Transcript

[Shane]

That was the craziest thing you've ever done. Whoa. That was very intimate, the fact that you gave that away for free. You're welcome. Oh, my God.

[Lizzie]

Oh, hello, girls.

[Shane]

Are you already filming? Hold on.

[Lizzie]

I was getting the entrance, even though we're really not lit at this angle. Hold on. We both just worked out. He ran on the treadmill while I did a weighted workout. We both made our protein smoothies.

[Shane]

You guys thought you were going to get a body reveal, didn't you? I'm sorry. Listen, when we're just swimming as a family, I don't wear a shirt. But, like, a sip body reveal might be a little too much for me, but maybe soon.

[Lizzie]

You think that's fine. I feel like you can't see us at all.

[Shane]

Am I going to explain my two smoothies or.

[Lizzie]

Well, yeah.

[Shane]

Okay. You're making me dizzy. Oh, this way. Right here. Well, can it just float? Do we have a raft like this?

[Lizzie]

Oh, with the hideous pool fence in the background? Hey, it's safe with the safe pool fence.

[Shane]

When I make my protein smoothie, sometimes I make a little too much, then I have a little overflow. It's honestly fun. It's my favorite part, because then I'm like, you know when you finish your drink and you're sad. When I finish my drink, I'm like, oh, I got another one. A B goes a B. We're okay. Ah. Okay, B. Listen, we need you for the environment, but no, no, not for the zip. Not for the sip. It's not called the buzz.

[Lizzie]

My smoothies. Some mixed berries, some chocolate protein powder, a banana. Motorcycles. And the plane wanted to go.

[Shane]

You always miss my jokes.

[Lizzie]

I couldn't hear it over everything that's going on outside.

[Shane]

It's a sip, not the buzz. The bee. Anyways, you still can't see us. Yes, you can. It's fine. Okay.

[Lizzie]

Oh, my God. Okay. Well, this is as good of lighting as you're gonna get, girl.

[Shane]

My smoothie's almost gone. I've been waiting for so long.

[Lizzie]

Oh, my gosh. Delish. We aren't gonna give your. I saw on the Patreon, a few people were asking for your smoothie recipe because it does look delicious, and you do always do a dollop. A dollop of whipped cream and a caramel drizzle. So it looks like a caramel frappuccino from Starbucks.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Lizzie]

How does it taste?

[Shane]

Incredible. Taste it.

[Lizzie]

I probably can't taste it. There's probably so much. I already know what it's gonna taste like. Just overwhelmingly.

[Shane]

Taste it, period. Right. Hi, Starbucks. How are ya?

[Lizzie]

If there was somewhere to spit that I know that's triggering for people, I would have.

[Shane]

It's triggering. Oh, my God, you are so dramatic. It's so good.

[Lizzie]

Oh, my God. It's straight fake sugar. That's all you can taste in a way that stings.

[Shane]

So let me give you guys my protein shake recipe, and now that I've.

[Lizzie]

Had it, you don't want it. Just. Well, they can have it without all the 20, 30 packs of Splenda.

[Shane]

It's equal, it's different. Definitely more dangerous. Yes. My protein smoothie is an acquired taste and I love it.

[Lizzie]

You have ruined my. My palate now.

[Shane]

If you guys want my protein shake recipe, leave a comment below. Thumbs it up, let me know. Show him that you guys are on my side now.

[Lizzie]

Just give it to them. What, you're gonna hold? You're gonna withhold the information now?

[Shane]

Yes, because listen, I'm not gonna give away my secrets for people who don.

[Lizzie]

Need to know they want it. I already told you, there's people requesting on the Patreon.

[Shane]

Really? Then why are you hating on it?

[Lizzie]

You post one. Well, I'm saying they can leave out the excess. What do you call it?

[Shane]

Anyways, guys, it's Sunday and we found out Lizzie has the plague, so she's not here right now. Are you gonna invite her with what's going on? What is this?

[Lizzie]

I have no idea. I honestly have no idea. We're gonna plug a switch wherever we can.

[Shane]

He was stressing out and he was just like, I don't know what to do unless he's sick, and then I don't want us to get. And then the boys will get sick, and then I don't want to cancel the sip. And I don't know. And I was like, grab the camera. Let's get in the pool and let's have the float.

[Lizzie]

Not the buzz, not the sip, the float.

[Shane]

Let's have the sink, baby.

[Lizzie]

Actually, Lizzy and I have been thinking of doing a pool episode for so long.

[Shane]

I have been. No, no, no, we're not doing that. I have been pitching for years. You should do a pool episode of the Sip. And every time I say it, he goes, no. Anyways, moves on anyways.

[Lizzie]

And now, because the problem with me is if I'm not in a setting that is podcast, I listen.

[Shane]

Just a warning to my girls and boys out there who might want to try my protein recipe. Recipe coming soon. In the next one, just know that it will cause gas.

[Lizzie]

It comes out both directions in a horrifying way. And then I'm like, shane, I have to do that.

[Shane]

We were okay in the morning. So let me give you guys my morning routine. So I do.

[Lizzie]

Yeah, please do.

[Shane]

I do something called perching, which I feel like I've talked about this here before. The perch, it comes before the sip anyways, so.

[Lizzie]

No, it comes after the sip. You sip your coffee, right?

[Shane]

So I get up, I check my phone. I'm like, oh, my God, what's going on? I, you know, do that. And then I'll, like, respond to, like, one thing in the family chat, and then Ryan will send me eyes, and he'll be like, you're awake. Why didn't you say good morning? And I'm like, oh, my God. So there's trauma.

[Lizzie]

You do the same thing to me. If you wake up and I'm walking the dogs and I'm nowhere to be found when he's going to retrieve his coffee, he gives me the eyes, and I'm like, I'm walking three dogs. How can I remind you? We both give each other the eyes because we want to be with each other. But then whoever's occupied is annoyed that they're getting the eyes, because obviously whoever's receiving the eyes is currently busy the eyes.

[Shane]

I don't think you guys can see us anyways, so. But they can hear us. That's all that matters, so. Oh, God. How do you make that annoying?

[Lizzie]

Ah, that's always annoying. That's universally annoying.

[Shane]

Okay, so I order my coffee. I know it's gonna be here in 15 minutes, which means from now to that, 15 minutes where I have to go get the postmate. I have my water. What?

[Lizzie]

You keep covering my face with your hands.

[Shane]

I have my water, so I have my water. Get that going through my system. Ding, ding. Postmates here, grab my coffee, make my fixings. If you want a recipe, leave a thumbs up down below.

[Lizzie]

Just give them the stupid recipe for my coffee.

[Shane]

My coffee's different than my coffee. Coffee's all another experience. Some of the same ingredients apply, but it all really tastes different.

[Lizzie]

The same when you put 30 packs of Splenda equal. Oh, my God.

[Shane]

Anyways, so then I have my coffee. I go up to. To my office. I perch on my little couch, I get in the corner, I put my leg up, and I. And I do a sitting position. That will help move things along. Let me know down in the comments. What's your perch position?

[Lizzie]

Mine's getting on the walking treadmill. That's what gets mine Moving. If I'm sitting, it's not as effective.

[Shane]

That one does get me moving, but it gets me moving to a point where there's going to be an acc. And you're not supposed to get your walking pad wet. So I stopped doing that. So I'll be sitting and I'll perch, and then I'll give him eye emojis. He comes in and then, you know, he sits down next to me. We watch a YouTube video. And what happened is we were watching YouTube video today during my perch, sometimes.

[Lizzie]

Not sometimes, every time, multiple times.

[Shane]

Listen, when a car is revving up, you know, it does a. You know, it gets the engine moving. Like, things happen. Little smoke pops out with my body when the engine's moving. The bark. When the engine's moving, there's little poots, right? And usually I'll look at him and I'll go, sorry. And, you know, but one thing.

[Lizzie]

Normally, me going, girl.

[Shane]

Me going, sorry.

[Lizzie]

I'm like, can't you walk out of the room for them?

[Shane]

No, that's insane. Who would do that? Listen, I tried that once because I wanted to appease him. And I walked out of the room, went to, like, the third stair down, let myself out, relieved myself, and then I walked back in the room. And he goes, oh, it came back in with you. And I'm like, I can't win.

[Lizzie]

It was almost worse, but it's like, I don't know if it's the equal. They're so potent the way that, like, I have to cover up.

[Shane]

Anyways, so I was. I let out a poot and I didn't even know. He goes, girl. And I said, what? And he goes, you just farted. And I said, no, I didn't. And then he said, yeah, you did. And I was like, did I just do that without even thinking? Like, it's gotten to a point where it just came out of me just like clockwork. So that's my story.

[Lizzie]

So it's best if I'm on my dog walk while he is perching, and then I can join up with him after his dog walk and eat my lunch while he's, like, ready.

[Shane]

Bold move, by the way, to come into my office after my morning of the engine moving and he brings in a big old salad. And I'm like, are you okay? Like, even I am, like, scared of his room right now. Even I'm like, like unable to breathe. And you're walking in with food, but that's cool for you. Anyways, so, yeah, that was our morning routine. Today's been an interesting day. You need to talk. This is your podcast.

[Lizzie]

What do you mean today's been an interesting day?

[Shane]

Well, it's just been a lot of you pouting.

[Lizzie]

I get the. No, I think I get the Sunday blues sometimes.

[Shane]

And if it's so annoying for somebody who doesn't have a normal job, like, I have the Sunday scaries, why I.

[Lizzie]

Always have my longest, busiest work weekday on Mondays. Are you kidding me? But that's not necessarily why. It's normally because that's the day that I don't necessarily have work. Why don't you change work so I get.

[Shane]

Why don't you do your podcast on a different day so it's not like a Monday stream?

[Lizzie]

Monday's not the problem. I'm not afraid of Monday. I think it's if I don't jump start my Sunday in a productive way, then I just feel crazy. Crazy if I'm like, not. Not accomplishing anything. So I worked out, and now I'm feeling better. I'm in a better mood.

[Shane]

And then I said, I was like, oh. Because he goes, I just. I'm just gonna go work out. I just need to do something.

[Lizzie]

Well, because then Lizzie was like, yeah, Billy's sick, which, like, you can't avoid your baby getting sick. But then it's like, I'm not gonna put my babies at risk of getting sick. So then it's like, now we have the sip, the after sip, and the sick.

[Shane]

And I said, well, is it okay if I run on the treadmill next to you? And you said, whatever. And I was like, well, wouldn't it be cute if we could work out together? Like, that would be nice on a Sunday. And I went in there, and I could just feel him being, like, annoyed by me. And I'm like, I'm just trying to get my steps, girl.

[Lizzie]

I was annoyed of myself. I just had to get out of my own way.

[Shane]

Mama. Well, how are you now?

[Ryan]

Fine.

[Shane]

Good. Okay, so here's what I think we need to do, and I think we need to start prioritizing. I started thinking about this today because I was like, why are we so depressed right now? I mean, I'm fine. I think it's because we went on a little trip, which. Have we talked about that?

[Lizzie]

Oh, no. It will be in the next vlog.

[Shane]

The trip. The trip coming up next, the sip. And we went on a little trip, and it was literally 24 hours. It was the first time we had ever been away from the babies overnight, which was, like, crazy horrifying. But we also, like, my mom stayed and we trust her, so that was fine. But it was pretty crazy being, like, we checked the monitors all night. Like, I would wake up in the middle of the night and just look and check. But it did, like, rejuvenate us in a way. Like, it kind of gave us our spark. And then we got right back home, and obviously we love being with the babies, but we're kind of back in, like, daddy mode.

[Lizzie]

And it was jumped right into work, too. It was a podcast day, the day we got back, and then it was just like 100 miles an hour. And then Sunday, and, like, when we.

[Shane]

Were perching in the hotel room and, like, my little poots would come out, it was, like, cute and funny because I'm pooting in a new location, at.

[Lizzie]

Least I. I could open the door and watch the ocean.

[Shane]

The ocean.

[Lizzie]

Oh, I love the ocean.

[Shane]

So, yeah, we. Well, should we talk about what we did?

[Lizzie]

I mean, or.

[Shane]

No, I don't mean that. I just mean, like, we explore a new city.

[Lizzie]

What do you mean explore? Sometimes people get annoyed if I, like, if all of my content revolves around the same piece of content. No, no, I'm not mad at you. I'm saying they'll be like. They'll be like, lizzy vlogged this. You vlogged it. And then you talked about what you did on both vlogs on the podcast, and I'm like, you have a point.

[Shane]

Well, anyways, I'm gonna talk about it. So I was like, oh, where should we? So we decided to go to Laguna beach, which I have been there before, if you guys don't know. Laguna beach was a hit show back in the early 2000s on MTV where a group of annoying spoiled white teenagers lived in a beachy area. And they would just go, steven. Steven.

[Lizzie]

They all were fighting over Steve.

[Shane]

Kristen. Kristen. And it was just a lot. I actually didn't watch it, but Jared watched every fucking episode to a point where, like, it was interesting because he's not the type that you would think would watch shit like that. And he watches shit like that.

[Lizzie]

Well, he was probably the exact same age as them, I would assume.

[Shane]

But he's still, like. He will still be like, oh, are you watching? And he'll bring up, like, TLC reality show about a bunch of women living together. I haven't seen that one yet. Girl.

[Lizzie]

I watched the Hills, which was the spin off because they all lived in Hollywood, which is where I so badly wanted to move.

[Shane]

But it was fun to, like, go to Laguna Beach. Even though I used to live in Long. I grew up in Long beach, but we didn't go there because it was just not the vibe. But I kind of thought the vibe was interesting.

[Lizzie]

The vibe was great.

[Shane]

Yeah, I loved it. It wasn't like, as annoying and snooty. People there were really nice. Like, I don't know, it was fun. People were just walking around having fun.

[Lizzie]

It was a chill, relaxed beach town, which I really liked. And the beach was beautiful. I felt like it was very close to when we go to Cabo, which is just like a relaxed, enjoyable, refreshing moment. And I thought, am I up running, uprooting my entire family's life and moving us to the O.C. you know, listen, the part I liked about it, that everything's walkable. So, like, if you lived in one of those neighborhoods, you could walk to your stores, you could walk to your restaurants, you could walk to the beach.

[Shane]

That's crazy. Are you kidding me?

[Lizzie]

Yes, it is.

[Shane]

Everything.

[Lizzie]

I mean, a lot of things were walkable. If you live right in downtown Laguna beach, you can walk four blocks to the beach. You can walk four blocks to your favorite restaurant, you know?

[Shane]

Yeah, that is a. So we live in the middle of nowhere. Like, literally nowhere. Like, there's houses by us, but. But very spread out. Like, we don't live within. Like to get to a grocery store, to get to anything takes like 15 minutes, 20 if there's traffic.

[Lizzie]

And listen, there's perks. You can't see your neighbors, which is nice. Listen, I'm just saying people move out here because, like, it's. I mean, I'm friendly with all of our neighbors. I know them because I walk my dogs. But it's not like on our property you can see other people.

[Shane]

Sorry. Oh my God. Back to the burp.

[Lizzie]

And so, like. Yes. If we were to move somewhere that was more densely populated, you get a lot and you give a lot. Like you give away the private properties.

[Shane]

I fear that we're being boring right now.

[Lizzie]

Oh, yeah, me too.

[Shane]

So let's switch it up. Let's talk about our most recent fight.

[Lizzie]

What?

[Shane]

Well, let me think. We had a big. Oh, we can't talk about that. Nevermind. We had a big fight recently, but we can't talk about it. I mean, we could. We're not going to.

[Lizzie]

No, it had to do with, like, parenting.

[Shane]

We're not gonna say, okay, I'm gonna.

[Lizzie]

Cut that out then leave it in.

[Shane]

Listen, you don't have to air all your dirty laundry.

[Lizzie]

No, no, we're not airing it I'm just saying there's going to be points in the road in which you, like, have to discuss how you want to.

[Ryan]

Do things when you're running a family.

[Shane]

And he runs it, let me tell you. Let me think. What was another fight? Well, I do. Oh. What I was getting at is I feel like we need to have more date nights again. Like, maybe even not once a week, because that's a lot. But like, once every other week. Like, I feel like we don't do that anymore where we like.

[Lizzie]

Well, it's hard.

[Shane]

Have someone come watch the monitors, go out for a couple hours. You know, go to a restaurant, do something. Like, remember that we're in a relationship and that we're not. Just, you know, you're running the family and I'm scared.

[Lizzie]

Oh, please don't try to paint it like that. Oh, my gosh. But no, it is hard because you can't expect one person to do, like, twins nighttime routine. That's like, it's. You just can't. So it's like we have to stay to do bath and bedtime and all of that. So we can't leave until after they're in bed and then it's expecting somebody to stay later. I know. Which just. It's just we haven't found like a nighttime babysitter. So it's harder to just, like, go out on a date.

[Shane]

Yeah. But, yeah, I feel like we need to, you know, go to a movie, do something. Yeah. What else? It's life, kid.

[Lizzie]

Well, did you do a Q and A thing on your Instagram?

[Shane]

No.

[Lizzie]

I thought I saw you take a picture and ask, like, to ask questions.

[Shane]

Oh, I was doing my thing where I overthink everything when it comes to thumbnails and titles. So I was asking people on my podcast, instagram, do you like this title more? What about this one? I just. Every time I like. YouTube is so different now. I used to know exactly. Like, I'd get a gut feeling and I'd be like, that's the thumbnail, that's the title. And. But now with YouTube, I never know what works because people aren't just like, on YouTube anymore. They're on other apps. You have to get them to come to YouTube.

[Lizzie]

Like, please go to YouTube right now.

[Shane]

Yeah. And it's hard. So, like, I don't know, whatever. But I'm excited. I like the podcast that I posted today. When is this going on?

[Lizzie]

Wednesday, Thursday, depending on what this is the afternoon.

[Shane]

So I'm excited.

[Lizzie]

I liked it, period, if you ask me.

Guys, I have some thoughts. What I'm just trying to figure out like what. What is our goal for this year? What is your guys goal for this year? The year is moving fast. It's already April. Almost April. Almost April. Wow.

[Lizzie]

This is crazy.

[Shane]

I know. What are we gonna do for April Fools? Well, we can't give it away. I have an idea. What if we. Wait, this is funny. What if for April Fools, me and Spencer dress up as you and Lizzie and post a sip and we act like you? Well, no, we can't do it. We decided. But wouldn't that be funny?

[Lizzie]

That would be everything.

[Shane]

And who would be Chris?

[Lizzie]

Chris could still be Chris.

[Shane]

Okay. Yeah, that would be funny.

[Lizzie]

That's really good.

[Shane]

That's really good. Spencer, as Lizzie is really funny. Yeah. I always have ideas for, like, for April Fool's Day things, but I think of them too late. Like, I will literally think of it on April Fool's Day. I'm like, oh, my God, what if I did? And then I'm like, this also.

[Lizzie]

Does anyone actually like April Fool's Things?

[Shane]

Well, I said no. I started. I was like, oh, maybe this was last year. I was like, oh, for April Fool's, I should just post, like, one of my, like, yellow background eating videos and, like, recreate my kitchen set and, like, wear that ugly blue. Oh, my God. That blue shirt that I used to wear in every video. That was a medieval time shirt. If I just wore my blue medieval time shirt. And I was like, hey, what's up, you guys? Yes. And I, like, literally do it and just not say anything about how it's weird that I haven't done one in 10 years. Maybe I'll do that, watch it, do well. And people are like, this is what we want. And I'm like, oh, I don't know. Or nobody watches it. And they're all like, this is sad. And I'm like, it's April Fools. And they're like, is it?

[Lizzie]

Well, then you just do. I say you do it. These are all really good ideas.

[Shane]

I'm bored, though. That sounds like a lot of work. No, actually, it sounds like the opposite of a lot of work. Sounds depressing. Do you guys want to see that? Leave me a thumb up in a comment below if you want me to do that.

[Lizzie]

What would the concept be?

[Shane]

Of what?

[Lizzie]

The food concept.

[Shane]

Oh, I don't know. Tasty, crazy donuts or something. Something stupid. I choked on my own idea. Oh, Wendy. Are you guys gonna start having guests on the sip? You should.

[Lizzie]

It's so. Well, now it gets confusing because we started the after sips. Then it's like, okay, I don't know. I don't know. It's very confusing. And I don't.

[Shane]

You know, I have Patreon ideas.

[Lizzie]

Okay. I was just gonna talk about guests for a second, though.

[Shane]

Oh.

[Lizzie]

Because.

[Shane]

Do that.

[Lizzie]

Because I just. I don't.

[Shane]

Being on my knees on this rock is, like, killing me.

[Lizzie]

I don't really trust widening our circle. Not that, like, somebody coming.

[Shane]

Hold on. Idea.

[Lizzie]

Not that, like, somebody coming on the podcast.

[Shane]

This is so much better.

[Ryan]

The lighting's better, too.

[Lizzie]

Not that it means they're, like, immediately becoming, like, in our circle, but I just. I trust less.

[Shane]

Here's the thing about having guests on a podcast.

[Lizzie]

It's exhausting.

[Shane]

I was not gonna say that. It's fun, but it. It feels, like, awkward. And because you don't want it to.

[Lizzie]

Feel like you're exploiting that.

[Shane]

Like a business transaction, Right? So, like, you invite people over. So here's what I do. Here's my process. I don't really. We don't have too many guests on my podcast. And when we do, it's usually, like.

[Lizzie]

Special interests or people we enjoy.

[Shane]

It's like a friend or, like, you know, like Benjamin, our favorite postmate. So when. When we do that, we have people come over for an hour beforehand, and we all eat together and, like, have lunch and have fun and get to know each other and stuff. Then we start filming the podcast. But my podcast takes four hours.

[Lizzie]

Four, if we're lucky. Two.

[Shane]

We filmed three, four, five, six. Like, me and Spencer plan. We plan too much. Like, we plan a lot of segments because sometimes they don't work. And we want. We want the hour and a half to be really good. So, like, we shoot for four hours and cut it down to an hour and a half. So we have all this extra stuff, which I kind of played around with the idea of doing a Patreon, like, two years ago, like, or a membership, like, oh, we'll post the extended. And then I just never did because I'm like, I don't know, whatever. Maybe one day. But so, yeah, we have a lot of extra footage, and we filmed for, like, four hours. And then we have to start, you know, taking everything down. The lights, the cameras and stuff. It's our living room. So while that's happening, I'm kind of, like, hanging out with the guest afterward. And, like, you don't want to, like, tell them, like, okay, bye, because that's awkward. And I still want to hang out with them, but they're exhausted. Everybody's exhausted. It's like a. Kind of an awkward. And then it's like, okay, we gotta get a thumbnail. So then we take pictures with them, and it's like, okay, Bye.

[Lizzie]

My thing is for, like, if I were trying to book, like, celebrity guests for our podcast, I wouldn't know them. So then it's like, an awkward first date. And then if you want the juicy information, it almost feels like you're squeezing something out of them, which I. I would want the vibe to be fun, not, like, let me get this so I can put it in the title and the thumbnail and then make sure.

[Ryan]

You leave our house right away.

[Lizzie]

But, like, now we know each other, even though we don't.

[Shane]

An ideal situation for having podcast guests would be, like, they come in, we film, you know, and then we go to dinner. Like, maybe. Maybe we switch it so that we can hang out with them after. Because I like to hang out with. With the guest. I don't want it to ever feel like a transaction, because for me, back in, like, 2014, I filmed, like, a bunch of collab videos, like, you know, smelling crazy perfumes, like, with this person. And I did that because I had to go shoot a movie. So I stockpiled 300 videos before I left. That is crazy, because I wanted enough videos to get me through. I did five videos a week, so I needed enough to get me through seven months or something. So I, like, filmed all these videos, and it felt like a whorehouse. Like, I lit. Is that offensive? That's what it's called, right? Or a bunny ranch. It felt like I literally. It would be like, okay, this YouTuber's here. We film my video, their video, and then another YouTuber's like, knock, knock. And I'm like, okay, bye, Ricky Dillon. Like, here comes, you know, Trevi. Like, it was just, like, this weird rotation, and it is what it is. Like, everybody was fine with it, but it definitely felt, like, icky. After doing 2, 300 of those, I'm like, I never want to feel like that again. I don't want people to feel like that.

[Lizzie]

I also don't want to become a podcast that, like, the viewership is dependent on a guest. I'd rather you like hanging out with us every week rather than like, oh, I like this guest. So I'll click this week and not next week. Like, I don't know. It's. I don't know.

[Shane]

Yeah, there's a deadbeat floating. Oh, that's so sad.

[Lizzie]

Anyways, you were bringing up something before I said, well, I want to talk about guests more.

[Shane]

Oh, our goals for the year. Oh, guys, the year is going very fast. What is your 2025 goal for this year? Let us know in the comments. My goal. God, the year is going so fast. I don't know. My goal was to make my movie, and I just had a meeting about that, and we're getting back on track with that. But, like, the year's gonna be over.

[Lizzie]

I still think you could. As long as some people. Key things happen.

[Shane]

Key things being somebody gives me money to make a movie, which.

[Lizzie]

Well, no, there's. You've come up with a couple options. If one of them works, it's fine.

[Ryan]

It's dead.

[Shane]

It's not gonna.

[Lizzie]

A dead bee can't sting you. Or it. Can you.

[Shane]

Can you throw it out? I feel so bad for it, but can you throw it out?

[Lizzie]

It's dead.

[Shane]

I know.

[Lizzie]

Unless it's not. And then it stings me because it's alive.

[Shane]

Okay, so, yeah. Oh, we're switching sides. Here's. Not that you guys probably don't care about this, but basically what we did. What here. Insane. Yeah. Hello. Right now we're repackaging the movie to take it out, to try to sell it again. We took a break. My producers, they had a. Well, I don't know if I should say that. They had a life, a family thing. They needed a few months. So now we're going back out and repackaging it to try to. Basically, we're not going to be dependent on, like, having a big movie star attached to it, which is what we were trying to do originally. Because what I've learned through that experience is a lot. You can send an offer to a movie star and. And, like, a good offer, and, like, here's a good amount of money to be in this movie. And they will just, like, take three months. And then after the three months is over, they'll be like, we're so sorry. They really like it, but it's a pass. And I'm like, okay, I wish I could have told me about that three months ago. So it. Waiting around for that's not working. So we're gonna repackage it. There's a chance it might be me acting in it to help get some funding.

[Lizzie]

I think that'd be incredible. You're about to be the right age of the character. You know the story. You wrote the story.

[Shane]

I know. I just don't want. I don't want people to be like, ew, he's acting in his own movie. I mean, I already did that before, but I don't want people to be like, he thinks he's an actor. Like, I enjoy acting, but I'm not, like, trying.

[Lizzie]

Everyone thinks they're an actor. I mean, look at all the people that aren't actors that act, period.

[Shane]

Wait, what?

[Lizzie]

I mean, there's just a lot of people that have different professions that than acting that start acting. Like, I'm not saying it's easy, but I, but I mean, you can act.

[Shane]

I don't know. I'm not stressing out about it though. I was really stressed about it for the last couple years and now, especially after having kids, I'm just like, you know what? Timing is everything. It is what it is. The movie's going to be, what it's going to be, when it's going to be. And I'm not going to like wake up every day stressed out yelling at people like, where's this? When are we going to do this? How come we haven't pitched it to this?

[Lizzie]

Well, that's the other thing is Shame.

[Ryan]

Very efficient.

[Lizzie]

Like in his own world, in his own creations on YouTube, you're efficient. If you have a task, you do a task.

[Shane]

In this movie, some would call it oct.

[Lizzie]

In this movie land where you're collaborating with a production company, a casting agency, talent agents, managers, it's like you're playing a never ending game of telephone and you're relying on each person that's on your telephone line to execute. And sometimes each person takes multiple days to get to the next person and then it's like it could be a week before you even get one thought. All the way to the end and back. I don't know how people get things made.

[Shane]

Yeah. So that's my update. What else?

[Lizzie]

My goal.

[Shane]

Oh yeah, what's your goal?

[Lizzie]

I don't know that I have one this year. I'm having a good time, you know, I am having a good time. I'm.

[Ryan]

And I'm trying to decide what it is.

[Shane]

I didn't mean to look negative. I was just thinking today, the first half of the day was not a good time.

[Lizzie]

So I'm thinking, okay, that wasn't because of me. I had a 30 minute period. What are you talking about, period?

[Shane]

He did have a period period.

[Lizzie]

Girl, it was 30 minutes.

[Shane]

Well, no, you said you had a 30 minute period.

[Lizzie]

I know, but I'm saying your whole day wasn't ruined because you're on your period.

[Ryan]

I understand.

[Shane]

See the joke, it was funny.

[Lizzie]

I get it. But I'm just saying you keep acting like I'm the period. There was a 30 minute period of time where I was brainstorming and annoyed that I hadn't like gotten anything accomplished.

[Shane]

Yeah. When he gets like in a mood. It's crazy. Like he really doesn't want or I don't know if you want advice. Because I'll give him advice and he just won't listen and he'll get more angry.

[Lizzie]

Well, I have solutions. I just didn't want to sit and talk about it right then and there. I wanted to either. I kept asking him, after you post your video, are we gonna go out in the world or should I go work out? And he wouldn't give me. He was like, well, let's go somewhere. But then like 30 minutes would pass and I was still sitting there. And then I just was like, oh, now I've wasted an hour and I could have been done working out and then we could have been out. And so it's. It was more like that than anything else.

[Shane]

Right. But what I will say is when I do give him advice and he doesn't listen to me, maybe like two days later he'll take the advice and he'll act like it was his own idea.

[Lizzie]

No, I do not do that. Are you kidding me? I'm like, do not try to paint me as. Do not try to paint me as that kind of girl. When have I ever not given you credit for your ideas?

[Shane]

Every time.

[Lizzie]

You are kidding me.

[Shane]

And then I say it. I'm like, that was my idea. And then you go, period. Literally, like anytime we lie.

[Lizzie]

Why are you painting me to be the worst right now? Acting like I. My way goes in everything with this.

[Shane]

You're the best girl.

[Lizzie]

What girl?

[Shane]

Yes.

[Lizzie]

You keep painting me as the worst.

[Shane]

No, you're the best.

[Shane]

I saw this comment. Where was it? It was like a reel about a dog or something, like a dog dying. I don't know. It was really sad if somebody's dog died. And then there was a caption, and it said. It said, dog gets to heaven. Dog. Like, you know how it's like. Like, dialogue. I said dog. Was I a good boy? God, no. You were the best. Anyways, I just felt like sharing that. It was so sweet. I wish animals could live forever. That is so sad.

[Lizzie]

Our dogs are dying to get in the pool.

[Shane]

Oh, I did not know where that sentence was going. That was crazy. Oh, my God. I was thinking, how old Uno's getting, And then you said, our dogs are dying.

[Lizzie]

We could have never had done this with them in the backyard before. This pool fence, that's the only, like, one positive thing. I'm still letting them.

[Shane]

That's the only positive thing about the pool fence? How about is saving our children's lives?

[Lizzie]

I mean, that's the obvious.

[Shane]

Max literally walked over to the pool fence and started trying to figure out how to open it. And I was like, wow.

[Lizzie]

He kept sticking his hand. Like, he could get his little hands through some portions.

[Shane]

It's moving fast. Like, they went from being, like, you know, just two, you know, people that just laid on a pillow and stared at us to literally manipulating, like, the other day. It was crazy. So they were eating, and Jet was doing this thing where he was, like, taking his food and giving to the dogs, and we're. Jet, stop. Jet, stop. And then he. He went right. He went like this. And then say, jet, stop.

[Lizzie]

Jet, stop. Jet, stop it, Jetson.

[Shane]

It was crazy. It was literally like. It was. They're people now. Like, they are fully. I mean, they're literally not. They're. They are people, but they're not fully developed people. They're literally 50 months. But it was like watching a comedy sketch. I was like, oh, my God. He has timing. He got jokes. He's, like, doing faces. He's doing a bit. Like, it's so funny, and it's so hard not to laugh, because if you laugh, then he knows that it's funny.

[Lizzie]

And he's gonna do it again.

[Shane]

So then we have to be like, no.

[Lizzie]

And then if he continues, I just have to take the tray away because I can't. Like, it's even, like, a. No. He's Getting a reaction or a response, and that's what he wants from it. And we.

[Shane]

Yeah, Today he kept trying to. Max kept trying to open up every cabinet in the kitchen, and we have, like, little childluck things, but then sometimes we don't.

[Lizzie]

I ran out halfway through, so I ordered more. I just have it in the. Installed the rest.

[Shane]

Okay. So sometimes we don't. And then he'll, like, figure one out. And then. So today he kept opening the same one, and I, you know, I finally was just like, max, no. And then he just, like, looked at me, and I just was like, I love you. And I gave him a hug, and I was like, I just ruined it. I just ruined. And he knows I ruined it, and now he's gonna do it again. It's hard. It's hard because you don't want to be scary, and you don't want them to be afraid of you, but also, they kind of need to be afraid of you sometimes, or else they're going to take advantage of. Of you because they are manipulative.

[Lizzie]

They are.

[Shane]

It's crazy.

[Lizzie]

It just. It is that way.

[Shane]

The other day, we were literally like, they're evil, but we love it.

[Lizzie]

Sometimes, but they're kind of evil. Yeah. Because they're figuring out how to push their limits. They know what is not allowed, and they try it all day, every day anyway. And you're just so funny constantly. No.

[Shane]

Anyways, I know this is what you guys wanted, us talking about our children while floating in a pool with a shirt on, but that's what you're getting.

[Lizzie]

We're gonna be water park girls this summer.

[Shane]

Oh, my God. Okay, so I'm planning. Well, I'm planning a video that we're shooting in two weeks, a week and a half. I don't know. Your family's coming back. We're shooting a Six Flags conspiracy. Although, well, there's not really that many conspiracies about Six Flags. I just want an excuse to go to a theme park. And we're gonna, like, well, yeah, I'm really excited about it. So we're shooting that, and then I was like, oh, my God, for a summer video. A water park. I haven't been to a water park since I was 6. I don't remember it. The only thing I remember is getting so sunburnt that me and my brothers were laying down on our stomachs while my mom was covering our backs in aloe vera, and we were just screaming. That's all I remember.

[Lizzie]

I love a water park. It might be my Favorite kind of park.

[Shane]

Really? I'm kind of like, do I? Okay. Because I've always been nervous about it and I'm like, well, it's because I don't want to take my shirt off. Which I'm still not going to. But I'm like, but now that I'm less nervous about that because everybody wears shirts.

[Lizzie]

Well, shirts are chic now.

[Shane]

Are they?

[Lizzie]

Well, you're saving, you're saving yourself and your skin protection.

[Shane]

That was my excuse when I was like 13 with breasts. I was like. And I'd go swimming in a shirt and I'd be like, it's because I sunburn easy. And all my skinny friends would be like, yeah, right. But I do sunburn easy. Shout out to all my sensitive skin mamas.

[Lizzie]

Your light skinned mamas.

[Shane]

He's redhead. What's that saying? Oh yeah. So but now I'm like, am I excited? Because we've been watching water park videos and they're pretty intense and kind of gross. Like people will go on these water slides, these crazy water slides and then all the water will go in their face and their nose and their mouth and then they get to the bottom and they like go and blow it all out right into the pool.

[Lizzie]

Don't even get me started on the feet of it all. Like people with feet warts just spreading.

[Shane]

First of all, some of us can't help it. Some of us step. Well, I have a couple little lumpies and bumpies on my feet from all my walking. I need to get a pedicure if we're going to go to a water park. I've never done that in my life.

[Lizzie]

I would love to go to get a pedicure.

[Shane]

Do you guys want a pedicure on the after seat?

[Lizzie]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Of the Patreon.

[Lizzie]

Maybe we should do that tomorrow.

[Shane]

Go get pedicures.

[Lizzie]

You, Spencer and I, that's a lot. He spent some issues going on.

[Shane]

Do you mind going to get a pedicure?

[Lizzie]

Every man likes a pedicure. And if they don't, they just haven't gotten one.

[Shane]

I haven't gotten one.

[Lizzie]

So that's why you don't.

[Shane]

I don't like the idea of somebody first of all touching my feet because I'm ticklish. But also I don't like the feeling of filing a nail down. I don't like the sound of nail things. I mean, I like the sounds of like I can't do it, but I like that. But I don't like the sounds of.

[Lizzie]

Like, well, there's a lot of like There's a tub of water at the bottom. It's not. I don't know. It's not as bad as you're thinking it is.

[Shane]

Tub of water.

[Lizzie]

Well, yeah. Your feet sit in warm water, and then they, like, do. Yeah. You're gonna be fine. We're gonna have a great time. Let's just go get a pedicure. Because every time Lizzy and I try to plan one, she ends up going and doing it all without me.

[Shane]

Right. Sorry. I just started thinking I should probably. I'm just thinking about the thumbnail for this. Like, is this gonna be the sip?

[Lizzie]

I don't know if this will be the sip.

[Shane]

That's crazy. Really. Why am I doing this for the Patreon. I don't get a part of. I don't get a cut of.

[Lizzie]

Girl, you could have a cut of the Patreon.

[Shane]

No, I would never.

[Lizzie]

Then the bit's not good.

[Shane]

What bit?

[Lizzie]

You've been saying on every platform. The Patreon. You don't get a cut off. I'll give you a cut of the stupid Patreon.

[Shane]

I don't want to cut.

[Lizzie]

Okay, well, if I get big Rich, I'll buy us a house.

[Shane]

You guys will buy us a house.

[Lizzie]

I'm gonna have to get, like, everyone who's ever watched our videos.

[Shane]

I love Patreon. Like, not just yours. I started fall anytime. Now I see a YouTuber promote their Patreon. I just. I just do it because I like to see what they're doing. I like to. To see. I don't know. It's fun to see people on Patreon because they're a lot more open.

[Lizzie]

Well, they're just showing you their actual surroundings. I feel like A vlog for YouTube is great. We love watching vlogs on YouTube. But I feel like you get to see more angles of people's houses. Like, I'm nosy. Even when I was dating, it doesn't matter, like, the apartment, the house, the anything. I like to see it all. Like, if I am familiar with a person or interested in a person, I. I'm nosy. I just want it all. And so that's what I like about Patreon, is you just get things that you wouldn't get elsewhere.

[Shane]

Right. I zoned out. I'm sorry.

[Lizzie]

Gosh, it was boring.

[Shane]

No, it wasn't boring.

[Lizzie]

Okay.

[Shane]

It wasn't boring. It really wasn't.

[Lizzie]

I thought you would ask.

[Shane]

Why did I zone out? I must have started thinking about something.

[Lizzie]

What?

[Shane]

Your voice is so hypnotic.

[Lizzie]

Oh, thanks.

[Shane]

[Shane]

Maybe it's you, maybe it's us, maybe it's everybody.

[Lizzie]

Oh, no. We're at zero minutes. I gotta delete some old footage if we're gonna keep going.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Lizzie]

What? You're grabbing my butt.

[Shane]

I'm not. First of all, that's your leg.

[Lizzie]

No, you were down right here.

[Shane]

Sometimes it's funny. Sometimes it's funny. You guys know it's funny to poke your partner's butt and then they go, stop.

[Lizzie]

Well, no, my butt hole. When I walk up the stairs, sticking it all the way in.

[Shane]

That's so funny. Well, you, like, protrude your butt. Like you walk up stairs and you, like protruding your butthole. And it's just. Okay, sorry that I was zoning out, but I remembered what I was thinking, okay? I was thinking about what the thumbnail for this is gonna be.

[Lizzie]

Oh, what is it?

[Shane]

Well, we gotta figure it out. We gotta plan it. You guys can be a Part of it.

[Lizzie]

Do we have to eat anything?

[Shane]

No.

[Lizzie]

Oh, what?

[Shane]

No. People don't want to see us eating in a pool. That's gross. I mean, we could postmasling right now, but. Oh, you know what's so cool? Good, though. Okay, tell me if this hits different. Nobody cares about a quest bar.

[Lizzie]

Well, this is what you brought to eat in the pool.

[Shane]

Okay, tell me if this hits different on summertime. It's not summer.

[Lizzie]

During summertime, you're swimming.

[Shane]

You. You swim up to the ledge, you grab, like, a baloney sandwich and some barbecue chips, and they get a little soggy. They get a little wet. You lick your fingers. You get that chlorine, but also that barbecue. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Oof. And then you take a dip. Put the goggles on. Look under the water.

[Lizzie]

I like a big chipotle burrito for a pool day.

[Shane]

Should we get the GoPro and I should, like, show you, like, swim around the pool and, like, we could do some tricks?

[Lizzie]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Do we have a waterproof GoPro?

[Lizzie]

I would.

[Shane]

Oh, how's this?

[Lizzie]

Are the GoPros waterproof, or do you just need the waterproof case you filmed.

[Shane]

With with it before?

[Lizzie]

I know. I can't remember if I used to.

[Ryan]

Put it in a case or not.

[Lizzie]

No, I think it's just.

[Shane]

Are bones waterproof?

[Lizzie]

They say that you want to test it out.

[Shane]

Test it out. But we don't have goggles.

[Lizzie]

Isn't that bold that they say they're waterproof? I know. I think they didn't survive our spring cleaning, so.

[Shane]

Yeah. The thumbnail. I'm thinking, as much as this is going to anger some people, I feel like I need to take my shirt off for the thumbnail, because me and a shirt in a pool for a thumbnail is. But I don't want to show my body, so we might have to end. My shoulders a little hairy right now because I haven't shaved them in a minute. So I feel like you need to, like, wrap your arms around me, but, like, just from here up, and it's like, pool day.

[Lizzie]

Yeah.

[Shane]

I don't know if you guys want to watch the journey of making that. Check it out on the Patreon. I'm not kidding. Listen, this is how I think I'm thinking about thumbnails while it's happening. I'm waiting to hear is Did a moment happen? That could be a good title so far. Not really.

[Lizzie]

Oh, no.

[Shane]

What? I think we just call it, like, a pool podcast.

[Lizzie]

The pool cast pool. Oh. A pool podcast was drastically better than the pool cast.

[Shane]

Well, the pool cast. Pool cast to me seems more like we're shooting pool in podcasting, which is specific and, like, isn't. I can see James Corden doing that. Like, I'm here with the dad. We're shooting spoon.

[Lizzie]

I could see Jared doing. Doing that.

[Shane]

Yes.

[Lizzie]

Oh, yeah.

[Shane]

What else?

[Lizzie]

This is why I don't work on Sundays. Cuz I'm not like, prepar. Like on Mondays. I'm fired up. I'm ready to go. I've thought about my stories for the week.

[Shane]

Can you imagine?

[Lizzie]

I'm ready to drag some people.

[Shane]

Okay, imagine if we just, for the next five minutes, just started, like, me just making out in the pool. We're not gonna do that. But wouldn't that be insane? And just like, we didn't even say anything about it. We're just like, anyways, thanks, guys for watching. And it just gets more and more intense.

[Lizzie]

We start having sex.

[Shane]

It just gets more and more weird. And we should have done that for April Fool's Day. We, like, we make it seem like we forgot to turn the camera off and we forgot to, like, watch the footage. And it's like that anora scene where you're, like, spitting into your hand and you're just like.

[Lizzie]

That ends in her crying.

[Shane]

Well, don't. Spoiler alert.

[Lizzie]

I mean, whatever. What even happened in that movie? You know what I'm saying?

[Shane]

A lot. Okay, what else?

[Lizzie]

Well, see, this is why I normally go through my camera roll before I film the sip. But we. You kind of were just like, let's film in the pool. And I was like, okay, normally I like, premeditate some stories. They're all things that actually happen, but at least I know a direction.

[Shane]

Oh.

[Lizzie]

It was our anniversary.

[Shane]

That's why we went nine years.

[Lizzie]

That's why we went on our trip.

[Shane]

Guys, that's a fourth grader. Nine years. That's a fully developed fourth grade brain. That's like, you know, your multiplications, your additions, you know, your divisions. Unless you're him. You heard that joke?

[Lizzie]

Yes, I did.

[Shane]

So, yeah, we've been together for nine years. Okay, so let's talk about what's like. Okay. Oh, my gosh. So what was your favorite part of life before us? Oh, and what's your favorite part of life after us while we're with each other?

[Lizzie]

I had just seen they're casting, like, a Calabasas Housewives show, and I was telling Shane, should I apply? But I didn't. I took a screenshot of it.

[Shane]

Well, you're a man now.

[Lizzie]

Well, I don't think it has to be specific. It just says now casting Calabasas.

[Shane]

I mean, you could have. You could be on a reality show if you want. I don't know if I want to be on it.

[Lizzie]

I don't really like the idea of them having control over the edit and I probably. Yeah, no, probably not. But, you know, I've been asking for an opportunity.

[Shane]

Your toenails are weird, too.

[Lizzie]

What?

[Shane]

Why is it black?

[Lizzie]

It's probably just a little lint from my bruise.

[Shane]

No, lint, because I have a bruise on my toenail.

[Lizzie]

This isn't a bruise. What are you talking about?

[Shane]

That looks like a bruise sweep.

[Lizzie]

No, that's lint from socks. Anyways, it will come right out. That's not what you guys wanted.

[Shane]

Okay, so what was your favorite part of life before us?

[Lizzie]

Before us? I mean, I was a child before us. No, I'm just kidding. Nothing. I mean, I. I was never the type of girl that loved like, quote unquote. Oh, my gosh, you had this blocking our frame.

[Shane]

My favorite part of life was filming videos alone. Kidding. I'm kidding. Yeah, that was not my favorite part of life.

[Lizzie]

You would beg me after I got home from work to film with you because you were so bored of filming alone. Because he would film all five videos in one day and he'd be like, do you want to be in this last one? And I'd be like, sure. Before, like, I wasn't the single kind of girl in a sense that like all of my friends on a Friday night would be like, let's go to the bar.

[Shane]

So at the clubs.

[Lizzie]

And I'd be like, oh, that sounds awful. I never really liked that that much. So I don't know.

[Shane]

Okay, interesting answer.

[Lizzie]

What did I, like, what did I do before us?

[Shane]

I, you know. Okay, it's not my favorite. But what I would do is so, like, I. I don't know what? Mental illness. Here's the thing. I've been in therapy every week for what, five years now? About six years now. I've worked through a lot of things and I don't know, there's like some things that I kind of fall in the category of list. I have some traits of, you know, like the OCD and whatever. But there's one specific thing and I don't know what it is. But like, I will sometimes get into this, this like week long thing where I just want to lay and not do anything and binge watch something and be really sad and like, that's it. And I Would do that every other month. When I lived alone, I would literally just lay and not do anything for like a week. And then I'd be, like, rejuvenated afterward. I can't do it anymore because if I do that now, it's a problem.

[Lizzie]

I don't think that's because of me. I think that's because we have kids. I would also like to spend a whole day doing that. Well, I guess mine would be a week.

[Shane]

No, mine's a week.

[Lizzie]

Okay. I would like to do that for an entire day. But we don't have that luxury anymore.

[Shane]

No. And like, you can't really do that when you're in a relationship because then the other person is just like, what's going on? And, like, they're like, nervous for you.

[Lizzie]

I don't know. I think before we had five animals and two kids, we would sit on the couch, like, all day Saturday and Sunday. Sometimes, like, we would just go from the pool to the couch.

[Shane]

We are misinterpreting.

[Lizzie]

Okay, so this is depression, not relaxation.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Lizzie]

Here you miss having depression spouts where you could do nothing. Okay.

[Shane]

No.

[Lizzie]

So you're welcome. You're welcome for making your life happier.

[Shane]

I miss being it. Because now I will still have the same depressive, like, week, but I can't. I'll have to still work through it, which is a positive, I guess. You're welcome. But yeah, there is, like, that moment where I'm like, I wish I could literally just lay and watch an old season of some show for the next week and not do anything. And I can't.

[Lizzie]

Well, that's what I was saying. I think I said that on last week's episode is like, I will see a lot of people that are like, you seem so productive. And I'm like, well, yeah, that's because I have too many responsibilities. Which in, if you reflect on it, it really does keep you in a happier state of mind because it forces you to go do things that you wouldn't do if you just wanted to be in a little depressed. What would you call that state?

[Shane]

I call it low grade clinical depression. I've never been on antidepressants. I feel like it's always something I should play with, test out, give a little test drive to beep, beep. Maybe one day. Yes. But I don't know. I feel like.

[Lizzie]

I feel like you. I mean, if you are depressed, one of those things where, like, either hide it well or you function well, you're.

[Shane]

Highly functioning, highly functional. Because it's one of those Things where, like, I never thought I had depression. Depression, because I've never. I'm. I'm contradicting myself because I was gonna say I've never not been able to get out of bed. But. But, but in those states where I just want to lay in bed for a week, if there was something that came up, I was able to get up, get ready, and go. Like, it's never kept me. Do you know what I mean? I feel like depression. From what I've heard from friends and people I know the commercial. You cannot get out of bed. You cannot function. And I've always been able to. So I don't know. That's why I've always been like, well, I don't need medication because I'm not. Anyways, I should save this conversation for my therapist anyways.

[Lizzie]

Right? Right.

[Shane]

Imagine being him. You know what I mean? Never even having.

[Lizzie]

I had 30 minutes today and you're holding it against me.

[Shane]

Oh, my God. His version of depression is him just being like, I want to work out, but I also don't. Like, okay. And he doesn't have a therapist.

[Lizzie]

No, it's because. Oh, please. It's because I didn't get my ass up and go to the gym this morning. Girl, I should try. I already did try. Another one wasn't a match. And I don't want to go on it on. I don't want to go on a mass hunt to find a therapist because then I feel like I have to, like, produce an hour long thing every week. What if I don't have something pressing that I want to talk about? Then I'm forced to. Like, what? Like create a podcast brief.

[Shane]

You just sit in silence and stare at them. They stare back at you.

[Lizzie]

I let it all out here.

[Shane]

Wow. You guys should be. He should be paying.

[Lizzie]

You guys charging.

[Shane]

What else?

[Lizzie]

I got my frustrations out right here.

[Shane]

Are we doing an Easter egg hunt?

[Lizzie]

I mean, they're not gonna technically understand it. I mean, they could go around and pick up.

[Shane]

I mean, if we put a little treat inside of an egg and they will know that there's a tree inside of an egg, and if we put little eggs around the house, they will find them.

[Lizzie]

Yeah, I guess I'm. Yes, they will. We'll do that. I'm looking forward to, like, a couple years from now when I can do, like, the riddles where. I mean, even if we have to read them, like, oh, yeah. Oh, I hope you don't mind that I stopped and had to use your washer last night. Go to the washing machine. Then in the washing machine, there's an egg. Well, while I was waiting for the wash to be done, I got a little hungry, so I helped myself to a snack. I hope you don't mind that I choked out your fridge. Over to the fridge. And then it all leads to the big Easter basket at the end.

[Shane]

Are you gonna do that for me this year?

[Lizzie]

I did it for you a couple of times.

[Shane]

And then you never did it again.

[Lizzie]

Because you didn't really like it.

[Shane]

I love it.

[Lizzie]

I don't know if you really like it.

[Shane]

What do you mean? I loved it. It was so fun.

[Lizzie]

Okay, I'll do it again. I just didn't know if you actually liked it. That's why I had that kid.

[Shane]

I think it's fun.

[Lizzie]

Oh, I gotta pee. What? I do.

[Shane]

We could have a conversation about peeing in the pool. It's always controversial.

[Lizzie]

I mean, go for it, I guess, and. No, like, go for your take on it.

[Shane]

Go for it right now. You're like, I already am.

[Lizzie]

Go for it.

[Shane]

Wait. Should we try to film underwater? Are we gonna use your phone?

[Lizzie]

No, I'm not gonna pull out my. Where's the GoPros? It's gonna be so cold if we get out.

[Shane]

And I guess you guys don't get it. Sorry.

[Lizzie]

Rude. Okay, seriously, I have to pee. I guess I can't go pee and get the GoPro.

[Shane]

You could, and then I guess. What are we gonna talk about? Well, I'm probably not gonna dip my head underwater because I don't have goggles. So then what's the point?

[Lizzie]

Right?

[Shane]

And I don't have my earplugs.

[Lizzie]

We've gotta stock up for the summer. All right. Well, this has been fun, you guys. I hope you enjoyed the float. That was what you dubbed it?

[Shane]

I'm thinking.

[Lizzie]

I don't know.

[Ryan]

What are we gonna do?

[Lizzie]

What's the take on peeing?

[Shane]

You are not peeing right next to. You're not peeing while there's a camera rolling. That's ugly.

[Lizzie]

That is intimate.

[Shane]

That's weird. I don't want to see your pee face. I don't have to see in real life. I don't want to see it.

[Lizzie]

You're the one that's always walking in on me going to the bathroom.

[Shane]

Well, because I like talking. I would never walk in on you while you were doing something else. But, like, if you're peeing, what else.

[Lizzie]

Would I be doing?

[Shane]

Oh, what else would I really?

[Lizzie]

I mean, I don't know.

[Shane]

Yeah, I wouldn't want be there for that, you know. But you know what's weird? When I go, I fart underwater.

[Lizzie]

Can they hear it?

[Shane]

That was insane. That was insane. That was the craziest thing you've ever done. And it stinks.

[Lizzie]

I'm embarrassed. I had to walk away because I'm embarrassed.

[Shane]

It's crazy. Whoa. That was very intimate, the fact that you gave that away for free. Not on Patreon. You're welcome, you guys. Oh, it stinks. Oh my God.

[Lizzie]

Oh my gosh. I had to.

[Shane]

Well, hopefully you guys enjoyed floating with us. It was enjoyable until that.

[Lizzie]

Well, you guys will see you next week. I hope you had a good time. Make sure you you follow Shane. I'll list his links in the description section below. We love you very much. We'll see you next week. Goodbye. And that's the sip.

[Shane]

Alright guys.

[Lizzie]

Toodaloo.

[Shane]

Hold on. You gotta cover my shoulders because I don't feel like face tuning out the hair. This is. We can. This cannot be the thought. This is.

[Lizzie]

Okay. We had good ones. We had good ones.
