We need to get a brunch. I want to get litty cat, but I want to get litty cat on mocks and you get the real cock.
Speaker 2:Okay, I'll get a babysitter. I'm always getting that real cock. This is such a good feeling. I love fall Right. It's my favorite time of the year. I'm sorry that it's a little rough for you though.
Speaker 1:Well, hey, you know I got to live like you like, appreciate like I'm back in the seasons like I should be excited you haven't cycled through all the seasons yet with this breakup.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because this was a serious relationship that you were in and right I'm like it's been seven months, like he's good, but you really haven't cycled through the seasons that's what it is yeah you are so right.
Speaker 1:Like listeria, can it can take up to 10 weeks for some people develop symptoms. What, yes, no, 10 weeks, oh, that's to develop symptoms?
Speaker 2:What? Yes, no, 10 weeks. Oh, that's terrifying. You were just being a little bit of a fake asshole.
Speaker 1:Do you think I subconsciously did it, to like fuck with you? Yeah, why did I do what I did? And then I realized like no, I'm definitely top two. My grandfather is like 91 and he was like he saw a pool of blood when she fell.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh, I'm not here to control you or tell you how to be, or how to handle situations.
Speaker 1:You treat me like your husband.
Speaker 2:sometimes it's not my business like what you do. But, I just felt a little bit betrayed in a weird way. Yesterday it was a Mormon girl and she told me that she did dabble with it in like college or whatever.
Speaker 2:Alcohol and weed and caffeine like kind of rebelled from the mormon lifestyle so she saw what it was like saw what it was like and she said nothing was better than when she stopped all of it, because she felt like she was her old self again. You know when you're like a kid and you just don't need any of that stuff she just felt happy and like herself, as she was when she was a child. I have ways to keep myself safe. I don't need to like disclose that here, yeah you know self-defense Well.
Speaker 1:Cheers to keeping yourself safe.
Speaker 2:Hey, there it's Kelly Musgorski.
Speaker 1:And this is Ryan Frankerski. And this is Ryan Frankerski, and this is Ryan Frankerski.
Speaker 2:So today, what do you have? So I remember last time you had bubbles, this was on like episode one or two.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:And it exploded everywhere.
Speaker 1:I know, and we had a nice little time. That was when we were getting a little messy talking about the breakup. And now we are seven months in. Oh my gosh, I think we need an update on the breakup. Oh my God, I'm wearing my Penn State gear here. You know, I graduated from Penn State. La la, la, la, la, la la la. You know me talking about it, but it is fall and I'm really missing watching football, are you okay?
Speaker 2:oh, I just um, I'm gonna. A part of the cork was in the wine oh, and I just wasn't expecting it.
Speaker 1:Did you eat a bit of that cork?
Speaker 2:It felt like a hard rock. So I was like, what is this? Did glass break?
Speaker 1:I know that's not good. You don't want to cut yourself. You've been having a little bit of a week. You know it's been busy. I think me too I have like these clients that are, you know, just really busy. They're trying to jump on something. The hard part about like this market right now is the interest rates.
Speaker 2:are everybody's waiting for them to just like tank or even I don't know, but once the interest rates go down it's going to be a more competitive market. Prices could go up. So I don't really think that there's. I know you got to jump on something right now for a deal, right.
Speaker 1:And you notice stuff that is like priced right or priced slightly lower. They're getting multiple offers and then stuff that's priced a little bit too high is just sitting.
Speaker 2:See if we found the perfect place right now. You know we are looking for land. I know, right now we live in a neighborhood and we want at least five acres and we would definitely pounce because you know the interest rates.
Speaker 1:They do suck but you can refinance when they go down. Yes, and I know that this is not a real estate podcast but we both are passionate about it. I'm a new realtor, but working in, like you know, property management. You come from a real estate family grandma, trudy and grandpa were realtor.
Speaker 2:I always thought I would do. I just haven't gotten to it yet.
Speaker 1:I'm going to convince you. One of these days, I will Mark my word. Well, you know, it's so funny. I was in this training program for like two weeks as, like you know, a new agent and there's a lot of people that know your cousin.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah. Yeah, everybody knows my cousin Matt McKenna, you yeah everybody knows my cousin Matt McKenna.
Speaker 1:You know we gave him a little bit of shit on the pod with Katie, but she was hilarious, the designer Katie McKenna. She was cracking me up. I mean she's definitely bold, beautiful and, you know, not afraid to say what's on her mind.
Speaker 2:No, it's one of my favorite episodes thus far it's a very good message. I'll say I didn't really do much talking in that episode.
Speaker 1:Oh shit, you which I'll say, I didn't really do much talking in that episode. Oh shit, you were making me feel like I was like Mr what.
Speaker 2:You know what happened. It was such a good episode and everything she was saying was so interesting that I was just like absorbing it and eating it up. And then you kind of turned into Andy Cohen.
Speaker 1:Trying to like take your, you know.
Speaker 2:So I just kind of sat back and enjoyed I know and listen.
Speaker 1:You look fabulous. Let's open up that bottle. Let's open it up. We got the Eves Zeeves. I cannot pronounce shit.
Speaker 2:Do you want me to try? Yes, please pronounce it for me. It is the Eves Zeeves Zero. I don't know, it's really weird font.
Speaker 1:I'm not going to lie so we did this last time and we could not figure it out for the life of us.
Speaker 2:Sparkling Riesling and it's non-alcoholic. Alcohol removed white wine. Last time you had something like this, it did explode. That was when you were going through like a crazy breakup. Yes and now seven months later, you're doing really well.
Speaker 1:I am. There are these moments like when I talk about, like you know, wearing the Penn State gear, like I would always watch football, in the fall with this ex oh, I didn't know you did that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay. We liked our football for the fall, so you liked watching college football.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean maybe for, like you know, the hotties on the field, but I think it was. I cannot get on board with the college football.
Speaker 2:It's like I'm gonna watch the steelers, I'm gonna watch the nfl, but I just cannot. I can't, you can't get into it.
Speaker 1:You know some people like it better because there's not so many penalties and these like politics that are involved with the professional teams like the steelers nfl. But you know, when they watch the college football they feel like the game moves faster and, like you know, the players are just like a little bit more, like on equal level playing field, if you will, because they're in their 20s.
Speaker 1:I hear you, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know or maybe they're not like the best of the best, they're still, like you know you're watching like a real game, like you really don't know, like sometimes with these older teams or these teams like the browns or the bills, the buffalo bills, like they've never really been that good, yeah. So you're always kind of aware like who's the underdog and who's the better team, right, the professionals, right. But with the college teams, like I think it's a little bit more exciting because you really don't know, like these students are going in and out of school and they're all in their 20s, they're in the best shape of their lives. They should be playing at, like you know, top tier, but I think it's just this time of year.
Speaker 2:It's a little sad because that was our thing and, like the leaves like it's getting a little chilly, turning, it's starting to feel like fall. I hear you, I've been like getting those fall vibes, I step outside. I I've been sleeping with the windows open at night because it's dropping down into the 50s high 50s and 60s and it just is such a good feeling. I love fall. It's my favorite time of the year. I'm sorry that it's a little rough for you though.
Speaker 1:Well, hey, I got to live like you appreciate. I'm back in the seasons. I should be excited.
Speaker 2:You haven't cycled through all the seasons yet with this breakup yeah, because this was a serious relationship that you were in and right I'm like it's been seven months like he's good, but you really haven't cycled through the seasons that's what it is yeah you are so right, like I'm like, why am I feeling a certain way?
Speaker 1:like I know, I've been hanging out with couples nonstop.
Speaker 2:That's is that is that kind of annoying Like as a single man?
Speaker 1:You know what? I don't think it's as hard as a man as it would be my, my girlfriends that are single. I think it's harder for them because they really like maybe want the relationship. As a single guy, you're kind of like, hey, like you know, I can hang out with couples like no big deal, as long as they're not like being like all lovey dovey and like all over each other. Because I think if you and Ryan, like you've been together for 10 years, and even my brother and his wife, it's like you guys aren't like all over each other, but newly into couples, like new people that are dating I think that would be annoying if I'm hanging out with a bunch of people that are newly dating yeah, just like too much pda.
Speaker 2:I know you're not supposed to say it when you're tired, but I'm tired today, so I'm trying to perk up, we gotta perk you up.
Speaker 1:You want a little bit of, but you need to try the bubbles um, yeah, is it not good to mix?
Speaker 2:no, I can mix it. Go ahead, put a little in there.
Speaker 1:It is from the Zero Proof, which is a company that's. I actually heard him on a podcast. He was with the owner of the meatball shop. I don't know if you ever went to the meatball shop when you visited me in New York.
Speaker 2:Oh no, I didn't get a chance to. Okay, well, yeah, he was just, we were too hungover, I think I know we were always brunching and doing the bottomless mimosas. Yeah okay, seriously, you could give this to people at a party and they wouldn't even know. And you could see who gets the placebo effect, because this tastes legit I know I could totally get like toasted on this that's good, that's very good.
Speaker 1:A plus yep, it is 20 calories. We don't really care about the calories per serving, but this is the thing four grams of sugar that's perfect. Four grams of sugar per serving. That is an a plus you know what?
Speaker 2:it doesn't taste too sugar, I hate that sugar aftertaste that you get when you have too much sugar. It's like disgusting, I can't. I can't do it anymore. I guess it's because I'm like in my 30s now.
Speaker 1:But my um grandma recently fell and she's 88. It's a little bit scary but, like you know, she wasn't drinking normally. She likes to have a couple cocktails, you know, on a weekend, or a couple beers, but you know we are just so grateful that she is doing better. I think it's scary and, like you know, you even telling me about like what you had gone through with like your grandma.
Speaker 1:It's like it is just like you have to just jump and be able to kind of, you know, go see them at like wherever they are, and like, spend as much time as possible, because that's really scary. I mean, my grandfather is like 91 and he was like he saw a pool of blood when she fell, oh my gosh. So she cut herself and she has stitches on her eye. She's 88. And luckily she's doing like a hundred percent better. I mean, she does have bruising and she jokes about it. She's like well, I'm ready for Halloween.
Speaker 2:Oh, I love her. Yeah, I'm glad that she doesn't have any like brain injuries from the fall no, that's really scary that like there was blood, but luckily it's just because she cut her face and I know you just you did show me a picture and it's hard to see her like that, but I know she's gonna make a good recovery and um it, just it really makes you realize that you, you need to just soak up every moment you can with them and we talked about this, I was like I thank god that I really there was.
Speaker 1:An important part of moving home was to spend as much time as I can with my grandparents not only my parents, I mean like they're younger, youngish, but it's like you as well, like you get to have that relationship with your, your children, your children get to have the relationship with their grandparents now, yeah, you've moved home, yeah and I think that's so important.
Speaker 1:But I guess, if you're like really destined to live in like I don't know, a certain part, like I could see people wanting to be out west with the mountains and the skiing oh my gosh.
Speaker 2:Yes, no judgment at all. I mean, it was just a non-negotiable thing. Whenever we had children, I just I needed them to be around their grandparents.
Speaker 1:They have all of them here still and it's not just for the free babysitting right.
Speaker 2:Well, it's absolutely. That's a big part of it.
Speaker 1:But you know, I just I I want to raise family oriented children yeah, so you got mad at me about something yesterday and I was like shit like I get it because my best friend, so like I consider, you know, within the top five besties um.
Speaker 1:I know I'm definitely top two I know you are okay, so anyways, I will say the one other friend and there is no comparison, male, female, whatever, my male best friend. He called me out one time when I did something that I was like shit. I guess I didn't even think of it, I was, I don't know why, but I, and it was a similar experience to what you and me had just gone through yesterday I do apologize like I don't.
Speaker 2:I'm not here to control you or tell you how to be or how to handle situations.
Speaker 1:You treat me like your husband, sometimes Like you're supposed to try to control me too. I do.
Speaker 2:You love that control? I guess so, but I realize that it's wrong and I do apologize. Your work, husband, it's not my business like what you do.
Speaker 1:But I just felt a little bit betrayed in a weird way yesterday. Well, you are sensitive and I think what I'm learning now and you could even talk to somebody else um, I am really insensitive oh, you are like 100. I don't.
Speaker 2:I don't like that about my bother me like, and I'm not as sensitive as you think.
Speaker 1:I am or say I am.
Speaker 2:I can be, though you were just being a little bit of a fake asshole to somebody.
Speaker 1:Do you think I subconsciously did it to fuck with you?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I kind of do oh shit.
Speaker 1:Okay, all right, part of me was trying to dissect it. I'm like, why did I do what I did? And then I realized, like I I did try to describe it in a really professional message to you this morning okay, was that chat gbt?
Speaker 2:yes it was, I was, I didn't, I didn't, did I answer, I was like you were responding to this bullshit. It's chat, gbt, and I know that you put in like your thoughts and then the chat gbt like so you knew that it was way too professional. I knew and I was like what the fuck is this? So then you called me and I was like, okay, now I can talk to the real ryan, that's not like a robot fuck, I hate this because it's so addicting like I never really like.
Speaker 1:I got the app like months ago and then now working in real estate, I'm like, oh wow, it makes my job so much more efficient. If I like, put all like the thoughts and even our podcast descriptions yeah it's so easy to just implement like hey, because we're not the best with like so let's cut to the chase, because I think people are curious.
Speaker 2:You, I have an enemy, yes, and you kind of were like a little too cool with them, yes, so I got a little upset this is good to talk about. I'm just gonna say right now I just felt a little betrayed. If, if, if someone is my enemy and you're gonna be all fake nice to them, then I feel that you're betraying me am I out of line comment below if I'm out of line so, yes, I actually agree with you when you say it like that.
Speaker 1:I didn't even think of it as an enemy because I guess, yeah, you're right, because they came up to me yeah did I cut this? I don't think so.
Speaker 2:No okay, all right does it look like it it just looks like maybe you did a little cut. It looks good. I just was it like that before, no I definitely didn't cut it looks good. Look at this hair. You've got like fair, like farrah faucet hair you think? Is that her name? Farrah faucet?
Speaker 1:yeah, um, you know what I think it is? I think it's just like whenever I actually wash it.
Speaker 2:Finally it's like this beautiful waves? Have you heard about the boars had meat thing?
Speaker 1:What happened?
Speaker 2:There's been several recalls over the past couple months and basically a facility. Was it in Virginia? I think it was their facility in Virginia.
Speaker 1:Yeah, is there a way you could pull it up? I'm going to see.
Speaker 2:They found, like it was, bugs and mold and all sorts of health violations at the facility. Seven people have died what from eating boar's head meat.
Speaker 1:Seven people, seven people have died and they've confirmed it it's confirmed, and many more hospitalized um my if God, if we can pull up an article, we should.
Speaker 2:This needs to be talked about, because I'm like I was already weird about lunch meat.
Speaker 1:Like I really don't do lunch meat Like it doesn't look like a piece of meat right Like it's like there's nothing on an animal that looks like that.
Speaker 2:There's nitrates in it and it's got way too many and nitrates cause cancer it and it's got too many cancer.
Speaker 1:Well, and I do think to myself like growing up with nancy and stan frankowski. It was all about lunch meat and I'm sure a lot of those people from that generation are grandparents oh, I grew up eating lunch meat every day you did oh my gosh. Yeah, that's like what my mom packed for me to eat at school I know, and it's weird to think about like that, causing all these health problems.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, I do steer clear for the most part. Did you find it?
Speaker 1:Yes, it says that a boar's head liverwurst sample tested positive for the outbreak strain of listeria.
Speaker 2:Listeria.
Speaker 1:I am like so embarrassed when I try to pronounce things, but anyway um, I support you for trying.
Speaker 2:Like, thank you for trying, I know, and there's no shame, yeah, everyone loves it, you know and just you know, not as uh bright as the next you have your strengths and you have your weaknesses, just like everyone else does.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, listeria and um listeria in the testing last month in maryland health department, prompting the expanded recall 18 states. Where were the 57 cases in the last outbreak took place, including arizona, florida, georgia, illinois, indiana, maryland, massachusetts, minnesota, missouri, new jersey, new, but I mean pennsylvania. The first case was reported on may 29th of 2024. Oh man, the last occurred on august 16th yeah, wow, some people are suing boar's head that's's many months.
Speaker 2:I mean they had plenty of time to get their shit together, yeah, and they didn't.
Speaker 1:Even when it was refrigerated, it can last up to 10 weeks. Listeria can. It can take up to 10 weeks for some people to develop symptoms. What yes? No 10 weeks up to. Oh, that's terrifying. I know Bacteria contaminates many foods. You know a third leading cause of death from foodborne illness in the U? S each year an estimated of 1600 Americans are infected with listeria and 260 die from it. Whoa, that's crazy to think about, but I guess 260 in the United States.
Speaker 2:That's why, when you're pregnant, they say don't eat like lunch meat, don't eat soft cheeses. These are all things that can be infected with it yeah, you don't always um. I I guess not everybody gets sick from it right, so sometimes when you're pregnant, you have a weakened immune system.
Speaker 1:Pregnant and 65 and over.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and probably little kids too. But oh my gosh, disgusting, right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, what are we going to do? Just kind of steer clear from Boar's Head?
Speaker 2:I would not do Boar's Head again. There's no way they can make that right. People have died.
Speaker 1:Yeah. And they're such a popular brand and it's happening again in august. They had time to rectify that, I know, but you know what? I think it takes 10 weeks.
Speaker 2:So they tried and you know it's their equipment yes maybe they're not cleaning, though like properly that's kind of scary it's just gross.
Speaker 1:Anyways, this is fucking good. I want to go to Bottomless Brunch with you and have this sparkling Riesling.
Speaker 2:Let's do it. Where can we go in Pittsburgh that has a good brunch?
Speaker 1:We need to get a brunch. I want to get Litty Cat. But I want to get Litty Cat on Mox.
Speaker 2:Let's do it.
Speaker 1:And you get the real cock.
Speaker 2:Okay, I'll get a babysitter.
Speaker 1:Yes, I'm always getting that real cock baby, oh, which kind are you talking about?
Speaker 2:Oh cocktail.
Speaker 1:Oh good, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true, you don't do the mocks as much as I do.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:But do you think that you'll switch over eventually? Am I going to convince you?
Speaker 2:It's hard to say With this upcoming thing that I'm hoping happens in my life this life change, this event. I could see myself cutting back significantly because I'd be busy. I know you'd be busy doing some projects or busy working and you know, being able to, I'd have a lot of projects.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we'll just say that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we'll just say that so. I could definitely because, okay, listen, I have painted at least three houses now. Oh, my God, entire homes like entire interior homes that I lived in yes and that was unpaid. I've painted other houses too.
Speaker 1:I painted your family I know, and the bathroom, my bedroom listen.
Speaker 2:There was one time I'm like I hate painting, I don't want to do this, but I need to get it done. So I open up a bottle of wine because I'm like, oh, this will make it more interesting.
Speaker 1:Was it.
Speaker 2:I spilled paint everywhere. It was messy, it was sloppy.
Speaker 1:Like.
Speaker 2:I was like, oh, that was a bad idea.
Speaker 1:Like I had a mess to clean up.
Speaker 2:I'm like it was so much more stressful.
Speaker 1:I know.
Speaker 2:And so no, I am not doing that if I have like projects.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you're going to be so busy with projects, like you know, working with me on interior design jobs, right, and like I just think I know what it's like because I remember I like had hit like a joint whenever I was on a job. And I was like, was on a construction site and one of the contractors was like, hey, do you want to hit? And I'm like, yeah, sure, I have very low tolerance. And I'm like, oh my God, I'm a little bit nervous. I'm kind of moving like this.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, I think it's just some of us don't have the tolerance to be, like, you know, working and did want to talk about that. So I just we did want to talk about like weed right and, oh yeah, the tea break.
Speaker 1:A lot of people are now having to take a tolerance break because, through the pandemic and, like you know now everybody, it's a little bit more accessible. Recreational you know, in Ohio recreational marijuana THC use is legal.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Well, and I want to say that it like which is kind of crazy pot pot can really make you paranoid.
Speaker 1:Yes, and I know a lot of people that say that like they're like, I don't do it because it makes me paranoid. I never understood that. But then if I look back when they're like I don't do it because it makes me paranoid, I never understood that. But then if I look back when I first tried it, it did make me paranoid.
Speaker 2:Let's talk about some of our experiences, because I've had a 50 50 split.
Speaker 1:You had some good times and some weird times.
Speaker 2:So my best time was laying on a picnic table just looking up at the stars, thinking about outer space. That was the best time I ever had.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:On on when I like smoked weed Okay.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Now I've had other experiences where I'm like seeing things that aren't there, like maybe it was laced with something.
Speaker 2:I don't know Like there was one time I was a passenger in a car and every mailbox I thought was like a person about to step into the road and I'm like just totally paranoid step into the road and I'm like just totally paranoid and then and then, like the light, even the like red lights, green lights, they look they're like 200 meters away, but they look like they're like 50 meters away and I'm like, oh my god, like yeah, stop, stop, you're freaking out, you're gonna go through the light.
Speaker 2:You're gonna blow the light and then like there was another time I smoked like chronic out of a gravity bong and people were actually like out of the corner of my eye. It looked like they were rocking back and forth. Yeah, and then I look and they're not. And it's like what is going on, but the music there was like music playing.
Speaker 1:That makes the music super intense With like bass.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I was like oh fuck, it was like shitty music and I'm like this is the best music I ever heard. So you've had some more paranoid, scary experiences than you've had good and then, just when you smoke and your feet sometimes feel like there's cinder blocks attached to them, have you ever had that happen?
Speaker 1:I think so One time, I think it was indica yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:So let me hear some of your experiences.
Speaker 1:Me and the ex would take them every so often like these, really intense at a um edible indica. So it was just like so goofy and laughy and then you'd like fall asleep and then you would feel like drowsy the next day if you didn't get like 10 hours I have actually experienced that, where I'm like really drowsy and it takes me like hours to wake up kind of and feel like I have energy again. It's just like coffee doesn't work. You cannot, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:You can't plow through it with coffee.
Speaker 1:No, and when I would plow through it with coffee it would take me like probably three times the amount of caffeine to like perk up.
Speaker 2:And then you end up having like heart palpitations because, it's like oh shit, I had too much coffee.
Speaker 1:Now I know I kind of think if anything, I think it might be better than being an Elkie, because I think in some ways the alcohol can destroy your liver, and with the weed, it's like— I think both are bad.
Speaker 2:I think both are bad.
Speaker 1:Well, I mean, if you talk to doctors, they would agree.
Speaker 2:I mean, look at the Mormons and their lifestyle.
Speaker 1:They actually don't even do caffeine, because caffeine is a drug I know.
Speaker 2:And you know what I did take a week off recently of caffeine.
Speaker 1:It felt amazing. I mean, I get a headache. So I didn't get a headache, I think it was. I don't know what it felt like the first day. It was like kind of a weird feeling of like I'm fully awake but I'm like having these little like I need to, like I needed to find a reason to like have coffee. Like I was looking for a reason I was looking to go to the shop, like just to get out of the office, or like I was like my brain was like what I talked to someone and they were like I gave up coffee, I gave up alcohol, like no weed, no, no, nothing.
Speaker 2:They don't do anything that's considered a drug it was a mormon girl and she told me that, um, you know, she did dabble with it in like college or whatever and then dabbled with like alcohol and weed and caffeine like kind of rebelled from the mormon lifestyle.
Speaker 2:So she saw what it was like, saw what it was like and then dabbled with like alcohol and weed and caffeine, like kind of rebelled from the mormon lifestyle, so she saw what it was like saw what it was like and then she said nothing was better than when she stopped all of it, because she felt like she was her old self again, like it's. Like, you know, when you're like a kid and you just don't need any of that stuff like it's like she felt it was just ridiculous to like need that. She just felt happy and herself as she was when she was a child, and I'm like that's really appealing.
Speaker 1:Do you know what it's so funny? You say that I feel like when I was taking the caffeine out for a week and I was in the office, I felt like the goofiest version of myself because I just like I don't know like being sober, it's like people will all be like wait, what like? Did you have a problem like? And I was like, well, like low-key, I had a problem, but I don't think I had a problem compared to like the masses. So in some weird way I was like I felt like a child too, like I was kind of like playing these games, like laughing, goofing off, pretending like just being fun that's the thing I get like when I've taken pauses from like alcohol and things like that.
Speaker 2:I get like a little weird, like really really goofy, to the point where it's like I'm kind of immature and I don't know if people can tolerate me like.
Speaker 1:Truly, I don't know you probably do um like to fuck around with people oh, I love to fuck around and find out.
Speaker 2:People go oh, fuck around and find out, I will, yeah, you will, I'll do it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, she will.
Speaker 2:She will fuck around with me and find out so I was at the park with my kids the other day and I was just like chilling and I look over in and there's this like dude over by like the baseball fields by himself, just like standing there by himself and he has like this long hair, and I saw him reach his hand down his pants and like scratch his asshole and then I saw him, he ran his fingers through his hair, then he smelled it and then he licked his fingers.
Speaker 1:I almost called the cops I can't believe this, like you're fucking bullshitting me. See, you always see the craziest shit, like I don't know how I saw it.
Speaker 2:Like I don't even know how this happened. I'm like are my eyes playing tricks on me?
Speaker 1:ew, and I remember you telling your father-in-law this story and I'm like wait, is she serious?
Speaker 2:are you fucking with us? I was serious, I'm 100 so describe it in detail again.
Speaker 1:So he reaches his hands down his like the back of this is just some random at a park, a man, an old, man.
Speaker 2:No, he was like 40, 30 maybe a couple years older okay long brown hair like down to here.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:Dressed kind of like you know, gothic style, like a goth. And he, he reaches hands down his pants like scratched in his crack. He ran his fingers through his hair. I thought he was done right there. I'm like, okay, that's gross, but like you know, he's done. He's done with this. And I'm just always scanning because Because you have kids.
Speaker 2:I have kids and I've been in situations where I've almost been trafficked before and I will talk about that. I will talk about that. He runs his fingers through his hair, he sniffs his fingers. Then he licked it like this. This is a really fast lick and I just I'm like are my eyes playing tricks on me?
Speaker 1:That makes me a little sick.
Speaker 2:I kind of felt sick too.
Speaker 1:Well, I mean, I think to myself, I'm like I would probably like be really loud and just be like Because you were outside, but you don't want to draw attention to yourself when you're a mom alone with two kids.
Speaker 2:That's true, because you're helpless, then I mean I have ways to keep myself safe which I don't need to disclose, that here.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know self-defense.
Speaker 2:Well.
Speaker 1:Cheers to keeping yourself safe.
Speaker 2:So when I was in Mississippi, Keeping yourself safe. So when I was in Mississippi, I'm 99% sure I was almost sex trafficked. So, wonder why you think sex traffic and not your baby. Well, I would say both. Oh, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2:So I was at a gas station in Mississippi and it was also a truck stop and I saw a man like looking at me when I was pumping my gas. He didn't know I was convoying with my husband, so we were actually moving back home at the time. Convoy, yeah, like convoy, is that what you would call it? I've never Convoy. Yeah, like convoy, Is that?
Speaker 1:what you call it. I've never heard that yeah it's like two cars.
Speaker 2:You go somewhere together Like two cars, yeah, taking separate cars. That was disgusting. Say excuse me.
Speaker 1:Excuse me.
Speaker 2:Good little boy, okay Scoozy. So anyways.
Speaker 1:Miss Scoozy.
Speaker 2:This is serious.
Speaker 1:And I want boozy. This is serious and I and I want to raise awareness. You always have to have your head on a swivel and it's more prominent in the south.
Speaker 2:This you know, trafficking and stuff. I thought it was also common in, like the west probably. I just know it's prominent in the south from living. Yeah, um, that would make sense there's a lot of people that go missing, you know.
Speaker 1:So, anyways, oh fuck yeah, it's sad and they're never scary to think about, they're never found um a lot of like, even elizabeth smart, that story, oh my gosh two years missing.
Speaker 2:They thought she was dead probably yeah and they she was technically trafficked, but you almost got traffic um, I was feeling up my car and this man was like standing it was. He was standing outside of the gas station and I kind of like saw him. I saw him staring at me, we made direct eye contact and then I pulled around and I like, parked in a parking spot because my husband we had talked on the phone- like before we you know, went to the gas station.
Speaker 2:He said I'm gonna run in and like grab a couple of things and I'm like cool, so I'll just like park here and wait for you. So I parked there and waited. This guy walks across the parking lot and he's standing behind my car, so so like I wouldn't be able to back up, he's like just standing right behind.
Speaker 2:No he has his back to me and he's on the phone. Oh fuck yeah. So I think that what he wanted me to do was maybe like get out and say excuse me, but instead Was it dark? It actually was not dark out.
Speaker 1:No, okay.
Speaker 2:It was like 6 am or something like that.
Speaker 1:It was early in the morning.
Speaker 2:It was not dark though. So anyways, he's standing there, he won't move. And then, finally, my husband comes out and he pulls his truck next to me. Because I called him. I said I'm a little scared, like this is kind of weird. And so he pulls his truck next to me and the guy he did leave as soon as he noticed we were together.
Speaker 1:He just walked across to the truck stop, that's creepy.
Speaker 2:It was very creepy, and it's not the first thing that's happened. When I was a kid, I was followed as well, and I had to hide in a Hallmark store in the back room Like what? That's another store.
Speaker 1:I was selling Girl Scout cookies.
Speaker 2:I was selling Girl Scout cookies. That's scary, I know, I know. So I'm just saying like I'm never too cautious. I'm never too cautious, that's why my head was on a swivel, yeah.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, and you know what, whenever I hear these stories, I remember my friend Pooja talking about certain things that she's experienced like you, yeah, and I was always like, oh, kind of like laughed it off.
Speaker 2:Like you cannot laugh it off. It's real.
Speaker 1:But she's like Franco Ryan, you don't know what it's like to be a female. You don't, and what you're describing is terrifying. Yeah, it's a shame, I mean. I think in some weird way, like my dad would always say when I was in New York, or even LA, he's like you keeping two eyes in the back of your head, you keeping your head on a swivel. He's always super like, not nervous, but reminding me, and I think there was that part of me that was like in the back of my head.
Speaker 1:I always remembered him, my dad saying that, and so there was a part of me that was like I wouldn't walk around in new york city with headphones on as much because I would be like okay, I just gotta be able to know your surroundings, you know yeah, city life is stressful, it can be yeah, I know you guys are inspiring me to look in like just getting some land, or maybe even maybe going out to the suburb you're gonna build a tiny house with us, right?
Speaker 1:yeah, you're gonna like be able to put me on your land.
Speaker 2:Maybe lease a little piece of it I think, so we have three minutes, if we have some questions I know, I mean, we gotta check it right now. People texted us, I believe, so let's see what we got oh yeah, I'm excited to pull it up here.
Speaker 1:So my grandmother walked in on me and was asking me if I was straight or gay. She assumed that I was gay and was confused why I was fingering my girlfriend. Unfortunately, my grandma was a little disappointed because she said I really was hoping that you would be my only gay grandson. And then it just goes like feel free to call me at this number. He hoped to hear you guys soon on the pod.
Speaker 2:Okay, so they might want to come on the pod.
Speaker 1:That's so weird.
Speaker 2:Okay, so they basically have lived a life where the grandma thought he was gay and he's possibly not, or maybe bisexual. It sounds like the grandma was disappointed that he wasn't gay, that he wasn't gay well, I mean that's pretty disturbing to walk in on your grandson fingering some girl like that's pretty disturbing, yeah, and so he's just like how do I discuss this like with my grandma and like convince her?
Speaker 1:I guess that he said he was just like that's really uncomfortable to even have the discussion.
Speaker 2:I mean, she already saw some things that she didn't bargain to see. I would just have the discussions. You know, see what she has to say.
Speaker 1:Well, and it sounds like if your grandma is like at the house and you're doing that kind of stuff, it sounds like it's like a younger person, maybe like a Gen Zer, and apparently like the new generation is like they're doing mocktails. They're fluid, everybody's bisexual, you know. I think if you were growing up in today's world, you definitely would have like had a girl or two here and there anyways.
