Lisa [00:00:06]:
At the age of 55, I've decided to embrace my arm fat. Is it my fault, Samantha, that our arm muscles grow down and not up once we hit a certain age?
Samantha [00:00:15]:
I think not grow down and not up.
Lisa [00:00:19]:
They grow. Our muscles grow down.
Samantha [00:00:21]:
That's. That. That's not muscle, Lisa.
Lisa [00:00:24]:
That's fat. But if it was muscle. But at one point, it must have been muscle, because at one point it probably was.
Samantha [00:00:30]:
And then we stopped lifting things and moving things, Right?
Lisa [00:00:37]:
I'm just saying, right? It's not my fault that my arm muscle's moving down instead of moving up.
Samantha [00:00:42]:
And you know what? This is not surprising for either one of us because I believe our most dedicated sport is chair sitting.
Lisa [00:00:51]:
Chair sitting, right?
Samantha [00:00:54]:
Or lounging.
Lisa [00:00:55]:
Not a lot of upward movement.
Samantha [00:00:57]:
There's not a lot of, like, let's move your arms.
Lisa [00:01:00]:
Right? But then here's the thing. I have two dumbbells in my. In my closet. Do I start using them, or do I just say, fuck it, I'm almost 60?
Samantha [00:01:09]:
Well, okay, so you're not almost 60.
Lisa [00:01:13]:
Well, as of July. As of July, I'm closer to 60 than I am 50.
Samantha [00:01:21]:
Yes, you are. But, however, if you want to be spry and still go do stuff when you're 60, right. It might be good for both of us to lift up a dumbbell every once in a while instead of like a donut to our mouth or chips to our mouth.
Lisa [00:01:38]:
Listen, you know. No, here's the thing, right? Is that. So, like, at some point, enough is enough, right? Like. Like, I'm not excited about them, right? They look like bat wings. It's like if I was doing the burgundy that. Na, na, na, na, na, na. They'll flap on their own. Flap, flap, flap, flap.
Lisa [00:01:51]:
Right? They'll do that all on their own. But.
Samantha [00:01:53]:
Yes.
Lisa [00:01:54]:
I'm just thinking, at some point, they're not so horrible, right? Until we're in, like, a tank top or something with no sleeves.
Samantha [00:02:02]:
Or bathing suit.
Lisa [00:02:03]:
Or bathing suit. But then we're just with friends.
Samantha [00:02:06]:
And we're really white.
Lisa [00:02:07]:
And we're really white, right? So I don't know. I think that they're called. I don't want to call them bat wings. I want to call them freedom flaps, right? 50 years, 55 years to get those babies right. Those are freedom flaps.
Samantha [00:02:17]:
Those are my freedom flaps.
Lisa [00:02:19]:
I've earned those wings. I've earned those wings, Samantha.
Samantha [00:02:22]:
Oh, my God.
Lisa [00:02:24]:
I've earned the right to let them swing to and fro.
Samantha [00:02:27]:
Yes, we have, Lisa. We've earned those big flapping things. And, and they don't even have to like, you know, we don't even have to move them that much. You just gotta move your arm a little and just, just little jig, like a wave.
Lisa [00:02:39]:
Like, you know, dear, like, dear God, I hope I never see like, dear God, I hope I never like, get worse balance. Because if I see somebody and I have bad balance and I wave, I'm going down. Gravity's taking, right? I'm going down. Going down with the flap, right. I'm have to do it. Have to be like a. Hey, how you doing? Both arms are going to have to go up.
Samantha [00:02:59]:
Oh my God. No. Cuz then right that, right there.
Lisa [00:03:02]:
Yeah.
Samantha [00:03:03]:
You just look like you dance. You were dancing in that horrible video when you were like. Yeah, like nobody needs to see that.
Lisa [00:03:10]:
Because when I dance, my arms, my hands become very rigid. Right? And then what does my kid sister do? She comments, how are we even related?
Samantha [00:03:21]:
She is very. She has got rhythm and you do not.
Lisa [00:03:25]:
I have no rhythm, right? None. So I have to keep my flaps under control or they're going to get the best of me.
Samantha [00:03:30]:
Well. And they're going to flap so hard you're going to fall over and you can't get up. And then.
Lisa [00:03:34]:
Yeah, then you're screwed. Then I'm screwed. But I don't know about you, but here's the other issue, right? Is that I find going into my 56th year, every part of me is just dropping. It's just dropping down. So I'm not surprised that my arms are. So is everything else. Yeah. So that's the way gravity takes you.
Lisa [00:03:54]:
Takes you down.
Samantha [00:03:55]:
It does. It takes you all the way down, right?
Lisa [00:03:58]:
Down, down, down, down, down. That's where we're going with this. Where we're going.
Samantha [00:04:02]:
And you're losing weight. So it's just like, just.
Lisa [00:04:06]:
I'm like, I'm like. I'm like parked handle.
Samantha [00:04:08]:
Right.
Lisa [00:04:13]:
Right. That's what I feel. I have no shape. I'm just like melting candle, Right. Like put me in Beauty and the Beast or something, right?
Samantha [00:04:21]:
Oh, please, no. Oh my God. You're the talking candle.
Lisa [00:04:25]:
I'm the talking candle. That's what's happening as. As I embark on a little bit of a weight loss. Right.
Samantha [00:04:31]:
God, am I a teapot? Then I must be the teapot.
Lisa [00:04:33]:
Are you the teapot? I didn't. I mean more the beast.
Samantha [00:04:36]:
Am I the very funny or am I the cup and saucer?
Lisa [00:04:40]:
I don't know. I don't know that showing up because I don't have Kids. Nor as an adult, do I watch cartoon movies. Not my gig, right? That's more your gig, Samantha. Right?
Samantha [00:04:48]:
Oh, fine. Whatever.
Lisa [00:04:50]:
Just saying, right? Let's embrace our. Let's embrace our. Freedom flaps.
Samantha [00:04:54]:
Freedom flaps. Here we go.
Lisa [00:04:56]:
Freedom flaps. Fly, let them fly.
Samantha [00:04:58]:
Let it fly.
Lisa [00:04:59]:
Let them flap away. Shall we?
Samantha [00:05:01]:
Do your ears hang low? Do they wobble, too?
Lisa [00:05:04]:
Do your arms hang low? Do they wobble? What is it? Wallow to and fro.
Samantha [00:05:08]:
Wobble to it.
Lisa [00:05:09]:
Wobble to and fro, Right? Is that about boobs? Yeah, is that about boobs?
Samantha [00:05:15]:
If your boobs hang low, can you.
Lisa [00:05:18]:
Like I said, everything hangs low. It all wobbles to and fro.
Samantha [00:05:23]:
We're not even getting the song right. People are just listening to us going, oh, my God, will you two stop?
Lisa [00:05:28]:
They're like, God, can these two start the podcast, please?
Samantha [00:05:32]:
Oh, my God, yes. Let's start the podcast, Lisa. Hello, everyone. Welcome to another episode of I Shake My Head with Lisa and Sam.

Samantha [00:06:16]:
Okay. And no singing will be.
Lisa [00:06:18]:
I feel like I'm singing.
Samantha [00:06:19]:
I guarantee you there will be no singing.
Lisa [00:06:22]:
Oh, no, don't, Don't. Don't you dare. Don't you dare guarantee that me and a microphone singing. Or if I have. If I have the. The. The head mic.
Samantha [00:06:33]:
No, you're not having. You're not getting the headset.
Lisa [00:06:35]:
If I get a head mic, you know, runs the podcast, you know, you're going to see. Bye. Bye, bye, bye, bye. You know, I'm going to do that dance.
Samantha [00:06:42]:
Okay. If you get a headset.
Lisa [00:06:45]:
Can't wait.
Samantha [00:06:45]:
I cannot guarantee people that our hands won't be doing weird shit. Like, I just can't.
Lisa [00:06:50]:
I'll just be all over the place. Eh? Oh, can't wait. Give me a stage and a mic.
Samantha [00:06:55]:
All right, well, you're uncoordinated on a good day, so.
Lisa [00:06:58]:
Yeah, right? Oh, the fun, the fun. In Saskatoon, we are 95% ready for our show. For you too. We're looking at. Right. We're looking in November. That's what we're doing there. So we haven't left.
Lisa [00:07:11]:
We haven't left. You haven't, you haven't been left out?
Samantha [00:07:13]:
No.
Lisa [00:07:14]:
Right. Okay. I want to just get right to it, Samantha. We. We went out, we were just minding our own business and there was a gentleman sitting at the bar, and we automatically assumed he was from out of town. And then it got me thinking, right? If you aren't from town and you go to a lounge or you go to a bar, where do you sit? Do you sit at a table or do you sit at the bar? I probably shouldn't ask you because you probably don't do this.
Samantha [00:07:50]:
I, I don't do that.
Lisa [00:07:51]:
I do this. I should just. Dear Lisa, what do you do? I've done both. I've done both. Right.
Samantha [00:07:58]:
I think if you're by yourself, it depends what it is or where you are.
Lisa [00:08:02]:
Right.
Samantha [00:08:04]:
So maybe you need to, like, like if it's Jack Asters, I would feel comfortable sitting at the bar.
Lisa [00:08:10]:
Sure. And they're all your friends.
Samantha [00:08:13]:
Yeah.
Lisa [00:08:13]:
Right. But I also feel comfortable sitting at a table.
Samantha [00:08:16]:
Yeah. You know, it really depends what kind of atmosphere it is. And it might be more fun sitting at the bar.
Lisa [00:08:22]:
You never know. Right? Yeah. It's hard to say, Right. Because you don't know anybody. So then you have built in audience, built in friends. Right there.
Samantha [00:08:29]:
Oh, my God. It's. It's like the stage Lisa has always wanted.
Lisa [00:08:32]:
Right. It's like, I'm sure I was meant to be on Cheers, Right.
Samantha [00:08:37]:
Oh, my God, you're Norm.
Lisa [00:08:39]:
Right. Don't say that he died.
Samantha [00:08:41]:
I.
Lisa [00:08:42]:
Right. That's horrible. Thank you.
Samantha [00:08:44]:
I'm not saying that you're die. Oh, for heaven's sake.
Lisa [00:08:47]:
Right. I'm just saying, Right. I would love to walk into a place and people go, Lisa. Yeah. It's all I want.
Samantha [00:08:54]:
They almost do that at the Jack Astors in Toronto.
Lisa [00:08:57]:
They do, right. After a six month hiatus. Yeah.
Samantha [00:09:01]:
Yeah, they do.
Lisa [00:09:02]:
I think what they say is, they say Saskatoon. Yes, Saskatoon.
Samantha [00:09:06]:
Saskatoon.
Lisa [00:09:07]:
I think that's what they remember. Saskatoon. Right.
Samantha [00:09:10]:
Okay. But. Okay, so the reason why Lisa's asking about, you know, if you aren't from town, do you sit at the bar or a table? It's because we saw a gentleman sitting at the bar on Friday night and we played a game. Is he from here?
Lisa [00:09:24]:
He's not from here. He's not from here.
Samantha [00:09:27]:
He's not from Here.
Lisa [00:09:28]:
He's not from here.
Samantha [00:09:29]:
And of course, because my back. Because she has to watch the tv, so my back is to this person. So I have to make a very obvious turn to look. And then he gets up and he walks. I think he went to the bathroom or I don't know. And I'm looking, and I'm like, oh, his clothes scream Vancouver in Toronto.
Lisa [00:09:46]:
Yeah. They scream, not from here.
Samantha [00:09:48]:
Not from here.
Lisa [00:09:48]:
Not from here.
Samantha [00:09:50]:
Not from here.
Lisa [00:09:51]:
His shirt screamed definitely not from here.
Samantha [00:09:54]:
The hat screamed not from here.
Lisa [00:09:56]:
The hat screamed not from here. We had to look up the hat because it had a fancy logo. So I googled it to find out what it meant. And the chain said, not from here.
Samantha [00:10:04]:
No.
Lisa [00:10:05]:
And the fancy drink said, not from.
Samantha [00:10:08]:
Here, not from here.
Lisa [00:10:09]:
Right. Because he was not drinking a beer.
Samantha [00:10:11]:
No.
Lisa [00:10:12]:
Which would be from here.
Samantha [00:10:13]:
Which would be from here.
Lisa [00:10:15]:
He was way too fancy.
Samantha [00:10:16]:
Oh, yeah.
Lisa [00:10:17]:
He was way too fancy.
Samantha [00:10:19]:
He was way too fancy. And way too, like, well put together.
Lisa [00:10:22]:
Well put together, like, matching. And not that, like, from here. Doesn't match, but they don't match like that. Hey.
Samantha [00:10:29]:
Yeah.
Lisa [00:10:29]:
It doesn't look like. Like, like from here. Doesn't look like. Not from here.
Samantha [00:10:34]:
No. He was not from here.
Lisa [00:10:36]:
It just doesn't. It's like. Like years ago, when we sat in the Midtown mall and. And we saw women who we knew weren't from here. Right. You just knew. Right. Not from here.
Lisa [00:10:47]:
Right.
Samantha [00:10:48]:
And we played that game. They're not from here.
Lisa [00:10:50]:
They're not from here. They. They. They exude not being from here. Right. They might as well have a sign on their back that says, not from here. Right. It's weird.
Samantha [00:11:01]:
It's. I don't know what it is about how you know if someone is from here or not from here. Or maybe it's because you see the people that live in this city and how they dress. I mean, there are certain people who dress, you know, a certain way, and you kind of go, oh, professional or cool person or whatever. But, you know when someone comes from a bigger center.
Lisa [00:11:22]:
Yeah.
Samantha [00:11:22]:
They have just put it all together.
Lisa [00:11:24]:
So do you think when we're out in a different place, people think, oh, not from here, for sure. But they're like. But not positively. Like, not like in a positive way, like what we do.
Samantha [00:11:35]:
No, not in a positive way, because they're like, oh, prairies.
Lisa [00:11:38]:
Prairies. Totally not from here. Right. Totally Prairies.
Samantha [00:11:41]:
It's how Lisa gets into the bar. Hi, everybody. This is not this place. This is not this. They don't care.
Lisa [00:11:48]:
Right. But I feel that they. But they. They should. They should embrace. They should embrace my spirit.
Samantha [00:11:55]:
Like, Toronto is gigantic.
Lisa [00:11:58]:
I know, but guess what? I'm an original. Thank you. You know what? I am there, and they should embrace my spirit. Right? I have a great spirit that needs embracing sometimes.
Samantha [00:12:11]:
I know. I'm saying you need constant validation. I understand that about you.
Lisa [00:12:14]:
Right? I'm that girl, right?
Samantha [00:12:17]:
Really?
Lisa [00:12:17]:
But whatever. You're exhausting all the time. You're exhausting.
Samantha [00:12:20]:
You're exhausting.
Lisa [00:12:21]:
How am I exhaust? I'm not more exhausting than you. You never been more exhausting than you.
Samantha [00:12:27]:
No, I am. I am not hard to get along with. You hard to get along with?
Lisa [00:12:32]:
I'm going to beg to dip. Like, I can't believe that your head didn't blow up. Pinocchio. Your nose is growing.
Samantha [00:12:39]:
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I want to go here and I want to eat this. I have allergies that don't exist. Like, it all has to be like, Lisa's in control. This is where we're going.
Lisa [00:12:55]:
I don't.
Samantha [00:12:56]:
Life is happening.
Lisa [00:12:57]:
I think. I think you're painting me in a really bad light, and I don't appreciate it, actually. Totally. You are right, Friends of the podcast. I'm really, like, I. I'm bad, but I'm not that bad.
Samantha [00:13:06]:
You know what? It's been a week already, and we're only into day two, and we're only Tuesday, right?
Lisa [00:13:11]:
Oh, my God. Like, the rest of the week. So it doesn't bode well. No, doesn't bode well. But I got a nice shake my head. Okay, go into the bathrooms. Shaking my head at bathrooms. Not like, everything to do with the bathroom.
Lisa [00:13:28]:
Let's just narrow it down, shall we? To the motion sensor sinks, to the taps that you have to kind of do a magic trip, get the right signal down, get the right angle to water to come out of the spout. Right? Because it's Covid times, right? We're still in Covid times, it seems. God forbid we have a. We have a knob, right? We don't do that or whatever or something. I can push with my foot. Instead, I have to use these sensors that, to be perfectly honest, and you're going to say a rude comment, and I'm not going to appreciate it already, but I'm going to say it makes me not want to wash my hands. I wash them. I wash them, but I'm not happy about it because it takes so long.
Lisa [00:14:11]:
And, you know, I take great pride in how quick I can Be to the bathroom and back.
Samantha [00:14:15]:
Yes you do. You take great pride in it. I'm not sure why, because I'm not.
Lisa [00:14:19]:
There for a business trip. I'm just in and out. Samantha. Right? Not there for a visit. There to do my business. But then those hand sensors, they slow me down. Right? Because even same thing, when you get the hand sensor soap.
Samantha [00:14:32]:
Uh huh.
Lisa [00:14:32]:
And then you got the hand sensor paper towel, I'm like, this whole process is not meant to happen, right? It's like it's a lot of moving pieces and I don't really love that too much.
Samantha [00:14:42]:
Well, you know, and it. Motion sensor sinks are very annoying. And then they don't work. And then you're now officially going to every sink, right?
Lisa [00:14:51]:
Looking like people try. Like. Because you can't do that well and still look kind of cool.
Samantha [00:14:57]:
No.
Lisa [00:14:57]:
Right, because you're just like, oh yeah. Like right? Like. And you look kind of panicky, right? Like you're like a cat trying to lap up milk or something. Cuz you're like, where's the water? Where's the water?
Samantha [00:15:06]:
Then people stare at you. If there's other people in, in the washroom and then they're staring at you like what's wrong with you? Why can't you make.
Lisa [00:15:12]:
Why can't your hands trigger the sensor, right? Shake my head.
Samantha [00:15:16]:
I'm a ghost. That's why I'm a ghost. And that's why it's not working right.
Lisa [00:15:20]:
And right now I'm putting a curse on you judgmental people in the bathroom. I shake my head at handset. Anything that's sensor related in a bathroom, it's not needed, right? You know what? I missed the 70s where everybody could just pull on the thing.
Samantha [00:15:34]:
They're oh my God, that was so gross. And then you would just get to the end of it and people were still wiping their hands.
Lisa [00:15:40]:
But we didn't know it was gross. We didn't know back then it was gross. We just knew it dried our hands. Oh. In the gas station. So on this side of the road, it's only gross now because we know different. Oh God, that is so when that's all we had. It was like perfect, right? Mom, me, Everybody just uses it.
Lisa [00:15:58]:
All the strangers, all the people just wandering through the gas stations in little small remote towns.
Samantha [00:16:04]:
Oh, gross.
Lisa [00:16:05]:
It is kind of nasty when you think about it. So that's what I'm doing. I'm just shaking my head, right? I don't need all this technology.
Samantha [00:16:12]:
Yes, Lisa, I know. Go back to the stone age. We get it right. We get it. All right. Pebble.
Lisa [00:16:18]:
Nice. It's going to be a long episode.
Samantha [00:16:24]:
Okay, I got it. I shake my head too.
Lisa [00:16:25]:
Okay.
Samantha [00:16:26]:
I shake my head when you're put on hold, when you've got you phone someone and. And you're waiting to do something and they put you on hold.
Lisa [00:16:36]:
Oh.
Samantha [00:16:37]:
And then I'm thinking to myself, how long does a person stay on hold until they give up the ghost.
Lisa [00:16:45]:
Oh, like for this girl, not that long, actually. No.
Samantha [00:16:49]:
Like when? What is the timeframe? If anyone could explain this to me, what is the timeframe that you just give up and hang up?
Lisa [00:16:55]:
Because is it etiquette? Because if you give up and you hang up, then you're not in the queue anymore, right?
Samantha [00:16:59]:
Nope.
Lisa [00:17:01]:
But hi. I mean, unless you're in your office, right? If I'm in my office, I don't mind because I can just put it on speaker and it'll just do its thing while I do my other things. Right? But if I'm not, I have no patience. Like today, trying to phone Hudson's, our Hudson's to get a t. To get our table. They have this new thing, right? And I don't believe that they're that busy at 2 o' clock in the afternoon where when you phone it, you just get an answering machine telling you about their great place and how they're too busy to pick up the phones to try again. I did that six times and I'm like, serious. So as of right now, haven't got a hold of them yet.
Lisa [00:17:40]:
I'm so mad.
Samantha [00:17:41]:
Cause maybe they don't take reservations anymore.
Lisa [00:17:44]:
No, I think they still do. They just apologize that they haven't. That they, that they, that. That. It must have be a high call volume.
Samantha [00:17:52]:
Oh, is that it?
Lisa [00:17:53]:
I'm like, really? Or you just took the phone off.
Samantha [00:17:54]:
The hook maybe, Right?
Lisa [00:17:56]:
Come on. But I don't know. I don't have patience to wait for long. I have not a lot of patience.
Samantha [00:18:01]:
No, I. I timed myself and I waited 10 minutes and I thought, you know what? That's 10 minutes I'm never getting back.
Lisa [00:18:07]:
Right? Right. Like if this was your last day, you wasted 10 minutes of it.
Samantha [00:18:12]:
I wasted 10 minutes waiting for someone to come back who probably forgot about me.
Lisa [00:18:16]:
And I think that happens too, right? Or when you get the person and then they're like, hey, I just can put you on hold for a minute. And then you're like, oh my God, that's what happened.
Samantha [00:18:26]:
I got them. They started talking. There was silence. And I'm like, are you. Are you still there? And they're like, oh, I have to put down hold for a sec. And then it was like, bad music, right? And then I was just counting the minutes, and I'm like, when should I just go? Yeah, Should I go at 10 minutes? Should I go at 8 minutes?
Lisa [00:18:46]:
Like, it's hard to say.
Samantha [00:18:48]:
Hedging my bets.
Lisa [00:18:49]:
You know what they should do? They should know that people phoning them are probably, like, in our age demographic. The music should be 80s on the background music, Right? It should be something.
Samantha [00:18:58]:
And then I'll stay.
Lisa [00:18:59]:
Right? Like, it should be like the Go Go's. We got the beat, we got the beat. We got the beat. Right? And then you're excited for the next song.
Samantha [00:19:05]:
Yeah. And then, you know, throw in some little, you know, a little Janet Jackson might be.
Lisa [00:19:09]:
Right. Let's do. Yeah, like, I mean, like, let's change it up so it's like, we don't need the elevator music.
Samantha [00:19:15]:
No.
Lisa [00:19:16]:
Yeah, I don't like.
Samantha [00:19:17]:
That's what I'm shaking my head at.
Lisa [00:19:18]:
Yeah, that's a good one. I don't blame you. I'd shake my head at that, too. Right.
Samantha [00:19:21]:
All right.
Lisa [00:19:22]:
I got a bone to pick with you.
Samantha [00:19:24]:
Of course you do.
Lisa [00:19:26]:
Yeah. Because I feel that you've been picking at me lately. Right, Right. My rotten boob.
Samantha [00:19:33]:
That's funny, though, because she still hasn't, folks.
Lisa [00:19:35]:
Yeah. Because you want to know why? Because I. I shouldn't tell you this, but I'm going to. I, I, I, I wanted the scab to go away, right? Because I have two scabs and they're very hard, and I wanted them to go away. Right? So I googled, how do you loosen a scab?
Samantha [00:19:49]:
Ugh.
Lisa [00:19:51]:
Just said, put some Vaseline on it. Okay. Seemed harmless. So I put Vaseline on it and I put a band aid over top. Right? Because, you know. Right. Vaseline is going to, like, go through on your clothes. You know what? It was like putting napalm on it.
Lisa [00:20:05]:
Agent orange. It baked it all day. All day. It was like baking. And when I took the band aid off because I couldn't handle the pain anymore because it was burning, I was like.
Samantha [00:20:16]:
It was like with beet red again, you dummy.
Lisa [00:20:20]:
Beet red and festering.
Samantha [00:20:22]:
And I'm like, it's not ready, whatever you were doing, so stop it.
Lisa [00:20:26]:
I did. I did. Yeah, but the. But that's only. You and my rotting boob are only part of my issue. You also commented, right? But you also commented the other day on my Baggy jeans.
Samantha [00:20:40]:
Oh, my God. You look like you shat.
Lisa [00:20:44]:
But those are my jeans.
Samantha [00:20:45]:
Did you just roll them one more time?
Lisa [00:20:47]:
I can't. Because at some point when you roll them too many times, it's hurting someplace, Right. And I don't want to walk around with a camel toe.
Samantha [00:20:57]:
Well, then I. And then what I suggested was a belt and you said, no, no, because.
Lisa [00:21:01]:
I still have belly fat. And remember many years ago you wore a belt and what happened? You got a rash, right? Because that chafes. So. No, I'm not wearing a belt. Oh, I don't know what I'm gonna do. Those are my favorite jeans.
Samantha [00:21:14]:
Oh, those are your favorite jeans. But they did not look good. Well, they didn't look good. Like, I'm not. I'm not trying to be mean. I was being helpful as a friend because. Helpful as a friend because I was like. First I was like, you need to pull up your pants.
Samantha [00:21:28]:
And you're like, no, can't.
Lisa [00:21:29]:
I can't. Helpful as a friend is not including the phrase it looks like you, your pants or you're wearing a diaper. That's not helpful as a friend.
Samantha [00:21:37]:
Actually, you know, I wasn't even going to mention this. I wasn't even going to mention that you had saggy ass pants. But now that we're talking about it, I'm going to be. I'm going to go full on. They looked horrible. And I suggest that you go looking for jeans and take Michelle.
Lisa [00:21:52]:
Yeah, but here's the thing, right? I might be losing weight, but I'm not losing weight in my waistband.
Samantha [00:21:57]:
No. And you're not going to because you've lost weight in your arm because you have a flap and you're losing weight in your leg, which you will be even skinnier. And it's one. One morning, you're going to get up and be like. And we're toppling. I cannot. The motion forward. And I'm just moving forward now.
Lisa [00:22:16]:
Right. It's not.
Samantha [00:22:17]:
Your legs will no longer be able to sustain you.
Lisa [00:22:20]:
I will not have my weeble shape anymore. Right, right. Weebles wobble, but we don't fall down.
Samantha [00:22:27]:
No. Like, come on, don't have that built like a brick house like me, you know, like I'm just wide all over the place.
Lisa [00:22:34]:
I don't know. It's. It's, it's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. But I'm going to keep wearing those pants proudly. Right.
Samantha [00:22:40]:
Can you just wear a longer shirt then?
Lisa [00:22:45]:
I don't really wear long shirts. I just wear a Shirt at my waist.
Samantha [00:22:49]:
Yeah. And then she wore her sweater that.
Lisa [00:22:51]:
She'S like, my sweater felt too short. You said it wasn't tight. You said it was.
Samantha [00:22:56]:
No, the sweater itself was fine. It was only when I looked at your. Oh, my God. Could you pull up your pants? Pants. I was like, it needs to be a little bit longer just to cover, like, the extra fabric that seems to have not its way onto whatever's left of your butt.
Lisa [00:23:13]:
Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. But I'm just saying. Right. I accept your apology. Thank you.
Samantha [00:23:18]:
I'm not apologizing in any way, shape or form for this.
Lisa [00:23:23]:
No.
Samantha [00:23:23]:
Because if something was wrong with what I was wearing, you'd be all over it. All over it. Green shirt. How's your green shirt? I like my green shirt. Are you sure?
Lisa [00:23:34]:
Is you sure I have my plaid pants? Right? You scarred me with that. Right.
Samantha [00:23:43]:
How's your. Oh, look at your pretty plaid pants.
Lisa [00:23:45]:
Right? I mean, those are pretty plaid pants. She goes both ways. Goes both ways.
Samantha [00:23:52]:
We definitely. We're really. We're really mean to each other.
Lisa [00:23:57]:
We typically run that way, right?
Samantha [00:24:00]:
We do, because we're just, you know, sarcastic, snotty little couple of.
Lisa [00:24:04]:
Right here. Right? That's what we are. Okay, so on the View, right? I don't ever watch the View. It's funny. So Mark and Kelly the other day stole something from us.
Samantha [00:24:16]:
Oh, they did?
Lisa [00:24:17]:
What was it? I don't remember what it was, but it was totally. We talked about it on our podcast maybe two or three weeks ago. What was it?
Samantha [00:24:25]:
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Lisa [00:24:27]:
I meant to write brain frog. Yeah, I don't know. I don't remember. But it was totally. It was in their opening and it was totally what we had talked about, and I don't remember, but it was ours because. Again. Right. Apparently, Kelly Rip is listening again.
Lisa [00:24:42]:
Right. Which is fine. Right? Just maybe give us a shout out or something. Give us a plug. You know, just like I'm going to give a plug to the View. Right. Because this is what you do, Kelly Ripple. When you borrow somebody else's stuff, you say, hey, I heard an interesting conversation on the View the other day.
Lisa [00:24:58]:
Right? They were talking about which way you put your bra on. Oh, right. Which way do you put your bra in, Samantha?
Samantha [00:25:07]:
Well, I do it up in the front and I twist it.
Lisa [00:25:10]:
So you're that girl.
Samantha [00:25:12]:
I am that girl.
Lisa [00:25:13]:
Always been that girl.
Samantha [00:25:16]:
Pretty much.
Lisa [00:25:17]:
I only was that girl when I had frozen shoulder and my arms couldn't move.
Samantha [00:25:21]:
I mean, I could I could probably.
Lisa [00:25:25]:
Other than that, I've never been that girl. I do arms in. Somehow my arms can go right to the back and get that sucker done up. No, I don't like the twist and the twist and the twist. And you gotta lift them and put them in where they go, well, kind of unbody.
Samantha [00:25:41]:
So don't be afraid to touch.
Lisa [00:25:43]:
I'm just saying it's a lot of unnecessary touching before you go to work. Right, right.
Samantha [00:25:51]:
Oh my God. Don't be afraid to touch yourself, Lisa.
Lisa [00:25:54]:
What is that? Is that like a, like, is that like a public announcement or something? That's what people are going to say, according to. I shake my head. Lisa and Sam, it's okay to touch yourself. I touch myself.
Samantha [00:26:04]:
Oh my God.
Lisa [00:26:05]:
Please don't.
Samantha [00:26:05]:
Don't sing.
Lisa [00:26:06]:
That's creepy. But they were saying.
Samantha [00:26:09]:
Okay, so why were they talking about bras on the View?
Lisa [00:26:11]:
Because Whoopi doesn't wear a bra.
Samantha [00:26:13]:
Well, that is well known.
Lisa [00:26:15]:
Right. And then, I don't know, then they were just talking about, well, how. And some people put it on one way, some of them put it on the other way. It was kind of like a 5050 mix.
Samantha [00:26:24]:
Oh, okay.
Lisa [00:26:24]:
Yeah. And I knew that my shoulders had healed. The day, like, that was my goal when I got frozen shoulder was to put my bra on my old fashioned way. And when the day came that I could do that, I was like, yes. Score felt so good. Right.
Samantha [00:26:38]:
The day that I could lift my arm above my head without excruciating pain was a plus.
Lisa [00:26:43]:
The day that I could get a cup from the cupboard, that was. Good day. Good day.
Samantha [00:26:48]:
Hey, for those ladies who don't know what frozen shoulder is, be thankful.
Lisa [00:26:53]:
Yeah. Google it. It sucks.
Samantha [00:26:56]:
The fact that Lisa got it and then I got it and then I.
Lisa [00:26:58]:
Got it in both shoulders.
Samantha [00:27:00]:
Yeah, I got it in both. Show that happens to you. Actually, more often than not. You get it in both shoulders. Freaking suck.
Lisa [00:27:06]:
Like, I couldn't even put my winter coat on one year. Remember? I'm like, it was like ET with like little arms.
Samantha [00:27:10]:
Like you're like, help.
Lisa [00:27:12]:
Yeah, like, like you're totally at the mercy of your shoulders.
Samantha [00:27:15]:
And this is totally, totally part of menopause. Perimenopause or menopause.
Lisa [00:27:20]:
Or having a heart attack. Thank you.
Samantha [00:27:22]:
Or having a heart attack.
Lisa [00:27:23]:
Could be because they say you don't eat.
Samantha [00:27:25]:
There's just so many things.
Lisa [00:27:26]:
Right, Right. Cuz. Cuz having a heart attack is not part of perimenopause or menopause. Actually, no, it's part of End stage life. But it's End stage life came early.
Samantha [00:27:37]:
Uhhuh. But the frozen shoulder is. Is legit.
Lisa [00:27:40]:
Frozen shoulder sucked. That stuck around for a long time.
Samantha [00:27:44]:
Uhhuh. Well, cuz it goes through a cycle and from what I was told, it's like two years long.
Lisa [00:27:50]:
Yeah, it was a long. It was. It was tough. It was. It. And you use your arms with everything for a lot. And it lets you know that. Right? It lets you know.
Samantha [00:28:00]:
I don't know about you, but I would. My ritual when I had. When it was in both shoulders was two heated bags, one on each shoulder. A couple of Tylenol before I went to bed. Because muscle relaxants were nothing. No, they didn't help at all. And then some I. And then some biofreeze.
Lisa [00:28:23]:
You're a little more committed to the process than what I am. I was.
Samantha [00:28:26]:
I just couldn't sleep.
Lisa [00:28:27]:
I was like Tylenol, right? Like, I don't do the hot pad. I don't do that for anything. Right.
Samantha [00:28:31]:
Yeah.
Lisa [00:28:31]:
Can't be bothered.
Samantha [00:28:32]:
But then you had. And then you have to. And then I wasn't really a back sleeper. Like I was. I always like to start off on my side.
Lisa [00:28:38]:
Yeah.
Samantha [00:28:39]:
Couldn't do that anymore.
Lisa [00:28:39]:
No. I was lucky that way. Right. Because I am totally only a back sleeper. Right. Like if, If. If I drop dead in my sleep, I'm ready. I am ready.
Lisa [00:28:48]:
Hands are probably in the right spot and everything. Right. Like I'm making. Making life easy for people. Oh, God. So look at. We got off on a tangent. We went from bras to frozen shoulders.
Samantha [00:28:57]:
I know. Well, because it's all related. Hey. Right.
Lisa [00:29:00]:
It's all part of.
Samantha [00:29:00]:
Bras are a. If you have a frozen shoulder.
Lisa [00:29:02]:
Got a frozen shoulder.
Samantha [00:29:04]:
They're a. Okay. Well, we've gotten a request.
Lisa [00:29:11]:
Lisa, We've gotten a few requests to.
Samantha [00:29:15]:
Dive back into ice cream and sex.
Lisa [00:29:20]:
Right? Let's talk about sex, baby. Let's talk about you and me. Is not. I don't know. Is that salt and pepper?
Samantha [00:29:27]:
Let's talk about all the good things.
Lisa [00:29:29]:
And the bad things that could be. Let's talk about six. Let's talk about sex, people.
Samantha [00:29:35]:
We're not going to people.
Lisa [00:29:37]:
We're not. But people were very invested in this topic.
Samantha [00:29:41]:
Well, because it was like ice cream. The ice cream that, you know, like vanilla was the missionary position.
Lisa [00:29:47]:
Right. Boring.
Samantha [00:29:49]:
Then it's like, well, you know, let's do some other stuff. Like. Yeah, okay. Vanilla classics reliable.
Lisa [00:29:55]:
Gotta have it buying.
Samantha [00:29:58]:
Right. Often, you know, unfairly labeled boring because some people really enjoy this particular, you know, kind of position, missionary. I mean, it gets the job done. Right.
Lisa [00:30:10]:
You know, and it's very little work for us. Very little work. So whatever. Missionary away. Could.
Samantha [00:30:17]:
Something. There could be something to that.
Lisa [00:30:19]:
Right? Right.
Samantha [00:30:20]:
You know, and we did talk about chocolate and we said that it was like, you know, doggy style. But, you know, think about it as sort of like rich and indulgent, maybe a little messy, which really goes hand in hand with doggy style.
Lisa [00:30:31]:
I don't know. I just like, like we're friends. The podcast we're gonna. We're heading into some unchartered territory here, right? Strawberry. This is what, this is what I think strawberry ice cream is. Other than. I think it's gross. But it's.
Lisa [00:30:43]:
I think that it's underestimated. It's probably sweet and kind of romantic, right? Because it's strawberry. Like soft rose petals. Soft. Soft music, that type of thing. You know what I think it is? I think it's like old fashioned spooning. All the fun, little effort. That's what I think.
Lisa [00:31:03]:
I think, I think, I think it's just spooning, spooning, spooning, spooning in a sexual way, I guess. Right?
Samantha [00:31:13]:
It is the spooning position.
Lisa [00:31:15]:
God, who does that? Who does that? Who lies like that?
Samantha [00:31:19]:
Like so close together?
Lisa [00:31:22]:
Sorry. Right? This is. You're talking. I'm 25 years, I've been married.
Samantha [00:31:25]:
Right.
Lisa [00:31:26]:
Get the spoon out. Right.
Samantha [00:31:28]:
But okay, so let's, I mean, mint chocolate chip, you know, it's cool, it's up.
Lisa [00:31:33]:
This bothers me because I, I currently have mint chocolate chip ice cream in my freezer.
Samantha [00:31:37]:
Like this could be like toys or role play. Why are you, you know, you're not really sure what's happening, but you like it, right?
Lisa [00:31:46]:
Is it kind of dirty?
Samantha [00:31:47]:
It could be like vibrators and costumes all band together.
Lisa [00:31:51]:
You know what it is? You know what? It's. So mint chocolate chip should be known as the top drawer of your nightstand. Right? Because everybody's got a top drawer or bottom drawer. Everybody drawer at the nightstand, right? Their little goodie bag.
Samantha [00:32:04]:
Yeah, there's. There's a little goodie in there.
Lisa [00:32:06]:
There's goodies, right? When a company comes over, you're hiding, hide the nightstand stuff, right? Because you know people are going to check it out.
Samantha [00:32:14]:
Right?
Lisa [00:32:14]:
Right. Everybody's checking a nightstand. Even more so probably than like a bathroom cupboard. Right. What about Rocky Road? What do you think it is?
Samantha [00:32:23]:
It's bumpy. It's chaotic.
Lisa [00:32:26]:
I think that it's a lot of moving parts yeah, like a lot. Like, Like, I think. You know what I think? I think it's. It's too much woman for me and too much man for me because I think it goes on and on and on because it could be a.
Samantha [00:32:40]:
Could be a full nighter. There could be lots of aerobics. Maybe your legs are going high. Maybe it's the shoulder. Maybe you're up in the air.
Lisa [00:32:51]:
Oh, my God.
Samantha [00:32:52]:
And on his shoulders, like you don't know what's going on.
Lisa [00:32:55]:
I'll tell you what's not going on. Up in the air and on the shoulders, Right? God, Samantha, you always have to take it one step dirty.
Samantha [00:33:03]:
Because these are the positions that potentially. Rocky road. It's like, you know, there's some stuff going on.
Lisa [00:33:08]:
There's a new position, and it's called the ice cream. Did you see how that goes?
Samantha [00:33:14]:
No.
Lisa [00:33:14]:
So, okay, here it is. Here it is. The ice cream. He is on his knees on a hard surface or the bed, I guess, right? And you are on top of his. So he's on his knees, but his legs. His thighs are accessible, right? The woman is on the thighs facing straight ahead. That's the ice cream cone. Oh, my God.
Lisa [00:33:45]:
And I guess apparently how it gets its name is it's one scoop. Two scoops, right? Seriously, apparently, right? Like, I'm old fashioned. Hey. Like, I'm like like 122 years in dog years. And in. And in, like old married sex years. I'm like 152, right?
Samantha [00:34:04]:
Oh, my God.
Lisa [00:34:05]:
Ice cream cone. If. If Mike Gibson said, hey, do you want to try the ice cream cone? I'd be like, sure. What flavor? Like, I would be thinking we're going to the Dairy Queen to get a chocolate dip or something, right?
Samantha [00:34:14]:
Have you ever tried the reverse cowgirl?
Lisa [00:34:17]:
I don't even know what that is. You and I don't. You and I don't have this type of conversation. We do not have a friendship that shares the reverse cowgirl. So what is the reverse cowgirl?
Samantha [00:34:27]:
I don't. I don't know.
Lisa [00:34:28]:
And now we're a sex show?
Samantha [00:34:30]:
No, we're a sex show. Well, because the reverse cowgirl is kind of like bubblegum, right? It's a little exciting. It's. It's. It's like a little bit weird, but it's playful.
Lisa [00:34:44]:
Is it spanking?
Samantha [00:34:45]:
It's. She's on top but turned around.
Lisa [00:34:48]:
Wow. And that's the cowgirl.
Samantha [00:34:50]:
Cowgirl.
Lisa [00:34:50]:
Oh, yeah.
Samantha [00:34:51]:
Get your boots.
Lisa [00:34:53]:
Wow. Hey, like, I'm just like a straight edge married woman, right?
Samantha [00:34:57]:
I know, I know.
Lisa [00:34:58]:
Pistachio. They say it's unexpectedly good, right? And. But I don't know if I think it would be good. It wouldn't be good in my world because I don't understand it. Because it's like a time me up and turn me into gelato type of thing, right? Like this. Like probably some Spanx and bdsm. Like, I hope the people who wanted to hear about this are still listening.
Samantha [00:35:25]:
You know what? I don't know. Will you ever listen? Will you ever look at your ice cream the same again? It's hard to.
Lisa [00:35:30]:
Right? It's like, like I don't ever want to have salted caramel ice cream because apparently it's oral pleasures for both.
Samantha [00:35:36]:
Because it's a little salty, it's a little sticky, right? Get a little messy.
Lisa [00:35:41]:
It's. I tell you, right. Oh my God. Like, who dreams up this?
Samantha [00:35:46]:
I don't know. But apparently we're talking about it.
Lisa [00:35:49]:
So here. We're talking about it, right? We did a little research, which we never do.
Samantha [00:35:53]:
No. And you know what? I still say the Neapolitan is a threesome song for sure.
Lisa [00:35:58]:
It's totally, totally me some. Right? I tell you, I don't know. I just. For those people who indulge in all of those types of fun, like, good on you.
Samantha [00:36:09]:
Good. Well, and if you're our age and you're still doing that, good flexibility.
Lisa [00:36:14]:
I'm going to say if you're our age and you're still doing it, good on you. Right? I just. The first and cross off my bucket list being done.
Samantha [00:36:25]:
Well, and if you're in menopause or perimenopause, I mean, vaginal dryness is a real thing, so.
Lisa [00:36:31]:
Oh God.
Samantha [00:36:32]:
Not many people are potentially getting it on.
Lisa [00:36:36]:
Right? And if they are, then they're getting all sticky and yucky and so much work. It just gets so much work, right?
Samantha [00:36:45]:
It's so much work.
Lisa [00:36:46]:
Right? It's so much work. And nothing. I said nothing. Like a great weekend that makes me, around 8 o' clock at night, start faking a headache.
Samantha [00:37:03]:
You're bad.
Lisa [00:37:04]:
Just saying. Right. Okay, well, there you go, friends of the podcast. There's your ice cream.
Samantha [00:37:09]:
I'm so sorry we did this to you again.
Lisa [00:37:12]:
Right. But somebody, A couple people asked a.
Samantha [00:37:15]:
Couple people and you know, I really like caramel and I really like chocolate.
Lisa [00:37:18]:
You know what Sunday should be? What flavor of ice cream are you? Right? Yeah, that could be a One has to go.
Samantha [00:37:27]:
We can, we. We can start naming names.
Lisa [00:37:31]:
Naming names. Then we'll do a part three. Oh, God, please. Right? That's.
Samantha [00:37:37]:
We're done. We're done.
Lisa [00:37:39]:
That's okay. We gotta move on, right? Because my face, I'm blushing and flushed.
Samantha [00:37:44]:
You're flushed, Right?
Lisa [00:37:46]:
It's a lot of sex right there. Okay. Did you know studies show that people are all tipped out, right? People like, we've been tipping and we're done with tipping, right? Because now everything wants a tip. Canadian Tire self serve checkout. Samantha asks you if you want to leave a tip. I don't want to leave a tip. Nobody's talked to me. Nobody's helped me.
Lisa [00:38:07]:
I went and found my own thing. And now I'm doing your job because I'm cashing myself out. Who am I leaving a tip for?
Samantha [00:38:14]:
This was at the self checkout.
Lisa [00:38:15]:
At a self checkout. Do you want to leave a tip? Yeah. Don't ask me this stupid question. That's my tip. Right?
Samantha [00:38:24]:
Huh? Yeah. I think people. My family was just talking about it the other day.
Lisa [00:38:31]:
Were they? And do they feel tipped out?
Samantha [00:38:33]:
I think they. It's getting really expensive. Like, because now it's not 10, 15, 20%. It's 18, 20, 22%.
Lisa [00:38:43]:
Yeah, totally. And now it makes a difference between I can afford a meal out, but once I put the tip on, like, for us, it's a $20 tip, all of a sudden my meal's gone from somewhat affordable to, oh, that hurt. Right. But yet we had great service on Friday and we both left large tips because she was really good.
Samantha [00:39:05]:
She was very good. Yeah, she was attentive.
Lisa [00:39:09]:
She was just really good. Yeah, right? She was really, really good.
Samantha [00:39:12]:
But she was very friendly. She was nice to talk to.
Lisa [00:39:15]:
But it's like when, when, when we get a sub from Subway and when I go to pay, it asks me if I want to leave a tip. And I'm like, I helped you make the sub. I answered all the questions. Right? I. I get you put it together, but you only got to put it together because I did my part of the job.
Samantha [00:39:29]:
Yeah, right.
Lisa [00:39:31]:
So. So no, you don't get a tip for that.
Samantha [00:39:34]:
Well, but you tip. You tip taxi people, don't you?
Lisa [00:39:40]:
Oh.
Samantha [00:39:44]:
I'm surprised Uber still picks you up.
Lisa [00:39:46]:
And. And I have a good rating too, so it's like they're holding out hope, right? I'm horrible, actually. I mean to. And then I forget. And then I just. And then the next time I go to get an Uber, my little thing comes up saying, hey, do you wanna. Do you wanna leave a tip for Omar And I'm like, oh, my God, that was three weeks ago. No, I'm over this now.
Lisa [00:40:03]:
Right?
Samantha [00:40:04]:
You are horrible.
Lisa [00:40:05]:
I'm really bad. You, you tip in a cab?
Samantha [00:40:08]:
Yes.
Lisa [00:40:09]:
Because. Okay, I can't, I can't because you know how I feel about tipping, right? I work in, I worked, as did you, the bulk of our adult life in the service industry, in retail, never once expected a tip or got a tip, right? And I'm going to tell you, do you remember the amount of clothing that we used to have to take in and go fetch? Can I get a size? Sure. Can I get a size? Sure. Can I get the other size? Sure. Right. And oh my God. And the amount of clothes we had to put away and the amount of clothes we had to go get.
Samantha [00:40:48]:
Oh, and on a busy weekend, on.
Lisa [00:40:50]:
A busy weekend and people would just leave their shit on the floor and we'd have to pick it up and clean it up and no tip. And I think that some retail workers, not just a cashier, but some people who spend lots of time with that customer, outfitting them and telling them that they look great and then they leave a pigsty and their clothes are sweaty at the waistband, right. And damp. Everything's a little damp, right. And we don't get a tip. So I sometimes feel really, I get case you can't tell. I get a little revved up about tipping. Like, I get it, I get that, I get.
Lisa [00:41:27]:
Society says we tip, right? But I believe now that everybody starts off in Canada. I don't know about the States getting paid minimum wage, right? Like can't pay somebody less than minimum wage.
Samantha [00:41:41]:
No.
Lisa [00:41:42]:
So in retail, crappy pay, you make minimum wage just like the waitress, just like the hairdresser, just like the taxi driver.
Samantha [00:41:53]:
That's true. I mean, but we tip our hairdresser too, though.
Lisa [00:41:56]:
We do, right? You tip your, you tip your massage, your rub down lady, right? You tip, you tip.
Samantha [00:42:01]:
Massage therapist.
Lisa [00:42:02]:
Fine, right? You tip her, right? We, we, we. You tip the, the mechanic, right.
Samantha [00:42:08]:
I think. Okay, so the, the idea of a tip is that the service was so good. You were that impressed.
Lisa [00:42:15]:
Sure. And that totally. I buy, I buy that 100%. Right? But it's like getting an appraisal at work, right? If you just meet expect, if you just meet standards. Like I'm happy that you just met standards, but you didn't do one thing over and above me to give you more money. Right? And I sound horrible and people are going to be mad. I get it.
Samantha [00:42:35]:
So is that why the sandwich artist at Subway doesn't get anything from me.
Lisa [00:42:39]:
She doesn't get a tip. No. I'm not tipping for takeout food. No. Do you tip like that?
Samantha [00:42:46]:
No, not at that.
Lisa [00:42:47]:
No. Right. I mean, yes, I should tip the cabs. Yes, I should. I know, but I don't.
Samantha [00:42:52]:
If they get you there safely, that's pretty good.
Lisa [00:42:54]:
Yeah. Well, you know, I'm just saying. Right. But. But I'm not going to tip a self checkout.
Samantha [00:43:01]:
No. Let's go back to the original story. Canadian Tire. What are you doing? If this.
Lisa [00:43:05]:
What are you doing? Canadian Tire.
Samantha [00:43:06]:
Hopefully you didn't read that wrong.
Lisa [00:43:08]:
No, I didn't read it wrong. I read it. Right. I mean, I didn't read much more about it, but I read it. I read that. Right.
Samantha [00:43:17]:
And that sums up how we do any kind of like diving deep, deep dive in to anything we're talking about. It's a headline and a paragraph and we're done.
Lisa [00:43:28]:
Yeah. Like. Like if it's not just in that first paragraph, like, I'm not necessarily clicking it on. I'm just reading. What. Like I'm not putting the extra work in. Right.
Samantha [00:43:36]:
Yeah.
Lisa [00:43:37]:
We said eight years ago we are not here to teach you things. We don't. Fact check. And chances are what's coming out of our mouth is wrong. Right. We know that about us, Samantha. That's how we roll.
Samantha [00:43:51]:
Yeah.
Lisa [00:43:51]:
So I believe that it's a true story. Right.
Samantha [00:43:56]:
Holy hell. All right.
Lisa [00:43:58]:
Right.
Samantha [00:43:58]:
Okay. So we finally got warmer weather. And you know what's really funny is that when you, you know you're getting old when you start obsessing about weather.
Lisa [00:44:09]:
Sure.
Samantha [00:44:11]:
And you know that you're getting to the point where this is how. This is a conversation you're having with other people. You're not having weather talk. And I'm like, who am I?
Lisa [00:44:20]:
Right. I'm concerned about the weather, but it.
Samantha [00:44:23]:
Was really warm today. You know what really pissed me off?
Lisa [00:44:25]:
The wind.
Samantha [00:44:26]:
The wind.
Lisa [00:44:27]:
Yeah.
Samantha [00:44:27]:
And I'm like, this is not a nice day. It's still. But ask Windy.
Lisa [00:44:32]:
You couldn't have sat out very nicely on a patio today. No. Right. Like, enough with the wind. Right. We have fires burning up our province.
Samantha [00:44:40]:
Oh, my God. We are on fire.
Lisa [00:44:42]:
Because of the wind. Right. Because of the wind.
Samantha [00:44:45]:
I don't know how they won't.
Lisa [00:44:47]:
It's funny. Like we've had. In a province. We've had no rain, no thunder, no lightning. But yet our province is burning. I don't know how the affair start. People that I think that it's Carelessness.
Samantha [00:44:59]:
But it. It might. I think it might be carelessness, but our.
Lisa [00:45:03]:
Our.
Samantha [00:45:04]:
Okay. It's not funny, people. We're on fire. Like this. The fire that's going on right now is.
Lisa [00:45:09]:
This is four size and size of like. Of our major cities.
Samantha [00:45:14]:
Yeah. Like, it's. It's not good. And we have a very large north with lots of trees.
Lisa [00:45:20]:
Of trees. Right. It's not.
Samantha [00:45:21]:
And it's now to the point where it's getting into. It's going to enter Candle Lake and then there's Provincial park and there's lots of stuff around there. The village could burn. It's like 14km away or something like that everywhere.
Lisa [00:45:35]:
Like it happens in the States too. I just think. I just don't know if we're safe with fire.
Samantha [00:45:40]:
No, we're not safe with fire. The problem is, is that they have the equipment and they can start doing stuff. But people are waiting for a budget. They're waiting for money to pay people to do this. How about you save the province?
Lisa [00:45:54]:
Yeah.
Samantha [00:45:55]:
And don't make us look like, I don't know, Jasper did.
Lisa [00:45:58]:
Yeah, totally. Right.
Samantha [00:45:59]:
Right? They let that motherfucker burn.
Lisa [00:46:01]:
Yeah. Burn mother.
Samantha [00:46:03]:
Enough.
Lisa [00:46:04]:
Yeah. It's not good. It's not good. It's not good. And it's not good when it happens in California and everywhere else. It's all bad.
Samantha [00:46:10]:
No, it's not good. But we can do something about it. And they're asking. I saw the clip. I saw the clip. The news clip.
Lisa [00:46:16]:
Yeah.
Samantha [00:46:17]:
They're asking, God, we have it. Let's do something. We can. We can. We can keep this from burning villages and.
Lisa [00:46:24]:
Sure.
Samantha [00:46:25]:
And towns and provincial parks.
Lisa [00:46:26]:
Everything has to come down to a budget somehow. Right?
Samantha [00:46:28]:
Of course it does.
Lisa [00:46:29]:
Never fails. It never fails. I don't know. But. Yeah. The weather's kind of weird. Weather's kind of weird. Okay.
Samantha [00:46:35]:
So it's warm and it's windy and it's not good.
Lisa [00:46:36]:
Yeah. Right. So we just want warm. We don't ask for windy. No, we just want warm. That's all that we want. If the time ever comes that I'm at the grocery store and the person ringing through my groceries has to walk me through how to use the debit machine, it's time for me not to be out on my own. Okay.
Lisa [00:47:01]:
Time for me not to be out on my own. Because I watched as this lineup was really big at the co op on Saturday and there was an old gal and I get it. Right? It happens, right? We get old. We don't know how to use the technology and you need checking and every pin pad. You know, dear the world, why can't we just make one universal pin pad? Make life easier for everybody. But every. So I get it. So I'm not blaming the old gal, but it made me think, right? If I'm ever that gal and somebody has to walk me through it, I shouldn't be by myself.
Lisa [00:47:30]:
But then I kind of thought, there's a reason why I carry cash. Well, I'm not that gal. And maybe old people have to start carrying money because the debit card, like, maybe it's not all it's cracked up to be.
Samantha [00:47:43]:
Maybe not, right? Maybe not.
Lisa [00:47:45]:
Just saying.
Samantha [00:47:46]:
With somebody assisting her though.
Lisa [00:47:48]:
Yeah, like the cashier.
Samantha [00:47:49]:
Okay, good.
Lisa [00:47:50]:
Yeah, like, so somebody was helping her. But. But hi.
Samantha [00:47:54]:
Right, I know. And the thing is, is that like you were probably like, hey, I get it, this could be me. But the other people in line probably were thinking, oh my God, old ladies.
Lisa [00:48:04]:
Totally. Right, totally.
Samantha [00:48:05]:
And thinking rude thoughts.
Lisa [00:48:07]:
Yeah. And I totally get it because it will be me one day for sure. Only. Only I probably will never ever use my debit card because I barely use it now. I'm a card carrying member, not necessarily a user. So I just wanted to say, right, so like, if that ever happens, like, take my card away. Okay?
Samantha [00:48:24]:
Okay.
Lisa [00:48:25]:
Don't let me out by myself.
Samantha [00:48:27]:
Okay.
Lisa [00:48:28]:
Shouldn't be out unsupervised, right? Keep my walker at home. Keep me at home too. And call somebody to get my groceries, right? I would help you. I would come get your groceries, but I wouldn't know where to deliver them to because I don't know where you live.
Samantha [00:48:42]:
And you know what?
Lisa [00:48:42]:
That's okay, right?
Samantha [00:48:44]:
I got it figured out.
Lisa [00:48:45]:
Okay, well, good, because you have to defend for yourself because you've made this little fortress of a world that you won't let anybody crack. So one day, right, your old mom and dad are going to be too old to come over because they're getting older. And I'm going to be the next logical person and I'm going to be like.
Samantha [00:49:07]:
And I'm gonna be like, who are you kidding?
Lisa [00:49:10]:
I need help.
Samantha [00:49:11]:
You're not it.
Lisa [00:49:12]:
I'm like, sorry, I can't help. I don't know where she lives.
Samantha [00:49:15]:
It would be my, my. Either one of my nephews or my brother or his wife. And it's definitely not going to be you.
Lisa [00:49:23]:
No, it would be me because I'm the best friend and that's my job. Don't take my job away. You can, I can help.
Samantha [00:49:29]:
Help you it's not the other way around.
Lisa [00:49:32]:
I can help. Remember when you broke your ankle? Remember? And then we went to the lake. I helped you.
Samantha [00:49:38]:
No, you did it.
Lisa [00:49:39]:
I loved all this shit. Oh, I was mad. I was mad. I was mad.
Samantha [00:49:44]:
So rude. You're like, how come you can't do this? I just got my cast off.
Lisa [00:49:48]:
I'm like, okay, but, like, you can't. Like, your arms are fine.
Samantha [00:49:52]:
I had to use my cane to go down to the beach.
Lisa [00:49:55]:
I know, but, you know, you still have one good arm, and it's like, you can't put the. You can't put, like, your heavy lawn chair under one good arm.
Samantha [00:50:02]:
No, no.
Lisa [00:50:03]:
Right?
Samantha [00:50:04]:
No, no, no.
Lisa [00:50:05]:
So that's the thing, is you make it hard to help you.
Samantha [00:50:08]:
No, I don't.
Lisa [00:50:09]:
Right? Yeah, you do. It was hard, right? And then I was just like. Let me. Yes. Barbecue. Either.
Samantha [00:50:15]:
Can you. Oh, my God, you're such an asshole. Because you. God forbid that you do any of this stuff.
Lisa [00:50:24]:
I do lots.
Samantha [00:50:24]:
I think your big thing is making Mac and cheese.
Lisa [00:50:27]:
Hey, and. And the character boards. Thank you.
Samantha [00:50:29]:
That. That nobody eats.
Lisa [00:50:31]:
Right. I make beautiful charcuterie.
Samantha [00:50:35]:
You beautiful. No, we can't have this.
Lisa [00:50:38]:
No.
Samantha [00:50:38]:
People listen to this too many times, right, guys? We argue about the lake and what happens. Like, oh, my God.
Lisa [00:50:44]:
Okay, just.
Samantha [00:50:45]:
This is this. The stories never change, Lisa, because you hack at things to make chunks of salami onto a paper plate.
Lisa [00:50:56]:
You hack the cheese. That's my creativity.
Samantha [00:50:59]:
And then you throw a couple crackers.
Lisa [00:51:01]:
On there and a few grapes. Right? And some grapes to make. Add some color.
Samantha [00:51:06]:
You never added fruit.
Lisa [00:51:08]:
Yes. Remember that one time we bought the fruit tray and nobody ate.
Samantha [00:51:12]:
Nobody ate it. That's true.
Lisa [00:51:14]:
Because. Oh, we're going to be healthy.
Samantha [00:51:15]:
Uhhuh.
Lisa [00:51:16]:
Uhhuh. Okay, enough of that. So, sorry. You're right. I'm tapping out. I actually won't help you. Right. I'll be like, sorry, I'm not helping.
Samantha [00:51:25]:
Okay, great. Perfect. Awesome.
Lisa [00:51:27]:
Good, good, good. Hope you're happy. Okay.
Samantha [00:51:31]:
I do. I need some recommendations. Like, I'm being serious. And I don't. I don't. I'm not asking you. Don't be like the friends of the podcast. I'm asking friends of the podcast.
Samantha [00:51:41]:
Guys, I'm looking for a new series to watch, and I'm unsure if I need to go mystery comedy or just outright really strange. But I just. But, Lisa. No, sir, I'm not watching any documentaries, and especially stuff about Osama bin Laden.
Lisa [00:51:55]:
It's really good. It's. It's four Hours. That's it. It's two episodes.
Samantha [00:52:00]:
No offense. Don't care.
Lisa [00:52:01]:
It's really interesting.
Samantha [00:52:03]:
Okay, great.
Lisa [00:52:03]:
Like, there's some good jail shows too. They're really good.
Samantha [00:52:07]:
That either, right?
Lisa [00:52:08]:
Like, like, like Lockup is good.
Samantha [00:52:11]:
No, and I don't want to watch serial killer stuff either, because, you know, I like to sleep.
Lisa [00:52:15]:
I know, but not everybody wants to watch Miss Marple.
Samantha [00:52:18]:
Are you kidding? Everyone should want to watch Agatha Christie, right?
Lisa [00:52:22]:
Or Pourvoir or whoever that is that you like, right? The great Pourvoir.
Samantha [00:52:27]:
Okay, so you're the one who started watching baby reindeer.
Lisa [00:52:34]:
I can't handle it.
Samantha [00:52:35]:
And couldn't get through it.
Lisa [00:52:36]:
I can't handle it. I can't handle the, the, the. The British accent.
Samantha [00:52:42]:
You are so sad.
Lisa [00:52:44]:
And it's weird because I know British people and it doesn't bother me, but on that show, whatever part of Britain they're from, too much accent, right? It's like Adele sometimes, right? Like, ease it up a little.
Samantha [00:52:56]:
Well, you know, I, I found out that Linea, our hairdresser, was watching this and she has gotten to the point where it's like, oh, my God, I can't watch this.
Lisa [00:53:05]:
I got to that episode. I got to that episode too, right? I. Because I, I plowed through it. But then I got to the episode that I'm like, this is the one they talk about. I can't do it either. And then I stopped because it's weird, man. It's weird. And yet it won all the awards, though.
Samantha [00:53:21]:
Hey, yeah, it won all the awards. That's the beauty of it.
Lisa [00:53:24]:
Well, I'm sure somebody from the podcast will give you some great suggestions.
Samantha [00:53:28]:
I hope so, because, you know, sometimes nothing good.
Lisa [00:53:32]:
Beauty of a documentary is learning.
Samantha [00:53:34]:
Oh, damn it. Really?
Lisa [00:53:36]:
Right? You can learn new things.
Samantha [00:53:37]:
I learned from fiction as well.
Lisa [00:53:39]:
Okay, well, just saying, it's make believe, but whatever.
Samantha [00:53:42]:
I learned empathy, compassion, you know, human emotion that you lack.
Lisa [00:53:49]:
TV shows are teaching you that. Okay, I gotta tell you, I got funny. It's funny. I guess my mannerisms must be kind of funny, right? So I was saying a few minutes ago how I'm a cash carrying person, right? I always like cash. So when I'm at work, I always have. I always have money in my pocket and I have change, right? Because I don't know, maybe I'm going to want to buy a pop from the vending machine. I don't know. So I usually have like $5 in coins in my pocket and then I usually have like $10bill in my pocket, right? Because I don't know what the day is going to bring.
Lisa [00:54:19]:
I just like to be prepared. So anyways, I was standing in my boss, boss's office, right? We're just talking and I had my hand in my pocket and I guess I was jingling my coins.
Samantha [00:54:28]:
Oh my God. I was just thinking, please don't say you jingle your coins like an old man, right?
Lisa [00:54:33]:
And she said, who carries coins? And I'm like, this girl does. And then we had a further conversation about it and I'm like, oh my God. If I could have a hanky. I think I'm an old, I think I might be in my past life, I might have been an old. I might have been my grandpa, right? I might have worn like a little fedora, right. Had a little plastic thing in my shirt pocket for my pens and my comb.
Samantha [00:54:58]:
Oh my God, A plast.
Lisa [00:54:59]:
Oh, and had a hanky, a pen, coins in my pocket. And I guess because I was just like playing with the coins and she's like, who has gooks? Duke still carries coins every day. I put coins in my pocket every single day.
Samantha [00:55:13]:
Oh my God. You are my grandpa Sperling. He would always be jingling coins in his pocket as he was walking or standing or whatever.
Lisa [00:55:23]:
I got a set of keys in one pocket and I got coins in the other pocket.
Samantha [00:55:26]:
Oh my God.
Lisa [00:55:27]:
Every day at the end of my day, I take those coins out and I put them in the top drawer of my, of my desk because that's kind of my coin. That's not my chip drawer, it's my coin drawer. So I got coins in there, right? So I always have some coins.
Samantha [00:55:39]:
Oh my God.
Lisa [00:55:40]:
So I think she seemed really surprised that people still carry coins because she's, everything is with her watch, right? She's always watch, watch, watch. And you know, I don't trust myself like that, right. I would be buying for everybody in the line. Watch, watch, watch. Right? Because, because I'm generous like that and a little bit free with, with, with debit cards and, and things like that. Yes. Once I'm done, the money, money's gone.
Samantha [00:56:02]:
Oh my God.
Lisa [00:56:03]:
Yeah. So I think, I think in a past life I was, I, I was somebody's grandpa.
Samantha [00:56:08]:
You were a 70 year old man, right?
Lisa [00:56:10]:
Because I. And then in the other pocket, so I've got coins and keys and the other pocket I always have like a used Kleenex, which would have been a hanky back in the day, right? Yep. So it's weird.
Samantha [00:56:22]:
Oh my God.
Lisa [00:56:23]:
I don't know. I'm sure I make them. I'm sure I make them shake their heads.
Samantha [00:56:27]:
You are an old man.
Lisa [00:56:28]:
I'm an old man at heart. At heart. I'm 85 and I have a donut. Right. I just have side hair and I'm short and a little portly. Right. And I'm wearing my shirt tucked in and not bloused out. Just tucked in.
Samantha [00:56:43]:
Right.
Lisa [00:56:43]:
Because that's what old men did. Yeah, right. I think my name would have been William. Yeah, totally. Isn't that so funny? I don't know. I had to laugh. Okay. The TikTok.
Lisa [00:56:55]:
I don't know why we share a TikTok. We get different things, right. Which is weird. But my TikTok, lately, it's been making me very sentimental. Right. My mom loved Elvis Presley, so. So did we. I love Elvis Presley.
Lisa [00:57:10]:
Went and saw his home, the whole bit, right? On my tiktoks. Thank God. I didn't even know I was missing it until it came back. Elvis and return to sender. Back all over the place. Return descender, address unknown. And he's like, hunka hunka, burning love Elvis in these ones.
Samantha [00:57:30]:
And I was thinking, right, Elvis.
Lisa [00:57:31]:
Oh, it was a hot Elvis. I'm going to say that I think that Elvis Presley in his 60s, like. Like in. In the 60s, was probably the most beautiful man that could ever possibly exist. He's beautiful. Like his eyes, his structure. Oh, my heart. I'm like, oh, God.
Lisa [00:57:50]:
Swooning as I watched the TikTok in bed late at night. And watching Elvis, it's that special that.
Samantha [00:57:57]:
He does when he's dressed all in black leather, right? Sitting and there's people in the round. And he's just got the guitar right.
Lisa [00:58:03]:
He was so easy on the eyes. He was so easy. And I'm so thankful he's back in my TikTok.
Samantha [00:58:11]:
Thank God he's not in my TikTok, right?
Lisa [00:58:13]:
Just happy he's in mine. And it's not the 70s Elvis, it's the 60s. Fine looking Elvis. So excited.
Samantha [00:58:21]:
You know, speaking of the fact that we. We share. We share the TikTok. What's all up in my TikTok is a tick tocker named Colby who works at a hotel. He's a. He cleans rooms.
Lisa [00:58:37]:
Okay.
Samantha [00:58:38]:
He. So he's. He's for this hotel. And it is oddly satisfying because he brings you with him to clean a room.
Lisa [00:58:48]:
Really?
Samantha [00:58:48]:
And he talks you through it. Oh, my God. One people are pigs.
Lisa [00:58:52]:
Oh, that'd be a bad job. Hey, a tough job.
Samantha [00:58:55]:
Oh, my God. Like one room he walked in, I'm like, oh, I would have backed out and said, I ain't doing this.
Lisa [00:59:01]:
Why do people do that? Like, like, why don't people leave their, their rooms neat and tidy?
Samantha [00:59:06]:
No, they don't. It was so disgusting. And like, and these rooms have like a little, they have like, like a fridge and a dishwasher and a sink. Like they have like a mini kitchen.
Lisa [00:59:17]:
Like a little kitchenette type.
Samantha [00:59:18]:
And they don't clean a dish even though there's a dishwasher.
Lisa [00:59:22]:
Wow.
Samantha [00:59:22]:
They don't clean up after themselves. They don't put their garbage away. It's so disgusting.
Lisa [00:59:26]:
That's so horrible. And that's so demeaning to Colby, to col. Right.
Samantha [00:59:31]:
Colby is, he cleans a room and he, he can make a bed like.
Lisa [00:59:36]:
That, like the fitted sheet and everything.
Samantha [00:59:38]:
It is beautiful work that he does.
Lisa [00:59:40]:
I think whoever invented the fitted sheet needs to go rot in hell.
Samantha [00:59:44]:
But he, the way he does it, it's like almost like ASMR for cleaning a hotel room. Cuz he's, he's got like keys or something around his neck. So he's always jingling and he's always telling us what he's doing. And I am f fascinated.
Lisa [00:59:57]:
Wow.
Samantha [00:59:58]:
By what he does.
Lisa [00:59:59]:
Really?
Samantha [01:00:00]:
And I'm like, wow, how did I get, how did this happen to show up on my tick tock? But that's weird. I like Colby and people should go, you know, if you're fascinated.
Lisa [01:00:10]:
Are we just, are we just searching Colby?
Samantha [01:00:12]:
No. It just pops up.
Lisa [01:00:14]:
Huh. Well, it's odd we share a tick tock.
Samantha [01:00:17]:
I've never seen Colby, but he was just really good. And I'm just like. And all I got from it was one, he can clean a room. Two, you know, pigs. People are pigs.
Lisa [01:00:27]:
Nice. I've been feeling a little like Gen Xish lately. Right. And I just wanted to. It got me thinking about things that have silently, silently disappeared. Right. Payphones. Remember payphones? The dirtiest things in the world.
Lisa [01:00:46]:
The filthiest things. Eh? Remember just going into a payphone and checking to see if there was any coins. You'd always check to see if there was a dime in there because you might be able to get a candy or something. You remember? So I, I, I, I very well remember missing people on milk cartons.
Samantha [01:01:04]:
Yeah. That was big in the 80s.
Lisa [01:01:05]:
Yeah. Why did we stop advertising for them?
Samantha [01:01:07]:
I don't know.
Lisa [01:01:08]:
Because they're still missing people.
Samantha [01:01:11]:
I think that we have a better system.
Lisa [01:01:12]:
You think there's a better system than the milk carton? Yes. I once, I once got my dad a mug and it said happiness is seeing your mother in law's face on a milk carton.
Samantha [01:01:24]:
Oh my God.
Lisa [01:01:25]:
I have the mug now. He gave it to me last summer and he's like, I'm giving this back to you. And I'm like oh my God. And I was, when I bought him that mug, cause that's like, that's, that's a bad mug, right? I was like, like, I was like probably like like 10. So it wasn't like I was an adult. And it was like haha, remember nanny? It was like I was a kid still living in the nanny years, remember? You know, nanny, right. So it got me thinking about that.
Samantha [01:01:51]:
Oh my God.
Lisa [01:01:51]:
Did you used to have a cool ringtone on your cell phone?
Samantha [01:01:55]:
Yeah, but there's still ringtones on stuff.
Lisa [01:01:57]:
Yeah, but now everybody has the same ringtone. Everybody just uses the manufactured ringtone.
Samantha [01:02:03]:
Well that's true.
Lisa [01:02:04]:
Right. I wouldn't even know where to look for a ringtone on my cell phone actually.
Samantha [01:02:07]:
Oh my God.
Lisa [01:02:08]:
No, I wouldn't even know that.
Samantha [01:02:09]:
That's not very Gen X though.
Lisa [01:02:11]:
Well, I guess it's not really. What about free standing newspaper stands where you could get a newspaper outside?
Samantha [01:02:17]:
They don't exist.
Lisa [01:02:18]:
Girl likes a good newspaper, right?
Samantha [01:02:20]:
I know.
Lisa [01:02:21]:
Now they're not outside. And my favorite, layaway, right? Remember layaway? You put something on layaway and you pay a little bit each month and in 15 years you might be able to afford it. New washer. Somebody brought layaway back when layaway came back.
Samantha [01:02:36]:
Uh huh. Somebody's doing layaway again.
Lisa [01:02:39]:
Really?
Samantha [01:02:40]:
Yeah. Who was it? Who was it?
Lisa [01:02:44]:
Interesting.
Samantha [01:02:45]:
Oh, I can't remember now.
Lisa [01:02:46]:
Huh.
Samantha [01:02:46]:
And I was like, oh, we're trying that again are we?
Lisa [01:02:49]:
Okay, I say keep layaway away.
Samantha [01:02:51]:
Is that a good idea? It's a lot of work in this economy. Like to lay away things or to like make.
Lisa [01:02:57]:
Because remember we used to have layaway, remember in the clothing store we worked at? So then people would lay away knowing that there was a sale coming up and then they'd come pick it up when it was on sale. Right. And then you'd have to phone them and say it's time for your layaways coming due.
Samantha [01:03:11]:
And then they would come and cancel it.
Lisa [01:03:12]:
Yeah.
Samantha [01:03:13]:
And then they would buy their stuff on sale.
Lisa [01:03:15]:
Right? On sale. Or they'd re put it back on.
Samantha [01:03:17]:
Layaway until the sale.
Lisa [01:03:19]:
Until the sale. Because people knew when the sale was. Right. People are sneaky.
Samantha [01:03:24]:
If you can't buy your clothes, then you should not be buying them.
Lisa [01:03:26]:
You shouldn't be buying them. Right. People were sneaky back then, though. What do I have to say?
Samantha [01:03:31]:
What about prizes and cereal boxes? Do people still do that?
Lisa [01:03:34]:
Are there still prizes? Remember you'd take your dirty old hand and you'd root through all the cereal to get it.
Samantha [01:03:40]:
Crappy little plastic prize, right?
Lisa [01:03:42]:
You didn't, like, like, like you didn't wash that hand. You didn't care if you just wiped the milk off your face. Oh, get the prize in that hand. Went into the box, made the box fatter than it needed to be. Because your big hands in there have up to your elbow trying to get the prize before a sibling found the prize. Right.
Samantha [01:03:59]:
For sure.
Lisa [01:03:59]:
Yeah, I remember that too. That was kind of fun. Oh, days you remember in the magazines where you could, like, draw. There was like a monkey you could try and draw or like a, like a little guy and like. And then if you did, you had talent, right? If you could draw him, you could send it in and you could get. You like, you'd get like a prize because you have talent.
Samantha [01:04:18]:
You have talent.
Lisa [01:04:19]:
Yeah, we never did that, though. We never did it because we didn't have talent like that.
Samantha [01:04:23]:
No, no.
Lisa [01:04:23]:
McIntyre came with no. Came with no talent.
Samantha [01:04:27]:
Yeah, you. You can't sing and you can't dance, so you sing.
Lisa [01:04:30]:
And I'm not crafty. I have zero talent.
Samantha [01:04:32]:
Right.
Lisa [01:04:34]:
Yeah, yeah, I know that. I know, I know.
Samantha [01:04:37]:
Okay, I got a question.
Lisa [01:04:39]:
Okay.
Samantha [01:04:40]:
If the 80s had its smell, what would it be?
Lisa [01:04:43]:
Polo by Ralph Lauren.
Samantha [01:04:45]:
Oh, I was gonna say hairspray.
Lisa [01:04:47]:
Or I would say it's. It's a scent. So I like. I remember Polo by Ralph Lauren. Obsession.
Samantha [01:04:54]:
Oh, yes.
Lisa [01:04:55]:
Right. And it was all male perfumes.
Samantha [01:04:58]:
Yes. The. The males were really big into the spritz.
Lisa [01:05:01]:
Young boys trying to hide their smells, bathe themselves in. Right. Be all like, polo smells like Polo. Because everybody's dad had a fancy bottle, right? Yep. Yeah, my dad had. I think my dad was a polo dad. Or he might have been Obsession. I don't know.
Lisa [01:05:18]:
Now I don't think men care.
Samantha [01:05:20]:
No, I think they do. I think they just have a wider range of things to choose.
Lisa [01:05:24]:
Do you think? Or do you think.
Samantha [01:05:25]:
Oh, my God. Drac Noir. Do you remember Drac Noir? Noir, Dracula, Corona or whatever.
Lisa [01:05:31]:
Yeah, that would be the other one. The other smell of the 80s, right? Right.
Samantha [01:05:36]:
And the girls just smelled like hairspray.
Lisa [01:05:37]:
We just smell like. We just smell like Aquanet. Right. That's all. We just smell like that. We just smell like Like a lot of stink. Hey, totally. Maybe a little skin.
Lisa [01:05:48]:
So soft.
Samantha [01:05:49]:
Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. That brings me a little bit that.
Lisa [01:05:53]:
Okay. But now that we're into the 80s, right, I always feel that men kind of escaped the horrible fashion faux pas of the 80s, right? That's kind of my. My thought process because, like, we think of all the women we think of, you know, we tried to look like Madonna. We tried to have all the. All the this, all that, right? But men didn't. They didn't escape it. Because I don't know about your high school, but in my high school, all the guys in the 80s had the crop. The athletic crop top on and the short gym shorts and the white cube socks.
Lisa [01:06:24]:
So half their belly was showing. Right. Because they were athletic. And I saw a picture of it someplace the other day, and I'm like, oh, God, I feel that's worse than neon. Guys.
Samantha [01:06:36]:
You know what? I think that guys dressed just as interestingly as women did in the 80s. I mean, everyone was competing to how big their hair could get, depending on what kind of, you know, guys were getting perms. Yes. Oh, my God.
Lisa [01:06:51]:
That about.
Samantha [01:06:53]:
Yes. They used as much hairspray as a girl.
Lisa [01:06:55]:
Totally. Right. I think I just remember that. I thought it was kind of funny.
Samantha [01:06:59]:
Guys, you know, people were making some fashionable.
Lisa [01:07:03]:
Right.
Samantha [01:07:03]:
Some questionable fashion choices.
Lisa [01:07:05]:
Fashion faux pas, for sure.
Samantha [01:07:07]:
But I mean, it was fun because you got to experiment. And we wore crazy colors and weird and ripped this and ripped that.
Lisa [01:07:15]:
Nobody cared.
Samantha [01:07:16]:
Nobody cared.
Lisa [01:07:17]:
Nobody cared. It was kind of nice, right? It's kind of nice how we played, folks.
Samantha [01:07:21]:
And now we're just boring Gen Xers just trying to get through life, right?
Lisa [01:07:24]:
Just trying to get through life and not get too obsessed about our sexual positions and our ice cream flavors.
Samantha [01:07:32]:
Well, because. Okay, so now we just have anxiety around that. Now we have anxiety. Sex positions and ice creams.
Lisa [01:07:38]:
One more thing to have anxiety over.
Samantha [01:07:40]:
One more thing to think about. Oh, my God, I have so much anxiety.
Lisa [01:07:43]:
Right?
Samantha [01:07:43]:
But I think we've created a very anxious society, right?
Lisa [01:07:47]:
Why do you feel that?
Samantha [01:07:48]:
Well, because there's too many choices. Like, look at the flavors of ice cream.
Lisa [01:07:51]:
Oh, my God.
Samantha [01:07:52]:
Now all the different sex positions that there are.
Lisa [01:07:55]:
Look at all the sex positions.
Samantha [01:07:57]:
Now we all just. Just do it one way. And now there's a hundred different ways.
Lisa [01:08:01]:
Maybe. Maybe on a good night you'd bring out the number two way, but everybody's pretty happy with the one way.
Samantha [01:08:08]:
Well, and now there's things like, I can wear a mask. You can tie me Up. I've got a little, little whip.
Lisa [01:08:15]:
There's just. You know more about this world than I do, and that's weird and creepy. Oh, it's because you read porn books, right? You like the back door, apparently. My God, stop it.
Samantha [01:08:28]:
Oh, my God.
Lisa [01:08:29]:
That's what I think. But I just. Everything's got too many choices.
Samantha [01:08:33]:
Well, it's just a lot of choices, right? Like, it's. Even phones. You go and you buy a new phone. Oh, I just. I don't know what will work. Like.
Lisa [01:08:40]:
Oh, toothpaste. Like, there's so many choices in toothpaste. Do you want your teeth white? Kind of white. A little bit white. Not too white. Keep them yellow, like. Right. Crest.
Lisa [01:08:49]:
Keep them yellow. Toothpaste. Crest. Like, it's like, oh, my God. I don't know. Right. It's like.
Samantha [01:08:53]:
It's too much glasses.
Lisa [01:08:55]:
Yeah.
Samantha [01:08:56]:
Too many choices.
Lisa [01:08:57]:
Yeah, you're right. You're right. We. And we. We own this. We have to own this because we did this. Right? We totally did this.
Samantha [01:09:05]:
We're consuming it. And now people just think we now have to have everything. And it's like, do we need to have everything?
Lisa [01:09:10]:
I don't know.
Samantha [01:09:11]:
Maybe. I don't know.
Lisa [01:09:12]:
Maybe. Right. We're trying.
Samantha [01:09:14]:
Or are we paralyzed because of the choices that we have?
Lisa [01:09:16]:
I don't know. I like. I like choices. I don't want to not have choices.
Samantha [01:09:21]:
All right, Lisa, we're going to roll into some social media stuff. We're going to talk about what happened on Facebook.
Lisa [01:09:27]:
We've been busy on Facebook, Samantha.
Samantha [01:09:29]:
We have been very busy.
Lisa [01:09:31]:
It's so fun. I love Facebook. Right. Because it's very interactive, and people. People. People like to come out and play.
Samantha [01:09:37]:
They do like to come out and play. And this Sunday was no exception. We talked about what winter foods and what are summer foods. Because Lisa has a continual obsession.
Lisa [01:09:48]:
Because you. You've made me believe. No, listen. No, listen. You made me believe that only I have this issue, and that's not true.
Samantha [01:09:58]:
There was at least five people who answered your Facebook question.
Lisa [01:10:02]:
Right. Right. So I'm not crazy.
Samantha [01:10:06]:
No. Because Karen believes that only. Only corn is best in the summer. Or barbecue corn. Yes, it's best in the summer. And my mother thought her husband's potato salad was also the best in the summer, and I would have to agree with that.
Lisa [01:10:21]:
You don't eat it in the winter.
Samantha [01:10:23]:
No.
Lisa [01:10:23]:
Because it's a food.
Samantha [01:10:25]:
Yes. But Kathy was a little radical, and she said she eats soup on a cold summer's day.
Lisa [01:10:30]:
I don't understand that Kathy.
Samantha [01:10:32]:
But she did agree that stew tastes better in the winter. And chili, she felt, could be either or. Yeah. But watermelon definitely only a summer food.
Lisa [01:10:41]:
Right. I feel Kathy's all over the place. Feel she's not committing.
Samantha [01:10:43]:
She's all over the place. She's willy nilly.
Lisa [01:10:45]:
Yeah. She's not committing. Right. She's. She's not taking Lisa's side. She's not taking Sam's side. She's pleasing us both.
Samantha [01:10:51]:
But Haley was also a little controversial because she liked pasta all year round.
Lisa [01:10:58]:
Right. She just changes the sauce up.
Samantha [01:11:02]:
Yes.
Lisa [01:11:02]:
She goes to a lighter sauce in the summer. It's still. It's a hot pasta. Hot, hot pasta. Ugh. Not in the pasta. Pasta, pasta, pasta, pasta, pasta. We're never gonna get to that.
Samantha [01:11:19]:
No.
Lisa [01:11:19]:
On anything ever. Rarely. Right. But Facebook Tuesday, we decided to talk about kind of like summer ice cream, cold type of treats. Right. We had the cold brew. We had the slurpee. We had a banana split, a strawberry shortcake.
Lisa [01:11:38]:
We had frozen yogurt. And what was the other. We had homemade popsicles. Right. So what the world hates the most, and I agree, is they hate a cold brew. And not loving a cold brew. I like my coffee hot. Exactly.
Samantha [01:11:54]:
Exactly.
Lisa [01:11:54]:
Don't understand the whole cold brew thing. People think Slurpees are too sweet. Which is okay because we're probably kind of past our Slurpee years, aren't we?
Samantha [01:12:03]:
No, I still.
Lisa [01:12:04]:
No, you. Not you. You're not. You're never.
Samantha [01:12:06]:
No, I still like at least one in a summer to kind of, you know. But it's small now. It's, like tiny.
Lisa [01:12:13]:
Right. Like I like a Slush puppy or a Mr. Misty.
Samantha [01:12:17]:
Yes. Because you're 102.
Lisa [01:12:19]:
Right. Like, I like that type of thing.
Samantha [01:12:21]:
And who eats a. Who drinks, eats a Mr. Misty. This girl does that.
Lisa [01:12:27]:
This girl. Oh, Love it so much. Right. And. Or a Slush Puppy. And they also didn't love homemade popsicles. I know. You know, it was all over the place.
Lisa [01:12:38]:
One person, two people didn't like the banana split. People don't love us. Like, why don't people love a strawberry shortcake? What is strawberry shortcake done to people? Like, for it? Like. Like, it's. It's. It's non invasive. It's some foam, it's some strawberries, and it's some whipped cream. What? Have what? And there might.
Lisa [01:12:59]:
Was there pie? Did we have a pie on there? A cobbler?
Samantha [01:13:01]:
You did not have it? No.
Lisa [01:13:02]:
Nope. Nope. That was a different one. I was thinking about doing that it.
Samantha [01:13:05]:
Was a different one.
Lisa [01:13:05]:
Okay, yeah, maybe that's next week's.
Samantha [01:13:07]:
I don't know.
Lisa [01:13:08]:
Just saying cold blue, cold brews and Slurpees were the big.
Samantha [01:13:13]:
Huh.
Lisa [01:13:14]:
Right. I get it.
Samantha [01:13:15]:
I'm. I, I mean, I get it. I understand Slurpee. I get the cold.
Lisa [01:13:19]:
But you like a cold. You like a cold coffee.
Samantha [01:13:21]:
I liked iced coffee.
Lisa [01:13:22]:
You like hot coffee cold.
Samantha [01:13:24]:
Uh huh.
Lisa [01:13:25]:
Which is weird, right? I know. I'm going to be honest. Right? Like, I feel, I could. I feel iced coffee probably would make me throw up, so I. I stay away from it.
Samantha [01:13:35]:
Why would it make you.
Lisa [01:13:36]:
Because it's iced coffee and it sounds disgusting. So. So I err on the side of caution and I keep it away from my life.
Samantha [01:13:42]:
Okay, no offense, but if you fill it full of sugary things, you would love a cold brew.
Lisa [01:13:47]:
No, I don't want the taste of cold coffee. I feel I could maybe be allergic to it. Almost like I think I would throw up. Like honey, but not hot. Honey seems different.
Samantha [01:13:58]:
Okay.
Lisa [01:13:58]:
Right. So I'm just saying. Right. So I'm, I'm actually never going to participate in a cold brew.
Samantha [01:14:04]:
Oh my God.
Lisa [01:14:05]:
Right? I'm 55. If I haven't tried it by now, I feel I'm not missing out.
Samantha [01:14:12]:
Like so many things in your life, Lisa.
Lisa [01:14:14]:
Right. That's just how I feel. Right.
Samantha [01:14:16]:
All right. Okay.
Lisa [01:14:17]:
So there'll be no rocky road in my life. And there'll be no cold brew either.
Samantha [01:14:24]:
Oh, my God.
Lisa [01:14:25]:
Okay.
Samantha [01:14:26]:

Lisa [01:15:08]:
Last week he didn't have a tough time. This week we have had a little challenge.
Samantha [01:15:12]:
Well, I've had a slight challenge.
Lisa [01:15:13]:
Right. We had a little slight. Oh, got so close to being done. Right. Just a little setback. But that's okay, right? He is the best kept secret. So let the best kept secret work his magic. Right?
Samantha [01:15:25]:
That's true.
Lisa [01:15:26]:
Okay. I gotta tell you, right? So I am first place in baseball still.
Samantha [01:15:31]:
Oh, God.
Lisa [01:15:32]:
But I'm off to a tough start. These Monday, Tuesday have not been my best games. Right. So I don't know. Right. I think I'm 8 and 1 now. Right. So I've only lost one.
Lisa [01:15:42]:
And there's still another guy that's trailing me. He's 8 and 1 also. And then there's a 7 and 2 this week. I'm playing 7 and 2. So it's a little challenging. Right.
Samantha [01:15:50]:
Okay. Yeah.
Lisa [01:15:51]:
Right. Just trying to hang on. Right. Trying to hang on and win it all for us, Samantha. Win the free no claim to fame noise. Right. That there is. Right.
Lisa [01:16:04]:
Anything else you want to talk about?
Samantha [01:16:06]:
No.
Lisa [01:16:06]:
You're done.
Samantha [01:16:08]:
I am.
Lisa [01:16:08]:
I'm kind of done with you. Kinda. Just a little bit.
Samantha [01:16:13]:
All right.
Lisa [01:16:14]:
It's been enough for one day.
Samantha [01:16:15]:
Yes. Lisa.
Lisa [01:16:16]:
Right. All right, Samantha. Turn that frown upside down. Smile. All right, Samantha. Always a pleasure.
Samantha [01:16:26]:
Yeah, it should be.
Lisa [01:16:38]:
Who's a pretty girl? I'm a pretty girl.
