So he is really just making 100. Mm -hmm. I mean, okay. 4 ,600 times 100. Yeah, I can see why. I can see why. Well, good on him.

Good for you, guy. Good for you, random European man. Yeah, good for you. So fancy. Every time I scroll up, it shows us something slightly new. Right? So cool. I want this so bad. One day, Loren, one day. That wasn't planned. man. OK, should I move us on to my product? Yeah. OK.

Get ready, Loren, as we go back down memory lane. Shut the front door, Priscilla. Yeah. my goodness. I feel like I'm getting better at this, of just finding niche. Jeff and I literally just looked at something the other day and I was like, hey, we had one of those TVs growing up. Yeah. And this exact like type of thing. So I brought to Loren.

I recently came across some ad for Urban Outfitters. That's wild. And I was kind of laughing because... So wild. I noticed that they were talking about Discman's and Walkman's. And for those of you who don't know, a Discman was a portable version of listening to a CD. Yep. Mind you, you had to get one to then realize that you needed a non -skip version because there were versions that would...

Episode 24 (57:38.116)
Skip because it's rotating your CD, but with the momentum of movement. Yeah, it would throw it off because you instead of it being flat You'd be at a 90 degree. Yeah, and it doesn't like that. No, so you would walk run whatever Sightest movement would make it skip. Yep, and then that sucks. Like you're just you're off now Even if you had it flat it would still yeah, and so then you would get a non skip version and whatever

and they usually had headphones that came with them and they were pretty big, but they were cool. Not that big. Not like this big. No, they were the foam. Yes. The black foam. Little foam ones. Panasonic? That sounds familiar. Yeah. Yeah. So there was that. And then there was Walkmans that were predecessors and those were for cassettes. Yeah. So, you know, I don't know about you.

I grew up definitely with the Discman's. Never really had a Walkman near me unless maybe my dad kept one and showed me it one time. Definitely my mom had a Walkman. I played with it because I did have, I had tapes, I had cassettes. Love it. And then I upgraded and I had the Discman. And do you know that those are now in museums? Do you know that now Urban Outfitters sells them? No.

only because you told me. So that's how we're getting here, Loren. That's how we're getting here. So I'm seeing an ad from Urban Outfitters and they're showing these and I'm like, I'm sorry, was that a Discman for $150? What? Yes. Yes. So I'm just mind blown. I'm like, okay, gross. No, I'll just go find my old Hello Kitty one. Thank you. And as I'm like kind of laughing along and looking, I spot something.

Yeah. And I spotted a little white TV with a freaking VHS tape player embedded in it. This, my friends, I know Loren and I grew up with. Yeah. Yeah. Everyone at some point either knew somebody or had this themselves, a small little TV with an attached VHS tape.

Episode 24 (01:00:03.556)
player and or a DVD player once you like really got up there. Yeah, once you got to that point. We didn't get to that point. We always had the VHS. I got to a point of a DVD player, but that was so cool. Well, no, because by the time I got that, I think like other people were getting like their plasmas and I was like, I got a DVD player. But that's OK. No, I was cool because I had that in my room. So I felt you had it in your room. Yeah, I know.

TV or nothing in my room? Well, girl, I don't know the reasoning. I just know that I was a good kid who read myself to sleep and then my parents got me a TV and that went out the window. And then I would watch the George Lopez at night instead. That's how I went to bed. That's awesome. And one day I was like, our kid watches George Lopez. Like what? Don't.

Judge Dad. But I was so big on Nick at Night watching George Lopez. Yeah, he was big. That was my jam. So, yeah, so this little white TV is interesting. OK. So, yeah, this white TV is one thing. This is one thing, right? It's called the Dead Stock Zenith White CRT TV and VCR television. It says it's sold out. There's absolutely no reviews.

It's no longer available to people who are in it. It's all nostalgia to the brim. It's so nostalgic. My parents had a black one in our camper and we watched this campaign. And I was going to say, I'm sure everyone had a black one. Never really saw anyone with a white one to say. Yeah, I don't know if I knew the white one existed. If it did at all. Yeah, exactly. I mean, I had a small TV that was pink because it's Hello Kitty themed.

But that was a whole different story. So this is one thing. The OG OG thing that I saw though was this $349 white TV with no VHS player, no DVD player, and mind you, no converter connections. We're talking, it's so freaking OG, school, school, OG, old.

Episode 24 (01:02:23.14)
school that it even comes with an antenna to plug in. I love it. And I love it so much, but also hate knowing that, damn it, I need to go find a freaking DVD player to plug into this again. I can hear it now. Yeah. Yeah. Because y 'all, this isn't going to have a HDMI port or USB port to plug anything in. Like you can go find your old NES system and plug it in though. That'll still work. Cause it had the...

What was it? The red, the black and the yellow? The three bronze? Red, white and yellow. was it? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So this is $349. It's called the Vintage Broccasonic by Otick. I need to stop trying to pronounce things. No, you're doing a great job. CTGV and I'm not going to say the rest of that. White TV. This is so funny.

It's amazing. The fact that it's three hundred forty nine dollars, you know, this s**t was like 20 bucks back in the day. Yeah. Yeah. Or the equivalents of whatever that was. Yeah. One size. No s**t. But like, it's incredible that Urban Outfitters is just becoming this relic store. Dude, everything from the 90s is coming back, man. But like not everything should. Yeah. Listen, as much as I love seeing this, love it.

If I had the type of office where I could have all these like great like little artifacts, this would totally be one of them. 100%. Would I also attach like an old school VHS tape and CD player to it? Yes. And I would have old school movies playing at all times. But I don't have that. I don't got that money. So I will not be buying this. Do you know, like obviously I...

Spilled beans that my family saw as VHS is but does your family saw VHS is I don't know I actually I can't imagine my mom giving away all of them. -huh The only one I can ultimately remember always seeing was a Titanic. yeah, because it was in two Yep, and they were double -sized you had to flip them. Yeah, and they came in it's like a big box

Episode 24 (01:04:44.036)
With Jack's face all big on one side and you're like, my god. Yes. god. You kids don't even know. That was like the longest movie ever. So freaking long. So long. Just felt endless because your mom kept flipping the tape. The first time I ever watched it was with my mom's cousin. She only came to visit every so often. So we were at my grandma's house and we were in the basement.

And she was like, do you want to watch this movie with me? And I was like, OK, we're having like a pamper me day. I was not that old. I was definitely not old enough to be watching the Titanic. That's OK. I'm sure you had no idea what the heck a hand hitting the inside of a foggy car meant. Yeah, no, I had no idea. She covered my eyes and I was just like, what's happening? OK, I don't know what's happening. But yeah, she had to keep flipping the VHS.

That s**t was wild. It was a workout back then to watch a movie. It was. There was no, I'm just going to plop here and I'm going to binge. No, you had to work for it. And then did your parents have the machine to rewind it? I don't think so. Well, I thought it did that anyways. So the earlier ones, they only went forward. So if you took it out, you had the machine that had to rewind it. So if they did...

probably like if I don't think so. I think knowing my dad, he would have just. Your dad seems pretty techie. Like he would have probably had the best of the best of the best as soon as it came out. Yes and no, because like there wasn't always money for that. That was later down the road. Yeah. So but knowing my dad and knowing myself, we would be innovative and be like, I don't need that. I can do it myself. yeah. So so I'm sure I'm sure they found a way. But I.

was around the time that they just did it themselves. And then of course you had a blockbuster who would do it for you. man, blockbusters. Be kind and rewind. I love blockbuster. Those are the best times. They really were. Like I remember my dad taking us to blockbuster and picking out movies to watch for the weekend. And like our blockbuster was in the strip mall that had a McDonald's at the end. So usually we would

Episode 24 (01:07:05.06)
Go in a Blockbuster, pick a couple movies, get a couple pieces of candy, swing on by the McDonald's, get us our food, and then go home and watch movies. So if you think about it, growing up, you feel like, he's doing this for us and blah, blah. But then once you get older, you're like, no, that was for them. That was totally for them. Because if we still have Blockbuster now, that to me would be the epitome of a d***.

freaking Friday date night. Like, all right, babe, it's Friday. Let's get ourselves together. Let's hit a blockbuster and like, let's get this party going. yeah. Like I still remember Friday nights in high school. And I mean, sure, I know I was, I wasn't as cool as Cole in high school. And I knew that. But he would go on about like, yeah, we all used to hang out in this parking lot. And I was like,

Yeah, my best friend and I totally weren't just hitting up Blockbuster every Friday and getting our movies and going back to one of our houses and just like putting on face masks and eating junk food and just watching movies together. Yeah. No, we were totally at parties that we weren't invited to. Tote. But you know, that's the truest introvert in me. Like I was very happy doing that. I don't regret that one bit. But.

That's the best memories. I have this one memory where my best friend and I, it was right after my 16th birthday dinner. We did this whole mini sweet 16, as in it wasn't a full sweet 16 at all. It was a dinner, I got to get a pretty dress to wear. And after the night was done, my best friend was supposed to spend the night with me.

So my mom took us to Blockbuster and we are like literally gallivanting through Blockbuster, skipping around just like, and I want this and I want this and I want this. And I was like, my God. I remember when they first started getting the popcorn buckets. Yeah. At our Blockbuster, I thought that was the coolest s**t. no, I thought the coolest s**t was when I realized that...

Episode 24 (01:09:22.724)
you could rent games at Blockbuster. We didn't really play a lot of games. So my dad at one point got the OG Xbox. okay. And like for the longest time there were just only games for him because I didn't really have an interest yet. Yeah. But you know, you wanted me to get into it and we realized Blockbuster has games to rent and then there grew my love.

for the Spongebob games and the Scooby Doo games. man, Scooby Doo. Scooby Doo, yeah. And like a couple other games that I don't think I can name off the top of my head right now, I just can picture them. But yeah, like that is when I hit peak where I was like, I can get a movie and a game? What? Yeah. Like, day made, let's go. Say no more. So, I'm in. If I wasn't already an introvert, I became more of one.

I mean, hey, I did my due diligence. I went to school. Yeah, you made up for it in college. And I did competitive cheer. Yeah. And then I went and cheered in high school. Yeah. I was social as I needed to be. Exactly. And then I wanted to go be an introvert on the weekends. Yeah, and there's nothing wrong with that. No. Live your life. I lived my life. I'm still living my life. You are. I'm crocheting now. Yeah. Now we're just 70.

An 80 year old woman and man stuck in 30 year old bodies. I just say the woman and man because you're an old man. Yes, because I'm an old man. You're an old grandpa. I am a thousand percent an old man. We are just the cutest old people. We are the cutest old couple. my God. Yep. Your husband and my boyfriend should be so jealous. They should. Suck it. I was going to say our husbands. I'm not there yet. You'll get there.

I think it's only two years and then your common law. We already hit two years. Of living together? I think it's living together and you have to have a shared bank account. We don't have that yet. We will at some point. It might just be living together for two years.

Episode 24 (01:11:31.748)
the state of Texas, it might be just that at the very bare minimum. I mean, we are splitting the mortgage. So I think it's if you pay bills together. That helps. We split everything. I know if you have a shared bank account, like that definitely helps. I know after the first two years, Jeff and I were definitely a common law. OK, I was going to say, I think I don't know about you and Jeff. I've only known one person that like joined their accounts before marriage.

we did. Nice. Well, and it made sense. Okay, so here's the thing. For y 'all, I could definitely see that because you moved from Michigan. Like, y 'all had already been dating before that for a while. So you moving out from Michigan was like, the clock is ticking. It's any time now. It's going to happen. We just don't know when. And this is just the path we're on. For my friend, we were in college and her and her boyfriend had moved in together.

and everything was kind of moving a little fast for them, but like they were on board. So I was like, I'm not going to fight if you're fine. And next thing I knew, she was like, yeah, we have joined the counts now. I'm like, whoa. Wow. Whoa. Okay. And I mean, it worked out. They're a family now. They have two kids and like they've been together forever now. But like,

That scared me for like a second. It is, especially when it's something new and you're not with that person for very long. But we had been together a long time before I moved out here. So it made sense. It was pretty safe to say that it was going there. Yeah. And I've later found out that Jeff had told my dad, like, hey, I know I'm taking her cross country, but I do plan on marrying her. Like, it's not just to waste time. Yeah.

hit it and quit it. This is for real. This is lifelong. He wasn't going to be one of those guys that we hear stories about of like, and it's not just guys. I'm definitely not. Girls do too. Yes, but not one of those partners. I'll correct myself there. Not one of those partners that makes this big step and then thinks that's enough and that's it. No. Sometimes you have a partner that expects the finish line.

Episode 24 (01:13:44.836)
It was good that he clarified that. I've had friends who they never joined their accounts. They got married, never joined them, never planned to. I don't know. I've talked to Cole about it and how I see it going and joining it. I know that's just the way I've always seen it and I think that's easier. My picture of the perfect way for it to go is where you join, but you both also still have...

separate savings. And that's like your fun money, your whatever money. You have a joint account, a joint savings account, and that's like your rainy day, like, you know, stuff needs to be saved up anyways for like vacations and emergencies, all that stuff. And then you each have your own mini savings account for like your fun money and whatnot. I will say, if you don't put your other person on there, your significant other, have somebody else.

at the very minimum be on that account. Because if something happens to you then... They can't get to it? Yeah, nothing will happen to that. That money will just sit there. And that's the thing, I think I would just put him on it anyways, but it would be one of those like, okay, so whatever's in this account for me and whatever's in that account for you, that's our fun money account. yeah, for sure. Because we do the same thing. I have a separate account, but he's on it in case something ever happened. And that makes sense. Yeah.

totally makes sense. I will say we opened up an account for Reeves, but they won't put me on it. They'll only allow like one parent on it. That's odd. And I'm just like, you would think you'd actually want both in case you end up with like a parent who like just completely wipes it out. Yeah. And then the other one can't do anything about it. Exactly. Because like I can't access it. I can't see it. I literally can do nothing. Like I don't even know how much money is in the account unless Jeff tells me.

I guess unless like.

Episode 24 (01:15:40.004)
Yeah, I don't know. That's like I literally filled out paperwork to get put on the account. Yeah. And no. So that account, does it just like, does it eventually turn into like, like I know a high school account is a thing because I had one and that is where that gives the parent complete control. And in terms of like control, like, well, yeah, no, I think it was complete control where.

the parent can take out and put in money. And so I had that. And so that gave my mom easy access to put money in when I needed it. And especially once I got to college, it should have phased out, but it kind of stayed the same. And now I think she just, I don't think she has access to take any money out. It's just like, she has direct access to put it in though. okay. I don't know. Jeff set everything up. That's his department. He knows all that stuff. I think it's just a savings account. Yeah.

I don't think it's anything special or fancy, but... Maybe once it turns into a checking account, then both of you have access. Maybe. That way you can both help him out when he needs it. Exactly. That was my thought process. That's interesting. Right? Yeah. The more you know. Q star. Yeah, exactly. But yeah, so rounding ourselves back, this is my product. It's Vintage TV.

I mean, the OGOD was like the one with the VCR because at least you don't need to connect to cable or set up an antenna. You can just keep playing old movies. So that's pretty cool. For any of y 'all who are of the younger age and never had one of these, please, please, please don't get upset that the quality is going to be terrible. What did you expect? Well, you don't know it's terrible quality until you see...

the good stuff. And that's so true. Like going back and seeing movies that we grew up on, I was like, we watched this. This is terrible. Or like playing games that we used to play, let's say on an old Game Boy, that we thought this is state of the art. And now that they've converted them to be on the Switch, I will play them and be like, this is crap. I'm like, wow.

Episode 24 (01:17:58.692)
I can't do this. I can't keep looking at this screen. It's too hard. And I'm like, I mean, it's not anybody's fault. It's just that's the quality we were at that time. That's the technology. Yeah. That's fun. We grew up during a really golden era. It was an era like before technology had really hit the boom. And then suddenly everything like fast rocketed by and we were just on board like, I guess we're growing up with this now. That's cool. And here we are now. Yeah.

And kids are surprised that we were around before Google was a thing. I don't know what to tell you. They were simpler times. We lived life. We went outside. You went outside. Yes, I went outside. I went outside. I just, I didn't love it. I loved it. This trip when we went up to Michigan, we were outside so much while we were up there and it was glorious and I was loving it.

I think I'm just always hyper aware of bugs and I'm like, but that's me. But also the bugs in Michigan are different than the bugs here in Texas. I mean, there's still mosquitoes that will like carry you off into the sunset. I have a funny story about that. Carry you off into the sunset. I'm sorry. I just like actually envisioned that. We had a mosquito, I think it was like yesterday in our office.

and it landed on my co -worker's piece of paper and I was about to smush it and I'm like, that's her piece of paper, that's going to be gross. So I was like, ew, kill it, kill it, kill it. And she's like, you're overreacting, it's just a mosquito. And I was like, mm -hmm, yeah, I don't think that's overreacting. It was a smaller one, it wasn't like the creepy crawly long legged ones, but still, but still. The big creepy crawly long legged ones are not mosquitoes. Either way, they're gross. Anyways.

They eat the mosquitoes. Okay, well, they're still gross. I don't trust anything with long legs. I have long legs. Do you trust me, Priscilla Maybe not. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I will take these earmuffs up and walk out of your house. my God. You're so dramatic. Anyways. And the award goes to. Thank you. But anyways, so.

Episode 24 (01:20:18.884)
It flies away like right when she was like thinking of killing it, it flies away. And she's like, you're just overreacting. I was like, yeah, OK. Mosquito. So I roll off to my side of the studio where I'm like across from it. Right. I roll off. I'm minding my own business. And then I hear her go. No, no, I hear her go. Dang it. It got me again. And I whipped my head around and she was, yeah, the mosquito got me. And I was like,

Told you you should have killed it. I told you. You don't let them live. No, it's just like those scary movies where they let the person live. I'm like, cool. It's going to come back and kill you now. Good job. Good job. Got to get them while they're down. Yes. Always. Always. So yeah, that that's my funny story. I thought it was funny because it didn't come after me. Yeah. I was like, this is this is a life lesson that we've all learned here. Always kill the mosquitoes. There's no other answer. They're not going to help us. No.

They're not like bees where like they pollinate. Yes. So then you feel bad and also they die after they sting you and it's like, why did you do that to yourself? We could have just gone our ways and never stung each other. Yeah. But no, no. So that's why we don't try to kill bees because they're going to pollinate. Yeah. But mosquitoes are not helpful. No. As far as I know. F**k those mosquitoes. F**k them. Stop, they're endangered species. Lilo and Stitch. yeah.

That s**t cracked me up. I was like, hey, mosquitoes, endangered species. I have like 16 on my arm right now. my God. I don't have mosquitoes. Thank God. All right, I think we've got to end this now. Yeah. So.
